RE: Historic Plaque Ceremony, Andrews-Hamby Men’s
Store- 06/05/17
TOCCOA, GA – The eighth historic plaque in the
2016-2017 series of plaques dedicated to downtown buildings was unveiled on
Thursday, June 1, 2017 at 5 p.m., at the former location of the Andrews-Hamby
Men’s Store, located at 20 Doyle Street.
The plaque ceremony was short and memorable, drawing
downtown business owners, local citizens, and city officials. Several poignant
stories were shared regarding this historic downtown storefront. Main Street
Toccoa is honored by the attendance of Mrs. Margaret Andrews, the wife of Jim
Andrews, owner of the Andrews-Hamby Men’s Store, at the historic plaque
dedication.
The historic
plaque program highlights ten historic buildings in Toccoa, and the remaining
plaques are set to follow each month. Once all plaques have been installed, they
will be added to Main Street Toccoa’s Historic Walking Tour Guide.
The Main Street Office is happy to answer any
questions regarding the Historic Plaque Program. Please contact Christian
Hamilton at 706.898.5777 for inquiries.
