MURRAY WAREHOUSE BLOCK

Subject

Downtown Newnan, Murray Warehouse block

Description

This postcard scene of the Murray Warehouse Block building just off the Court Square on West Washington Street. The postcard listed the address as 2450 West Washington, about which Pinson is surprised because he started Newnan Electric Company in part of the building in 1953 - but the address was 11 West Washington. The building is now at 7, 9, 11, and 13 West Washington, he said. The scene is probably around the turn of the century; a sign on the building shows it was constructed in 1895 and the mode of travel was still by horse and wagon. Pinson said he did not know Mr. Dan Manget had a cigar factory in the building, as shown by the signs on the building and wagon, which is apparently carrying a large load of tobacco. The card was given to Pinson by Mrs. Manget.
