WINDER, Ga. (AP) - The Barrow County Historical Society is seeking stories and old photos of the Granite Hotel, which is scheduled to be demolished soon.
The Athens Banner-Herald reports the historical society plans to turn the remembrances into a brochure or a display in the county's museum. Kathy White, president of the historical society, says the company that's been hired to take down the dilapidated building is scheduled to start demolition any day now. Cummins Enterprises has received the permit it needs to start demolishing the structure, and already has started to secure the site in preparation for the work. The Granite Hotel was built in 1899 to give newcomers a place to stay while they built homes. ___ Information from: Athens Banner-Herald, http://www.onlineathens.com # # # Copyright 2012 Associated Press.
