Newnan Carnegie Library

The Carnegie provides a central dynamic gathering place that serves residents of all ages and backgrounds as well as community organizations and meeting spaces enhanced by an art gallery. It seeks to be an integral part of the community by offering print and electronic materials, services, and programs to adults and children to enrich daily lives." THE HISTORY OF THE BUILDING: Located at 1 Lagrange Street, the Carnegie Library is a historic icon in the downtown historic district of Newnan. The Newnan Carnegie Library sports the blue sign above the building that says “Newnan The City of Homes,” which lights up the evening. This building has been a landmark in Newnan for over a century and has had a long history of its community outreach in the city. In 1883, the First Library Association was formed here and was the original building at 1 Lagrange Street. This library was not a public library, as you had to pay a few dollars yearly for a membership. Charles L. Thompson saw the need for a public library in the community, so he wrote to Andrew Carnegie about funding a library in Newnan. Andrew Carnegie was a leading industrialist and philanthropist at the time, as the steel industry made him one of the richest men in American history. Andrew Carnegie, in 1901, provided a grant of $10,000 for the construction of the library. This grant was one of the first Carnegie Library grants in the state of Georgia, and this library would be the first public library in Newnan. In 1904, the library would officially open to the public, with the main floor hosting reading rooms and a second floor having meeting spaces. By 1905, Carnegie Library had approximately 1,800 volumes and over 3,000 daily Congress records. Daily Congress records were how people kept up with federal and congressional politics at the time. By 1912, there were over 1,200 members of the library. With the population of Newnan at the time being 5,500, over a fifth of the population were members of the library. Many people in the community loved the library, with members bringing flowers into the library to brighten up the space. The Carnegie Library continued as a library until 1987, as a new facility was constructed on Hospital Road. The Carnegie Library then served as an overflow courtroom the county courthouse. In 2007, the library was restored by the City of Newnan, which brought back Carnegie Library services to the downtown area.

Redneck Gourmet

The building that now houses Redneck Gourmet, 11 North Court Square, is distinctive for its exterior mural celebrating country music superstar and Newnan native Alan Jackson—and David Boyd’s iconic Redneck sign. Mike and Cile Smith founded the restaurant (which for several years also included a specialty foods shop) in 1991. Their youngest son, Casey, and his wife Melissa have owned Redneck since TK YEAR. The building, constructed around 1890, has a long and varied history. First it was a bank. When visiting Below the Neck, the restaurant’s basement bar, you might be surprised to know that the bank’s long-ago vault required some special support structures beneath the first floor, removed at some point in the middle of the 20th century. Some time later, the building was divided into two separate properties. One of the businesses on the ground floor was TK, a men’s and women’s clothing store. By the 1980s, it was Gene’s Fashions on one side and a real estate company on the other. Upstairs, another real estate company operated for many years, eventually to be replaced by the studios of WNEA radio, and later, a photography studio. The basement was often utilized as well, apparently including, at various times, a barber and a shoe repair shop. At first, the Smiths leased the left side of the building before expanding to own and occupy the entire property in 2004. While renovating the building, Casey was surprised to find the remnants of what apparently were 19th-century bathing stalls.

Newnan Mercantile

Follow us on social media and join our Newnan Mercantile VIP group page for daily postings. HISTORY OF THE BUILDING: Located a 11-13 Greenville Street, the Newnan Mercantile Building stands as a prominent landmark in the historic district of downtown Newnan. The building’s large, distinctive lettering reading “Newnan Mercantile” has made it an iconic symbol within the downtown. Constructed in 1885 as a part of the “Kirby Block,” the first documented business was a bank and a general merchandise store in 1889. The early 1890s saw the Newnan Mercantile Building hosting Bradleys Drug Store alongside the general merchandise store. By 1906, the building had an array of businesses, including a clothing store, hardware store, and furniture store. This period of varied commercial activity continued until the 1920s, when the building was home to a sign painting company. The 1930s brought further changes, with the building hosting J. T Pike Grocer, S. H Matthews Cigar Manufacturing, Main Barber Shop, and Economy Auto Shop in 1936. Throughout the 1940s, it remained bustling before the transition to new tenants, with Western Auto Associates, William A. Hart & Sons, and Brooks-Moody Clothing Company. In 1954, Newnan Mercantile Building housed Bruner’s Department Store, which expanded to provide shoes in 1962. The building continued its history of hair styling businesses with Corrie Mae’s Hair Stylist Salon, as well as housing a barber shop both in 1972. In 1988, Fisher Insurance & Realtor Agency used this space before it became Bruner’s in 1990 and Stairway to Heaven in 2009. The current tenants, Newnan Mercantile, started their brick-and-mortar business in 2017 at 11-13 Greenville Street.

The building was rebuilt again before the 1940s, with Arthur Murphey Florist moving into 8 Lagrange Street in 1946. Arthur Murphey Florist ran their business out of this building for several decades before moving next door to 6 Lagrange Street, which is the other space in the same building. In the 1990s, Kids Kuts Inc. used the building, before the before housed David Taylor & Associates LLC Attorney at Law and David Taylor & Jim Strickland in the 2010s.
