History of the Building:

Located at 6 East Washington Street, Greenhouse Mercantile is a curated, lifestyle boutique. The current business owner, Kenya Brantley, emphasizes the importance of clean and ethical products at Greenhouse Mercantile. Built as an extension to the Virginia House in 1885, 6 E Washington Street became part of the Virginia House as the hotel portion of the house, equipped with sleeping rooms. The Virginia House, originally known as the Coweta House, serves today as offices in the historic district. The present-day structure of the main part of the Virginia House was constructed in 1868. After being purchased by the Yancy sisters, the house was expanded from 12 to 50 rooms in 1884 (which is now called 6 E Washington Street). In 1911, the sleeping rooms were transformed into an electric store, which offered stoves, lights, and other electric appliances, During the 30s and 40s, the Virginia House hosted the first Newnan Civitan Club meeting and the first Pilot Club of Newnan meeting. The dining room was also used to host Catholic mass on Sundays. In 1949, 6 East Washington Street became home to the Virginia House Beauty Shop, a clothing store, and a cafe. In 1961, the building became the Virginia House Shop for Ladies and Children’s Apparel. During the 1990s, the building housed a salon, which then turned into a painting studio till 2016, which is when the building welcomed Greenhouse Mercantile.
