Standing on the south side of the square looking north today this is what you see. The old Parks Belk building on the left and Suntrust Bank on the right. The pavillion stands behind the Davy Crockett Statue. THEN the old Courthouse is there with more business lining the streets. Appears to be prior to 1930. It's hard to see but it looked to us like the corner building where Parks Belk use to be is under construction. The northwest corner of the square can be seen. Or we're confusing that for the near corner construction. Is that the old water tank seen center right over the top of the near building with Curtis Motor painted on the side?
Most of us remember the Swift Company residing in this building. We found it labeled the Swiss Cheese Plant. Now closed and window bricked only the Swift sign post remains.
