The old jail in the background on the right. The First Baptist Church building that burned.

My grandmother’s house sits directly behind the First Baptist church. I grew up in this church. The Southern Bell building to the right of the church was eventually an annex of the church. Sitting directly behind the southern bell building is the house I lived in when first married, a year after the photo was taken. To the right of my former home is the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office & Jail. My grandaddy, T. Carroll was Deputy Sheriff when this location was built. The flower shop can be seen in the left hand corner which would soon become the home of Susie’s Pizza. Later on, my now ex-husband and I would work their part time for several years.
