Maxeys Gone With The Wind....by Reid Callaway
The Iron Stairway Art
Maxeys Georgia Art

What this must have looked like back in its day! My historian friend told me about a store and a stairway he had never seen but his Dad had years ago. He assured me it was there. My curiosity got the best of me so I drove the 15-20 miles to the little forgotten town of Maxeys, GA. I had taken images of the exterior of the store as I passed thru on another trip. I crawled thru the open back door and took these amazing images of years "gone with the wind". I found the workmanship was incredible on these stairs, the metal wrapping of the beams and the list goes on and on.... The remodel of this old store building must have hit the downturn in the economy of 2008 or so and the project was stopped and not resumed. It would cost a small fortune to do it right and then who would come this far off the beaten path to enjoy it. What a fine restaurant and meeting hall it would make. It probably was a hardware/clothing store back in the day with the open floor plan. This store would have sold about anything you could want or need in this deep south community. It is said, that anyone who lives here get to go to the University Of Georgia FREE, paid for by a rich donor's estate and will. My Great Uncle T. G. Williams used it for his daughter's education at UGA when they lived here in the 1960's and 70's.
