The picture above is of Johnson Gin Company. The business was located at the corner of South King and Court Street. This company appears on the 1911 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map for Calhoun. It was destroyed by fire in 1943.
I took the name of this blog from a portion of the Georgia Digital Library called Vanishing Georgia. This is a digital repository of pictures of historical Georgia. Building on this idea I am going to use this Blog to hopefully stimulate the sharing of information about Vanishing Calhoun and Gordon County, Georgia. I added the Other Items of Historical Interest on December 27, 2007. This reflects my interest in a lot of things that I would like to call to other folks attention.
