A little Springfield history has been hiding in plain sight.
Renovations at 516 S. Main Street, just off the Robertson County Courthouse square, recently exposed this old “Fann’s Fashion Shoppe” sign. The building dates to around the 1890s and was identified in historic records as the former Pitt Brothers Wholesale and Retail Whiskey House. By 1979, it was listed as the Georgia Girl’s Fashions Building.
We haven’t yet been able to pin down exactly when Ann’s Fashion Shoppe operated there, but the sign appears to have been hidden behind later renovations for decades. If you know, post it in comments below.
And as for what’s coming next? What we’ve heard is that The Tennessee Dough Boys, a Southern pizzeria and biscuit house, is going in at 518 S. Main Street.
