Building History
The Adelle Theatre
The Adelle Theatre opened on November 6, 1914 and featured silent movies and traveling shows of large casts. In 1923, The Adelle ceased operation as a theatre. Since then, the building has been restored to its original magnificence with little alteration. The balcony retains its slanted floor, and the metal-lined projection room (for fire prevention) is still intact along with the ticket window. |
Hunt Rainey Building
Initially used as a buggy assembly facility, the Hunt Rainey Building still utilizes its original elevator. The basement of the building consists of a unique brick floor (laid on sides) that extends under the sidewalk and an iron door with rosey quartz panels to allow light into the room. |
Express Office
As the oldest building in Eatonton, The Express Office has all its original heart pine floors, doors, and mantels. The downstairs area was originally used as a stage coach stop. The upstairs features a full length mural on the plaster walls and also retains the original peephole door used by an all male secret society. |
