| At right is picture the old Jno. T. Maffett Coal Company. This picture was taken in the late 1800s. J.R. Poindexter and Son purchase this property and moved it over from the railroad and back from the road. In 1933, the lumber yard was built around the largest part of the building. That part of the building still exists and is now the nail room, glass room and upstairs moulding room. You can even still see the steeple on top of the building. |
