Bartow History Museum: "White Columns"

Description

Ron Goss to Discuss Preserving “White Columns”

On Wednesday, January 15, 2014 at noon, Ron Goss, owner of Pennant Construction Management, will discuss the preservation of the 1876 Conyers-Goss home, affectionately referred to as “White Columns.”   

Constructed in 1876 by James B. Conyers, 91 Market Street (now 120 W. Cherokee Avenue) was an ornately decorated Victorian home situated a block from Cartersville’s developing square. With the influence of the newly built Gold Dome Courthouse in 1903, the home underwent a radical facelift that transformed it into “White Columns”. After sitting vacant for nearly a quarter of a century, the home has been completely restored by Pennant Construction Management as both an office for the company and the private residence of its owners Ron & Lorie Goss.

This Lunch and Learn will take place at the Bartow History Museum located at 4 E. Church Street in downtown Cartersville.  Parking is available next to the building.  The lecture is free to members and included with the price of admission for not-yet members.  Guests are invited to bring a lunch beginning at 11:45 a.m., and the program will begin at noon.  For more information on this and other BHM programs, call 770-382-3818, ext. 6288 or visit our website at www.bartowhistorymuseum.org.
