Bibb County issues[edit]

First Baptist Church of Christ at Macon (not in NRIS-based table); is this formerly listed or otherwise not currently NRHP-listed?
Macon Historic District (Boundary Increase), boundary increase to record into its article and into location and date info in table

Macon Railway and Light Company Substation[edit]

The photo for Macon Railway and Light Company Substation does not show the building that is on the NRHP. Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 03:44, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Tracking down building demolitions[edit]

I did some research on the disposition of the buildings that are clearly missing on Google Maps. I was able to nail down Leroy Napier House (moved!) which I'm working on an article for. I also added citations for the exact circumstances in which Solomon-Curd House and Goodall House ceased to be.

If anyone is interested in this, still need help nailing down what happened to Robert Findlay House at 785 2nd Street and Militia Headquarters Building (aka American Office Equipment Company) at 552-564 Mulberry. Both have clearly been demolished, it would be nice to document the details for each. I did fix an erroneous photo in the article for Militia HQ, there was confusion between it and its immediate neighbor.

I searched the Macon city directories for each of the two missing buildings, using the street address. The Findlay House was listed as being the "YWCA Arts Center" in the 1972 and 1974 directories. In 1975 through 2001, there's a listing for "YWCA" at 775 2nd Street and no listing at all for 785. The large building at 639 Hemlock, which now occupies that entire block along with its parking lots, has no listings in 2004 directories but shows its first tenants in 2005. So the question is, did the Findlay house get demolished as part of the site prep for 639 Hemlock, or did it disappear earlier by other means? (e.g. burned down, YWCA demolished it, etc).

As for the Militia HQ / American Office Equipment, it is a little more difficult because it had multiple tenants and multiple street numbers. The latest directory with anything between 552 and 562 Mulberry was 1977 with one tenant at 554. 1978-1983 shows 564 as "Vacant" and various tenants at 566 and/or 570. 1987-2000 shows a real estate agent / manager named A Emmett Barnes having an office at 564 with no listings for 566 (which is the Emerson–Holmes Building next door). 2001 and later shows no listings at 552 through 564 but sometimes various tenants at 566. So my best guess is the building was demolished in 2001. Unless it was demolished in 1978, and 564 was peeled off to mean something different. (For instance, perhaps there was some sort of temporary structure next to the Emerson-Holmes building?).

If anyone can do some research-fu it would be great to nail down what happened to these two buildings. --Krelnik (talk) 14:06, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Good work. Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 16:03, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I emailed the Historic Macon foundation to see if maybe they have some record of what happened to these other two. I'll update if they reply. --Krelnik (talk) 16:35, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
