The L. P. McDougal Grocery is a two-story brick building with a row of chimneys along the sides and a store front featuring a shed roofed balcony over the porch. The balcony is enclosed by a balustrade. A shaded balcony reached by a long staircase is visible at the back on the side of the building. Presumably the side balcony doubles as a fire escape. The long windows with shallowly arched lintels are characteristic of the Italianate Style. Bostwick, a town eleven miles north of Madison, was named after John Bostwick, a Georgia State Representative, who helped develop the community. He built a cotton gin and lead the organization of a railroad that ran from Bostwick to Apalachee and eventually to Monroe. The town thrived when cotton farming was profitable in the 1920s, and had two gins, a cotton seed oil mill, depot and train station, bank, hotel, a dry cleaning business, three doctors, a blacksmith shop, a post office, and three businesses with gas pumps. Bostwick still has one fo the few operational cotton gins in Georgia. The four principle stores in Bostwick were Bostwick General Merchandise Company, T. H. Nolan General Merchandise Company, the Nunn store, and L. P. McDougal Grocery.
