- Description:
- Sandersville, ca. 1909. Group of men, probably veterans of the Civil War, gathered for a photograph in front of the Masonic hall located on Haynes Street at the southwest corner of the square. It was built circa 1855-1856 and was the only public building spared from burning by General William T. Sherman during the Civil War. About 1909 the lower floor was utilized as the public library begun by the Transylvania Club. On Feb. 13, 1921 the structure was destroyed by fire and about 7000 volumes in the library were lost, too.
