Significance: The Braselton Brothers Store is a contributing historic resource in the existing Braselton National Register of Historic Places District and represents the commercial significance of the district. As the center of commercial activity throughout the historic period, the store served as a retail center for goods and services for portions of three counties, including western Jackson, northwestern Barrow, and southeastern Hall counties. The Braselton Brothers Store is also architecturally significant as an excellent representative example of the multiple resource type of historic commercial buildings as defined in the Georgia Resources Survey guide. This type of historic resource typically includes two or more one-story attached units built together with identical facades and storefronts, and usually three-bays wide. This commercial building type was generally built in Georgia from the 1890s into the 1930s. The character-defining features of the Braselton Brothers Store include a row of one-story brick stores with flat roofs and parapets, terracotta coping, historic signs, bands of widows with transoms, large display windows, recessed main entrances, and three-bay front facades.
