Images of Grantville Georgia.

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Richard Weisser Realty

Grantville Georgia, in the southern part of Coweta County, is a picturesque old village setting that has not changed much over the last 50 years. It has period qualities that create the perfect depiction of a cotton mill town in rural Americana.

Here are some images taken in the historic downtown district:

Don...

I try to create "poster" prints when I shoot architecture. I really work hard getting the shot right! THX.

Gary...

The deep blue sky is one of my trademarks. I try to get it in all my shots.

Pam...

It's done at the time of the shot. Early morning or late afternoon, clear skies, as close to 90 degrees from the sun as you can get, and a quality circular polarizing filter. That's how!

Richard, great photos and and a very picturesque town. How far is Grantville from Thomasville? I've been to Thomasville a couple of times on business a few years ago.

Richard, it is beautiful. I hope in this particular small town the residents appeciate it as much as you and your photos clearly show. I do not know much about Grantville, but I would and hopefully they have not succumbed to the expansion of corporate America. I imagine a leasurely stroll through town ad seeing all the neighbors sitting on their front porches drinking teas or lemonade (fresh of course) waiting for the apple /peach/ blackberyy pie sitting in the sill to cool.

Sounds delicious!

Downtown Grantville would be a perfect movie set for a 1930's - 1060's movie! Thanks.

Michael...

It's a good ways from Thomasville, but only about 50 miles SW of Atlanta. It's right along I-85. Thank you.

Bo...

There is also a true period mill village surrounding the old cotton mill complex, with few modern distractions! It's a great place to go back in time.THX

Nancy...

I always plan my shots to the location of the sun. It's absolutely critical for outdoor shots. Thank youi!

Richard...agreed...great pictures! It's little towns like this that are the reason to "get off the interstate highway" and see America! We miss so much from these little towns. A while back, I was at Lake Oconee, then drove to Cherokee, NC. Ok, there is NO direct route for THAT trip....so we had to take all back roads. Geez.....saw some beautiful countryside and some quaint little towns with great houses! Made we want to buy one, cept I'd go crazy living someplace like that!

Great post.

You must have quite a few older small communities in your area Richard.

I love the style of the red brick one. It is truly representative of an era.

Richard, I just love the old brick buildings. There are a lot of them in Iowa. Some are in such disrepair they have been tearing them down. It is sad because they aren't rebuilding and then there are just vacant lots left. Maybe when the economy picks up again.....
