" ... Another building incorporating several storefronts that was constructed in the
early 1890s was the Roop Building, on the south side of Newnan Street. Located at 123 Newnan
Street, three of the four storefronts were completed in 1894, with the fourth store, on the eastern side
adjacent to the alley, added in 1902. It was used as a dry goods store from 1905 to 1930, a
department store from 1940 to 1952, and a Sears from 1965 to 1986. The building was extensively
renovated in 1988 and no longer retains its original fabric.
" ... Social clubs and fraternal orders, such as the previously mentioned Masons and Odd Fellows,
flourished during the flush times of the early 20th century, some of which had their meetings in
downtown Carrollton. The Elks Club rented rooms in the Roop Building, on the south side of
Newnan Street. ..." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
