"In 1879, the Dorsett, Price & McElreath General Store and Cotton Warehouse opened. This two story building was one of the first permanent brick buildings in the commercial district. The business was sold to Samuel N. Dorsett, who was one of the first merchants in Douglasville and co-owner of the Weekly Star newspaper. In the early 1900's J.M. Roberts operated a hardware store out of this building. Hoke Bearden operated a grocery store here in the 1940's. In 1997, Allen Bearden, son of Mrs. Edna Bearden, and Greg Peoples purchased the building and continue to occupy it today." ~ Douglasville DDA, Feb. 2017
