"The North Villa Rica Commercial Historic District includes five blocks of commercial buildings north
of the rail line. These blocks consist of mostly attached one-story brick commercial buildings
constructed between 1900 and 1929. Many buildings in the district feature a center entrance flanked
by display windows and some decorative brickwork along the parapet. Many
of the commercial buildings are plain but some are highly ornate, such as 141 Temple Street, which
includes arched windows and transom with raised keystones and a brick paneled parapet. The buildings at 141 and 121 Temple Street both feature mouse-tooth brickwork above
paneled entablature. ..
" ... The Temple street building [The Golden City Hosiery Mill] (now Michaels' Antiques and Auction) was lit by large
factory windows and electric lights powered by a separate boiler building (no longer extant) located
at the rear of the lot ...
"The block bounded by Temple Street, Velvin Lane, Church Street, and North Candler Street is a
series of attached buildings constructed by the Cleghorn Brothers between 1908 and 1929. The
brothers owned a harness shop, a hardware and building materials business, and owned a
substantial number of houses and stores. ... The Golden City
Hosiery Mill was constructed in 1929." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
