Joe Hopkins writes that this the was commissary for the turpentine operations at Toledo. I would go there on Saturday mornings when I was a kid with my great uncle to pay off the turpentine employees. The store housed basic staples and dry goods for the workers living at the Toledo settlement and the business records of the company. The dirt road on the porch side of the commissary was the original road running from Folkston to St.George.
Yes that was home for me & my family my dad Eugene Reed & my brothers Frankie & Kenneth Reed all work out there my neighbor jusus Winn & host of young men work out there as mr Fell as there Forman , I think my brothers were the last to work out there when terpentine was still going on I went out & helped my brothers out during our summer break from school.
It is the old commissary at the turpentine settlement of Toledo.
