I photographed this commissary on US 129 south of Hawkinsville in 2010. I believe it was razed a couple of years later.

Taylor Memorial Hospital, 1938, Hawkinsville
This hospital was chartered in 1936. Robert Jenks Taylor gave the city $100,000 for construction of the hospital in memory of his father, Dr. Eziekiel Henry Taylor, and his grandfather, Dr. Robert Newsome Taylor, Hawkinsville’s first physicians. It closed in early 1977 with the completion of a newer facility north of town. After being in a state of disrepair for many years it is presently being restored for use as apartments.
