You’ll have trouble finding Pope City on most maps today and it’s never really been much more than a wide spot in the road. But this populated place in northwestern Wilcox County was significant enough to have a post office from 1910-1918. This structure was likely the voting precinct or “courthouse”.

Springvale Courthouse, Randolph County
My identification of this structure is tentative. I’m aware of a precinct at Springvale and this appears to be the only logical location. Precinct houses are often referred to as courthouses in rural Georgia. It’s possible that it originally served another purpose but I haven’t been able to locate any history. I’ll update if/when I learn more.

General Store, Stapleton Crossroads
This served for many years as the precinct house for the Stapleton Crossroads community (not to be confused with nearby Stapleton). It was likely a store before it was used as a precinct house.
