Title
The Wiregrass Farmer Building, (109 N Gordon St., Ashburn, GA)
Description
The Wiregrass Farmer building was designed by Peter E. Dennis of the Dennis & Dennis firm of Macon, Georgia in 1903. It was constructed on the instructions of town pioneer and Ashburn entrepreneur John Samuel Betts (July 29, 1848 – April 25, 1918). Although the original use of the building was for governmental purposes, particularly the open second floor used as a court until the Turner County Courthouse’s construction in 1907, the main use for the past 100+ years has been for the legal organ and the local newspaper for the county, The Wiregrass Farmer.
