Title

POW Camp Guardhouse

Description

Once a guardhouse at the Prisoner of War (POW) camp located in Ashburn, Georgia from 1943-1946. This one is located on Raney Street in Ashburn with another on Monroe Avenue. According to current Raney St. owner Susan Watson, "It was purchased by the Mashburn family and placed in the backyard for their daughter Felicia to have a place to wash ladies' hair. When I was 5 or 6, I would go with my grandmother to take biscuits to the camp... whether for prisoners or guards, I don't know; I also remember Grandmother would come to Felicia's little beauty parlor to have her hair washed and rolled."
