2 midstate sites on Georgia Trust’s ‘peril’ list | Local & State | Macon.com

Two Middle Georgia sites are on the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation’s 2014 list of 10 Places in Peril.

Among the sites on the list released Tuesday are the Chauncey School in Dodge County and the Hawkinsville firehouse in Pulaski County.

Chauncey, with a population of 342 according to the 2010 U.S. Census, was the first city in Georgia to issue bonds to build and equip a modern school building. The Chauncey School was built in 1914, and the building features six classrooms, a science laboratory and an auditorium. It is described by the Georgia Trust as boasting a Neoclassical Revival facade and early 20th century details such as pressed tin ceilings, elaborate moldings and glass doorknobs.
