Palmersville, TN ( circa 1925)

Seen are the only remaining building left in operation after the destructive fire that destroyed most of Palmersville in 1923.

The concrete building was a General Merchandise store operated by Charlie Pentecost and Joe B. McWherter. The two story building was operated by Dr. R.M. Biggs, his merchandise included groceries, dry goods and a pharmacy. Later the post office was moved into this building.

In 1937 these two building we also destroyed by fire and the town Palmersville was then moved to it’s present day location.
