This historical structure, which has alternated between residential and commercial uses, will soon embark on a journey to Monroe. While Main Street will stay open during the move, residents can expect to see this piece of their townโ€™s history embark on its new journey.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ In Context: Built in 1895, this structure holds historical value for Lilburn. Itโ€™s been a landmark on Main Street for over a century, witnessing the townโ€™s evolution.

๐Ÿ”จ Whatโ€™s Next?: Once moved to Monroe, the structure will undergo restoration to its original state, becoming a โ€œforever home.โ€ Meanwhile, Lilburn residents can look forward to the construction of a new restaurant, adding to the townโ€™s commercial landscape.
