A large concrete building on the corner of Sullivan and W. Marion housed many stores over the years. Built by Jesse Sandlin and Dr. Newman. Dr. Newman's dentist's office was there and Josh Mizell had a real estate office with Sandlin. W.H. Johnson later owned it and had his real estate office there, hence the name The Johnson Building. J.T. Griggs had a grocery store on the west side of the building and on the corner was Jones Brothers Meat Market. J.K. McClelland had his Sundry Store and Ice Cream Parlor there for a time. Charlotte County housed its offices from 1921 until the Court House was built. After Jones Brothers and the county offices moved out, Elmer Oswald had a men's store there for years.
