Materials have been placed on the ground so that carpenters on Monday can begin the work of rebuilding the Flowe and Marsh buildings which were recently damaged by fire. The Piedmont theatre formerly occupied the first floor of the Flowe building and the Porter Drug Store occupied the Marsh building.
A new roof and new floors on the second floor are required for the Marsh building while the Flowe building will have to be rebuilt with the exception of the outside walls. New floors are needed on both the first and second floors and plans call for a practically new building.
Water flooded the Porter Drug Store during the rain Friday afternoon and night but the company’s stock of goods was not damaged as temporary roofs were erected on the inside of the store. The roofs cover the soda fountain, the wall cabinets and the prescription desk in the rear.
Work on the two buildings will get underway Monday and will be rushed. No announcement has been made yet as to what concern will occupy the Flowe building but the drug company will continue to occupy the Marsh building.
