or only $2 million, you could own a rock-solid piece of Newnan’s recent history. The old Wells Fargo Building, formerly the First National Bank, is now on the market. Located one block south of the court square at 30 Greenville St., and next door to Chiropractor Dr. Elliott, the building is listed by Robert Hinely and Tom Barron with Lindsey’s, Inc., Realtors. While interest in the property is at a fever pitch, Barron and Hinely are just beginning to piece together the bank’s rich history. “At one point, this was the largest bank in Coweta County,” said Barron, whose grandfather and uncle sat on the board for First National Bank and First Railroad Bank, respectively. Initially Manufacturer’s Bank, the building eventually became home to First National Bank, then First Railroad Bank before housing a series of large corporate banking chains. First Union was the first centralized retail bank to occupy the space after purchasing First Railroad Bank, laying off nearly 30 employees in the process and prompting the bank’s advisory board, including Barron’s uncle,

Jones named City of South Fulton fire chief NTH STAFF REPORTS news@newnan.com
T
he City of South Fulton has named Chad Jones, a fire service veteran of more than 25 years, the city’s new fire chief. Currently deputy chief in charge of daily operations for the Coweta County Fire Department, Jones started his public safety career in 1995 as an emergency medical technician. He retired from the City of Atlanta Fire Department last year as the deputy chief of support services. Jones said he was extremely humbled and honored to be selected as the new fire chief. “Our Coweta team is strong with good systems and programs in place,” Jones said. “I have all the confidence in their leadership and moving our department forward. As with any move, it’s always a joyful but sad occasion, but I’ve made some great contacts and met a lot of good people. I’m thankful for all Coweta has done for me in this last year and look forward to building and growing with the City of South Fulton."
Jones, who becomes chief March 1, serves as the chair and co-chair of committees with the Southeastern Association of Fire Chiefs. In 2018, he was elected to the Georgia Fire Chiefs Association as third vice president. He is a member of the Metro Atlanta Fire Chiefs Association, the International Association of Fire Chiefs and the National Fallen Firefighter Foundation. “With his quarter of a century of experience in fire operations and support services, Chief Jones will provide a deep perspective as we enhance our fire safety processes, especially in the adoption of new methods and technology,” City Manager Tammi Saddler Jones said. “As I have mentioned his name to colleagues across the state, the response has been overwhelmingly positive. The consensus is that – with his knowledge, skill and leadership – Chief Jones is one of Georgia’s top fire officials and a great fit as we continue to provide world-class service to City of South Fulton residents.” A life-long learner, Jones completed the Fire

HISTORIC BANK FROM PAGE 1
While the property has a working elevator adjacent to both entrances, one needs to take the rear staircase to truly appreciate what makes this property unique: Exposed concrete and rebar ceilings and floors showcase the solid mid-century craftsmanship of the building. Upstairs, the drop ceilings have been removed in two rooms, unveiling loftier concrete with exposed ductwork ready for the new owner’s imagination. The majority of the second floor is as open as the first, but has been subdivided into fourteen cubicles. Though the cubicles are included along with the rest of the building’s furniture, like the teller stations, they can be easily refigured or removed. Also upstairs, there are two private offices, two large, unfinished spaces, and a second kitchen space. However, the real star of the show is the massive conference room and its own reception area.
MarkeTplace With a massive picture window boasting a view of the building’s mid-century concrete breezeblock design, the opulent, wood-paneled conference room contains yet another executive washroom and large storage closet. At 18,180 square feet, the property can comfortably accommodate roughly 75 employees, but could easily be reconfigured for subdivision between smaller tenants, meaning the only limit to the space’s purpose is the imagination. Barron explains, “You have so many possibilities here. To me, the first obvious choice is office space.” “It can be easily configured to suit multiple tenants by simply putting up or taking down a wall. There are a variety of ways to split the building. You have multiple entrances, you have two floors; there are a number of opportunities to recreate the building the way you want it,” he continued. Barron sees potential in the building as a collaborative office space project. He said a similar space nearby managed by Hinely stays pretty full and currently has a waiting list. “You have a lot of people who simply don’t have the room for a home office, or their chil-
dren are home, or they just need somewhere to run their business. It’s great if you can work from home and be just as productive, but I can’t. I catch myself thinking about things I need to do around the house,” said Barron. Barron noted they have shown the property to a variety of people with a range of potential plans. “We’ve had a lot of interest, and two offers so far. It’s more than I anticipated for this caliber and size of building. Most people are intrigued by the building, and impressed with how well it’s built,” he said.
Walking through this mid-century masterpiece is guaranteed to fire up your imagination for myriad possibilities in a booming small town. “Obviously, you don’t find buildings that are built like this very often, especially in this area. This goes beyond good bones,” said Barron. Call Robert Hinely at 678-877-5874 or Tom Barron at 404-936-7422 to book a personal showing. A virtual tour and drone video are available online at https://listing.advantagehometours.com/ut/30_Greenville_Street.html.

luto is a year-old Mastiff mix at the Coweta County Animal Services shelter. Pluto was found as a stray on Fluellen Road, off Smokey Road, in September. Pluto is a very playful dog who still has some puppy tendencies, said shelter workers. He has a lot of energy and likes to jump, but once he calms down he is a cuddler. Pluto is good with other dogs.
