On Wednesday, January 15, 2014 at noon, Ron Goss, owner of Pennant Construction Management, will discuss the preservation of the 1876 Conyers-Goss home, affectionately referred to as “White Columns.”
Constructed in 1876 by James B. Conyers, 91 Market Street (now 120 W. Cherokee Avenue) was an ornately decorated Victorian home situated a block from Cartersville’s developing square. With the influence of the newly built Gold Dome Courthouse in 1903, the home underwent a radical facelift that transformed it into “White Columns”. After sitting vacant for nearly a quarter of a century, the home has been completely restored by Pennant Construction Management as both an office for the company and the private residence of its owners Ron & Lorie Goss.
This Lunch and Learn will take place at the Bartow History Museum located at 4 E. Church Street in downtown Cartersville. Parking is available next to the building. The lecture is free to members and included with the price of admission for not-yet members. Guests are invited to bring a lunch beginning at 11:45 a.m., and the program will begin at noon.
