Crawford Corner
2 N. White St.
This was the site of the home and store of County Court member, John Crawford (1797-1862). It is said that Crawford's building was the oldest brick corner in Athens.
In 1907, G.F. Lockmiller and other businessmen purchased the lot and constructed this building for the newly organized Athens Bank and Trust. The name later changed to Citizens National Bank which operated here until closing this branch in 1986.
Erected by Main Street Athens Project.
