Regarding Hardeman Building. Excerpt from History of Macon: The First 100 Years, written by various authors as a supplement to The Macon News in 1923 and reprinted in 2007:
in 1850 George Payne, the druggist on the corner of Mulberry street and Cotton avenue, Mix & Kirkland, shoe dealers, and J.A. and S. S. Virgin, music dealers, erected a three-story building, the third story of which was known as Concert Hall. This building, with a remodeled front, and now known as the Hardeman Building, is still standing.
