3816 East Main St (Commercial Building), College Park, Fulton County, GA
Bits & Pieces Antiques at 3816 East Main Street is one of a group of five buildings in College Park which contains three of the city`s oldest commercial structures. This building shares common walls with two of those older structures, and is something of a curiosity. Otherwise, it has little or no significance. The rear wall appears to be original brick; the two side walls are the exterior walls of the adjoining buildings, unfinished on the inside. The facade appears to be of a later vintage than the rear wall, and may have been built in the 1940s when the building shows a period of vacancy. The first known tenant was a real estate broker who occupied the building from 1918 (probably earlier) until the mid 1930s. The first known tenant after the period of vacancy was a furniture repair shop, which used the building in the 1950s then moved around the corner on John Wesley to a new structure there. Attached as it is to the two buildings next to it, this is not even a complete building. What is there does not appear on the 1911 Sanborn map but does appear on the 1928 USGS topographic map for the Atlanta area.
