Massie Store

Old Massie Store used by Beckett Brothers

Charles Baxter Photos

The old Massie Hotel served as the Beckett home for many years. Roy Beckett owned and operated the Gulf Service Station nearby and Bob Beckett sold appliances from what used to be the Massie Store attached to the former hotel. These photographs show the demolition of the store. Demolitions of the Hotel and subsequently the Gulf station are illustrated under their respective titles.

Shown here alongside the Athens Baptist Church on State Street during its early years, the Massie Store was attached to the Massie Hotel that was used in our years as a residence by the Roy Beckett family. Brother Bob Beckett operated a Maytag sales and service business from the old Massie Store.
