The old gas station on Grant Street in Clarkesville next to the Copper Pot has been demolished.
Friday, Nov. 19, the property owner had the building torn down. Located at 159 Grant Street, the building has sat vacant for years. Now, the lot where it used to be is empty.
The 1,162 square foot structure sold back in March for $268,500, according to the online real estate marketplace company Zillow.
According to Clarkesville Zoning Administrator Caleb Gaines, the property owner, Marcus Stonecipher, had the 1961 structure demolished.
Now Habersham has reached out to Stonecipher about his plans for the property but he has not responded to our request for comment.
“The owner hasn’t submitted any official plans yet, but the lot will be cleaned up and that corner will look a whole lot better,” Gaines says.
