MYSTERY: Figure out where this building is located

Here’s a building in a major city. Tell us where this building is located, and what happens in this building. Send your idea to elliott@brack.net, and include the town where you live.

The most recent Mystery Photo is this building, the Hog Mountain “Courthouse,” where for years people voted. Today people no longer vote here, but vote in four different locations of the precinct now.  Hog Mountain Precinct A is at Rock Springs United Methodist Church; Precinct B is at Prospect United Methodist Church; Precinct C is at North Metro Baptist Church; and Precinct D is at Woodward Mill Elementary School. 

Recognizing this building as a former voting precinct was Richard Lux of Trickum, who said: “This is the former Hog Mountain district courthouse. It was one of the smallest voting precincts in Gwinnett County. They were still voting there in the 1980s.”  Bill Baughman of Snellville also recognized it as a voting place. Most, if not all, similar buildings in the less populated precincts have since been torn down.”

The photo came from Raleigh Perry of Buford, who said: “The accoutrements in the building were a wood fed pot-bellied stove, what we called an Army Stove, and a bench outside (seen under the window on the left.”
