Older buildings downtown
Cartersville's downtown has real history: the Bartow History Museum is housed in the circa-1870 Old Cartersville Courthouse, and the world's first outdoor Coca-Cola sign, painted in 1894, is on a downtown wall. Older buildings can have plaster, older plumbing and wiring that behave differently when wet, so ask the contractor to check behind surfaces rather than judge by appearance, and to confirm which permits repairs need.
