Do you remember the Hotel Lanier? Author: Madilyn Harrell (13WMAZ) Updated: 4:56 PM EDT April 16, 2021
MACON, Ga. When it first opened on June 12, 1850, the Lanier House was a large Victorian building on Mulberry Street. It was a landmark in the city, known for its beautiful architecture, visitors, and good food.
It s no longer standing today, but a plaque across the street is a reminder of what used to be.
The grandparents of musician and poet Sidney Lanier also the namesake of Georgia s Lake Lanier were hotel keepers and opened it when Lanier was a young boy.
Retired history teacher James Barfield, who used to lead historic tours of Macon, says the building has a rich history.
One of Georgia’s most well known lakes has a murky history
Lake Lanier is a popular weekend destination suitable for fishing, boating, and sun-tanning, but its existence lends itself to a history of state-sanctioned theft. Despite many instances of accidental drownings, the lake remains a top vacation spot for locals.
Named after Sidney Lanier, a poet and Confederate army veteran, Lake Lanier resides in North Georgia between Gainesville and Buford.
Before its completion in 1956, beneath Lake Lanier were several small towns once occupied by farmers. One of the more well-known towns absorbed by the lake is Oscarville. Although portions of old Oscarville, Georgia, still live on the map, the original city survived through lore. Written and oral history did not give the other towns purchased by the state the same grace, and they remain unknown.

When COVID came to town and the lockdown began in earnest, Seck37 picked up his paints and went to work on a blank wall . perhaps for the last time.
“The wall was donated, and I wanted to paint something bright and beautiful for Gainesville,” he recalled. “It was a complete ghost town and the streets were empty. Cops were asking me what I was doing.
“I said I was painting a mural as a gift to the city just to keep everybody’s spirits up.”
That “gift” was “One Love Gainesville,” a bold yellow and green composition of hearts and palm fronds that is still on display at the corner of Main Street and Northeast 10th Avenue.
