Historic Mayes Theatre demolished
Unstable buildings were a public hazard

Declared an eyesore by many and a tragic loss by some, four of the ten adjoining brick store buildings in Maysville's downtown historic business district were torn down earlier this year in April.

Brad Morris, local attorney and owner of the properties, failed to maintain the buildings which had been in a state of disrepair and collapse for a number of years.

The historic buildings, dating back to circa 1903, once housed Carr, Boyd & Company, one of the largest mercantile operations between Athens and Gainesville at the time.  Other businesses occupying the stores over the years included the Mayes Theatre, where Marty Robbins once performed, as well as Telford's Store.
