At one of the main intersections in Montrose, Ga., sits this abandoned brick shell of a building that is across the street from the Montrose Baptist Church along U.S. Highway 80.
The building had few clues as to its past use, but it may have been part of an agricultural business, such as a farm supply store.
Montrose, located in rural Laurens County in central Georgia, is home to 154 people and a relatively low poverty rate of 11.2 percent, although 30 percent of its children live in poverty. Some 23.6 percent of residents of Laurens County (population 48,434) live in poverty, according to Census data
