Barnes Place Renovations

Cineplex in Renovation

Barnes Place was built in 1927 for $5,000. Barnes Place was the home of the Pierce family for many years. When Momma Pierce passed away, her children, Charles, Blanche, Wayne and Walter put the house up for sale in February 1996. It sat empty until we purchased it in September. While most of the house had not changed since it was constructed, it was not time for some long-overdue updates.
