Baker Bag Company

Located at 8 Lagrange Street, Baker Bag Company is a boutique that sells unique sunglasses, apparel, and handbags in the historic downtown district in Newnan. Before 8 Lagrange Street housed Baker Bag Company, the building has had a long history of past tenants, showcasing its evolution over the years. The first documentation of the building at this location was in 1885, with a drug store being the first documented tenant of 8 Lagrange Street. In 1900, 8 Lagrange Street housed a general store, until a new building was built in 1906. The second rendition of the building had its first tenant in 1911, with the Elks Club Rooms owning the building, which leased one of the spaces to a farm supplies shop.

The building was rebuilt again before the 1940s, with Arthur Murphey Florist moving into 8 Lagrange Street in 1946. Arthur Murphey Florist ran their business out of this building for several decades before moving next door to 6 Lagrange Street, which is the other space in the same building. In the 1990s, Kids Kuts Inc. used the building, before the before housed David Taylor & Associates LLC Attorney at Law and David Taylor & Jim Strickland in the 2010s. This historical context provides a glimpse into the dynamic commercial activities that have been taken place at 8 Lagrange Street, highlighting its significance in Newnan’s downtown district.
