"The Lettuce Shed" in Woodbine, GAIt's

It's in the process of being taken down.
A little history about it:
The wood-framed warehouse known as the “lettuce packing house or shed” was built in the 1940’s by the H. S. Brenner family. Lettuce was brought into town from nearby lettuce farms. The standard heads of lettuce were packed, loaded on railroad cars and shipped to towns along the East Coast. The culls came off the conveyor belt onto a large pile on the south end of the building where it was free to everyone.
