Mulberry Street United Methodist Church, a landmark in Macon and Georgia Methodism, has stood at the corner of First and Mulberry Street in downtown Macon since 1826. We have seen the Civil War, two world wars, the Great Depression, the Civil Rights Struggle and the pandemic of 1918 and 2020. We have faced many challenges over these two hundred years, , rising and falling and rising again in faithfulness. We are eager to celebrate our two hundredth birthday soon.
Hotel Forty Five is a 94-room historic boutique hotel in downtown Macon, GA and is located on a unique 45-degree angle that is the result of Cotton Street's diagonal trajectory through Macon, an urban design ahead of its time that made transportation of cotton barges to and from the river possible. Hotel Forty Five showcases two event venues; Loom, a signature chef-driven restaurant; Hightales Rooftop Bar, a sixth-floor lounge; and Reckon Coffee & Wine Bar. https://www.marriott.com/en-us/hotels/mcntx-hotel-forty-five-macon-a-tribute-portfolio-hotel/overview/
The Armory Ballroom. The prominent 19th century Victorian building is located in the heart of historic downtown Macon. Built in 1884 for Macon’s first military unit, the Macon Volunteers, the 3-story building now houses professional office space, retail space, and an auditorium (ballroom) with stage, balcony, and vaulted ceiling spanned by Howe trusses. The building exterior was completely restored. The interior renovation included the installation of an elevator, and all building systems were modernized within the fabric of the historic structure.
