Another historic Lula building gets face-lift
Old car garage could become retail or office spot

The train passes through Lula Friday afternoon as it does many times every day.
Downtown Lula is getting another makeover, thanks in large part to an Atlanta native who has become endeared by the northeast Hall County city’s past. Mark Lusink, who renovated a 19th-century, two-story building on Main Street last year, is fixing up an aging structure farther north up Main: the single-story brick Poole building, which sits next to Veterans Park off Athens Street. He is working to convert most of the building — a former car repair shop/garage dating possibly to the 1920s or 30s — into retail or business/office space, possibly a restaurant.
