The battle over the fate of a historic building in downtown Dahlonega will have to wait another day, thanks to wintry weather that blew through town Wednesday. City Council was set to consider overturning a Historic Preservation Committee vote that denied Roberta Green Garrett’s request to demolish the Jeremiah Payne House, also known as the Parks Clothing building. A mix of snow and ice put off a special called meeting to hear the appeal from Garrett’s lawyer, Joseph Homans.
