This side of the courthouse square offered several mercantile businesses where shoppers could buy groceries, pharmacy/drugs, clothing, fabric, and other items. Above the storefronts were professional offices for doctors, dentists, and attorneys. Today, you will see a mix of businesses, including the Hart Regional Arts Council and formerly Bailes-Cobb which is soon to be Empire South, a third-generation family-owned store established in 1929. Additionally, Southern Hart Brewing Company just opened a microbrewery and is a great place to stop in for some food and a beer.
