Georgia city moves pre-Civil War house for hotel; $500,000 restoration turns it into coffee shop

A house that survived for more than a century is getting a new life not as a museum, but as a place for coffee and community. In Acworth, Georgia, the historic McCray House was moved from its original site to make way for a new hotel, rather than being demolished. The nearly $500,000 relocation and restoration effort has preserved the pre-Civil War structure, which is now being prepared as a new location for Bizarre Coffee. According to Bizarre Coffee's official Acworth page, the company's forthcoming shop will operate inside the historic McCray House at 4415 Cherokee Street, next to Logan Farm Park.
