Chris Billingsley sends in this great photo from DHS’ 1956 yearbook looking down Clairemont Ave near the intersection with Ponce de Leon.  He notes…

Someone turned in a 1956 Decatur High yearbook recently. I really liked this view of Clairemont at Ponce. The Colonial Store is gone (I think it opened as a Pigley Wigley in the 1920s), replaced by an office building in the 1990s(?). Next to Colonial Store, separated by a small parking lot, is the Miss Georgia ice creme store. What a great place to spend a nickel on a delicious ice creme cone in the early 1960s. Both gone now but the Ga Power and Miller’s Bookstore buildings are still there. Nice awnings, don’t you think?

Thanks to Ms. Laura Nolan, DHS master librarian (and along with Ms. Susan Riley, mom to all DHS students) who scanned the photos.
