Harvey's moved to building in late 1990's from former Wal-mart shopping center. (WM Supercenter opened in mid 1990's)

Shopping center was remodeled recently.

The pylon and the design of the entryway, as well as the streetside location (for walkers & bus users if Cordele had buses) would seem to make the 16th Ave store an early 50s location.
