Source-derived summary

The Citizens Banking Company, at 112-116 N. Main St. in Baxley in Appling County, Georgia, was built in 1911. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

Its first floor includes a section which was originally a bank, with an oblique corner entrance, and also separate commercial space. The original bank was closed and sold at auction in 1917; two other banks subsequently used the bank space.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “baxley, Georgia, listed on the NRHP in Georgia” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q38251957. Authority coordinates are 31.777, -82.349. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1911, 1985 and 1917.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
