The Piedmont Furniture Co. was located on the southeast corner of Holland and Morgan (at 219-223 Morgan St.) The businesses in the 200 block of Morgan St. directly faced the Big 4 warehouse and the Star Brick warehouse; many of the businesses in the early 20th century were geared towards farmers who had come to town to sell tobacco.
