This thoughtful transformation also blends historic charm with contemporary amenities, continuing the legacy of 124 Court Street as a cornerstone of the community.”The property was first home to Bay Motors, which opened on July 22, 1947. It was a Ford dealership owned by Robert Camor, Walter Gex and Fritz Peranich. The dealership operated until the 1960s.Then it became home to the Sea Coast Echo, Hancock County’s hometown newspaper since 1892.“It’s presence at this location cemented 124 Court Street as a hub of communication and civic life, making it more than just a building,” Raymond said. “It became a part of the community’s story.”As part of the festivities on Thursday, Raymond and the 124 Court owners presented Echo publisher Geoff Belcher with a vintage Sea Coast Echo sign that adorned the property in the 1960s.Raymond also thanked several local photographers, including Karen Riley, Michele Rumple, Marian Glaser, Melanie Howard, Sierra Destiny, Nicole Fairconnetue, Lisa Loth, Raylee Wayland, Victoria Haberman, Cherish Ann Martinez-Bellocp, John Wilkerson, Ryan Ray and Monique Sullivan, whose works will be on display in the public areas of the property.For more information, call 228-466-6643 or go to www.hlraymondproperties.com.</div></body>
