Athens, Georgia - Nuwaubian Temple-Bookstore

I traveled past the Nuwaubian Temple-Bookstore a number of times this past weekend. It is still Nuwaubian, still interesting, but no longer a bookstore nor, as far as I can tell, a temple: it's closed. It is impressive, though, and looks well maintained. [bryant, 03/18/2008]

Athens, Georgia - Nuwaubian Temple-Bookstore

While the Nuwaubian Pyramid and compound in Putnam County, GA, is fairly well-known, the Nuwaubians also had a significant presence in Clarke County (which is in fact where their founder was arrested and charged with child molestation -- and where there was a recent investigation into the large number of Nuwaubians employed by the county jail). While founder Malachi York's bookstore "Eyes on Egypt" is no longer in existence, a larger bookstore/meeting hall remains on Broad Street in Downtown Athens.

The future of the building is uncertain, so visit it while you can! [Katherine, 11/22/2007]
