Broad Street Historic District (Augusta, Georgia)

At the intersection with 6th Street, the chamber of commerce building can be found in the median.

The Haunted Pillar was a landmark left standing near the remains of a farmer's market that once stood at 5th and Broad Streets in downtown Augusta, Georgia.

The New York City-based firm AuLockhart International, Inc. was hired and given a budget of $37,500 to $50,000 to create and publish an advertising campaign aimed at attracting tourists.

[citation needed] The market was located directly in the middle of Broad Street, and once it was removed Augustans were reluctant to build there again.

It was, at best, an unsightly edifice and marred the grand boulevard upon which it was mistakenly located," said an article in The Augusta Chronicle a week after the market was destroyed.
