Ole Pine Apple, AL Circa 1956 Print – Artwork by Mike Melton
Capture a piece of Pine Apple’s past with this nostalgic 11" x 14" print from local artist Mike Melton. Each print comes mounted in a classic 3.25" white mat, ready for display or framing. Choose the option that fits your space best: framed or print-only.
Drawn entirely from memory, Mike’s hand-rendered illustration faithfully recreates downtown Pine Apple as it appeared in 1956. His detailed artwork preserves the spirit of four beloved landmarks that no longer stand—Melton Grocery (once owned by his father), the barber shop, the drug store with the dentist’s office above, and the Masonic Lodge, which housed various businesses throughout the years.
Whether you remember these buildings firsthand or simply appreciate the charm of small-town Southern heritage, this piece offers a meaningful way to honor Pine Apple’s history. The framed print measures 21" H x 25" W, making it a stunning statement piece for any home or office.
A portion of every purchase proudly supports the Moore Academy Alumni Association and their ongoing work to preserve the historic Moore Academy.
