UPDATE Historic Conyers Street Gym temporarily closes Sandra Brands Ground was broken to build the Conyers Street Gymnasium in Covington in the 1930s, and more than 80 years later, the doors have closed — but not forever. A recent inspection of the property revealed there was some mold, said Tammie Lovering, City of Covington’s Safety/Risk Manager. “We locked it down because we didn’t want to have any problems.”
