Seven paintings of historic Stockbridge are now in the hands of city leaders.
Atlanta-based Chick-fil-A has donated to the city of Stockbridge paintings from its Dwarf House location on Ga. 138, which was torn down earlier this year. The store is being replaced with a Truett's Chick-fil-A, an updated concept the company is rolling out across metro Atlanta.
"We are thankful for this special historical donation," Stockbridge Mayor Anthony Ford said of the paintings. "We continue to honor the rich legacy of this legendary city."
The artwork depicts historic Stockbridge sites from the past 100 years and comes as the city will celebrate its centennial in 2020.
State Rep. Demetrius Douglas (D-Stockbridge), who had a hand in the donation, said, “We wanted to ensure that Stockbridge possessed these important paintings; after all, it tells the story of the great city of Stockbridge.”
