Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill recognized a local mystery: “This is the Spruill Gallery on Ashford Dunwoody Road in Atlanta. The Spruill’s original house was built in 1867 and was the center of a working farm. When Stephen T. Spruill married Mollie Lee Carter in 1889, the house was presented to them as a wedding gift from Stephen’s parents, Thomas F. and Naomi “Omie” Martin Spruill.
“In 1905, Stephen tore down the original log house and rebuilt it as the house it is known as today. The Spruill’s house and five surrounding acres were donated to the Spruill Center for the Arts to serve as a place to foster creative expression through the arts. It is now known as the Spruill Gallery.” The photo came from Rick Krause of Lilburn.
