Tim Sullivan of Mulberry was among those pinpointing the recent Mystery Photo. He wrote: “It is Moore Chapel, built in 1906, currently in Legacy Park, Decatur— formerly the site of the United Methodist Children’s Home. It was originally part of an orphanage campus, now used for weddings, events, and community gatherings. The chapel seats approximately 80 guests.
“The property dates back to 1873, when trustees of an orphanage in Norcross relocated to Decatur. It was constructed as part of the Decatur Orphans’ Home, which later became the Methodist Children’s Home in 1934. In 2017, the City of Decatur purchased 77 acres of the property, preserving Moore Chapel and other historic buildings as part of Legacy Park, a community-focused green space.” The photo came from Rachel Baumann of Lilburn.
Also recognizing it were Molly Titus, Peachtree Corners; Lori Medlock Anderson, Suwanee; Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; Tayna Moore, Norcross; Stewart Ogilvie, Rehobeth, Ala.; George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Cindi Hall, Canton, formerly of Snellville; and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas, who added: “To pay for the property’s upkeep, the City of Decatur generates revenues at Legacy Park by holding community festivals and concerts. It also promotes the park, with its 34 historic buildings, elaborate gardens, meadows, a lake, trails, barns, and a stone chapel, as an ideal location for film production that requires rural, small-town settings for both period pieces and modern shoots. Die Hart fans who visit Legacy Park may recognize some of the scenes from the 2024 American action comedy film starring Kevin Hart, Die Hart 2: Die Harter.”
