that is being displayed in the front hall. Jim Carter has

double parlor. Freda Durrett of Durrett Studios in Atlanta
cleaned and stabilized a large, late-18th century landscape
on loan from Anita Sams Holton. Fred McLean of McLean’s
Refinishing has completed a beautiful restoration on a ca.
1830 late-Federal/early-Empire sideboard which was donated
by Sandy Hudson. Artist Charles Pinckney is currently resizing
