Society is sponsoring a Christmas Tour of Homes on tomorrow. The event

The tour will begin at the

Six homes are on the tour and

J. W. Amoss home, Longino-Word home, and the Chapman-Williams home.
The Chapman-Williams Home,
81 East Broad Street, Fairburn, was built in 1897 by Edward B. Chapman.
A Confederate soldier, he used the same first floor plan as the Davenport-Jones
house, being built the same year.
Many of the bricks in the front
walkway were made on site and the granite used in the walkway is from
Stone Mountain.
There are five coal-burning
fireplaces, floors are heart of pine and the ceilings are over 14 feet
tall.
The current residents, Keith
and Jackie Williams, are very involved in the Southside Theatre Guild
and have won many awards for acting and for technical achievements.
