Cornish Organ – This piece was made by the Cornish Company in Washington, New Jersey, and was used at Olney Primitive Baptist Church in Oak Park, Georgia, in the mid-1920s.  Charles and Doris Stone donated it in May 2000 in honor of her father, S. M. Findley.

 

Winn Sofa – Donated in 1984 by Alice Winn Peeples Strickland, great-great-granddaughter of Elisha Winn and Judith Cochran; great-granddaughter of Richard Dickson Winn and Charlott Mitchell; granddaughter of Tyler Macon Peeples and Alice Winn Peeples.  The sofa was inherited from her mother, Sue Burton Wellington Graham Peeples, the widow of Richard Winn Peeples.  Richard Win Peeples practiced law in Lawrenceville and was mayor in the 1890s.  He was the first Historian of Gwinnett County.

 

The sofa was recovered in a cordovan colored fabric in 2003 through the generosity of Stephen P. Strickland, the son of Alice Winn Peeples Strickland.  He remembers the sofa in the living room of their home in Alabama from early childhood.
