Porch/Book Sale Fundraiser at Historic Wright Hotel

The Wright Hotel, located at the corner of Market Street and Second Avenue in downtown Chatsworth, is one of our area’s most unique pieces of history. Owned by the Whitfield-Murray Historical Society for the last four decades, the hotel is twice listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1909 by Tom and Laura Holbrook Wright using locally produced bricks and lumber, the three-story structure was operated as a hotel for almost sixty years.

One of the Wright’s daughters, Katherine Raine, left the hotel and its collection of furnishings and artifacts to the Historical Society, charging the group with maintaining the structure as nearly as possible as it was during her and her mother’s lifetimes. Naturally, money is always needed to meet her request and preserve this one-of-a-kind building so closely connected to Chatsworth’s earliest days as a railroad town.

The main fundraiser for the hotel has been a twice-a-year Porch and Book Sale which features a large variety of collectibles, glassware, tools, decorative items, artwork, furniture, household items and used books at great prices. The Fall Sale will be on Friday and Saturday, October 23 & 24 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. both days. All items are donated for the cause and all proceeds from the sale will go toward repairs and maintenance of the building. Everything will be priced to sell.

All are welcome to shop during the sale event or send a donation to the Whitfield-Murray Historical Society, Wright Hotel Committee, c/o Melissa Burchfield, Treasurer, 59 Coffey Church Rd. Crandall, GA 30711. Check out the Wright Hotel Facebook page for more information.
