The last mystery we thought would be solved by many, but it was not so. Perhaps it fell victim to the holidays. First in was Jay Altman of Columbia, S.C., who figured out it was the chapel at Simpsonwood Park in Peachtree Corners. The photograph was taken by George Graf of Palmyra, Va.
Others who got this mystery correct included Cindy Evans, Duluth; Howard Jetmundsen and Tamara Betteridge, Peachtree Corners; Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill; and Allan Peel of San Antonio. He wrote: “Simpsonwood Park is named after its donor, Anna Louise ‘Ludie’ Simpson (1887 — 1975), of Norcross, who bequeathed the 227-acres of pristine land with frontage on the Chattahoochee River to the Methodist church in 1973 with the understanding that it would not be subdivided or developed. Based on an agreement made to Simpson prior to her death, the UMC built the 100-seat chapel in 1985, and named it after, and in honor of, her mother, Elizabeth Jane Sanders Simpson (1851 — 1931). The property was purchased by Gwinnett County and the City of Peachtree Corners in 2016 to maintain it as a nature preserve with minimal improvements.”
