East Points Centennial Quilt - A History Lesson in Needlework
Schedule:
Thursdays 1 - 4pm
Saturdays 11am - 3pm

In 1987, members of the East Point Womans Club stitched together
a quilt to commemorate East Points Centennial. Each of the 49
squares helps tell the story of East Points history. The quilt is on
display at the East Point Historical Society. This is the sixth in a se-
ries of East Point history lessons, as reflected in a sampling of the
quilts squares.

NELLIES CHAPEL
East Points first church was built in 1873 as a memorial to Nellie
Thompson, the seven year old daughter of Dr. J.D. Thompson, one of
East Points early founders. It served as the meeting place for many
other congregations until their church buildings could be
erected. The building originally faced Main Street but was later
moved to face East Point Street. Additions were made and repairs
made after a major fire and it is now known as East Point Avenue
United Methodist Church.

THE FAIRFAX
The Fairfax was one of three theaters in downtown East Point built
beginning in the 1920s and reflecting the popularity of film enter-
tainment. Gone With the Wind was released in 1939 in the hey-
day of the movie industry. The Fairfax (Main Street) and the East
Point Theater (Church Street) were demolished in the 1950s. The
Russell Theater (Jefferson Avenue and later renamed the East Point
Theater) operated in to the 1960s.

VICTORY PARK
Built in 1970, this park is dedicated to East Points service men and
women killed in war. The name comes from the USS East Point Vic-
tory, a cargo ship launched in 1945, honoring East Points success
in World War II loan drives and Red Cross activity. The ship was de-
commissioned in 1969. Plaques removed from the ship were
placed in the park along with a 1919 Howitzer machine gun and trib-
utes to the war dead.
