1. College Park Furniture Co. Marker
For over 100 years this building was the home of the College Park Furniture Company. Through three generations of the Evans family this entrepreneurial business withstood two world wars, the Great Depression and bad economies to service the citizens of College Park and the tri-city area south of Atlanta. College Park Furniture Company serves as an example to all present and future entrepreneurs that if you serve your customer well your business can withstand the test of time. The Evans Family were interested in seeing the building serve a useful purpose for the citizens of College Park so they agreed to sell the building to Club Entrepreneur to allow future small business entrepreneurs to have a home to cultivate their passion, purpose and vision.
