Long Description:The granite and marble home pictured on your website is the home of
Rudy and Ruth McLaughlin. The approx. 6,600 sq. ft. structure is
located at the corner of Georgia Highway 140, officially called
Arnold Mill Road (a.k.a. Hickory Flats Highway to residents of 30+
years), and Cox Road in Alpharetta (north Fulton County), Georgia.
Construction began in 1969 and was completed (for the most part),
in 1977, according to Mr. McLaughlin who completed this "labor of
love" primarily by himself, but some help from friends and
relatives. The structure was completed using granite mined from
quarries near both Stone Mountain & Elberton, Georgia. The pink
& white marble used in the construction of the home was mined
at the Georgia Marble Quarry in Tate, Georgia (a nearby community
to Ball Ground, GA).

Local ledgend states when Rudy asked Ruth to marry him, she
replied that she would, but only if he treated her like a queen.
So, he built her a castle. :)
