This location is also described in the TN Quilt Trail which tells us: "The 'Triple Irish Chain' Block design came from a quilt that Ms. Sallie Massengill-Bell has on display at her home. The quilt was made by her mother in the early 1900's when the 'Irish Chain' pattern was popular among quilters.
The block was painted as a class art project by the Mary Hughes Middle School, under the direction of Ms. Barbara Miller. Each student in the middle school had a hand in painting this work of public art."
