Charlie Joseph’s, 1946, LaGrange

Charlie Joseph Maloof was a Lebanese immigrant who got his start selling fruit from a cart in LaGrange in the late 1910s. By 1920, he and his wife opened their first Charlie Joseph’s restaurant on Main Street. This location, on Bull Street, opened in 1946 and has been the go-to place for hot dogs and hamburgers in downtown LaGrange ever since. The fifth generation of the family still owns and operates the business today.

P. Thornton Marye, one of the most prominent architects of early 20th century Georgia, designed this house for Cornelius Vanderbilt Truitt (1861-1942). In addition to residential commissions, Marye designed many commercial and institutional landmarks, most notably the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. The home was purchased by Lebanese immigrant Nasor Mansour (1897-1948), owner of the Mansour’s Department Store chain, in 1939.
