When a $200,000 church and a $32,000 parochial school are completed on the property, the Palace will become a Catholic teachers...
Savannah's tall, handsome Bishop O'Hara, a comparative stranger to Atlanta, professes to have known nothing of the antecedents of his palace until the sale was completed. Through similar ignorance his name has been confused lately with that of Gerald O'Hara. the hard-drinking Irish father of Heroine Scarlett O'Hara, in Novelist Margaret Mitchell's panoramic Atlanta novel.
