Mammy's Cupboard
The figure Mammy was a character in the movie “Gone with the wind.”
This eatery was built in 1940 to use the popularity of the “mammy” figure. The “building” is built into the figure’s wide hoop skirt, which is topped with the dark-skinned torso of a maid holding a serving tray. The 28-foot tall brick structure was opened as a roadside restaurant to submit as a number of other “world’s largest” sculptures.
