Stonewall Court in Smyrna was a small roadside motel operation that offered travelers not only a place to sleep and enjoy a meal, but also a chance to peruse some museum-quality historical artifacts as well.  The operation suffered a major fire in June 1946, as reported on the Smyrna Historical & Genealogical Society's website: "Stonewall Court dining room, noted for its fried chicken and fine museum collection, burned to the ground Monday afternoon. Antique weapons, firearms of 1860 vintage, Confederate uniforms and flags, and other relics were destroyed. Edgar Anderson, owner, placed the loss at $100,000. The building and its equipment represent a $35,00 loss."  The second postcard seen below seems to show some of the historical items on display in the dining room.

While I don't know exactly where this place stood, the text on the front of the cards makes clear that it was on US 41, 12 miles north of Atlanta and 7 miles south of Marietta, so that gives you a pretty good idea of approximately where it could be found.
