Robertson Estate Sale in Highland Park
Estate Sale Of:
Dr. & Mrs. Lee Roberson
Founder of Tennessee Temple University
Labor Day Weekend:
Friday August 31, 7:00-5:00p.m.
Saturday September 1, 8:00-5:00 p.m.
Monday September 3, 8:00-1:00p.m.
About the Sale: Dr. & Mrs. Roberson have never had a sale. Dr. Roberson died at the age of 97 and his estate consists of heirlooms and collectibles from each deacade. The sale is rich with history from the Chattanooga area, as well as local church history. This estate sale features some very interesting missionary gifts. The Robersons like many of their generation were pack rats who never threw anything away, as you will see from the contents of the sale. There are 13 of Dr. Robersons famous double breasted suits in the sale, along with many awards to both he and Mrs. Roberson. Volumes from Dr. Robersons personal library will also be sold. The sale is full of fine china and glassware. There is an abundance of mahogany and oak furniture, old toys and collectibles of all types. Dr. Roberson was one of the most influential men in our community and all items from his home will be special treasures to keep and remember him.
Directions: From Downtown Chattanooga, take Bailey Ave. toward Brainerd Rd, turn right onto S. Hawethorne, go two blocks to the old Highland Park Elementary School on the left. The estate sale will be held on the ground level of the building and parking will be adjacent to the building.

Save the Date! Oct. 27!
In order to allow for the construction of the new playground in Shaw Park, everything (and we mean everything!) has to be cleared out. Phaltless has agreed to come do all of it - break up the asphalt, remove the equipment, and haul it all off - for FREE ( a price we really like).
The only hitch is that tomorrow (Saturday, August 25th) is the day that they have time to do it.
We will put up signs to keep people out, but if you see anyone over there, please ask them to leave or call the police to do it.
Keep October 27 open for the build date!
