Smothered, covered and - maybe - historical.

That’s the application before DeKalb County, which is considering whether to make Waffle House #1 on East College Avenue a historic property. The county’s historical preservation committee will hold a public hearing on the nomination of the building, now a museum, at 7 p.m. Monday, April 20 at the Maloof Center in Decatur.

The building sits just outside the city of Avondale Estates, which tried unsuccessfully for the third time this year to annex that and other property along College Avenue. The owners of the private museum were among the few business owners in the corridor who supported joining the city.
