Chaffin Carousel Carving School

The Chaffin Carousel Carving School is a woodcarving school founded by Ira Chaffin where students can learn to carve carousel animals. Founded in 2009, the school was originally located in the Terrace Court building at 20th Street South and Highland Avenue in Five Points South, above Dave's Pub. A year later it moved to the Hassinger Daniels Mansion Bed and Breakfast which Chaffin and his wife renovated as a bed and breakfast.
