The Jonathan Edwards Center is now home to a pair of oil portraits of Jonathan Edwards and Sarah Pierpont Edwards. The portraits were donated on behalf of the Horace Porter Edmond Jr. family, by Anne Woodbridge Edmond of Roswell, Georgia. The paintings, which probably date from the latter half of the 19th century, have been in the Edmond family for generations. They now hang in the Edwards Center at Sterling Divinity Quadrangle.******
