This is one of the stylized marble eagles on the downtown post office and court house building. It's an Art Deco delight, built in 1934 during the Great Depression from Tennessee pink marble.

Don't forget to vote for the April theme! This month, we get to vote for two choices, thanks to Elaine. Please help spread the word too :)
