Funny how after having literally killed off all the buffaloes someone felt the need to name a regiment after them. Striking sculpture.

LOL @ Ciel! And now we're eating them!

Very nice memorial, Barb. We're not making fun of the memorial or the regiment...these were very brave and honorable people!

The Holland Mansion is named, I believe, after Holland Creek and was built for the first mayor of Phenix City. This house has been bought and sold a few times since I have lived in the area but I guess the previous owners bit off more than they could chew when it came to the type and expense of changes that would be needed.

She is glorious with the exception of some bad renovation ideas and the fact the one of the previous owners had pulled all eight of the fireplace mantels. I assume to help pay for renovations.

She is a 3500 sq. ft shotgun, with beautiful moldings, pocket doors, and high ceilings. I don't know if she has been purchased, but today no one lives here.
