Photographer: Courtsey of the National Archives and Records Administration
Taken: Circa 1937
Caption: Confederate Soldiers Home
Additional Description: This photograph was taken in the late 1930's shortly after the grounds had been landscaped as part of a WPA beautification project. That the Federal Government would expend funds to enhance a final home for survivors of the "lost cause" who fought to leave this union must have been an irony for some of those who lived there.
