Inscription. The neighborhood just south and southwest of this wall contains several of the first generation (1897-1910) houses and several second generation (1915-1930) houses built by early town mayors and business owners. The Kurscheedt Manufacturing Company on Tell Street made fine Hamburg lace and patches for WWI Army Uniforms.

This wall was made possible with a donation from Baker Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz, P.C and was a project of the Three Star Program. The Armstrong family of Maury County, IN donated the bricks which are from an early 1800's smokehouse on a Polk family plantation later known as Cherry Glen. Family member James K. Polk was the 11th US President.
