Very nice! We used to live in Vestavia, and I remember when they moved the temple by Hwy 31.

What's with the fascination of that era for Greco-Roman architecture? You're as likely to find a Corinthian column in a contemporary building as a flying buttress. Maybe it has something to do with the huge advances in engineering and building materials. Just don't need those columns any more.

They tore the mansion down? What a shame!
