I agree, they knew how to build stuff back then. Buildings today don't seem to have the craftsmanship they once had.

Ohhh dear....the scale....have absolutely no idea HOW big they are
- it is impossible to understand.
Could a man walk under the pipes?

All clever!
thanks Mr. M.

It looks real fine! To be in use right away-----

Kudzu does NOTHING slowly, LOL! One can almost WATCH that stuff grow! It will envelope telephone poles, large trees, entire hillsides! A realtor told me when we were house-hunting in the Chattanooga area that it was originally imported as a food source by Chinese immigrants.

This is a beauty....the untapped potential is astounding....I can definitely seen parties, weddings, and other social events being held here. I pray this is also included in the renovations.

Thanks to Motts, I learned a new word today — "crenelated." I always enjoy when I get some education with my entertainment.

I have no idea, it was so murky I couldn't tell!

Yup, it's fastened to the brickwork.

The pergola and the surrounding gardens were used to entertain visitors, host private parties, and be used as a background for weddings, which is what really made Old Taylor quite different from your typical distillery plant.

I haven't come across any information stating so, but I would imagine so, at least in the early years of the plant. It could also be solely for controlling the water level in the reflecting pool under the pergola...

Such an enchanting place! Nice little gallery Motts, thanks! On to the next...

Oh yeah, I can just imagine the quietness and coolness and probably a damp, musty smell here. Still nice to hang out and chat for awhile or sit quietly and relax. I would have loved this!

Ah, Iceberg, you beat me to that question, lol. So what say you Sir Motts, lol

Yeah I was thinking the same thing about how odd a space this is
