Cheekwood Botanical Garden, Friday 3-2-18, 1-2:30 pm. 56 degrees and sunny.

This is the “Ruins” section – there are fragments of the original columns from the Tennessee Capital building, which was finished in 1854. The limestone columns didn’t endure the weather and started to decay. They were salvaged and brought here, to create a sort of small amphitheater.
