Yes! And there was "Vestavia" seen from afar even on the crest of Shades Mountain! Gone too to the Moronites. I have photographs of my Ohio relatives visiting it with my parents in the 1920s. It was the home of a noted mayor. It was a model of the Roman Temple to Vesta in Rome itself. Round with columns all 'round.
