Location #25 - Ellington’s Dream
This granite etching renders Douglas Ellington’s original working concept of two art deco buildings of government, sitting side-by-side. Only one followed plan ~ the intricately layered City Building, controversial at the time, a fond blessing today. Feather ornamentation throughout the structure honors the history of the Cherokee Indians in these mountains.
