Feedback: Scrollwork in basket are french curves

About: Scenic Adair County: 666? No, thinks Old Coddger

To the editor, ColumbiaMagazine.com

I just love all of Old Coddger's pictures. Well: the sign of the beast issue: This iron work design is not at all three sixes.

In classical architectural design these curly Qs in question are classified as french curves. In iron work this is a simple task, but for stone masonry a little more difficult rendering to accomplish.



By the way who did build the Adair County Courthouse? and is the cornerstone marked?

Blessings to all!

Thanks for the comment. Old Coddger is an extraordinary photographer, isn't he? We're not afraid he'll get the big head, but we're trying to keep his work under the National Geographic Magazine radar. His stuff is a hair ahead of theirs. As for the architects of the most beautiful public building in America, the Adair County Courthouse, they, McDonald Brothers & William Henry Hudson, are listed at the National Register of Historic Places: Click Here. Perhaps a reader can answer your question on the cornerstone. -CM
