Confederate Icons

The mansion is Belmead, the circular staircase from the first to the second floor. Overlaid is the Confederate Pyramid in Richmond's Hollywood Cemetery that was erected in 1869 as a memorial to the confederate dead buried in the cemetery...about 18,000. It was also erected to honor "The Lost Cause." Sadly, this lost cause lives on.
