Corner view of the Hotel Peabody in Memphis, a brick and stone hotel with a white two-story commercial base, a rooftop sign reading "HOTEL PEABODY," and American flags on the roof. Automobiles of the mid-1930s line the street below. The Peabody opened in 1925 as one of the South's grand hotels, known for its Italian Renaissance lobby and the mallard ducks that march through the lobby daily. The building closed in 1975 and reopened in 1981 after restoration.
