About this postcard

The card labels this view of Lynchburg's Memorial Fountain, terrace, and Court House, with a tiered fountain and stairway rising through a grassy slope toward a domed classical building. The scene is part of Lynchburg's Monument Terrace, the civic memorial stairway that connects Church and Court streets and culminates at the old courthouse. The fountain and terraced walk were built as a memorial landscape in the early 20th century.
