Visible from the Eisenhower Expressway in Maywood. An eccentric mason has added on to a brick salt box with these wonderful follies and inventions. The tower is amazing with champfers on the clerestory and incredible windows.

Pearl Fryar Topiary

Last spring I visited a wonderful place outside of Columbia, South Carolina. Pearl Fryar has really reintrpreted a vernacular and used his work to unite his community. The day that we visited was rainy and foggy which just added to the beauty of this place.
UPDATE: SEE THE FILM - "A MAN NAMED PEARL"

The words "peace" and "love" are carved into the grass.
