Home of George Ward, a former mayor of Birmingham.  Home and grounds, built in 1924, was patterned after Italy's Temple of Vesta.  Vestavia Babtist Church obtained the property after Ward's death and demolished the home to make way for a new church.  
The aerial view was pubished by Faulkner Novelty.  The linen texture card at bottom picturing the gardens was printed by E.C. Kropp
