Immortal Image
The plaque at Station #5 draws attention to the Victorian frieze work along the front of the Drhumor Building (1895), named for the ancestral family home in Ireland of Marie and Mattie Johnston, relatives of Will Cocke who commissioned the building design. English sculptor Frederick Miles, a carver at Biltmore House, apparently included in the frieze the face of a local merchant, Cyrus Deake, who often stopped by to watch the stone carvers working.
