| Pen and ink drawing of the historic Birmingham Terminal Station. |
__________________________________________________________________________________ Art collectors and devotees of local history alike will want to take home this limited-edition, framed pen-and-ink drawing of the magnificent Birmingham Terminal Station. The Byzantine-inspired Beaux-Arts station welcomed trains and opened to the public in 1909. To this day, its demolition in 1969 remains a tragedy in the eyes of many Alabamians. The elegant rendering of this architectural masterpiece is signed by the late Birmingham artist L. Lavelle Cost and is numbered 237 out of 250.
