Building for Bored Well on Lawn at Sumter County Courthouse, Livingston AL
This is a picture of what the town is building on the courthouse lawn for their bored well. The well, bored with the help of an old blind mule back in the mid-1800s, has supplied mineral water and according to my WPA book, "has been drunk for its curative powers by generations of Alabamians. Former residents have such faith in its ingredients that they send for it repeatedly during illness."
