Cornstalk motif




When the Setauket Post Office was spruced up last year they removed layers of old paint revealing the sharp detail of the cornstalk capitals. The plaque credits Benjamin Latrobe with this American motif. A picture of the whole building was on my post of Dec. 3rd.

I hadn't come across this corn motif before - great detail in the capitals.
