Pink Palace in Memphis with Barbara Anthony

Barbara & I took off for Memphis to visit the Pink Palace, a mansion turned into a museum.  It was originally built to be the home of wealthy entrepreneur, Clarence Saunders.  The museum derives its name from the Mansion's ornate pink Georgian marble facade.

We also saw a lots of clothing and costumes from Memphis' past.  The secretary in one vignette seemed odd - don't think there were negro secretaries back then.
