Beautiful Soldier standing guard in Soldier's Rest. He is a little off kilter and I suppose it is due to the soil settling.

It was part of the Kuhn State Hospital and was built in 1901 and burned in 1918.
 
The Confederate Soldiers annex was built by the UDC using riverboat cruises and concerts. It opened in 1901 and in 1918 while 5 CS veterans were still there it burned. Below is a post card that show both buildings. There is nothing left of the original hospital or annex and is schedule for demolition.
