Autumn
Leaves in Cliffside
One afternoon in the fall of 1954 or thereabouts,
Harold Clardy climbed the water tower and snapped this fantastic photo
of the Methodist Church with Cliffside Street and Highland—and
that magnificent foliage—in the background. Shelby Highway winds
eastward up the center of the picture; Highway 221-A curves to the
south (lower right). The house whose roof appears below the bridge
was once a blacksmith shop. Later, in the '40s, Harold lived in that
house with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Holloway White.
