There are Pediments with Medallions above the Windows of the Curlee House

This is the Curlee House, at 711 Jackson Street, which is also known as the Veranda House. The house was built in the Greek Revival style, in 1857. The veranda is supported by square, chamfered posts that are topped by a full entablature. At different points in the Civil War, this house served as headquarters for Confederate Generals Van Dorn and Bragg, and Union General Halleck. There are pediments above the windows, some with four round medallions. The windows appear to be flanked by true shutters, but they protected by metal grilles, which may prevent the shutters from actually closing.
