Heritage Village in Bloom

Japanese Magnolia provide the early February foreground of the

 James M. Calhoun Law Office in Heritage Village. The office is a replica of

 U.S. Senator and Secretary of State John C. Calhoun's law office.
James was John's nephew, and John was a powerful politician from South Carolina

 and one of "The Great Triumvirate" in the 1830s and 1840s. 

 James became a lawyer and planter in Dallas County, Alabama,

 and served in the state House of Representatives and Senate. 

 This one-room, Greek Revival structure was built in the 1830s

 and moved here from the little town of Carlowville.
