This shot was taken looking down from the school building. The Palace

is interesting that this postcard uses the word "nestles" in it.
Today, on top of the hill behind The Palace Hotel, is the Macon County Bottling
Plant of Nestlé Waters North America. Nestle, of
course, is frequently written as Nestles!
