charming picture of Rajah Lodge, Of which MT. Mcknight writes:
 'The country all around Montevallo is attractive and possesses many natural beauties which have not been supplement- ed by the art and skill of man. But there is one show place between two and three miles from the town, which is becoming more famous with each year, and also more beautiful. This is Rajah Lodge, the home of former Congressman w. F. Aldrich and his family. MT Ald- rich is native of Now York state and was educated for a civil engineer. He moved to Alabama in the 70's, became in- terested in coal mining, and developed the great Montevallo mines, of which he was for many years the owner. The mines are now owned by a corporation, but the picturesque home which MT Ald- rich has built up there, surrounded by exquisite shrubbery and flowers, has be- come so dear to the hearts of MT. and Mrs. Aldrch that they will doubtless re- main there to the end of their days, with occasional excursions into the world MT. Aldrich has served several terms in Con- gress."
