- Postcard (color, divided back, 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches) showing a courthouse square with a Confederate flag pole. The courthouse in Blakely, Georgia was built in 1904 and added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1980.

Erected in May 16, 1861, the flag pole was selected from a long leaf pine tree 18 inches in diameter, 90 feet in length and spliced with 10 feet of timber to make it an even 100 feet in height. Having decayed in or near the ground it has been taken down several times and only about 65 feet now remains standing of its original height."
