Title	Bank Entrance Grille
Description	This image is a pencil conceptual drawing of the entrance to a bank done by James L. Murphy, Jr. in 1937. The drawing shows the front view of the arched doorway into the bank surrounded by a brick arch and walls. There is an intricately detailed iron grille in the doorway with artwork showing four mythological figures in Greek dress, an angel with a sword, insets of the fronts and backs of various known coins and long strips of designs reminiscent of those used on the border of paper bills. In the lower right corner there is an artist information block which reads: "A bank entrance grille, Minor I, Arch 476, Feb. 15, 1937, A.P.I., James L. Murphy, Jr." Above the artist information block there is a Alabama Polytechnic Institute School of Architecture stamp with a handwritten inscription in red ink which reads: "12." There is a sticker in the lower left corner that reads: "37." The drawing is in fair condition with some water spotting and is encapsulated.
