The post carried two photographs documenting the work. One image showed a worker kneeling at the base of a large white column, wearing a gray shirt marked “NPS” in gold lettering, applying trim and painter’s tape around the column base. A second image showed the finished base of a white column resting on a square white plinth on dark stone paving.
The columns take their name from Thomas Jefferson, a founding figure of the early United States.
