A life sized figure of General U. S. Grant, mounted on a bay horse, is one of the ornamental stained glass windows in the Ward Memorial building. This was used as a decoration during the G. A. R. National Encampment at St. Louis, Mo., in 1887 before being presented to the Soldiers Home.
In November 2011, the window was removed from the Ward Theater for safekeeping until repairs to the theater are complete.

I’ve spent a lot of time looking at real estate projects in Marrakech over the past year, and what stands out most is how differently properties can feel depending on the atmosphere surrounding them. While exploring Originn Marrakech estates, I noticed a stronger focus on lifestyle and architectural identity rather than simply presenting properties as investments. Many real estate platforms rely heavily on numbers and surface details, but the overall environment and sense of place often matter much more in a city like Marrakech. The presentation here feels more connected to that idea of living experience and long-term value.
