	The black wall in the News Sentinel's lobby was fabricated in Friendsville of marble quarried in Tennessee. The lighthouse on the wall, a symbol of the E.W. Scripps Co., formerly hung on the side of the newspaper's old building.  The lighthouse is now mounted onto slabs of Imperial Black Marble from Thornhill, a community in Grainger County. The marble was fabricated in Friendsville by the Tennessee Valley Marble Company and then installed by Stonecraft, Inc. Imperial Black Marble is one of only two black marbles quarried in America and is an exclusively Tennessee marble.
