Thanks guys for all the input, I wasn't expecting as much help as I'm getting here!
I gave the tour Sunday and I put it out there to the tour takers. It's definitely a fleur de lys. It must be just for stylistic purposes because that neighborhood doesn't have a strong French connection. And it did look like a poppy to me (the link you shared [MENTION=22948]TigerLover[/MENTION] isn't working for me though. But someone on the tour said that poppies did have a connection to the Netherlands, probably what [MENTION=23118]starlight[/MENTION] pointed out too.
Anyway I tried to take a picture as I was leading a tour, holding my notes, and a binder of photos. I wasn't going to be able to get it casually and quickly as I wanted to, so I come to you guys empty handed. But I give the tour again in a few weeks and before I do I'll go back and snap some photos to show the historical society as well as you guys.
Again, thanks for help, interest, and links. [MENTION=22399]Cody[/MENTION] - I wish I'd found that site before I wrote my tour, that has a lot of the content I went over and would have been cut my research time down for sure.
