This, that and the other thing 
Where? Whose?
Beautiful details.
Aloha,
Doug
From the building In Philly where the Starbucks is located where Rich and I met.
Thanks, Janet. Gorgeous.
I love little things like these that are often overlooked and I love to share them!
same as Doug 🙂
Stunning pictures, Janet. I love the woodwork and stained glass.
This old building (and so many others) have details that you don’t see now, partly because of cost, I suppose, but partly because they’re not “modern.” Our house in Cleveland, built in the 30’s, has marvelous details, too, although not quite like these. I love when these beautiful old buildings are taken care of and kept in use, although with everyone on cells phones and laptops, maybe not that many people notice.
I know what you mean. How man times do we see a table full of people and everyone is on a cell phone?
I spent the day in downtown KC with my kids yesterday. Still a lot of beautiful old architecture. Love it.
Sounds like a great day, Rochelle, in more ways than one.
Beautiful! We must have both been on a “notice Victorian architecture” kick on Monday – I’ll be posting some photos I took later today or tomorrow. What a shame that we can’t afford or don’t bother with these frills any more.
It really is, Sharon. But all is not lost! Look at any of the “Not So Big House” books by Sarah Susanka for homes that are being built with fabulous details but in liveable spaces. I dream over her books.
Just read a short horror novel entitled “The Devil’s in the Details”. No real comparison, but I almost skipped this post because I thought I had already seen it.

I’m glad you didn’t! I always enjoy having you stop by and comment.
