Flying the Flag...
Broadway... Looking up... At the tops of buildings...
The interesting thing in this photo, is that the deeper red building on the right, is a NEW building.
But see how wonderfully the builder made sure that the looks of his new building, blended in with the looks of the old ones, to the left. Now this is our idea of wonderful building, and a form of preservation.
Thanks Tom!!!
'Bunting'!!! I love 'bunting'!!!
More looking-up, at the top of old buildings, down street...
Ohhhhh don't-cha' love that old fashioned wrap-around porch???? :-)
More flag flying, on a beautiful old home/porch...
Yet another older home...... Prettied-up for summer....... With flowers, and hanging greens,
and porch furniture...

Such a true quote... Some do better than others at preserving for the future. My, what a lot of beautiful old homes in your corner. People obviously have a lot more wealth than those in mine.
Lovely quote and lovely architecture...old and "new". You are also helping to preserve these wonderful buildings and homes with your photos, "Auntie"...thank you~~~

Oh yes! I so enjoy seeing your beautiful photos of houses and buildings in your city. I just love the wraparound porches and sometimes wish for an older two-story home with one. I do believe they are my favorite style house. But, I must be sensible and think to the future and plan for everything on one floor, should we decide to move.
Beautiful. The last home reminds me of the one my parents bought when I began high school. Spent my teen age years there. Loved sitting on that big old porch in the wee hours of the morn.

Love your latest photos! Those older homes do have a certain quaint charm about them. Ours is over 100 years old, and it is charming, but way too much work!
Peace,

I really do love all these old buildings and houses. I would LOVE to take a walk all around your town!!
I absolutely LOVE how they made that building look old...wonderful. The wrap around porches are amazing. You capture the spirit of your town wonderfully.
I love your pretty town with all the beautiful old homes. We don't have many left around our town. Some have been preserved but an awfully lot have been torn down.
We have a section of homes at the edge of town, built in the old fashioned style and they are LOVELY. I have decided if ever I win the lottery, I will have one of the NEW homes, made to LOOK olden..but with all new insides....:))
I so enjoyed this little visit to your town. The houses are all so pretty and those porches are calling my name. Beautiful!
The pictures you take of the town always look so cute! I love it when you share them!
blessings,
