Unique 19th century architecture. Ulysses Grant's hometown.

    Love the red brick, and I really appreciate it that you cloned out the lines.
    I think the stairs would look fab too, if it were not for those dang phonelines. It is becoming very hard to take pics without 21 century disturbing elements.

    ...is a wonder! The locals have obviously gone to exceptional effort to preserve a place in time. It's like you walked into a history book! Now if they could keep the air conditioners out of the windows, the lines off of the buildings...etc. I have a shot of a lovely garden and gazebo...but the gazebo has an electric overhead fan!!!

    Thanks for commenting.

    Old High School
    This structure dominates the scene. Sitting at the highest point overlooking the town.
