SUNDAY STILLS CHALLENGE - HISTORY

Above is a photo of the Erie Canal....built way over 100 years ago and full of local history. (Louise suggested that I add this to my post after I put it up).
Things that are 60 and older.......that would be me .....

Above is our house....it was built in 1853.


Except for our indoor, our barns were built over 100 years ago.


Below is a Carriage House that sits behind the Morgan Manning House (historical society).
Here is the Morgan Manning House.

This entire street is full of buildings that are part of a historical registry.


This building (my dentist's office) is in Batavia, New York.


Below is a shot of the Riga Academy...

This beautiful home is out on a country road not far from us.

Below is a shop in Medina, New York.

This is one of the homes on Park Avenue in Brockport.
All of the buildings in these photographs are well over 100 years old. I must have hundreds of examples.

  2. I love when you post pictures of your neighborhood, Lori! I went to college in Buffalo but haven't been back up to that neck of the woods since then. I do have a fondness for upstate NY but haven't made it further than Albany in a long time.

  7. You certainly have some wonderful historic architecture around you. I like that they are still used, and not in ruins like where I live. I also loved seeing your photo! Comparing ages with all your subjects, you are but a youth!

  8. Some lovely photoes, as always, Lori. But the best, is of course, the one that finally shows us what YOU look like. A real pleasure meeting you at last.
