Greek Revival on the farm

Un magnifique cadrage.

Merci beaucoup, Pierre.

Courtesy of Sears mail-order, probably. Nice shot.

Exactly what I think, Don. Thank you!

Too bad that many don't realize how much of this sort of style was mail order from Sears -- I was surprised, myself, when I learned that many of the classic Victorians in SF were based on mail order materials.

It is pretty amazing, isn't it? Of all the things to order by mail, that took the most courage!

I've often wondered how that worked. Somehow I don't imagine a postal worker dragging a house behind them!

I suppose they arrived by train...wouldn't you think? Yeah, they'd be over the UPS weight limit, huh?

beautiful colours an outstanding building!

Grazie, Gabi!

Superbe capture….
Vous pouvez placer vos photos vous même dans le Groupe et elles seront vues par plus de personnes si vous le désirez !

Merci beaucoup, Danielle! I will do that.

Stories to tell.

Yes, indeed. I wish the pillars were still there, I'm curious about how they looked. On the other hand, maybe there weren't any!

Beautiful (decayed) architectural details.

Hello,Jaap! Thank you very much.

The conversation up-line here just shows why the long decline of Sears is so sad. They weren't always just an anchor store in a mall. They were part of life in America in a way Amazon, at it's richest and most giddy, can't even dream.

I love the photo, Diane.
