Here are some views from the Green and thereabouts in Waterbury, Connecticut. The architect Cass Gilbert designed City Hall (second picture), which is not on the green but close to it. The building is being renovated, which is a good thing. It's a gem.
I've been taking so many macro shots that I thought I would stand back and have a look. I love this odd little city. But I missed getting close to the good stuff. So next week.

Thank you for showing us some of the architecture in this beautiful city Sandy. I enjoyed it so much.
ReplyDeleteI so enjoy old architechture. It has real character as opposed to some of the boxy stuff that they seem to be building these days. Lovely photographs.

I really like the 2nd photo. It is hard to tell wheather it is in colour or b/w - nice! Tho the other ones are great shots too! :)
ReplyDeleteThe word "stately" comes to mind immediately, but hardly seems adequate. My favorite is the last one though. Such character.
ReplyDeleteThey are all lovely buildings. The town house is impressive for sure and the church is very beautiful with that steep spire reaching high up to the sky.
ReplyDeleteLike Mojo I also fell for the last house.
Awesome shots of some fantastic architecture, thanks for sharing Sandy.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!

ReplyDeleteIn the "olden days," architecture was like art -- they cared about ambience. I am so glad that many of our older buildings were saved from the chopping block.
ReplyDeleteLook!

ReplyDeleteFantastic old buildings. I like very much this nice and interesting sequence of images.

ReplyDeleteI love old cities (something that we don't have here in Dubai). Thank you for sharing these gorgeous pictures!
ReplyDeleteexcellent captures of historical buildings
ReplyDeleteThe older I get the more I appreciate the history that these buildings have seen. It's great that they are renovating, rather than demolishing. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots, Sandy
