Thank you Jim! I like to see these gorgeous old buildings restored. Like so many things, the workmanship back then was so much better.
Jim Wright
so many areas in so many cities have decay where there once was glory. and so many issues involved in restoring or rehabbing those neighborhoods. good work

Rory, I agree that there is such an elegance in old architecture that is seldom found today. Perfect choice of color for this composition! V

I really love this photography Rory, very well done!!! Reminds me of those old elegant houses from Bucharest ( my hometown ). Is such a pleasure to walk on those streets, is like traveling in time... Voted/fav
Rory Siegel replied:
This really did take me back in time Gabi....and there is much that I love about it that seems missing these days...a love for true quality of workmanship as opposed to quick and cheap construction quality for one thing. Thank you so much for your lovely words!

Odd Jeppesen
This is so beautiful.
Rory Siegel replied:
Thank you so much Odd. I could not help wondering, when I saw this lovely old wreck of a house, just what it's history was? Who lived there and what was their "story?" I love this style of architecture and to my eye it's as if these older buildings take on a life and character of their own.
