One of the most successful mercantile business in Waxhaw was housed in this building from 1906 to 1966.  One of the oldest elevators in the country is said to be within.

Cabin

Gillette Castle State Park, East Haddam, CT  2017

Although this cabin is on the grounds of Gillette Castle State Park, it's a good brisk hike from here up  to the castle itself.

Thames Barbershop

New London, CT  2017

I'm not sure if this barbershop was just closed at this time, or closed for good.

Authentic Indian Cuisine

Branford, CT  2017

I've had Indian cuisine on a number of occasions, but can't say it is one of my favorite cuisines.  I have not tried this restaurant though.

At least it's not another bar.... yet.

For Sale-For Rent

New London, CT  2016

I see far too many vacant store fronts in downtown New London.  It looks like the Whaling City Boxing Club has a home here though.

Connecticut State Capitol

Hartford, CT  2015

A week or so ago, I posted a photo of the Rhode Island State Capitol.  I felt I needed to provide equal time to Connecticut, so here is our state capitol building.

Providence Building

Providence, RI  2015

Providence is a pretty historic city with a wide variety of architecture seen.  I'm not sure what this building is, but it is one of the taller buildings near the financial district in downtown Providence.

Work at Dawn

Branford, CT  2015


The sun is coming up just about the time I leave for work these mornings.  This makes for some nice light, but really messes with my camera's light meter.  It's tough to expose everything correctly.  I spend most of my working days in the building in the lower picture.

Chamberlain's

New Haven, CT  2014

Found this old store front not far from the New Haven Green on a recent photo walk.  I like that instead of a street address, the building shows it's global coordinates ( 41°18' 14" N  72° 55' 30"W).  Fortunately on the sidewalk in front of this building there is a plaque from which I learned that Abel C Chamberlain opened a furniture store here in 1832.  The family continued the business it what is known as the first furniture retail family business in the United States.   I'm not sure what became of the business, but at least I can always find this building with my GPS.
