Today, the wisteria is long gone now from the front of this building.

I took these photos in April.

 

The door of this building caught my eye.  I can imagine that it has seen much better days, but I still see a beauty in it.  I like the decorative carvings.

 

More decorations…

 

 

… simple and nice.

Brownstones

I stopped to admire the molding/designs/details (what do you call this?) on some brownstones that I bypass all the time but never really paid attention to, before.  Is this for decorative purposes or something more important, I wonder?

 

Interesting moldings.

 

I’ll have to pay attention to the other brownstones in the neighborhood, next time.
