Grand ole' Ladies

Buildings theme. This town is filled with great old Victorian beauties. They are preserved finally and have been brought back to single family homes. After the depression is was common to split them into as many as 5 apartments because the economy made it impossible for any one person to handle the upkeep. After years of effort, the Cathedral Historic Preservation group has begun to see the fruits of their efforts. These homes have become prime real estate again, and the interior and exteriors lovingly restored. Note: the buildings are nice and straight, the distortion was caused by my fish eye lens. The advantage of the lens is that I could stand on the sidewalk, and get several houses into the shot. Disadvantage is strong distortion of angles close up.
