collapse of the roof - over the loading docks - Oneida Cotton Mills - over 100 yrs old - the roof had a leak - 9 inches of snow didn't help - so, the transformation of this old building - into apartments - 11 have been lost - still over 100 will be available - when completed - it is a positive sign when old buildings are re-purposed - old, hand crafted bricks - in a pile - hopefully some will be salvaged - ^^ inactive for at least 15 years ^^ * 1 note * © All Rights Reserved - Update: structure is on 6.8acres -

In the historic district, this Florida bungalow keeps with the original color scheme this home of many years ago.. noticed that the owners have been quite busy with the yard... certainly not a jungle like mine! © All rights reserved

the tower of this historic home reminded me of the fairy tale.. which, of course, I looked up in Wikipedia.. had no idea there were so many versions... Being in the historic distirct, this home must be painted colors belonging to the period the home was built. Colorful ancestors ! *update 10 June 2011* This home, built by the Riggins family, was moved since "the land under it was sold". 1 note added top left © All rights reserved For Andy - may the History this home holds give you strength..

This historic home is painted in the colors of the period that it was constructed. Note the roof-ceiling over each wrap around porch.. painted blue like the sky. That is standard on these older homes. Yes, this is on a hill ! © All rights reserved

benches.. potted plants.. paver stones... camphor trees... sitting on his guitar... warm, sunny day...

on Anna Maria Island .. near the museum .. sit - take in the beauty .. www.AMIHS.org "Surrounding Belle Haven Cottage is the Mangrove Walk. Thanks to two grants from the Sarasota Bay Estuary Program and the city of Anna Maria's Environmental Enhancement & Education Committee, the grounds of the Historical Park are ablaze in flora indigenous to Anna Maria Island. Not only is the area educational, it's a cool walk in yesteryear!" (This page explains the history of the cottage - some of it hilarious! It is on Pine Ave., near the old Jail.) -signed only © All rights reserved SOOC

waterbirds of all sorts, shapes, sizes.. some (most all) will accept hand-outs of bread.. then, others will go for "the fresh catch of the day"..
