Good news yesterday about the derelict Capitol West office building I showed you last week. A demolition contractor has been hired and demolition will begin in two weeks. It is expected to take about four months to take it down. The story is here.

This pew's end is truly spectacular. I can envision how difficult it must be to concentrate during a service with this wealth of carvings to view.
So many unique carvings, Jack. I really like the depth of field here which shows the great number and shapes of finials in the background.
I like this series of wonderfully carved pewa.
This is just beautiful. Really great work Jack.
Answering your questions we have a back patio where we have perennials and and we do seasonal stuff in the front garden.
It will be hard to determine a favorite from among these beautiful carvings.
Hmmm, wonder what I would have had carved on my pew ? la Tour??? :)

This is really interesting! Never seen anything like it!
These pew ends are so beautiful and different! I'm really enjoying them. What great news about the Capitol West building scheduled demolition! Look forward to seeing the new one! Hope you're having a great week, Jack!

These pew ends are really fascinating! I've never seen anything like this!
The craftsmanship involved in these pew ends is fabulous! If I ever get to Hartford this is a definite stop for me!
This would just be a wonderful place to visit.
These are so amazing... So unexpected. So wonderful!
You said we were in for a treat, how very true. These pew ends are just stupendous.Is it an age-old tradition to have carved pew ends? I don't think I've ever seen this in France...
Jack that is an intricate and detailed carving, (well all the ones we've seen) it is amazing they took the time to carve these beauties. What a vision they had.
A great series
the request you left at my blog made me laugh and laugh. thanks, jack, for your sly sense of humor.
Interesting. Not quite like the churches I've seen.
A lovely arch. Each one is getting better and better.
^^That comment was from me! I don't know why it got changed to Anon. :(
Such a unique idea to have all the pew ends different Jack, each with it's own story,
Interesting developments with the Capitol West office building. $1.18 just to knock it down, I wonder why they didn't choose the 'imploding' method for such a big building. Much quicker I'd have thought. btw if they want to create a more 'welcoming environment' maybe they should change the name, I mean to say 'Asylum Hill' come on, haha!
