Pratt Street


Pratt Street in downtown Hartford is a short street with a mix of new and old buildings,
some in good shape and some challenged.  I like this old building and the art nouveau street lamps.

My travels are scheduled to last five more days.  Posts are scheduled for every
day while I am away, and I have been updating them to include photos from Russia.

While we are on the subject of lovely old buildings, 
here is a handsome wooden building with wonderful ornamentation, in Uglich.

  1. The Hartford shot is pure elegance. The other one is impressive but would be a nightmare to paint!

  2. There's some very interesting architecture there in Hartford. I like the composition of your first picture. We seem to have a lot more "challenged" buildings here in New London. I find them all very interesting though.
