I find it strange that the wood is all bare. Only a few types of wood can withstand weather and critters without paint...so that's one thought. And the other option would be to treat the wood with more modern chemicals that would also protect it. There may be other ways to keep bare wood healthy, but I'm not aware of them. Chestnut, redwood or maybe a few other hardy woods...but not as easily obtained. Anyway I do like the names of the streets too!
That is a fine old building, and a great photo.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous old place - and yes, delightful names.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful, Jack!
