Westport

Clothing, furniture, home decor and cosmetics retailer Anthropologie occupies a Bedford Square building originally built for a director of Standard Oil.  The Tudor-style building was later occupied for decades by the Westport/Weston Family YMCA.  For a long time it housed an indoor swimming pool.

We passed Anthropoligie on the way to dinner.

And in the other direction afterwards.

Wilton Hindu Temple

My head snapped to the left as I passed a red and white striped building with onion domes and animal statues.  So, I pulled in, of course.  It is a four year old Hindu temple.

Ferguson Library

When I was in Stamford, the Ferguson Library grabbed my attention.  At its core is a classic colonnaded building, wrapped by a beautifully designed modern addition.  At the left side of the library addition is a new coffee shop, Winfield Street Coffee, with a well-frequented patio.

 In the sidewalk there is a structure decorated with book themes.  What is it used for?  I don't know.

Taste is Personal

Someone decided to design, build and occupy this building in Stamford, Connecticut.

One way to tell.
