THERE ARE MANY WEBSITES FILLED WITH PHOTOS OF BIG PUBLIC BUILDINGS, MANISIONS AND MONUMENTS. THERE HAVE BEEN FEW SITES THAT ARE DEDICATED TO THE BACKBONE OF ANY CITY, ITS HOUSING AND NEIGHBORHOODS. THIS IS A PHOTO SITE DEDICATED IN PARTICULAR, TO THE CLASSIC HOUSES OF THE PAST. NOT HOMES BUILT FOR THE RICH, BUT THOSE OF PEOPLE RANGING FROM LABORERS TO PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE. WHILE I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET TO EVERY CITY, (SAN FRANCISCO, AND NEW ORLEANS ARE BIG OMISSIONS) THE ONES INCLUDED ALL HAVE AT LEAST ONE CLASSIC 19TH CENTURY DISTRICT. SOME HAVE BEEN RESTORED AND ARE IN PRISTINE CONDITION. OTHERS STILL HAVE WORK TO BE DONE. NEVERTHELESS, ALL DISPLAY THE TYPE OF CRAFT AND WORKMANSHIP, SADLY MISSING FROM MOST MODERN CONSTRUCTION.
PLEASE CLICK ON THE LINK FOR EACH CITY TO SEE PHOTOS FOR THAT PARTICULAR TOWN.
