Down the Hall


Had some fun here with a photo friend. 
To help capture the light coming through the windows, 
 we blew the dust off the windowsills!  
Amazingly, we didn't sneeze. 
My husband would have thought I was a nutcase, 
that's why I love my photo friends.

Made of Stone

The Mercer Museum 
in Doylestown, PA is built entirely of concrete. 
Henry C. Mercer 
was keenly interested in preventing the loss 
of his collections to fire which made concrete 
his building material of choice. 


The museum is full of wonderful nooks and crannies.
I just LOVE it.

I have spent much time getting to know the late Henry C. Mercer 
in preparation for an article I am writing.  
So you'll be seeing more of his life and collections...
If you'd like to see his Cigar Advertising Collection 
on my other blog, click here. 

Eventually I will have museum photos here. 
But as of this post, I am still working on that.
