Antique Glass Windows

I love strolling through small towns. Looking at the building’s structure of long ago. There is something almost whimsical about it to me. Ah, the stories the old bricks could tell, and the quality of workmanship that went into these structures.

There are also a few other available ground level store fronts down this strip, but the rippled antique windows and the fireplace hearth almost whispered to me, “this is where you belong.”
