Architecture ...Vintage 1891 home..




This weekend's prompt for Bonnie's Photo Art Friday is the word 'architecture' of which you will find many amazing photos to peruse on her web-site.  The sepia tones and a few other minor steps and this is what it looks like...

 Early pioneer, merchant, and sailor E. R. Rogers settled in 
Steilacoom , Washington in 1863.  For his wife, Catherine, he built this mansion in 1891.  
Over the years it had several owners, was a boarding house for many, and most notably became 
renowned for it's elegant restaurant simply 
called E. R. Rogers'.

 The beautiful facade and interior have been restored to the period by caring historians.  It sits on a hill overlooking Puget Sound and it's islands and ferries.  The community boasts many treasures from the early pioneers who first lived and traded here in 
their Historical Museum.

  3. Your editing has given this home such a vintage feel - and added gravitas to it somehow. So nice. Thank you for sharing your art with Photo Art Friday, Kathy.
