Thank you. Many many years later my husband worked for one of the construction contractors when it was converted to condos. You know insulation between the outside wall and inside walls to keep the warm in. — they found clothes, shoes, newspapers, rags, blankets. In the 1890s this was recycling. – no food or anything wet just the fiber type stuff. Needless to say it’s all been removed and replaced with what is commercially used today

Just a thought.

Thanks Mary – I have the tune going crazy in my head – I may just blurt it out and make my husband happy. Not! More like reach for the earplugs!

1896, a good vintage. Great building. Now get planning!

😀

II can see why you love it. On my bucket list. Is a architecture tour of Chicago.

My niece has access to a corporate apartment downtown, so we were able to stay right down by the river and just wander about and enjoy this magnificent city. I’m an advocate for visiting our metropolitan areas with the same strategy we use when we visit Paris or Rome or Madrid. Pretend you are in a foreign country and just soak it all up! So happy for you to live there.

I love the start of a new school year, so much to choose from, and much at discount. I love, love paper, but not as much as I love fabric!!

It was interesting for sure. We could open windows – but being next to the L not a good idea. The elevator was old old school with an operator – couldn’t push the button yourself. The ladies room was on the 9th floor. I worked on the 11th floor. No need for a step machine when you make that trek a few times a day. It had doors wid enough for hoop skirts and a fainting couch.

There is a house in our town that I love. Not huge just a cute little house. Every time I drive past it I imagine living in it.

How about a photo collage with your favorite elements…just a small one, hung somewhere you’ll see it every day and smile while you plan a Fisher quilt?
