A beautiful building, with a great purpose.
ReplyDeleteI feel like kicking myself.For a year my daughter lived pretty much right across Bull St from the AI and I never got around to walking over there.It certainly is a grand building with the history to boot.The funny thing I remember about the neighborhood was that it was full of raccoons.The daughter left catfood out for them!
ReplyDeleteNo kidding! I didn't know we had that many raccoons downtown!
