ARCHITECTURE

Structures tell a story: Design and finishes speak to the tastes of the time, and floor plans and fixtures show us the way people actually lived.
Explore how architecture has changed over time, and celebrate the built environment and what it means to us!

The forced opportunity to drive slowly on the way The forced opportunity to drive slowly on the way home from work yesterday brought out the gratitude I feel for living in this beautiful city.
