http://windowviews2.blogspot.com/This is a ruin on Jekyll Island, Georgia of Major William Horton's house 1736. They have preserved it very nicely. Tabby is the type of building material that was used. It is made of equal parts lime, water, sand, oyster shells, and ash.
What a neat looking house and the window makes a great frame for the outside view.
ReplyDeleteSquirrelQueen is right. The building materials are neat. Amazing how they came up with that and it's lasted all these years.

My little Praying Mantis, I had the camera about an inch away. I think he was getting a little upset that I was "bugging" him.
ReplyDeleteI just don't have the heart to tell Al that I have let them walk on my hands and arms. I really don't want to gross her out.

I grew up in beautiful, scenic Buchanan. I had visited Alaska before moving to Anchorage so it wasn't really all that much of a shock. The shock came when I spent some time working at a kids camp on the Arctic slope just south of Barrow and another one in Nome. But it was a ball! I was in my twenties.
ReplyDeleteI spent so much time in Atlanta that is would have taken a little of the shock out of NY but then NY has never been on my list of places to see especially after living on the West Coast.

Lovely! I've never been to Jekyll Island but my friends and sister LOVE the place and talk about it often. My Window Views are up at Small Reflections and Outdoor Wednesday at at Happily Retired Gal this week.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
I link back to you on my post and link to your photos too, I wish more people can see your wonderful window views.
