Architecture

I love the architecture of the old buildings in Detroit.  They have so much lovely details.  You can tell they put a lot into designing and building them.  It is hard to capture the beautiful details, but here are a few images.

 I'm going to have to share more photos of buildings soon.

Meadowbrook Hall

This summer I took a trip to Meadowbrook Hall for the first time.  I've always heard so much about it and wanted to have the chance to see it for myself.  It is one magnificent structure, the mansion, the gardens and the grounds.  I didn't take the house tour but got a sneak peak of the inside.  Wow, it was amazing! So much elaborate detail.  I see now why they have a lot of weddings and elegant events there. 

The Gazebo

I love beautiful architecture.  They took much pride in building homes back when.  I wish I could post more photos of every little corner of the place.  If you haven't been there, you really need to go.  It is only a 30 minute drive from Detroit.  It is a site to see.  I hope to go back for a tour of the inside of the mansion.  I will share photos of its many gardens in another post.
