Old limestone strucutre | Natural History Museum and study classes |
This is one of the old buildings that were built 1866 to late 1900's. These are magnificent structures architectually, and much ornaments on the top and sides of the buildings. To view these and imagine the intricate artistry it took to build these for the US is to imagine how Italian immigrants came along to help and do the work. |
| Main strip of the buildings stores |
|  | Wonderful strip to Wander They have done a magnificence job of preserving the heritage of the structures. Most are form the late 1800's-1920's. These buildings have restaurants, gift shops, antiques, and bars -all for the tourists and students. |

Thanks, Bruce, for a sweet tour. I grew up wanting to live in Kansas with Toto! Ciao, Carol | richiecdisc Sun Aug 9, 2009 22:02 UTC
Too bad the Bourgeois Pig isn't a BBQ joint, Bruce. What a name! All I saw of Lawrence back in 1994 was the Free State Brewing. My original VT motto came from a T-shirt I bought there (without beer things do not go as well). Love to go back someday. |
