The bricklayer
While wandering around Bethlehem yesterday with my adventurous friend Torrie, we followed the path down towards a small river where they're in the process of ever so slowly restoring several old stone buildings. This one was part of the dye house, originally built in 1746.
I wish now that we had come across a young man then who stopped us later while we were photographing some other old & beautiful building with the comment... are you interested in old buildings? He proceeded to tell us he's been a bricklayer for 16 years after being in general construction for years before starting the old school trade of bricklaying. We then stood on the sidewalk & he was pointing at some of the old buildings giving us a commentary about the trade!
I wish he would have been standing near us when we were down by the old dye house to tell us what he thought of it's story!
