Merchant's House Museum.
New York City.
"Merchant's House Museum, known formerly as Old Merchant's House and as the Seabury Tredwell House, is a Federal-style red-brick row house built in 1832 by Joseph Brewster. It is located at 29 East Fourth Street, between Lafayette Street and the Bowery, Manhattan, New York City. It was designed by Minard Lafever. It became a museum in 1936 and is the only nineteenth century family home in New York City preserved intact - both inside and outside.
In 1835 it became the home of Seabury Tredwell, a wealthy New York merchant, and his family. Tredwell's daughter, Gertrude, was born in 1840 and lived in the house until her death in an upstairs bedroom in 1933. Three years later, the perfectly preserved house opened to the public as a museum. The house was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1965.
The building's facade is reminiscent of earlier Federal-style homes, but the interior, especially the formal double parlors, represent New York's finest example of Greek revival architecture. The interior also contains the Tredwell family's original furnishings, including pieces from prominent New York cabinetmakers, like Duncan Phyfe and Joseph Meeks..
Considered one of the finest surviving Greek Revival rowhouses in America, the house is a miraculous survivor of old New York. Located in the once ultra-elegant Bond Street area, Tredwell purchased the house for the sum of $18,000 in 1835.
The house is important for its outstanding collection of original furnishings, decorative objects, magnificently preserved 19th century clothing and other personal effects of the Tredwell family. Stepping through the front portal is stepping into a time when New York City was becoming the most important seaport in North America and the house reflects these fortunate circumstances."
Here's a photo of my old girlfriend getting a new hairstyle. She went from long hair to a bob. These are scanned prints from my old 35 mm Canon camera.
Me and my cousin, circa 1969. Indeed, I am rocking a very hip scarf. Still, my favorite part of my ensemble was surely my worn out desert boots.
My cousin?
He's on his own...

1. I wanted to dedicate this week to my Dahon Hon Solo, which helped me commute in dignity and style; Dahon Hon Solo, you are my favorite hot weather bike.
2. Speaking of hot, it's been a steamer in Washington, D.C. and I think it's making people act weird; hardly anyone is outside, but those who are zip around like out-of control dragonflies.
3. I was looking at one of the posts in the group, and it mentioned the concept of social circles and sharing; it stuck with me, and spurred my own contemplation of my circles and the level of intimacy (or lack thereof) within them.
4. Felkerino and I are heading for the hills this weekend, and I am feeling so much warmth about our upcoming anniversary (happening soon!); I have the best guy for me, and that's a happy feeling.
5. Still trying to take care of myself on multiple fronts, but that seemed to involve more chocolate today than I planned... oops; back at it tomorrow, I suppose, but it sure had my taste buds popping with joy.
All the five kids above are younger than 2 years 9 months - because that is the age they go to kindergarten and this is clearly a nursery/daycare set-up.
So figure this: the daycarer has this special pram that could theoretically seat all five kids (they would wear a harness to keep them from climbing out). But the little guys, in rubber boots and all, clearly prefer to walk. Now, I have no clue how the daycarers do it, but all Danish kids (including Elliott) are trained to hold on to the pram when walking around. Elliott will grab any buggy or shopping cart bar he can hold on to and then diligently hold on to it.
It is perfectly safe and the kids are really good about it . Plus it's supercute to watch! ;-)
You can tell the old style homes some didn't use cement and others used small rocks. Nowadays its large cubed rocks as seen in another photo.

The amazing power of Dall-E2 by OpenAI. I was lucky enough to be selected for the beta testing on this and I have to say, I am totally blown away by its capabilities. At this time options are limited but I am sure in the full version it will be much more capable.
In 1962, David Bailey was a 24-year-old British photographer embarking on his first foreign assignment, a New York shoot with his then girlfriend, model Jean Shrimpton. He received some instructions: “Remember, you will be representing Vogue, so do not wear your black leather jacket in the St. Regis Hotel.” Nice try. Shrimpton remembers that “when we arrived at the airport, we were both dressed completely in leather.” Hardly surprising, considering they were the tremors causing Swinging London’s fashion and music youthquake. In fact, Antonioni used Bailey as his inspiration for the lead fashion-photographer character in his legendary document of the period, Blowup. Bailey penetrated the world of high fashion with a combination of balls and fearless style: fur-lined coats, tight trousers, and perfectly tailored suits. Iconic as Bailey’s photos became, it was usually the man behind the camera who was the most striking subject in the room.
