Boyd Coleridge is a gentleman I met in Newfoundland many years ago. He lived in the Trinity area for a good part of his life and was a knowledgeable carpenter and boatbuilder. He died in 2016 at the age of 88 (4 years after I met him). His son, Eric, carries on some of the traditional ways by applying the skills he learned from his dad to restore the doors and windows of heritage homes. boatsandbuilders.com/oral-histories/boyd-coleridge
Here's a side view of the abandoned wooden building known as the "Boyd Grain Elevator". See a front view of the same building in the comments box, below.

"The Boyd Theatre was built for Alexander R. Boyd and designed by Philadelphia theatre architectural firm Hoffman-Henon Co. Since acclaimed as an ‘Art Deco masterpiece’, the Boyd Theatre had a towering vertical sign that advertised the theatre a mile away, an outdoor retail promenade, an ornate ticket booth, and a huge colorful window with Art Deco style motifs. The grand lobby was lined with huge etched glass mirrors and had an area carpeted, which was imported from Czechoslovakia. The three level foyer had dazzling colorful mirrors two stories high. Equipped with an orchestra pit, a pipe organ (opened by organist Otto Beck), and a stage house, the auditorium had 2,450 seats (including one balcony) and perfect sightlines."

This sign had been turned off several year ago. It was a delight to see it aglow this week, even if some letters no longer light. You can infer the era of this sign from the long finned car above the Boyd neon.
Boyd was a station and shipping point on the Missouri Pacific Railroad. These historic buildings once served as a filling station.

The first weekend in October finds Boyds from across the country meeting here at the Boyd Tavern in Boydton, Virginia... Joyce traces her roots to these Boyds not here in the states, but rather in Scotland by way of Ireland. The group she most closely associates with originally settled in South Carolina, though these Virginia Boyds are cousins nonetheless.
The tavern was originally constructed in 1785 as an ordinary (what we would think of as a hotel) situated in Boydton, a small town that would eventually become the county seat of Mecklenburg County, Virginia. In 1794, it was bought by Alexander Boyd. From that time to this, the structure had undergone changes that reflect its current federal style. It has served as a tavern, a hotel, a courthouse and jail, a stagecoach depot, and a mustering place for local Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. A courtroom at a tavern? I suppose it makes sense if you're having a bad day in court. A modern courthouse now exists on the opposite corner... sadly, it lacks a tavern.
From the beginning, the Boyd family has continued a connection to this place. Many can trace their lineage back to Alexander Boyd and beyond… I can trace mine back to my grandma. I’ve come to know them as a family with a passion for life and place, and a compassion for others... a salt-of-the-earth southern gentility seems to be a commonality among them. Perhaps those aspects are well steeped into these folks who find their ties to a place that was known for its hospitality.
The Boyd Tavern is essentially a museum that gives us a unique view of the time of a fledgling United States... a peek into the history that brings us where we are. Where history is concerned, it seems the older you get, the more relevant it becomes… perhaps that’s because it has somehow weaved itself into our very being.
"To me, history ought to be a source of pleasure. It isn't just part of our civic responsibility. To me, it's an enlargement of the experience of being alive, just the way literature or art or music is." – David McCullough

The amazing landscape of Kanangra Walls. Looking back over the canyoning trip from the previous day. Bruce can be seen on top of the lookout for a good idea of scale.
Built in the mid 19th century and originally conceived as a lighthouse (without official sanction), it became a lookout for the Davidson family, local whalers. I was inspired to re-visit this area after reading Rush Ho, by Shirley Barrett.
Love the way the brown rock is folded amongst the red.
Here's the front view of an old abandoned wooden grain elevator located in Boyd, Oregon. Made of cribbed lumber, it probably has six different bins internally for storing of different grains until sold & shipped by either rail or trucked. Named after T.P. Boyd, and established in 1861, Boyd was once a thriving town until the decision to build a highway bypassing it was constructed in 1923. That was the beginning of the end for Boyd. The great depression put the finishing touches on a town that was already reeling from low wheat prices and decreasing numbers of travelers. They closed the Post Office in 1952 and the town was finally dissolved in 1955.
