not one of my most exciting photos, but i am compelling to photograph architectural elements that are disappearing from our american landscape. tin ceilings, next to real hardwood floors, authentic bay windows and high ceilings are my favorite old-fashioned bit of interior victoriana.
this is the tin-ceiling at the Pink Rose Pastry Shop in Queen's Village in Philadelphia.
The ceiling. Note the slots for lighting. We covered the whole thing in muslin, which gave it a really nice finish. Also had to make the ceiling sturdy enough to walk on, for access to the lights. They also wanted to drop the peanut shells and banana peels through the slots, but that idea was later cut.

A defunct Mexican restaurant in Provo near Brigham Young University. It is back in the corner of a shopping center which never seems to get much business. The place looks like it was quite interesting in its day. It is always sad to see local businesses fail but at least there were some interesting things to shoot. The emotional part of me wants to try to reopen the place but the business part says WRONG!

The ornate plaster ceiling of the Corinthian Hall of the Grand Lodge of Massachsetts. The ceiling was created by Italian artisans in the 1800's. It is said to be more valuable than the building and grounds on Tremont Street.
The Neptune Hotel (1794-97) was designed by George Pycock as part of the Trinity House project upgrading its Whitefriargate properties. The Neptune boasted 22 four-poster beds and closed in 1815, becoming Hull's Customs House until 1912. Part of the Neptune has served as a retail outlet for Boots the Chemist for a number of years. The staff canteen, originally the Hotel's banqueting room, retains the original decorative plaster ceiling.
