Your comment ...They are beautiful, aren't they. Your comment reminds me of the phrase to "stop and smell the roses". We need to stop and see why structures were built where they were in the first place. If someone wants to tear it down, they MUST answer the question of whether it's a matter of necessity, or bowing to popular trends of the time. Trends don't last, but generations are pulled back to see what their ancestors saw.<br /><br />Thanks for the visit, Sandi.

I hope you do look at the other posts as my aim was to pay tribute to the founders of our communities who saw music as a necessity to life. <br />I appreciate you stopping by and letting me know you were here. :)Anita Mae Draperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618699900826731377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-43618598044245883052018-09-08T08:42:20.793-04:002018-09-08T08:42:20.793-04:00Very interesting, and of course the structures are...Very interesting, and of course the structures are beautiful. I love to see old structures being saved...the last photos are also wonderful to show---great places to enjoy the ocean.

Especially if the hero tried to stop her and they rolled down in each other's arms and ended with a splash! 😁<br /><br />There are a few early ironwork bandstands this side of the pond and I'm going to feature a couple of them in my next bandstand post, so stay tuned, and thanks for dropping by today.Anita Mae Draperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618699900826731377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-79463815413907025972018-09-05T09:09:29.857-04:002018-09-05T09:09:29.857-04:00Those are beautiful.

In that first picture, I couldn't help wondering how many ladies had tripped on their long dresses and rolled down that steep hill.Vickie McDonoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09698966142886006577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-36189976304411794102018-09-05T09:05:48.256-04:002018-09-05T09:05:48.256-04:00Connie, your theory could explain why the earliest...Connie, your theory could explain why the earliest bathing images show groups of one gender or another, where images after World War 1 start showing mixed company. By that time, many people were simply relieved at being alive, and the restrictive Queen Victoria had been gone for over a dozen years.<br /><br />Interesting take on the bathing machines, Connie.

Thus the enclosed structures? I might be making this up but I do think I've read something about this at one time. Great post, and that last building is amazing!Connie R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12038621934457678475noreply@blogger.com
