Cheyenne’s Historic 1892 Pumphouse Saved From The Wrecking Ball — For Now

Monday, May 21, 2018

The Equitable Building, Denver Colorado.

These photographs depict Denver's spectacular 1992 vintage Equitable Building.

Still used as an office building, the ornate interior of the building more closely recalls a church than an office building, replete with stained glass windows.

Denver has really had its ups and downs over the years. It's amazing to think that this building has weathered the storm of them.

Painted Bricks?

As we noted in our very first post on this curiously named blog, this blog started off as an effort to photograph and document the painted "ghost signs" on buildings in Casper, Wyoming.

It has since expanded, as we have photographed most if not all of those, into one that captures generally interesting older buildings anywhere, while still recording painted signs on buildings where we run across them. It is one of a series of photograph blogs we have, including our main site, Holscher's Hub, our site dedicated to churches in our region, Churches of the West; our similar site on courthouses, Courthouses of the West; our railroad site, Railhead; and our site dedicated to war memorials, Some Gave All.

In a way, however, this site is a history site, attempting to record a bit of the history of the West through the depiction of its buildings of a certain era. We have a couple of history sites as well, including Lex Anteinternet and Today In Wyoming's History. This one mostly lacks text, unlike those other two, with the buildings speaking for themselves.
