Interior becomes exterior

June 17, 2010

Brownstoner (Philadelphia edition) offers a thoughtful column by Libbie Hawes on the wonderful (yet sadly ghostlike) tracings of buildings that once were on the party walls of buildings that still stand. See her collection and read her thoughts at Brownstoner here.

Sabra, I just re-found your Time Machine! I feel like I’m following you around the Philadelphia preservation community from afar, here’s hoping we run into one another in person sometime soon. Thanks for this, hope you’re still reading over at Brownstoner Philadelphia too.

Fasten Your Seatbelt!

You've got control of the time machine while you're here. History isn't a dull, dusty old place, it's just yesterday from awhile back. My goal is to be an explorer, a matchmaker, a facilitator between people wanting a peek at how things used to be and the drawers of old maps and other goodies out there waiting to be discovered and introduced to this wide, wonderful digital world. Check out the Bulletin Board tab above for ways that you can help network history.
