The Rusty Pipe

Note the little scrap of wallpaper visible in the background? One can often find little bits of history tucked in behind built-ins, moldings, or furniture too heavy to move.

I love that you can look past the rather extraordinary deterioration of the pipe (and its implied plumber’s jackpot) to the sweet wallpaper remnant behind it. Can you date the pattern?

Yikes, that is one sad pipe. When it gets taken out, let me know!

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.
