You Capture - Old Signs

Beth over at I Should Be Folding Laundry is hosting another You Capture for your viewing pleasure. So go check it out, like now, for realz.


These I took a while ago while we were in New York. They are dates on buildings- signs of old as well as old signs, right. I know we are supposed to take new photos, but I love these and I want to share them, so there!

I love visiting Philadelphia or D.C. and seeing really old dates in the cornerstones.

I love that first one!! It's so cool when things have dates on them.

Mommy Mo said...

What cool pictures! What do the dates mean, I wonder?

The bricks are built into the buildings to show the year it was actually built.

The wooden one, I believe, is for the same reason. It was on an old ice factory on the Hudson. I think it was Roosevelt's, if I remember correctly. I'll double check.
