Preference for Porches and Patina in the (Grant ) Park

"The Future Is Behind Us - Opening Reception" by WonderRoot at the L.P. Grant Mansion hosted by Atlanta Preservation Center for Phoenix Flies 2012. This post is just a tease.


I love the L.P. Grant Mansion. Even the back porch has patina. People want to be there.

P1050677-2012-03-14-WonderRoot-APC-Phoenix-Flies-L-P-Grant-Mansion-porch-The-Future-Is-Behind-Us-Opening-Reception
The front porch last night at dusk. The high ceiling makes me feel important, not small.

P1050661-2012-03-14-WonderRoot-APC-Phoenix-Flies-L-P-Grant-Mansion-The-Future-Is-Behind-Us-Opening-Reception
This place make people smile. This is the first art/photography show in the Grant Mansion drawing room.
