Grand Old Lady


For those of you who have grown up in Birmingham, this building is instantly recognizable. This wonderful Art Deco detailing is from Loveman's Department Store in downtown Birmingham.  This grand old lady evokes many fond memories.... eating lunch on the Mezzanine,  the glove department, the elevators with attendants in white gloves, the fabulous Christmas windows...and so many more.  This building now houses the  McWane Science Center.

I am in Paris this week.  I am preposting while I am gone.  In addition to the Birmingham photo each day, I am adding a Paris photo from my last trip in March, 2007.  From time to time I may leave a comment from Paris. Thank you for stopping by.
