Before These Crowded Streets – Old Town House

Only one week left until the overnight parking ban is lifted and the parked cars return.  I'm convinced a photographer came up with the ban that extends from the end-of-Fall until early-Spring!  It's a wonder to walk these streets in the early morning hours and explore them before the town stirs.  On this morning, I walked the length of Washington street to the Old North Church and wandered up and down State and Pleasant streets.  Here are the first two images of Old Town House from that walk.  The morning light was absolutely perfect on this particular day and turned [...]
