First Troop Philadelphia Cavalry

[tesarver]

Today I had to go to Philadelphia for a seminar on helping veterans. The place that I had to go in Philadelphia was the Armory on 23rd Street. When I arrived, here between these modern buildings was this building that looked like a little castle. As I went inside I found a building that houses "First Troop Cavalry" The Cavalry was formed in 1774 and is still a active reserve unit today. They had a museum on the second floor showing the rich history from 1774 through WWI of the Cavalry. The building that they are in was built in 1900 and 3 years ago almost lost it to a fire. Today they have finished the restoration.

Camera used was the EOS-M w/EF-M 18-55mm lens.

What a grand building + (shame about the skyscraper? behind, but it's there and shouldn't be cloned out IMHO).

Nice set of images, great building and some excellent patterns.
Have you thought about editing out the modern building in the first image?

Re: First Troop Philadelphia Cavalry

I like the third as an abstract, the first is good but would be better with the modern building removed

Re: First Troop Philadelphia Cavalry

Nice set Tom, I like the first image
Though I think it would benefit with a little more space on the RHS just to give that turret a little breathing space IYSWIM
