Let There Be Light!

The chandeliers in the Blair Arcade are worth seeing. Today in MN. History-1889-
Northfield illuminates its streets by installing sixty-seven electric lights.

  2. In addition to the chandeliers you have the brick work in the background as well as an archway.

  3. I must say, despite our proximity being so close to each other, I find your photo blog to be a learning experience more times often then not. Your last three days are yet another example of something I was not aware of in St Paul.

  6. Kate, I visited St Paul via Google Earth today. I didn't know it was so big! The layout reminds me of Portland with the big river running through the city, lots of bridges to cross the river and islands in the river.

    One bar with a funny name caught my attention... Beer Bellys. heh

    that's a truly beautiful chandelier Kate and 'coincidently' goes well with the fact from 1889.

  21. All my blogger friends, I am so pleased that you find these lights attractive. It's amazing how the building has been transformed inside from the former hotel. A truly historical building.
