St. Patrick's Church, Warehouse District

The lighting fixtures date back to the 1920's.

Russell Building, Broadway, Old South End

I'm not sure of the address, but this is between Knapp and Logan. The first floor's been mucked up, but above that the brick is a good color and the stonework's nice.

Stebbins Street, Old South End

Stay tuned. More posts this evening.

Interesting

There's an article in The Blade about the actor Rene Auberjonois. His father was a Blade correspondent and his mother was Princess Laura Murat, a descendant of Napoleon's sister Caroline and her husband Joachim Murat, who was made puppet King of Naples by his brother-in-law.
One of the Murats married George Washington's grandniece.
