Photographs Grapevine Schoolhouse

[Barbarian]

Took about seven separate images, stitched and then adjusted for dynamic range. But I think it's worth the work.

That wood floor is beautiful!

Great job on the composition, Barbarian

The school was preserved because a family moved into it and lived there for years. Then an historian discovered it, and the City of Grapevine acquired it, and moved it to the museum area downtown. And they did an outstanding job of restoring it to a 1920s school house.

This is Mrs. Barbarian's shot of another building there, an old cotton gin office:

Yeah, hers is better, but I tell her that's only because I did the processing.

Beautiful!

Having restored many an old home, I highly appreciate the work that went into both of these buildings to bring them back to historical appearance. The floors are amazing!

Both you and Mrs Barbarian take great pictures
