Architectural Salvage


 A collection of remnants rests, half forgotten, on the edge of property owned by a museum. Weeds grow among the stone columns and lamp posts. Dentils carved in scrolls and leaves support nothing. Terra cotta ladies stair up at the ever changing sky, hair flowing among the creeping greenery. They are survivors from a more elegant, more decorated age, waiting to be discovered and repurposed.
