There used to be large Dutch wooden shoes near the windmill. I think my grandmother took pictures of me sitting in them.
ReplyDeleteWhat's all the hoopla about this terrace I don't remember? Is it what became the shops and entrance area?
I'd forgotten about the shoes. I remember sitting in them as well.
ReplyDeleteYes, the terrace is where the entrance plaza and shops were later. I believe this building was still slightly visible and the others were built around it but I'm not totally sure since I haven't been there in years.
I decided to revisit these posts after our recent Southern Belles discussion, and was surprised to see the young lady posing on the brick walkway near the pink azaleas is obviously wearing some kind of hoop skirt under her blue dress. I also seem to remember seeing some wearing cameo chokers. I guess to a certain degree there was an attempt to suggest mid-nineteenth century fashion.
