Frankfort, KY

We took a tour of the Capital Building in Frankfort, KY. There were lots of statutes..lots of marble...a lovely old building with an impressive garden from the front steps.

We took a walk in Frankfort, KY---we parked at the Visitors Center and walked to the Capital Building---about 5 blocks and after the tour of the Capital, walked back but one street over. I took about 40 pictures of the lovely homes that had been restored or refurbished. There were a variety of styles---Victorian...Mission...bungalows---more pictures than you would want to see on a blog.




This home is on the National Registry. The Reverend that had it built met Frank Lloyd Wright on a cruise in 1912. He came home, hired a builder and had this home constructed in what is known as the Prairie Style. The second shot is of the side of the house and the porch areas. It actually looks pretty modern in comparison to the homes in the area.
The Happy Travelers received some very sad news...Grandpa Holt fell and will be having surgery so it is imperative that we hurry home. This will be our last blog until next spring when hopefully, we will be on the road again. There is so much to see....so many people to meet...Enjoy and may God bless each of you as He has so graciously blessed us.
