Magnificent old Live Oak trees provide deep shade in the park square for those sultry Southern summer days.
We celebrated Walter's birthday by having lunch at Jamie's, a famous French restaurant, and then meandered over to Dhrama Blue's for the best cheesecake we have ever eaten.
Fragrant Jasmin was everywhere in downtown Pensacola.
This was considered a middle class home in the 1800s. A tug boat captain and his family were the owners of this home. Guests were not allowed in the private spaces of the home--the upstairs, kitchen and "family room". These curtain would be closed to prevent guests from entering the family room or kitchen. Guests were only permitted in the dinning room and living room.
One of the earliest sewing machines with foot pedal action. Below, the stove is used to heat two irons that share one handle so that ironing became "easier" from earlier when only one iron could be heated over the fire to heat and reheat to continue ironing.
The above is a glass model of the Maine US Steamship with the inscription "Remember the Maine" because citizens were told by the warmongering media and the government that the death of its sailors in an explosion while anchored off Havana was the result of a Spanish attack on the ship - this was the "Gulf of Tonkin (in Vietnam)" - like trigger the US used to justify war on Spain. It has now come to light that the ship was not attacked by Spain, but equipment in the engine room blew up and caused the sinking.
The techniklavier above is a silent piano; so called, because it has a very quiet sound for practicing and not disturbing others. It has removable legs and closes-up into a box so the pianist could take it with her while traveling. A grand piano was in another part of the house.
Above is the dressing table for the lady of the house. Below, in the 1800s, is when the first in-house kitchens became popular with safer stoves and the availability of an ice box.
