Architectural Ornaments have embellished fine architecture since man first began to construct important buildings. The ornamental objects can be carved from stone, wood or precious metals, or be intricate ways of laying brick to support windows, doorways and roofs. Modern architecture has simplified buildings, eliminating these details that traditionally enhanced a structure. The poster provides great photographs of small architectural details on some of New London’s historic buildings to call attention to those places passed each day, but not really looked at. Landmarks encouraged the production of this poster in the hopes it would inspire people to enjoy the splendid buildings in the Downtown Waterfront District. We have great architectural treasures here—take a closer look! Posters are for sale at Yah-Ta-Hey Galleries, Studio 33 and the Landmarks office. $5.00.
