Toby hosts the fun meme Whimsical Windows/Delirious Doors. Our task is to find interesting architectural gems. As many know, I have posted this before and still like the old scanned pics from distant eras.
The time is 1956, the place is the New Jersey shore, the pre-superstorm Sandy and pre-casino Atlantic City. The hotels built long ago have an architectural charm, such as opening windows and no air-conditioning in the rooms no longer seen. And the names, such as Brighton and Traymore seem a throwback to a simpler time, and both long gone. The gentleman is my grandfather who trekked often from Ohio for a family visit to the briny paradise. Casinos seem more a draw than the wavy Atlantic...

Buildings that show more wall than windows are much more attractive in my book.
LOVE this Ralph...your grandfather looks like he was quite the traveler ~ of course, that's what we Buckeyes love to do :)
You look just like him!
Great windows, too - it really is refreshing to see something both classic and classy!
