A little blast from the past. Bell Telephone used to be the only way to get your telephone service. Boy, has that changed. Beautiful door and great find.
I have this image of a smart, Corps of commissionaires guy in his uniform behind the door, politely asking my business!
Nice shot Red Pat.
Gorgeous carving and a lovely addition over the door, we have a rather ornamented Bell Telephone building here too.
SO cool!
Beautiful find Pat, I enjoyed Gringo's comment..I got that image in my mind also :)
Beautiful entrance. At first I didn't recognize the place but then it rang a bell.
It's too bad Ma Bell isn't what she used to be! Now it's a call centre located who knows where!
Beautiful building.
Love all the details!
It's beautiful!
A kiss.
I really like it when they don't skimp on details.
You have stumbled upon a bit of history. The telephone was invented in Canada by Alexander Graham Bell of course.
Lovely ornate surround. Wonder what the original door looked like?
Quite a doorway!
With that bell, there can't be much doubt about whose building it was, can there?
And, yes, we spent an afternoon at the Gardini part of the Biennale. (The other main part is in the Arsenale.) It was quite striking, even though lots of the art was not to my taste. But, where else do you find a city park completely given over to art?
That's a beautiful old door. I love the bell!
It's lovely.
That is a tastefully carved doorway
Nice Capture!
Amazingly intricate detail, someone obviously went to a lot of trouble there. Wonderful!
A beautiful door it is!
And now, when you see a Bell office the sign says simply "Bell". Not nearly as classy as this sign!
Very attractive.
