Fish Out of Water

Musings about life & travel from an East Coast native living on the Left Coast in the CA State Capitol since 2004 and now also spending time at a home-away-from-home in Evanston, IL. This fish has lived in Madison, WI (7 years); Portland, OR (2 years); Las Vegas, NV (7 months); Middlebury, VT (3 summers); Marne-la-Vallee, a small town east of Paris, France (6 months); Middletown, CT (3 years); & Marshfield, MA, the fish's coastal hometown 40 miles south of Boston (17 years).

Day 144: Lewis Apartments on N Street

Another lovely older residential building near the Capitol is Lewis Apartments, located on the corner of 11th & N Streets:






I'm especially fond of the graceful archways at the top of the stairs that lead to an impressive front entry door and lovely lobby area:




The interiors of the apartments maintain their historical character, with lots of built-in storage and interesting detailing:


I couldn't find any information online about the history of this site or building, unfortunately, so I don't know how long it's been in existence or if it used to serve another purpose.  Regardless, I very much enjoy passing by it during my morning bike commute to work.
