This beautiful pair of buildings is really all one...and for sale. It's been several different things, including a funeral home, and I hope it gets re-purposed into something wonderful! A friend and her husband owned it and had hoped to make it a restaurant and event center, but life intervened...
So this is one of the sketches I did for the Art of Urban Sketchers show at the Ackland Museum in North Carolina, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The show benefits both Urban Sketchers and the museum, with donated works by USk correspondents. I hope you can get there! (There will be more on this soon...)
The overhangs above the doors are really a choice element in this, indeed beautiful, building. Lovely sketch, Cathy! Great addition to the Ackland show. Looking forward to seeing more.
ReplyDeleteGreat, Cathy
ReplyDeleteIt's a charmer all right! Wouldn't it have been a great little gourmet restaurant??
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a country inn in France I once stayed at.
DeleteWe have an amazing mix of architecture in this town!
DeleteWish I could get there! Great sketch and a great idea for a show!
ReplyDeleteThanks Barbara, I think it's going to be a wonderful show...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as always Kate!!
ReplyDeleteLovely! So excited this is coming to Chapel Hill. Will it be a full show--it is not listing in upcoming exhibitions on their website--I hope they will put it on so folks will be aware. Thanks for the heads up.
ReplyDeleteIt will actually be in the museum store, Robyn...I hope they put it on the website soon, though.
