Walking Around Historic Downtown Frankfort, Kentucky






I admire the utilitarian
architecture in Historic
Frankfort.







This building has elements of the Federal Architectural Style.






The peaked roof of a Gothic
Revival home shares a street
 with a modern steel &
glass building.









A Georgian Style

The wrought iron porch
& balcony remind me of
the French Quarter in 
New Orleans, Louisiana.













Daddy's Spot

It's nice to have reserved
 parking in a busy
downtown.







The third floor of this building
is an homage to Victorian Era
mansard roof.




















I am a fan of the Shamrock
shaped windows in the
"gables" of this building.

The third floor windows
combine circular &
rectangular windows.





The corner door & windows
draw the visitor's eye.












This stone building is
solidly built.











Many buildings in Historic
Frankfort have been restored &
 renovated for modern uses.




 




I see a number of corniced
buildings in the downtown
business area.

This type of building was
very popular in the late
1800s & early 1900s.

This Little Free Library
encourages passersby to
take a book & leave a book
for others to read.
