Hi Cynthia,

I hope that you are able to help save the building; it would be a
shame for it to be razed.

Great work for a first site. The basic page design works very well
for the subject; I like your background, and the color lends itself
well to the lovely photos. Your brick-color title seems to clash as
does the gold separator bar just a bit. I would consider going with
black for your titles. Then perhaps brick/brown for link colors as
it seems to work much better with those than the blue does. I'm not
sure you even need the separator bar.

It would be nice to have links to the main pages at the bottom of
each main page. Also, it would be handy to have next and previous
links on all the large photograph pages so one would not need to
keep hitting back.

For some reason the the top photo on the front page loaded very
slowly even though it did not have a large file size. The 2nd photo
on that page is a bit big at 44kb, but I didn't see it until after
it had loaded because it was pretty far down the page.

On the photos page, there are a few photos that seem to have a dark
line going down the left side - perhaps this is from scanning and
you can crop them just a little on the left. At least one of the
large photos has this effect on one side. Also, the South View
(Front) photo has a blue border around it, which none of the others
have.

Some of the photo pages have a little black line along the border
about halfway down the page - I'm not sure what that is from.

There were a few broken links, but I did not keep track of which
ones - but I got the impression you knew that so I am not too
worried about those.

Good luck with the site - I hope to see it again after you have
made some changes. I hope that I have been of some help to you.

Regards,
Joanne Fate
