March 8: International Women's Day
From the Monte Vista Hotel, you see these two sedate buildings, with similar finishes.
But go around the other side of them, and there are interesting fences and siding on balconies, with windows looking west toward the view down the hill.
The next building down that hill (on West State St. in Black Mountain NC) is now a boutique hotel called Peri. It used to be an event location, with pretty red brick walls, called the White Rabbit. But it was empty for years, and the new owners painted everything black!
There were many construction crew members who did the work on both these sets of buildings, and I don't think they are finished in Peri yet.
The building was for sale for quite a long while, here seen in its former colors.
Today's quote:
Gratitude situates one well to know what can be and must be done to challenge inequity. It situates one to see opportunity where others see despair.

Last year my blog shared about Women in History...also on my other blog When I Was 69...31 different women featured throughout the month of March.
They are beautiful buildings, I like that fence! Take care, have a great day and happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming over to read my blog, Eileen!
Delete...I like the new color best.
ReplyDeleteI don't. My choice would have been to go white. Or yellow.
DeleteBlack buildings seem to be popular these days.
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely! I wish I liked to travel...
ReplyDeleteI forgot to celebrate Intl Womens Day. I had noted that it was coming, but when it got here, my mind was elsewhere.
