Spatially


During my trip to Hastings on Monday,  I walked by this boutique.  The fancy dress? shorts? outfit in front caught my eye.  It reminded me of something that would be worn in the "roaring 20s."  Then I noticed all the clouds reflected in the windows and the juxtaposition inspired me to take a couple shots.

Four façades from my trip to Hastings yesterday.


I love the flowery medallions on this building!

Governmentally


This beautiful building was built in 1871.  Since 1993, it's been home to Hastings City Hall.  Before that, it was the Dakota County Courthouse.


The dome was installed during a renovation in 1912.

Exteriorly


Three more façades from Mankato's Old Town district.  This one was built for Wenzl Huettl's tailor shop in 1891.


This one was built for Bernard Koehler's Boots and Shoes shop in 1888.


I wasn't able to find information on this building.
