Along Kingston, New York's Wall Street the remains of 19th century prosperity and enterprise are slowly being brought back to life. These fanciful Victorian sheet metal cornices were once all the rage. The more imaginative the better. Many of these were covered over or modernized in the 1940's and 50's. Now the originals are once again emerging from hiding. They were often multi colored.
These Hudson River port towns were once humming with river traffic both passenger and commercial. Cement and limestone for Manhattan skyscrapers came from Kingston. This town was once the capitol Of New York State before Albany.

Hello, and thank-you for taking time to visit my web site. As a long time illustrator specializing in pen and ink, photography developed as a means for me to become expressive in color. My specialty as a line artist has always been history and architecture. I've created series for major companies, publishers, and cultural institutions throughout the United States. Take time to visit some of my galleries. I welcome commissions such as house portraits and hobby related subject matter. Again, take a peek at the galleries to get a better idea. I hope that you enjoy both means of expression and visit often. Thanks, Ira Shander
