This is the first CURVED GLASS sash window I’ve ever seen. Note the stained glass transom on top. It’s in the VFW hall which is a beautiful historic building in San Antonio. The pedestal bathroom sink is also in this building

I love VFW halls and I’m happy to hear that this one still has its vintage roots. Is most of it original or have they fussied (and screwed) it up over the years? Do you know when the building was built? And are there other historic businesses in there?
The windows are fabulous. That’s when they used to spend money and time on such things.
I love that sink! There was one in an apartment I used to live in in NY like that. So big and grand. 1930’s I think.

A lot of the place is still original, some may have been updated for safety & maintenance purposes but there’s still a beautiful staircase & wraparound porch upstairs AND downstairs. I think there’s a little “bar” opened up in what may have been a parlor. They have a huge “ballroom” upstairs that they rent out for small parties like bridal showers or such. Still, the overall theme is honoring all the American Heroes, past & present. It’s a stunning building.

sorry, not sure when it was built. I’ll sure find out & post!

Snap some more photos of the building details whenever you’re there next if you have a chance.

I love that little ship S&P shaker. Here’s my post about it a while ago: https://www.alleewillis.com/blog/?s=maritime&x=0&y=0
The little green shoe is a perfect size spoon holder. It’s in constant use.

Wonder why this turned up under the wrong post?

Ah ha! THANKS for alerting me! I’ll tell you why… Because I’m an idiot!! I was racing this morning trying to get new things up in the Museum before a whole series of meetings began and I had a bunch of windows open on my computer and guess I didn’t check where I was leaving the comment. That S&P comment goes here: https://www.alleewillis.com/awmok/kitschenette/2011/06/10/dennys-adventures-in-allee-willis-willis-wonderland-part-139-august-2010/
Thank you, Lisa! It’s been pasted in the right page now but I also left it here in case anyone else read it before you did.

You are anything BUT an idiot. You’re the best!

Thank you, Lisa! Good to hear today after the meetings I just endured (and am still enduring).
