MMDA-Photos

MMDA-Photos is a collection of our own photographs of structures, mostly American, mostly built between the years 1830 and 1930, and most designed using the Western classical language of architecture. We took the earliest photos in 1994, but proceeded more in earnest in New York in the years 2018–19, then in New England during the "Covid Years" of 2020–22.

We created this page and began uploading on October 16, 2023, and as of April 16, 2024 have uploaded 383 photos.
