Day Ninety-eight - "Architecturally Yours". . .

Okay, maybe that was a little tough. The shaker-type building houses one of the four paintings of “Pickett’s Charge” originally painted by Paul Philippoteaux in the 1880s. But only two survived – the Boston and Chicago versions. Boston’s was purchased for display in Gettysburg. In 2008 a new building to house the three-ton painting was completed. The painting measures 359’ long and 42’ high! Here is one picture from the overall scene. It is an amazing take-in. . .
