As something of an armchair historian, I love seeking out places like those pictured in these National Register Of Historic Places Art Prints. These buildings and parks capture the heritage of our collected history in the United States. From simple homes to famous bridges and lighthouses, and more, these sites have been recognized as historically significant to our American story. I’ve only scratched the surface of our US heritage sites, but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed capturing the sense of these historic places. These prints are a beautiful slice of Americana that makes for memorable wall art.
Tybee Island Lighthouse – Georgia Coast Art Print by Mark Tisdale On my first morning on the Georgia Coast, I made a beeline for Tybee Lighthouse. I had seen the historic light the night before, so this was my first daylight view of the towering and historic light station. The soft morning light in this…
If you’ve ever been to New York City, there’s little doubt you took the time to visit one of its most famous citizens, the Statue of Liberty. Rising out of the waters of the harbor, she’s a most majestic sight to say the least! Prior to my first actual visit, I had seen the Statue…
Granted, The Statue of Liberty alone qualifies as patriotic art, but I wanted this artwork to go a step further, and I think you would agree the result is bold and colorful! This print is based on my first in person view of Lady Liberty rising out of the waters of New York Harbor. As…
I’ve mentioned before that I keep a list of subjects people ask about and University of Georgia prints have been on that list for awhile now. But these things come as time allows and inspiration hits. But the motivation was high because I had people actually coming to my website and searching for University of…
I think there are some old landmarks that we fall in love with as much for the idea as the physical architecture. Granted, the Brooklyn Bridge is a great piece of architecture. Everything I’ve read suggests that it was way over-engineered but it was built to last the ages. Would New York City be the…
Before my my visit to historic Salem, Massachusetts, I had no idea they had a beautiful tall ship moored at Derby Wharf in the heart of the old town. I had never heard of the Friendship of Salem at all, but that beautiful boat was practically worth the visit to Salem alone. It turns out…
During most of my years in the Atlanta area, I lived near Roswell and the old walking trails around the historic Roswell Mill were among my favorite haunts. And you can probably tell from this print that when the fall colors were on the trees, it was an especially nice place to wander! Hard to…
Since these small town streets are in my own home town, I may be a bit biased, but for me this is classic America. When I think of small towns, streets like this lined with old shops and period architecture are what come to mind. And Cherry Street in downtown Montezuma is a listed US…
I can’t put my finger on why, but I love the sight of a classic streetcar rolling down the street. Bonus points if the street in question happens to be paved in cobblestones. And to top it off, the streetcar that runs down Riverstreet in Savannah is in the late Art Deco style of Streamline…
Hay House is sometimes called the Palace of The South, and certainly it is palatial in design, wouldn’t you agree? This gorgeous piece of historic Macon, Georgia, was built by William Butler Johnston for his wife Anne. The couple honeymooned in Europe from 1855 to 1859, and it should be evident that part of that…
I truly love featuring historic places like Key West’s Sloppy Joe’s Bar. For those not familiar with the history of Key West, this was a haunt of Ernest Hemingway himself. The present bar on Duval Street and the original on Green Street were both owned by one of Hemingway’s friends, Joe Russell. In fact, it’s…
Perhaps I am not impartial since I grew up in Montezuma, but this neoclassical plantation style gem is the epitome of the old south to me. I half expect a southern belle to descend the steps, don’t you? It’s truly a classic plantation style house that conjures memories of gracious southern living. Don’t you think?…
This print of the Wheatley Administration Building on the campus of Georgia Southwestern State University in Americus is a special one to me. After all, this is where I spent my undergrad years in college! Well, not in this building of course, but I certainly think it represents the campus in my mind. Georgia Southwestern…
This Chicago Theatre Marquee Blueprint art is an homage not only to the famous sign that hangs over that Chicago landmark but to the beautiful design style of many of the classic marquees from the same era. There’s a reason that movie theaters today are often built with a similar style. It has a look…
Several years ago I spent a couple of nights in Asheville, North Carolina. I was on a road trip bound for Virginia. In the end, as is often the case for me, I wished I had more time to explore the city. As you can tell from this print I was quite inspired by the…
Asheville is one of those unexpected treasures you discover. I had heard about Biltmore Estate of course and wanted to visit that gracious old estate. As I was heading to Virginia I decided that a couple of nights in Asheville wasn’t entirely out of the way. On my first evening in North Carolina, as I…
There are some buildings and places that stick with us from an early age. For me, the Windsor Hotel, seen in this print, fits that category. Although I didn’t grow up in Americus, Georgia, it was near my hometown. So near in fact, that I later attended and graduated from the local university in Americus….
I especially love old train stations like the Marshallville Depot seen in this print. They were built in a period of history when even relatively utilitarian buildings still had style and craftsmanship. It was also a time when small towns were still the hub of an agricultural economy. These days these old railroad depots are…
Can you imagine anything more classically New England than this historic Salem print? The beautiful red Georgian house doesn’t just have that New England feel, it has a genuine pedigree as the Nathaniel Hawthorne birthplace. Hard to get more New England than that, eh? I stumbled over this beautiful red house bathed in golden winter…
I had a great sunny winter afternoon for my visit to Salem, Massachusetts and I had the chance to take in the sights like the beautiful old Custom House when things were a bit more low-key. I have my suspicions, anyway, that January is not quite so busy as some other times of the year…
The Chicago Theatre Sign hangs above a familiar 20th century story that played out across many American cities. It’s a tale of a grand old movie palace that flourished, floundered, and was then reborn. The Chicago Theatre opened in 1921 and like many of its era was purpose built for both live performances and movies….
Is the design of the building pictured here familiar? If so, it’s because the Atlanta Flatiron shares its architecture with the more famous Flatiron Building in New York City. The Atlanta Flatiron, formally known as the English-American Building, is actually a few years older than its famous sibling. This little Flatiron was only Atlanta’s second…
On my last trip to Boston, I discovered that Salem was an easy train ride away! With it’s rich history, Salem had always been on the increasingly-large list of places I wanted to see. That was in no small part due to Salem’s literary heritage. This print of the famous House Of The seven Gables…
Boston was always on my list of places to see. What I had seen and heard about Boston intrigued me. I love cities with rich, long histories. When the fates aligned to give me the chance to see Boston first-hand, I was not disappointed. On my first afternoon roaming the Boston Harbor waterfront I happened…
When I lived in Alpharetta, Georgia, one of my favorite walks concluded at the old Roswell Mill Dam on Vickery Creek. It was hard for me to believe that such a beautiful little oasis existed in Atlanta’s metro area. Walking along the trails leading to Roswell Mill Dam it was easy to forget the freeways…
There’s something magical about lighthouses, and if you dropped by to see this Pensacola lighthouse artwork, then I suspect you have the same feeling? And for me personally, there’s something special about the Florida coast. My family was originally from south Alabama so even though I grew up in Georgia, there was many a summer…
It still amazes me how timeless Colonial Williamsburg can feel. Just look at this photo taken from near Palace green. If the print was yellowed and tattered, you would easily think it could be from a hundred years ago! Between the classic colonial architecture and the world done to make Colonial Williamsburg feel authentic, it…
Sometimes small details can be quite eye-catching as in this print of the Palace Walls and a peek at the Governor’s Palace in Williamsburg, Virginia. The view from a distance down Palace Green is utterly different. Beautiful of course as the palace is a great Georgian building, but seen from this perspective, the palace walls…
Colonial Williamsburg is peppered with buildings that have their places in the history books. I visited this area of Virginia because of my personal family ties to nearby Jamestown, but for any history buff, Williamsburg is a must visit. It’s simply one of those places where you feel you are walking in history. Perhaps it’s…
It’s funny how some places become rooted in the past. A lot of the English villages that are so popular with tourists today are the ones that fell on hard times in the past and never modernized. Now they have a quaint charm that speaks to many of us. Yet it was a period of…
