Thanks so much for a peek at the Italianate houses on your site. I am trying to decide whether or not to tackle a renovation/preservation of a lovely Italianate place in Bloomfield. Site has been an inspiration! If you would like to see the place and can suggest others I might like to see don't hesitate to email me at --------.

Hi Joani, I am glad that my site was a help to you and of course I am always happy to know that another old historic structure is going to be preserved. Thanks for the invite and I might take you up on it sometime. A trip to Madison Indiana might be inspiring.

Danke für die wundervollen Bilder von spring mill village, ich liebe diese alten Häuser und die Atmosphäre, die in deinen Bildern zu spüren ist, viele Grüsse, Judy

Thank you for the wonderful pictures of spring mill village, I love these old houses and the atmosphere that can be felt in your paintings, many greetings, Judy

It is nice to hear from you Judy and I am glad you enjoyed the photographs.

 I am proud to have been born in the beautiful town of Connersville. I recognize the building that shows the Fayette County Republican Party headquarters on the ground floor from my early years when it was the Readmore bookstore as of circa 1990. My major area of interest is architecture, especially period styles. You have captured lots of interesting details in your photographs, which I must say are artfully mastered. These old buildings represent true American spirit and the value of small businesses, and you have included quite a few that are interesting.

Hi Justin, thanks for the compliment and I am glad you found my site. It is always good to know that someone enjoys and appreciates my work. I like Connersville and it has some nice historical structures.

What a wonderful site! I love the sites in Indiana. Plan to get over there soon to see the Pioneer Village. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Debra, thanks for the nice comment! I am sure you will enjoy the village.

Hi, I don't know if you remember me from I-draw-and-paint.com, but I thought I would check back here to see what you have been up to. I really do like the composition of your photos. I am back into learning about photography and bought my first DSLR.

Hi Mary, your name is familiar but I couldn't find you on the art forum. Thanks for the compliment on my work and I wish you well with your photography. I wouldn't mind having a DSLR.

Thank you for capturing some iconic images from my home town and county! You photographed some areas that I am very familiar with and grew up seeing everyday. Unfortunately I don't live there any more but these pictures took me back. They are wonderful! Thank you!

I I am glad you enjoyed the photographs Ginger!

Love your website. Beautiful photos.

Thank you very much Michelle!

Hi, These are such beautiful pictures and I was glad to be able to view them to get some ideas for my own home and carriage house as far as colors and landscaping. Very nice.

Steve, Great photos. I grew up in New Castle, Indiana. My father was from rural Rush and Fayette Counties. I really enjoyed the rural photos.

Loved your pictures, too bad all the barns are in such bad repair and falling down.

Hi Steve, You are so generous to share your wonderful photos. I loved the Spring Mill photos and have put it on our list of places to camp. Also love your barns and historical comments.

Thank you so much for this website. I grew up in Hancock County and Greenfield. (Born in Greenfield in 1954.) When I get home sick, I know where to visit. I grew up on West Main Street across from the McCully home so the trip along Main Street was awesome. I have to correct one thing though. While visiting the rural part of  of your tour, Wilkerson is actually Wilkinson. My parents and grandparents are buried in the Wilkinson Cemetery.  I recognized the large old school there. Thanks again for the wonderful photos and information attached.

Hi Steve, thank you for the pictures of Winchester. The court house is being renovated with a new addition. We have also got a new clock tower. A lot of the store fronts are being redone. Please visit out town again. Once again, thank you.

Hello Steve. You have done a nice job on your website. You may want to update the picture and description of the Randall building. Posh Salon has been there for about a year and a half. The building has bee re-painted also. Thanks for building such an informative website about the city of Greenfield.

I love the barns. Great eye. Keep up the great work.

Thank you Edward!

My husband found this site and was quite surprised to see a picture of our house! Your last picture is ours. We would love to provide additional info and contacts for info on several of the other houses if you're interested.

Nice website....!!! Thanks for all your efforts to make it such an enjoyable site to visit. I grew up in Knightstown in the 40's and 50's and it was a wonderful place back then..!! Still is...!! Thanks again.

You did a great job on the pics, it's so nice to look back and remember where you grew up at. Would love to see even more as we have such a beautiful town. Thank you again for your time and hard work. Mary Jane York-Nepstad, formerly from Knightstown, Indiana.

The woman in the photo in front of 656 Main Street is my mother, Sandra Colwell. We remember when you  were here taking the pictures, and we agree, they are very nice photos.

Thank you for putting this on here. I'm from Milroy, my husband is from Hartford City, Indiana. He joined the army in 1975 and he was in for 21 1/2 years so we have been away from Indiana for 36 years and I miss a lot of the old things so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Being raised in Rush County I have enjoyed your pictures. I plan to spend more time looking at more pictures. Thank you so much for posting them.

Thank you, your work is truly amazing! You have done such wonderful work with a camera! I love the fact you share it with all of us! Thanks again!

I loved your photos of Frankfort. My family lived there from the 1930's until the late 1960's. I had moved away and missed it terribly. I now take vacations and drive around Indiana and specifically Frankfort and take pictures of houses etc. Thank you for your work.

Found some old photo's at a swap meet in California, they said A.J. Banks 1831-1912. We were so pleased to see that the old towered house is still around. Thanks for the current beautiful photos.

Steve: Outstanding photos of the village in which I work as the mill interpreter. Its history captures emotions at times. Your photo work is highly complimentary to the ville past. Thank you.

We visited Springmill Pioneer Village last weekend with our Boy Scout troop. I think I saw every one of your photos and read every word. I find it fascinating to imagine life in those times. Thanks.

Thank you, Steve, for showing us the beauty of this neighborhood...and most of all for allowing me to share your handsome shots of Ovid Butler's "Forest Home" about which I had read so much. He is part of my family...and I am delighted to see how fine it is. THANKS again, Cerelle.

I stumbled onto your site while looking for images of old Victorian homes. I found the photos of Lockerbie Square and was mesmerized. They are simply lovely. What a wonderful idea to create a website with photos of your beautiful state. Thank you for sharing!.

I actually live in what I like to call the Bermuda Triangle. If you draw a line that connects Brookville, Metamora and Laurel you'll fine me right on the center. I've lived on the same road all 30 years of my life. I enjoyed viewing your pictures of those areas and will continue to reruse the rest of your site in my free time.

II have long admired your work, especially your pen and ink of courthouses and have several: Marion, Tippecanoe, Hancock, Hamilton, Rush, Johnson and Bartholomew. Also of the Anthenaeum and City Market. Purchased and displayed in my court reporting office for 30 years. Now retired. Looking for a new home for such beautiful art pieces. I recall meeting you in Greenfield back when you and I didn't have any gray hair.

What a wonderful website! You are doing an outstanding job and are performing a service to our state in helping preserve it's beauty. I would love to have you come to Carthage and take many more photos. My husband and I live in an 1850's home and are very much into Carthage and Rush County History.

II would like to see Winchester because of your pictures.

I love the photos you have taken. My curiosity is up. Can I ask what camera you are using, I like to read about the cameras when the photos taken with them are wonderful. I also love to take photos of everyday items just because and then make a collage that really looks good to my eye.

Caught your site when it was submitted to my directory. Normally I don't accept sub-domain submissions but my attention was caught. Being a bit of a history buff and enjoy good photography I was impressed. Added as a premium listing and also added as premium to my paid directory @ quhl.com under Arts/Photography. Great stuff.

Spent a nice interlude on your pages. Thank you. Wish the winters weren't so cold in Indiana. Otherwise it would be a nice place to retire. Good Luck with your painting.

Thank you for showing me the beautiful art work up close.

Hi Steve, I really enjoyed my visit to your new website. Fantastic photos what portrait so much more then just what you see in them. They tell a story, even if it is a sad one at times. I will definitely be back. 

I stumbled onto your new site, it's coming along nicely. Good Luck, look forward to some more awesome pics & keep up the great work!

Thanks very much Nick....good to hear from you.

Love this site, good luck with it!

Thanks Nancy, I'm happy that you like it. Come back and visit again.
