I feel like I'm building a story with the last couple of squint shots. Two days ago, a doorway was shown were I supposed members may have entered the building through a third floor entrance, walked along a hallway (yesterday's squint shot), and, with today's pictures, this is the peephole to give identification through. Could I be right? The first picture is for the entrant and the second photograph shows the paddle that would be swung aside for the one allowing entrance to the room.
This may seem like a rather strange picture, but I couldn't resist. As with the door sill in the basement that was shown quite a few squint shots back, this is worn wood, walked on, and chunked away after years of feet moving through this narrow room. As with yesterday's shot, I have wondered if the doorway at the southeast corner of the building was the entrance for members for their meetings, was this the hallway they used to get to the ballroom?
On the third floor of the Harmon Building there is a door at the southeast corner of the building. It is securely shut by this latch and a metal cord because, if you head outside, there is the door but no stairway. It makes one wonder what the staircase looked like -- was it a fire escape or was it a back entrance for the members for their meetings?
Instead of a recipe today, here is some trivia --Bread is a basic food made from a flour-and-water dough, normally with yeast, baked in an oven. No other food is as redolent of myth, rite, and tradition as bread. Central to meals until almost the end of the second millennium (more so than meat), it is indeed the 'staff of life.' Breadmaking dates back to at least 9000 BC; the first breads were cooked on heated bakestones, many of which survive. The invention of leavened bread (around 5000 BC) is attributed to the Egyptians, who made bread from millet and barley and may have discovered fermentation by chance when a piece of dough became sour. In the Middle Ages, the bakery trade developed in diversity and complexity. Part of the baker's art is the careful choice of ingredients and the manipulation of factors such as oven temperature, length of baking time, and humidity, all of which affect the crumb, thickness, and quality of bread crust.
A window within the third floor is what I found in the Harmon building. On the third floor, after checking out the suitcase shown in yesterday's squint shot, I turned back around in this small room at the north side of the building and found this partially opened pass-through. The small drinking fountain can be seen in the other room, which was a squint shot a few days ago. So, I wonder, which room was the kitchen, if there was one? Was one room a small dining room? Oh the questions.
Someone's old, leather suitcase sits quietly in a corner, opened with a few odds and ends in the bottom -- on the third floor of the Harmon building. I could build a whole fictional story around it, but that would only temporarily ease my curiosity. I wonder who it belonged to, did it get used for interesting travels, is the owner still around and just doesn't know the suitcase is there?
