I was going to get a shot of the big door that everyone sees from the street, but that would have required bringing keys outside to get back in (which, of course, I had forgotten).The first picture is just inside the door. Although you can't see it from the picture, there's a big sign (kind of) on the left side that explains the history of this particular address. I haven't taken the time to translate all of it, but I think it basically starts with the owners from the 1500's.
.The second picture is from the end of the overhang - probably 10 feet from the statue. It appears from the reading on the wall that this area was at one point three houses, and the second picture is showing the second house that's in the middle of the area.
The third picture is showing basically the front door to our apartment. It's way in the back with the red door. The place to the right of the red door is a book repair shop.
Obviously they don't really get too much walk-in business - I suppose repairing a book really isn't an impulse buy. You can also start to see on the left of the red door a building, which has the architecture firm.The last and final picture shows the office on the left and a closer look at our front door. It does kind of look like we're slammed in there (which we probably are), and it also helps to explain why we really don't have any windows on the first floor. If you remember from the previous post about the roof access
to the outside, that's going to be on top of the book binding business. Luckily I don't think that we'll be using the roof during business hours..
