Wadsworthy

Right inside that door (as I recall) is the most fabulous display of medieval armour, along with a painting of some saint's head on a serving plate. The place haunts me to this day (in a good way now).

When I was a "yout".

Back in the 50's we spent many days wandering around the Atheneum, even in some places we probably were not allowed to be in. It was very educational.

Inspiration

Almost looks like the inspiration for the Corps of Engineer insignia. Glad it's still with us.

Still There
