Architectural detailing

Whilst staying in Providence, I rented a studio flat near Brown University. The flat is a conversion from a beautiful old New England style home that is filled with the most lovely detailing.

The flat is converted from what I imagine was originally the drawing room. It is the two windows on the ground floor to the right of the front door in the above photo.

Beautiful mouldings and detailing on walls and door architraves...

Original bathroom floor tiling...

...and beautiful ironwork at the front entrance. Somehow I don't think my Hampton Inn accommodation on my next stop will have quite as much charm...
