the pictures were very intersting to me. something that struck me interesting was the different between the houses in the cities and those in the country. in the towns people seems to live so close to one another and i am guessing it is because towns were very populated. then in the country people live farther apart and have more land. something i was wondering is if people in the country have more money then those in the city? there is also a big difference in the interior decoration of people that have money and those that dont. the furnature is more ellaborate alond with the rugs and walls. then looking at the picture from the farm house the walls are bare and without barely any furniture.
i found the chirches interesting as well because of the construction of the buildings. when looking at christs church. the outside structure is very ellaborate with the windows and pillars,but then on the inside there are no paintings on the walls and the inside looks very plain. then looking at the Quaker church the entire building inside and out seems rather plain. does that have to do with money or location of thecurch?
lately Benjamin Rush had extremely unique ideas about mentally handicapped individuals. the chair doesnt look like anything i would want to sit in. What was the purpose of the chair? it appears that people that were thought to hae problems were greatly seperated from society.
