A Tiffany Art Glass Surprise!

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

The Curtis Building is located at 601 Walnut St, Philadelphia, PA 19106 and is open to the public. It is completely free to enter the lobby and enjoy Dream Garden up close and personal. Thank you for taking the time to watch and hopefully, enjoy. It was my pleasure to share this unique work of art and Philadelphia treasure with you all.

[@danielulz1640]

Scott, thank you so much.

[@helenbailey8419]

Ooo Scott,that was incredible.The buildings,the history.The train.The gateway arch to China town.What a city.No wonder you like it.

[@kathysemrau2301]

Everything is going condo. Some of the old buildings are lucky to still be standing. We have a tendency to get rid of our older buildings in the US. Dream Garden sounds very exciting. Maxfield Parish was so popular in that era. The colors are awesome in a golden tone. Then to have Mr. Tiffany make a Mural of the Parish work is layering genius over genius. Thank the Goddesses and Gods it wasn't destroyed. Stay safe everyone.

First: who would give a thumb down to this video? Maybe they are color blind, I know I am not Don’t believe in bucket lists ( sounds so final) But definitely going to the Curtis, maybe next month !! And look for some of your secret hideouts. Thanks Scott for tonight’s history lesson

[@peggy-ann1961]

I really enjoy the field trips, music, funny inserts and variety. We never know if we’re at the kitchen counter, thrifting, joining you in your living room for a haul or going on a field trip !☺️It’s so obvious how much you love your hometown. You’re great!🇨🇦

[@aliciapilotta5913]

I adore the picture of Christ!! Thanks Scott for another walk around & more knowledge of our Wonderful City!! Sending hugs!! ❤️

[@pamelap.123]

Thank you, Scott- loved this educational video.

[@coraleebaker642]

I just happened on to your wonderful program! I’ll be 90 next year, so loved every moment of this special historical trip! Why, O why do “they” have to destroy the beautiful past?! Thank you & may you grow even more successful!

[@becklenstl7443]

Scott, thank you for sharing. Unbelievably beautiful. Enjoyed the voyage you conducted, connecting the art to the artists

[@anothercheryladventure9387]

Yes taffy thank u for showing me around Philly. Did you know that too much black licorice is bad 4 u? Saw it on another KZbin God Bless💗💕💜

[@justynejaniszewski4626]

Thanks. Learned more about my fav design period. Love black licorice but read too much increases high blood pressure. There was an ice cream shop in New Hope PA that made black licorice flavor. It was gray but wonderful taste.

[@creationspast.janebowell1903]

Absolutely love the WW1/ religious print ,"The Return". Great video , thank you ! Spent many hours in the Met for Tiffany windows.

[@bobbiegambarini4752]

Yes please. More of buildings like this. Have always liked Maxfield Parrish and L. C. Tiffany. Enjoy architecture of this period.

[@dewdrop3302]

Thank you Scott for sharing more beauty with us today. It comes in so many forms. Yes black licorice cats in honor of Salem!

[@sandyrobertson2052]

Stunningly beautiful, thank you for taking us along . I absolutely love the print how you find this stuff just amazes me.

[@margaretpetrie4879]

Yes Philly I need to plan a trip soon. Just one thing Scott I need pointers in how not to get parking tickets when I visit. I think when they see a NJ car they start the writing of the tickets in Philly.

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Ha ha ha....just take caution and really read the signs. You'll be just fine.

[@lindajohnson177]

Maxfield Parrish and Tiffany Studios combined to make a mural beyond words! Both were masters of color and light. Thank you so much for the history and beautiful video. Love to watch your treasure finds!

[@kathyprusak2762]

Thank you for the beauty of my life today.

[@sonjagood7305]

💜I love when you take us on the History walks, thanks Scott 💜

[@amyb1]

That was completely wonderful! That shimmering glass must be even more stunning in person. I love the addition of the beautiful period candelabrum and the dripping fountains. A beautiful building too, all that marble reminds me of the old Smithsonian buildings. Thank you for this, and I personally would love to see more field trips!!

[@kathyhodges7054]

I am a chocolate lover. What beautiful building. Would love to see more. Seeing the Liberty Bell is on my wish list. My favorite part of US History is the pre Revolution and the Revolutionary War. I want to see the 13 Orginal Colonies.

[@clove0072]

Scott, what an amazing video!! I live a county over from you and haven’t seen this building. I love going to Termini Bros bakery for cannolis in the Reading Market. Pls do more videos like this. Just wonderful!

[@bookbwitched466]

Gobsmacked thru with the glory. Thank you. Hope you got whatever your sweet heart desires, you deserve it~especially this day.

[@georgannenelson105]

I never had any ties to Philadelphia , but i got married there the first time.. Long story why that came about. We spent almost two weeks walking around the city. That's why I started a small liberty bell collection. This was a great field trip thank you Scott.

[@erics8757]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!!! That mural is phenomenal! I've been to that area in Philly many times and never knew I was a few feet away from that. It's now on my list of things to see in Philly the next time I go. 👍👍👍

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lizagoldman7857]

WOW!!!! You brought the Dream Garden and Curtis Building into my home. How delightful. Thank you

[@dlemke5984]

I look forward to these adventures that accompany your mission to find antiques and vintage goodies. It's fun to go along. You have a way of making it seem like we are there with you. Thanks for all you do.

[@evelynhearnsberger660]

The story behind the Christ Sepia print makes it even more beautiful!💕

[@CREATED4HISGLORY]

Thank you Scott! I loved taking that trip with you! That was a beautiful building and stunning mural! Enjoy your candy!

[@carolynd6610]

Thank you Scott! I always enjoy your tours around Philadelphia.

[@elderlypoodle9181]

I’m in one minute and that Christ sepia is so beautiful. I found the other print by him in my grandmothers items. You just solved yet another mystery. I never thought I would ever know the origin Scott. How amazing to learn this. I must admit my Elderly babysitter in the 60s had a rather frightening murky print of Jesus with a crown of thorns. She scolded me for being upset by it 😯♥️🐩

[@paulagill555]

Thank you for showing this national treasure and saved for everyone to see wonderful.👍😀

[@marybethsmith6458]

This was a wonderful tour and very educational. The art work was exceptionally beautiful. I like black licorice but saltwater Taffy is my favorite.

[@catgivens]

Oh, Scott! This is absolutely lovely! I've never seen Dream Garden before. You are a gem, you know. Enjoy your black licorice... YUM!

[@Miss_Gibbs]

Now we know e we have to make the trek back to Philly! More to see! Can’t wait! I love Maxfield Parrish

[@janetburke2739]

I am blown away by the works of art in the video. The word "exquisite" is not a good enough adjective to describe what you have shown us today. Thank you.

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Wow, thank you!

[@lindapeterson2684]

Really love these field trips around your City….such a treat…..and I still remember one of your past video where you talked about the different types of licorice….which I knew nothing about….Keep the outings coming…very entertaining….👍🎉

[@mrob75]

WONDERFUL field trip at the OCS! (So much to see and ruminate over that I didn't quite finish my meatloaf sandwich.) An antique "Light of the World" print / frame is in my hallway at home...I keep a small lamp lit next to it at night...A reminder that we are not alone.

[@jillabeyta6841]

My favorite artist!! I proudly have Daybreak hanging in my home. Dream Garden truly takes my breath away! Thank you Scott for a wonderful video!!

[@harrietetter9321]

well ill never get to philly in this life time so thanks for the tour -- parrish and tiffany my two favorites -- i have my grandmothers chambers head of christ over my mantle -- wish you could see my house -- 83 yrs of collecting -- several generations -- love your taste -- so glow little glowworm glow

[@mjp2615]

I really appreciate your posts, Scott. You touch on so much of what I enjoy. When you said “Maxfield Parrish” It immediately took me back to my childhood and my collector mother who educated me . Daybreak hung in our home in the 1970s

[@dennishart2610]

you just keep dragging us around!! I always love every minute of it! Great field trip as usual! Thanks again

[@elizabethmusso5946]

[@psmith-kk3ex]

I had several family members who worked for Curtis or worked in the bldg. , including myself . My dad used to bring home free magazines. Post, Ladies home Journal and Holiday. He would bring me Jack and Jill when I was small.

[@walbiramurray5762]

You went to a lot of effort to share that story with us Scott, and I truly appreciated it. Thanks

[@frankneumann9286]

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this field trip, Scott. The "Dream Garden" is a masterpiece. I grew up in the Northeast Philly area but never visited the Curtis Building. I would love to see it in person! Your videos are as good as or better than ever. I look forward to and learn from each and every one.

[@oldcuriosityshop265]

Frank I appreciate that so much!

[@annvarghese5997]
