Visitation Hotel

Black And White Photography, Laurie, Mobile Photography, Photography

The Visitation Hotel in Frederick Maryland has a fascinating history as a cloistered monastery and internationally renowned academic institution. Originally built in 1824, the structure survived fires in 1845 and in 2023, and finally opened as a boutique hotel in December 2024.

The Crossing

While on a rainy day trip to downtown Chicago on the Metra, I grabbed a photo out the wet window of the train of the structure in the background. The timing of the shot also captured the rail crossing which added a starting point and leading line to the buildings in the distance.
