Wonderful New Gallery in Mobile, Al.

On our recent trip to Mobile, Alabama, Tom and I took off to the city to see the revitalization efforts in downtown and hopefully visit some of the local art galleries.  With Tom’s interest in revitalization and mine in the arts, not much extra time on our hands and rain quickly approaching we headed to the Lower Dauphin Street Historic District.

We just happened to park very near one of the newest galleries in the area, Robertson Gallery 450.  It is a remarkable place!

One of the nicest galleries I believe I have seen not only in the content of the art – which you might guess is abstract – but in the architectural design of the newly refurbished interior.  A very elegantly spacious gallery with the newness of the built walls contrasting the wonderful historic look and feel of the space itself.  Simply beautiful!

Robertson Gallery

Unfortunately we had to keep moving because the rain was about to catch up with us.

Please put this gallery on your must see list for next time you are in the Mobile, Alabama area.

We walked down the very quaint streets with the wonderful historic fixtures adorned with planters of beautiful flowers.  We moved quickly into a restaurant across from Cathedral Square where we darted in for lunch just in time to escape the downpour.

Spot of Tea

After lunch we walked around just a little more before heading back to the farm.  On this rainy day not much was opened but we were able to get a feel for the history of the place and witness the wonderful job that the district is doing in revitalizing the area.  It is one of those wonderful places you would hope to find in a historic city like Mobile.

Live music on Dauphin St.

Oh yes, did I mention the live music?  That was a real surprise.  Felt a little like New Orleans.
