Restored
One More Ride On the Merry-Go-Round.
By Silver Blue
The former carousel from Buckroe Beach Amusement Park, Hampton, VA. Restored and now housed in downtown Hampton, VA, just outside the Virginia Air and Space Museum. One of only a handful of remaining with hand carved wooden carousel horses and chariots.

Silver Blue, who remembers when the carousel WAS at Buckroe Beach….
Gotta get back to the simple life again.

1On the way out of Kenton, Ohio, en route to Columbus is a “restored” Gulf Service station. I’m pretty sure it didn’t start off selling “That Good Gulf Gasoline”, and in fact, it most likely never sold gasoline at all.
Still. The colours, the…the everything. I doubt it was a house (I didn’t go up and peek in the windows), but whatever it was… was classy.
My passion is photography. The passion of others certainly includes restoration of historical artifacts.
They even advertised “Squirt” soda on the door! LOL.
