March 2018: Typewriters

Another Phoenix Warehouse District spot that opened its doors during Art Detour was the George Washington Carver Museum and Cultural Center.

One room had about half a dozen old typewriters in the corner, presumably left from the building’s days as a high school.

I do love looking at metal typewriters – the shape of the keys, the font of the letters and punctuation.

If I see one, I nearly always have to take a photo for some reason. (I have a similar complulsion with old sewing machines.)

Maybe there’s something about them I feel I need to preserve.

Is there anything you can’t pass without photographing?
