Chicago has a lot of architecture somewhat like this--the red brick, the fire escapes. I don't remember an aqueduct, though!Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255670630427934848.post-23288329700560664432010-01-03T20:51:16.725-06:002010-01-03T20:51:16.725-06:00Well thanks Bob!

I thought it was a great place to hang out in the summer but my mother thought that was low class. We've got some crazy, pompous old Germanic buildings in STL but the bottom picture beats them all. I mean, it's got a Roman aqueduct on the top!Bob Crowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08276510331824603844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255670630427934848.post-72679020514059091162010-01-03T17:42:44.651-06:002010-01-03T17:42:44.651-06:00The second image has a very Escher quality to it!The second image has a very Escher quality to it!Louis la Vachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09039777863022193315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255670630427934848.post-74072158612266564382010-01-03T14:12:42.301-06:002010-01-03T14:12:42.301-06:00Love the colors and textures.

I am sooooo glad you are preserving the beauty of this building.<br />The building where I attended Junior High in Highland Park (PA's neighborhood) was old brick with white stone details. It didn't meet the earthquake code, so it was torn down instead of renovated and replaced by an uninspired new brick box. Now I wish I had good photos of the old school, in color.Tashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098034737961019226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255670630427934848.post-49787137221028841032010-01-03T09:21:59.966-06:002010-01-03T09:21:59.966-06:00Oh geeeessshh Leif, dares like that one are what p...Oh geeeessshh Leif, dares like that one are what propelled me to the dome of the Sacre Coeur last summer!!!

Don't see many of them anymore, tho. When living in Chicago as a young adult, ours was used for a burglary during the middle of the night...as I watched from my bed, holding my breath until the thief left as he came in through the window and down the escape, without harming me or my roommates. How did I know to remain silent...must have been instinct!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223040482420514208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255670630427934848.post-37740967687338897742010-01-03T03:23:09.207-06:002010-01-03T03:23:09.207-06:00un juego geometrico, bellisimo, saludosun juego geometrico, bellisimo, saludosl'alia-duhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04100672964934882184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255670630427934848.post-16180397338301116392010-01-03T03:00:50.229-06:002010-01-03T03:00:50.229-06:00You have some fabulous old buildings in ol' Bi...You have some fabulous old buildings in ol' Birmingham!!!
