Snow got on the lens got this one. Still kinda kool. I got one that isnt up here, and its almost TOTALLY blown out. This was a challenge.

Little bit of an experiment. Long exposures which are my thing, aimed at the snow blowing in the projector beam.

11/2/2020- Halloween looked like some day of the dead thing. But there was a quite nice light show ON the building for a while. I remarked to my mom "How is this NOT a distraction to drivers?".

Massive imposing building from the front. Water St. Glass additions clearly.

Behind the pizza place next door. As if the addition is really a dull mirror like finish on this side. LOL.

If you go, and you look at it up close, the rain tubes here dont look overly functional. Maybe for show. There would be ONE way to find out for sure and I dont know if Im THAT curious.

Its amazing how the original building is half encased in glass. Very neat.

The difficulty of getting this color glass was one of the many struggles of this restoration. Its like 1885 colors. They dont make that stuff no mo.

Looking out the front on the main floor. Its slightly above ground level. You can see into the basement from the sidewalk level.

In better economic times, there may be some entertaining here from the looks of this.

Architecturally PHENOMENAL. All I can say is so well restored. The additions are not the greatest but the main building has SO MANY original features its so neat. Not bastardized.
