I have to get there and make a few pictures before they get rid of this building. Maybe tomorrow I will make a trip downtown.

Sorry, but these developers are pigs. I don't normally say that but this building is gorgeous. It is one of the most beautiful buildings downtown. How it isn't landmarked is beyond me.

As promised I went to see the 22 Thames St building. It is a very nice example of brick building. Especially the top
with rounded brick windows and crenelations looks nice - not that many modern buildings have these kind of details. I will be sorry to see it go, but... image hosted on flickr  image hosted on flickr  image hosted on flickr  image hosted on flickr  image hosted on flickr

The building certainly has some baroque elements in its style. I really love it as well. Thanks for the pics.

Very sad. I can see it being replaced by a boring glass box.

 the building is OK. I don't think the glass box will be boring here. Downtown could use some serious modernization.Thanks for sharing pics John Flint! It's nice to see what will be razed. Last edited by Vertical_Gotham; April 23rd, 2013 at 08:03 PM. |
