Here we have decorative stone doing its utmost to jazz up this otherwise humble entrance. At least it's a gesture for those at pedestrian level like me today. I was obliged to experience a little of what our weatherman called "dangerously cold weather," so there was icing on the photographer too.

Good eye, Ed. What is the black square at the bottom of the right arch. I'm guessing an old coal chute, originally.

We've got quite a bit of snow and cold here in Missouri too. I love snow though, so I'm okay. I just keep getting dirty looks when I predict more snow with a smile.

This is a gorgeous entrance. I love the unique architectural work. Reminds me of something from a Final Fantasy video game. Kind of reminiscent of steam punk (I think that's what it's called) decor...

This is a very good shot of a sweet building, Ed. They just don't have any architecture around here with this sort of character. I agree with Doug as usual. 99% of the people would have strolled right passed this scene without even noticing.

What does you weatherman consider "dangerously cold weather"? It was 22°C here today. Brrrrrrrrrrrr.

I'm not afraid of dying. I just don't want to be there when it happens.

Really nice and unusual detail right down to the ornaments on the windowsill. Nice lines everywhere too. Great photo.

Is this a Frank Lloyd Wright building? It looks a bit like one of his, especially the stained glass...

A nicely balanced image, Ed. I like the intricity around the dorr as well as the decorative circular pieces. Looks great in B & W also. Excellent capture ... a keeper for sure. Love it.
