It's magic!
I don't have a red x, I have a blue square with a question mark. I do the click on properties thing, and I get Forbidden Access...

From a different angle you can see that it actually becomes a push-me pull-me whale. Same on both sides. Least favorite building in the area.
Could you tell us when this building was constructed?
Osso, on a Mac, I get it by control + apple + click, then you get options -- choose "copy image location," then copy and paste it in a new window.
Sounds more complicated than it is.
Swimpy, that's the Leveque Tower -- my first picture, of it lit up at night, didn't seem to work. I'm not actually sure what it's used for now -- offices of some type, I think -- but it's a prominent part of the skyline.
Are you doing that on CJane's photo of a brick place on page 2? I do that regularly, but once in a while an image is forbidden - and I think it's not me, but that it's forbidden. Will try again though.
Tried it again, I get a san fracisco url, but it won't open in my address box..
plus, all that forbidden language.
I've shut a2k down, put the url in my address box, and clicked GO, and a2k opens...
Ah, well, for whatever reason, I don't have access for the apache server.
Whatever...
I did figure out how to open the little blue box that Regis was referring to (red x in that case)
I like that building too a lot too.
Reyn, looks like it was originally completed in 1952, with some more recent renovations to the inside.
More info here
Imagine how "space age" it was back then!
osso, I uploaded the picture into a different site, here it is again
Swimpy, the buildings you posted are just gorgeous. I love the old
Victorian architecture in brick. We have them in wood here, but unfortunately there aren't too many left.

Thanks for the squinney. Interesting link.
Does any know if the style of that building was something typical for the 1950s? Seems rather a
nouveau kind of thing.
CJane- we have many wood frame Victorians, as well. The wood ones tended to burn down a lot, unfortunately.
Thanks for finding that, Jane, yep, I like that too.

Oh yes, I have an opinion. But this site is rocking along right now with so many pretty pictures that I will wait for a lull in the action.
Osso started a thread or two about architecture. I responded but no one else did. I, and I suspect osso, are happy to see Reyn get something going.
Osoo asked about the South Lawn project at the University of Virginia. I don't want to drag this thread down with one project that you may have absolutely no interest in. My concern is with the thought process that goes into "public" projects. An essay by johnboy is coming up.
Meanwhile, keep those pictures coming of things in your town. The thing in Squinney's, by the way, looks more like a shark. Very menacing looking building.
Charlottesville has some beautiful buildings as well, realjohnboy
Here are a few more form Dubuque:
The Ryan House
The Stout House
The Fannie Stout House
I considered shark and you may be right!
Johnboy, I gave up. For those who don't remember I started a couple of landuse (architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, land art, civil engineering, and so on) threads where every week or two or three I accumulated a lot of links that I found interesting in one place and asked others to comment and contribute their own links. It probably bored people, being just links, and I was too knockered by the reading and selecting and posting to then think up anything bright to say about the articles I'd finally picked, much less add photos. EhBeth was interested at one point and I think Walter was.
Since I've been involved in my big move I haven't kept those up - and besides, I couldn't keep changing the titles with the latest link anymore. And so I started doing individual threads and putting them wherever they seemed to fit, re ecology, or art, or re location, as in travel and culture.
Walter has been doing architecture threads from time to time all along, and detano inipo has done a few. And now Reyn is getting into it. I'm delighted!
Sorry for tangent, back to the business at hand...

Well, it may be reflecting some architecture, thinking of a few europeans..
but most reminds me of some coffee shop styles... not entirely, but the swooping flare of the roof. Sydney opera house also comes to mind but that was later, I think.
Hah, Sydney opera house design by a Danish fellow named Utzon was accepted in 1955. That in turn sort of reminds me of Frank Gehry's fantasies in titanium....

Swimpy, which of those last two do you like better?
(I haven't made up my mind..)
oops, didn't notice the third..
