Native Americans in Seattle

I totally forgot to post these when I got home from Seattle because I was so busy.

These faces are on the Cobb Building which is now remodeled apartments. The building is on 4th Street, but I took the pictures from right outside the Rock Bottom Brewery on 5th. (That's the same location I photographed, and filmed this building sitting over top of me a couple of years ago.)

Painted Harlem vs. Unpainted Harlem

I'm not a big fan of painting brick. See the nice raw brick next door? But I did find it interesting that they took care to paint some of the details separately. This is a building they have fixed up on 134th street between Frederick Douglass and Adam Clayton Powell.

Here's the building next door that looks quite similar, but has more neutral colors. They're working on it now. I hope they don't paint the brick and details.

More Syracuse University

Very Classic: Nice red brick with Corinthian Columns. The frieze is a bit boring, but I like the eagle's feathers and his little legs sticking out of his "feather bellbottoms."

D.C. Faces

I thought these were interesting faces, but I forgot to write down where I saw them. Some German Institute? I have no idea. 

Facades As Beautiful As Water

Windows Like a Waterfall

I love the windows on this building. They look like they are cascading down rocks, like a waterfall. I do not know what this building is, but it's right next to Washington Square Park.

I also feel bad for all those rooms that do not have windows. Look at all that brown wall space.

The Weight of the World

This little face has a lot of visual weight on his small head. He looks so serious. I love that concentration!

He looks like he's made of limestone too, so he has seen his better days. He's a bit weathered.

This building is on 17th Street in Washington D.C.

Scary Little Men

I believe this building is on 110th near Amsterdam...the guys are quite cartoony and grotesque.

Decorative Architectural Lace

I wouldn't call it beautiful, but it did catch my attention because it is unique.




This is on Bond Street in Manhattan between Lafayette and Bowery.

Horse Heads in Harlem

These horse heads are on a parking garage...I just wonder if the building used to be used for something else.

Judson Memorial Church

The building overall looks very Italian in style (I did not take a picture of the whole thing however.) The details of the circles make the building interesting and unique up close and from a distance.







It's on the South side of Washington Square in Manhattan, which is where NYU's campus is.

Small Rectangles of Texture

From a distance this element looks like one on the Capitol building in D.C., but really this one is chunkier. The one in D.C. is more elegant. This is from downtown St. Louis.

Repetition in St. Louis

Repetition of flowers, leaves, wreaths, and shields in downtown St. Louis, MO.

Asian Dragons in Our Nation's Capitol?

This face looks like an Asian Dragon.

I have no idea where this was in Washington D.C., or what the building is. A hotel maybe? I got the photo quickly as I was marching in D.C., so I didn't jot down any information. That's also why the picture is a bit blurry; I didn't stop walking when I took it.

More Library of Congress Pictures

What can I say? It's an interesting building!

Decorative Banding

When looking at this building from a distance the banding does not jump out at a passerby, but it is quite interesting.




This is at the Southeast corner of 95th Street and Riverside Drive.
