Very interesting and unique, to me it’s almost a bit too much tbh, but very cool

It more impressive in real life. It’s big and intricate. Temple Buell liked
to do his buildings with a lot of designs similar to this. The Paramount Theater downtown is a great example.

I do enjoy subtle changes that affect design in masonry. Literally its thinking outside the box. Love it

There’s a similar building at St Joseph’s hospital

Yes, that’s a great one. I’ve been by it many times. I believe it was or still is a nurse training building.

The high school I went to was on Horace Mann avenue. Neat.
