march Walkabout
The original library in Uptown Minneapolis. Historically protected building build in 1922. There is a new ugly concrete bunker of a library across the street (circa 1973). This building was an upscale thrift store when I came to town in 1986, and has been used for several other purposes since. It is now empty.
Another nicely composed architectural detail shot. Even though we don't see the whole building here, this little piece allows us to imagine it very well.
How sad to read that it's empty! Often seems that the US is overly concerned with newer! better! faster! etc, while here in Europe things continue to serve a purpose for a very long time just fine. 1922 would be new here. :-) I like the capture of the detail, to include the old style "u" in Public.
What would a walkabout be without one of your architecture shots? Glad you included this one here. This really hints at grandness and I like just the partial words above. Hopefully we'll see more one day.
Great architectural detail, and I really like how you've framed this with the bricks disappearing into the corner of the shot. The shortening of the words make them almost appear to be in Latin.
