That is amazing. I'm impressed with the designer. It amazes me that a building can be designed with the woven pattern, much less carried out.

This is Chicago in the 1920's and 1930's!

Very nice, too bad they tore down so much of those classic skyscrapers only to replace them with modern boring glass buindings.

Right?! That's what is so amazing about it! It's in London also, I believe.

Sure thing!

Here is the Merchandise Mart in Chicago, Art Deco style, completed 1930!

Oh I really like that one, too. Plus, it's being on the river-it makes it look even more grand, to me.

Thanks Norman.

Black buildings are rather unusual

I love the gold trim/accents.

Why don’t they build more buildings blue?

I like the blue, too.

The building is great-the way it stands tall with the other more modern buildings. I really like it with the lights on at night.

Glad you like them!

Here is the 55 Water Street building in Brooklyn, New York. 687 feet, 209 meters tall completed in 1969!
