I wish buildings were still designed like that

They definitely don't build things like they used to.

**LilMouse** · 03-07-2022, 03:58 PM

Is it because they're cheap now?

**BehrItAll** · 03-09-2022, 10:31 PM

Or there are not as many stone masons.

It won’t be long before the Hertford magnolia in Radcliffe Square is in bloom again - spring is definitely in the air.

I think it just comes down to money and companies trying to save while still making more $$...so really it ends up coming down to greed as well.

greed

If I had money, I'd make the outside of my house very ornate with its stones.

^^ I love the craftsmanship and pride that is clear in older homes/buildings and now everything that's built is like a cloned copy of the one next to it.

**LilMouse** · 03-10-2022, 09:15 PM

Yep, cloned and just so uninteresting to look at. How is glass interesting?

**BehrItAll** · 03-11-2022, 08:10 PM

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

And the replication of the same thing over and over is so boring.

**LilMouse** · 03-12-2022, 06:25 PM

I hope there's a renaissance in architecture soon.

**BehrItAll** · 03-12-2022, 09:30 PM

Me too.

A spring morning of sunlight and shadows on Ship Street today.

^^ I'd love to see a photo from the window on the left, looking out to the street as the sun comes through! It must be so pretty.

^^^ If only we can message the people in the building and tell them to do it.
