This was built in 1904-1906 for the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in the Art Nouveau style. I loved the bird downspouts on the front!

Those are some awesome downspouts! I have no doubt if my middle son had seen them when he was little he would have insisted that we get some for our house. Neat shot! V

Fascinating details in this sharp shot. I would definitely install the downspouts on our house. Not sure about the big globe though. "V"
