The textured building

We found this unusual building in some neighborhood we drove through far from the center of town. At first I thought it was a private dwelling, but looking at it now I don’t think so.

Quite unique, it looks like a school or private hospital maybe because of the ramp? A fine shot, Helen. V

What a beautiful and intersting building Helen, great shot. V

No signs, so it would be hard to decide what it is. But you couldn't miss it with all the ornate walls.

the door is lovely but so is the whole façade. Great find.V

Another quite unique building. A school perhaps.

It is really quite extraordinary. I wonder what it is. So much work went into creating the exterior, or so it seems, so it must be an important place :-) Terrific shot. V

quite the fancy façade, and an expressive design on the door..

An interesting textured finish on this rather formidable building. No doubt about the colours of the Gulf, Helen. Those sandy tones against mainly vivid blue skies are symbolic of the area!

A very unusual looking building! Very nice image, Helen!
