Nice. This is the kind of info I need, and you do a great job of explaining it.
I love good architecture but still know so little about it.
Great post!
Something I'd like to see if you do more of this kind of thing is the addresses of all the buildings, even if they also have names. That way, I could say to myself, "Huh, I pass by there nearly every day and never noticed that. I'll be sure to check it out next time."
Thanks Steve-o and Kelly.
Kelly: I'll try to remember the address from now on. (Cool pop culture blogs - personal and Cin -by the way.)
Ooh...local examples. Thanks!
