There’s a few treasures like this and the other buildings you mentioned, but otherwise not much.

The south and west facing walls meet at a sharp angle and give that appearance. And we lined up our shot to exaggerate it further so the building appears as though cut off abruptly.

It wore many hats.

It has sort of an odd footprint and from certain angles looks out of balance.

It was quite the place in the ’90s when we got a peek inside.

We knew someone who called it home in the 1990s and so we concur.

Passed that place so many times in the 1990s, the image of the adult shop is burned into my mind. Barbie’s, as I recall.

Still have some treasures bought there.

Why did man -the-builder stop building beautiful buildings? Sorry, idle question; have you read modern poetry lately?
