I was on the abandoned factory side of the river when I spotted this building. I think it got my attention because it is almost perfectly square. That seemed unusual to me, but perhaps it is common. I guess when they decided to build this, a square was the easiest to build, and the most efficient use of space. It is so ordinary as well, with not a touch of architectural decoration in an attempt to make the building more attractive. Of course, and this is huge, I am looking at the back of it! Perhaps it is more attractive from the front. Remind me to shoot the front of this building when I go to Stellafane next year, to see if it is more attractive!
The first thing I notice is that the center windows are two thinner frames which is not symmetrical with the other windows. It almost appeared that the center of the square building was a little concave. I'll try to remind you next year to photograph the front. Yeah, right! :-)

I noticed the roof line where it looks like the center is sagging. I will be interested to see the front side of the building next year...betsey
ReplyDeleteI beg to differ in your assessment that this old building is completely devoid of architectural details. Please note the decorative Corbels at each corner under the roof eaves.
