It makes me content to see that there are still real architectural craftsmen out there. It's nice when architecture is created from genuine materials and methods as opposed to the standard of many look-a-likes today. I don't care whether you 'style' is modern with glass and steel, or classical--just keep it real and honest. Those could more easily have been replaced with plastic replicas and spray painted with a copper looking finish; it's an honor to that building that they were not! |
