The Marine Building (aka "The Daily Planet", for any Smallville fans). They just don't put this kind of detail on buildings these days. Built in 1930, it was the tallest building in the British empire until it was surpassed in 1939.
And the bonus shot today - the loveliest transit station in town!

ooooo! That IS beautiful!! And I agree - they DON"T make buildings as detailed as they used to. I am always disappointed when a building is added on to - usually a hospital - and the new structure does not match up with the old.
I think it's funny that that was the tallest building for a while!
Amazing photos. Blossoming trees! Just wait until June, when the blossoms are out at Lincoln Fields. (Hope I can still remember how to take a photo by then.)
