New additions to our personal archive from the Penistone Archive. Now I know how the windows should look.
Built in 1930, this Art Deco and Stripped Classical Revival-style building was designed by Ernest A. Grunsfeld, Jr. to serve as the Adler Planetarium, funded by a donation given by local businessman Max Adler to serve as a planetarium and astronomical museum for the city of Chicago. The original building is a dodecagon-shaped structure clad in granite, with the signs of the zodiac at each corner, two recessed doorways on the west facade, and a copper-clad dome. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1987. The museum has expanded over time, with an underground addition, built in 1973, and a glass and stone-clad wing, known as the Sky Pavilion, wrapping the original building to the east, south, and north, added in 1999. The planetarium also has an astronomical observatory east of the planetarium, built in 1977. The building remains in use as a museum, home to multiple theaters and exhibit galleries on various levels.

It seems that the boys are keen for more. We got three hermit shells to ad to our collection. Their names? Pete, Max and Graham.
The scrollwork used to be in the kitchen but when we opened up this wall and combined the two areas if the kitchen into one room this seemed to be the place for it.
