Many viewers have commented that The Guardian Building (originally The Union Trust Company Building) reminded them of a church.
This picture shows approximately half of the bank lobby on the main floor. Imagine the original bank building with 60-90 bank teller cages lining the entire length of both sides of this "nave". The ceiling was composed of a 3/4 inch (1.9cm) of horsehair and coated with a layer of plaster cement. Then, a canvas layer was applied, and painted with designs reminiscent of the patterns of Navajo rugs. This was a sound-deadening system.
The "altar piece" ( I suppose) was the three-story mural of the map of the lower peninsula of Michigan. Highlighted were the major Michigan moneymakers of the1890s to 1920s: mining, manufacturing, lumber, fishing, commerce, and agriculture. It was completed in 1929, unfortunately the year of the beginning of "The Great Depression".
This superbly decorated Art-Deco bank building was nicknamed "The Cathedral of Finance." So, if the earlier pictures reminded you of a church (reprised in the first comment below) --you were very observant : -)
Browsing through my photo archives I came across this capture of Banks Peninsula New Zealand (South Island)

Notice the dead looking tree on the right. It is suffering from Ash Dieback and like so many more Ash trees branches will break away and it will be felled.
Happy Bench Monday

A Yellow-rumped Warbler, affectionately known as a butter butt, posed for a closeup on the bank of Horsepen Bayou.
Set up near a sand bank that was being used as nesting by these little speed demons.
It took a bit of time and a lot of misses; but I eventually got some ok'ish flight shots. This is my favourite.
This is a view of Currituck Sound on the Outer Banks of North Carolina heading north from Duck to Corolla. The Atlantic Ocean is on the right of where I am. This photo was taken several years ago. I sure wish I was there now. The ocean breezes would be quite a relief from the heat and humidity.
Bank of Commerce Palace , a monumental building that houses the Craiova City Hall, is one of the most famous buildings in the city , is a stately building, built on a four-level quadruple plan, in an eclectic style with obvious neo-Romanian elements.
The Bank of Commerce was designed by architect Ion Mincu in 1906 and completed in 1916 by his student, Constantin Iotzu .
Thank you for your visits, favs and comments !
