Can't decide whether this iteration of Laser Cut Blocks is better suited for basic Lego block horizontal use for vertical for side-mount Lego Technics applications.
Gotta love the optical properties of acrylic though!
Completed in 1911, the Municipal House is a fine example of Art Nouveau architecture in Prague, perhaps even the best. Designed by Antonin Balsanek and Osvald Polivka and built on the former site of the Royal Court Palace, the Municipal House is a popular attraction for tourists and locals alike. The large building boasts a stunning concert hall, a grand cafe and the exquisite Francouzska restaurant, as well as exhibition halls, meeting rooms and a basement bar. The beauty is in the details of the Municipal House, intricate gilded decorations, gorgeous ceramics, vivid stained glass windows and colorful murals depicting the history of the Czech lands
"Built in 1884, Central Block was one of the first masonry commercial blocks erected in Pierre and was often referred to as the handsomest building in town. It provided space for two major retail businesses on the first floor, housed several small professional offices on the second floor, and served as a prototype for further business construction in the city during the next 25 years. It is one of the few remaining historic buildings within the city’s original commercial district.
The 1884 Republican Territorial Convention Ball was held in the new Central Block. The ball was the occasion of the grand opening of the building. The Rochester Orchestra entertained several hundred guests.
By 1887, William F. Baird controlled much of Central Block. He was a partner in the Baird, Burke & Brown real estate firm, which continues today as Burke Real Estate. Baird’s wife, Alice, was Pierre’s first female physician, specializing in “diseases of women and children.” She had her practice in the Central Block throughout the 1890’s. In the early 1900’s, Henry R. Horner owned the southern half of the building. Horner served as the 1884 delegate to the Hughes County Republican convention and as Pierre City Attorney. He was elected to the South Dakota Senate in 1893 and 1897. Horner’s law firm, Horner, Martens, and Goldsmith, exists today as May, Adam, Gerdes, and Thompson and is the oldest law firm in South Dakota. Since the building opened in 1884, it has housed grocery, pharmacy, clothing, variety, and appliance stores. In addition, many prominent attorneys, real estate agencies, and health care professionals have had their offices here.
Central Block is a two-story commercial building with a stone foundation and masonry walls. Trimmings are made of St. Louis pressed brick and Kansas stone. The building is designed in the popular Commercial style and has Italianate features. The east façade has glass store fronts with large separate doors for each retailer. A central entry door leads to the second story. The second story fenestration features seven elongated rectangular windows with stone window hoods. The center window is capped with a carved stone plaque with the words “Central Block” in relief. Above the window line is an intricate pressed metal cornice, supported by brick corbelling."--Description from the United States National Park Service, Department of the Interior.

QCR QAL. All the blocks are great, but I think this one has to be my favorite. I love seeing all the fabrics in one block. A great scrap busting block!
All finished :)
Not sure if this will be the final layout but I'm very happy with the way all the blocks look together
Such happy colors
Thank you John Adams (Quilt Dad)

Granite Blocks
Reclaimed bridge and foundation blocks reclaimed from old New England bridge abutments and now defunct foundations in and around the Boston area.
Appearance:
Most of the block material we reclaim originates from the quarries of Cape Ann, MA. Quincy granite is also evident especially in some of the Boston block we reclaimed. Much of this material was quarried in the late 1800’s – early 1900’s. These blocks have a century of aging and weathering. Some in the water, some out… for a real antique look!
Size:
• Always depends on our current bridge reclamation project.
• As for our foundation block inventory – it’s almost always dimensional material and multi sized
• Call for current sizes and availability
Use:
• Retaining wall/seawall block material
• Bench pieces
• Columns for entryways and gates
• Light posts
• Vertical pieces for archways
Sold:
By the pieces, the linear foot and by the ton.

Mint Plate Block
This stamp commemorates the 100th anniversary of the formation of the Oregon territorial government. The stamp pictures a wagon on the Oregon Trail and portraits of John McLoughlin and Jason Lee.It was first issued August 14, 1948.
They're not Lego blocks, but this otherwise looks pretty cool. They were sitting out on the table to dry and I took a number of shots, both to play with color, and to play with my tripod and various exposures.
Theme for November - houses. Here are all the little trailers ready to go. Group 2 - Tag the one you want. :)
