This is how I'll remember Calvin College's original administration building on the former Franklin Street campus - without the curving ramps and parking lot, which are features added by the Grand Rapids Public Schools in the 1990s. I'm all for accommodating those with physical challenges and disabilities, but the sweeping curve of the ramps clashes with the classical lines of the building, in my opinion. And don't even get me started about the parking lot...

Stroll from Capitol Hill down Denny and around Stewart and 9th, 7th, 6th, and 5th Avenues to check out the construction activity in the South Lake Union area - Vulvancille, formerly Cascade Neighborhood, neé the Denny Regrade, neé Denny Hill.

Parliament Building, Athens, Greece.
Greece's Parliament was originally the royal palace designed by the Bavarian architect Von Gartner and built between 1836 and 1842. In 1935 it became the seat of the Greek parliament and it was from the palace balcony that the syntagma (constitution) was declared on 3 September 1843. The royal family moved to a new palace, which became the presidential palace upon the abolition of the monarchy in 1974. Only the library is open to the public.
