The stunning 5-floor landmark building (Classical Revival style) originally opened in 1897 and housed the first Chicago Public Library and a Civil War Memorial.
When the central public library moved to a new home in the Loop in 1991, the Chicago Cultural Center moved in.
One of the most comprehensive free art showcases in the USA - it's known as the "People's Palace" - providing Chicago both a local and global arts cultural scene from radio, literature, art, music, dance to theater, film and lectures.
The building is home to 2 magnificent stained-glass domes. One by George Healy and Louis Millet in the Grand Army of the Republic rotunda. The other a Louis Tiffany of the Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company in the Preston Bradley Hall - reported to be the largest Tiffany dome in the world at 38 feet in diameter with some 30,000 pieces of glass in 243 sections held within an ornate case iron frame. In 2008 it was fully restored to Tiffany's original vision as it was in 1897.
Ochsenfurt mit seiner historischen Altstadt liegt im südlichen Maindreieck im Landkreis Würzburg und blickt auf eine über 1250-jährige Geschichte zurück . Die schöne Altstadt mit ihrer fast vollständigen Befestigungsanlage, Stadttoren und Türmen, Fachwerkhäusern, der Andreas-Kirche und vor allem dem Rathaus aus dem 15. Jahrhundert ist einen Besuch wert.

January 15, 2020 - "With each incarnation since its inception in 1919 - first as a performing arts theater, then as a cinema, and now a bookstore - the Grand Splendid has proven itself befitting of its majestic title.
Having retained its original frescoed ceilings, ornate theater boxes, elegant rounded balconies, detailed trimmings, and plush red stage curtains, the interior of the building remains as stunning today as when it was first envisioned by architects Peró and Torres Armengol.
In its glory days, the Teatro Grand Splendid hosted such tango legends as Carlos Gardel, Francisco Canaro, Roberto Firpo, and Ignacio Corsini. Building proprietor Max Glucksman was a leading figure in the world of tango in his own right, as owner of the influential Nacional-Odeon record label. In 1929, the theater underwent its first transformation to become a cinema, with the distinction of being the first in Buenos Aires to show sound film.
Glucksman’s love of tango carried over to the new cinema, with live tango orchestration accompanying the silent films projections. Architect Fernando Manzone oversaw the building’s most recent conversion into the El Ateneo bookstore and music shop, to the tune of AR $3 million. Just prior to the leasing of the building to Grupo Ilhsa in 2000, the Grand Splendid was under threat of demolition due to a poor economy.
Though some lament the loss of a beloved cinema, it is now thanks to the Grupo Ilhsa—which owns 40 bookshops, including the flagship Grand Splendid location—that visitors can still revel in this wondrous monument of a bygone era. While the selection of books on offer is standard chain store fare and mostly in Spanish, bibliophiles will find the staggeringly opulent display of books to be reason enough to pay El Ateneo Grand Splendid a visit. To fully bask in the splendor, one can also indulge in coffee and live piano music on the very stage where the Argentinean stars of tango once performed."

While walking in an alley between some stores in Langley, WA my wife noticed these flower boxes created from 'book bindings' which decorated the otherwise basic flower box. It was one of those things I just had to touch to see if it was real and if they were books or not.
This is a photo looking through two windows. There are bottles on the first sill and another bottle on the sill in the window behind it. Through the second window you can see the barn wall behind that. Because the glass is old, the wall you see in the back looks almost like a painting. I love it! P1000481
