Hiked Guadalupe Peak from Guadalupe Mountains National Park the first day of my trip to New Orleans.
Highpoint, North Hill, Highgate, London N6
Architect: Berthold Lubetkin
Built in 1935, Highpoint I is admired by architecture aficionados across the board, and even counted Le Corbusier as a fan.
The building was commissioned by industrialist Sigmund Gestetner, who ran an office supplies business and intended to house his staff there and was built with the help of renowned Danish engineer Ove Arup.
Lubetkin himself lived in a spectacular penthouse in Highpoint I while he was working on Highpoint II, which was built next door in 1938.
The highest point in Louisiana is Driskill Mountain at 535 ft above sea level. It is about a one mile walk to the top. The monument is made out of slag. During the Civil War, the Confederate Army made bullets here.
