More blue hour. I dunno if anyone but me likes these building portraits, but I think I'm getting a lot better at them. This one is SOOC except for a slight keystone correction (can't afford a shift lens) and a post-resize sharpen (since I don't upload full camera sizes).
The Boerne Library is building a new facility this year, and it's still unclear what will happen to this one. It won't be demolished, but I do hope it gets used for a public rather than private purpose.
Kiewa Street Albury. Architect: Aston Raggatt McDougall. Note: the Blue banner is actually shade cloth to protect the interior from the western sun!!!! Also in this architects typical manner, reference to the work of others. This time Mies's steel work from the Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin

TITLE: A NEW VISION FOR LIBRARY ARCHITECTURE
DATE:1927
NOTES: Myron Hunt’s design—an imaginative combination of formal Italian style and Spanish architecture–was selected for the Central Library.
Its unique approach eliminated some aspects of more traditional library designs. He located all public services on one floor with connections to staff areas.

Granite blocks of Napoleon red anchor the Harold Washington Library Center at its base. Just above the rusticated blocks runs a chain-patterned band called a guilloche. Five-story-tall arched windows break up the red brick walls on three sides of the building. Cast stone ornamentation links these windows, as medallions featuring, Windy City Man preside above corn stalks which extend down for four floors. The cornstalks end at faces of Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture, and the city motto, Urbs in Horto (City in a Garden). In 1993, seven ornaments were added to the roof, placed on each of the four corners, as well as in the centers of the State, Congress, and Van Buren sides. These ornaments incorporate seed pods designed by Kent Bloomer, symbolizing the natural bounty of the Midwest. The barn owls, perched in the foliage at the four corners, and the Great Horned Owl over the State Street entrance, all designed by Raymond Kaskey, represent knowledge. A glass wall rises above the base on the Plymouth Court side.

This is the cute little Russells Mills Library in Dartmouth, MA. We stopped by here while caching, hoping to find a public internet computer - no such luck. What I did find was a library that has been recently stripped of its historical charm (the ornate wooden bookcases that had lined the walls were ripped out and replaced with industrial library shelving), and one pissed-off librarian. I listened while she lamented the loss of her beloved shelves, and while she spoke about how the town was not interested in funding library services - and that soon this library won't be funded anymore. Sad.
