Many viewers have commented that The Guardian Building (originally The Union Trust Company Building) reminded them of a church.
This picture shows approximately half of the bank lobby on the main floor. Imagine the original bank building with 60-90 bank teller cages lining the entire length of both sides of this "nave". The ceiling was composed of a 3/4 inch (1.9cm) of horsehair and coated with a layer of plaster cement. Then, a canvas layer was applied, and painted with designs reminiscent of the patterns of Navajo rugs. This was a sound-deadening system.
The "altar piece" ( I suppose) was the three-story mural of the map of the lower peninsula of Michigan. Highlighted were the major Michigan moneymakers of the1890s to 1920s: mining, manufacturing, lumber, fishing, commerce, and agriculture. It was completed in 1929, unfortunately the year of the beginning of "The Great Depression".
This superbly decorated Art-Deco bank building was nicknamed "The Cathedral of Finance." So, if the earlier pictures reminded you of a church (reprised in the first comment below) --you were very observant : -)

Union Canal connects Edinburgh and Falkirk, it is one of my favourite walks/cycles and so close to home.

This shot is a result of an effort to include railfanning with my trucking career resulting in finding a convenient parking spot for my layover about a ten minute walk from this location.

La bandiera del Regno Unito (comunemente Union Flag o Union Jack) fu adottata nel 1801 in seguito all'atto di unione con il quale il Regno di Gran Bretagna e il Regno d'Irlanda si univano a formare il Regno Unito di Gran Bretagna e Irlanda. Derivata da una versione precedente adottata nel 1606, è anche stata la bandiera rappresentativa dell'Impero britannico.
Alcune ex-colonie britanniche e reami del Commonwealth (ad esempio il Canada) danno ancora status ufficiale o semi-ufficiale a questa bandiera. È l'unica bandiera al mondo ad aver sventolato su tutti i sei continenti contemporaneamente: Europa, Nord e Sud America, Africa, Asia, Oceania e Antartide. Ancora oggi la Union Flag è presente nel cantone di alcune bandiere nazionali: Australia, Nuova Zelanda, Figi e Tuvalu. Inoltre è presente su tutte le bandiere delle dipendenze britanniche d'oltremare (tranne Gibilterra) e sulle due bandiere degli Stati associati alla Nuova Zelanda: le isole Cook e Niue.
