Built in 1891-1892, this Romanesque Revival and Queen Anne-style building was designed by Truman Dudley Allen (T. D. Allen) to serve as the city hall for Columbus, Wisconsin. The building historically housed the Columbus Fire Department, Columbus Police Department, Columbus Jail, Columbus Public Library, and a public auditorium, though most of these government services have since found their own homes elsewhere in town outside of the building. The building is clad in buff brick with a rusticated Waukesha stone base and rusticated Doylestown red sandstone trim, including lintels, arch surrounds, sills, and lintels. The building features three towers, with square towers at the east and west corners with low-slope and pyramidal hipped roofs, and a large cylindrical tower at the south corner, which features a truncated conical roof, open belfry lantern, clock faces, and a pyramidal hipped roof supporting a flagpole. The building features one-over-one windows, arched bays with entrances on the first floor, brick corbeling at the base of the building’s hipped roof, parapets on the James street and Dickason Boulevard facades flanked by chimneys with the words “City Hall” and the year 1892 displayed on them in lettering, small windows on the third floor, and modified window bays at the west end of the James Street facade that used to house garage doors until the Fire Department moved out in 1948. The building also features remnants of metal fire escapes that once provided emergency egress from the second floor auditorium, and features a modified front entrance door on Dickason Boulevard with a modern aluminum storefront and vestibule, and an addition on the north side of the building, recessed behind a courtyard along Dickason Boulevard, which houses a modern staircase, elevator, and other support facilities, as well as a handicapped accessible entrance, and matches the brick exterior, mansard roof, and arched transoms of the historic building. Inside, the building features offices and a council chamber on the first floor, with a large auditorium or assembly hall on the second floor, which features a balcony on the third floor, as well as attic storage and mechanical space. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, and is a contributing structure in the Columbus Downtown Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. The building continues to serve as the city hall for Columbus.
329.366: One of the Cheetah brothers stare at my parents and myself at the Milwaukee County Zoo on thanksgiving day. I love the Cheetah's face mostly because they always have their ears back like this but the black lines which run across their eyes and down by their mouth. Just something about the detail is amazing.
I rented (shoutout - lensrentals.com) a d600 (sigh, I saw the dust/oil issue everyone has been talking about against blue sky) with a sigma 50-500 for the holiday weekend as we traveled out to the Mississippi to snatch a "few" photos of the bald eagles out there. We had a fantastic time. Still need to go through all the photos and find some to post which I'll do sometime this week.
I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving and enjoy the last bit of the weekend ahead.

I guess I could have taken the camera off tripod, but I didn't. The tripod wouldn't get any closer to the words (left) because of the guard rails. Next time I'll try harder.
poor barn! poor farmer! the owner said the last wind storm tore it apart...they've gotta tear it down and start all over :( this barn/farm was located somewhere north of Fox Lake, Wisconsin; 082611
This could almost be an old FSA photograph from the 1930s. Not much has changed -- except for the clothes the workers are wearing. The difference shows up more clearly in color.

This are some of the photos from my House Party in Eau Claire, WI. We had such a great time discussing Barack and his awesomeness...and we also enjoyed many home made treats and open, honest opinions. Thanks for this opportunity to get Barack supporters together and get the word out about our wonderful candidate. If you need any help in the future, you can always count on me! Thanks again!
