Built in 1931, this complex of sandstone-clad Art Deco-style buildings at the edge of Amherst, Ohio were designed by architect Frank Wooster Bail and constructed to house terminally ill tuberculosis patients in Lorain County, utilizing easy access to fresh air and ample natural light to help alleviate their symptoms, and being constructed with beautiful details and a warm-colored stone exterior. Following the advent of effective cures for tuberculosis, the building fell out of use for housing people afflicted with the disease, and became a nursing home in 1967, replacing the old Lorain County Home, with a major renovation and addition being carried out on the building in 1979. In 2015, owing to a lack of funding, the nursing home was closed, and the building has since sat vacant, with a proposal to convert it into an addiction treatment center being rejected by Lorain County voters in 2017. The building, as of Spring 2022, was being offered for sale to developers, and was undergoing asbestos abatement at the time. By November 2022, the building had been demolished.
Using shears, I trim the clad down to the board's size plus some padding around the periphery of the design.
I follow up with 0000-grade steel wool to remove any dirt and oil from the surface, after which I no longer handle the clad with my hands. (Finger/hand oils interfere with the ferric chloride bath.) Instead, I use small pliers to manipulate the clad after I've cleaned it.
Lastly, I use alcohol to clean up any steel dust left behind from the steel wool scrubbing.

The clad obverse was designed by Richard Masters and sculpted by Phebe Hemphill. This design depicts two children standing and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, the little girl proudly wearing her grandfather’s old American Legion hat. Inscriptions are "LIBERTY," "2019," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and "I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG…"

The stone cladding on the stairstep portion of the building expands slowly, if you had a magnifying glass you could see that there’s rebar on the dirt at the northeast corner in this photo, so they’re close to pouring the slab where the chillers for the building HVAC will be located.

Sertão de Pernambuco, Brasil, 2004
O ônibus da foto percorre entre 30 e 35 quilômetros em estradas de barro para levar estudantes de Conceição das Crioulas à escola. O quilombo de Conceição das Crioulas fica próximo à cidade Salgueiro, em pleno sertão pernambucano – região afetada por altos índices de violência. Em toda América Latina e Caribe, as distâncias e a não-gratuidade do transporte são, muitas vezes, fatores que impedem a plena realização do direito à educação.
We went for a wander in Malvern today, and came across this building covered in vines. I thought it contrasted nicely with the sky.

The Delphi Hotel[2] is a 12-story hotel located at 550 S Flower St in Downtown Los Angeles in the marble-clad high-rise Superior Oil Company Building formerly the headquarters of the now defunct company, converted to The Standard Downtown LA hotel in 2002, then closed in 2020 and reopened in 2023 under its current name.[3]. The marble-clad Superior Oil Company Building was constructed from 1955–1956[4] as an office building by the Keck family[5] to serve as the headquarters for the Superior Oil Company.[6] Designed by Claud Beelman in the Late Moderne style, the 12-story structure was built by The William Simpson Construction Company.[7] The tower's design has been described as showing "how the oft-overlooked Beelman advanced the type and style of mid-century office buildings."[8] It was given distinctive marble, granite, and stainless-steel surfaces.[5] The building's design featured motifs particular to Superior Oil, including stylized "S" door pulls for the entrances and a bas-relief-style metal sculpture of an oilfield and refinery landscape above the Flower Street entrance interior. According to the Los Angeles Times, it became "one of the area's most significant examples of the postwar modernism style popular in corporate architecture during the 1950s."[5]
The LA Conservancy calls the building "one of the finest examples of the Corporate Moderne style in Los Angeles and stands out as one of the strongest designs of architect Claud Beelman’s later career."[7] The architecture represents a "simplified, abstracted redefinition" of Beelman's earlier explorations in the Late Moderne styles, also incorporating Modernist principles to "create a refined new corporate idiom." The building uses steel framing and a "pier and spandrel system" similar to those pioneered by Louis Sullivan. In a twist, however, the piers are clad in white marble and the recessed spandrels are ribbed stainless steel between window spaces, emphasizing the vertical nature of the architecture.[7]
In 1963, the building became the southern California headquarters of the Bank of California,[9] and for a time the building was called the Bank of California Building.[2] The building was vacated in 1992, after the Bank of California was merged into Union Bank of California.[5]. By 2000, local preservation groups were expressing worries that the vacant structure would be gutted and used as a telecommunications switching station, like other office buildings in the area. In January 2000, it was reported that the Union Bank of California had sold the building to William Gustafson and Mark Neumann's Columbia Development, "a Manhattan Beach-based hotel investment and development firm," for an undisclosed sum. With backing from local preservation groups, it was to be the "central city's first major new hotel in nearly a decade."[5]
Columbia Development Group, in partnership with Bear Stearns, JPMorgan Partners and Standard Holdings, converted the office building into a hotel operated by The Standard Hotels chain, run by Andre Balazs, which had opened its first boutique hotel in Hollywood in 1999.[4] The conversion was designed by Koning Eizenberg Architecture, Inc.[7][8] [4] and was constructed by Sam Martel of Taisei Construction. Christy McAvoy of Historical Resources Group was the historic preservation consultant.
The Standard Downtown LA opened in May 2002[10] as a 207-room boutique hotel,[11][6] with a rooftop pool and bar[8] with space for DJs[11] and pool parties,[11] a beer garden,[6][11] a ping pong club, a 24-hour coffee shop[6] and a lobby lounge. In 2011, Los Angeles Weekly included the building's rooftop restaurant as number 5 on its "Top 10 Restaurants in Buildings Designed by Significant Los Angeles Architects" list.[8] The pool on the roof has three "water-bed cabanas housed in plastic pods that resemble something out of a 1960s sci-fi movie."[12]
In 2003, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places based on its architecture, particularly its moderne style and engineering.[2] Also in 2003, The Standard Hotel Downtown was awarded the Los Angeles Conservancy's preservation award, for "bringing a youthful buzz to a 1955 modernist skyscraper on Flower Street downtown."[13]
In 2009, the operator of the Standard Hotel was charged with dumping pool chemicals into the street below in a violation of federal environmental laws.[14] Standard Hotel pled guilty for the incident in 2010.[15] A shooting resulted in a death outside the hotel lobby in 2015.[16][17] In 2016, an injured bystander to the shootout sued the hotel, alleging insufficient security.[18] In May 2017, the food festival Smorgasburg LA debuted a popup residency at the Standard Hotel.[19][20]
The hotel closed temporarily in early 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In December 2021, it was announced that the closure would be permanent as of January 22, 2022.[21]. The hotel reopened on April 1, 2023[22] as the Delphi Hotel.[23]. The building entrance and exterior served as the fictional Brent Building in the television series Perry Mason (1957–1966) in which Mason's office[9] was located in Suite 904.
In the 1987 film RoboCop the building can be seen in the 6000 SUX car commercial.[citation needed]
Significant portions of the 2005 film Kiss Kiss Bang Bang were filmed outside the hotel and in the hotel's lobby, guest rooms, coffee shop, and rooftop bar/pool.[24]
The building was featured in the 2010 film Get Him to the Greek.
In the 2015 film San Andreas, the building collapsed during an earthquake.[citation needed]
The building was featured in the 2018 film Under the Silver Lake.
Built in 1894-95, this Beaux Arts-style ten-story skyscraper was designed by Edward B. Green and William S. Wicks for Robert G. Dun and Company, a business credit rating agency. The building was the first skyscraper in Buffalo, and was clad in orange-brown buff brick with decorative terra cotta trim, one-over-one windows, decorative brick window trim, decorative surrounds at the first floor entry doors on the Pearl Street facade with transoms featuring roman lattice motif, two-story curtain walls with metal spandrels on the first and second floors of the Pearl Street facade, oxeye windows above the entry doors, a rusticated third floor brick exterior, a series of large arched recessed bays with triple windows topped with arched windows between the fourth and seventh floors on the building’s principal facades, with metal spandrel panels and pilasters, two elliptical oxeye windows on the seventh floor of the Pearl Street facade, flanking the central arched window, multiple small cornices, and a red brick scar left where the cornice at the top of the building was removed in the late 20th Century. The building is listed as a historic landmark by the City of Buffalo, and saw its exterior and common spaces mostly restored in the 1980s, though the cornice remains missing.
