The Ellicott Square Building is an office complex in Buffalo, New York, USA. It was designed by Charles Atwood of D. H. Burnham & Company, and completed in May, 1896. At the time of its completion, it was the largest office building in the world.[1] In 1896 and 1897, the building was the site of Edisonia Hall and the Vitascope Theater, which is the earliest known dedicated motion picture theater in the world.[2]

At 10 stories high – with the capacity to support 10 more floors – and 500,000 square feet (46,000 m2), the Ellicott Square Building was the largest office building in the world for the sixteen years after it opened in 1896. It was built at a cost of $3.5 million in less than one year. The building was named after Joseph Ellicott, the planner and surveyor who laid out the then-village of Buffalo.

All i can say is this was not a friendly cat... LOL Those eyes though... I liked the color of the building and the terrazo steps take me back to my childhood..

IL SOLE NEL TERRAZZO. THE SUN IN THE TERRACE

Rosso fuoco.Poi, improvvisamente, è notte. Ma prima che diventi buio, sono questi i colori che regala il cielo al tramonto. Ed il sole può creare autentiche magie tra i terrazzi dei condomini con gli ignari inquilini tutti presi al rito della meritata cena.

State of Illinois building. I was going to do a big write up about it. Maybe some other day. It is a polarizing building. In some ways it is the ugliest in Chicago - and in some ways it is one of the coolest.

Terrific Thursday to you.

Special good luck and thoughts of strength, peace and love to my flickr friend Jeanne today. She is going to need it.

I sure love these "teardrop" lights located on the side of the former Hartfields Department Store located on Foothill Blvd. in Hayward,CA. The terrazo floor signs remain in place on both sides of the building where the entrances were located. Sadly they have been rotting away as the building is vacant.

In the haste of holiday decorating, an ornament is inadvertently discarded. Precariously cushioned by protective wires, rather than suffering the expected break from falling to the terrazo floor, this ornament was only temporarily rejected and eventually retrieved for its typical display. :) Naples, FL

Blackpool's £60,000, coach station, which was built on the site of the old Coliseum garage and bus park in Tyldesley Road, was opened in 1936. Although by no means the largest in the country, there is little doubt that the station set a new standard so far as luxury was concerned. The exterior was faced with beige, light green and black terracotta, whilst inside, all the flooring was in terrazo; the panelling, doors and seating were in polished walnut, and the metal fittings in bronze and chromium steel.

It featured a spacious arcade, central-heated, divided the building into portions. On the left was a fully equipped café, messrooms for drivers and conductors, a parcels and luggage depot and a newspaper kiosk. On the right were booking and inquiry offices, managerial quarters, a row of telephones for the public, another kiosk and conveniences. Time was at hand in every room, with no fewer than 11 electric clocks installed throughout the station. At the rear, and on the Hopton Road side, were covered arrival and departure platforms, designed to facilitate the handling of large crowds. The station provided shelter for around 2,000 people.

Seven Lancashire and Yorkshire operators were among the shareholders in Blackpool Omnibus Stations, Ltd., owners of the coach centre, and the station was to be used equally by combine and independent concerns. The combine transferred several express services to the new centre, especially those operating between Manchester and Blackpool.

Chicago neighborhood Pullman, This restaurant was ran by Harry Theoharis which makes sense with the big population of Greeks that use to be in Pullman area in the early 1900's.

This beautiful building has been fully restored to showcase it's grand stairways, marble floors, and it's gorgeous 1920's decor. Opened in 1926, the G.A. Ensenberger Furniture store brought new life to the downtown Bloomington Area. Bringing its elegant, stylish design to the Central Illinois region brought many new customers to the area. This seven-story building, designed by the ever-popular Arthur Pillsbury, has been a historical monument in the downtown Bloomington area ever since.

Brief History:

1926 - $250,000 plus-building completed following the death of the architect, Arthur L. Pillsbury in October 1925

1926 - Building housed business founded by Gustave A. Ensenberger, a local carpenter, selling locally produced and handmade furniture

1941 - Gothic spires that originally topped the building removed in an attempt to make the building look more modern

1995 - Ensenberger's Furniture store closed

2005 - Renovations for the new Ensenberger condominiums was underway for developer Merle Huff, Russel Francois & Associates, architect

The Fox Studio City Theatre has ended up like a lot of single screen theater's in the LA area.........closed down and then re-modeled inside to support a retail store, in this case the theater is now the home for Bookstar........ Opened in 1938 the theater was designed in a Art Moderne style by architect Clifford A. Balch. It was a popular neighborhood theater until closing when the Mann theater chain decided not to renew their lease, thankfully the buildings facade, terrazo, ticket booth and marquee remain to show what once was a grand movie theatre.

Post Office

401 Main Street

Iowa Falls, Iowa

The Iowa Falls Post Office is a Neoclassical building, built under the administration of William McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury, with Oscar Wendroth, supervising architect. The style was influenced by the architecture of the 1893 Colombian Exposition in Chicago and was considered to be most appropriate for public buildings. The high stone foundation, broad entrance stairs, and pediments portico are all important elements of the style. While federal buildings in larger towns were often constructed of stone, those in smaller communities utilized brick. Neo-Classical in design, it is constructed of dark red brick laid in English cross-bond, creating an interesting pattern. The building rests on a high foundation of North Carolina granite. The symmetrical facade features a pediment portico with four monumental Doric columns 30" in diameter and 22' high. Three tall round arched openings are located at the back of the portico. The main entrance is in the middle. Above the entrance is a beautiful Della Robia type swag. The interior of the building has retained a high level of integrity. The 13' x 35' lobby retains its white oak woodwork, marble-terrazo floor and vaulted ceiling. The round arched openings of the exterior are continued on the interior with multi-pane windows allowing light to pass from one space to another. One landscaping element is of note. The U.S. Government purchased the land from Abigail Estes Foster in 1909. Abigail had planted peonies in the south lawn, which are still there today.

Terrazo entrance in Cambridge, Ohio.

Zaskakujący na cmentarzu jest grób małego dziecka w formie aniołka śpiącego na poduszce. Znajdował się między dziecięcymi pomnikami na tyłach kaplicy Scheiblera, ale był głeboko w ziemi i ukryty w bluszczach, dlatego nie został wcześniej zauważony. Grób pochodzi z 1909 roku i został wykonany z lastrika. Nie wiadomo, kim było dziecko, dla którego wykonano rzeźbę, bo trudno odczytać napis zrobiony gotykiem. Najpewniej był to chłopiec i miał cztery lata, gdy zmarł. Pomnik został uratowany w 2005 roku. Gdy robiłam to zdjęcie 2 listopada, grób był udekorowany kwiatami i zniczami.

Sorprendente en el cementerio es la tumba de un niño pequeño en la forma de un ángel que duerme sobre una almohada. Se encontraba entre los monumentos de los niños en la parte de atras de la capilla de Scheibler pero fue profundamente escondida en el suelo y cubierta por la hiedra asi que nadie sabia sobre su existencia. La tumba data de 1909 y es de terrazo. No se sabe quien era este niño, para quien se hizo esta escultura, porque es difícil de leer la inscripción hecha en letra gótica. Lo más probable es que fue un niño y tenía cuatro años cuando murió. El monumento fue salvado en 2005. Cuando hice esta foto el 2 de noviembre, la tumba estaba decorada con flores y velas.

Surprising in the cemetery is the grave of a small child in the form of an angel sleeping on a pillow. The grave is between the children's monuments at the back of the chapel of Scheibler but it was deep in the ground and hidden in ivy so it hasn’t been previously noticed. The tomb dates from 1909 and is made of terrazzo. There is no knowladge who was a child for whom the sculpture was made because it is difficult to read the inscription made in blackletter. Probably it was a boy and was four years old when he died. The monument was saved in 2005. When I did this picture on the 2nd of November, the tomb was decorated with flowers and candels.

The FOX Theatre, located at 17 W. Congress St in Tucson Arizona. Open! [ I also have 3 photos from November of 2008.. Seen here.. www.flickr.com/search/?w=99859572@N00&q=FOX%20THEATRE...]

This structure started being built around August of 1929 thru April of 1930.

**The theatre was going to be named the Tower, but in September, 1929, Fox West Coast Theatres acquired the property. The Fox Theatre opened on April 11, 1930, with 1,300 seats and the film “Chasing Rainbows”. In 1974, due to competition from TV, multiplexes, and drive-ins, the Fox Theatre closed. The decades long closure did not dim the memories of those who once came here. Various efforts to revive the theatre were unsuccessful, but luckily the property was spared the wrecking ball. In 1997, the Fox Revival Committee began to look to ways to save the theatre. They organised the non-profit Fox Tucson Theatre Foundation. The foundation purchased the Fox in the Spring 2000. Thirteen million dollars was spent on the theatre’s rehabilitation and restoration. The Fox was extensively restored. The original 1930 ticket booth had been modernised in 1940 and been replaced in 1956, but was recreated and today serves as a ‘will-call’ booth. EverGreene Painting Studio of New York restored the murals. The walls of the lobby and auditorium were repainted to their original colors. The lobby’s original terrazo floor was restored. The original carpet was replicated. Original chair fabric (with the same Art Deco pattern as the original chairs at Philadelphia’s Boyd Theatre) was discovered by a volunteer in a balcony seat and was replicated. The Fox theatre was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. The movie palace reopened on New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2005. As of 2007, the movie screen is 38 feet wide and 16 feet six inches tall.**

The structure was built Circa:. 1929/1930.

One of the smaller cultivated Calatheas, with a unique terrazo-like patterning.

San Francisco, California

here is the story:

Frank Brown and William Campbell were lovers.

They were gay men who lived together for 50 years in a house that I visited on Sunday.

They painted their whole lives. Together. Hidden in this house. This fantastic house that's across the street from where the Old Mayor of San Francisco used to live, and the outside of his house was designed by McLaren who did Golden Gate Park ( and Central Park for that matter)

This whole part of the city is a portal.

It's 21/Sanchez if you wanna go up there.

Wow.

And apparently the Mayor built a ballroom for his lover there in some other house with a leather floor. A leather floor. How does that work? How do you dance on it with high heels without wrecking it? What a sexy thing to do for someone.

And a terrazo is there with stone from Italy and he had an Italian man install it for several months and the lover's sister came to live with them to cook for them. Stories.

They told me all of this on our walk together after tea.

Amazing things like this come into my life and I have to write about it.

Elizabeth tells me it's because I am amazing. I am definitely blessed.

So blessed, not in the Christian sense, in the "I surrender to living my life fully" and then really great things happen kind of blessed.

I tried to take pictures, I tried, and this is as far as I got.

The parlor, the room full of paintings, the kitchen with 100 paintings everywhere.

The house is filled with almost 600 paintings that Dexter has documented every morning, he used to deliver mail and now he photographs paintings and this is his life, documenting the lives of these two guys who no one has seen their work, ever.

I was inspired.

So Dexter and his very cool wife Judith and I talked and hung out and went for a walk with the dog Pilot and had tea.

Life is incredible. They are the trustees of this house, of their art, and these two pictures don't really say anything... I will go back to visit because we really liked each other and try, TRY to capture the enormousness of their work together, their life together.

That is what touched me the most.

They were very private, they hardly ever had people over and now that they are dead, all of their work is everywhere, and all of the things they collected, and oh how they loved to collect beautiful things..... it was a total honor.

How did this happen?

How did I meet this wonderful people who live in this wonderful house of art?

I met Dexter at the art auction where I had 4 photographs in the show and he told me their story.

I will definitely tell you when the site that shows all of their work goes live.

His son has built it and it's quite good.

I gave my critique and it's helped things.

It's so beautiful, and these two guys were CRAZY talented like Old Masters.

I'm excited to see what happens!

I have been trying to help with the whole thing. This is a love story. It's worth the effort to help them get these artists who are both dead out into the world. The paintings they did in Mexico were in the 30's and 40's and were greatly influenced by Diego Rivera. Their classical style is incredible. Bill used to teach at the Art Institute but he hated the art world so they were never popular while they were living but they did sell while they were alive.

Dexter told me about how he found Bill on the floor , dead one day. It was grim. And that's the way it goes.

We go when we are ready. You should see their garden. So many secret places of bliss that people have here in this city, the golden city of San Francisco.

People create this heaven for themselves. And you would never know unless you are invited into it. So many portals of heaven. You can breathe it in. And you have it wherever you want to have it. You can have it anywhere. I just prefer to have my heaven here, but I am willing to switch locations. i know other heavens are out there.

NEW YORK CITY SERENADE- BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

El San Remo (núm. 145 i 146 de Central Park West) és una cooperativa d'apartaments de luxe a Nova York situats entre els carrers 75 i 76. Entre els veïns que viuen i han viscut a San Remo es troben: Tiger Woods, Steven Spielberg, Donna Karan, Steve Jobs, Demi Moore, Glenn Close, Dustin Hoffman, el líder d'U2 Bono, Steve Martin, Bruce Willis, Eddie Cantor , Jackie Leo i alguns empresaris com Dodi Al-Fayed, Aaron Spelling o Rita Hayworth qui pasà el seu últim any de vida allà. L'accés als apartaments es realitzava a través de luxosos rebedors amb sòl de terratzo, parets de marbre i llums de bronze i vidre. El San Remo ocupa dos nombres del Carrer Central Park West, el 145 i el 146, això és així pel fet que l'edifici es va dissenyar perquè cada meitat tingués la seva pròpia entrada. Això evitava malgastar terreny per connectar els diferents rebedors.

El acceso a los apartamentos se realizaba a través de lujosos recibidores con suelo de terrazo, paredes de mármol y lámparas de bronce y cristal. El San Remo ocupa dos números de la Calle Central Park West, el 145 y el 146, esto es así debido a que el edificio se diseñó para que cada mitad tuviera su propia entrada. Esto evitaba malgastar terreno para conectar los diferentes recibidores.
