That's a beautiful condo. Do you know anything about the building, historic or other? ;-)

Classic shot of the condo with a strong symmetrical feel created by your perspective.

I was curious myself, Sandi, but the only building history info I was
able to find is this architechtural drawing and construction date(s)
of 1929 and 1932.

A great looking entry way. Compositionally I’d leave out the windows or narrow down
the one on the left like the one on the right. A lamp and address plate would also work
on it’s own. Just the doors and handles is another comp and on and on. Does the bldg.
look the same near the top as it does in the illustration?

Actually, Jeff, contrary to how it appears in the drawing,the street
is very narrow and the building is now in the middle of a block with
high rises and so many trees that the leaves blocked my view of the
upper floors and I never thought to check out the upper floors of the
building....I passed this bldg. on my way to visit a friend at St.
Joseph Hospital, on the next block.

Thanks, Bruce. Indeed it's a impressive old building. Maybe it was a hotel at that time?
