Broad Street Christian Church - Columbus, Ohio

1049 East Broad Street - Built in 1903, this church is in the Olde Towne East neighborhood of Columbus just east of downtown.

Sandy Springs Health Center - Sandy Springs, Georgia

330 Johnson Ferry Road NE - This little gem sits just a few blocks from my house and I had driven past it probably a hundred times and never seen it.  This is not entirely my fault since it's situated back off the road nestled between some retirement towers and a shopping center on a one way street virtually invisible unless you look back in the other direction after you've passed it.  Brad spotted it while we were out a couple of weeks ago.  It's so cute (a word I despise and hate to use) that I would love to make it into a house.  I love the horizontality of the building, the large picture window, the dual support poles for the entry and the trio of windows located there which slant inward when open.  Built in 1948 and designed by McDonald and Company Architects.

Coca Cola Bottling Company - Los Angeles, California

1334 South Central Avenue - This wonderful ship-like structure sailed into port sometime between 1936 and 1939.  The building was designed by Robert V. Derrah.  Unfortunately I only got this one picture as we breezed by one day in the car.

 

 

Lake Region Hotel - Winter Haven, Florida

137 5th Street NW - Located on Central Park in downtown Winter Haven, this building was originally the Lake Region Hotel but these days serves as an office building.  Luckily this structure has retained most of its exterior decorative elements.  I've included an old postcard of the Lake Region Hotel that I found online.

Lan-Fair Federal Credit Union - Pickerington, Ohio

35 West Columbus Street - Just a nice little mod bank from 1961.

Metra Station Entrance - Chicago, Illinois

Michigan Avenue - I love this Metra Station entrance for the Van Buren Street Station.  The Art Nouveau-style Paris Metro entrance was a gift to Chicago from the city of Paris in 2001.

Frank Lloyd Wright Home & Studio - Oak Park, Illinois

951 Chicago Avenue - Frank Lloyd Wright lived and worked here from 1889 to 1909.  These pictures are all from a visit back in July 2005.  Visit the official site.
