    So many fabulous details: Renaissance and Gothic and Classical elements. I like the subtle coloring of the relief designs. And what would we call those things that taper off of the lamp in photo 3?

    I used to think that, apart from its location, the Clearwater Post Office would be my perfect house - Spanish style, orange tile, coquina rock...But I did not know about this architectural gem in Saint Petersburg. Maybe I should go see it sometime.
