St. Pius X Catholic Church - Reynoldsburg, Ohio

1051 Waggoner Road - This cool church was built in 1960. Due to the ribs, it reminds me of Space Mountain. I find it interesting how in the 1950's and 60's architecture of all types looked to the future. Everything seems very optimistic. Today we seem to always look back. We seem to suffer from the delusion that everything was better in the past and that we can return to that time. Current architecture certainly reflects this, especially in churches. You can never return to the past, you can only move forward. I wish that more architecture would continue to look forward. Sermon over, amen!

Commercial Building - Winter Haven, Florida

220 2nd Street SW - This Mission Revival retail and office building was built in 1926.

John Storer House - Los Angeles, California

Frank Lloyd Wright's Storer House is located at 8161 Hollywood Boulevard. This is another of FLW's textile-block houses. These works are some of my favorites. The Storer House was built in 1923.

Federal Building - Winter Haven, Florida

98 3rd Street SW - This building is now the home to the US Department Of Agriculture but it was originally a US Post Office. The vintage postcard below shows it in its previous incarnation. Unfortunately this is not a postcard from my collection, but one I found online. The building still seems to be in very good shape (at least on the exterior) with very little alteration.

U.S. Post Office - Marietta, Georgia

257 Lawrence Street - I'm guessing this building was built in the late 50's or early 60's. The original post office became the public library in the early 60's and is now an art museum. Obviously the best feature of this structure is its great zigzag roofline.

Cobb County Offices - Marietta, Georgia

191 Lawrence Street - I love the front of this office building. The rest is only so so but the front is very interesting. I couldn't find any information on this structure but I would guess it was built in the late 50's or 60's. It now houses Cobb County government offices.

Bullock's Wilshire / Southwestern Law School - Los Angeles California

3050 Wilshire Boulevard - The beautiful Bullock's Wilshire department store opened in 1929 and was designed by John & Donald Parkinson. The building is made of steel reinforced concrete, terra cotta, and copper. Bullock's closed in the early 90's and the building was restored and is now occupied by Southwestern Law School.
