And now it's gyprock (drywall) and bricks. We got nothing these days! Love that curved timber arch above the door and the copper brace. That lion has a 'Roman' feel to it.

What do you mean: bricks? Plastic siding! Thank God for oil, eh?

If it were not for oil, we would have to put up with real architecture.

Nice details, edG, well executed.

Cheers Ma and Matt and don't get me started on modern building materials.

Looks like a lovely old building.

We live in a plastic house. It was all you could buy around here, because most of the old houses in this area are just worn out. I'd love some of the materials and the details you've caught here.
