Architecture

President William Henry Harrison House located in Vincennes, Indiana.

The New Moon Theater ... its art deco styling now houses a church.

This is the front and end view of the house that use to belong to my Aunt.

I need to get back and take some more pictures of this house. This is an old Mavica image from my files. This house was built for Dr. Robert Stokes.

The Ruins

Sadly, no longer there. Not just a barn converted to a house, but many barns converted to a house like structure. www.roadsideamerica.com/attract/INBOWbarn.html www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-pmKf7lcNk

I was returning to the office one evening and ended up parked in traffic gridlock on a road that I'd traveled thousands of times before. This time, while I was setting there, I saw a house that I'd never noticed before ... obviously a very grand house at one time, but looking pretty worn and tired that day. I commented to the student trainee riding with me that the house must have been really something in it's day ... and I didn't think anymore about it. Later that winter I got interested in researching a famous local architect, Avriel Shull. I decided to track down the house where she once lived and worked. I was somewhat surprised when I arrived at the very same spot I found myself stuck in traffic before some months before. The house was no longer there ... and the only thing marking its former existence was some rubble, bits of its foundation and the swimming pool. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avriel_Shull en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid_Century_Modern

The United World College-USA was founded in 1982 through the philanthropy of the late Dr. Armand Hammer. I would have like a closer look at this place, but their security guards kept us out. I did map all around it though. The United World College-USA is located in Montezuma, New Mexico, six miles (10 km) from Las Vegas, New Mexico.

Part of the old Haynes Automobile Factory. It became a part of the Chrysler Motors as a transmission plant. Now ... it's an indoor auto salvage yard.
