Bwphotocontest 601 Lexington
This is me 2nd entry in @daveks B&W Photo Contest this weeks theme is architecture
This building has an interesting story, from what I remember reading
it is built over a Lutheran Church which occupied one corner of the site
So a design with the first 9 floors being basically stilts and a Chevron support structure and all was going well with construction till a design student studied the building and found miscalculations in how much wind the building could withstand
So major upgrades were needed and successfully completed otherwise if a fairly big storm had hit the city there would have been a chance it could have collapsed
This was all back in 1978 and the building still stands proud and looks cool
Great picture!
Thanks :)
that's a great pic thanks a lot for sharing and keep on posting ;)
Thanks
Beautiful building i love the black and white edit
Thanks it is cool looking building thanks have a good evening
Great angle, to show off that point of the corner!
:) thanks this was my favorite shot of it
Thank goodness the design student saw the potential disaster. It is a striking building and it must be sound if it is still standing strong. Thank-you for sharing your photo!
And thanks for your visits truly appreciated
I like to support those that I like and who really deserve the vote!
:) thanks again
