Oh my those grand staircases, plus the elevator doors…sigh. Despite those beauties, I must say that the first door is still my fave.
Lovely collection this week.

Sherry, wonderful photos of artistry and building craftmanship that we just do not see much of these days in the new buildings; that old style detailing was a bit labor intensive. Gorgeous!

I’m so glad you spelt it out, Sherry. I hadn’t a clue and nothing about that building says American Indian to me. Very grand! 🙂

I could have included some snaps of the exhibits but it didn’t mix. The exhibits are lovely and well done.
