19. That really is ugly. Are there NO architects out there who know how do to proper Beaux-Arts
Edited on Sun Aug-22-10 01:43 PM by smalll
stuff anymore?

Reminds me of a huge place sold out in New Jersey recently - just as hideous.

There's really nothing wrong with classical, columns-and-pediments stuff. But there must be some architects out there who know how to do it right. I guess they're all too busy at architecture school learning how to create Gehry-style buildings that look like crumpled-up paper.
