    It remind me of an old registry office in Pontefract, Yorkshire, England.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Very unusual proportions in this architecture Jim.

    LOVE this structure. I really like the contrast between the symmetry of the upper section with the asymmetry of the ground floor. The single exterior material just makes a perfect pallet for the absolutely beautiful decoration in the stone work. Thanks for sharing this little treasure.
