Thank you so much, aoife! I did not know about that site. I already found some early construction photos. I will contact them to find out more about their usage rules. And thank you for just a...

Okay, to end the furor I have removed all images. Sorry to have caused so much consternation.

I am definitely guilty of displaying photos without permission, yes.

But steal and theft are...

^Your pics are gone as requested. Those were really cool night pics by the way.

The audience for this site is literally the people on this message thread and a couple of cousins. The domain...

^No, I'm not getting paid at all for this.
Southen, of course I will remove your pics if you want. Can you just tell me which ones they are? Would you prefer I credit you in the caption and the...

As I'm learning more web tools [[specifically JQuery and Bootstrap) I have reloaded and revamped the site entirely. I hope the background doesn't make it too cluttered. I was going for a Gatsby kind...

I know what some of you mean about sculptural buildings sometimes being eyesores. I personally cannot find anything appealing, even as an intellectual exercise, in the dreadful works of Rem...

Art and architecture books tend to only cite the works that alter the course of the field a degree or two. That also provides both the author and a reader with a narrative with which to chart the...

^Agree. Beautiful building. I love Art Deco so much. You don't see that kind of stonework anymore. Does anyone have pics of the original interiors? Anything special?

I agree that it's ridiculous to be electing judges. We kind of do that anyway by electing representatives who appoint judges. There should be one branch of government that is not beholden to the...

^The auditorium picture won't display, but thanks for the lobby pic. The lobby doesn't look all that different but I can tell from attending concerts that there has been a major modernization in the...

I have always wondered what the Royal Oak Theater's interior originally looked like. I've never found any pictures.

Yes, I know it's open. But it's not the main entrance anymore. The main entrance is considered Farnsworth and that's where most will enter. That's where you're directed. Unless that changed...

A bit off topic, but as nice as most of the renovations to the DIA have been this past decade, I can't forgive their awful decision to move the main entrance from the grand Woodward facade to the...

Thanks everyone. I will make those corrections over the next few days. So it's Kahn and not Khan as in "Wrath of".

Hello. I've been a visitor to this site since 1999 but don't post often. I have a [[useless) degree in architecture and I'm now back in college for web design. So naturally my first website for...

When there is an accident on a freeway or a coal mine you do not need to evacuate the entire state.

Excellent post! Amazing how few people realize the parties have switched sides. Whenever I see McCain or his like say they're proud to be part of the party of Lincoln or TR I think to myself that...

Can I post about a new old book? I was amazed to see Hawkins Ferry's "Buildings of Detroit" back in print! It's at the Detroit store in Somerset. Same $99 as...

Are there any pictures of the Penobscot's lobby as it looked originally before it was filled in with floors? There's a hint of an incredible arcade in a picture from the "Cathedral of Finance" book...

I've only been seeing links to the pics and not embedded pics in the threads for the last couple of weeks. Is it like that for everyone or have I altered my display settings somehow?

Mr. Crane wrote an article for Architectural Forum in 1925 in which he eloquently describes his design theory and discusses the recent Capitol Theater [[Opera House) and the State Theater "under...

I've been planning to go to this exhibit. I went to the 2004 exhibit at the Detroit Science Center and was very impressed with how it was presented. I've been wondering if this is essentially the...

I'm glad it all went well. I work at Barnes & Noble and whenever there is a PBS pledge drive concert people call by the dozens asking for the CDs. I'm sure there will be a particularly big interest...

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but Gistok mentioned the original open interior of the Penobscot. I believe the only picture of it that I've ever seen was a tiny footnote in a book about the...

Any pictures of the interior in its heyday?
