Architectural Finds, 06/25/2023
Today's walk was short, I was just going in to DoBro to get some things from target but of course I had to stop and take some pictures along the way. Here are some architectural highlights from the walk there.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
First were these row-houses along Fulton St, and this cool corner window aspect that the end house had.
Built 1882.
Located at 664-674 Fulton St these seemed like they were all the same architect save for the third house in at 668 that looked like it been rebuilt at some point or maybe covered with a brick facade.
You can see some of the rusting from the old Cast-Iron facade that was cutting edge technology in the day in the second picture.

Another row of houses that caught my eye were this row of brownstones with their beautiful ornamentation around the door frames. This is right around the corner at 109-117 S Elliot Pl.
I have no way of knowing if they were all built by the same owners originally as I cant seem to find any records for them online :/, but they were likely built around the turn of the last century 1890-1910 when this style of building was commonly constructed. It was likely that they were built by separate owners/architects, as their ornamental stone decorations aren't all exactly the same.

Moving on, A CHURCH! That's right I love a good ornate church and this one surely delivered. Just look at that gothic stone articulation above the entrance! Its so organic looking, it sends shivers down my spine just looking at it and I want to sink my teeth into it all in one.
Built in 1931 to the tune of the Hanson Place Central United Methodist Church, and today it sits abandoned, boarded up, and full of black mold.
The overall shape of the building is so interesting it has so much going on with its MASSIVE brick pillar motifs, likely intended to vertically gesture up toward the creator.
One source describes it as "Gothic restyled in modern dress, an exercise in massing brick and tan terracotta that might be called cubistic Art Moderne."
Someone with more theological architectural background could go further in depth than I can on it I'm sure, but it's always exciting to see the passionate attention to detail that a good cathedral has in it's architecture.

Next I don't know if I love this one but I just wanted to shout it out as having a BIG clock face! Like that thing is so high upppp it must be 100 feet in diameter!
Without even looking it up I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say this is maybe Brooklyn City Hall, or another government building??? It resembles the thing they're doing in all of the governing buildings I've seen up in Albany.
I don't particularly like this architectural style its boring and chunky in my opinion, but I have to say its not the ugliest thing I've seen. I respect the sense of radial symmetry its upper terraces and flanks suggest, and cmon you cant knock that clock.

Second to last, we have this red & black beauty. Love the Greek-Revival pediments on each wing of the building as well as the renaissance revival inclusions in the carved cords/ribbons hanging in between the pilasters.
After some research, this seems to be an old Schoolhouse built in 1892 that has unfortunately since been absorbed by the ultra-modern townhouse on the end of the street at 81 Hanson Pl and transformed into a massive painting studio/home by painter David Salle. Wish I could find more info on the original schoolhouse tho :/

HONORABLE MENTION: Caught this Mansard Roof moment on my way into the subway station and oof, tug at my heartstrings this is cute.
Across the street from the dream studio/abomination this guy sits pretty at 83 Hanson Pl and is the only brownstone on the block with a cute hat (mansard roof).

Nocturnal echoes: Photographing abandoned beauty in Kansas nights
What did we find to photograph at night in Kansas? It turns out quite a lot. Abandoned airplanes, historic limestone schoolhouses, strange and ancient geologic formations, and more. We explored the Sunflower State to find fascinating subjects. Is Kansas as flat as a pancake? When you tell people you are going on a nocturnal photographic journey to Kansas, they frequently mention how flat it is.…

Mill Run/Hendricks, WV c.1900 **Not my pics**
From the listing: Former schoolhouse. No plumbing or bathroom in the building.
Mill Run, now considered a ghost town, had a smattering of families until about the 1920s. Brights Chapel and cemetery is just a two-minute drive up the road, and it is likely that many of those buried there attended this school. The Bright and Carr families had a big presence. The first Bright (Thomas) was compelled to come to America after he was released from prison in England in 1772. At that time, having a sentence that required transportation to America was considered a fate worse than death. The Brights settled in Mill Run, however, and raised a large family. Descendants of Thomas Bright, John Add and Mary Ann Teter Bright raised six children who more than likely were some of the students who attended the Mill Run school.

Tbh, I don’t like the end result here, but like practice is practice. It’s the schoolhouse from “Freddi Fish 2: The Case of the Haunted Schoolhouse” Which I played a lot as a kid. Made in Blender.
