thanks for viewing and any comments
I removed two street signs and posted worked the street to appear to more of the time period. I did not want to use sepia so the granite's color could be appreciated

Good choice with the color photo. The building is old all on its own, and sepia wouldn't have added a thing. What a great building!
kind of reminds me of a set in hollywood at one of the settings lol neat !!
Wow, Excellent image!! ROBY
Great shot and post work
This is a really outstanding shot with an outstanding building! I see it has some areas that need more attention but for the most part, it looks well cared for. Your postwork is good and I appreciate not using sepia since the natural color is extremely pleasing.
Great shot - and the manipulation is superb
this is cool, Richard a lot of awes and smiles too sweet weekend to you warm hug, Linda
Cool building, love the old stones and post work, excellent capture and work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wonderful shot...i love the historic nature of this building....
Very interesting capture..thanks for the info! :)
Beautiful image and postwork!!!
Very nice historical building. Interesting to see how this real stone classic architectural style was later interpreted with concrete, keeping at the beginning roughly the same shapes.
Awesome shot and your colors and post work are superb! Impressive structure.
Beautiful capture and building!!
A really unusual building , dear Richard. Excellent work. Hugs. Diane. xx
Magnificent building..terrific work Richard!!
What a really fine shot Richard. Love knowing a little of the history of my bank too. LOL. Thief got away.
what a building ! Nice archtecture...
You did really great work!
You did a fantastic job with the postwork Richard, It's a pity the planners didn't shift the power pole to somewhere else, don't they realise people want to take photo's. Lol. There has been many I time I could scream when a pole like that gets in the way. I'm glad you didn't go for Sepia. A beautiful building, and like Nekhbetsun, I prefer old to modern any day. Too much glass in modern for my liking. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!
May it survive the current storm. It's a shame, they realy don't build them like this anymore... I'll take this kind of architecture over glass & steel any day! Great post!!!
Fine architecture and capture of it!
