Description
The 1929 Carbide and Carbon Building in Chicago, Illinois.
I hear it's been converted to a Hard Rock Hotel. That might be worth checking out! (I love this building.)

This is a great POV looking up at this beautiful ornate door. Very well captured Tara and thanks for the info on my 'avalanche', always welcome and useful.
That is some door.
Pretty grand entrance, and a nice shot of it!
beautiful architecture and colors; I love the pov !
Very beautiful !!
'Magnificent' doesn't do it justice!! A superb photo.
Fantastic door.
It certainly is a sumptuous entrance of gigantic proportions, very 'Art Nouveau-ish' - methinks! (a lot of brass to polish and why wouldn't you?) It shines Tara ... BB
never forget carborundum for a good grind
Beautiful Art Nouveau architecture. Perfect symmetry in the photo. Interesting reflections showing what the other side of the street looks like. The reflection of the car in the left revolving door looks like the car is inside the lobby! Quite fun! Keep up the good work! :-)
