Description
This is part of D.H. Burnham's 1909 Edison Building, located at 61 West Adams in Chicago. It's right next door to the Marquette Building (bottom right-hand corner, in shadow) but when I took this shot I wasn't looking for the Marquette, which is way more famous.
Dang. Guess I'll have to go back! :)

You're the master at capturing this kind of architectural detail - fine work...
I think you were looking at exactly the right thing! Great and interesting shot!
a wonderful building and deco!!
This is a beautiful crisp and clear shot.
The light was perfect for you, but then even in adverse circumstances you still make outstanding architectural pics! What a magnificent structure!
super section
Fine day.
WOW!! Indeed an impressive building, Tara. Looks so beautiful. Excellent capture:)
Ah, so typical of the turn of the century architecture! So much one almost drowns in it. You had good fortune with the lighting - just the right angle to bring out the detail work. Beautiful architecture, more durable than today's. Nice photo! Keep up the good work! :-) Happy Easter to you and Bill!
They don't make them like that anymore. Excellent capture. :)
Excellent POV I love those arched windows, these old buildings knock the modern ones into a cocked hat IMHO.
Well, got to say I love the green touches! A great effect on the building.. Good shot Tara.. Next LOL Rob
Very nice!
Good capture and POV !
Excellent POV! Wonderful details and lighting! :)
Hehe - like you needed an excuse! LOL! Wonderful capture of this great old building! Just look at all the wonderful detail in this - don't make 'em like that anymore..
A wonderful capture of this amazing architecture!!!
It is a beautiful old building and I can see a lot of detail in this capture of it. It is a good excuse to take another road trip to Chicago.
This is one of those shots that makes me stop and wonder where this building IS. I mean, you gave the address and I know that I've seen it. But I've just had one of those "Absolutely Fabulous" moments akin to the character Edina Monsoon walking out of a store with her best friend, Patsy, and seeing that their rented car has been given the Denver Boot. Of course with Edina being who she is, she simply looked at the booted car with a quizzical expression and nodded toward the clamped wheel and asked: "Sweetie, has that always been there?" I get that kind of feeling with this picture. I know this building; I've seen it. But I had absolutely no clue that I saw it in Chicago and so now I have to go looking for it. Funny how that works. And I have to say that I love the light and the details, especially the lion heads. This is super! Wonderful colors!
Fascinatingly gorgeous Tara!!!! Love the old stuff:)
Fascinating. A bit heavy on the ornamentation but that separates it from so many modern buildings. Nicely composed. Looking forward to our next trip.
A beautiful old building Tara and I like the way you arranged the setting!
