Architecture Vol. 3

Or, camping behind the fishery under the stars.

Layered, just to confuse you.

An old hotel that I remember seeing when I was a child. To me, it was a skyscraper. This building survived the 1964 tsunami that destroyed much of the town and killed 11 people, including several small children. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pitAGlz5x0 The 2011 earthquake in Japan caused another one. The harbor was destroyed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6yvQcQGKvM For several years thereafter, many objects from Japan, some quite sad, have washed up on the coast of Alaska, Canada and mainland USA.

Pull up to the back with your crab boat, get cleaned up for your date.

I can't find the photo of the whole front of the building, but here are some details of the 1930s post office... Gothic revival lamps.

I wish I could get a closer look at the terracotta border with sunbursts! Between the cornice and the roof tiles.

Every time I see this it reminds me of the richly creepy atmosphere of Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California, particularly the study of 1930s millionaire/publisher William Randolph Hearst. thisisamericafoundation.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/library.jpg I toured the place a long time ago and left thinking it would be great to be a millionaire, but I wouldn't dream of spending it like Hearst did.

See PiP for photo of the entire front.
