- jbay808 6y agoI'm sometimes amazed at the little architectural details found in places like old public school buildings, railway stations, and even power plants, docks, and water distribution infrastructure. A lot of these are utilitarian facilities not designed to show off wealth like manor houses... It must have just been a time where skilled labor was cheap enough to spend on such things.

I don't know what they were thinking, but it seems to have been right around the first world war. I like the Gothic style. The prettiest church I've ever seen: https://s.hdnux.com/photos/65/31/06/13996432/3/850x0.jpg https://s.hdnux.com/photos/65/31/06/13996432/3/850x0.jpg
