What an eyesore. Too bad we don't have more interior photos. The actual artistic expression of Louis' talent.

@deniseparker6346 For many, the Queen Anne style of architecture epitomizes the charm of the Victorian period. If you are a homeowner with a Queen Anne house, the exterior maintenance can be a costly nightmare searching for specialist craftsmen able to repair or restore

@deniseparker6346 The Queen Anne style of architecture was derided as a mongrel assemblage of various historical designs even in itsheyday. This behemoth of a building is visually ungainly, full of Stanford White's quirky innovations that add nothing but novel twists and turns to an already overwhelming display of more is better. I don't like it, even as period architecture.

@mgenigma5 I happen to like brutalism. I would much rather be faced with the prospect of hosing some birdsh¡t off of a concrete wall than finding a specialist woodworker to replace 150 handcut shingles and pay someone willing to climb 50 feet in the air to remove the broken and rotted old ones and nail the new ones back in place.
