Description
Remember the rather plain-looking building from yesterday? From a distance, Saint Edwards Seminary just looks like a big, boring building.
Up close you see a different story. There's an incredible amount of detail on this place. This is the secondary entrance on the right-hand side of the building. All this detail is why I never show you all of something. The bits and pieces are SO much more incredible!
The Latin above the door says, Omnibus Omnia Factus Sum which translates into English as I am become all things to all men.
The architectural style is Romanesque Revival, for those of you keeping track at home. Saint Edwards was completed in 1931.

That old austere looking building has taken on a whole new meaning. a lovely snippet Tara.

Interesting that this type of decor was still made in 1931, considering the depression and all. Nice camera angle, giving a good view of the arch. And giving an inkling of decroations above without giving them away! So now you have another photo of the same part of the building to show us. Nice with the inner side of the arch showing through the stain glass windows. It draws one in despite the closed doors. What do we see inside the closed doors? Another topic for another photo? Keep up the good work! :-)

It shows how wealthy the Catholic Church was (and is) that it could afford such classy architecture at that time. Terrific shot, can't wait to see more!

Think of the talent those stone masons had to create this art work. They did not have the machines we have today. Nice detail.

It's a wonderful and subtly ornate design...great POV, and I KNOW why you usually only show parts of things; those parts are art!

I recon the inscription says "All buses stop here" LOL! Fantastic details Tara, I can certainly see why you save those little gems for later.

When I first saw this building I was a bit put off by what I thought was an austere design...these details and your creative presentation changes my earlier take on this wonderful architectural gem. Nice work. We will have to seek out other buildings built under the watch of Bishop O'Dea... Oh, just found where he is buried...Holyrood Catholic Cemetery, Shoreline, Washington. He built St James Cathedral for the Diocese of Seattle at 804 Ninth Avenue, Seattle (completed 1907). There is also the very architectually rich O'Dea High School founded in 1923 at 802 Terry Ave., Seattle. Never a shortage of places to go seeking new photos:)
