Whoa! That IS some detail in the brick work. These people were proud of that building, had money to spend on it, wanted it to be admired, and wanted it to last. Super detail work, amigo.

The brick work fascinates me.As does the signage.Great shot!

Great detail...what a Story it could tell...Czesc!

real good looking building

I grew up in an area of Polish farmers. There was always a one or two week wedding going on "over by Ruth." I bought my first car from a Polish mechanic who worked for a Polish ford dealer. One of my uncles was Polish. He took me on a tour of the cement quarry where a great uncle had died in a fall down the elevator. My cousin was the union steward before LaFarge took over and the union was handed a pink slip. This building, lightly vanadalized, with lower brickwork losing it's mortar draws a blank with me. The snow is cold. I remember a day on a hill loading an over heavy Ford torque tube and rear end on a wooden cart made from a Model-T rear axle. It was enough to get me to California and back 16 years later. I met a young Polish woman there who became visitor control girl at Douglas. She later married and bought a Taste-Freeze in Hemet. A image like red winter wheat under the snow waiting for spring to be harvested in it's runt state.

Wow, nice bricks.
