I've added a new building to my town layout. Its modeled after the now
demolished Academy of Music in Kalamazoo Michigan. The original was designed
by Louis Sullivan himself and opened in 1883. It was torn down in 1967.
My building is three stories with a decorative white and red facade and roof
spire. The front wall is built from standard bricks and lots and lots of 1x1
red and white plates. The back walls are built of 2x4 bricks. All in all a
nice addition to the town.
I have more of a description on my webpage...

Note: The roof access hatch looks orange in the photo but is actually red.
Let me know what you think. Thanks!!!

| David & All, (...) Wow David! You really got the feeling right in terms of the real building and the LEGO version. It is neat to see the actual building and the history as well. Great rendition. : ) Scott S. -- (22 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.town)

| (...) Whoa, that rocks. Any other Sullivan buildings out there in LEGOspace? (Sullivan was mentor to my hero, Frank...) Maybe we can get the inimitable J Lopes to take on doing the Flatiron building since he's close enough to get pics of the real (...) (22 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.town)

| (...) Very nice. Your model has a lot of the character of the original. It'll look great in the next GATS layout, if you're going to bring it. Amy (22 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.town)
