     (...) Wow, post a message and check to see if it worked, and theres this one right there! Cool building, i've been thinking of building a library too. I like the US flag idea, i'm gonna have to track a few down (anyone got some they'd give up?). The (...) (23 years ago, 11-Apr-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town, lugnet.build.arch)
    
         Re: BrickTopia Public Library —Brad Hamilton
     Thanks for the compliments. Actually, I have no clue where I got that American flag. I've had it for a long time. Anyone know where these came from? Yes - The 4x4x6 curved panels were very time consuming to "clean" with Brasso! Brad Josh Baakko (...) (23 years ago, 12-Apr-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town, lugnet.build.arch)

     (...) There was a moon landing set from the late 1970's that had one. Maybe that was it? --Bill. (23 years ago, 12-Apr-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town, lugnet.build.arch)

      (...) There was also an accessory pack from the late '70s which had, I think six national flags (I have a Union Flag, a Swiss Flag and an Australian flag left) perhaps with some other bits, there may have been a Stars and Stripes in there too.

         Re: BrickTopia Public Library —Brad Hamilton
     I'm still trying to figure out where I got this. My part isn't yellowed and looks brand new. I do recall trading with someone as a kid and he had that moon landing set, but I'd be really surprised if it was in that good of shape from so long ago. I (...)

   (...) high ceilings, 12 or so bricks above the floor. Any particular reason to this? They seem to work well, but I'm not sure what it is I really like about it... -JDF (23 years ago, 12-Apr-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town, lugnet.build.arch)
   
        Re: BrickTopia Public Library —Brad Hamilton
   Hi, Thanks for the compliments. I have several reasons for having high ceilings: - In many forms of classical architecture, extremely high ceilings are the norm. For instance, one famouse Italian architect, Paladio, recommends having a ceilling as (...) (23 years ago, 12-Apr-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town, lugnet.build.arch)

   (...) Seems many buildings in the US are this way, too. But that's just 'cause they put small rooms in 'em. But seriously, though, it makes sense. Many lobbies of tall buildings are the equivalent of three or four stories high. -JDF (23 years ago, 13-Apr-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town, lugnet.build.arch)
