Hey all,
Over the last month or so I’ve started taking pictures of all of the
interesting buildings in my suburban Chicago area. I’m taking these photos for
several reasons but most importantly I’ve taken them for you, the community. My
hope is that this new gallery will fill the reference void and provide tons of
ideas.

I will be updating this gallery at least once a week so here’s a deep link. Just
change the number at the end to get to the different photos
http://www.maj.com/gallery/roj2323/town-buildings/buildings001.jpg 133 so far
     
If your looking for something specific “I.E. height, age, look, style” please
ask, I may be able to help you. There are literally hundreds of old town
structures in my general area.
Enjoy,
Ondrew
P.S. MANY THANKS TO MICHLUG for pointing out irfanview to me, it was a huge
help.
