I have posted pictures of a couple of buildings I have had kicking around for
awhile.
<http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=214334?
The dark red one was built a few years ago in red, and I recently re-did it in
dark red. It is inspired by a building called The Piano Factory on Bruckner
Blvd in the Bronx. I believe the real building is now home to loft style living
spaces. It is located on the Antique Row section of the Bruckner near the
Willis Ave bridge. It is a cool little neighborhood, but way to much truck
traffic and a huge recycling facility in the area.
The dark orange building was being built about the time ++Lar was in town last
February. It was inspired by a building in Jason Spears' Kalamazoo, Michigan
gallery on maj.com, back when a few of us discussed a town building reference
earlier in the year.
Here is a link to the image in Jasons folder:

Though the buildings are more of the same from me, thoughts and comments are
always appreciated.
Big thanks to Jason for bringing Kalamazoo to us! OnDrew as well, for starting
that topic! And, actually Tim gave some ideas for the dark orange building too.
Thanks Everyone!
Best,
Jonathan

| Absolutely beautiful! When I looked at the first thumbnail I thought that it was a reference picture of a real street. I love the colour choice (that orange is my faviourite lego colour and the dark red and sand green suit each other so well). (...) (18 years ago, 8-Nov-06, to lugnet.town, FTX)

| Jonathan, these buildings are fantastic! When I think about building mech bays, I always think how much more advanced the "Town" builders are when it comes to structure. I look up to folks like you when I build and I think to myself, "the more I (...) (18 years ago, 9-Nov-06, to lugnet.town)

| Those are really great buildings. In image mid-view.jpg there is a wonderful fire station building of what looks like orange blocks with grey highlighted features. I was wondering if you I could get a close up of the brackets on that building. They (...) (18 years ago, 12-Nov-06, to lugnet.town)

| Hey Jonathan, the buildings look great! What is the dark-gray piece that you used to make the 3-wide arches on the 2nd floor of the orange building? I'd love to use that piece for one of my own projects but I don't recognize it. Thanks-- (18 years ago, 13-Nov-06, to lugnet.town)
