Awning

This is quite a nice building, one of my favorite older buildings in downtown. I particularly like the copper awning surrounding the building -- but looks can be deceiving, and I have no way to know how much of that is actually vintage! The corner in that last picture is periodically hit by turning buses, and was replaced at least once in the few years that I was commuting by there daily (before my commute turned into walking around my apartment) -- but with the artificial patina put on the new panel, you could never tell it was replaced! (I will say, it looked really nice with shiny new copper... I was kind of sad to see it artificially aged so soon.)
