Shadowless Lights of Modern Operating Rooms, Hazelwood Sanatorium, Louisville, Kentucky
While the two-over-one light wood windows within this view are no doubt original to the Circa 1895 building of the Hazelwood Sanatorium, Louisville, Kentucky, the operating room seen above has been modernized as it appears in the manner of such rooms just before the Second World War.

For Once We Like A Modern Storefront?
Modern Storefront, Designed by V.S. Klein, Art Director, Electrical Products Corporation, Seattle, Washington

Spanning from the 300s to 700s of Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, the street fair was a real French Sunday. After reviewing images and much reflection, we got to [...]
WE STILL MOURN THE PENN COACH STEAM PLANT and SCORN OTHERS…
Built in 1929, the Penn Coach Yard Chimney was constructed by the Pennsylvania Rail Road and, on Sunday, November 15, 2009, it was imploded, as it had not been of use to the rail road since it closed in 1964. Apparently, it is sad but true that utility and, unfortuantely, money dictate everything.
The chimney was [...]
