But each does have a heritage value.<br /><br />I wonder when (if?) we will ever see the heritage value of car parks and shopping centres!<br /><br />Cheers - Stewart M - AustraliaStewart Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04622420206244603688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3946649652245671051.post-56972977063175808232011-06-27T23:12:05.322-04:002011-06-27T23:12:05.322-04:00it's refreshing to see projects like this, it&...it's refreshing to see projects like this, it's a promise for the future by preserving the past. it's a great building, with the repeating roof lines and the colorful brick. great shot EG. it looks like a glorious day.Ms. Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10775088530495290520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3946649652245671051.post-37151917226966849302011-06-27T22:56:06.645-04:002011-06-27T22:56:06.645-04:00I love, appreciate, places like these.
