I am often posting photos at Active Rain that I shot in Italy, Mexico or Canada. For a promotional piece that I am working on, I have taken photos of four or five of the best known buildings in Bellingham. I think that the most distinctive of those has to be the Whatcom County Museum. This building goes back to 1892 and was, for many years, the Bellingham City Hall.
Ever since I was a kid, 1950's, it has been the Whatcom County Museum and a main cultural meeting point for the county. Some people think the building is lovely. There are others, reviews I have read, who describe it as a garish, but historically interesting, monstrosity. You can see what you think -- now if the cars were only Model-A's.
Steve, That's a great photo. Love the building!
Good morning Steve. I love it too. All the detail they used to put into soffits and facia that adds so much character to a home you just don't see anymore.
Steve,
Great photo. I love the look. It was a building of it's times and should have that look.
I for one find it interesting and attractive. It is a big building.
