Boston Public Library, Honan Allston Branch: Central courtyard
Image by Chris Devers
I love this building.
Without quite realizing it or intending to, I apparently have taken a liking to the architects behind this & some other buildings, Machado and Silvetti Associates. They've designed:
• Honan-Allston Branch, Boston Public Library
• One Western Avenue (OWA), Harvard Business School
• Provincetown Art Association and Museum
• Dewey Square, near South Station in Boston
That means that, of the work they've done in Massachusetts, the only one I've never really noticed is South Boston Waterfront Park, and now that I think about it, I think I actually have noticed it before, but have never had a chance to walk around there, as it's kind of in a weird area -- not much around there, mostly only accessible by car at this point, yet nowhere to really park & walk around. It's a neighborhood that'll probably be really built up & nice in 10 or 20 years, but for now, it's kind of an island off by itself.
But the other four, though not all without controversy (a lot of people hate OWA), I generally like. Maybe I should start paying attention here...
Danville IL - Former Carnegie Public Library, 307 N. Vermilion St. (1 of 3)
Image by myoldpostcards
Danville's Carnegie Library opened in 1904 and served the community for 91 years until being replaced by a new library building just to the north of it in 1995. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1978, this is now the home of the Vermilion County War Museum.
The City of Danville is the seat of Vermilion County, and is located in East Central Illinois near the Indiana border. The population of Danville was 33,027 as of the 2010 census.
More photographs of Danville can be found in my "Danville IL" set.

You are invited to stay and browse through my stream. Here's a quick index to my little corner of Flickr:
Automobile Photographs: This is a very large collection of images whose primary, but not exclusive, focus is on American automotive classics. Images are organized by decade, by manufacturer, and by topics (such as convertibles, station wagons, muscle cars, etc.)
Central Illinois (except Springfield): Central Illinois (except Springfield): Photos relating to the middle section of the "Land of Lincoln" (except for the Capital City of Springfield) may be found in this collection. Every city and town I've photographed is contained within its own set, and rural (as in "countryside") photographs are grouped by county.
Springfield, Illinois: All of my photographs of Springfield and the Abraham Lincoln Sites are in this collection. For the City of Springfield, there are separate sets for the Capitol Complex, Downtown (including the Old State Capitol), Neighborhoods, Parks, Illinois State Fairgrounds (and past State Fairs), and more. Photographs of Lincoln sites include the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, Lincoln Home National Historic Site, Lincoln Tomb, and so on. Also in the Lincoln "All About Abe" (Set) are a few Lincoln sites not located in Springfield.
The Illinois State Fair: My collection of photographs of the Illinois State Fair. The fair offers something for everyone. Grab a corn dog and lemon shake-up, and come take a look!
Beyond Central Illinois: Other locales in the United States and Canada including New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle.
In addition to my location-based sets, here are links to some "topical" collections and sets I've put together:
Barbers & Barber Shops: Traditional barbers and barber shops are on the endangered species list. But there are still plenty to be found if you go looking for them.
Almost Everything Else. Check It Out!!!: Included topics range from man's first walk on the moon to small town schools and churches, and from Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers (our favorite breed) to things that are abandoned, neglected, weathered, or rusty.
