war Posted February 8, 2017 Share #1921 Posted February 8, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Yes, this remarkably inappropriate building, was a "gift" from Joseph Stalin in the 50's, his name since removed from its title.

Advertisement Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Hi war, Take a look here "Do you know this building?" Game Thread. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
AZach Posted February 8, 2017 Share #1922 Posted February 8, 2017 This one as well has remarkable dimension, but horizontally and was also completed with exceptional effort centuries earlier.

war Posted February 9, 2017 Share #1923 Posted February 9, 2017 I'm going to start with a guess that these are French military barracks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZach Posted February 9, 2017 Share #1924 Posted February 9, 2017 Yes, French. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted February 9, 2017 Share #1925 Posted February 9, 2017 I too thought French because it makes me think of (though it is not) Les Invalides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZach Posted February 9, 2017 Share #1926 Posted February 9, 2017 Both were constructed about the same period actually, but not by the same architect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZach Posted February 10, 2017 Share #1928 Posted February 10, 2017 Yes, military as used by the navy for a specific purpose other than lodging for two centuries and then abandoned until restored some 30 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted February 10, 2017 Share #1929 Posted February 10, 2017 Rope storage? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZach Posted February 10, 2017 Share #1930 Posted February 10, 2017 Getting closer but storage not the main purpose of a long building... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted February 10, 2017 Share #1931 Posted February 10, 2017 That was tongue in cheek. However, if not storing: manufacturing ropes? I'll shut off now as I haven't the foggiest notion about where those buildings could be; also, I don't have any more mystery buildings I can submit.

AZach Posted February 10, 2017 Share #1932 Posted February 10, 2017 Right, a rope manufacturing facility from 17th century in a French naval base. Name of port? Bonus for the fancy name of the building. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemgb Posted February 11, 2017 Share #1939 Posted February 11, 2017 The style somehow looks like Frank Lloyd Wright. I thought the same but I can't imagine anyone putting a metal roof on a Frank Lloyd Wright. Although I did once see one covered in vinyl siding....
