war Posted May 20, 2019 Share #3021 Posted May 20, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) 5 hours ago, NigelG said: Oh yes - realise it's 1892. Didn't have a chance to see everything on my recent trip to Chicago as I only had a few days and went 'Mies' rather than 'FLW' (other than in Oak Park where I have friends).... Its the Charnley House by Sullivan and Adler in Chicago Very good. I might add that this was done while FLW was working for Sullivan and is thought to have done much of the design. I think your time with Mies was well spent, nowhere else can you see as much of his work in one place and that of some of his exceptional students. You're next..

war Posted May 25, 2019 Share #3023 Posted May 25, 2019 Does this building regularly display a Royal Navy Ensign along side the American flag or was this a special event? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelG Posted May 25, 2019 Share #3024 Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) The flag is slightly edited (it’s a major clue to the building)....but it’s not a Royal Navy Ensign. The Royal Navy Ensign is either white with the red cross of St George and the Union flag in the upper corner, or red with the union flag in the corner (nicknamed the “red duster”) Edited May 25, 2019 by NigelG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
war Posted May 25, 2019 Share #3025 Posted May 25, 2019 Your expert editing reproduced, evidently inadvertently, the earlier (England) Blue Ensign with the St. George cross in the corner. So now I'm wondering if you edited the building by removing engraving from the entablature? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted May 26, 2019 Share #3026 Posted May 26, 2019 A "Blue Squadron" ensign with a green pine-tree in one of the white squares is the "Bunker Hill" flag. ("Red Squadron" ensign with same tree was the colonial ensign for "New England" ships, 1600s-1700s). I'd got about that far in my research when you guys added the hints. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_New_England Which would make this the 19th-century "Exhibit Lodge" or old museum, right alongside the Bunker Hill Monument obelisk overlooking Boston. https://etc.usf.edu/clippix/picture/bunker-hill-monument-and-exhibit-lodge.html A nice puzzle!

NigelG Posted May 26, 2019 Share #3027 Posted May 26, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Correct! I edited the flag as I felt the New England pine tree would be recognisable as the “Bunker Hill” flag as thus the building - which adan has identified. AFAIK it should actually have a red ground like other New England flags but was incorrectly coloured blue on an historic flag chart.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adan Posted June 3, 2019 Share #3037 Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) So let's change this up a bit with some "vernacular style" that will be a bit more Google-proof - but just might be uniquely identifiable (you just never know - its a small world). I'll provide more hints (some visual) if we're getting close. It does have a name, and "architects." Freebie hint - it is not in Colorado, nor within 1000 miles of Colorado. Welcome, dear visitor!
