It is South of Illinois.

Might it be near Annapolis, MD?

Would that involve Adm. David Glasgow Farragut?

No sir.

What about Knoxville, TN? Farragut was born there and it is south of Illinois.

No sir. Not anywhere on the eastern side.

Might this building have anything to do with Memphis, TN riverboats?

Hello JD,

Could we be somewhere along the California coast?

Best Regards,

Michael

I am a bit frustrated by the last challenge: it is not a building but a staircase. Taking a part for the whole. The thread is not "Do you know this building where this part comes from?"

Unfollowed.

What about the Presidio in San Francisco. Am I close?

Possible - I was thinking across the bay at Mare Island/Vallejo.

David Farragut (before his Civil War achievements) was assigned to command the construction of the Mare Island Navy Shipyard in the 1850s. About his only West Coast connection that I know of.

Obviously terrain hilly enough to require a long external staircase.

I agree. It doesn't exactly feel within "spirit' of the thread.

OOOOOH! Good choice! Been there long ago but can't remember a building with a stair case like this.

@adan I was googling photos (do not have any from my visit) and I think you've hit the jackpot! Farragut Plaza?

Hallo,

Look here: Interesting Leica gear

[jdlaing]

It is Farragut Plaza on the Mare Island Naval Shipyard adjacent Vallejo, Ca. I took this pic in 2005.
