Perfect! Your turn.

Only virtually.

I saw it on a GoPro video of someone sculling on the Wörthersee while using my own rowing machine, and it was memorable enough to stick in my mind.

Let's try this.

Given the weathervane I'm thinking it's probably near the coast/a body of water...

.. and the level of the water seems to have risen since the building was built.

The guesses so far are generally correct.

Could we be somewhere in or near the curve of land that is named after the fish?

Michael, I like your guesses, they are often a riddle in itself.

I'm no ichthyologist, but I believe "near" to be correct - for a given value of "near."

Hello Andreas,

That is correct! Very good! Originally built 1899 for the Massachusetts Metro Police, damaged by fire at least once and rebuilt.

Thanks. I had a couple pics of it from years ago but can’t find them due to my filing methods meaning I don’t have one. 🤭

Hello JD,

Could this be in Spain, or in someplace that was at 1 time owned by Spain?

Not even close. 😃

Hello JD,

Well, how about Scotland? Spain would have liked to own Scotland. Even tried to in the late 1500's.
