war Posted February 27, 2024 Share #3944 Posted February 27, 2024 Sorry for the delay.... I thought someone else would pick up on this. This is where you would have gotten off the train to attend the US Army Missile and Air Defense School at Fort Bliss. El Paso, Texas Union Depot, 1906 by architect Daniel Burnham.

stuny Posted March 28, 2024 Share #3951 Posted March 28, 2024 It looks like it might have been a church at some time. Probably built in the 19th or 20th centuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a church. To say that it does have a relationship to religiosity though might be misleading. So don't be misled. 19th Century though is correct.

adan Posted April 18, 2024 Share #3958 Posted April 18, 2024 (edited) Gothic Revival was quite popular in the US. So.... Is it in the USA? Is it on a college/university campus? Is it part of a water processing facility? (I kid you not! See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Water_Tower ) 🤪 That's not the answer - but is the mystery building within 100 miles of Chicago? Evanston, for example? Or, see also (not the answer either, but maybe a hint): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altgeld's_castles Edited April 18, 2024 by adan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, see also (not the answer either, but maybe a hint): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altgeld's_castles Yes it's USA Gothic Revival, not on any Illinois college campus (Altgeld's castles are a bit later) and not 100 miles from Chicago but within walking distance from Evanston. Your research was exemplary. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted April 19, 2024 Share #3960 Posted April 19, 2024 Yah - well, my Dad was a dean and professor at SIU/Carbondale from 1962 until retirement, so I grew up more or less in the shadow of SIU/C's Altgeld Hall, from the age of 8. And I went to IIT's architecture school for a semester, before changing my major to Cinema & Photography at SIU's School of Communications. And my first job out of college (medical photographer) was at the old Children's Memorial Hospital at Lincoln/Halsted/Fullerton. And Standard Photo (at the time) was about two blocks west of the Water Tower, on Chicago Ave. So my research mostly amounted to "just living my life in Illinois/Chicago for 23 years." 😁 "walking distance of Evanston"...... hmmmm!
