pop Posted August 1, 2014 Share #161 Posted August 1, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Sorry STuart - credible guess, but... Philipp has it - Trinity College, Cambridge. It would be good to name the precise building, and the subject of the statue, but I think the direction of the baton is clear. I don't know the building but I think the statue shows Sir Isaac Newton. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Hi pop, Take a look here "Do you know this building?" Game Thread. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Michael Hiles Posted August 1, 2014 Share #162 Posted August 1, 2014 I don't know the building but I think the statue shows Sir Isaac Newton. Close enough - it is the Chapel of Trinity. The statue is, in fact, Sir Isaac Barrow. Barrow was the first Lucasian Professor of Mathematics. There is a very similar statue of Newton just a few feet away. Barrow resigned in favour of his brilliant student, Newton. The Lucasian chair is probably the most prestigious chair in the world. Newton's successors included Charles Babbage, Sir George Airy, Stokes, Paul Dirac and Stephen Hawking. For those not steeped in the lore of Physics, this (quite incomplete) list contains some of histories' most famous and brilliant physicists and mathematicians. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pop Posted August 3, 2014 Share #164 Posted August 3, 2014 Seeing the number of guesses I guess a hint might be helpful. This is, of course, the same building, but from a slightly different vantage point: Welcome, dear visitor!

Michael Geschlecht Posted August 5, 2014 Share #165 Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Hello Philipp, Could this building have something to do with airplanes, or perhaps boats? Best Regards, Michael Edited August 5, 2014 by Michael Geschlecht 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted August 5, 2014 Share #166 Posted August 5, 2014 Thanks for trying, Michael. I'm afraid it has nothing whatsoever to do with any kind of vehicle. It's a building many members of our forum have seen in person if only from the outside, I'd presume. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pop Posted August 5, 2014 Share #168 Posted August 5, 2014 Michael - it has been used for two different functions at different times (as far as I am aware) bot none of the two you mention. In fact, both the former and the current tenants might be a bit startled at the idea. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted August 5, 2014 Share #169 Posted August 5, 2014 This is a more revealing view with some powerful clues or "clews", as some authors will have it. Welcome, dear visitor!

pop Posted August 6, 2014 Share #172 Posted August 6, 2014 "Yes" to Leitz. This, however, applies to the former use of the building. "No" to school. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted August 6, 2014 Share #173 Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) The pictures above show a small bridge which connects two buildings. This is the building on the other side of the bridge, shown from the rear side. Welcome, dear visitor!

pop Posted August 7, 2014 Share #175 Posted August 7, 2014 Leitz Administration Building, Wetzlar. This is indeed the case that the building was first built and used for this purpose. Today it serves as the City Hall (Rathaus) for Wetzlar. Two more easily recognizable views. I have gone to great lengths to take those two photographs in weather conditions which will make them even more recognizable. Welcome, dear visitor!

A miller Posted August 8, 2014 Share #180 Posted August 8, 2014 Proving that I am a Texan, this is the former Texas School Book Depository, from which Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK. I disliked taking visiting family growing up here almost as much as the Southfork Ranch. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
