I have no idea
There is a lot of information on the front of this place. Unfortunately, I have no idea what any of it says.
All I can say with any certainity is that it is roughly halfway between here and here but all the way across town from here.

Still, it’s in a nice neighborhood (photographically speaking).

Yes, it is a very nice neighborhood, photographically speaking. I have 180 photos from that same day to prove it!

Yes, the clouds were very cooperative that day!

I love the curved roof line, but even more, the covered over door/window on the right with faint circles.

Those circles are very nice, and mysterious, aren’t they?
My favorite part is that the arch of the facade isn’t quite symmetrical. You know how I am about symmetry….
LikeLike
even if it were symmetrical, you would have found a way to make it not so.
Are those circles targets, or just swirls in the stucco, getting dirty and visible?

It’s hard to imagine someone making circles in stucco that look as even as those do; maybe it is a relic of another sign on that poor old place!

Possibly an old standard oil sign, like this one: http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/logo/standard-oil-company-of-indiana
Is that a truck tail gate or a boat transom on the left side of the building?
LikeLike
It’s a truck tailgate. I would have been happier about this shot if that truck hadn’t been there, to be honest. But it seemed rude to ask someone to move their truck just so I could take a picture of the building.

If it was a boat, and a standard oil sign, it would have been OK.

I know: just when I thought I really DID own synchronicity, a damn truck shows up in place of a boat.
