The Mule Posted July 29, 2003 Report Posted July 29, 2003 J, is that the gas station in Palm Springs, CA? Think it might be. There's another one that looks very similar in West Los Angeles/Beverly Hills. Quote
J Larsen Posted July 29, 2003 Report Posted July 29, 2003 (edited) J, is that the gas station in Palm Springs, CA? Think it might be. There's another one that looks very similar in West Los Angeles/Beverly Hills. Yes, that's the one. Somehow I didn't think to name all my buildings: The first one is the Tramway Gas Station in Plam Springs, which last I heard was no longer operating and was in danger of demolition. The second is the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in Manhattan, two blocks west of the NW corner of central park. The third is, of course, Falling Water in Pennsylvania.

J Larsen Posted July 29, 2003 Report Posted July 29, 2003 (edited) That is VERY impressive, GoM. I definately have to visit that building some day. According to historiclandmarks.org, they're only asking $32MM for that building, which is about 2/3 of what someone just paid for a 76th floor apartment at Columbus Circle in Manhattan.

J Larsen Posted July 30, 2003 Report Posted July 30, 2003 Uh, I was actually hoping you'd get us a 77th story floor-through in Manhattan.... Quote

ralphie_boy Posted July 30, 2003 Report Posted July 30, 2003 Pierre Koenig, Case Study House #22, Hollywood Hills, 1959. One of my all time favorites. I'd give my left nut to live in that house for a week! Quote

The Mule Posted July 31, 2003 Report Posted July 31, 2003 Taliesin West ~Frank Lloyd Wright I have a family member who is a guide at Taliesin West. Amazing place! Well worth the trip if you're in the area (Scottsdale, AZ). Quote
J Larsen Posted July 31, 2003 Report Posted July 31, 2003 The Flatiron. Did you know tht was the tallest skyscraper in the world when it was built? Evidently they had trouble getting tenants at first because people were afraid it would collapse. Quote
