[Leica] IMG: Doors Open Milwaukee-Building Related Pix

[Douglas Barry]

Interesting trot through your High School images, Alan, and, of course, the 
Foggy School of Modern Architectural Thinking in those times saw some of the 
same thinking in Ireland allowing slieveen developers and corrupt 
politicans/officals to rip parts of of Dublin to shreds. The philistines 
almost inevitably triumphed in their urge to take the joy out of work and 
living spaces.

What's in place of your HS now?
