It's one of my favorite buildings - the masterpiece of Harvey Lonsdale Elmes. I have a guidebook to Liverpool architecture wherein it's called the greatest classical monument of the 19th century. When I was on my motorcycle trip to the Isle of Man in 1993, I got to see this edifice for about 30 seconds while we were stopped at a red light, but I wasn't able to pull over and get any pictures, since we were on a tight schedule for the ferry. I love the Liver Bldg. too, but on the other hand, most of the newer buildings don't do much for me. The museum isn't bad, but REBA North - ugh. (I don't dislike all modern buildings - we have a Calatrava for our art museum that is wonderful.) - Alan Alan Magayne-Roshak, Senior Photographer, Emeritus University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Photo Services (Retired) UPAA Photographer of the Year 1978 UPAA Master of the Profession 2014 amagayneroshak at gmail.com <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/> "All the technique in the world doesn't compensate for an inability to notice.
