Yellow corner

 

Spreay awaey!

When the parking lot was repaved, it included repainting the lamp post bases yellow.  

 

In the past, that would have been done using a paint brush.  Today, it is done with a sprayer.  Where there once were paint drips, now there is overspray.

Wood and brass, marble and glass

 

Southern view

The south entrance of this United States Custom House and Post Office building is presented as  relaxed view 3d stereograph.  

 

The entrances to the building are flanked by bronze lamps.

 

Imposing 

The lamps are almost 6 feet in height.  The big panels of textured "glass" in the lamp are now plastic.  The original glass was curved, as is the plastic that is in there now. When the original glass was damaged, it may have been too costly to repair or replace it with the same curved and textured glass, or to even find a replacement for that style of glass.

 

 

Shined up

 

 

Also shiny

 

The entrance doors have their PULL door plates.  These inform the patrons to "pull on the handle".

 

 

Reflected in the table top

The brass work on the table top shows signs of former accoutrements.

 

 

Table and view without

Patrons can gaze out the window as they use the table.

 

This main post office building was completed in 1931.  It was modeled after the main building of the United States Postal Service in New York City, now known as the James A. Farley Building.

 

String of pearls

Pearl necklace

The resulting multiple refractions from a bright LED shining through four sheets of plate glass creates this double string of pearls.
