Or maybe I just didn't care about architecture when I was 10...or 18...or 23...
I just discovered that the largest collection of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture in the world is located in Lakeland, FL. It makes up much of the campus of Florida Southern College, in the form of 9 pieces. Together they are called Child of the Sun. We will be sure to make a trip when classes aren't in session! (More blog at the bottom)
As I mentioned, I stumbled across this yesterday. But after making another, even more awesome discovery...
The Library Of Congress Prints & Photographs website! This is the sort of thing that makes me want to spray perfume on my tax dollars. Yeah, that's Drakkar, baby. I will make you breatkfast in the morning.
Much of the site is a historical photograph archive of places and buildings across America. I haven't even seen enough to tell you more. When looking around, the site seems endless. What I enjoy are photos of very old, and very cool, American structures. 17th and 18th century. Even more cool are the black & white photographs of them. If you enjoy old black & white photos like me, this is a candy store. But these are nothing if the scans aren't good. They have that, too! Big, clear, high-res. You can blow them up bigger than the ones I have above. If it is your sort of thing, enjoy!
