Re: The Penfield
My initial thought is "wouldn't it have been easier to re-create the columns?". But I guess they are preserving 'something'.
Re: The Penfield
i think the rest of the facade has been preserved as well but was removed for construction. it will be installed at a later date. that is my understanding from reading something by someone somewhere at some time in the past.

Re: The Penfield
I actually took a few yesterday, but unfortunately I can't compete with spectre000's great angles. Those are awesome!
I'll post mine soon if he doesn't have any recent images to share.

Re: The Penfield
Here's one from Nov 8th.
And for those wondering, the steel and concrete your seeing is just for the parking portion of the building (three levels (underground, ground, and mezzanine). The residential portion will be wood framed.

Re: The Penfield
Good thing they got that solid concrete building out of the way. Go wood!
Q. What, what? A. In da butt.
Re: The Penfield
I was happy to walk by and see concrete (poured and block) because residential buildings of this size are typically wood framed and i thought we are so lucky that they are using a more permanent framing. so now it is not so special after all...And for those wondering, the steel and concrete your seeing is just for the parking portion of the building (three levels (underground, ground, and mezzanine).

Re: The Penfield
I took a few photos from the street level of this one. It's an aggressive looking construction site - I like it.

Thanks, spectre000. I was hoping a webcam would be set up for this project.

Re: The Penfield - (101 10th Street East)
I took quite a few of this. With how tight this building's neighbors are, this area will feel quite a bit denser. I like this part of town.
