The Field

The don't make buildings like this any more. It's a shame.


I'm not even a student of architecture yet The Field Museum of Natural History building itself held my interest as much as what it contains.

What inspired us to go was some friends from New England were vacationing in the upper Midwest, so we rendezvoused there. The museum also had an exhibit on mythic creatures we've been wanting to see.
It's another silly example of something close we don't take advantage of.

Holiday Push

Kendall and Sharon visited over New Year's weekend to get the drywall out of the way. We worked hard but made time to visit and play games too. First pics are the hallway with the closets at the end -one of Gary's favorite features. Angles are from both ends of the hall, and the closets viewed from Aspen's dorrway. The left hand closet will have the clothes hamper, with a trap door to the laundry room below. The smaller closet to the right provides access to the mechanicals and will be a place to put the upstairs vacuum and other cleaning stuff.
