Old City Hall
I love the carvings that appeared on the older buildings around town and this has to be one of the most lovely. This is the cornerstone from our Old City Hall which is located across the road from our new City Hall and is used primarily as a court house these days. Wonderful craftsmanship!

The carvings are very attractive, I agree.
It's a lost skill - these days they make carvings like this out of plastic. Sad.
Beautiful carving, cornerstones in the UK tend to be plain blocks with 'this stone laid by' inscribed upon them plus the date.
this has to be one of the more elegant cornerstones around.
I agree with you. Beautiful carving! It has a Celtic feeling.
That is so beautiful. I like the details.
The engraving is quite incredible in deed
This is amazing ... just doesn't happen much anymore. But it sure lends an air of class to a building.
So intricate too, great shot.
Lots of details!
I love this piece, it gives me an idea for a bag,,,
Beautiful. They don't make them like that any more..
