Contrast
This is another pic from my archives from a day I was wandering around on University Ave. I headed down the back of these two buildings which actually face Queen St W at University and loved the contrast. The tall tower was designed by KPMB Architects and was built in 2006 and houses the Federal Court of Canada as well as a few other federal agencies. Its smaller brick neighbour is Campbell House which is a heritage house and museum built in 1822 and moved to this location in 1972.
Well, I know which I'd choose - I like my feets firmly on the ground!
ReplyDelete...the beauty and the beast!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great "contrast" photo this is. They are totally different buildings but they look like they are good neighbors.
ReplyDeleteI like Tom's comment, as I do enjoy the old by far much more than modern, but they do both have their charm, and importance! Great capture.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteTom is right on, I like the heritage house. Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy new week!
Yes, Tom hit it right on the head. Keep safe.
ReplyDeleteTom wins the comment of the day. :) It is a superb contrast photo, well done Pat.
ReplyDeleteSeeing a roof so far above makes me smile. :)
ReplyDeleteAn intersection I know well.
ReplyDeleteI have not been in Campbell House.
Yupp, I, too, go with Tom! :-)
ReplyDeleteIs that a sunshade that overhang. Bit strange. But a contrast it is.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous comparison in architectural style Pat, they certainly built them to last in the 1800's ✨
