Municipal Castle: 1910
Circa 1910. "Courthouse -- Springfield, Massachusetts." 8x10 inch dry plate glass negative, Detroit Publishing Company. View full size.
Courthouse Alterations
This is one of the early works of H. H. Richardson; it was built 1871-1874, just before Richardson fully crystallized his mature personal style (the "Richardsonian Romanesque") in the design of Boston's Trinity Church. Richardson's building originally had a steep roof with gigantic dormers (as shown here in another Detroit Publishing Co. post card photo); the present view shows the alterations made beginning in 1908 by Shepley, Rutan & Coolidge, the Boston architecture firm known as Richardson's successors. I can't help it - I like the original version better!
Lofty Lorry
That "cab-over-everything" truck could probably induce nosebleeds in its operator.
Enduring design
Not the courthouse, the mail drop box. Still going strong over 100 hundred years later.
Primordial COE
Can anybody identify that very early cab-over truck? Autocar? Sternberg?
Stone
What would they have built with if they didn't invent stone..........
Movie Setup
Those 2 cars, back to back could be a scene in a Laurel & Hardy silent flick. They get in, check all the gauges and then smash into each other.
