Here is a curving wall and stairway leading to Masterson Hall on the campus of the University of Southern Maine. This building's design and wear is in stark contrast to yesterday's shot of the 3 story tenement on Valley Street. Like most small cities, Portland has an interesting blend of buildings that are the old and the new, the historical and the eye-sores, the abandon, and the lived in. This is one of my favorite structures on the Portland campus. I think it carries a nice look inside and out. A while back, I received my Master's Degree here in the city.

Yes, it is a handsome building. Even tho it's probably been some time ago, congratulations on your degree. In what?? It's an achievement; I always loved studying on college campuses. In fact, I need some intellectual stimulation right now.
ReplyDeleteA beautifully framed photo of an attractive building!
ReplyDeleteI'm going with Sharon's characterization of it as a beautifully framed photo of an attractive building. I like the red and tan detailing and the juxtaposition of the curves and flats. Nice photo, nice building.
ReplyDeleteI like the colors as well! The curves are also nice. :)
ReplyDeleteI like the overall reddish tone of this picture...
ReplyDeleteI concur with all of the above! especially the composition part.
ReplyDelete& yes, I am curious too, what is your masters in? That is quite an accomplishment Birdman.
fyi all-

Portland's definitely got some great architectural gems and oddities and you capture them all with such style.
ReplyDeleteNicely framed!
ReplyDeleteIt looks exactly what I expected of a school. :)
ReplyDeleteI should have known...English degree. When someone asked me what I planned to do with mine (as a means of criticism), as kindly as I could I told them "to make human beings out of people."
ReplyDeleteI like the curve of the building in this shot.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy seeing University campuses. And also hearing of ones background as yours in higher education. Well done Birdman!
