    The other buildings were made in BC so they didn't want you to be confused.

    Gosh I never noticed the AD up there before. I'll have to look for it.

    Interesting contrast with what looks like modern plate glass behind.

    Rub it in! Rub it in! My home city just got more snow, about 2.5 inches yesterday. Had to smile at the lettering on you photo; like no-one would know it was A.D. ??

    That's quite unusual -- don't think I've ever seen "AD" on a building date. Cool!

    One hundred years old! That's an original sign to show it.

    That curving staircase catches my eye particularly.

    On this first day of spring... we have snowflakes falling.

    I'd have been very surprised if it had been 1914 BC!

    What a bad year that was though. Bad, bad, bad.

    Cool lettering, I like it!

    I wonder what that 'font' is - I want it, haha! I think the AD helps clarify things better, don't you?:)

    What is NOT funny for me is seeing the boys so close to the railing up there….my belly fell just thinking about it. too.high.for.moi.
