Morris Apartments. 1401 Grandin Road SW. Roanoke. 24015
When I snapped this photo I didn't know it was an apartment building until now, getting ready to post it. I just liked the architecture. So, upon my Googling research I found out that it was built in 1929 on this really neat website called Emporis. It has tons of buildings and stats, to see Click Here.

1929, what a year! It does look really nice, is it surrounded by other buildings?
ReplyDeleteyes, it's on quite a busy road, across from the old theatre i showed you the other day!
DeleteImposing building that looks great to explore. Bet it has a nice view.
ReplyDeleteIt looks a little ominous from this angle. Maybe it's the tree. Anyway, nicely composed shot !
ReplyDeleteI must have been by there but just can't place seeing it, I will have a look next time through there. It must have been the place to be in 29!
ReplyDeleteCool looking building. Looks like it could be the setting for a scary movie
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a building that my mother lived in as a young working woman. Great site to check in on for buildings.
ReplyDeleteCool and calm shot!!
ReplyDeleteBuilding looking nice ..
An interesting looking building. I enjoy looking at them when I am out and about. Thanks for the links.
ReplyDeleteneat building! (and if you squint, you can almost see an 'M' in its shape.) :)

Interesting no to find out it is such an old building?
ReplyDeleteM for Meteoric Trips
The only thing I don't like about it is those imposing steps
ReplyDeletealways fun to see how buildings are built or their history. so cool!! i love how huge it looks. ( :
ReplyDeleteThat's one old apartment building! Still looks to be in good shape.
ReplyDeleteOf some old buildings we can say: the older they get the more interesting they look.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Wil, ABCW Team.
Looks like an attractive apartment building.
ReplyDeleteNice looking building.
ReplyDeleteA great shot and an interesting apartment building!
ReplyDeleteShooting it low, as you did, adds to the relatively simple building's grandeur.
ReplyDeleteAh... there's a 'naked' tree too. It's getting more interesting to me.
ReplyDeleteIt is a neat building. Wonder what the apartments inside look like?
ReplyDeleteYes, a good picture, excellent perspective of this beautiful building!
