ABC Wednesday - M is for Morris Apartments

(click on photo to enlarge)
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. For more info on the Grandin Village area Click Here and for more photos with the letter M, Click Here! ...Happy ABC Wednesday :)

  3. It looks a little ominous from this angle. Maybe it's the tree. Anyway, nicely composed shot !

  17. Of some old buildings we can say: the older they get the more interesting they look.

  20. Shooting it low, as you did, adds to the relatively simple building's grandeur.
