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

  4. 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. ??

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

  14. 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!

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