StreetScape: Nice Curves

As I have noted before, domes and curvature in architecture really leap out in contrast to the usual Euclidean grid of cityscapes. This fellow stands in front of one of Charleston’s few curvinesses, architecture-wise: the roundabout swell of the old Stone and Thomas building at the corner of Washington and Dickinson streets. It will be iniguing to see how this part of the building will be treated once re-development plans swing into action, now that the structure has been purchased for a developmnent project.

That building can sure benefit from some re-development. I saw it last week, on a trip home for the Stonewall reunion. It sure brings back memories of shopping trips when I was a teen.
