The Belmont Building

Before Christmas I posted a photo of the Belmont Building from the corner of Government and Humboldt Streets. Above is another photo of this historic building taken from the corner of Humboldt and Gordon Streets. This building was originally constructed to serve as a hotel butnever opened as such due to an economic slump. It opened later as an office building. Below is another photo (from 2011) of the Government/Humboldt Street corner with a line-drawing treatment I like. The Belmont Building has some interesting features not visible in these photos that we will look at later in the week.

    The upper image made the Building look like a Flatiron one at first glance, due to the angle of the shot.
    Like it!

    I agree on the Flatiron look.

    I liked the first building on how it looked but agree, it may be too small to use. This new rendition looks good too!

    It is a beautiful building... and has a really commanding presence.
