Kirkwood Mansard with Greek columns (of course)

Check out this big, stupid, ugly mansard in Kirkwood on Kirkwood Road (aka Lindbergh Road).  Of course it's stupid and ugly- it's in Kirkwood!  Webster High School class of 1989 rocks!  (this is in jest- I sadly lacked all forms of school spirit or municipal pride).  So anyway, this is a big ugly bank in the middle of a parking lot with a dumb, oversized mansard.  Love the faux Greek columns.  Oh, didn't you know that Greek columns, mansard rooflines and barberry bushes were all the rage in Second Empire France?

  1. I HATE bad use of greek columns. Probably enough to start a blog criticizing them, actually....
