Perhaps it is an unwanted result of my success, but I like to think I've featured so many bad mansards that the reader really won't be shocked by any mansard. I like to think I've shown you everything. Recently I've even wondered if I was *gulp* running out of material.
And then I find this gem in my email in-box sent by Dan Consiglio from Chicago to my husband and forwarded to me, passed tenderly like a JPEG baton from runner to runner.
I think badmansard has conditioned us to expect such badmansardness from a bank and even a drive-through. But, holy mother of the mansard, WHY is there a window in the drive-through mansard? Dan thought change-counting trolls resided above the drive through. A youth hostel? The bank's safe?
Thanks again Dan. You're awesome and so is your BOOK (click here).
How about the rest of you? I have friends all over the country. Won't someone from outside of St. Louis and Chicago PLEASE send me a bad mansard? It's the only way I can top this monster (*note- there is an apartment building in Belleville rumored to be a mansard-upon-mansard mid-century modern.)
I love this blog. It never fails to make me laugh and laugh. You're right though. At first I thought, yup, another ugly building. I dind't even SEE the window at first.
ReplyDeleteI'm in New York and tomorrow I'm going to find a corporate shill-mansard. Thanks for the plug on the book, I hope you guys like your copy.
