July Theme Day: Facade
I chose this handsome 1929 Art Deco facade of the Granite Trust Building located in Quincy Center for my July "theme day" post. This edifice has always served as a bank and a symbol of prosperous times for this city. Once again it is the beacon of economic hope because the first phase of an ambitious redevelopment project is getting underway right behind it.

nice choice!
Nice building, I hope it will be preserved well.
Looks great, really a good choice for this theme!
It has that solid and strong look that a bank building should have.
What a cool building! Great choice for Theme Day!
It does have a classic look to it. Very nice!
Interesting facade and I like the manipulation of the photo (I think) it looks like an old linen postcards from the 30 or 40's.
Solid. So many old bank buildings had stone facades. I guess I like that tradition.
The interior is beautiful as well
