What an inspiring thread! Steven, thanks for reopening it-I've enjoyed going through the pages. As an occasional architectural historian, I'm enjoying all of these--looking at good pictures of buildings is, after all, the main reason that I got into LF in the first place.

Here's one of my favorites from a volunteer project that I did for the Erie Canal Museum in Syracuse--a powerhouse along the lock in Newark. 4x5, 150mm old-ish Schneider, red #25 filter, Delta 100.

Keep em' coming!

Jim--

Very cool indeed!

Steven--

We should talk sometime. I've enjoyed your photos.

Here's one from a few years ago, what remains of the Farmington Meetinghouse near Rochester after a terrible windstorm in 2005. I did a bit more volunteer documentation when its status was less clear than today. Here's more information on the poor building and the plans to make something of it:

Likewise, 4x5, Delta 100, not sure on the lens or settings.

Thanks Bruce. Interesting photo! Glad I missed that storm.

As usual I'm very late contributing to some of these image threads ... I don't take many which I'd call architectural shots but these might fall somewhere close to that category.

• The first image is at 350 Euston Road, London. It's very close to where I worked until last year. I'd just taken the image when the security guards rushed out of the building saying I wasn't allowed to take pictures there. Being a bit argumentative sort I pointed out I was standing on a public right of way and they had no right to stop me. After some firm but polite banter I decided to leave - particularly as I'd already exposed my film! I know that more and more photographers are being challenged when taking pictures - but usually of people - but this was just plain out of order. A retrograde step of which we all need to be wary.
• The second is of window lights to the left side of the altar in Coventry Cathedral. Unlike most of our cathedrals which are generally well over 500 years old, this one was built in the 1960's to replace the one destroyed in WWII. To me this image has an Orwellian feeling about it.
• The third is of a 14th century tithe barn (Bredon) showing the fantastic timber beams which support the immense roof. Some of the timbers were replaced after a serious fire in the barn in 1980 started by a cigarette.
• The final image is of a lovely leaded window in a church in Dorset.

All images are from 5x4 Tmax 100 & 400.
