$3,000,000 was a lot of money back then! Wow
ReplyDeleteYa, I'll bet it really was a lot of money back then. =)
DeleteNot much changed -- give that architect a pat on the back! What was that on the ground floor with the car? It looks like an auto showroom.
ReplyDeleteYep, it doesn't look like it changed much at all. It does look like there's a car in that window doesn't it? I wonder what that was all about. Thanks for stopping by!
