Some architectural entrances, with their fine artistry and history, draw people in to appreciate the craftsmanship and the stories of bygone eras.

Thank you to the buyer in Itasca, IL for purchasing this striking black & white photo of the Candler building built in 1904. May you enjoy the beautiful architecture for years to come.

🇫🇷 Là, où se trouvait dans le temps la grand poste de Namur, à côté de la gare, un nouveau bâtiment (et même un quasi nouveau quartier là où se trouvaient divers bâtiments et terrains de la SNCB) a vu le jour à sa place, l'étage inférieur est occupé par l'espace Wallonie.

La carte postale (à titre de comparaison) permet de voir l'ancienne poste.

🇬🇧 The new building next to the railway station replaces the old building where the main Post office was (it's almost a new district that has been built in this area on old SNCB/NMBS grounds). The street level is occupied by a Wallonia information center where citizens can get lots of informations.

The old postcard let show the old Post office.

The Five Continents.

So, this is not some sort of AI generated photo, but it is a real existing building.

If you are ever in the city of Antwerp, be sure not to miss ‘The Five Continents’ an Art-Deco building colloquially known as ‘the boat house’ or ‘the little boat’ for it’s facade which has a balcony in the form of a ship.

Built in 1901 to the plans of architect Frans Smet-Verhas and commissioned by the boat builder Petrus Roeis, it was sold 2 years ago for funny money (a 2 and 6 zero’s) to a lawyer firm.

Wooden house.

Don’t be fooled. This is NOT the oldest house in #Antwerp. However, it is the oldest house in Antwerp with a wooden facade. Dating from 1546 it has survived 6 wars although sadly, due to a restoration in the ‘70s the facade has had a transformation and isn’t original anymore.
