The Flour and Grain Exchange building, was designed by the architecture firm of Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge in 1891. The rusticated masonry and multi-tiered arches exemplify the Richardsonian Romanesque style.
Building on Right

Originally a meeting hall for the Boston Chamber of Commerce, the Exchange was built on land donated by streetcar magnate Henry M. Whitney and completed in 1892. Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge designed the tiered arches and rock-faced masonry which exemplify the Romanesque Revival style of H.H. Richardson. The sturdy walls and elaborate design reflect an expression of financial security appropriate to the city's commercial circles. The exterior was restored by The Beal Companies in 1988." see http://www.celebrateboston.com/ link

Two Hanover Square (BB&T Building)


29 Story, BB&T Building built in 1991. Currently the tallest builidng in Raleigh, NC. There was a request for this building at Simtropolis by a member named tudorjason , so I decided I'd try to search out some pictures and BAT this one out. Pictures were very limited, and since Raleigh is not in my future trip plans, I decided to piece together what infomation I could from the few photos. This is a rough draft of the building so far. I have to work up the base a little more.
I wanted to post something to let you all know I'm still working on BAT projects. I've been busy with personal issues. Updates to come.
