    Since reading about Tartaria and looking at some of the beautiful pictures of how some of the cities around the world looked, even as recently as 100 years ago, I wanted to start a thread to share pictures and tak about some of this amazing architecture.
    Compared to buildings that were made before 1900 (or thereabouts) , the buildings that we have in our modern age, just can’t compare for structural beauty.
    Try to put at least some information about the location of the city, or what the building was, if just posting a single structure, so we can all see where the picture is from.
    Starting with this picture of Chicago, from late 1800’s.

    The Casino Theatre -- 39th Street and Broadway, New York City
    Built in 1882, it was a leading presenter of mostly musicals and operettas until it closed in 1930.

    "The brick and terracotta building was an example of Moorish architecture.”
