Thomas Crane Public Library- Quincy, MA
There are few things in this world that I love more than old libraries. Stained glass windows, grand fireplaces, polished wood, and the magnificent smell of old book bindings. Thomas Crane Public Library in Quincy, Massachusetts delivers on all counts.

Winter Garden Theater- Toronto, CA
As a follow up to my previous post, the Winter Theater is the second half of the last remaining stacked Edwardian theater in the world. Although constructed at the same time as the Elgin, essentially for the same purpose, the two theaters were vastly different.

Elgin Theater- Toronto, CA
Built in 1913, Elgin Theater is one half of the last surviving Edwardian stacked theaters in the world. Designed by Thomas W. Lamb for American entertainment magnate Marcus Loew, the complex was built to showcase vaudeville acts: the Elgin (originally called Loew's Yonge Street) was intended to be the work horse, featuring continuous acts daily, to patrons of modest means.
