The construction of the Building of Arts is what I find most interesting — unusual choices, from the stucco to the wooden columns. How I would have loved to have salvaged some of the details!
Classy!
The description of the columns being turned raises a question, but it is possible, I suppose.
Great documentation of a wonderful building, D.E.D.
Terrific post, one of your best. I was just wandering around that area the other day, at sundown. (No trace, unfortunately, of Nijinsky.)
There's got to be a way -- some way -- to photograph those steps.
