Some shots I took of the Fullerton Police Department in Fullerton, CA. Designed by G. Stanley Wilson, it was built by the Works Project Administration and originally dedicated as the town’s city hall in 1942.

- Wilson was also a key figure in another notable southern California building, the Mission Inn Hotel in Riverside.

Beautiful.
I find these posts very informative. I’m not knowledgeable about architecture and I’ve never developed an “eye” for it like I have for other art forms (or palate, or ear, or nose).
However, there’s one structure in Canberra, 101 Moore Street, that just offends me with its unattractiveness. I call it “The Ugly Building”. I’d be ashamed to live there.
What do you think?

I agree, it’s awful. What to make of the monkey bars on the facade and roof, or the corkscrew flying saucer that’s trying to land on the mess? Yeesh, terrible. Any idea how other people in the neighborhood react?

This city is full of public servants, academics and journalists: i.e. people with taste up their butts. I’d guess they probably like it and think it’s “unique”. That it is. /facepalm

And with all those monkey bars, it’d be easier to rob by cat burglars! 😉
