Today’s installation is bringing us waaaaay back to my college architecture days.  I went to NDSU, in Fargo, North Dakota – and as part of our curriculum we were asked to sketch any buildings that were ‘interesting’ to us.  I spent quite a bit of time in the downtown area sketching the many historic buildings there.

This sketch is of the Northern Pacific Railway Depot which was designed by the Architect Cass Gilbert in the year 1889.  It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, as a landmark in the area, because of it’s beautiful design and historical significance.  At the time this sketch was drawn in May of 2000, when I was a sophomore in college, it was being used as ‘The Depot Plaza’.  I wonder what it is being used for today?

Have a happy Saturday everyone!
