Re: Anyone have pics of MB factor locations???

I like it - somewhere between Art Deco and pure Modernism - it is actually a really nice building if you view it in context. Originally I thought it was a post-war building, but it was built in the 1920's.

I don't know why or how, but I knew you would like it. That building kinda reminds me of how Mercedes' cars used to look, all business and function first.

HA HA, you're beginning to know me Merc1 - I thought it must have been a post-war building (assuming there wouldn't have been much left after WW2) but I discovered it was designed in the 20's it's a beautiful example of somewhere between Deco and high-Modernism - it reminds of me of Italian Rationalist architecture that I love so much.
