This is another picture taken from the top of the parking structure, that from which I took yesterday's photograph. Closest to you is the same Lowman Building, (1907,) the fancy one furthest from you is the Pioneer Building, (1892.) I'll post more photographs of that place later. The wilderness in the background is the Northwest point of Beacon Hill, no more than two or three miles from Pioneer Square and Downtown proper. It may seem strange to have undeveloped land so close to the urban center, but the fact of matter is we've got a lot of hills here that are way to steep to build on, so we don't. Even if we did, we're on glacial till here, hills of which tend to fall apart if you remove their trees.

One thing I love about Richardsonian Romanesque is how interesting the fenestration is, the effect is heightened when you photograph from an angle like this.
