Here's a look at the former headquarters of Victoria Versicherung in Berlin. How fantastic it must have been to walk through such a stately doorway on your way to work back in the old days.
Here's a closer look at the details. They just don't make them like this anymore! It's Tuesday, and you'll find more treasures here.
Wow - such beautiful details!
ReplyDeleteDetails at their finest. Those statues almost look real.
ReplyDeleteCertainly is a magnificent door. But what was the building used for in the "good ol' days"?
ReplyDeleteVictoria was (and still is) an insurance company.
DeleteThis building no longer houses their headquarters, but is shared by several companies.
I hope people who walked through this entry way on their way to work remembered to look up!
ReplyDeleteYes you are right, it is all glass buildings nowadays for offices.
ReplyDeleteWhat amazing stone craving! This work could not be replaced today. Thanks for sharing this week, I hope to see you back again.
ReplyDeleteDistinctive and distinguished!
ReplyDeleteThe details are stunning.
ReplyDeleteFantastic in every way! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine the number of man (person) hours put into that.

ReplyDeleteNow THAT's a doorway!!
ReplyDeleteLove the details, Hal !
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info, Hal. Should have guessed, I guess. I mean who always has the most money other than insurance companies? 😇
ReplyDeleteOh I so agree Hal, going to work in a building like this AND getting paid for it would be excellent ☺☺
