The old city hall, and former high school is built in an American adaptation of Moorish/Spanish/Mexican Mediterranean architecture. A style designed for a relatively hot climate. Lots of big windows and doors, hallways on the outside with one side being arches for air flow while being shaded. On upper floors the halls are a balcony with a roof for shade or partial protection from inclement weather. In modern materials the whole is covered in stucco to give the look of adobe or stone though I have seen some lovely buildings that used the more northern red brick style walls and facings.

*A tiny sensor so 4 mm becomes a "normal" lens and not a distorting "fisheye". But the tiny sensor limits how large the image can go before it begins to break down. When this Covid stuff dies down I really need to go with my 5DIV and a wide angle to do do this building again. Though normally architectural photography is not really one of my passions.
Here are two different halls in both B&W and Color.
Very nice. Well done photos.

I enjoyed seeing all of these.
I like them all. Color doesn't really do much for the first on, but I think in adds to the second.

Thanks, a professor I had said very often the subject dictates the style that will show it best.
