Loosely based on the architecture at IIT in Chicago by Mies van der Rohe, it was indeed boring from a building perspective, but for a place to ride my bike around and go play in the surrounding fields when I was a kid, it was actually awesome. The campus has substantially grown at this point, and some of the architecture is improved too. I think Christine did a previous post (but I couldn't find it) on the Broome County Alms House/Farm, which was just off the photo on the bottom left corner.Archie Techthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08030376486096194337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323012003780250968.post-45880397555607000322012-07-11T18:56:47.675-07:002012-07-11T18:56:47.675-07:00This post had me laughing out loud and feeling so ...This post had me laughing out loud and feeling so much better for it.
