Vintage and Modern by Connie Fox
Beautiful old church in San Francisco features a large and intricate Gothic arch-style stained-glass window set into red brick. Research indicates it is probably St. Marks Lutheran Church on O.Farrell Street, constructed of pink brick in a combination of Gothic and Romanesque styles. The item projecting from the brick appears to be a device from which a banner would be hung. After the San Francisco earthquake in 1906, St. Marks served as a shelter and first-aid station. Behind it, in stark contrast, is a white skyscraper office building set against a spectacular clear-blue sky.

So pleased the BW version won First Place in the Urban Renewal Contest. My sincere thanks to those who voted for my images, all of which made it to the top three slots-- a nice gift to come home to on the evening of Christmas Day.

Thank you, Sarah, for the feature--and in the top spot too! I'm also grateful to you for administering the Urban Renewal Contest, sponsored by the Architecture and Construction Group. I'm pleased to be a member, and especially pleased that the BW version of this image took first place!. For this newcomer, good things are happening.
