Description
I loved the contrasting architecture of these two buildings on he streets of downtown Asheville, NC, the moment I saw them. These are the Jackson and Westall buildings. Despite the different architectural styles, they were the work of the same architect, Ronald Greene.
The richest details of the Neo-Gothic Jackson building are found in the spires and gargoyles at the top, but even midway up, the architectural style is notably different from the Neo-Spanish Romanesque style of the smaller Westall building.
I chose this angle because I wanted to highlight the contrasting styles of the buildings and the beautiful old brickwork. Buildings of the early 20th century have such great and recognizable style, don't they?
