Is it the Taronga Zoo Conference Centre, right? When the kids were small, and we were zoo friends, we would bring a packed lunch and sit in the building in front and have lunch. #Australia

The place is lopsided w the entrance at the end of the long side of the building. Classical architecture is BALANCED.

This beauty has been a prominent architectural design icon in Hull since 1963. It was originally commissioned by the co-op and has been a constant in all my life. Approx 20m square.

New coat of paint and some love and it's on! Apparently it used to be used for a lot of different things, it's well over 100 years old, closer to 200 I think But at once it was used as a small movie theater type thing So rad

That's an impressive building! I don't think I've ever seen it before - is it near the centre of the town?
