Cupola

These cupolas were used for ventilation; this one has an interesting wrought iron weather vane.

It looks like a count dracula secret lare or something.

I think it looks like a church spire: albeit a rather bleak one. Old school Puritan or unbending Calvinist, take your pick. Striking, though.

So much like a grave yard, Like nothing would disturb the peace found there

You just don't see buildings like this anymore and if they keep going like they are, we never will.

Danvers while a beauty in many respects, could be a grim looking place. Imposing, glowering, and unforgiving.

Just so everyone knows, Avalon Bay threw most of that ornamental ironwork in the trash. Including those finials on the spires.

Yes I know, but they didn't listen. The guy who runs the company tore down an historic building to construct his own crappy personal house in Lincoln, MA.

I've always been fascinated with cupolas-they have a mystical appeal. Weathervanes are cool too!

I love cupolas too. Something about them is just eerie to me. Wonder if they just threw these away too? Total waste of such beautiful architecture!
