Is that a row of operating fluorescent lights at the top of photo, or just natural light seeping through?

looks like natural light.

ahhh i love all the intricate brick work. this place was beautiful.

All I think is how many brick layers and how many hours of work.I wonder if there is anyone who can do this kind of work left?

Wonder how many bricks were used?

3,257,812.5 Bricks were used.

The half-brick was later used in resolving disputes in both the luggage area and the waiting room. After the onset of hostilities it was sent overseas to France in mid-1917.
Returning triumphantly in 1919 the half brick suffered from onset of the spanish flu and spent the 20's recuperating in the coat room left of the third pillar shown above.
Called back into active duty during the disturbances of the mid 30's the half brick was once again sent overseas by Uncle Sam, this time on a tour of Africa, Asia, and other places that start with the letter A. ( Antwerp and Arglye perhaps ).
In 1945, peace broke out. Half brick returned to the US and started a speak-easy in the basement, retrofitting the prohabition-era bar that had been hidded there previously.
Due to zoning issues, the bowling alley was eventually dismantled and sold at auction, and Half Brick succumed to the 80's hair styles.
Emerging from re-hab briefly in 1997 Half Brick attempted to make a comeback tour, but was unable to re-unite, or re-ignite, or re-anythying really.

Bink...please tell my you read that somewhere. Somehow I find it disturbing that one soul could come up with something like that in a heartbeat...rofl. It is a great discourse on the history of the half-brick...

Not to be confused with a gold-brick or square grouper.

Thanks Binky you made my day! =)

And for coming up with such a wonderful and elaborate story of Half Brick I applaud you and I definitely say that you to are unique. =)
