awesome building! I love it.

Not enough stucco and pesticide front grass for Ferguson though.

that has got to be the most unique building in hamilton. anyone know what architectural style it is? it reminds me of something you might see in holland or germany. one of my favourites.

Taken 28 July 2008

The front is going to be brick.

It amazes me how the brutalist architectural style is still alive and strong in 2008.

"Arguably a direct result of the economically depressed post-war American era, the brutalist movement incorporated the simplicity and bare bones attitude of the Depression evoked by the painful social and political repercussions of the 1960s overseas Vietnam War and domestic civil rights movement. This attitude is undeniably reflected in the movement's core, identifying design element of exposed skeletal and foundational structures and unprimed, or raw and uncovered." - helium.com

Uggh!

This is modern but not in the brutalist style. I've seen this structure and I think it will look alright.

Taken February 13. Expected to open sometime in March, 3 month late.

The fire hall is looking really nice. I like it. Would be nice to have this fire hall a standard for each new station in Hamilton.

realcity · #53 Posted: **Jun 1, 2009, 8:45 PM**

looks like a fertilizer factory

adam · #54 Posted: **Jun 1, 2009, 10:25 PM**

^^ agreed! compare it to the fire hall downtown and it looks brutalist.

highwater · #55 Posted: **Jun 2, 2009, 3:21 AM**

Give it time. Everything looks crappy at that stage.
