Thomson Machine Works

Almost faded away.

This lovely brick building soldiers on, dwarfed as it is by the poor later efforts of structural engineers who designed the boxes around it.

G1, kit lens @36mm, 1/100, f/5.6, ISO 320.

Located at First and Clementina Streets in San Francisco, the original tenant’s name is barely visible in the brickwork. But there’s no disguising the beauty of the brickwork or the architect’s sense of style and proportion. It’s now home to a German manufacturer of high end kitchen cabinets, doubtless made in China.

    The artistry of this old building really shines through. Living here in New York City it is sad to see so much new construction that is uninspired and so devoid of craft.

    So simple yet when I look at it i know there is something to which I was attracted. especially with the black and white effect.
