Theme Day: squares

While looking for murals in West Oakland I came across this building off Poplar Street.  Granted it's not a pretty one, and neither is the photo, but you've got to admit this facade screams "squares."  I'm guessing this building dates from the 30s and the door and tile were installed fairly recently to upgrade the look.  The recycle can adds a certain je ne sais quoi.  Click here to see City Daily Photo's participants in this month's Theme Day.  Thanks, Jack for the heads up.

    Those tiles sure look square to me. My neighbors kitchen has that 30's look with black and white all over. MB

    Gosh, how many squares are there on this photo of yours??? Even a few lost rectangles... Who knows, after triangles and squares, they might be the next theme...

    Yup, this might bring up the bottom of the architectural scale of Squares buildings we see today. (You're welcome.)
