RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
Old gov't office buildings (like War Dept.)?
So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |

Ok, I am way off topic, but it looks like a side view of Independence Hall.

RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
Two further excellent guesses, thank you so much, Roger and Thomas (and everyone!), but this is neither in DC nor in Chicago.
Hint #6: This hotel is known for one single incident. |

RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
I'm stumped because this building does not look all that old to me. Was it really around in the Lincoln era? Those 8 over 8 window panes are unique to me. 6 over 6 was more prevalent in the 1800s, and later renovations of buildings favored 4 over 4.
Given the "brooding" clue leads me to believe that the building had a gloomy or sinister purpose? |

RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
Kudos, Joe - you nailed it. Well deserved. I leave the pleasure to you to adjust the score.
Laurie, good point, at least one floor was added sometime - or the building was re-built in the style of the old one. Here are both: As for the plate on the current building, there are certainly different points of view: |
