Foust Building Arches


The Foust Building (circa 1892) on the campus of UNC Greensboro is, for my money, one of the most beautiful buildings in town. Built in the Romanesque Revival style it features these heavy stone arches over the front entry. The building is said to be haunted by a ghost who exercises on the top floor, where the school gymnasium was once housed.

Tin-Paneled Entry


The entryway to this downtown bar is covered with tin paneling, often seen on ceilings of early 20th century stores. When I took this photo on a Sunday morning, it smelled of stale beer and cigarettes.
