Besides the fact that its blue and gold dome is incredibly beautiful. Plus, and this may be bias, Senate House at the University of London - the library is incredible, particularly for periodicals, but the building itself is very striking, even though fascistic architecture may not be everyone's cup of tea.Greedy McMoneylesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15087382239013439646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7383306914248068494.post-61323908527827221902007-07-17T14:51:00.001-07:002007-07-17T14:51:00.001-07:00You've obviously educated Q well!You've obviously educated Q well!@themillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17644636690850127781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7383306914248068494.post-63711144310471707842007-07-17T14:51:00.000-07:002007-07-17T14:51:00.000-07:00I know it's just the architecture but the rebuilt ...I know it's just the architecture but the rebuilt library at Alexandria?<BR/><BR/>Sorry to hear about your garden.
