Interesting how the detailing at the top of the spire looks to hark back to older times.

They must have fitted in a VERY large number of fire and police trucks, but where are the wide doors that open to allow fast exits with lights flashing and sirens wailing?<br /><br />The low relief sculptures are lovely, particularly the two thieves going about their business. Full body portraits squashed into two very small spaces :)Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.com
