Drill Hall Lincoln by pcoulson

Drill Hall Lincoln

Built in 1890 to train the military and police paid for by Mr J Ruston MP for Lincoln and wealthy business man, refurbished in 2010 now an arts centre,
Wow! Look at all the details in the windows and the building itself, this is wonderful!

@kchuk Thanks for your comments Elyse, considering it was built 124 years ago to train solders and policemen it is a very ornate building donated free to the city by Mr J Ruston;)

Neat brickwork - I first thought church when I saw the two crosses on the pillars.

What fabulous architecture. The Forces certainly know how to live in style. College Hall Officers Mess at Cranwell is stunning too. Must be a Lincolnshire thing.
