The Drake Hotel by samae

The Drake Hotel

Today I went out of my comfort zone...only wishing now that I had been "brave" to ask these gentleman if I could take their photo. At the time I thought the building was the story, but I think now the gentlemen would have made a "better" story....I'll get there. I had very little time today so I will be back. This is a hotel that was built in 1922 and was very modern and extravagant for it's day. It has been abandoned, been a mental institution, abandoned again for years only to have it be totally revitalized in recent years to the Drake apartments....restored to back to it's splendor.

Thanks for just looking and any comments are appreciated
Great architecture!

If I may, try shooting several different angles to 'find' its best side. Buildings of this age have so much to 'say'. Courage is a process, I often struggle with it.
PS- Welcome to 365! I look forward to your macro work.

@joysabin thank you SO much for the advice.... I have been kicking myself ever since... 1: true I need to work on my courage 2: I only had about 15 minutes before meeting my mom. I will be back! Lots of old buildings to play with there
