Did a walk around Green Lake today and then decided that it was warm enough to do some sketching outside. I remembered that there was an old school house on the north-east side of Green Lake that I had once seen in a Green Lake Neighborhood Inventory and so decided if I could find it. It took me driving up a few side streets until I found it at the round-a-bout on Orin Court. It was built in 1916 and has a bell tower with a bell still up in it. I don't know what it is used for now, but it seems to be well care for.
After finishing, I decided to head up to Eastlake to sketch a coop apartment building that was built in 1909. L'Amourita (French-Spanish for "lover") is a mission revival building built by developer Adolph J. Jarmouth.

Great post and different in feel from your "in construction" images from the high-rises of Lake Union/Amazon areas. I like these because of the mood they create. Thanks.

Wonderful sketches.
ReplyDeleteI have driven by that bell tower many times in my 'hood but have never stopped to sketch it. Now I definitely want to (but I'll wait for the temps to go up a little)! Lively sketches, David, as always.
