The 1869 City Hall Post Office and Court House was despised by New Yorkers for its flagrant, overbuilt aesthetic and nicknamed "Mullett's Monstrosity" after it's architect Alfred B. Mullett. As @boweryboysnyc write in their impressive new book Adventures of Old New York, "the post office looked even sadder with the arrival of the Woolworth Building across the street in 1913." When City Hall Park was expanded to the south in 1939, the post office was "finally stamped 'return to sender' and torn down." (Bowery Boys) We actually love the #SecondEmpire design of the post office, what do you think? Should it have been torn down? #SecondEmpireArchitecture (at City Hall (IRT Lexington Avenue Line))

I see a mansard roof through the trees I see a salty message written in the eaves The ground beneath my feet The hot garbage and concrete And now the tops of buildings, I can see them too - @vampireweekend • • • • #georgetown #mansardroof #secondempirearchitecture #secondempire #georgetownarchitecture #historic #historichomes #historicdistrict #archi_ologie #historicpreservation #preservation #savingplaces (at Georgetown, DC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBMMglQHRuC/?igshid=724ni0ksmtt2

As soon I saw this tower in my peripheral vision I immediately turned around to go investigate. Wow, what a find! This French Second Empire mansion was built in 1891 for Michael Majerus, by architect Theodore Kevenhoerster. It cost $5,000 to build and was the owner's second home. Majerus hailed from Germany and was a dry goods merchant. The exterior detail on this home is amazing so make sure to zoom in to see some of the decorative friezes. #historichomesofminnesota #oldhouselove #archi_ologie #mansardmonday #mansard #frenchsecondempire #secondempire #secondempirearchitecture #brickhouse #towerlove #houseaddict #thisoldhouse #chasing_facades #iloveoldhouses #stcloudmn, #storyteller, #brickstory, #travelnow, #travelamerixa, #towering, #dreamhome, Shared from @historicminnesota .

I have been obsessed with #secondempirearchitecture for a solid decade now, since the first #architecturalhistory class I took. The major feature of the #secondempire style is the #mansardroof, shown here. // #arch #quoines #baywindow #cupola #ornament #dentils #corniceline #historicpreservation #historicwindows #marblehead #thehotelmarblehead #hotelmarblehead #marbleheadMA #shingledroof #shingles #ontheroadwithlucindervention (at The Hotel Marblehead) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrC6SNdgKYP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uhxgfu8k7gmf
