This building in Main Street, Mornington was originally the Mechanics Institute - opened in 1885.
It included a free library + large entertainment hall seating up to 300 people.
Since 1940 it has been used as council offices.

And on the "roof" of the doorway, an old philosopher's face quietly "watches"?

Encantadores os desenhos na parede...um abraço!
Lovely shadow shots for the day, Gemma! I love the face, the bare trees and the blue skies -- winter at its best!!
This is a very classy building - when it was built, it was for important purposes and thus built in 1885 with permanence and strength. So it is just right for a city council to operate - the strength of the citizenry seems to be part of this solidly built structure...
Amazing clicks...
What a lovely lacy web of shadows....
the shadows fall very nicely
I guess a lot of wisdom can be gained from constantly studying the people below!
I'd say that building facade is mottled with shadows!

Nice shadows and your man watching over.
He looks so wise and all knowing and low-key up there.
Love figures like this on buildings that seem to be watching over us... reminding that we've got history -connection to so much and so many that came before us!
Lovely!
Fantastic shadows of the tree along the wall of the building. Love the contrast between the two. Thanks for joining in on Song-ography this week :)
Very cool architecture.
Interesting building and the watcher must have seen countless people passing to and from over the years.
He looks bery serious indeed! Like the shadow of the trees on the building!
Beautiful architecture! I love that philosopher's face.
