Haven School - late 19th Century Chicago
-
This is the first work I'm sharing on this board.
This is a model I've made of Haven School which used to be located around 15th Street and Wabash Avenue in Chicago. I'm not sure when it was originally constructed nor when it was taken down.
I haven't taken the time to thoroughly color the model yet or run it through fancy renderers so it doesn't look quite so good as others do here but I'm pretty happy with what I was able to make here.
Sure enough, I found the actual photograph of the school only after having completed my work. The image I used for reference was a hand-drawn picture which I found in a History of Chicago book from the late 1800's. As such, I did have to take some liberty in making the model, since I had no accurate plans or measurements to work with.

Great work. Love those turn of the century buildings, shame it was torn down, would have made great lofts.

nice modeling mate, wating for sweet texturing and render

Nice, but there appear to be an awful lot of normals facing the wrong way.
