Final photo of Denver's East High School. It's a big building, stretching over 450 feet (135 meters) in length. This photo shows a bit more of the two symmetrical wings, which feature mid-wing octagonal towers that interrupt the long horizontal run of the wings and serve as secondary nodes and vertical accents to the central tower.

The building is also situated within a formal site plan at the foot of East 16th Avenue, with the 162-foot (49-meter) central tower being a visual terminus that can been seen from quite a distance away. The building fronts on City Park Esplanade, a City Beautiful-era landscaped parkway that connects Colfax Avenue to the southwest entrance to City Park, directly north of the school.

This is East High School in Denver, built in 1925. Inspired by Independence Hall in Philadelphia, the building blends Italian Renaissance Revival, Collegiate Gothic, and Beaux-Arts features and influences to project a strong civic identity.

This building is a manifestation of the community's belief at the time in the value and importance of public education.

The Plaza Mayor of #valladolid #spain has been called as such since the 16th century. Before that it was known as the market square. The current #beauxarts building was built in 1908 after fire destroyed the original 16th century #townhall in 1879.
