You’ve become an architecture-identifying fiend, Thomas!

Hm, this was only just posted at noon… I’m feeling suspicious. Not that I would have known the building myself. I am, apparently, really bad at this.

I am on the email list which pops up here at my office.Once the post is up, if I don’t just recognize the building (this building looked sort of familiar as there are a number of federal buildings with a similar look I have seen) I have just been looking for visual clues (Police Department and National Register Plaque). Then I go to the MDAH website (now that I understand how it works). Bring up National Register listings and Ctrl-F Police Department. Answer question from link. Then take half an hour to read about the building and place since this is supposed to be a learning opportunity above all else.
