#FotoVorschlag: Rathäuser // Town halls, city halls

Zum #Doorsday mogele ich schnell noch einen letzten Beitrag zu diesem Vorschlag rein: Die beeindruckende #Tür des Rathauses in #Naumburg (Saale). Das jetzige #Rathaus wurde 1528 nach einem schweren Stadtbrand wiedererrichtet und 1608 sowie 1919 umgebaut. Das Türblatt am schönen #Portal aus der Renaissancezeit ist original erhalten. // For #Doorsday, I'm sneaking in one more before the new prompt – the intricate #door of Naumburg #townHall. The building was rebuilt in 1528 after a fire that destroyed much of the town centre and was remodeled in 1608 and 1919. The door is part of a beautiful #Renaissance portal and is still the original.

Bucranium on the former Gallowgate Branch of the National Commercial Bank of Scotland in Glasgow. The Bucranium is a very ancient symbol depicting the decorated skull of an ox which can be traced back as far as the Neolithic period. Its use on this otherwise Art Deco building presumably relates to its proximity to the former meat and cattle market on the other side of Gallowgate.

🐟 Concerning news that the most architecturally distinguished fish & chip shop in Britain, Oakwood Fisheries in Leeds (1938), closed in July after 85 years, with the owner citing ‘circumstances beyond his control’. Though Grade II listed, we hope this doesn't mark the end of its days as a chippie.
