Forum Game - Where's That Landmark?

CaptainQuasar

Yep, that's why I chose it, because if you correctly guess it's a nuclear power plant you can track it down using searches for "nuclear tits" or "nuclear boobs". Though I don't know if that's how Borek did it...

Borek

I am back.



That it is nuclear power plant was obvious, I was lucky to get it googling and following links just for "nuclear plants" search, although I was very close to mistake it for Donald C. Cook.

Is that the main building of Moscow State University in Russia?

Borek

Yes

CaptainQuasar

I think that may be correct, just from memory.

turbo

Here a personal favorite - never visited, though.

Is that Alhambra?

turbo

Nope, not Alhambra, but a good guess from the architecture. It IS a named building, though and its name ends in an "a". One of my favorite artists wrote a beautiful song about the house.

Victorian gothic say 1870-1890, so if it's in the USA it will be on the east coast.

turbo

You're very good - it is a famous house built by a famous man in the early part of your date range.

turbo

Need another hint?

lisab

yes, please...

turbo

The man who built the house was a famous artist, and he sold one of his paintings for the highest price ever paid to a living artist, at the time. He traveled widely.

turbo

The house and grounds are maintained as a park open to the public.

Olana!

turbo

You got it! Frederick Church was the most prominent artist of the Hudson River school of landscape painting, so I didn't want to mention the river that the mansion overlooks.

lisab

I've never heard of Olana. But I browsed around all the pictures of it...looks like a really nice place.

OK, I'm working on the next one...give me a minute....
