It's so fascinating to get a glimpse through these buildings of what the old architecture we love would have looked like when it was brand-spanking-new.

Morrow Royal Pavilion
Henderson, NV

Maybe not the most traditional or impressive design, but the facade is made of a recycled glass composite material and fly ash, which is a byproduct of coal fired power plants:

More than 500,000 bottles were used for this project. Very impressive.

Oh man, I was so excited when I saw the townhouses. They looked perfect! It makes sense that they are just renovations. Damn... I still don't think I've seen a perfect pre-war reproduction in this entire thread, with the exception of maaaybbbeee that concert hall in Vegas. Is it really so hard?

I really dig the statue of Peter the 1st, but it's definitely not traditional beyond it's olde fashione subject. The same could be said for a few of the buildings being posted in here; Wat Thaton looks like something out of an anime.

That Peter monument is kind of obnoxious, just sayin.

Well Peter the Great was the one who was solely responsible for the stereotypes of Russians being smart and obnoxious that we have today. He single handedly modernized Russia and took it 50 years into the future. He forced people to cut off their long "traditional" beards, he forced people to go to school, and he Westernized Russia. So it's because of him that Russia and Russians are what they are today. That's why he's Great and Ivan is Terrible. Both absolute monarchs though.

I love those Eastern European traditional churches. Even though I'm nonreligious, I always feel so calmed and forget all my worries when I enter them.
