Life of A Saturnian - Henry Mason

Mr Saturn64

960 Views

A city, or a suburb, is dependent on architects. Saturnia was the home of one of Simeri's greatest architects. Henry Mason (1864-1931) designed several buildings in Saturnia and beyond after serving in Simeri's armed forces between 1874-1877. After graduating from college in 1882, Mason went on to be one of the greatest architects of all time. Let's look at some of his buildings, shall we?

Mason designed several of the most notable buildings in Mertinus City, Simeri's largest. The city flourished especially between 1910-1940.

Mason also designed some buildings of note in Churchill, a city that in recent years has seen a little bit of the worse for wear, but with some architectural acheivments.

Several row homes were designed by him, which still house everyday residents.

47ply - Thanks.  St Barbara's Church (LEX) and Goober Elementary.

 

Huston - Yeah.  Glad to get beyond the Saturnia area to other cities.

 

Also, 22 is my favorite number, and this was the 22nd entry to this journal.  If I knew I would have made the airport for the occasion.

Great entry! The contrast between new and old buildings in the last pic is really interesting.

Sylvio Jorge - Contrast is apparently one of my areas of expertise.

 

Crombianca - Which many architects have done.  Also, the name is a pun.  Get it?
