It’s time for another installment of Mustachioed Monuments!
Same mustachioed time! Same mustachioed channel!
It was only a few weeks ago that I posted an illustration of
the Financial District. Even as I finished that image, I was trying to imagine
which mustaches would best fit this group of buildings. A quick look around
Dewey Square reveals that the area is an eclectic
ecosystem of edificial ethos. (If Stan Lee taught me one thing, it’s
alliteration.)
Without further adieu, here are the buildings and their
mustaches:
The foreground features one of the more unassuming pieces of
Dewey Square: the entrance to the T. Well, it would be unassuming if it was a simple doorway with a stairwell
down to the station. While that may be the service it provides, it’s all
gussied up as an almost otherworldly portal to all things subterranean. For
this surrealist guise, it received the mustache of Salvador Dali.
In the background on the left, the State Street building has
grown the ‘stache of a certain board game mascot, though it is a bit unkempt –
you’ll understand, I’m sure – given the
times. State Street Corporation, though, has been around for quite a long
time (ahem, 18th Century).
Finally, to the right in the background, the building at 125
Summer Street has grown the mustache of iconic game show host Alex Trebek. The
building’s classical influences – pediments, pedestals, columnar appearance,
etc. – ground it knowledgeably in history. And who’s more knowledgeable than
Mr. Trebek?
Til next time!
