It seems almost tragic that these beautiful embellishments are so rarely found on modern buildings. Even churches seem to be more likely to be made of aluminum siding today than anything worth having 50 years from now.
Modern buildings are now, like everything else, about the bottom line. No budget for unnecessary art or craftsmanship. Not many stone carvers around these days either.
