The Hodson Block is a 1912 building a couple blocks from home, now with a neighbourhood cafe and wine-making shop. When I drew it, the walls were actually exactly the same colour as the sky, but the building is being restored and the bright blue is making way for a more traditional green and red. I particularly like the shingles, which include diamonds on the turrets, and some remarkably haphazard rows - they didn't necessarily do everything a lot more carefully in the old days...
