From another roof cut out patio - two of  Classical's lightning rods. The roof shingles are still slate.
The top of  St. Michael's cathedral's steeple appears between the two lightning rods.
This patio as of 2007 was enclosed.  because the building is now considered historic, no more alternations can be done to the exterior.  The funny thing is, in my opinion, enclosing the patios with sloping glass would give the building the look of having skylights again - like it did back in the 1890's when it was first opened!



This picture looks at the patio that the upper picture was taken from.
The modifications, in my opinion, make the building look more historic than the open patio.



Looking back at St, Michael's with a digital camera, the snow catchers appear in this picture taken with a digital camera.
Some details of my trip back in the late 1980's were lost because I had a cheap camera, my scanner was only so good and the pictures were 15 years old.



Detail of one of the rods.  My camera back in the 1980's could not do this
