He has stamped his character all over some of its finest buildings. His sculptures are a wonderful mix of classical and modernist and somebody ought to collect all his works together and show the city they have a son to be proud of.divehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12938980502783421961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380304323931971092.post-31702647939170284612011-10-24T09:38:23.098-05:002011-10-24T09:38:23.098-05:00"Evening,Dive.

I've found his hand represented on other buildings very different in appearance than the others you've seen here, the Test and the McOuat Bldgs. While I have pictures of the other structures, I don't have any of the details and decorations made by Sangernebo.<br /> Sadly, while Sangernebo did a lot of work, he was not well-to-do. I'm not certain whether he just lived hand to mouth or in "typical" artist fashion, was not good at managing his money. I've looked and haven't been able to find much information about him. I'm going to the Historical Society this week to work on my book; maybe they will have something. I think he deservaes a little show or a small book of photos. What say you, living over there in a land full of such treasures?Speedwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16294062505751359294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380304323931971092.post-46132906965407742392011-10-24T02:07:49.730-05:002011-10-24T02:07:49.730-05:00Sangernebo sure was a busy boy, Speedway.

I am sure a building so magnificent will find a new use soon, and hopefully one that benefits the public as it has done in the past.divehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12938980502783421961noreply@blogger.com
