I have not seen that corner structure before. I wonder if it has a purpose or is just decoration?

Left over from medieval structural architecture times and the castle that stood there before fending off invasions from neighboring institutions of higher learning from competing states.

If it is, it's probably a part of the Penn State campus at Mont Alto......

Thanks Rufus.
Nice to see a building like that still in use.
To me, it looks like it has been refaced with brick.
Probably to make it prettier.

I'm not sure that makes it "prettier", but probably to be a PSU edifice.

It looks to me to be built of good old Pennsylvania randomly-cut stone, not faced with a brick veneer.

The original was cut stone.

When I said "to make it prettier" I was saying what some college official thought.
I like the original rock.

We agree on both.

I've tried for days to post a few relevant layout pics but am told with a small triangle and a yellow[ ! ] that I'm beyond my limit. Huh? Maybe it's preferred I do not interject model train photos in this thread? If so, just say so, and I'll stop immediately.

That might be an indicator that capacity has been reached and that the next purge of MTJ is eminent.

Are you trying to post pictures directly to the board, or by way of a hosting service(Flickr, Image Shack, etc.)?
