Yes, my idea of photo heaven. The funny thing is I didn’t really notice the star when I took the shot — I was more drawn by the clean, simple composition. Those stars are all over buildings in DC and the surrounding area. Found this explanation on a photo on Flickr:

I believe these were used to designate strong points in the building frame where there was steel rod reinforcement behind the wood or brick. Furniture could then be more easily hoisted up to the narrow floors and not through narrow stair cases.(source)

I’d been thinking about getting back into shooting in black and white (which I’ve largely abandoned since going digital over 3 years ago), and the Turcot fit the bill as a great subject. Thanks to ncbeets for suggesting the location!
