I took a quick-pic of this interesting-looking building in Cambridge,
Massachusetts in June 2007 - knowing only that it looked really cute, and made me think of Little Toot the tug-boat.
Thanks to the magic of Google image search, I now know that:
- It's the Harvard Lampoon Building, fondly known as the "Lampoon Castle" and headquarters of a Harvard University under-grad humour magazine.
- It was designed by architect and Lampoon co-founder Edmund M. Wheelwright in 1909, as a mock mock Flemish castle fronted by a human head wearing a helmet or bowler hat, it is an example of the building function driving form.
