Interesting, Jack. I've never heard of a Foot Guard. As a military organization that's a more fitting name than, perhaps, Shin Guard.
Looks like a massive building.
Very interesting. I've learned something new. Massive building.
Pretty amazing building Jack. Lots of bricks!
I like the large windows.
And I've learned something new this morning, too! I've never heard of the Foot Guard either. Great name and a wonderful building! Thanks for the info and a terrific capture as always! Enjoy your day, Jack!

We don't have anything like this here in Arizona.
Since 1771?! Impressive! That's very old for the USA!
Sounds like some sort of foot spray. hahahaha
Sounds like the type of thing a queen might have! I like the carving wrapping around the top of the entrance.
This entire building is used by a contingent of "foot guards"? Hmmm...interesting history and a finely-constructed building!
Interesting - the military ceremonial roles here are rotated round, so guys can be in Afghanistan one week and on guard outside Buckingham Palace a couple of weeks later. I do like this building. I wonder what 1888 signifies?
It's interesting that this building looks like many schools built before the war in Upper Silesia.
Interesting piece of history, I always enjoy these finds of yours.
That guy is not a guard, I suppose?
I've never heard of this before, but I definitely love the building. The brick is beautiful and that decorative arch is nice too!
Impressive facade and I like the sunlight in this picture!
