Foothill Gold Line – detail sketch

 

FGL_depot

Before attacking this in Illustrator, I needed a detail of this very complicated piece of architecture from a birds eye view. The Claremont station, or Depot, listed on the national registry, was designed by Santa Fe architect William H. Mohr and built in 1927. The 35 foot tower facades feature concrete Churrigueresque that rise to form parapets above the roofline. It took about 12 hours to create this detail, this is gonna be a nightmare!
