These spiral steps lead to side entrances of the YWCA downtown. The building was built in the 1920s, and they just don't make stairs curve quite like these anymore.

i love this photo..
I like the steps, your right they dont do them like this anymore. They have character.
Very neat stairs. I like them. MB
It is lovely to see something that isn't all squared and severe on a building, and this being meant for direct human use makes it that much more a touch of gentleness.
This is what I mean about using your instinct. It's a fabulous image. The curves and lines eading though it are great. Try desaturaing it as a b&w, this would be stunning.
I love these old stairways. So much more interesting than the modern straight staircases!
Very pretty, and I like curves more than squares for some reason. More pleasing to my eye.
