I'm compiling photos of towers,steeples, domes and other similar objects for a potential book, essays, a  photographic  database for researchers and/or my own edification. I've already compiled several hundred photos in the Boston area and realize that my search is pretty random (not a bad thing). but time consuming. I intend to include most of New England but don't have the money or time to "drive around"  unless of course that grant comes in. To date most of my subjects have been churches and government buildings as well as a few "oddities' such as the tower in Fort Hill, Boston. I am looking for the buildings that aren't usually documented. IE the North church and most of Harvard.have been done to death. Unusual, quirky neglected and endangered. are what I am looking for. as well as jewels. in many forms
This group represents a pool of knowledge that any researcher would envy. I'm looking for suggestions of buildings to go to. As part of the documentation aspect, I am looking for access to the buildings to record construction details and any help in that regard would be appreciated.
