The company was founded in 1890 and remained in operation until 1971. The company produced many thousands of pianos through the years and in 1936 the company merged with the Cable Piano Company and produced pianos under the name Cable and Conover. The company's 120,000-square-foot (11,000 m2), stucco clad factory and its iron water tower base still stands in Oregon and both are considered contributing properties to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places Oregon Commercial Historic District. In 1975 the facility was converted into the Conover Square Shopping Mall and has remained so ever since. (Source Wikpedia) This photo had HDR all over it for me when I saw it.  It was in a fenced in area we could not get into it, however I could get my lens through it.  Problem was the windows were washing out the shot.  I didn't want to tone down just the windows with CS5 so I decided to try HDR.If you look at my HDR thread I have included the three-bracketed shots I used.Two other side notes, we did get to the model railroad club same building, and I'll be starting a help thread on that soon, going to need some DOF advise.  And I got my Eagle shots.  Four Eagles are right across the street from here.  Nothing worth posting, largest zoom I had with me was 200mm and had to shot into the sun.  Going to go back in the early morning to beat the sun sometime after the new zoom arrives. (Oops, did I say I was getting a new lens?)</blockquote>
