Isn't this beautiful!


Isn't this building gorgeous? For the past 6 or 8 weeks John has been telling me he was going to take me out to Santa Rosa to see his completed project at the Santa Rosa Junior College. Between the holidays and other conflicts we hadn't found a day to do it until yesterday. Hunt Masonry built this building on the campus - it is a Science and Student Center building. It is enormous and absolutely beautiful!



It's so big it is hard to get a picture to do it justice. I was really blown away - it was amazing.
John has done a lot of impressive projects over the last 25 years he has run his business - but this one is my new favorite of all his work.

The brick paving is beautiful too.

The campus has some beautiful old oak trees and the other buildings are all brick as well - it really makes for a gorgeous campus.
And it's not just me that was so impressed. The architect for the project came out and saw the completed building and said it was the most beautiful brick work he had ever seen.

I'm so proud of you John! This will be pretty cool to be able to show your children and grandchildren that you are responsible for all of this. WOW!!!!!
Thanks for the Santa Rosa date - I loved it all.

Wow John you certainly have a gift. I will tell you that brick is my favorite building material. One day I promised myself to live in an all brick house. I LOVE the look of brick. This building is mighty impressive & so beautifully done. I love the way big oak tree stands in front. I also really like the white balconies mixed with the red brick. Nicely done John!!!

I'm with summer, someday hunt masonry needs to do some work for my house! lets start with my fireplace! Mom, you should get a wide angle lens and photograph all dads work around the bay area and make a book. that would be the best gift ever.

Who knew brick could look so good! From personal experience I can vouch for John's work. He redid our sidewalk on our house in Concord. I know it was just a tiny little sidewalk, but it baffled Kent. Remember that?
