The Black Mansion

The main part of the building was designed by Italian architects Peter Barbon and Paul Rymlianyn in a Renaissance style. It was the first pharmacy in the city (the Pharmacy museum is just a few buildings down). The sandstone brick exposed to the wind and rain have gradually acquired a darker tint. The mansion is more of a dark gray rather than a black but it was finally painted black. The little bench is where the security guard use to sit.
