Incredi-build #1 - St. Pancras Station, London
Built in 1866 - 1873
by an unknown construction company.
Designed to literal perfection by George Gilbert Scott at the exact same time that he was also designing 18 other incredible buildings, that no living architect can draw up today.
Has five floors in all of its designs, but they decided not to add the fifth floor, because *that* would make it too expensive.
They clearly lacked funds.
And when you go down a floor to the station, you can definitely not see that exact fifth floor with bricked-up windows 🙃.
Luckily, we today, have gone so much beyond this silly little constructions.
That we only need a fraction of 1/1 the time to extend this building with another wing. (🤮)bjectively more beautiful, harder, better and stronger in every way.
