Windsor Community Center

In Greensboro, we love our community centers. Here we see the Windsor Community Center, located at 1601 East Lee Street at the corner of S. Benbow Road. The center is intergenerational with programs for people of all ages. The center maintains an outdoor public swimming pool in the summer. We were intrigued by the rounded, lens-shaped door. The architect sends a clear message-- enter here! What kind of community resources do you enjoy? Have you seen another building with an entrance like this? If you live in Greensboro, have you ever seen this building?

Cool. It looks like an arch gone modern.

Never been there but I could imagine taking photography courses there after entering the camera through the lens!:-)

I live in Greensboro and every time I take Lee St to cut over to 85 I see this building and although I'm not crazy about that type of architecture, I've always liked this entrance. I just found this site tonight...and am loving looking at all the places I pass by often, and some that I've never seen before - I've added the feed to my blog so I can check back every day. Thanks!

Oh wow! I've got almost this exact same shot. It was my last entry in David McMahon's "The Doors" before he "retired" from blogging.

And there's something wonky going on with your comment process. Seems like every time I try to submit one I get a "coredump" of information, but I can click the "more..." link right above here and then hit the back button to return to the comment form and everything works fine.
