U.A.C. = Unaltered Augsburg Confession, by which the Kirche's clergy and congregants express their rejection of revisions made in the 1540s to the language of Augsburg Confession (1530), the written creed of the Lutheran Church.

Maybe you already knew that but it was new to me. Now that I know, I worry I won't remember.

Here in Owosso, Michigan, was the former D.M. Christian Department Store, described here as a "massive [...] commercial building that incorporates several late 19th-century buildings with a unified façade," including a first floor covered in "EIFS or other smooth stucco-like finish," which was applied to the building no earlier than 1979.

According to Google Streetview, the salmon paint was applied sometime between October 2018 and September 2019, covering up a light brown paint. How I do cherish these detailed memories.

It is the Schlieder Building, according to the official documentation of the Owosso Downtown Historic District, which goes on to explain that the left half was built in 1899 and the right half was built circa 1914.

I would like the building more if it had all been built at the same time, so I could point at it and announce one single year without a bunch of fussy explanation.

The erratics were strewn across the Upper Midwest during the Wisconsin glaciation of ~20,000 years ago. Personally I wish the building were something other than a church but oh well.

Oh man, I'd like to have some walls like this as walls for my wonderful house — on the interior and exterior both!
