National Assembly is to the left of this photo. It's the Agricultural Development Bank you see in the center left background.

 

Parking for the PanCanal Administration Building

 

Yesteryear's neglected steet lamp, with a stolen and forgotten marker. Quite the post-colonial statement.

 

It used to be Gorgas Hospital, but now it's the country's main courthouse.

 

Quite the challenging restoration job. Is it safe to work on it?

 

The canal administrator's palace. Canal Zone governors used to live there.
