Rensselaer was another stop during my recent road trip through Indiana. It was early and the sun raisers behind the building. Making my photographs darker than I like.
Note to self, if you visit again, try to time this in the afternoon when the sun is shining on the front of the building.

That sun makes it really difficult to get good photos in the morning. It is best to photograph this one in the afternoon. Just in case you were wondering.
