User:Saga City/Buildings with nicknames

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Many buildings have, over the years, acquired nicknames that in many instances have replaced the building's formal name as landmarks or descriptions. Sometimes the nicknames are affectionate hypocorisms while other examples indicate popular dislike of the building either for its architecture or for the use to which it has been put.
