Det er onsdag – og tid for nok en liten gjettelek. Hvor i all verden er denne kule Art Deco-bygningen?
Hint: Hvis du er krim-nerd som jeg, kjenner du kanskje igjen huset til en berømt detektiv?

London

London is right.
Generally, I would have had no idea…BUT… the first time I was in London (way back when) one of the people I was traveling with was an Agatha Christie fan and we had to seek out this building which I believe was the home of Detective Poirot.

Right. And cool. That is how I often find places, too. My daughter is a fan of Poirot and so we had to search for this building.
Emma Peel’s apartment in The Avengers?? This is most likely not correct, but couldn’t resist throwing it out there.

Haven’t seen the Avengers. Curious about it now.
In a city, I bet !
The best
The only famous detective that came to mind was Sherlock Holmes. But that’s a fictional character so I’m not sure. Nice shot, though.

Same city as Sherlock, at least
I’m just going to throw out something and say Chicago – but really no clue.

Not Chicago. Were you thinking of detective V.I. Warshawski, perhaps?
Poirot’s place! London.
Jim O’Donnell recently posted..The Cow-Headed Man
Right
In the PBS “Mystery” series, Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot resided at “Whitehaven Mansions” which is located at “Charterhouse Square … just west of Goswell Road/Aldersgate Street and one block north of Beech Street” according to this page on the “Hercule Poirot Central” Website: http://www.poirot.us/mansions.php

Yes!
I love these Where in the World posts, but I never know the answer. I always learn something new though.

Thanks
Hmmm… I’m not sure! I can’t think of any non-fictional detectives. I need more clues!
Michael Figueiredo recently posted..Photo Essay: Colorful Angra do Heroísmo, Portugal
Eh… not exactly non-fictional. Should have made that clear, I suppose…
once again…I have no idea! I’m really bad at this!

Thanks for having a peek, anyway
I’m always game, and this house could be Florin Court in London that has been used as Whitehaven Mansions, home of Agatha Christie’s great detective Poirot in the ad tedium rerun tv series.

It is! Well done! (I sense you’re perhaps not a huge fan
)
As I’m not nearly as well-traveled as you
, I never can guess but I always think these posts are FUN!!

Thanks, Becca!
I’ve arrived too late to guess, but how interesting. Nice image, too.

i would have guessed London, but couldn’t have gone any further than that. I like seeing where famous people live.

I think it must be in one of the northern countries, Denmark, Norway, Netherlands, UK, Sweden, or something like that. I think it because the windows are really huge, and that’s a sign of the architecture of the northern countries (because there is a lack of sunshine, so they always wanted to let the sunshine in the inner rooms.
