Ok, OK, less of the sarcasm,Here is part of the description of a building in Leeds, it's lifted from "Jacksons guide to Leeds".The first description is easy, so I will not give you much to go on, as time goes by I'll add to it, but I will miss out certain bits if it gives the game away too readily."The structure is a parallellogram............"

not much of a clue as most buildings are rectangular (regular parallelogram) or square (regular rectangle)

Morleylass has it, which is why the clue was so sparse."The structure is a parallellogram, 250 feet by 200 feet, standing on an elevated platform surrounded by Corinthian columns and pilasters, supporting an entablature and attic about 65 feet in height.The South, or principle facade has a deeply resssed portico of 10 columns, approached by a flight of 19 steps, 135 feet in length, with a pedestal at each corner, upon which pedestals four colossal lions were placed in 1867"The rest of the description is quite a length but that gives a flavour.Another one will come up for you tommorrow.
