The Queen Victoria Building, now affectionately known as the QVB, was built in 1898. It’s an impressive building built in the Romanesque revival architectural style and is definitely worth a visit.
George Street, Sydney
October, 2022
This early 19th Century home wasn't grand enough for the original family, so they built a more imposing structure a short distance away. Feel free to add your own thoughts here on the hubris of famine-era landlords...
Described as "perhaps the most notable wooden Orthodox church in Finland", St Nicholas' Church in Joensuu, the second largest Orthodox parish in Finland after Helsinki, was built in 1887.
It is located at one end of Kirkkokatu (Church Street) - the Lutheran parish church is at the other end.
Looking towards Pen y gwyryd hotel and Eryri mountains in the autumn.
This started as a farmhouse and then changed to a coaching Inn in mid 19thcentury.And later a hotel for mountaineers,it became famous with the British association in 1953 British Mount Everest expedition which used the hotel as a training.Today it a popular hotel a heaven for climbers preserving memorabilia and a historic atmosphere.
Sculptures depicting Commerce, Justice and Britannia, look down benignly from the apex of the Merchant Hotel’s magnificent façade on Belfast’s Waring Street. Originally the headquarters of the Ulster Bank for a century and a half, since 2010 this building has been has been a luxury hotel.
Bank Directors Robert Grimshaw and James Heron visited Glasgow and Edinburgh in 1857 to glean as much information as possible on the best banking buildings. It was their earnest wish that the building should appear elegant, substantial and prosperous. The location was deemed eminently suitable being, as it was then, in the heart of Belfast’s mercantile and commercial centre.
The Glaswegian architect James Hamilton designed an imposing building in High Victorian Italianate style executed in Giffnock sandstone.
The Merchant Hotel is located in the Cathedral Quarter nightlife district.

"OK, now that we're over the wall, I gotta find a 7-Eleven and get a Slurpee. Man, I'd kill for a Slurpee."
Uh, Phil, you DID kill for a Slurpee. That's how you wound up here."
"Oh, yeah. Well, I do like Slurpees."

Viewed here from Market Street in Twilight, Grey's Monument is a Grade I listed monument to Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey built in 1838 in the centre of Newcastle upon Tyne. It was erected to acclaim Earl Grey for the passing of the Great Reform Act of 1832 and stands at the head of Grey Street. It consists of a statue of Lord Grey standing atop a 40 metre high column. The column was designed by local architects John and Benjamin Green, and the statue was created by the sculptor Edward Hodges Baily (creator of Nelson's statue in Trafalgar Square). It was paid for by public subscription.

Carew Tidal Mill, built in the early 19th century. There is evidence that a mill has been in operation from as early as 1542 at this location.
We're just back from a short break in Pembrokeshire, so will have a few photos to share.
Thanks for looking, faves, and comments, it's all much appreciated!
Saint Nicholas the Wonder Worker is the Orthodox cathedral in Białystok, and the seat of the Bishop of the Białystok-Gdańsk in Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church.
The 40 metre high edifice was erected in 1843-46 as a parish church, following eastern Poland’s ‘partition’ into the Russian Empire, and both an anti-Uniate persecution campaign and migration from other areas due to the industrialisation of Białystok, which led to a rise in the Orthodox population in the city. It was built in a neo-classical style typical of Russian Orthodox architecture in the late 18th and early 19th Centuries.
It became the cathedral of the Białystok-Gdańsk Orthodox Diocese in 1951. In June 1991, Pope John Paul II visited the cathedral as part of his official visit to his native Poland.
St Matthew’s Church in the village of Rowde (population 1,400), just outside Devizes in Wiltshire.
A Saxon Church in Rowde was recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086. By medieval times there was a stone church, from which the chancel, although altered, remains. A tower was built in the 15th century and still remains as the west tower of the church. Much of the church we see today dates from the 19th century. In 1833, the nave was rebuilt. It is in cut stone with slate roofs and embattled parapets. Arcades and aisles were added in 1860. In 1901 the chancel walls were raised and a new roof provided.

Fenny Stratford Lock is a small but historically significant lock on the Grand Union Canal, located in the town of Fenny Stratford, now part of Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire. Built in the early 19th century, the lock is notable for its very modest rise of just 12 inches (about 0.3 meters), making it one of the shallowest locks on the canal system. Adjacent to the lock is a manually operated swing bridge, which allows road traffic to cross the canal. The lock and bridge together represent a quaint and well-preserved example of canal engineering from the early industrial era.

The parish of St James is its own small village under the hill south of Shaftesbury, a histoirc and picturesque town in Dorset, and is the oldest part of the town.
Although there has been St James' Church on this site since around 1138, the current building (Grade II listed) is not especially old, having been completely rebuilt in 1866-7 to designs by TH Wyatt, at a cost of £3,350. It was rebuilt in decorated or middle-pointed style in the local green sandstone with dressings of Bath stone. Wyatt also re-used much of the fabric of the old church. The rebuilding was needed to accommodate a rapidly growing population in the area, as the existing building was too small.
The church consists of a nave, chancel, vestry, aisles, north porch and an embattled western tower 21 metres/65 feet in height, with four pinnacles and containing a clock and six bells.
I’ve loved this cottage since seeing it 10 years ago. To me it’s not an architectural design but years of adapting and using the space to its best advantage. I would say the cottage was built in the 19th Century at a guess and still a function and delightful home.
The Théâtre du Châtelet is a theater and opera house, located in the place du Châtelet in the 1st arrondissement of Paris.
One of two theaters (the other being the Théâtre de la Ville) built on the site of a châtelet, a small castle or fortress, it was designed by Gabriel Davioud at the request of Baron Haussmann between 1860 and 1862. Originally named the Théâtre Impérial du Châtelet, it has undergone remodeling and name changes over the years. Currently it seats 2,500 people. The theater was registered as a historic monument on November 14, 1979.

Photoblog of Elora can be seen here: www.agreatcapture.com/blog/elora-ontario
Still standing, the five-storey original Elora grist mill (built in 1832) was a sawmill, a distillery and a flour mill over the subsequent years. In the 1970s, it became a luxury hotel, the Elora Mill Inn, but the inn was closed in 2010. Plans were made to convert it to condominiums and a hotel by the new owners of the property, Pearle Hospitality. The company, originally called Landmark Group, also owns and operates other high-end facilities such as the Ancaster Inn and the Cambridge Mill.
A February 2017 news item provided additional specifics: "Elora Mill Inn and Spa, a $120 million project expected to bring a world class resort and 250 jobs to the area when it opens in Spring 2018. After extensive renovations costing $27 million, the Elora Mill Hotel & Spa opened in July 2018 as a high-end facility. A news report indicated that the business employed 170 people. Pearle Hospitality intended to build a condo apartment building as well, but did not plan to start that project until 2019.
I can't find any information on this attractive office block conversion near Bradford Cathedral, and the Jubilee Centre is not a listed building, but the jolly, well-kept, brickwork caught my eye as I walked past.
View across the River Lagan from the SSE Arena to the Belfast Harbour Commissioners’ building and, behind it, Sinclair Seaman’s Church.
The first section of the Harbour Commissioners’ building, designed by the Commissioners' engineer George Smith, was opened in 1854 and erected at a cost of £8,000. A subsequent extension, by the celebrated Belfast architect William Henry Lynn, was completed in 1895 at a cost of £14,349. The style of architecture reflects that of an Italian palazzo.
Sinclair Seaman’s Church is a Presbyterian foundation built in 1857-8 by Sir Charles Lanyon, the key architect of High Victorian Belfast, for visiting seafarers.
Yet another piece of Excel sheet anti-architecture is being built next to it, but I trust from how it is shaping up that the view across the river is being preserved. There are no guarantees with that given Northern Ireland’s planning system is as dysfunctional as the rest of its public administration and even parts of the riverfront that were beautifully reimagined as part of the late 1990s retrieval of the waterfront have already been lost.
19th century construction for The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and that incorporates the Stock im Eisen on one corner. Stock im Eisen (German: "staff in iron") is the midsection of a tree-trunk from the Middle Ages, a so-called nail-tree (Nagelbaum), into which hundreds of nails have been pounded for good luck over centuries.
The Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus in Mumbai is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and busiest railway station. Formerly named Victoria Terminus, it was built between 1878 and 1887 in the Victorian Italian Gothic style. The design was modelled after London's St. Pancras Stationlliam Stevens, based on an initial design by Axel Haig. The station's roof features church-like by Frederick Wispires and an impressive gothic-style central dome.

The former headquarters of the Northern Counties Investment Trust at 32 Manor Row, Bradford.
This Grade II listed town house was built around 1820 of dressed sandstone "brick". The built out shop front with its renaissance decorative details was added during or around the 1880s.

This house in Manistee, Michigan is a blend of Queen Anne and Colonial Revival, a transitional style that gained favor in the late Victorian era. The asymmetrical layout, projecting bay window, and wraparound porch are hallmarks of Queen Anne design, while the clean lines, classical balustrades, and symmetrical dormers nod to the emerging influence of Colonial Revival. Decorative brackets and spindlework lend charm without overwhelming the façade, and the soft color palette enhances its stately, inviting presence.
Set amid vibrant landscaping and beneath the filtered shade of mature trees, this home likely dates from the 1890s to early 1900s, when Manistee’s wealth from lumber and shipping supported such architectural ambition. Its prominent position and well-maintained details suggest it may have served as a showpiece in the community, reflecting the town’s evolution from rugged frontier to cultured lakeshore city.

Buildings in strong sunshine, with a background of dark cloud: always one of my favourite types of lighting conditions for photography!
This is Clayton Street, in Newcastle upon Tyne's Grainger Town district, the historic heart of the city centre, incorporating classical streets built by Richard Grainger, a builder and developer, between 1824 and 1841. It is one of the finest townscapes in Europe. These buildings are predominantly four storeys, with vertical dormers, domes, turrets and spikes.
The area decayed quite badly between the 1960s and 1980s, with both the residential population and the number of commerical tenants collapsing thanks to suburbanisation. Around a quarter of the original scheme's buildings were demolished from this period. A programme of property development and environmental enhancement was started in 1993 with Newcastle City Council and the English Heritage to tackle most of the worst buildings at risk and stop the decline of the area. Between 1997 and 2003, city leaders, national government, and the heritage sector worked together to secure £174 million of investment into the area, £146 million from the private sector. This, at least for another generation, secured the future of Grainger Town.
The street is named for John Clayton, antiquarian and town clerk of Newcastle upon Tyne during the nineteenth century. He worked with the builder Richard Grainger and architect John Dobson to redevelop the centre of the city in a neoclassical style and also did much to preserve the Roman-era Hadrian's Wall.

Shot from the ferry from Belfast as it was about to dock at Birkenhead, Liverpool Cathedral towers above the buildings of the Royal Albert Dock on the River Mersey. The distance to the Cathedral is about 2.5 kilometres.
Liverpool Cathedral is the Cathedral of the Anglican Diocese of Liverpool, built on St James’s Mount. This totemic example of 20th Century church architecture is the largest cathedral and religious building in Britain, and the eighth largest church in the world.
The cathedral is based on a design by Giles Gilbert Scott and was constructed between 1904 and 1978, and was eventually completed to a much simpler design for the west front than in Scott’s original plans. The total external length of the building, including the Lady Chapel is 189 metres, making it the longest cathedral in the world; its internal length is 150 metres. In terms of overall volume, Liverpool Cathedral ranks as the fifth-largest cathedral in the world and contests with the incomplete Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City for the title of largest Anglican church building. With a height of 101 metres it is also one of the world’s tallest non-spired church buildings and the third-tallest structure in the city of Liverpool. The cathedral is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, as one might expect. Public worship takes place in the cathedral every day.
The Royal Albert Dock is a complex of dock buildings and warehouses in Liverpool, England. Designed by Jesse Hartley and Philip Hardwick, it was opened in 1846, and was the first structure in Britain to be built from cast iron, brick and stone, with no structural wood. As a result, it was the first non-combustible warehouse system in the world. The Dock was already struggling with declining traffic as early as 1870, however, and after decades of financial struggles and serious bomb damage during World War Two, in 1972 the dock was finally closed. Having lain derelict for nearly ten years, the redevelopment of the dock began in 1981, when the Merseyside Development Corporation was set up, with the Albert Dock being officially re-opened in 1984 as a shopping and later also entertainment complex. Today the Royal Albert Dock is a major tourist attraction in the city and the most visited multi-use attraction in the United Kingdom, outside London.

A lovely three story mansion built around 1900, Andriyivskyy Descent 7a in Kyiv now houses the Brazilian Embassy to Ukraine.
Andriyivskyy Descent (Ukrainian: Андріївський узвіз) is a historic street lined with handsome late 19th and early 20th Century mansions which is the heart of Kiev's tourist scene.
8/14 Velyka Zhytomyrska St, Kyiv also known as 14 Volodymyrskaya Street, is a historical monument in the Ukrainian capital but I can find no further details on its architectural history than this. I presume it is part of the great late 19th Century building boom that accompanied the sugar beet boom of the same period.
The pottery barn in Old Sturbridge Village. Some very busy potters must have been at work for a very long time to come up with all these raw pots and vases that stand like an army in one of the dimmer corners of this barn. What a nice opportunity to play with the available light and shallow DOF...

Overnewton was the residence of William Taylor (1818 – 1903). He was born in Glasgow, Scotland and arrived in Australia in 1840. Soon after his arrival he purchased a sheep station (a large farm) on the Moorabool River some twenty miles from Geelong and subsequently acquired extensive properties totalling 2,048,000 acres in Victoria and New South Wales. William Taylor married Helen Wilson Fisken in 1849 and established the Overnewton property the same year in Keilor, then a district outside of Melbourne.
Overnewton originally covered 13,000 acres of land and a single storey, six roomed homestead was built in the typical style of the period; a colonial cottage with large shuttered windows and wide verandahs. The homestead was positioned on a gentle slope overlooking Keilor and afforded extensive views of the surrounding countryside.
It was not until William Taylor returned from a trip to Scotland in 1859 that the grandeur of his dreams became apparent. He set about turning the functional colonial homestead into a miniature Scottish Baronial Castle. The stately two storeyed wing was added, along with the blue stone dairy and butchery and the private billiard room.
Overnewton is built in the Victorian Tudor style, inspired by 16th century English and Scottish architecture. The Scottish Baronial style is characterised by its rough textured masonry, steeped pitched roofs and overhanging battlement corner turrets. The candle snuffer roofs show the influence of the French architecture. The bluestone walls were quarried on the estate and rendered with a yellow gravel and stucco finish. Above the large windows of the master bedroom is the Taylor family crest - a mailed arm and fist enclosing a dagger and the motto "Semper Fidelis" (always faithful) and above several other windows are the carved initals of HT, T 1859 and WT.
After the completion of this wing the homestead consisted of over thirty-five rooms including seven bedrooms (the master room included a small circular room and a dressing room) schoolroom, library, drawing room, two kitchens, five servants rooms and the billiard room. There are still many original features such as tiles in the bathrooms, claw foot bath and the old IXL wood stove in the kitchen. Several out buildings on the estate include the bluestone butchery and dairy, lamp room, bootroom, coachhouse, stables, woolshed, shearing sheds and machine shed.
