Promontory Apartments was the first built high-rise tower designed by Mies van der Rohe. Buit in 1949, it gets its name from Promontory Point, a triangular peninsula that projects into Lake Michigan, which it overlooks.

Photographs from my second trip to Chernobyl Nuclear power plant and the near by city of Pripyat. September 2013. The Chernobyl disaster occurred on 26 April 1986. It is considered the worst nuclear power plant accident in history, and is one of only two classified as a level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale. The near by city of Pripyat was abandoned in the days following the Chernobyl disaster.

This view is a little different than my fisheye lens. Unfortunately, I had to stand back because it's an 18-200mm lens... the light pole is right in the middle of my shot. With the fisheye, I can stand in the middle of the street and get everything.

Once a world-famous night club now the memory lives on in the form of apartment blocks.
Taken on Saturday 14th September
One of New York City's best known apartment buildings, The Dakota was constructed from OCtober 25, 1880 to October 27, 1884--a time when the upper West Side was sparsely populated. George Henry Griebel and Karl Jacobson of Henry Janeway Hardenbergh was commissioned to do the design for Edward Clark, head of the Singer Sewing Machine Company whose firm also designed the Plaza Hotel.
According to popular legend, the Dakota was so named because at the time it was built, the Upper West Side of Manhattan was sparsely inhabited and considered as remote as the Dakota Territory. However, the earliest recorded appearance of this account is in a 1933 newspaper story. It is more likely that the building was named "The Dakota" because of Clark's fondness for the names of the new western states and territories. High above the 72nd Street entrance, the figure of a Dakota Indian keeps watch. Note the railings with "griffins and Zeuses, or are they Neptunes and sea monsters?" (AIA)
The building's high gables and deep roofs with a profusion of dormers, terracotta spandrels and panels, niches, balconies and balustrades give it a North German Renaissance character, an echo of a Hanseatic townhall. The Dakota is built in a square-shape around a central courtyard, accessible through the arched passage of the main entrance, a porte cochère large enough that horse-drawn carriages could pass.
Originally, the Dakota had 65 apartments with four to twenty rooms, no two alike. The general layout of the apartments is in the French style of the period, with all major rooms accessible from a hall or corridor, allowing for a natural migration of guests. The principal rooms such as parlors or the master bedroom face the street, while the dining room, the kitchen, and other auxiliary rooms are oriented on the courtyard. Apartments are thus aired from two sides, which was a relative novelty in New York at the time.
The Dakota is well known through popular culture--best known as the home of former Beatle John Lennon, starting in 1973. He was murdered outside the building on December 8, 1980 by Mark David Chapman and is memoraliazed in the nearby Strawberry Fields of Central Park. Director Roman Polanski filmed the exteriors for Rosemary's Baby at the Dakota, but the interiors were created in a Hollywood soundstage since the building does not allow filming inside. Similarly Cameron Crowe shot exteriors here for protaganist David Aames' residence in Vanilla Sky.
Other well known one-time residents of the Dakota have include Yoko Ono, Andrew Carnegi Lauren Bacall, Leonard Bernstein, Bono, Connie Chung and Maury Povich, Roberta Flack, Judy Garland, Judy Holliday, John Madden, Boris Karloff, Mills Lane, Gilda Radner, Paul Simon and Jerry Seinfeld.
In 2007, The Dakota Apartments was ranked #87 on the AIA 150 America's Favorite Architecture list.
The Dakota Apartments were designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1979.

This gorgeous apartment building from 1912, sits right behind Kalamata Grocery on 11st and 15th Ave SW in Calgary. This whole block is historic with rich history.
1912
1208 15 Avenue SW
This three-storey brick apartment building is one of four contiguous historic structures built for businessman Walter James Brigden (circa 1873-1961) between 1909 and 1912. It was built at the peak of Calgary’s pre-First World War population and real estate boom. The City’s population had increased more than tenfold in a decade, rising from 4,398 in 1901 to 43,704 in 1911. Before the peak of the boom, apartment buildings in Calgary provided high-class accommodation. Working-class families preferred detached homes, which contrasted the high-density housing they had known before moving here, and appealed to their dreams of upward mobility. At the height of the boom, housing demand outstripped supply, and rising prices placed home ownership beyond the means of many workers and their families. New apartment buildings like the Norwood provided affordable working-class housing.
Brigden was a London-born grocer who settled in Calgary in 1906. He bought Lots 21-24 in Block 99, Plan A1, in 1909. Brigden built three structures on Lots 21-22: a corner grocery at 1421 - 11 Street S.W., which he initially operated himself (1909); the two-storey frame Brigden Shops at 1415-19 - 11 Street S.W. (1910); and the two-storey brick Bridgen Block (1912). Brigden owned these three buildings until 1959, when they became property of Republic Investments Ltd. In 1912, he built the Norwood Apartments, which he quickly sold, on the adjacent Lots 23-24.
A building permit was recorded on September 23, 1912, for "Br[ick] Stores + Rooms" to be built at an estimated cost of $7,500. The builder was S. G. Tetley. Tax records indicate that Brigden sold the building around 1913, and that the next owner, from around 1913-1927, was Maria Soulier van Stoutenberg (alternatively expressed in the tax records as Madame Houtenberg), who owned it until around 1927. She was evidently an absentee owner, and nothing is known about her. Lou Michael of Gleichen evidently owned and lived in the building from about 1927-1929.
The next longtime owner, from about 1928-1964, was Wallace Chapman Auld. Little is known of Auld, except that he had been a hardware merchant in Castor, Alberta, and had worked in (and probably managed or operated) the power plant there in the late 1920's before moving to Calgary. Listing in Henderson’s Directory indicate that the tenants have been largely working-class, although there is one notable example: M. C. Brownlee, the manager of the Great West Saddlery Company, who briefly lived in the Norwood around 1913 and evidently occupied at least two suites.
Fire damaged a second floor suite on August 25, 1976. The apartment building is executed in Edwardian Classicism, but in a very simplified form. It is a wood frame structure clad in red brick. The facade is symmetrically organized, and features a central arched entrance flanked by full height bay windows. There are open balconies on the upper two floors. The building is finished with a pressed metal cornice/entablature. At the side, the building has a narrow window well providing internal lighting. The rear has full width wood balconies.

They sure don't build 'em like they used to. This apartment building would be right at home in one of the better areas in any large city.
It's wonderful to find a building of this quality in a very small and remote town at the very base of Oregon's scenic Blue Mountains and surrounded by agricultural and pasture land.
That it was built at all says a lot about the town's prosperous past. It's only speculation, but I have to think the architect was from Boise, Portland or perhaps even Salt Lake City or Seattle. That the building is looking this good after - what, 80 or 90 years? - speaks well of the people who have owned and maintained it.
