The Old Main, also known as the Livingston C. Lord Administration Building, is the oldest building at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Illinois. Construction on the building began in 1896 and was completed in 1899.
Architect George H. Miller designed the building, which has a medieval style resembling a castle. The building features a central tower, multiple turrets, and a crenellated roof line. It is one of five medieval buildings built at Illinois' public universities under Illinois Governor John Peter Altgeld's administrations; the buildings are collectively known as Altgeld's castles.
Altgeld was a German native who favored Gothic Revival architecture. The governor had a great liking for medieval castles and insisted new state construction during his term in office be inspired by them. Other Altgeld castles can be found at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Northern Illinois University at DeKalb, and Illinois State University at Normal. EIU and ISU are the only schools where the "castle" is not named after Governor Altgeld.
The Old Main originally housed all of the offices and classrooms for Eastern Illinois, its library, auditorium, and gymnasium. It was the only building on campus until 1909, when Pemberton Hall opened. The building is now used mainly as an administrative building, though it still contains some classrooms.
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.

It was named for Jacob Dobson Cox, one of Oberlin's famous graduates and notable as a Civil War general, holder of several political offices, and a university dean and president.
The Cox Administration Building, begun in 1913 and completed in 1915, was Gilbert's second structure on the Oberlin campus, and marked the turning point for Gilbert's influence on the college's campus design. NRHP
Except it's not. Just another shot of the old power plant that's been turned into a little village inside the city of Austin. As you can tell, I'm really taken by it. If I still lived in Austin, I would want to live here.
The Seaholm Power Plant was commissioned in 1948 to meet Austin's growing demand for electric power. The engineering firm Burns & McDonnell designed the complex, which was constructed in two phases in 1951 and 1955. The facility originally included a Turbine Generator Building, a Water Intake Structure and an Oil Heating Building. A guard booth and a storage building were added to the site later. Originally called "Power Plant No. 2," on 2 June 1960 the plant was renamed posthumously for Walter E. Seaholm, a prominent figure in the administration of Austin’s municipal utilities.[2]
Seaholm served as Austin’s sole source of electric power from 1950 to 1959, until demand outpaced the 120 megawatts the plant could generate with all five boilers running. As other stations were built the city's reliance on Seaholm waned, and in 1989 the plant stopped providing power to the city, though it was used as a training facility until 1996, when it closed entirely.[3]
Redevelopment[edit]
The site lay dormant until 2004, when the Austin city council requested proposals for redevelopment partners. Several firms and consultancies formed an organization called "Seaholm Power, LLC" which was designated in April 2005 to lead redevelopment of the defunct power plant and the surrounding site.[4] A master development agreement was reached with the city in April 2008 specifying the renovations and new construction that would be undertaken.[5]
Work began on the plant's redevelopment in mid-2013.[6] The interior of the turbine generator building was converted to a mixture of office, retail and restaurant space, with tenants occupying the facility beginning in 2015.[7] A residential tower called Seaholm Residences was constructed at the west end of the site, also opening in 2015. As of 2018, the city has not selected a final plan for the redevelopment of the water intake facility.[8]
The Adirondack Cottage Sanitarium was a tuberculosis sanatorium established in Saranac Lake, New York in 1885 by Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau. After Trudeau's death in 1915, the institution's name was changed to the Trudeau Sanatorium, following changes in conventional usage. It was listed under the latter name on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.
The Trudeau Sanatorium closed in 1954, after the discovery of effective antibiotic treatments for tuberculosis. The property was sold by Trudeau's grandson, Dr. Francis B. Trudeau, Jr., to the American Management Association in 19 116
WPA mural in the Goodland, Kansas, post office. Painted by Kenneth Miller Adams, it was installed in the then-new building in 1937. I boosted the color a little to see what it might have looked like 80 years ago. Based on the condition of the ceiling, I don't think it's being conserved. (Neither, apparently, is rural free delivery.)
The administration office... - Built in the 17th century, acquired 20 years later to act as the central office for the steel industry. This large building, which has been expanded several times over the years, is now empty and abandoned. The main building is quite large and what remains is a large L-shaped structure spread over 3 floors and a large basement. Abandoned since 1986.
That's actually the old Erlangen Palace in the background, now serving as the university administration building. And the horses are part of a children's carousel or merry-go-round at the central Erlangen Christmas Market. I got the shot on one of those rare November days when the sun was shining.

Excerpt from www.heritagetrust.on.ca/en/oha/details/file?id=2425:
Former Land Registry Office: The first Registry 0ffice built in Oxford County was located West of here at the corner of Hunter and Light Streets in 1847. This building, the second Registry Office, was constructed in 1876 and remained in use until 1952. The roof is said to be sand-filled, making the building bomb-proof.

In this way, some Norwegian architects believe that an important building in an urban environment known for its beauty should look like. I think there are slightly different opinions about it...

The Sault Canal opened in 1895- - it was the world’s first electrically operated lock, and the world’s longest lock- -274 metres / 899 feet long and 18 metres / 59 feet wide. Closed in 1987 due to a lock wall collapse, the canal was reconstructed and reopened for recreational boating use in 1998. The Sault Canal is operated as a National Historic Site by Parks Canada.
Administration Building
The Administration building was built from local Jacobsville sandstone, quarried from the canal's construction; the building was built in the Second Empire architectural style: contrasting stone working lintels, quoins, and a mansard roof.

Te present administration isn't one to admire natural beauty. If it isn't like a golf course or an exclusive resort there is "room for improvement". These "light-up statues" might be considered an asset by the Golfer-In-Chief who occasionally directs the show.

This government hub is famous for its distinct geometric architecture and the striking public art that greets visitors at the main entrance.
The Building: Completed in 1971, the building is renowned for its unique "honeycomb" facade, featuring hundreds of hexagonal windows. It is a prime example of mid-century modernist institutional design.
The Tubular Sculpture: The iron structure you described, resembling a snake biting its own tail, is a public art installation inspired by the Ouroboros. This ancient symbol represents the eternal cycle of life, renewal, and infinity.
Artistic Contrast: The flowing, tubular metal of the sculpture provides a soft, organic contrast to the rigid, heavy concrete and hexagonal patterns of the building’s exterior.
Civic Heart: Located on 4th Avenue, this site is the administrative engine of King County, situated right in the middle of Seattle's civic center near the City Hall and the Courthouse.
