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.

Coit Tower is a 210-foot (64 m) tower in the Telegraph Hill neighborhood of San Francisco, California, offering panoramic views over the city and the bay. The tower, in the city's Pioneer Park, was built between 1932 and 1933 using Lillie Hitchcock Coit's bequest to beautify the city of San Francisco.
The art deco tower, built of unpainted reinforced concrete, was designed by architects Arthur Brown, Jr. and Henry Howard. The interior features fresco murals in the American Social Realism style, painted by 25 different onsite artists and their numerous assistants, plus two additional paintings installed after creation offsite.

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 1957

View of the former administration building slated for future restoration.
Located in St. George, Staten Island, NY, on the former site of the U.S. Lighthouse Services Depot.
The depot was the national headquarters, test ground, and distribution center for all material and equipment used by lightkeepers and U.S. national lighthouse personnel from 1864 to 1939.
Originally, the site contained 18 buildings. Today, only six remain: the museum, workshops, and administration building. The site is adjacent to the Staten Island Ferry entrance on Richmond Terrace, and Bay St., opposite Borough Hall.

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.
Large powerstation in the UK.

The Zollern colliery in Dortmund is one of the most beautiful testimonies to Germany's industrial past. An icon of industrial culture made of steel and glass is the machine hall with the stained-glass Art Nouveau portal.

The Domènech i Montaner Hall is a ceremonial space in the Administration Pavilion of the Hospital de Sant Pau, Barcelona, Spain.
It blends architectural grandeur with artistic detail — vaulted ceilings, vibrant mosaics, and sculptural flourishes — reflecting the hospital’s original mission: to heal in beauty and dignity.
Once the administrative heart of the hospital complex, it now serves as a tribute to the visionary spirit behind one of Europe’s most beautiful medical institutions.

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...

CAAC (Civil Aviation Administration of China)
Zürich-Kloten (ZRH/LSZH)
27 July 1978
The Civil Aviation Administration of China, or better known as CAAC, was formed in 1949 as the national carrier of the newly-founded People's Republic of China. Initially using mostly Soviet aircraft, a total of 20 new Boeing 707s were acquired between 1973 and 1983, mainly to replace the Soviet-built Ilyushin IL-62s on long range services, and becoming some of the first Western aircraft imported into China.
B-2404 was built and delivered in 1973, and was captured on finals to runway 14 on CAAC's then weekly Peking to Zürich service. Peking was named Beijing in pinyin languagae since at least 1403, but in 1979 China began actively using pinyin, changing the names of cities from how they were spelled in English and other languages.
When CAAC was split up into six new carriers in 1988, it was Air China which was formed to take over CAAC's international routes, and subsequently most of the Boeing 707s were transferred to Air China. B-2404 was eventually etired in 1995, and sold to the Angolan Government as D2-TPR. It was reported as withdrawn from use and stored at Luanda in 2007. It's further fate, however, is unknown.

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.

Excerpt from chur.graubuenden.ch:
Large and grey, yet friendly - that sums up the building constructed by St. Moritz architect Nicolaus Hartmann between 1907 und 1910. While its grey, starkly structured façades give the building a majestic appearance, thanks to its large forecourt it is not overpowering. The architecture is an expression of the so-called "Bündner Heimatstil", a movement that took up and developed the traditional style of building of the region. The prestigious yet agreeable administration building is regarded as one of the movement's most significant works.
our school administration is making sure that there will be no distribution of Coca-cola in our school by the student council. so now that the student store is not allowed to sell coke, wtf are we going to sell? Cade, a sweet and sugary carbonated non-alcohol cocktail drink. kinda beats the point to not allowing us sell coke now does it.
it's funny how the school teaches us the fundamentals of capitalism in World Economics and how bias the textbooks are, but our very school limits our marketing options.
so much for free trade.
España - Barcelona - Parque Güell - Pabellón de Administración

ENGLISH:
The Park Güell is a public park system composed of gardens and architectonic elements located on Carmel Hill, in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Carmel Hill belongs to the mountain range of Collserola – the Parc del Carmel is located on the northern face. Park Güell is located in La Salut, a neighborhood in the Gràcia district of Barcelona. With urbanization in mind, Eusebi Güell assigned the design of the park to Antoni Gaudí, a renowned architect and the face of Catalan modernism.
The park was originally part of a commercially unsuccessful housing site, the idea of Count Eusebi Güell, after whom the park was named. It was inspired by the English garden city movement; hence the original English name Park (in Catalan the name is "Parc Güell"). The site was a rocky hill with little vegetation and few trees, called Muntanya Pelada (Bare Mountain). It already included a large country house called Larrard House or Muntaner de Dalt House and was next to a neighbourhood of upper-class houses called La Salut (The Health). The intention was to exploit the fresh air (well away from smoky factories) and beautiful views from the site, with sixty triangular lots being provided for luxury houses. Count Eusebi Güell added to the prestige of the development by moving in 1906 to live in Larrard House. Ultimately, only two houses were built, neither designed by Gaudí. One was intended to be a show house, but on being completed in 1904 was put up for sale, and as no buyers came forward, Gaudí, at Güell's suggestion, bought it with his savings and moved in with his family and his father in 1906. This house, where Gaudí lived from 1906 to 1926, was built by Francesc Berenguer in 1904. It contains original works by Gaudí and several of his collaborators. It is now the Gaudi House Museum (Casa Museu Gaudí) since 1963. In 1969 it was declared a historical artistic monument of national interest.

ESPAÑOL:
El parque Güell es un parque público con jardines y elementos arquitectónicos situado en la parte superior de la ciudad de Barcelona (España). Se halla en la vertiente meridional del monte Carmelo, que pertenece a las estribaciones de la sierra de Collserola; en la cara septentrional se halla el parque del Carmelo. Administrativamente pertenece al barrio de La Salud, en el distrito de Gracia. Ideado como urbanización, fue diseñado por el arquitecto Antoni Gaudí, máximo exponente del modernismo catalán, por encargo del empresario Eusebi Güell. Construido entre 1900 y 1914, fue inaugurado como parque público en 1926.
El parque Güell es un reflejo de la plenitud artística de Gaudí: pertenece a su etapa naturalista (primera década del siglo xx), período en que el arquitecto perfeccionó su estilo personal, a través de la inspiración en las formas orgánicas de la naturaleza, para lo que puso en práctica toda una serie de nuevas soluciones estructurales originadas en sus profundos análisis de la geometría reglada. A ello añade el artista catalán una gran libertad creativa y una imaginativa creación ornamental: partiendo de cierto barroquismo sus obras adquieren gran riqueza estructural, de formas y volúmenes desprovistos de rigidez racionalista o de cualquier premisa clásica. En el parque Güell desplegó Gaudí todo su genio arquitectónico y puso en práctica muchas de sus innovadoras soluciones estructurales que serían emblemáticas de su estilo organicista y que culminarían en la Sagrada Familia.
El parque fue concebido por Güell y Gaudí como un conjunto estructurado donde, dentro de un incomparable marco de belleza natural, se situarían unas viviendas de alto standing, con todos los adelantos tecnológicos de la época para procurar el máximo confort y con unos acabados de gran calidad artística. Asimismo, idearon un conjunto impregnado de un fuerte simbolismo, ya que procuraron sintetizar en los elementos comunes del parque muchos de los ideales tanto políticos como religiosos que compartían mecenas y arquitecto.
El pabellón de administración tiene una altura de 29 m y planta de 12,60 x 6,60 m. Tiene dos plantas: en la inferior había una gran sala cuadrada que ahora está dividida en dos habitaciones, más otras dos estancias de forma absidal; de aquí parte una escalera curvilínea en cuyo tramo medio se encuentran los aseos en entreplanta; en el segundo piso hay una sala equivalente a la inferior, flanqueada de dos terrazas almenadas, con un remate de cúpula en forma de hongo, como el edificio anterior. Destaca en este edificio la torre situada en un lateral, de forma hiperboloidal y revestida de trencadís en ajedrezado blanco y azul. Está coronada por la típica cruz gaudiniana de cuatro brazos, que señala los cuatro puntos cardinales. De 3,8 m de altura, esta cruz fue destruida en 1936 y reconstruida con posterioridad a la Guerra Civil. En 1952 fue restaurada a causa de unas grietas, a cargo del arquitecto Adolf Florensa. Este edificio tiene también unos medallones con las palabras Park Güell. En la actualidad se dedica a librería y tienda de souvenirs.

Im Jahr 1935 wurde in einem Waldgebiet mit dem Bau der Luftmunitionsanstalt begonnen und es entstanden anfangs ein Gleisanschluss und Zuwegungen. Man errichtete 60 Bunker für fertiggestellte Munition und 12 für Zünder, weitere Bunker entstanden später. Ein Jahr später wurden Betriebs- und Verwaltungsgebäude auf dem Gelände errichtet.
Vor Beginn des zweiten Weltkrieges waren rund 40 Arbeiter und eine ähnliche Anzahl an Soldaten in der Anlage beschäftigt, im Verlauf des Krieges stieg die Zahl der Beschäftigten auf bis zu 500. Zusätzlich existierte auf dem Gelände ein aus rund 150 sowjetischen Kriegsgefangenen bestehendes Arbeitskommando.
Die Hauptaufgabe der Luftmunitionsanstalt war die Bezünderung und Lagerung von Bomben. Es wurden 2 kg-Brandbomben, 10 kg-Splitterbomben und 50, 250 und 500 kg-Sprengbomben verarbeitet. Zusätzlich ist Flak-Munition in den Kalibern 2; 7,5; 8,8 und 10,5 cm eingelagert worden.
Am Kriegsende erging der Befehl zur Zerstörung der Luftmunitionsanstalt. Da sich die Feuerwerker gegen diesen Befehl wehrten und nur kleine Teile der Munition sprengten, kam es nicht zu Zerstörungen an Einrichtungen. Am 11. April 1945 besetzte die British Army die Anstalt ohne Gegenwehr.
