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.

The Nord/LB administration building was built between 1998 and 2002 and designed by the architectural firm Behnisch, Behnisch & Partner.
The 18 floors of the high-rise do not follow a strict rectangular arrangement, but are arranged in blocks and twisted against each other. With the exception of the top three floors, there are no two identical ceilings in the tower: the floors are not only partially twisted against each other, but also set back from each other. The tower is stabilized, among other things, by the adjacent parts of the building and a continuous fire shaft running to the rear. However, two steel composite supports carry the majority of the load. They are therefore 1 m thick and partly run outdoors for balance reasons. To prevent the supports from shortening in low temperatures, they must be heated in winter.
Can be view in the comments area which looks better for the size it was made for.

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.

Boeing B.707-3J6B (c/n 20715/870)
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.
In 1862, the Countess of Ripon commissioned Sir George Gilbert Scott to build this church in memory of the first Earl, her husband, on their estate at Nocton, near Lincoln. This was completed in 1863 in an elaborate Early English style in Ancaster stone, with plate tracery and a 130 foot steeple. The builder was Mr W Hudleston. Scott also designed a monument to the Earl in 1859, the effigy by Noble in 1862, executed by Farmer, to go in the completed church.
In the village, Scott designed terraces of partly three storey stone houses (for example, 18-21 Main Road) in an asymmetrical style, a lodge to Nocton Hall, and a Gothic style school. Her son, the new Marquis of Ripon, who became Lord President of the Council during Gladstone’s first administration (1868–73), would have further dealings with Scott.

Today, the Federal Railroad Administration released their proposed crew rule. In it, the FRA proposes to regulate the size of crews that must be on most freight trains, requiring that an engineer and a conductor are on the train. It also includes limited exceptions for, and a process to approve, single person operations. This rule is the result of a lot of things, but has been ironically pushed over the finish line by the "precision scheduled railroading" philosophy of "he who shall not be named." PSR has forced Class 1 railroads in a race to the bottom as they instituted leadership teams solely focused on cutting costs, on a blind and dangerous path to where we are now. But they are learning the hard way, as are many American businesses, that it is PEOPLE who make your operation run. And as they struggle to fix the self-inflicted damage, an industry which has gone largely unregulated since the Staggers Act, is facing more (and might I say necessary) scrutiny on their operations. I chose this photo, because it emphasizes the importance of the two-person crew in hard situations, such as a car taking out a crossing gate at a busy intersection in Ashland Virginia: it required signal maintainers, dispatchers, engineers, and conductors to safely coordinate the movement of Q410 (it was Q back when this was taken) through downtown Ashland. It is quite ironic that the philosophy of a man who tried to take the people out of railroading ended up being what drove the government to regulate and require them. It shows what happens when you take a philosophy too far, and become path dependent. The E. Hunter Harrison rule- a legacy to always remember.

Built in 1936 by the city of Memphis and the Works Progress Administration. The site of numerous great Memphis shows including (according to its website) “the electrifying debut of a young Elvis Presley in 1954, where his groundbreaking performance opening for headliner Slim Whitman marked what many music historians call the very first rock and roll show, leaving an indelible mark on music history. In the years since, the Shell’s stage has welcomed an array of legends including Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Furry Lewis, Booker T. & the MGs, Isaac Hayes, Lisa Marie Presley, Mavis Staples, Sid Selvidge, and many more.” Not to mention Big Star, Alex Chilton, Mudboy and the Neutrons, and Tav Falco’s Panther Burns.
The University's first administration building burned in 1903. On December 20, 1907, the University's second administration building University Hall met the same fate. The third administration building, Evans Hall, was completed in 1912 on the same site as the second.
Ironically, as University Hall was burning, the administration was being uprooted by the state's governor, Charles N. Haskell. The great pioneer president, David Ross Boyd, and seven distinguished members of his faculty were removed, and the new Board of Regents appointed Arthur Grant Evans (1858-1929) as the University's second President.
Born in Madras, India to British parents, Evans came to this country in 1883 as a missionary to Native Americans. Evans, an ordained Presbyterian minister, strong Democrat, and ardent prohibitionist, was president of Henry Kendall College (later the University of Tulsa) when chosen to serve as the University's President, taking office on July 1, 1908.
Although his administration was brief, Evans left his mark on the University by two significant accomplishments: the reorganization of the University into colleges and schools and the merger of the medical program with Epworth Medical School in Oklahoma City, which established the foundation for the University's College of Medicine.
Evans also played a substantial role in the construction of the third administration building. Following the advice of English professor Vernon Parrington, Evans pushed to have it built in a collegiate Gothic design, a style later dubbed "Cherokee Gothic" by architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Dr. Roy Gittinger advocated naming the building after Evans, stating that it was a "fitting tribute to the man who selected our campus architecture and made it an institution and tradition of the University."
Although well liked by faculty and students, Evans could not overcome the obstacles of politics. As with Boyd, a change in governorship ended his administration on May 24, 1911. Since it was not ready for use until after his departure, Evans never had the opportunity to work in the building that now bears his name. The first president to occupy it was Stratton D. Brooks who came to the University from Boston, Massachusetts where he was the respected Superintendent of the Boston Public Schools.

The Presbyterian church finishes a $1.3-million renovation. By doing so, it confirms its commitment to downtown Clearwater.
Peace Memorial Presbyterian Church, whose history spans more than 100 years in downtown Clearwater, recently completed a $1.3-million restoration project.
Work during the past 18 months included extensive remodeling of the administration wing, restoration of 65 stained-glass windows in the sanctuary, and installation of a new ceiling, sound system, and windows in the fellowship hall.
The extensive project reaffirms the historic church's ongoing commitment to a downtown ministry, the Rev. Mack Sigmon said.
Unlike other churches across the country that have either closed or moved to the suburbs, Peace Memorial has no plans to leave the spot it has been at since 1891. Several months ago, neighboring Calvary Baptist Church announced it was considering moving from downtown because it was outgrowing its property.
"Our mission is to downtown," Sigmon, 44, said during a recent interview.
The pink stucco Mediterranean Revival-style church at 110 S Fort Harrison Ave. has been an institution in downtown since 1921. But its presence has been felt throughout North Pinellas because the church was instrumental in the planting of new churches there.
Peace Memorial belongs to the Presbytery of Tampa Bay, which oversees 79 churches and 30,000 members in seven counties. "Downtown areas need the presence of the Gospel," said executive presbyter Gerry Tyer. "We have an example of that in Clearwater."
Ford Reagan, 41, has been a member of Peace Memorial since 1984. "Churches are the cornerstone of downtown America," he said. "We've survived 107 years and we're going to keep going. The restoration project is a good link to our future."
Though some work was done in the sanctuary, the bulk of the project focused on the two-story administration wing, which was built in 1921. Problems included water damage, a dangerous electrical system, inadequate restrooms, an inefficient work area, and a bad location for the nursery.
The solution: gut and rebuild the entire 6,500-square-foot wing.
Today, the new floor plan includes walls that match the color of the church's pink exterior; a new nursery that awaits babies and children; and a new elevator that carries parishioners from floor to floor. Additional improvements include a new reception area, parlor, library, and offices.
The church's 5,000-square-foot fellowship hall, named Roebling Hall after philanthropist and former member Donald Roebling, also received a facelift. Workers installed a new ceiling, lighting and sound system, and windows. They also refurbished the room's original wood floor, which was once the town's skating rink.
"Up until we did the floor, kids would still come in and skate on it, and the church allowed it," Sigmon said. "Now they don't."
Inside the sanctuary, workers restored dozens of stained-glass windows, which are described as the largest collection of stained glass in the Tampa Bay area. Workers also refurbished the wooden pews, repaired the pipe organ, installed a new sound system, and painted the interior walls.
All of these physical improvements are evidence of the congregation's feelings about downtown, Sigmon says. "Here to stay _ Here to serve" is the theme of the stewardship campaign for the church's operating budget for 2000. Also, the restoration project is being funded entirely by pledges from parishioners.
"The downtown would be such a lesser place without a Peace Memorial," said Sigmon, who has been pastor there since 1994.
Sigmon cites the church's concert series, nursery school, and Child Development Center. The CDC, which opened 30 years ago, is a government-funded daycare program that serves low-income families. Other ministries sponsor refugees and missionaries.
Additionally, the Rev. Ann Marie Quigley-Swanson, associate minister of the church, oversees Peace Memorial's Christian education classes for preschoolers to seniors.
In 1891, a group of 17 people founded the church and called it Clearwater Presbyterian Church. It was renamed First Presbyterian Church of Clearwater and was known around town as the "little white church," according to church literature.
Dr. David Arthur Dunseith became the pastor in 1918. Under his leadership, the current pink stucco church was built, and in 1924 its name was changed to Peace Memorial Presbyterian Church.
At one time, the church had 1,500 members. Today, it serves a diverse flock of 650. "We have millionaires and we have people who don't know how they're going to get through the week," Sigmon said.
Increasing membership is desirable, he said, but it is not his main goal. Instead, he focuses on increasing the spiritual life of the people already worshiping at the church, whether it be 50 or 1,500.
This renovation may bring in people, but if it doesn't that's okay," Sigmon said. "Primarily, it's been done to enhance the lives of those who are here."
"I think it was wonderful," said Iris Stewart, a member of Peace Memorial since 1959. "We really needed it. There's something special about Peace Memorial.
