Die ältesten Teile des Hölderlinhauses gehörten der mittelalterlichen Stadtbefestigung an. Vermutlich aus dem 13. Jahrhundert stammen Stadt- und Zwingermauer als nördliche und südliche Begrenzungen, sowie der Sockel eines Befestigungsturms, dessen Schießscharten heute noch zu sehen sind.

The much photographed narrow passageway that joins Abbey Green to North Parade Buildings c1750 (formerly Galloway Buildings after the Apothecary William Galloway). This alley is in the former medieval part of Bath, close to the Abbey.
Good Friday today. I was on duty again at the Landmark Centre and so was walking along the High Street first thing in the morning. It was so quiet and quite chilly as well. The wisteria is now fully out on the front of the Peg Woffington’s cottages and it feels like a step back in time if you ignore the tarmac and road markings!!
Here’s a different treatment of the same view last year...

The government of the Swiss Confederation has been based in the Bundeshaus (Parliament) in Bern since the building was completed in 1902.
Built to the plans of architect Hans Wilhelm Auer in the Neo-Renaissance style, it is home to both the National Council and the Council of States, with each of the country’s cantons represented.
Guided tours are available in many languages, allowing you to look around both of the chambers and the impressive domed hall which stands between them and beneath the copped-topped dome seen from the outside.
The parliament is fronted by the Bundesplatz, where 23 water jet fountains – one for each of the cantons – shoot up into the air from the pavement every day.
Bethnal Green Infirmary opened in 1900, built on land purchased from the London Society for Promoting Christianity amongst the Jews. It was large - designed to hold over 650 beds at the outset. It became a military hospital in the First War, when this photograph was taken. The hospital closed finally in 1990 and the older, listed, central part has been converted to flats. The card was posted with a George V stamp, it is a letter home from Violet saying she isn't sure when she can visit because she isn't sure exactly when her monthly weekend off will be.

Prima cosa che ho fatto appena finito l'esame?
Mi sono preso una Tachipirina e poi, pian piano, ho cominciato a togliere i post-it dai libri.
Ed ognuno che toglievo era una specie di rivincita.
Febbre a 38, mal di testa.
Sto male.
Ieri notte ho sognato Mies van der Rohe, ed era brutto e grasso.
28 e torno a letto, ciao.

In its heyday, Samoa, California was a company town for the lumber industry and the site of a sawmill which employed hundreds of people. Now it is the site of peeling buildings and a well known restaurant, the Samoa Cookhouse, which in addition to being the last surviving cookhouse in the west, also serving has a vast collection of photographs of the north coast lumber industry and a historical museum. The food is pretty good, too. Served family style, it is definitely fit for a lumberjack. www.samoacookhouse.net/ For more about our visit there, www.destinationtba.com/?p=336
The Fisher Building is 20-story, 275-foot-tall (84 m) neo-Gothic landmark building located at 343 South Dearborn Street in the Chicago Loop community area of Chicago. Commissioned by paper magnate Lucius Fisher, the original building was completed in 1896 by D.H. Burnham & Company with an addition later added in 1907. At the time of its completion, the building was one of two buildings in Chicago that was 18 stories tall, the other being the Masonic Building. To this day, the Fisher Building is the oldest 18 story building in Chicago that has not been demolished. The Masonic Temple, while taller and older, was demolished in 1939.

State Capitol, SLC, UT
The first capitol building of Utah was built in Filmore, but it was only used for that purpose for one year. Later the Salt Lake City Council Hall served as meeting place for the legislature. The statehood was granted to Utah in 1896.
The Salt Lake City and County Building served as the capitol building until 1916, the year when the present building was finished.
The Capitol, which is 404 feet (123 m) long, 240 feet (73 m) wide was built between 1912 and 1916. The granite of the building and the copper of the dome are both from Utah. An extensive and expansive reconstruction took place between 2004 and 2008.
In the movie Legally Blonde 2 Utah State Capitol was used for exterior and interior shots of the U.S. Capitol.
The Mark Hotel (formerly The Mark Mandarin Oriental Hotel)
25 East 77th Street (at Madison Avenue)
New York, NY
Lobby sitting area - The Mark Hotel - designed by Jacques Grange
--------------------
Originally built as a hotel, The Mark was designed in a neo-Italian Renaissance-style by architects, Schwartz and Gross. The fifteen-story structure is faced with red bricks and sits in the shadow of the Carlyle Hotel. Schwartz and Gross also designed The Fitzpatrick Manhattan Hotel and the Surrey Hotel at 20 East 76th St.
The hotel for many years was known as The Mark Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
According to a Mandarin Oriental press release dated January 2, 2006 it sold its 100% leasehold interest in The Mark, New York, for a gross consideration of US$150 million to Izak Senbahar and Simon Elias (Alexico Group). The hotel was originally acquired in 2000 as part of the US$142.5 million acquisition of The Rafael Group.
The hotel closed in 2007 and reopened in August 2009 as a hotel/co-op following a $250+ million makeover with 118 hotel rooms, and 42 co-op apartments. Prices for the co-ops range from $2 million to $60 million.
The hotels penthouse at 9,800 feet contains 5 bedrooms and 4 woodburning fireplaces and is listed for $60 million. Its living room is topped by a copper cupola, part of the original 1926 structure.
The Mark Hotel does not own the land it sits on - the annual land lease payment is $4 million.
Developer of the Mark Hotel, the Alexico Group, brought in chef Jean-George Vongerichten to run the 1st floor restaurant and designer Jacques Grange to reimagine the lobby and create 42 residences. The Alexico Group also developed the Alex Hotel at 205 East 45th Street.
The Alexico Group also operate The Laurel Hotel at 400 East 67th Street and recently bought the Flatotel Hotel on E. 51st St. with plans to turn it into another luxury property
The Real Deal reported in April 2010 that the Alexico Group has scaled back the co-op offerings from 42 units to 10 units due to a lack of demand.
Alexico had borrowed $255 million from Anglo Irish Bank for the project.
In March 2011 Dune Real Estate Partners acquired Anglo Irish Bank's $255 million mortgage loan on the Mark Hotel for $190 million. In june 2011 Dune Real Estate Partners filed to foreclose on loans granted to the Alexico Group's Mark Hotel.
The Irish Times reported the developers Simon Elias and Izak Senbahar of the Alexico Group are suing Anglo Irish Bank for $1 billion in a funding dispute over $500 million of loans that the bank gave to the men to redevelop three Manhattan hotels, the Mark, the Alex and the Flatotel.
La porte de Brandebourg (Brandenburger Tor en allemand) se situe à l'entrée ouest de l'ancien Berlin et est un symbole de la ville, mais fut pendant presque trois décennies le symbole de la division de la ville : le monument faisait partie intégrante du mur de Berlin. Elle fut érigée par Carl Gotthard Langhans (1732-1808) pour le roi de Prusse Frédéric-Guillaume II (1744-1797). Elle fut construite de 1788 à 1791 dans le style néoclassique, en s'inspirant du Propylée de l'Acropole d'Athènes. Elle fait 26 mètres de haut, 65,5 mètres de large et a une profondeur de 11 mètres. Elle comprend cinq passages et deux maisonnettes.

The Brandenburg Gate was commissioned by Friedrich Wilhelm II to represent peace. The Gate was designed by Carl Gotthard Langhans, the Court Superintendent of Buildings. Between 1788 and 1791 the prior simple guard houses siding the gate were replaced by the current construction. The Gate consists of twelve Doric columns, six to each side, forming five passageways. Citizens originally were allowed to use only the outermost two. Atop the gate is the Quadriga, a chariot drawn by four horses driven by Victoria, the Roman goddess of victory.
The Gate's design is based upon the Propylaea, the gateway to the Acropolis in Athens, Greece and is consistent with Berlin's history of architectural classicism (first, Baroque, and then neo-Palladian). The Gate was the first "Athens on the River Spree" by architect Carl Gotthard von Langhans. The capital Quadriga was sculpted by Johann Gottfried Schadow.
