The Pleasant Street Wesleyan Methodist Church, built in Ballarat's Pleasant Street, was completed in 1867 for the princely sum of £1700.00 The price and the Methodist Church's grandeur shows how the Wesleyan Methodist congregation had grown in both size and wealth as Ballarat's gold rush grew.
The Pleasant Street Wesleyan Methodist Church was designed by local architect J. A. Doane and has been built in Victorian Academic Gothic style. Built of red brick with a tiled roof, the church has clear architectural elements associated with the Gothic style including flying buttresses that define structural bays, a steeply pitched roof, a parapeted gable and narrow windows. It is an almost exact replica of the second Wesleyan Methodist Church, built in Neil Street in the Ballarat suburb of Soldier's Hill, and incidentally was also completed in 1867. In 1886, additions for choir purposes were made to the church, after designs by prolific Ballarat architect Charles Douglas Figgis, who also designed the adjoining Victorian Romanesque Sunday School.
Gothic architecture was perceived by the pious Victorians as an expression of religious, and therefore, moral values. Its revival was thus seen as virtuous and equated with moral revival. For this reason an ecclesiastical character was predominant.
Charles Douglas Figgis (1849 - 1895) also designed the Ballarat Presbyterian church, the former Ballarat Congregational Church, the former Ballarat Mining Exchange and the Geelong Club amongst many other buildings during his short life.

The Louis G. Redstone Residential Historic District is comprised of three houses located in the Greenwich Park neighborhood in northwest Detroit along with the perimeter brick wall that encloses their common rear yards, an outdoor cook stove incorporated into the wall and a small wading pool decorated with stylized snail sculptures by artist Samuel Cashwan. The district is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C at the state level as an associated group of International Style residences designed by architect, author and artist, Louis G. Redstone . Constructed in 1940, the houses were designed by Redstone for himself, his brother Solomon -Sol- Redstone, and his business partner, architect Henry J . Abrams. The designs appear in Redstone's personal project book as job numbers 279, 280 and 281 . The houses were designed in the early phases of Redstone's career a few years after he established an architectural practice with Abrams, a fellow graduate of the University of Michigan's architectural program. The Redstone Houses possess significance in the category of Architecture as a collection of architect-designed houses exhibiting the fundamental characteristics of the International Style including their simple geometric form and proportions, lack of ornament, low-sloped hip roofs , corner windows, use of textured glass block, curved bays and open and free-flowing floor plans. Further, the design of these residences is distinctive for its use of reclaimed common red brick for the exterior instead of the more characteristic smooth white stucco walls that are a common feature of International Style buildings. The site planning of the houses is also unusual and distinctive in that four parcels were purchased to accommodate the three residences and the houses share a common interconnected backyard enclosed by a perimeter brick wall. Redstone's adoption of the International Style , the planning of the site and the aesthetic character of his designs can be directly attributed to his experiences working as a -Pioneer'' and later as an architect engaged in the building programs of the 1920s and 1930s initiated to accommodate Jewish settlement of Palestine.
The Louis G. Redstone Residential Historic District was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on February 24, 2014.

The station at Bingham was built in 1850 (designed by TC Hine) when the Ambergate, Nottingham, Boston and Eastern Junction Railway opened a line from Grantham to Nottingham.
This district is not exactly an official Montreal’s district, being part of arrondissement Plateau Mont-Royal. This is the reason why Mile-End does not have clear limits. Let’s say that the Mile-End is bordered to the north by Jeanne-Mance park, Van-Horn to the South, Hutchison and Saint Dominique at the eastern limit. Being a trendy district, many people are deciding by themselves that, Mile-End east limit is Saint-Denis, including the industrial area over Saint-Lawrence.

History of Mile-End district
The existence of Saint-Louis of the Mile-End village started in 1878 by getting separated from village Côte Saint-Louis (North part of plateau Mont-royal). Saint-Louis of the Mile-End became the city of Saint-Louis 1895.
The name « Mile-End » have not a clear origin an many different historical explanations exists. The most known would be that this name came from the time this cosy village was located at one mile from Montreal city limits. We can see this name on maps printed in 1859.
The small town of Saint-Louis have experience a big expansion in the end of 20th century when Canadian Pacific Railroad built a railway near the town causing many industries to came around and settle in. In that time, Saint-Louis limits where up to Saint-Zotique Street to the north (area now part of Little Italy).
Seen when I went out for a very long walk, got lost, but found some wonderful boat shots to take.
There are still some more photos of our boat trip to come, but I'm giving them a day off today.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
This historic church in downtown Frederick was one of the first of a denomination known as the United Brethren in Christ. This denomination had been founded in 1800 in Rocky Ridge, about 15 miles north of Frederick. The congregation started worshiping in Kemp Hall on the corner of Church and Market Street, and in 1883 built their first church on Third Street. It was known as Otterbein Chapel, named for the founder and first bishop of the United Brethren in Christ, Philip William Otterbein. The congregation continued to grow and when a lot on West Second Street came up for sale in 1900, the congregation began building a larger church. This building was completed in 1901. It was then given the name "Centennial Memorial" to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the United Brethren in Christ. The church is a gothic revival building with unique ceiling rafters and intricate stained glass. Three of the most beautiful windows are found in the apse above the altar. The largest window is the memorial window, which is found in the front wall of the church. At its top is a depiction of Bishop Otterbein and his famous quote "We Are Brethren" The church became United Methodist in 1968, following the merger of the United Brethren and the Methodist Churches. The sanctuary also features a 1975 Moller Pipe Organ. Information drawn from "Houses of Worship in Frederick Maryland" by Herb Wolf III.

The Pantheon is a former Roman temple, now a church, in Rome, Italy, on the site of an earlier temple commissioned by Marcus Agrippa during the reign of Augustus (27 BC – 14 AD). The present building was completed by the emperor Hadrian and probably dedicated about 126 AD.
The building is circular with a portico of large granite Corinthian columns (eight in the first rank and two groups of four behind) under a pediment. A rectangular vestibule links the porch to the rotunda, which is under a coffered concrete dome, with a central opening (oculus) to the sky. Almost two thousand years after it was built, the Pantheon's dome is still the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome. The height to the oculus and the diameter of the interior circle are the same, 142 feet.
It is one of the best-preserved of all Ancient Roman buildings, in large part because it has been in continuous use throughout its history, Since the 7th century, the Pantheon has been used as a church dedicated to "St. Mary and the Martyrs" but informally known as "Santa Maria Rotonda". The square in front of the Pantheon is called Piazza della Rotonda. The Pantheon is a state property, ruled by Italy's Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism, It is visited by over 6 million people annually.
Note the military presence.
