The Feathers Hotel, The Bullring, Ludlow, Shropshire is an historic inn. Its imposing half-timbered frontage was constructed in 1619, over an earlier core, for a local lawyer, Rees Jones. John Newman describes the hotel as a "prodigy" of Tudor architecture and it is noted for its Jacobean furnishings.
L'histoire de cet hôtel remonte au 18ème siècle, lorsque les carrosses et les calèches s’arrêtaient devant l'Hôtel Saint-Jean, qui servait alors notamment aux escapades amoureuses d’Arthur Rimbaud et de Paul Verlaine (sic!!!) …
Le bâtiment est aujourd'hui l'un des plus anciens de la ville de Bruxelles, classé au Patrimoine de la ville, et plus particulièrement l'un des hôtels les plus anciens encore en activité.
Derrière la façade de néon imaginée par Fernand Flauch, cet hôtel est un magnifique bâtiment art-déco, offrant 101 chambres et suites, toutes entièrement rénovées fin 2011.

The Ellis Island Immigrant Station was designed by architects Tilton and Boring. They received a gold medal at the 1900 Paris Exposition for the building's design.
The church plans were established in an architectural competition in April 1854. The architect was Heinrich von Ferstel (1828–1883), who, at the time, was only 26. He chose to build the cathedral in the neo-Gothic style, borrowing heavily from the architecture of Gothic French cathedrals. Because of this concept, many people mistake this church for an original Gothic church. However, the Votivkirche has not become a servile imitation of a French Gothic cathedral, but shows a new and individual concept. Furthermore it was built by one single architect, supervising the whole construction, and not by several generations, as the cathedrals in the Middle Ages.
Construction began in 1856, and it was dedicated 26 years later on April 24, 1879, the occasion of the silver jubilee of the royal couple.
The church was one of the first buildings to be built on the Ringstraße. Since the city-walls still existed at that point, the church had no natural parishioners. At that time it was meant as a garrison church, serving the many soldiers that had come to Vienna in the wake of 1848 revolution. The church is not located directly on the boulevard but along a broad square (the Sigmund Freud park) in front of it. The Votivkirche is made out of white sandstone, similar to the Stephansdom, and therefore has to be constantly renovated and protected from air-pollution and acid rain, which tends to colour and erode the soft stone.
The church has undergone extensive renovations after being badly damaged during World War II.
Since its architectural style is quite similar to the Stephansdom, it often gets mistaken for it by tourists. In reality more than 700 years lie between the two churches.
The design of this church has been closely imitated in the Gedächtniskirche in Speyer, Germany and the Sint-Petrus-en-Pauluskerk in Oostende, Belgium.

Taken in August 2014. There are three churches of different Christian faiths around the gate and this shrine above it which is a site for religious pilgrimage (the sacred miraculous painting of the Virgin Mary which adorns the gate can be seen and it is customary to make the sign of the cross when passing through). A difficult subject because of its position and I have done my best with it.

While walking around the city of St. Augustine, FL., I found this Baptist Church a few blocks from the historic area. I loved the architecture and style of the building. It reminded me of an old school house. Finished in LRCC and On1...

Visitors aren't allowed to photograph inside the Louis Armstrong Museum. However, they do allow you to take photos outside the house and in the garden. If you're in NYC, the Louis Armstrong House Museum is a "must see" destination.

« Saint-François-Xavier-des-Missions-Étrangères » existe en tant que paroisse depuis 1842. Avant la construction de l'église, son lieu de culte était l'actuelle la chapelle des missions étrangères de Paris située rue du Bac.
Les travaux ont commencé en 1861. L'architecte fut Adrien-Louis Lusson jusqu'à sa mort en 1864, puis Toussaint Uchard. Les pierres aux grains fins et serrés utilisées dans la construction proviennent des carrières souterraines de Bagneux1.
L'église fut achevée en 1873 (à l'exception de sa décoration intérieure), ouverte au culte en 1874 et consacrée le 23 mai 1894.
