The Basilica of Saint Louis, King of France, formerly the Cathedral of Saint Louis, and colloquially the Old Cathedral, was the first cathedral west of the Mississippi River and until 1845 the only parish church in the city of St. Louis, Missouri.[1] It is one of two Catholic basilicas in St. Louis, and it is named for King Louis IX of France, also the namesake for the city of St. Louis.
It is located near the historic riverfront of St. Louis, surrounded by but not a part of the Gateway Arch grounds. Because of the historical significance of the church, it was left intact while all neighboring buildings were demolished to make way for the Gateway Arch.... See Next Photo....

Cathedral of Our Lady of the Doms (Notre Dame-des-Doms-Cathedral), Avignon, France. The name of this cathedral comes from the Latin Domus episcopalo meaning "from the Bishop's house." Historians tend to believe that from the 4th century onward there was a basilica here and close to it the bishop's residence. Destroyed by the Saracens in 731, it was rebiult and consecrated on October 8, 1111. Built in the provencal romanesque style, it included only one nave originally. During the pontificate of John XXII (1316-1334), most of the inner chapels were added. The choir was rebuilt in 1670 and the steeple which had crumbled down in 1405 was rebuilt in 1425. Its largest bell weighs over 9 tons. The gilded statue of the Virgin dominating the church, made of embossed lead and weighing 4.5 tons was erected in 1859. The baroque galleries were sculpted by Pierre Peru in 1672.
696 Peachtree Street Apartments
Atlanta, Georgia

Reference Number 13000240
The 696 Peachtree Street Apartments is significant at the local level under Criterion C in the area of architecture as an excellent example of an early 1920s Georgian Revival-style apartment building designed by the architectural firm of Hentz, Reid and Adler. The firm was among the most important architectural firms of the 20th century in Atlanta. The building retains its historic Georgian Revival-style character-defining features that it had upon its completion in 1923 and retains its original use as apartments. The 696 Peachtree Street Apartments is significant at the local level under Criterion A in the area of community planning and development as a good example of an apartment building constructed in Atlanta at a time of changing residential patterns in the early 20th century. A rapid increase in the white middle-class population, rising property values, access to streetcar lines, and the rise of automobile transportation led to the construction of apartments north and east of downtown Atlanta, primarily in what is known today as the Midtown area along Peachtree Street, and east of downtown along Ponce de Leon Avenue. The period of significance is 1923, the year when the apartment building was completed.

Mining tycoon George Coleman built this theater along Route 66 in 1929 as a place for travelers to stop along their journey. The elaborately decorated arena showed movies as well as hosting music and Vaudeville acts. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Walking along the high street here I saw so many different big American trucks and cars, of course they are all from the base nearby. This church was open and is a lovely place to visit. There are some interesting wall paintings to be seen here,and there are a lot of tombs. Some of the sructure here was taken from nearby St Peter at Eriswell. I met a nice chap here who was the yoof leader (his words not mine) he was very welcoming.
A lovely area round this way, especially if you love big jets! My only problem with this area is that the churches are few and far between, I suppose thats because I am spoiled, living in Woodbridge there is a church a stones throw away in every direction!
