Hohenzollern Castle is the ancestral seat of the imperial House of Hohenzollern near Hechingen, in the Southwest of Germany.
The first fortress on the mountain was constructed in the early 11th century. Over the years the House of Hohenzollern split several times, but the castle remained in the Swabian branch, the dynastic seniors of the Franconian-Brandenburgian cadet branch that later acquired its own imperial throne. This castle was completely destroyed in 1423 after a ten-month siege by the free imperial cities of Swabia. A larger and sturdier structure was constructed from 1454 to 1461, which served as a refuge for the Catholic Swabian Hohenzollerns, including during the Thirty Years' War. By the end of the 18th century it was thought to have lost its strategic importance and gradually fell into disrepair, leading to the demolition of several dilapidated buildings.
The final castle was built between 1846 and 1867 as a family memorial by Hohenzollern King Frederick William IV of Prussia. Architect Friedrich August Stüler based his design on English Gothic Revival architecture and the Châteaux of the Loire Valley.
Among the historical artifacts of Prussian history contained in the castle are the Crown of Wilhelm II, some of the personal effects of King Frederick the Great, and a letter from US President George Washington thanking Hohenzollern descendant Baron von Steuben for his service in the American Revolutionary War.

The brick building from 1904 was built for charity activities.
Altamont, 10 stories of massive brick and limestone, overwhelmed its predecessors. The $1 million structure was part of a two-decade trend of spectacular hotels that opened throughout the region, including Wilkes-Barre’s Hotel Sterling (1898), Scranton’s Hotel Casey (1909), Tamaqua’s Majestic Hotel (1924) and Pottsville’s Necho Allen (1927). In terms of elegance and accessibility, the Altamont beat its downtown competitors, located just over a block from the Lehigh Valley Railroad Station and along a highway that ended at Philadelphia’s footsteps.
The Altamont was a tribute to Thomas’ modern convictions. The shining red edifice commanded its street corner, confidently standing above church steeples and Victorian storefronts. Guests could access the hotel at its formal entrance on Broad Street or its arguably more expansive opening on North Church Street. Iron marquees extended over the building’s sidewalks, protecting guests from Hazleton’s typically unpredictable weather.

The red brick Gooderham Building (commonly referred to as the Flatiron Building) at 49 Wellington Street East in Toronto, Ontario, Canada is located on the eastern edge of the city's financial district (east of Yonge Street), on the north side of the Front Street (St. Lawrence) neighbourhood wedged between Front Street and Wellington Street, where they join up to form a triangular intersection. Although a prominent landmark both for its colour and shape, it is only five storeys high. It is also the first flatiron building in a major city.
It was built in 1892 by architect David Roberts, Jr. and originally cost $18,000 to construct for distiller George Gooderham, son of the founder William Gooderham. It was the office of the Gooderham & Worts distillery until 1952 and sold by the Gooderham Estate in 1957.
It is well-known both for its narrow wedge shape, and for the mural on its back wall, which uses a trompe l'oeil effect to not only make the wall appear to have more windows than it does, but to also give it a more mobile effect by having its edges 'fluttering' away where they are not 'tacked' down. The mural, called Trompe.d'oille, was created by renowned Canadian artist Derek Michael Besant. The mural is a picture of the Perkins Building, which is located directly across the street. Saved by David and Thomas Walsh, restoration took place in 1998 by the owners Michael and Anne Tippin. The building was declared a historic site in 1975.
