Land was given by Mr Ingram Shrimpton and the erection of the church commenced on St Peters Day, 29 June 1859. As the timber had to be pit-sawn and hauled from the bush close by, it was not completed until early 1860.
The Reverend Dudley (afterwards Archdeacon Dudley), one of the pilgrim clergy who was doing duty at Lyttelton, was appointed to the Parish and was instituted on the day the Church was consecrated on 25 April 1860.
The Church grew in numbers and it was recorded from a ‘minute’ book that the Church needed enlarging again. Messrs Mountfort and Luck’s offer was accepted to weatherboard the south-west side, that the aisle be made 1ft. 8in. wider, and that calico be put under the shingles. On 23 May 1864, the contract for the work was signed by Mr J Barker, the builder of the Church, the contract price being £271 and 5 shillings. This piece of work was completed in 1864.
Eleven years later, the chancel and transepts were removed and the present ones erected, the nave and the aisles, however, not being altered.
Final extensions were completed by Pollock & Thompson in 1882 which included removing the north and south aisles of the Church piecemeal, weatherboarding the nave, placing the choir in the chancel, and filling up the transepts with benches. The work completed gives the Church the appearance it now presents.
This building has a Historic Place Category II registration. It was given Landmarks status at a ceremony held on 30 March 2008.

El antiguo monasterio de san Jerónimo el Real, conocido popularmente como «Los Jerónimos», fue uno de los monasterios más importantes de Madrid, regido originariamente por la Orden de San Jerónimo. Junto a él existía el llamado Cuarto Real, luego ampliado como Palacio del Buen Retiro en tiempos de Felipe IV.
Del convento subsisten actualmente la iglesia, convertida en parroquia de san Jerónimo, y un claustro renacentista.
Iglesia y convento estuvieron estrechamente ligados a la vida de la Corte y la monarquía española. El templo fue escenario frecuente de funerales, juras de herederos, bodas y proclamaciones regias, siendo la última de éstas la del actual rey Juan Carlos I.
El claustro fue trazado por fray Lorenzo de San Nicolás, siguiendo los cánones de la arquitectura escurialense.1 Tras años de abandono durante los siglos XIX y XX, que lo habían llevado a un estado ruinoso, fue incorporado al Museo del Prado como parte de la ampliación diseñada por el arquitecto Rafael Moneo, para lo cual fue desmontado pieza a pieza y reconstruido en el mismo lugar.
English
San Jerónimo el Real (St. Jerome Royal Church) is a Roman Catholic church from the early 16th-century in central Madrid (Spain).
The church, which has undergone numerous remodelings and restorations over the centuries is the remaining structure of the Hieronymite monastery that once stood beside the royal palace of Buen Retiro, of which a portion now serves as the Prado museum. Its proximity to the royal palace also underscores a connection to royalty, serving for centuries as the church used for the investiture of the Prince of Asturias. In addition, a Mass to celebrate the investiture of King Juan Carlos I was held here. In part, this link was cemented also because Madrid only completed its Cathedral of the Almudena in 1993. For many centuries, the Church of San Isidro served as a de facto cathedral, but while this church was associated with the patron saint of Madrid, St. Isidore was also the patron of manual laborers, not royalty, thereby relegating the role of royal chapel to this church.

This 1898 building was constructed by Charles A. Moses of Chicago. He had the lowest bid among 14 other contractors. His bid was $32,243.
The building was originally designed to be used as a Federal Post Office and Custom House. The city's international tobacco business created a large volume of foreign mail.
This beautiful building now serves as a museum. Note: The gentleman sitting on the bench in the lower left of the photo is actually a bronze statue.
Soon we'll see the annual lighting meanwhile we can remember what it looks like. Signal Hill, St.John's, NL, Canada.

Rusting Building, Leadfield. Death Valley National Park, California. April 1, 2014. © Copyright 2014 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
A rusting corrugated building, one of the few remaining structures at the ghost town of Leadfield, California
This is one of the few standing structures remaining from the boom town of Leadfield, in the backcountry of Death Valley National Park, in the Grapevine Mountains more or less midway between the Beatty, Nevada area and the main Death Valley. The standard story is that this town was the result of one of the biggest swindles and scams in the mining history of the area, and the story is often told of the main promoter salting the mine with ore brought in from other locations and producing brochures featuring boats on the Amargosa River... which is typically completely dry. In the process of preparing this photograph to share I did a bit of reading, and it seems like the story might not be quite so simple nor so dramatic. Apparently there was a history of prospecting and mining in this area before the town was created in the mid-1920s, and lead and perhaps silver were actually mined from the place. A range of problems led to its downfall—the distance the ore needed to be transported, problems with the sale of shares in the mines—but it may not be true that the mine itself was essentially just a scam.
This building is well-known to those who have visited the place, as it is one of two buildings that still stand. Both are located near the entrance to one of the mine shafts, and it seems likely that this was not a residence but rather some building related to mine operations. Today it is a mere shell, but I find it amazing that it still stands nearly 90 years after the "town" (which apparently consisted largely of tents) was abandoned. Even more amazing is to stand at this spot and look out at the surrounding landscape—a rugged and uncompromising mountainous desert terrain—and imagine what it must have been like to live and work in such a place.

Strange building, now part of the little Library & Salle de Fete.
I've posted pics of this before, but it's such an odd structure, I can't resist just one more!

Georgia got into the grocery business quite by accident. She was an avid celery proponent and commissioned a sign for her backyard garden. Unfortunately, the sign maker had celebrated Saint Paddy's Day the day before he made Georgia's sign and dropped some of the letters in the sign!

I haven't added a picture of the Liver building for at least two days, so thought I'd better remedy that :)
