Gone is the ferry terminal, and in place is the current One on the bund restaurant. Stepping inside the restaurant, it feels like you’ve been transported to a giant museum with high ceilings and exquisite adornments. It has retained the old architecture and added an oriental yet contemporary vibe.

Åttakantiga torget Leipziger Platz revs i sin helhet efter delningen av Berlin, eftersom platsen hamnade mitt i ingenmansland. Idag är platsens södra sida helt återuppbyggd, om än i modern arkitektur, medan en del av norra sidan återstår att uppföra.
The old Palace of the Arts building in Exhibition Park in Newcastle upon Tyne, was once part of a much larger collection of buildings for the North East Coast Exhibition which was a worlds fair held in 1929.
Built as the Fuller Building in 1902. The design of the 22-story building came from the triangular shaped lot. Referred to as the 'Flatiron Building' because of its resemblance to the old cast iron clothes iron.
Designed by David Burnham of Chicago. The 'Chicago School' influence can be seen by the building's classic Greek column facade which is divided into a base, shaft and capital.

I was so surprised to see this gem in Farmington, NM, and am so glad that no one defaced or covered these swastikas, which were signs of good luck in many cultures long before Hitler usurped the sign for his evil purposes.
As for the building, all I could find out about it is that it was once a hotel and now houses several small businesses.
The Flatiron Building, originally the Fuller Building, is located at 175 Fifth Avenue in the borough of Manhattan, New York City, and is considered to be a groundbreaking skyscraper. Upon completion in 1902, it was one of the tallest buildings in the city and one of only two skyscrapers north of 14th Street – the other being the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower, one block east. The building sits on a triangular island-block formed by Fifth Avenue, Broadway and East 22nd Street, with 23rd Street grazing the triangle's northern (uptown) peak. As with numerous other wedge-shaped buildings, the name "Flatiron" derives from its resemblance to a cast-iron clothes iron.
The building, which has been called "One of the world's most iconic skyscrapers, and a quintessential symbol of New York City",[4] anchors the south (downtown) end of Madison Square and the north (uptown) end of the Ladies' Mile Historic District. The neighborhood around it is called the Flatiron District after its signature building, which has become an icon of New York City.[5] The building was designated a New York City landmark in 1966,[6] was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979,[7] and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1989.[8][9]熨斗大廈經常在電視廣告和記錄片裡出現，為紐約市早期著名的地標[3]。此大廈出現在《晚間秀》的節目開場影片，以及《蜘蛛人》系列電影裡的Daily Bugle大廈，是個熱門的旅遊景點，1989年成為美國國家歷史性地標之一[4][5][6]。然而，此大廈也是一個功能性強的辦公大樓，目前即將被德國的一家大型出版社接手設為總部[7]。
