Thomas Chapel United Methodist Church is near Cartersville, Cumberland County, Virginia. I was unable to locate anything at all on this building. It is brick and in common bond, obviously having undergone repairs as shown by the “scars” on the front façade. The stone plaque in the center of the front gable gives the name as Thomas Chapel Church and the date as 1847. It’s a basic front gable rectangular structure with a pedimented gable. Two small chimneys jut above the roof, suggesting they may have been later additions. There are two entrances (I assume one for men and one for women), each double-leaf wood—and they do not look especially old or aged. Three large 12/12 windows are visible on the left façade. There were no visible stained glass windows. An ornamented metal crucifix adorns the center between the two entrances. To the left rear is a modern addition. Though historically old, the church’s architectural integrity has probably been compromised and is thus probably ineligible for listing on the National Register.

While the sanctuary of St. Mary's is exquisite in its colorful appointments, stripping the color away really brings out the structural elements, angles, symmetry and beauty. Three shot HDR using Photomatix Pro, and finished out in Lightroom.
This served as the Marion County courthouse from 1820-1859 in Pikeville. The courthouse moved to Hamilton in 1882. To the right of this home is the old Terrell family cemetery. Pikeville(and Hamilton) were located on Jackson's Military Road, from Nashville to New Orleans.
The original courthouse structure was composed of 2 rooms downstairs that housed county offices and one large upstairs room that served as the court room. The 2nd story balcony and the 4 full lenght columns were added sometime prior to WWII, possibly around 1900 when some of the additions to the rear of the courthouse were made. Supposedly, 4 of the original 1820s porch posts are still located within the columns. Prior to the balcony, a slanted roof was between the 2 levels of windows.

Digitised image from the Town Hall Photographer's Collection - GB127.M850.
The Town Hall Photographer’s Collection is a large photographic collection held in Manchester City Council’s Central Library archives, ranging in date from 1956 to 2007.
The collection consists of tens of thousands of images, covering the varied areas of work of Manchester Corporation and latterly, Manchester City Council.
The photographs were taken by staff photographers, who were tasked to document the work of Corporation/Council departments and, in doing so, captured many aspects of Manchester life and history, including significant changes to the Manchester landscape.
The collection includes many different formats from glass negatives, to slides, prints, CDs and even a couple of cine films.
What is especially exciting is that the majority of these images have never before been available in a digital format and therefore have only ever been seen by a handful of people.
A team of dedicated Staff and Volunteers are currently working on the systematic digitisation of the negatives held within the collection.
This album represents the result of their work to date.
Burford Priory and the Lenthall Chapel
On Saturday Lawrence and I went west from Oxford to the historic Cotswold town of Burford.
One feature of the main house (Priory) are two very finely carved giants possibly representing Hercules and Antaeus. They would have supported the Tanfield arms, now replaced by the Lenthall arms. The hairy giant Anaeus has a hare between his feet, possibly a play on the name Harman.
If you wish to know or read more about the Priory and its history may I suggest you get the helpful guide ISBN 1 85943 140 2 Enquiries should be sent to “The History House” in Burford
Ihre Fassaden sind aus Glas oder aus Beton, sie sind mal schmal, mal rund, mal spitz, mal mit und mal ohne Antenne. Frankfurt haben sie den Beinamen Mainhattan eingebracht. Noch in den fünfziger Jahren war der Kaiserdom mit seinen 96 Metern das höchste Gebäude der Stadt. Heute reckt sich der Commerzbankturm samt Antenne mit fast 300 Metern in die Höhe. Insgesamt überragen rund hundert Hochhäuser die Stadt, meist Bank- oder Bürogebäude.
Aber das Motto der mächtigen Bauherren in der Finanzmetropole lautet inzwischen nicht nur immer höher, sondern auch: immer schöner. Schwer zu sagen, wer in der Konkurrenz die Nase vorn hat: der von Helmut Jahn gestaltete Messeturm, das rötlich schimmernde Japan-Center oder der in Rautenoptik wie ein Apfelweinglas gestaltete Westhafen Tower? In der Beliebtheitsskala der Frankfurter ganz oben steht der Maintower. Denn mit ihm gab es eine Premiere im Frankfurter Hochhausbau: Der im Jahr 2000 fertig gestellte Turm wurde mit einer Aussichtsterrasse im 56. Stock für Besucher geöffnet; der blitzschnelle Aufzug bringt sie auch zum Drink oder Abendessen in die Höhe.
Nachdem die Mainstadt sich bereits eine in Europa einmalige Skyline gebaut hat, wurde die Innenstadt selbst aus dem 20. in das 21. Jahrhundert katapultiert. Mitten im Herzen der City, an Hauptwache und Zeil, ist das "PalaisQuartier" entstanden: an einer der umsatzstärksten Einkaufsmeilen Deutschlands ist - neben zwei Hochhäusern mit einer Höhe von 120 Meter und 90 Metern für ein Hotel und Büros - das Einkaufszentrum "MyZeil" ein großer Publikumsmagnet. Das abgerissene Thurn und Taxis Palais wurde nach historischem Vorbild wieder errichtet und bietet weiteren Geschäften, Büros und Versammlungsräumen Platz.

Hillmorton's Roman Catholic church of the English Martyrs was built in 1965 (architects Sandy & Norris) with a square core surmounted by an expanse if coloured glass on all four sides forming a lantern, and capped by a concrete vaulted ceiling. Below it was envisaged that four limbs would sprout from this nucleus to form a cross, though in the event only one was built to the north, which served as the nave until the church was re-orientated in the early 1980s when a new sanctuary extension was added to the east.(the old nave being walled off and serving as the church hall ever since). The remaining two temporary walls below the vast windows were finished in brick only in 1990.
The major artistic feature of the building is the enormous expanse of stained glass by noted Welsh artist Jonah Jones, executed in the dalle de verre ('slab of glass') technique popular in the 1950s & 60s, with heavy chunks of glass set in a resin matrix (in place of traditional lead, which would be insufficient to hold such thick pieces of glass). The design of the four windows is abstract, though each incorporates a subtle crown of thorns motif in red glass.
However, times have changed and the dalle de verre technique has not stood the test of time well. Though the east and north windows remain in sound condition those on the south and particularly the west have suffered from the effects of heat expansion which has caused several of the glass pieces to detach from their resin matrix, whilst in the worst cases the resin structure itself is failing, in places cracked and bowing dangerously. Finding a remedy to these problems seems to be frought with difficulties and curently the future of these windows (the largest work ever undertaken by the artist Jonah Jones) hangs in the balance.
Personally I hope they can be saved, admittedly I have an emotional attachment having grown up here, but I also consider them a rare period piece, a bold expression of the kind of optimism and vision that gave us Coventry Cathedral (a mere 12 miles away) and Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral, both of which are accepted as iconic statements of their time, despite the general unpopularity of the architecture of the time.
Any information on how to proceed with saving these precarious artworks will be most gratefully recieved.

Orahood House, located at 2903 Champa Street, in the Five Points neighborhood (Curtis Park) of Denver, Colorado. Harper M. Orahood, a prominent attorney, had this house built in 1882. The structure is an Italianate villa-style, red brick, two-story residence with a wrap around porch. The truncated and hipped roofs of the house and the porch have matching elaborately bracketed cornices. At one time the house had a brick tower in the front right corner. The residence is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing resource to the Curtis Park-Champa Street Historic District.

Abbotsford is the house built and lived in by Sir Walter Scott, the 19th century novelist, and author of timeless classics such as Waverley, Rob Roy, Ivanhoe and The Lady of the Lake. In 1811 Sir Walter bought the property which was to become Abbotsford, set in the heart of the Scottish Borders, on the banks of the River Tweed. The building of Abbotsford took six years, and was completed in 1824. William Atkinson was the chosen architect, and George Bulloch gave his advice on the furnishings, while local craftsmen carried out the work. The house was opened to the public in 1833, five months after Sir Walter's death, and has been enjoyed by visitors ever since. The house contains an impressive collection of historic relics, weapons and armour, (also Rob Roy's Gun and Montrose's Sword), and a library containing over 9,000 rare volumes. Visitors will be able to see Sir Walter Scott's Study, Library, Drawing Room, Entrance Hall, Armouries and the Dining Room where he died on 21st September 1832. "It is a kind of Conundrum Castle to be sure and I have great pleasure in it for while it pleases a fantastic person in the style and manner of its architecture and decoration it has all the comforts of a commodious habitation.
I sprayed on the stucco 'till I thought I'd faint
With twelve shades of brown and for real I cain't...
Believe all the blandness, oh no artist I ain't
But it's my destiny to be the King of Paint
Finally, I figured out something fitting (albeit strange) for that song!
Yes, the new Taco Bell looks to be already past the stucco and paint stage, at least on the exterior (minus painting the confetti if they do that here), and that's right at one mere month from pouring the foundation! In this pic grooves in the stucco for confetti (on the top of the walls) are clearly visible.
If the old TB remains standing after all (looks like it very well might), the new building will have no choice but to assume the 1117 address that the construction crew is using. Will the old building be re-addressed correctly when Taco Bell vacates? I doubt it but stay tuned...
A little further downstream from Hope Mill.
The Lang Mill was built in 1846. Flour was produced here until 1956. The building is constructed of limestone blocks.

The Grade II Listed 11a, 11b and 11c St Thomas Street, Wells, Somerset.
Houses in row, now subdivided. Built in the early 19th Century, but on site of property rebuilt in 1640 and incorporating parts of that building. Rendered with false ashlar jointing, colour washed, rear mainly lime washed rubble, clay pantiles between coped gabled, brick end and central chimney stacks.
Originally a 3-room cross-passage plan, all rooms heated, inserted central stack; added out shut to swept-down roof to 11a, staircase rear left; 11b has through-passage shared with 11a, which originally formed one house with 11b and was probably a hall and outer room of a 3-unit plan house whose inner end has now been lost to the garden of 9 St Thomas Street. 11c probably a 18th farm building, converted into dwelling since.
