Hilborough House, which sits on the flat Brecklands just south of Swaffham, is the home of the Van Cutsem family. The brick and flint Neo-Georgian mansion was designed in 1990 by the architect Francis Johnson who never lived to see the building’s construction and completion in 1997. The magnificent garden, originally designed by Arne Maynard, is contemporary with the house and is planted up in a formal, Neo-Dutch style with extensive use of hedges and topiary. There are echoes here of Hatfield, Palais Het Loo and Highgrove. There is also a rose garden, modern herbaceous borders, a maze and a labyrinth, a newly planted arboretum and a small lake. This is unquestionably one of the major modern gardens of England.

5 January 2018 _ Europe's tallest building rising from the nearly complete rebuild of London's first railway station built in 1836
On vacation to New Hampshire on October 9, 1986, I stopped at the North Conway station of the Conway Scenic Railroad. The station here, built in 1874, is justly famous for its beautiful architecture and is now on the National Register of Historic Places. Such a stylish station was built here because the town is one of the major resort centers of the White Mountains.
A Victorian interpretation of Russian Provincial seems to best describe the architectural style of this unique station building.

An official postcard of Alex shortly before the re-modelling of Alexanderplatz, pedestrianisation and removal (until recent restoration) of trams. The Tatra 603 is in a less formal hue. On the right, the famous Berolina house 8-storey with reinforced concrete skeleton , built in 1930-2 according to designs by P. Behrens. Both it, and its twin (Alexanderhaus) opposite somehow managed to survive the Battle for Berlin, albeit damaged and will also surive the current second remodelling of Alexanderplatz - which has already thrown up a building more hideous than anything ever constructed in GDR times. A significant pair of buildings,the only 2 to reach fruition in a bold 1920s plan to remodel Alex.. The Berlin C2 central post office was behind the Tatra. DDR postcard publishers always tried to incorporate a nice car into the picture to give an impression of affluence.
Outside the Alexanderhaus, between 1933 and 1944, when it mysteriously disappeared, stood the 7.5m high bronze sculture of Berolina, the work of the East Prussian Emil Hundrieser (1846-1911). It was erected in 1895,but removed in the mid 20s for U-Bahn work, and because it conveyed messages of Prussian militarism. Public outcry brought it back in 1933 for a further 11 years when it is believed to have been melted down. It stood on a 6m plinth but was rather squeezed between the roundabout and the obtuse angle in the Alexanderhaus.
An interesting 2003 document with history and future plans for Alex is found here, full of photos new and old

May Day at Audley End
Roll up, roll up and see May Day fun as it used to be!
Enjoy our Victorian side shows and brass band, and marvel at our incredible displays of Victorian falconry. Then watch as your little ones learn circus skills or take part in a play. All of which, coupled with the spectacular house and grounds at Audley End, is sure to make this a day out to remember for all the family!
Enjoy a great day out at one of England’s grandest stately homes; Audley End House.
The doors of our restored historic stables recently opened, complete with resident horses and a Victorian groom. Our stables experience includes an exhibition where you can find out about the workers who lived on the estate in the 1880s, the tack house and the Audley End fire engine. Try our dressing up clothes in the stables and meet our horses, Duke and Jack, too.
Children can let loose in our fun themed play area next to our Cart Yard Café which is always very popular with visitors.
Audley End House itself is a magnificent house, built to entertain royalty, and includes a Victorian Service Wing complete with kitchen, laundries and a dairy.
With beautiful grounds to explore, including an impressive formal garden and the working Organic Kitchen Garden, there’s so much to see and do at Audley End House.
Originally adapted from a medieval Benedictine monastery, the house and gardens at Audley End were amongst the largest and most opulent in Jacobean England. Today Audley End is set in a tranquil landscape with stunning views across the unspoilt Essex countryside. Visitors can enjoy the painstakingly restored parterre with its eye-catching bedding scheme and a walled kitchen garden run entirely on organic principles. It's possible to see elements of English gardening on a grand scale at Audley End carried out by the most influential designers of the day such as Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown.
The red accent wall was previously "faux" (AKA fake) brick. There was a bow window which was rotted. I replaced it with a picture window that looks out over the backyard. The red accent wall color is carried into the adjoining sunroom.
The building was erected between 1877 and 1881 by the architects Martin Gropius and Heino Schmieden in the neo-Renaissance style. Originally a museum of applied arts, nowadays a well-known Berlin exhibition hall.
Constructed between 1920 and 1924, the Wrigley Building was one of the first office buildings located north of the Chicago River. Despite being one of Chcago's most recognizable buildings, the Wrigley Building is not an officaly designated landmark.

The King’s Buildings - named after King George V - has developed as the Science and Engineering Campus of the University of Edinburgh since land was first acquired at West Mains Road in November 1919.
A look around the outside of Aston Hall. I was there for the Birmingham Heritage Week Siege event, but was also an opportunity to get exterior photos of the hall that I didn't get on previous visits to Aston Park.

1618-35 for Sir Thomas Holte. A major early Jacobean house on a grand scale
with a main block facing east, the forecourt enclosed by projecting flanking
wings each with a square turret breaking slightly from the inner face. Shaped
gables to front of wings and across symmetrical elevation of main block which
in surmounted by an axial tower rising in 3 stages from the balustraded parapet
to terminate in a 2 tier cupola: the dome on a square base over the original
lower tier. Surprisingly restrained ornament to the elevations of red brick
with darker brick diaper, the stone facings and quoins reserved for the corners.
Well proportioned mullion and transom windows, with 2 storey canted oriel
windows crested by strapwork to the ends of the wings. The central stone
doorway, giving immediately into the centre of the hall, has Doric columns,
entablature and cartouches above framed by strapwork and surmounted by ball
finials. An inscription bears the date 1618. Plans for the ground and first
floors survive in John Thorpe's book of drawings in the Soame Museum but there
are differences in execution, particularly the plan of the hall, a provision
for a polygonal end to the chapel on the south front and 3 bays on the west
the foundations of which survive. Alterations may well have taken place following
damage in the Civil War. Narrow wings abut the outer faces of the main forecourt
wings but were originally of one storey only at their east and west ends
heightened in the late C17. An arcaded loggia flanks the chapel projection
in the centre of the south front. The west range has a 2 storey main elevation
with a flat roof ro the Long Gallery on the first floor, the main block of
the hall rising on the third storey behind with 6 shaped gables and a chimney
stack with 6 grouped octagonal shafts. Archway to loggia at south end originally
one storey but as on east front heightened late C17, corresponding archway
added to north end in C18. The north elevation service/kitchen range with
considerable alterations to fenestration in the late C17 and C18 and with
early C19 service one storey additions. Very fine interior with wealth of
decorations in contrast to almost classical restraint of exterior. Much panelling
and architectural framework to doorways in great hall and to many of the monumental
chimney pieces in stone end alabaster. Richly carved strapwork balustrade
staircase in square well. One hundred and thirty six feet long, well preserved,
long gallery. Considerable amount of original decorative plasterwork to frieze
and ceilings but desceptively successful imitation Jacobean plasterwork carried
out for John Watt the younger, leasee of the Hall in the 1818 to 1848.
