Een klassieke tweeasser temidden van klassieke bebouwing. Tweeassige motorwagen 26 maakt deel uit van een serie van vijf door de Waggonfabrik Wismar geleverde trams. De wagens werden in 1926 in dienst gesteld. Twee wagens gingen in de oorlogsjaren bij een bombardement op de remise verloren. Sinds 1981 heeft motorwagen 26 een museale status.
Ook de bebouwing in het centrum van Schwerin is klassiek. De strakke bebouwing en de grootschalige toepassing van baksteen zorgt voor een typisch Noord Duitse sfeer. Het hotel aan de rechter kant draagt de klassieke naam "Reichshof".

Château de Bourg Archambault (86390 / Vienne / France)
Un premier édifice du XIIIe siècle, aujourd’hui rasé, a été remplacé par la forteresse actuelle à partir de 1478 grâce à Poncet de Rivière, chambellan de Louis XI. Au milieu du XIXe siècle, le château est acheté par la famille Augier de Crémiers qui fera restaurer l’ensemble e ajouter les trois tours de façade. A l’origine, le château était doté d’une enceinte qui englobait le bourg. Aujourd’hui, il est encore entouré de douves et un châtelet d’entrée (avec quatre tours) équipé à l’origine d’un pont-levis, commande l’entrée au logis.
Le système de défense comporte une herse, des archères canonnières, un chemin de ronde. L’enceinte du XVe siècle est flanquée de six tours dont une fait office de donjon.
Une chapelle est aménagée dans la tour sud-est. Les deux logis primitifs en fond de cour sont reliés entre eux.
La chapelle du XVe siècle est riche d’une ornementation gothique flamboyant et d’un carrelage remarquable en terre cuite émaillée portant les monogrammes de Louis XII et Anne de Bretagne.

The Chrysler Building and the Empire State Building - The relationship
Probably the two most recognizable buildings in the world, the Chrysler Building and the Empire State Building, are often confused by new visitors to New York City.
It is a common occurrence on many private tours of the Best New York Sightseeing, when a guest will see the Chrysler Building for the first time and proclaim that it is the Empire State Building.
It is not so surprising that the two buildings can be confused since
The Chrysler building was built in 1930 and the Empire State Building was completed only 11 months later, both designed with a unique art deco style in the early 1930s.
The Chrysler Building, unlike the Empire State Building, was privately built by Walter P. Chrysler who wanted to boast of having a New York City-based building despite the fact that his corporation was primarily based in Detroit and its surroundings.
The Empire State Building, on the other hand, was built as a consortium between the New York State government and private industry in an attempt to economically rejuvenate a part of downtown Manhattan that had never really taken off, and was an attempt to attract Private industry to build more buildings in and around the new tower that breaks records.
Walter P. Chrysler, although he certainly had the influence of having his company pay for the construction of the Chrysler building, chose to pay for the incredible Chrysler building with his own money. When asked why he paid the bill for the construction of the Chrysler building directly, Walter P. Chrysler responded "... I would like my children to inherit the building ..."
The Empire State Building, completed less than a year later, in 1931, was for many years a kind of government's misguided effort to play with the generally natural way that real estate and buildings are usually built in American cities like New York. , that is, it depends on supply and demand.
Although it may be hard to believe for some, the Empire State Building was essentially a failure for many years after its completion in 1931. As little research was done in advance to determine if New York City needed another giant office tower in a time when the Great Depression was deepening, not to mention that at that moment, the location of 34th Street was a kind of no-man's land. very north of the downtown financial district and too far south of the new downtown core, which was rapidly becoming the area between 42nd Street and 50th Street.
Indeed, just a year after the Empire State Building opened to tenants of commercial offices, the vaunted New York Times sent a reporter to visit the tallest building in the world and a story appeared in the New York Times shortly after proclaiming the Empire State Building as the "Empty State Building". Virtually no tenants occupied this already iconic structure.
The management of the Empire State Building, incredibly embarrassed by the sincere but painful history of the New York Times, quickly hired a few dozen employees to raise and lower the elevators of the buildings during the evenings and nights to turn the lights on and off at Several empty offices on different floors to essentially "cheat" the public by seeing this giant structure from all parts of the city and make believe that the building had "tenants" everywhere.
Architect: Vladimir Ossipoff (1962)
Location: Honolulu, HI
The developers who now own this property and the surrounding area, Ward, have plans to demolish the building, claiming that the design is "dated". Please send them a note to share your feelings about their plans! www.ggp.com/about-ggp/contact-us
Gojżewskich tomb is located in the Old Cemetery in Lodz lies on the border between the Orthodox and Catholic part. It is the resting place of a mixed Catholic-Orthodox marriage.
Her husband was probably an officer in the tsarist army and a follower of the Orthodox Church, his wife - Alexander the Sztachów - Catholic. As part of the Catholic tomb is modest, in part resembles the Orthodox Byzantine temple.
Spouses lie in a common crypt, but the two sides of the border.
On the tombstone of Alexandra is the inscription in Polish: "Dearest Wife, Mother and Grandmother - sorrowful husband."
After decades of destruction for renewal tombstone took the authorities of Lodz. Thanks to this built with white and brown brick tomb regained its former glory. Were reconstructed vegetable ornaments, dark dome in the middle and gilded inscription "Tomb Gojżewskich family."
This building is actually not Tudor at all. It only dates back to 1925 — and was originally a cunning disguise for something the Tudors could only dream of. Beneath the hut was an electricity substation for the Charing Cross Electricity Company. It was necessary for the station to have a private, above-ground entrance and, as there had been a hut there before dating back to the 1870s, this design was thought a fitting piece of architectural camouflage.
During the second world war, the space under the hut took on a new role, as a bomb shelter. Leslie Hardcastle, president of the Soho Society explains what conditions were like inside: "It was lined with about 12 inches of brick and had concrete as a roof.
"It could take about 150 to 200 people initially although that became less when they put tiers of bunks in. The only facility was a toilet and it could get quite smelly with all the people down there."
Nowadays the hut is little more than a shed. It's filled with gardening tools, used to keep Soho Square prim and pretty.
But the hut's future might be somewhat different: in 2015, reports surfaced that Westminster Council was attempting to sell the space underneath. It's said the council wants a restaurant to move in — although that might be a hard sell, considering that any subterranean diners would have to contend with noise from the nearby tunnels, of both the Northern line and Crossrail. Maybe it could be marketed as an earthquake experience restaurant?
For now the hut remains a simple repository for spades and wheelbarrows.

I'm back from a two days trip to the Chernobyl Exclusion zone and the ghost town of Pripyat.
Building 56 on the outskirts of town. 16 floors tall but no elevator. Great view from the roof. Maybe there are a few stalker apartments in here?

Sadly my Dad suffered another stroke on Boxing day night, the first being in 2009 which robbed him of most of his speech. As with all of us born in this city, he loved this building and always wanted to see the photos I'd taken of it. Quite often over the past few years, he'd be standing behind me while I took a shot pointing out a fact about the architecture that I hadn't noticed. This was often when his speech returned as he talked about his beloved city.
There is always hope, but currently the prognosis for my Dad doesn't look very good so I'll be away from Flickr for a while. Please keep him in your thoughts. In the meantime, I'd like to wish everyone a very peaceful New Year.

The Heron Building is located in Downtown Los Angeles adjacent to the famous Biltmore Hotel. The building was built in 1921 in the Beaux Arts style. The actual building is 12 floors (versus 11 here) and is wider and longer. My version features over 16000 pieces and measures 20"x30" and stands 37" tall.
