Australian Heritage Week Warrnambool - Churches Walk Palm Sunday 17 April 2011.
Purpose built as a school in 1889, the hall of Ellerslie College is a two room structure constructed of local Merri stone. There is a single storey stone cottage attached to the rear of the hall which appears to be of earlier construction, probably c.1870.
The hall was built in an early mediaeval style and is formed by two rooms in an L shaped configuration with gable ends. The place is entered through a round arched doorway into a parapeted entry foyer. The windows to the hall are double lancet in form with bulbous centre pilasters.
Internally the class rooms are plain with timber lined ceiling following the line of the roof trusses. A number of internal doors illustrate the buildings past use with the sign "Library" painted on the glass of one door and "Quiet Room" on another. However it is unclear whether this is related to the place's use as a school or as a Toc H branch.
The use of the Gothic Revival style for schools was associated with high aspirations in learning and moral vigour, particularly through the promotion of Gothic Revival architecture by the Oxford Movement and the Cambridge Camden Society. The use of Gothic Revival also had associations to the prestige of the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. Its use can be seen in a range of educational buildings of the nineteenth century both in Australia and in Great Britain which draw references from early medieval to tudor architecture.
Ellerslie College was started by a Miss Davidson on the site sometime in 1886. The land and the original cottage building was owned by Henry Kemmis who had briefly run a school from 1871 to 1874 on the neighbouring property which had been previously been the home, known as Ellerslie House, of James Aitken a local merchant, and prior to that the Royal Archer Hotel.
William Lawson took over in 1892. Lawson bought the place the following year and continued to run it as a school until 1902 when Richard Lawson and William Oakley briefly occupied the place as part of the Warrnambool Academy until 1904.
Up until the early twentieth century public education only catered for students at a primary level. Secondary education was catered for only by private colleges. Most of these were denominational, financed and run under the influence of the various major Christian churches. However, as well as these denominational schools were a number of smaller private colleges that also provided boarding facilities that catered for the needs and aspirations of the middle classes, and in rural areas the children of local landowners.
Apart from being a private college the hall housed the first classrooms of the Warrnambool High School (then Warrnambool Agricultural High School) for some months in 1907 and from sometime in the 1920's was the home of the 3rd Warrnambool scout troop which had associations to the Toc H movement. The hall was also the location of the first Lutheran services in Warrnambool from 1933. The place is currently a residence.

The largest building site in downtown Berlin - on the grounds of former Wertheim department store, a new shopping center in the making. Just what one needs ;)
Looking southeast at the Fechter Hotel Building (128-134 East Main) in Bozeman, Montana.
Built in 1918 by saloon owner John Fechter, the three-and-a-half story hotel and retail building was designed by omnipresent Bozeman architect Fred Willson in the Neo-Gothic Revival style. It's one of Willson's more unique designs. The facade is white glazed terra cotta. Vertical cruciform shapes have been removed from the terra cotta, exposing the red brick beneath -- giving the building an even greater sense of height. Small faces were added to the line in the sandstone facade above the windows, and the rest of the sandstone facing intricately cared in bas relief and high relief.
The facade also has distinctive Arabian-arch windows with bronze grating over the upper portion, and a small, semi-circular iron and glass canopy over the door (any canopy is unusual for doors along the street). Over the years, "anchor" tenants like Woolworth's and J.C. Penney occupied the ground floor. The upper floors were originally hotel rooms, but over time became a mix of hotel rooms and apartments.
Although the building is located within the Main Street Historic District (listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 21, 1987), it is not a contributing property. (The canopy and main entrance have shifted from the middle of the structure to the left, sadly altering it.)
Located at 9,305 feet in southwest Colorado, Silverton was a booming mining town in the late 19th Century. Today it depends on tourism, especially day trippers arriving on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.
I want to introduce you to the tram shack I grew up in. I slept in the beds, staring at the ceiling. I opened the windows and dropped into the dining table the other side.
I hurt myself on the bars near the doors and lost toys down the retractable windows. I crawled under the tram and have many Christmas memories of this tram.
This is the Jenkin Tram shack at Pt Parham and if you ask the right people, you can rent it for some relaxing time at the beach.
My Grandfather bought the Tram and land back in 1955.
I believe the tram is a Type C. It has been in my family since the 1950's.
It is a Straight roof combination car - nickname 'Desert Gold'
This class of Adelaide tram included No's 171 - 190. (This is a photo of 190)
They were introduced in: 1918
Withdrawn: 1954
Electrics: 2 x 50hp GE 202 motors, magnetic track brakes
Size: 34ft x 8ft 11in
Seating/Crush load: 40/102
These trams were very fast cars which were used to compete with unlicensed private (known as pirate) buses in the 1920s.

Originally known as ‘Desert Golds’ after a fast race horse of the time.
During the First World War (1914-18), the MTT (Municipal Tram Trust) urgently needed more tramcars because of passenger traffic generated by line extensions and the Port Adelaide system. Wartime conditions made it hard to obtain equipment, so twenty tram cars similar to the seventy type A trams were built – again by Adelaide car-building firm Duncan & Fraser. They looked very modern because of the simple arched roof, but this was simply a cost saving measure, not a design feature.
Larger motors made them faster. Like the A types they were modelled on, they seated forty passengers and carried a further sixty-two standees.
A planned purchase of large trams was delayed by World War I. Type C trams were small combination cars, built in 1918–1919 as an interim measure. They were similar in basic design to the older A type but had a more modern curved roof rather than a clerestory roof. During their construction, the old motors from the E type (General Electric 202 motors) were fitted to these new trams. Rated at 50 hp each compared to the 33 hp units fitted to the A types, these trams were considerably faster.
Due to the their consequent higher speeds they became known as Desert Gold trams, after a New Zealand racehorse that had won races in Australia at the same time. This speed became useful in competition against unlicensed buses in the 1920s, and they were used in peak service until 1952 with the last use for the royal visit of 1954. Trams 181 to 190 inclusive were allocated to the Port Adelaide system for a short period in the 1930s before closure of the system, mainly used on the Port Adelaide - Albert Park line.[49] During the 1930s, the original Hale Kilburn seating fitted to these trams were replaced with Brill Winner seats taken out of 20 A type trams (numbers unknown).

The Catedral de Santa Catalina was originally planned as a parish church for the Spaniards in 1665, but in 1682 it was elevated to the rank of cathedral. Work was not completed until 1762. The two bell towers were not completed to avoid higher taxation as the colonial authorities levied a lower tax on buildings that were not completed. The cathedral features a stunning Baroque façade carved out of volcanic rock that contains elements of native iconography.
The once beautiful building of the North Wales Hospital at Denbigh. This was the main Asylum for North Wales and closed completely in 1995 following years of serving the area. It covers a huge area and is now sadly in a serious state of disrepair.
Chitkul, Baspa valley, Kinnaur, in the south east of Himachal Pradesh in India.
Chitkul is the last village down the Baspa valley, which leads to Tibet (China).
St. Michael's Church, Taddington, Derbyshire, UK.
The Parish Church of St Michael is the most important building in the village with its 14th century tower and brooched spire. Also from that century are the nave and aisles, which have lofty arcades of 4 bays. The church was extensively restored in the 19th century by Naylor and Sale, and contain fine brasses to Richard Blackwell, who died in 1505, and was presumably some local dignitary.

Designed by Raymond Loewy Associates and oened in February 1955, this Lord & Taylor store serves the near western suburbs of Philadelphia at the Bala Cynwyd Shopping Center, located at the intersection of City Line & Belmont Avenue.
It's still remarkably original, though plans are in place to alter the facade and add an adjacent retail building. I'm glad I got here when I did.
Chartres Cathedral, built over one hundred years starting in the twelfth century, presents a stunning example of French High Gothic architecture. One of the west facade's contrasting spires dates from the original construction.
