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.

The cantilevered roof makes the carport distinct. And like all Wright houses, the door to the house is hidden from the front of the house.
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.

The Neustädter Town Hall is the town hall of Hanau.
Location
The Neustädter Town Hall is located in the center of the former Hanau Neustadt, on the market square. Before the Neustädter Town Hall stands since the 18th October 1896 the National Monument to the brothers Grimm. The building is placed in one axis with the Walloon-Dutch Church, the central church in the new town of Hanau. The sight connection is made by Paradise Alley (Paradiesgasse).
Laying the foundation stone
Already in 1606 the construction of the town hall was decided, however, for reasons of cost is has been postponed over and over again. The city administration resided until then in rented buildings. It was not until more than one hundred years after the founding of the Hanau Neustadt that on 11 June 1725 under the government of Count Johann Reinhard III. the groundbreaking ceremony for a private hall of Neustadt occurred.
The in Baroque style built Neustädter Rathaus (Town Hall) with its hipped roof with mansards was designed 1723-33 by Christian Ludwig Hermann. The sovereign supported the construction with affordable building materials and by providing scaffolding wood from the construction of the castle Philippsruhe. Construction was completed in 1733. Some years later were - also by Christian Ludwig Hermann - back buildings built to the long road. They contained the archive, the prison and the home of the official servant.
The building
The facade is built of red, Franconia sandstone. The front gable on the roof shows the double coat of arms of Count Johann Reinhard III. and his wife, Dorothea Friederike of Brandenburg-Ansbach. Right and left, it is decorated with two allegorical female figures as a symbol of justice and peace. To the left the justice scale with their symbols, scepter and eagle with sword at her feet. To the right the peace with golden torch, book and the crane at his feet. The crane symbolizes vigilance and security. At the cast-iron balcony the colored, gilded coat of arms of Neustadt is attached with the year 1733.
The building expresses the self-confidence of the new town (Neustadt) founders, this very prestigious building, also built a symbol of their self-government, putting in the center of town.
Glockenspiel in the town hall tower
The town hall tower of the Neustädter Town Hall is a later addition from 1755 and received a clock and a carillon with 18 bells. During the reconstruction of the building after the Second World War, a carillon was also reinstalled. It plays daily at the given time the following works:
10:00 o'clock - The golden sun - Breakfast chorale by Johann Georg Ahle
12:00 o'clock - The music erkiest (comes from kiss) Who is - canon from op 45 II by Paul Hindemith
16:00 o'clock Minuet - Historical Hanauer set 1755
18:00 o'clock Gut'n evening gut'n evening to you all here beisamm (together)' - Volksweise (folk tune) 1860
Destruction and Reconstruction
The Neustädter Town Hall was destroyed in the bombing raids of World War II up to the perimeter walls. In the 60s of the 20th Century in and around the historic building was built a new town hall. The city council was using until 1964 Philippsruhe Castle temporarily. For the new City Hall the preserved facade parts and enclosing walls of the historic building have been restored and reused. In contrast to the pre-war situation, in which the town hall a in the closed row of buildings of the north side of the market place integrated construction was, it was now surrounded with free-and U-shaped new administrative buildings at that time usual, factual exposed aggregate concrete style with flat roofs. The baroqueized roof extension of these modern office buildings followed only twenty years later.
舊金山總督溫泉位於新北市金山區，原址為日治時期台灣總督府台北州所撥款在金山水尾興建的溫泉招待所。1938年(昭和十三年)五月動工，隔年九月峻工，慣稱為「新館」。國府時期成為國軍海防堡壘，泉源亦被填塞作廢。軍隊移防後，建物傾頹，後由舊金山總督溫泉團隊投入整建，以原建物為藍圖，在維護原建築風格的基礎下加以整建，讓「新館」的溫泉生命力得以重新展現。
舊金山總督溫泉的泉水屬於稀有的海底溫泉，除了含有大屯火山山脈特有的硫磺及礦物成分外，因滲透到深層海水，而略有鹹味，早期為日治時期總督御用泉，現今的泡湯設施包含一樓戶外溫泉池(露天風呂)、冷泉SPA、雙人湯屋、風情湯屋、舒壓館、總督御池、貴賓池及頂樓觀海浴池(男女裸湯露天風呂)等，及餐廳的服務。

Rondreis door het bijzondere en mooie Myanmar, voorheen Birma …, november 2013
De Schwedagonpagode is de grootste tempel van Myanmar. Deze kegelvormige, 98 meter hoge, met 50.000 kilo bladgoud en vele duizenden kostbare edelstenen bedekte pagode bevindt zich op de heuvel Singuttara in een buitenwijk van Rangoon. Ze is één van de belangrijkste boeddhistische bedevaartsoorden ter wereld. Volgens de overlevering worden in de pagode acht haren bewaard van de laatste Boeddha, tezamen met relikwieën van drie van diens voorgaande incarnaties.
Met de bouw van de pagode werd begonnen in de 5e eeuw v.Chr. Sindsdien is het bouwwerk door aardbevingen vaak zwaar beschadigd, maar telkens weer herbouwd - een volgende versie door talrijke goud- en juwelengiften telkens groter en prachtiger dan de voorgaande.
Rond de pagode is een paviljoen met tientallen kleinere pagodes, tempels en beelden ontstaan. Ook de kleinere pagodes werden steeds mooier als ze na een aardbeving moesten worden herbouwd.
In één van de tempels bevindt zich een 15 ton zware klok. In 1824 wilden de Engelsen deze klok overbrengen naar Engeland, maar zij viel van boord in de rivier. Met bootjes en bamboestokken wisten de Birmanen haar weer uit het water halen.

Kirkwood is built in the Greek Revival style with Italianate influences. Foster M. Kirksey began building the house in 1858. Construction was halted by the Civil War, leaving several features of the structure incomplete. The house is wood framed with two primary floors and a large cupola crowning the low-pitched hipped roof. The roof eaves are ornamented with wooden brackets. A monumentally scaled portico with Ionic columns wraps around two sides of the house. The balcony railings, cupola, and several minor features were completed in the 1970s, when Roy and Mary Swayze restored the house. The Swayze family was awarded a National Trust for Historic Preservation Honor Award in 1982 for their restoration efforts.
The edifice was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
