The street of the Lords, in the Middle Ages Bürgerstraße, also Bürgergasse (citizen's alley), is the name of a baroque boulevard in the center of Graz and a center of public life of the Styrian capital. It connects the main square with the square at the Iron Gate, near the Jakomini Square, the center of public transport from Graz. It runs approximately parallel to the Mur (river) on the left Murseite (side) in north-south direction. All Graz tram lines drive through the Herrngasse, largely pedestrianized and is therefore closed to other private transport since November 1972.
History
The territory of today Herrngasse is old settlement area, where finds were made also from the Hallstatt period.
(The Hallstatt culture was the predominant Central European culture from the 8th to 6th centuries BC (European Early Iron Age), developing out of the Urnfield culture of the 12th century BC (Late Bronze Age) and followed in much of Central Europe by the La Tène culture. It is commonly associated with Proto-Celtic and Celtic populations in the Western Hallstatt zone and with (pre-) Illyrians in the eastern Hallstatt zone.
By the 6th century BC, it spanned across territories north-south from the Main, Bohemia, the Little Carpathians, the Swiss plateau, the Salzkammergut, down to the border between Lower Styria and Lower Carniola, and from the western zone, that included Champagne-Ardenne, the Upper Rhine, and the upper Danube, to the eastern zone, that included Vienna Basin and the Danubian Lowland, for some 1000 km.)

At the southern end of Lord Street (approximately in the range of today's sacristan alley) was the 1261 mentioned, walled Jewish ghetto. Between 1457 and 1475 the citizens' street where dwelt the most respected citizens of Graz was renamed Herrengasse, since more and more nobles acquired a property here.

Located at the intersection of Oliver Street, East Broadway, the Bowery, and Park Row, Kimlau Square stands at the center of Chatham Square. In 1961, a local law named this island within Chatham Square in recognition of the contributions of Lt. Kimlau and the veterans post. That year, the post erected this memorial, designed by architect Poy G. Lee (1900-1968). Standing at the head of Oliver Street, it is reminiscent of a triumphal arch. The memorial stands eighteen feet nine inches in height and is sixteen feet wide.
Inscribed on the memorial is a dedication in both English and Chinese: “In Memory of the Americans of Chinese Ancestry who lost their Lives in Defense of Freedom and Democracy.” In June 2000, the post celebrated its 55th anniversary, which included a parade and a rededication of the Kimlau Memorial.

As night fell in New York, a rainstorm rolled in and started down pouring as I was finishing my city trek. There was one final photo I wanted to take before I left for the day. I had to cross the Manhattan Bridge to look for this small street in Brooklyn. After driving through a maze of roads, I decided I was close enough to this road to run there before my camera was ruined by the rain. I parked in the first spot I could find, and made an all out sprint to where my GPS was directing me, as I made my way down the street, I saw the Empire State Building begin to align with the massive bridge's arch. I ducked beneath a small overhang to get my camera prepped while avoiding the torrential rain. I knew I would have to act fast to capture this moment, and kept my fingers crossed that I wouldn't lose another camera the destructive water. I rushed to get my spot in the middle of the street and made sure that the composition for this photo was exactly how I imagined it. I leaned over my camera to block the rain as I made my exposures for the next few minutes, and succeeded in avoiding disaster while capturing this classic photograph.
Albuquerque, New Mexico
Listed 12/24/2013
Reference Number: 13000971
The AT&SF Freight Office in Albuquerque, New Mexico, is significant at the local level under National Register Criterion C in the area of architecture because it an excellent example of the Mission Revival style of architecture that common on in the American Southwest and in New Mexico during the first half of the 20th century and because it was favored by the Atchison, Topeka, & Santa Fe Railway Company. The Mission Revival style promulgated by the railroad is a more simplified version of the style, without many of the ornate architectural details found on earlier Mission Revival-style railroad buildings. The Freight Office is significant at the local level under National Register Criterion A in the area of transportation because it served as an office building for a larger AT&SF warehouse complex, which was demolished in the 1980s. The nomination of the AT&SF Freight Office is supported by the Multiple Property Documentation Form, "Historical and Architectural Resources of Central Albuquerque, 1880-1970," which was completed in 2012.

Mother of God Church (Mutter Gottes Kirche)
The German Catholics of Covington attended St. Mary Parish on 5th Street from the time of its founding. However, as their numbers increased, the need for a separate parish began apparent. In 1841, the Reverend Ferdinand Kuhr, a native of Eslohe, Prussia, was appointed to organize the Covington Germans into a new congregation. A temporary chapel was set up in a building on Scott Street in 1841. Mother of God was the second Catholic parish to be established in Northern Kentucky. In the spring of 1842, the congregation purchased a lot at the southwest corner of 6th and Washington. On this lot, a new church was constructed. The German population rapidly increased throughout the pre-Civil War era in Covington. A number of new daughter parishes were formed from the territory of Mother of God to meet these needs of these newcomers. Despite the development of new German parishes in the city, Mother of God congregation continued to flourish.
In 1870, Father Kuhr and the parishioners began planning for the construction of a new Mother of God Church. The old church building was demolished and ground was broken for the new Italian Renaissance Revival structure. The new Mother of God Church sported a large portico supported by four Corinthian columns, two large towers and a cupola.

One final view of the Pompidou Centre exterior to finish up this section. Designed by Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano, the building was completed in 1977, and in addition to the building, a large public square was also created, which has gone on to become one of the most intensively used public spaces in Paris.
Petworth House, Sussex, was largely the creation of Charles Seymour, 6th duke of Somerset (1662-1748) in the 1680s and 1690s, although it contains the core of an earlier building dating back to the fourteenth century.The West front (completed 1702) is thought to be the work of Daniel Marot, a Huguenot architect and designer who worked for William III, because of payments to 'Mr Maro' (1693). This front has three stories and is 322 feet long. It has a moulded cornice with elaborate volutes above the first floor, and, at second floor level, a thinner cornice with a panelled parapet with some ballustrading that formerly supported sculptural decoration. Two types of stone were used on this front, white Portland for the dressings and local green sandstone for the walls. The projecting three bays at either end of the front - one of which is seen here - are entirely of Portland stone. Their windows have concave reveals which are continued between ground and first floors to ceate recesses for busts and, in the centre bay, an eagle.

Before becoming the rectory this was a house of ill repute and a speakeasy and gambling hall. It was owned by a mobster named Gertie Walsh. It later became a funeral home. The police were still raiding it when it was a funeral parlor because of illegal activities still going on.
Construction of the library was massive in its conception and intricate in detail. One hundred and forty-six thousand cubic feet of stone were employed. Wall-bearing masonry was used, and the exterior was built of Bedford “blue” oolitic limestone from Indiana, and Hallowell granite from the southwest part of Maine. The building fronts 354 feet on Michigan Avenue and 147 feet on Washington and Randolph Streets. It is 95 feet high in three stories and two intermediate floors plus basement. Total ground area is 50,367 square feet, and the building’s weight is 72,000 tons. There are 1,955 tons of iron in the structure, some of this in elaborate decorative ironwork.
