Shere, Surrey.
Shere is a village near Guildford. It's set in a wooded vale and has many traditional type houses and includes a blacksmith, pubs and a Norman church. Shere appears in the Domesday book of 1086.
It has a notorious past according to Wiki: "The neighbourhood was for a time one of the wildest in Surrey: sheep-stealers, smugglers, and poachers found a refuge in these remote hills. Some of the cottages have, still existing, very large cellars (excavated easily in the sandy hill), stated to have been by H.E. Malden "far too large for any honest purpose, and were no doubt made for storing smuggled goods till they could be conveniently taken on to London".
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.
Back in 1877, the North Side of Pittsburgh was a completely separate city, called Allegheny City. It was in that year that the newly formed Allegheny City Fire Department constructed this fine building. In 1907, Allegheny City was annexed by the City of Pittsburgh, and this station was operated as Engine Company No. 43 until 1969.
It is the oldest Firehouse in the city of Pittsburgh.
Currently, it is occupied by the gallery Moxie Dada, and if you're interested, the Firehouse can be yours for a cool half-million.

روزگاری شهر رم در اروپا دارای چنان جاذبه و اهمیتی شده بود که میگفتند همه راهها به رم ختم میشود.اما در زمانی که عده ای تصمیم گرفته اند دومین قدرت اصلی در دنیای تقلب وکلاهبرداری در جهان را به ضرب شامورتی بازی وبوق های تبلیغاتیشان باد کرده و بجای مرکز جدید اسلام به دنیا بخورانند ،دیگر تکلیف دست نشاندگان ایشان در ایران کاملا روشن است. هرگونه بررسی عاری از غرض در مورد مسیر و سمت و سوی ج.ا در طول حیاتش نشان دهنده این نتیجه ثابت بوده که این حکومت چیزی جز افزوده ای از رژیم حاکم بر ترکیه نبوده ، که در پی آرزوی هفتصد ساله خود برای نابودی ایران و ایرانی ، فرصت باد آورده را مغتنم شمرده و با یاری دست نشاندگانش درپی هر دواحتمال موجود در این موضوع بوده.اول ضمیمه کردن ایران تحت بهانه اتحاد کشورهای اسلامی ، اتحادیه منطقه ای ،...و دوم نابود نمودن کامل ایران بدست عوامل مجنون و مفلوک خویش در حاکمیت ایران ،که آن را به جنگ با اسرائیل یا امریکا یا هر دو کشانده و ایران و ایرانی را برای حداقل پنجاه سال از هرگونه پیشرفت و رفاه دور نمایند. گویا اخیرا برخی رسانه های غربی هم به عقلشان خطور کرده که بنشینند و بررسی کنند و ببینند این ج.ا درطول حیاتش برای که نافع و برای که نابود کننده بوده.نشریه فاینشنال تایمز در یکی از شماره های ماههای اخیر خود طی مقاله مفصلی در مورد نقش ترکیه و ج.ا در عراق به همان نتایجی که ما سالهاست گفته ایم رسیده و تمام آن را در این جمله خلاصه نموده : در عراق همه جا قدرت و حاکمیت ایران را میتوان دید اما بر روی هر چیز که نگاه نکنید نوشته شده ساخت ترکیه. بررسی رفتارهای نظامی و تروریستی ج.ا هم غیر از این نتیجه را بدست نمیدهد تا جائی که زمانیکه مردم مظلوم ما به حق تشخیص دادند که نباید ارزهای خود را تقدیم دشمنان ترک نمایند و برای تفریح راه کشورها آسیای جنوب شرقی را در پیش گرفتند ، تروریسم ج.ا در آن کشورها نمودار شد تا توریستهای ایرانی بدانند که انتخاب دیگری جز موطن قدیمی ترین و ناپاکترین دشمن خود ندارند . اما دست نشاندگان ترکها در ایران آیا میدانند این ره که ایشان میروند به ترکستان است؟
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)

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.

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.

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.
