The latest addition to the building stock at Beamish Museum is this beautifully re-created band practice hall, originally from Hetton-le-Hole in east Durham.
Hetton Silver Band was created in 1887 and, in common with many similar mining communities became a very important part of the lives of the mining families. This building was built in 1912 in South Market Street and replaced the former tin hut as their band practice venue. It remained in use until 2009, when the band merged with the Durham Miners Association Brass Band.
The building became derelict and was in danger of being lost forever until it was donated to Beamish Museum by it's owners, Durham Miners Association. Thanks to their generousity in donating, and thanks to a considerable fund-raising effort by the local community and the museum, the building is now safely preserved in it's new environment.
The building was officially opened on 11 May 2013.

The Jewish Square, Vienna 1, formed in the Middle Ages under the name of "schoolyard" the center of the former Jewish Town, extending next to the Ducal court. It was closed from the rest of the city by four gates. Here there were school, bathhouse, synagogue and the house of the rabbi. The school was one of the most important of German-speaking countries. The community existed from about 1190 to the Vienna Geserah in 1421.
The stemming from the 15th century Jordan House, Nr. 2, bears a late Gothic relief with the representation of Jesus' baptism in the Jordan. This is not only a reference to the name of the house owner, Jörg Jordan, but also to the Vienna Geserah which the accompanying text endorses. On the initiative of Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, the Archdiocese of Vienna donated a plaque which Cardinal Franz König on 29 October 1998 unveiled. Its text reads: "Kiddush HaShem" means "sanctification of God". With this awareness, chose Viennese Jews in the synagogue here on Jewish Square - the center of an important Jewish community - at the time of persecution 1420/21 the suicide to escape a feared by them forced baptism. Others, about 200, were burnt alive in Erdberg (today 3rd district of Vienna) at the stake. Christian preachers of that time spread superstitious anti-Jewish ideas and thus incited against the Jews and their faith. So influenced, Christians in Vienna acquiesced without resistance, approved it and became perpetrators. Thus, the liquidation of the Vienna Jewish Town in 1421 was already a looming omen for what happened in our century throughout europe during the Nazi dictatorship. Medieval popes pronounced unsuccessfully against the anti-Jewish superstition, and individual believers struggled unsuccessfully against the racial hatred of the Nazis. But those were too few. Today Christendom regrets its involvement in the persecution of Jews and recognizes its failures. "Sanctification of God" today for Christians can only mean: asking for forgiveness and hope in God's salvation. October 29, 1998
Already in 1910, consisted the plan here the poet of the Enlightenment, Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729-1781), who in his play "Nathan the Wise" the interdenominational tolerance has put up a literary monument, to honor with a statue. In 1935, a sculpture by Siegfried Charoux was unveiled, but only four years later, in 1940, taken off and melted down for armaments. In 1968, the same artist created again a Lessing monument, which came first on the Morzin square and 1981 on the original site.
Since 2000, the place is a unique ensemble of remembering with the memorial by Rachel Whiteread for the 65,000 Austrian victims of the Shoah. 1995 the foundations of the in 1420 destroyed synagogue were excavated which now with finds constitute a part of the branch of the Jewish Museum Vienna. A computer-animated walk leads into one of the largest Jewish communities in Europe which existed here in the early 15th century. Another room is dedicated to the Shoah documentation.
Der Judenplatz, Wien 1, bildete im Mittelalter unter dem Namen „Schulhof“ den Mittelpunkt der einstigen Judenstadt, die sich neben dem Herzogshof erstreckte. Sie war durch vier Tore von der übrigen Stadt abgeschlossen. Hier befanden sich Schule, Badestube, Synagoge und das Haus des Rabbiners. Die Schule war eine der bedeutendsten des deutschen Sprachraums. Die Gemeinde bestand ab etwa 1190 bis zur Wiener Geserah im Jahre 1421.
Das aus dem 15. Jahrhundert stammende Jordanhaus, Nr. 2, trägt ein spätgotisches Relief mit der Darstellung der Taufe Jesu im Jordan. Dieses ist nicht nur eine Anspielung auf den Namen des Hausbesitzers, Jörg Jordan, sondern auch auf die Wiener Geserah, die der beigefügte Text gut heißt. Auf Initiative von Kardinal Christoph Schönborn stiftete die Erzdiözese Wien eine Gedenktafel, die Kardinal Franz König am 29. Oktober 1998 enthüllte. Ihr Text lautet: „Kiddusch HaSchem“ heißt „Heiligung Gottes“ Mit diesem Bewußtsein wählten Juden Wiens in der Synagoge hier am Judenplatz — dem Zentrum einer bedeutenden jüdischen Gemeinde — zur Zeit der Verfolgung 1420/21 den Freitod, um einer von ihnen befürchteten Zwangstaufe zu entgehen. Andere, etwa 200, wurden in Erdberg auf dem Scheiterhaufen lebendig verbrannt. Christliche Prediger dieser Zeit verbreiteten abergläubische judenfeindliche Vorstellungen und hetzten somit gegen die Juden und ihren Glauben. So beeinflusst nahmen Christen in Wien dies widerstandslos hin, billigten es und wurden zu Tätern. Somit war die Auflösung der Wiener Judenstadt 1421 schon ein drohendes Vorzeichen für das, was europaweit in unserem Jahrhundert während der nationalsozialistischen Zwangsherrschaft geschah. Mittelalterliche Päpste wandten sich erfolglos gegen den judenfeindlichen Aberglauben, und einzelne Gläubige kämpften erfolglos gegen den Rassenhaß der Nationalsozialisten. Aber es waren derer zu wenige. Heute bereut die Christenheit ihre Mitschuld an den Judenverfolgungen und erkennt ihr Versagen. „Heiligung Gottes“ kann heute für die Christen nur heißen: Bitte um Vergebung und Hoffnung auf Gottes Heil. 29. Oktober 1998
Schon 1910 bestand der Plan, dem Dichter der Aufklärung Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729-1781), der in seinem Stück „Nathan der Weise“hat Lessing der interkonfessionellen Toleranz ein literarisches Denkmal gesetzt hat, hier mit einem Standbild zu ehren. 1935 wurde eine Plastik von Siegfried Charoux enthüllt, doch schon vier Jahre später entfernt und 1940 für Rüstungszwecke eingeschmolzen. 1968 schuf der selbe Künstler wieder ein Lessing-Denkmal, das zunächst auf den Morzinplatz und 1981 an den ursprünglichen Aufstellungsort kam.
Seit 2000 ist der Platz ein einzigartiges Ensemble des Erinnerns mit dem Mahnmal von Rachel Whiteread für die 65.000 österreichischen Opfer der Schoa. 1995 wurden die Fundamente der 1420 zerstörten Synagoge ergraben, die nun mit Funden einen Teil der Außenstelle des Jüdischen Museums Wien ausmachen. Ein computeranimierter Spaziergang führt in eine der größten jüdischen Gemeinden Europas, die Anfang des 15. Jahrhundert hier bestand. Ein weiterer Raum ist der Schoa-Dokumentation gewidmet.

We arrived in Bethlenszentmiklós (Romanian: Sânmiclăus) around noon. It was easy to spot the Renaissance mansion which dominated the landscape..
There are only a few Renaissance building constructed in the territory of the former Hungarian Kingdom and there are still fewer buildings that exist. The Turkish wars forced wealthy people to invest in gold, castles and not in mansions.
Bethlen Miklos built both: his Italian style mansion was surrounded by two concentric walls fortified by 6 great towers. He designed and built his own mansion in 1667. He used "refurbished" stones from older castles. The bricks were manufactured locally.
His descendants owned the mansion until the 19th century.
The mansion has been in decay since the Communist rule. Workers were moved in, walls torn down and it was transformed into the administrative building of the local cooperative. It served as
hospital, kindergarten and slaughter house.
The building is located in the heart of the local cooperative. The cooperative seems to be dying. We have seen a collapsed building, rotting hay and some stables through the old fence.
The guards were very kind, they let us in and we could poke around.
I have seen some cows and workers dealing with their milk. I was thinking about not drinking milk anymore.
The mansion is surrounded by vegetation. I have seen used condoms and campfires in the grass.
It"s one of the most remarkable Renaissance buildings of Central Europe.
Its windows are missing. Bricks are falling from the walls. Ugly storage spaces are attached to the towers. Mold covers the rooms. Some Renaissance frescoes are visible behind the peeling "new" paint.
Entire balconies are missing. The rusty equipment of the old slaughterhouse is there.
Someone told us that the cooperative and the castle were bought by a wealthy businessman.
I hope it's true and he will save the mansion.

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.)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallstatt_culture
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.
