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.

This little homestead barely stands out because the house is so small it looks more like a shed! Someone told me that the Swedish who settled this area painted their homes red so I'm guessing this may be one of those. Can you imagine living here in winter?
Heligan House, the former centrepiece of the Gardens of Heligan, now believed to be flats and not part of the Gardens.
The first large building at Heligan, near Mevagissey in Cornwall, was a manor house constructed in the 13th century, but the gardens date from the 18th century, first noted in 1766. For many years the gardens were developed extensively, with a Chinese Garden and an Italian Garden amongst others, but all came to an abrupt end upon the outbreak of war in August 1914. The shelterbelt trees were cut down for the war effort, the house became a convalescent home, almost all of the staff went off to war, and the gardens went untended and soon became overgrown.
The much quoted "it's an ill wind that blows nobody any good" really applies here as it was the devasting storm (the so-called hurricane) of October 1990 that revealed the first clue as to what had been here and set in train a process that is ongoing. Since then, the work of many dedicated people, paid and unpaid, has recreated much of what the gardens once were, in an ongoing project that is the largest garden restoration in Europe.

Constructed between 1901-06, it is the last commercial building left in town. The post office moved into it in 1950 and still uses the original 1890s PO boxes. The building is listed on the NRHP.
This was taken back in 2008. I have not been back to the Philippines since 1985. I shot this using my D90 and only shot jpg since I didn't know much about exposure, raw or PP.

The Museum of Jewish Heritage, located at 36 Battery Place in battery Park City, opened in 1997 as a living memorial to the Holocaust. The museum's $21.5 million core building was designed by Kevin Roche of Roche-Dinkeloo. The core building features a six-sided shape and a six-tiered, louvered roof rising 85 feet in the air, which are reminiscent of the six-pointed Star of David and symbolic of the six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust. The four-story Robert M. Morgentheau Wing opened in 2003, adding 82,000-square feet of exhibition space and Andy Goldsowrth's Garden of Stones.
La rivière Chicago s'étend sur 251 kilomètres. Elle traverse le centre-ville de Chicago (Illinois). Au xixe siècle, pour des raisons sanitaires, de grands travaux ont détourné son cours vers le sud en direction du fleuve Mississippi, en sens inverse du lac Michigan où elle se jetait jusque-là. On la connaît également en raison de la coutume locale de teindre ses eaux en vert pour la Saint-Patrick.
North American Rayon Corp was a one time a HUGE complex that produced rayon and polystyrene products from the 20's through the 90's. The North American and the neighboring Bemberg plants have sat abandoned for over a decade. A local told me that In the early 2000's the North American plant was incinerated in a fire that took 8 days to extinguish. Only a few buildings remain.
Most of the land has been redeveloped for big box stores which now sit adjacent to these harbingers of what once was America's strength- manufacturing. Much like my own hometown, and so many other American towns, Elizabethton manufactures nothing of note. The only jobs that remain are retail jobs that don't pay a living wage. Yay for free trade!!! Let's keep crushing the American economy.
While I do enjoy industrial exploration immensely, sites like these are a poignant reminder something has gone terribly wrong with the American economy. Our way of life is crumbling right before our eyes, just like these beautiful, great behemoths of manufacturing and industry.

MR GORDON DUFF'S GIFT TO HOPEMAN.
War Memorial Committee have now obtained from Mr Gordon Duff, the proprietor, a site for the Memorial Hall. The site, which adjoins the Drill Hall, is one of the most commanding in the village. Plans are being prepared by the architects, and it hoped to commence building an early date. Gordon Duff has also intimated that he intends presenting to the village a piece of ground, stretching along the shore from the school to the boundary of the "Lodge" grounds, about 30 acres in extent, for the benefit of the villagers. The Committee of Management of the Memorial Hall have agreed to act as trustees for the people, and it was decided to express to Gordon Duff their appreciation of his interest in the welfare of Hopeman.

This appears to me to be Sheldon north from Oakes in the late20s. That is the Hotel Browning on the right later Ferguson-Droste-Ferugson Hospital. Next to it was a Buick dealership in the 20s, later it was a Chrysler/Plymouth dealership, Imperial Motors. The Art Prize/UICA building is on the left, it was also a car dealership, originall Becker Auto, looks like it is Allen-Wilcox in this shot, a Pontiac dealer. You can see the YMCA, YWCA & the LLC. The Watson Mansion is gone at the corner of Sheldon and Fulton replaced by the Watson Building. It and its neighbor the Medical Arts building are still on that corner.

901 Main - 1985
Jarvis, Putty, Jarvis of Dallas designed this signature building of Dallas. It is the city's tallest skyscraper at 921 feet and 72 stories. It is also the 3rd tallest building in the State of Texas. The plan features several notched corners which allow multiple corner offices per floor. Each of these notches stop at different heights at the top of the building, giving the obviously modern design an "Art Deco" styling. Although the building is predominantly glass, the floors are expressed on the exterior with aluminum spandrel panels. This skyscraper was constructed on land that was originally part of the Main Place development. The Main Place development only had one building constructed, with the remainder of the property sold for this development. A twin tower to the Bank of America Plaza and other buildings were proposed, but plans were scrapped when the economy downturned in the late 1980's. At night, the building is outlined with green argon tubing, making it a very prominent part of the skyline at night. Bank of America is the tenant for which the building is named. KDFW-TV (Fox 4) has a camera located on top of the skyscraper to show views of the city during their newscasts.
