Diakovce, the oldest monument in Slovakia (built by the Benedictine order in the 13th century) - pictures were taken by my grandmother in July 1990, on a tour organized by my father. This was our first trip together with my future wife.
A deáki középkori bencés templom Szlovákiában - a képeket 1990-es autóbuszos kirándulásunk alkalmával készítette Nagymamám.
1001-ben I. István bencéseket telepített ide, ettől kezdve a pannonhalmi apátság birtoka volt. 1002-ben a pannonhalmi apátság alapítólevelében mai Deáki régi Wag nevén szintén az adományozott birtokok közt szerepel. 1090-ben Szent László király oklevelében is még Wag néven említik. 1138-ban II. Béla király oklevele Vágfölötti Salaföld néven említi. 1228-ban épített kéttornyú román stílusú temploma Szlovákia legrégibb műemléke. Az itteni bencések használták a Pray-kódexként ismert 13. századi latin szertartáskönyvet, melyben a Halotti beszéd is olvasható. Legrégibb része az 1103-ban épített Szent István kápolna.
Foundation stone 15 May 1860 by Thomas Quinton Stow as Congregational, architects Edmund Wright & G A Hamilton, opened 22 Feb 1861. Tower & dome 1871.
“The style selected by the architects is Venetian Ionic, and in its general arrangements seems to us very appropriate for the occasion. The first elevation consists of a handsome rusticated doorway, and of -side entrances into lobbies intended for staircases to the future galleries. Above the centre doorway is a bell-tower surmounted by a dome, with lantern and cross. The main entrance will be very massive and bold . . . The side elevation is divided into six bays by Ionic columns surmounted by a massive cornice and balustrade. Each bay has a very handsome Venetian circular-headed window in two lights, with shafts and foliated caps from which the arches spring.” [Chronicle 19 May 1860 p 3]
“The North Adelaide Congregational Church is the most conspicuous object in that part of the city, and at a distance looks more like a Court House or Town Hall than a place of worship; a closer inspection, however, shows the object for which it was built. . . It is certainly a beautiful building to look upon. A handsome flight of marble steps leads to the lobby, which is under the massive square tower. A stranger would wonder why such a number of steps are necessary to reach the audience room, and his wonder would not be dispelled unless he was informed that under the chapel proper there was a large Sunday school room, and other smaller rooms used for ecclesiastical purposes.” [Bunyip 23 Mar 1872]
“Most of our readers will remember the rugged and unfinished state which this building was in when first the congregation used it for worship. The interior had unplastered walls, no pews. . . The motive of opening the building in this unusual state was to keep out of debt . . . and over a year ago it was resolved to finish that and the lecture hall beneath, erect the tower, and enclose the edifice with a suitable iron railing, provision being also made for the accommodation of horses and vehicles. . . The railing, which is from the foundry of Mr. H. B. Hawke, of Kapunda, is neat, harmonizes with the style of the building, and is a very creditable specimen of colonial manufacture.” [Register 15 Jul 1872]
“The congregations, as a whole, had been good, although during the summer months many persons had been away in the hills, at the coast, or in Melbourne.” [Advertiser 23 Mar 1881]

A church was originally built on or near the site by Saint Kentigern in the 6th century (other sources say Saint Elwy in 560). Saint Asa (or Asaph), a grandson of Pabo Post Prydain, followed after this date.
The earliest parts of the present building date from the 13th century when a new building was begun on the site after the original stone cathedral was burnt by King Edward I in 1282.
(AND THE KIDS WERE PRACTISING FOR HARVEST FESTIVAL WHICH MADE IT EVEN MORE SPECIAL)
The story is that in 1997 three Buddha statues were supposed to be transported from Mandalay to China. Right at this spot one fell off the truck and nobody would manage to put it back on. So a collection was made and a new pagoda was built around the Buddha statue.
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.

Presqu'ile | Place de la Comédie
A first theatre was built here by Soufflot during the 18th century. Nevertheless, the theatre soon became too small and a brand new one in a neo-classical style has been rebuilt.
Arch. Antoine-Marie Chenavard and Jean-Marie Pollet
1830-31.
At the beginning of the 1980s, out of age and not meeting the needs any more, the Opera had to be renewed.
Arch. Jean Nouvel
1986-93.
Outside the opera house, Nouvel only kept the outer walls. He also dug new underground levels and added a semi-cylindrical dome that is used by dancers. On the opera house front wall, 8 muses have been kept in place (Uranie, the 9th one was removed to respect the symmetry of the building).
En la casa anterior a la actual se inslaló por primera vez en Madrid el gran Velázquez, recién llegado a la Corte de su Sevilla natal. Constatación histórica, que como otras relacionadas con hechos y personajes, otorgan gran valor a la ciudad de Madrid. Toparse de pronto en cualquier rincón con esta clase de constataciones, resulta altamente emocionante.
Within 5 years, not one of the buildings/structures in this photo will remain, thanks to the Ocean Plaza redevelopment scheme.
This building is still in use as a hotel but what not many people know is a church and cemetary sat on this spot. The church was gone by the time they wanted to put up the hotel in the late 1960s but the cemetary was still there. The graves were dug up and moved where i don't know. I have photos of the church yard when i find them i'll be sure to put them on.

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.
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.

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.
