Obra do libanês Rizkallah Jorge Tahan, o mesmo empreendedor que criou a Casa da Bóia na rua Florêncio de Abreu, o Palacete São Jorge também é outra das obras criadas por ele. Fica no número 256 da rua Carlos de Souza Nazaré. As construções de Rizkallah tinham como objetivo abrigar sua família (sua residência ficava na avenida Paulista, esquina com a rua Bela Cintra) e também abrigar seus conterrâneos que vinham para o Brasil.

St Michael is a Jesuit church in Munich, southern Germany, the largest Renaissance church north of the Alps. The style of the building had an enormous influence on Southern German early Baroque architecture.
The church was built by William V, Duke of Bavaria between 1583 and 1597 as a spiritual center for the Counter Reformation.[1] The foundation stone was laid in 1585.[2]
In order to realise his ambitious plans for the church and the adjoining college, Duke William had 87 houses in the best location pulled down, ignoring the protests of the citizens.[3] The church was erected in two stages. In the first stage (1583-88), the church was built by the model of Il Gesù in Rome and given a barrel-vaulted roof by an unknown architect, the vault being the largest in the world apart from that of St Peter's in Rome, spanning freely more than 20 meters. When the church was built, there were doubts about the stability of the vaulting. But it was the tower that collapsed in 1590, destroying the just completed quire. [4] Duke William V took it as a bad omen and so planned to build a much larger church. The second phase of construction continued until the consecration of the church in 1597.[5] Friedrich Sustris built on to the undamaged nave a new quire and a transept and a magnificent facade.[6] The church is 78.2 meters long, 20.3 meters wide and 28.2 meters high.
The facade is impressive and contains standing statues of Duke Wilhelm and earlier rulers of the Bavarian Wittelsbach dynasty, cast in bronze, in the form of a family tree.[7] Hubert Gerhard's large bronze statue between the two entrances shows the Archangel Michael fighting for the Faith and killing the Evil in the shape of a humanoid demon.
The interior is a representation of the triumph of Catholicism as true Christianity during the Counter-Reformation. The heavily indented chancel arch as well as the short side aisles and even the side chapels are designed as a triumphal arch to ancient model. A very deep choir room adjoins the mighty nave. The stucco decoration of the nave represents the life of Jesus Christ. The altarpiece "Annunciation" was created by Peter Candid (1587). The sculpture of the holy angel in the nave from Hubert Gerhard (1595) was originally intended for the tomb of William V, which was not completed.
Having suffered severe damage during the Second World War, the church was restored in 1946-48. Finally, between 1980 and 1983, the stucco-work was restored.
It's the same building as this:

Taplow Building, Primrose hill

The "Tackle Shop" in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire. Situated on the Town's Bridge Road, this is, in fact, the Tackle Shop's second home. Founded in the 1950s in Tooley Street as a specialist angling shop, the business was taken over in the early 1960s by Bill Marriott & his wife. They built it up into being a highly successful business, and when Bill decided to retire, he had no difficulty in selling the shop on to Trevor & Carole Moss, who took over in around 1977.
The fortunes of the shop continued to rise, and quickly expanded into the next door premesis, but by around 1983 the shop had outgrown it's Tooley Street home, and this building was purpose built with the help of a new business partner.

Built: 2007
This 36-story condo tower was designed by the Chicago office of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill architects. It was the tallest residential building in Wisconsin when it was built. The building to the right is the Kilbourn Tower.
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.
