Bellevue, Iowa
Constructed in 1843 on Big Mill Creek. Local limestone was used in the foundation, like in most other local buildings. It passed through several different families until the mill was closed in 1969. It later became a restaraunt and bed and breakfast but currently is vacant and for sale. It is the oldest grist mill in the State of Iowa and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

In 1835 began the construction of the 'new' castle Enghuizen. In 1842 the building was ready. The palace-like house was built in Italian palazzo style and had very luxurious furnishings. The castle was surrounded by a beautiful park, with ponds iron bridges.
On March 25, 1945 the building was damaged by a bombing by allied aircraft. Thanks to the heavy walls of the castle there was mainly glass and wood damage.
After the liberation careless Canadian troups caused a fire and the castle was damaged severely. Because of the high costs of reconstruction the place was demolished instead in 1948.

The Italian Chapel is a highly ornate Catholic chapel on Lamb Holm in the Orkney Islands. It was built during World War II by Italian prisoners of war, who were housed on the previously uninhabited island while they constructed the Churchill Barriers to the east of Scapa Flow. Only the concrete foundations of the other buildings of the prisoner-of-war camp survive. It was not completed until after the end of the war, and was restored in the 1960s and again in the 1990s.
Irisvej 21 (built in 1920), 8260 Viby J.
Irisvej is part of the Rosenvænget-district, one of the oldest areas of Viby. Like many streets in this district, it is extremely narrow and not really suited for modern traffic at all.
In recent years, some of the original houses have either been demolished and replaced with new ones, or heavily modernized.
From a registrant photowalk series made for the local historical society. The purpose of these walks is not to take photos of individual buildings, but rather to document the streets as a whole in order to preserve the views for future generations.
Some houses will inevitably be obscured behind fences and hedges. In such cases, there will be a photo of the hedge or fence in question. The photo will, of course, be rubbish, but it will accurately show the best possible view from a public road. Over the years, fences and hedges will come and go (as will the houses), sometimes improving the views, other times, the opposite. Also, in some cases, there's a choice between a (reasonably) unobstructed view, but poor lighting conditions, or a severely obstructed view, but better lighting.
I respect people's privacy and generally use the following guidelines...
I blur: license plates of private vehicles parked by private (1- or 2-family) homes, legible names on mailboxes, recognizable faces in fore- or middleground of a photo. I do NOT blur: license plates of commercial vehicles, license plates of private vehicles in traffic (unless in very prominent position), license plates of parked private vehicles by apartment buildings and shops, faces in the background of a photo. For the same reasons, some photos will be downloadable, others not... download (generally) enabled for: public buildings, generic views (streets, nature, events etc.), apartment buildings. Download disabled for: private homes (1- or 2-family), photos of special importance to me.

Here we're parked in front of Reynolds Coliseum, home of the Wolfpack men's basketball program from 1949 to 1999. You can almost feel Everett Case, David Thompson, Jim Valvano, "Fire and Ice", and so many other NCSU baskeball legends in the building. The men's team moved to the sparkling, new (but slightly soulless) RBC Center in '99, but the ladies' team still calls Reynolds home.
Part of the old Bethel Hospital, on the Bethel Street side, (surprise, surprise).

St. Patrick's church count among its congregation a sizable Filipino community. It was first built in 1872 then restored in 1906 in the aftermath of the great San Francisco earthquake. It is today registered as the city's Landmark No. 4 (December 2010).
Wall remains of workmen's building at Correen Quarry, above Terpersie House near Alford. It appears that the buildings were no longer in use by 1900, and the rooves had been removed. The wall shows the natural cleavage of the stone, illustrating how useful it was for paving and flagstones. stone is Andalusite-cordierite schist
A twenty-one storey housing block, with at least five columns of apartments, rises above the street. Cars are parked either side of the street, and power cables for building and trams cut the sky. One cable looks like it's running alongside the edge of the tower roof, in a pleasing illusion. There are public telephone booths near the towers. The towers are a light browny-grey colour, with darker brown rectangles under each row of main apartment windows. On the fifth floor wall, the words "Our Home" are formed in blue LED tubing. Eucalyptus trees adorn the footpath and a park next to the tower block.
