After this building was used to power the streetcars, it became Billings Feed. They are presently located at 221 N. Main in RO and their website states:
Billings started in the 1940's as a small feed store in downtown Royal Oak, selling everything from chicken scratch to dog food even hay for the horses. In the 1950's we decided to tackle a new beast and take on lawn equipment.We started out strictly selling mowers for the residential customer, but quickly started handling commercial equipment like Bobcat and Locke. In 2001 we relocated to our present facility (221 N. Main St.) as we transitioned the feed business out of our inventory and focused all of our time into the power equipment industry.
Wine market in works for old trolley building in downtown Royal Oak
metromode, 2/28/2008
A once empty oddity in downtown Royal Oak is now fully occupied since Cloverleaf Fine Wine announced plans to move into the St. Clair Edison building's basement space.
"We decided a downtown location would be much better as far as visibility," says Michael Chetcuti, owner of Cloverleaf and the St. Clair Edison building. "The basement with all of the reclaimed brick should be a wine cellar."
The business (moving from Southfield) is expected to open in mid March. Chetcuti, rehabbed the building on downtown's south side last year so he could move his cutting-edge automotive firm, Streetcar USA, there.
The structure, 711 S Main St., is more than 100 years old and was originally used to house generators that powered streetcars on Woodward Avenue for 50 years before becoming a warehouse. Its age made it obsolete but its historical character also made it attractive as a new home for the specialty auto technology firm.

According to the Township of Ocean Historical Society:
In close proximity to the site of the Little House stands"an enormous square-sided water tower and adjacent one-story building projecting horizontally from its north elevation." (As described in a July, 2002 report from the Cultural Resource Consulting Group about the property.) The study goes on to say that the water tower and attached farm building "are an eclectic combination of styles that include "Italianate, Federalist and Craftsman. Referencing a New England lighthouse with its obelisk form and wooden clapboard siding, the windowed tower is crowned by Italianate brackets (that) support a flat, overhanging eave that holds a smaller box-like windowed structure which provides the base for a 1 1/2 story, Federalist-inspired clapboard cabin-like shell that was meant to hide the water tank at the top of the tower."
The age and exact purpose of this intriguing tower is unknown, but it was in existence when Florence L. Haupt purchased the property. Her namesake granddaughter (Florence Haupt Teiger) said that the tower was in a decrepit state even then, and recalls that her brother used to chase her up to the rickety tower steps when they were kids. She also remembers the sight of pigeons roosting at its top.
Ira Haupt II recalled that the first floor of the tower held general farm implements, and a laborer was housed on its 2nd floor. A caretaker (called superintendent) of the property also lived in the cottage which was attached to the tower. However, during World War II, Haupt noted that there was no superintendent, and the cottage was rented out to Oakhurst's police chief-Chief Eisele. He kept his riding horse, called Pearl Harbor, in their cow barn. (It was through Chief Eisele that Florence got her love of riding.)
Stuart Haupt served as an Air Raid Warden during WWII. He would go out to Deal Road when the siren blew. Because of the gasoline shortage during the War, the Haupts spent two years (1943-44) living in New York City.

Flat iron building downtown Toronto. Wow, I got a little bit of bokeh out my uwa lens. My first time shooting in this area. I should get out more often.
Many, many people have taken photos of this, but it's still worth doing before it's demolished to make way for Crossrail (the entire block is going).
Following the Riksgatan through the Riksdagshuset - Parliament. We have a clear view of the top of the Storkyrkan - Cathedral on Gamla Stan.
"Until 1905, during the bicameral period, the Swedish Parliament had its seat in Fleming Palace on Riddarholmen Island. It was then moved to a new building on Helgeandsholmen, but in 1971, due to lack of space, it had to be expanded, connecting the old palace with the one that had originally held the National Bank. Upon completion of the work in 1983, the new seat was opened to hold sessions of the unicameral Parliament in an enormous, practicaql, modern hall with the walls entirely pannelled in light birchwood. In the large inner halls, which still have interesting early 20th century architectural elements, including some imposing granite columns and marble staircases, there is an exquisite collection of paintings. Parliament still has some offices in Gamla Stan, which are connected by a network of underground passageways, while other government buildings are located in the City." - Guidebook.
The Juab County Courthouse in Nephi, Utah was originally erected in 1923 as Nephi High School. It wasn't until 1983 that the building was retrofitted to house the county's seat of justice when the old 1892 courthouse became too small and outdated.

vintage postcard ca 1960s: "The Audubon House, (etc.) stands today as it stood in the 1830's, when its windows overlooked a page unique in American history. Its owner, master pilot John Geiger, played host to naturalist James Audubon, who produced many of his famous bird paintings in the upstairs study. This house has been completely restored by Miami businessman Mitchell Wolfson, a Key West native, who has filled the historic building with antiques and treasures of the 18th and 19th centuries, including the rare four-volume 'elephant folio' by Audubon." --photo by Marty Gold

Temple de Borobodur à Java, en Indonésie.
Magnifique architecture, très bien rénovée. A noter que le paysage qui l'entoure est aussi beau que le monument en lui-même: le pays est composé de multiples îles, regorgeant de lieux attrayants pour la vue comme pour le corps ou l'esprit.
La végétation y est luxuriante, les plages y sont magnifiques.
Et que dire des Indonésiens si ce n'est que ce sont un peuple adorable ?
