The Clarion is a 17 storey hotel located on the River Shannon on Steamboat Quay in Limerick. I was a bit surprised by the surrounding area which at best could be described as showing serious signs on urban decay and depression. Steamboat Quay is ugly and badly maintained and there is a very ugly pile of scrap metal in the docklands next door to the hotel. There are many derelict sites, empty or uncompleted building in the surrounding streets.
This abandoned and overgrown house is located on West McMicken Avenue in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. An intact example of a wood-frame false front narrow Italianate urban house, the house appears to have been vacant for quite some time, and could be threatened with demolition despite being in the city’s historic Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. However, though the southern part of the neighborhood below Liberty Street and the portion around Findlay Market have renovated buildings and high land value, the sections in the north and east of the neighborhood still have a large stock of dilapidated, derelict, and vacant buildings, some of which may not be able to hold out until the wave of development reaches them.
The so-called Saar cathedral (official name: Catholic parish church of the Holy Sacrament) is considered the largest religious building in the Saarland. It is the parish church of the parish of Holy Sacrament and is dominating beside the imposing backdrop of the blast furnace Dillinger Hütte the cityscape of Dillingen.
The church was built between 1910 and 1913 mainly in Neo-Romanesque style, however, shows in the for the historicism characteristic eclectic style, especially in the design of the towers, also echoes of Gothic models. The floor plan describes a Latin cross. The building consists of a nave with two aisles (basilica), transepts towards the west and east as well as an apse towards the north with a ring of chapels. The crossing is crowned by a crossing tower, also characterizing the twin (asymmetric) facade with its rose window.
As the former parish church of St. John during the industrial boom had become too small for the immensely grown population, the construction of a new, larger parish church at the then northern edge of the city was planned and under the former pastor Dr. Matthias Prior, who afterwards also his grave lay in Saardom got tackled. After three years of construction, the new church in 1913 could be consecrated. Due to a further increment of the city, especially also in the lying north of the new Saar Dom areas, the in the South of the city located St. John's Church (henceforth commonly referred to as the old church) again became seat of an own parish.
Der so genannte Saardom (amtlicher Name: Katholische Pfarrkirche Heilig Sakrament) gilt als größter Sakralbau im Saarland. Er ist die Pfarrkirche der Pfarrei Hl. Sakrament und dominiert neben der imposanten Hochofenkulisse der Dillinger Hütte das Stadtbild von Dillingen.
Die Kirche wurde zwischen 1910 und 1913 vorwiegend im neoromanischen Stil erbaut, lässt aber in der für den Historismus bezeichnenden eklektizistischen Manier vor allem in der Gestaltung der Türme auch Anklänge an gotische Vorbilder erkennen. Der Grundriss beschreibt ein lateinisches Kreuz. Der Bau besteht aus einem Langhaus mit zwei Seitenschiffen (Basilika), Querschiffen nach Westen und Osten, sowie einer Apsis nach Norden mit Kapellenkranz. Die Vierung wird von einem Vierungsturm bekrönt, der auch die doppeltürmige (asymmetrische) Fassade mit ihrer Rosette prägt.
Als im Zuge des industriellen Aufschwungs die bisherige Pfarrkirche St. Johann für die immens angewachsene Bevölkerung zu klein geworden war, wurde der Bau einer neuen, größeren Pfarrkirche am damaligen Nordrand der Stadt geplant und unter dem damaligen Pfarrer Dr. Matthias Prior, der dann auch seine Grablege im Saardom erhielt, in Angriff genommen. Nach einer dreijährigen Bauzeit konnte die neue Kirche 1913 konsekriert werden. Bedingt durch ein weiteres Anwachsen der Stadt, vor allem auch in die nördlich des neuen Saardomes gelegenen Gebiete, wurde die im Süden der Stadt befindliche Johanneskirche (im Volksmund fortan die alt Kirch genannt) wieder Sitz einer eigenen Pfarrei.

Scottish people dominated the engineering and shipbuilding industries in all countries to which they migrated. A pair of Scottish brothers, the Duncans, founded one of NZ’s leading early foundries and engineering works in 1865.
The building bearing their name (built in 1903) is at 204 St.Asaph Street, Christchurch NZ beside Buchanan's City Foundry. It has a Heritage NZ Cat.II listing.

The Winthrop Building, 276-78 Washington St., bounded by Spring Lane, Washington, Water and Devonshire Streets, Boston, MA. This is the first steel framed building in Boston.
On our drive down to Panama City Beach we pass through Eufaula on highway 431.
It's odd because the busy highway funnels through this completely out of place area with these great-looking homes. I'm not sure why there is no bypass, but this time we decided to stop and take pictures of some of the wonderful houses along the road.
A typical general store from the south Wales industrial valleys. The shop is divided into three sections, on two floors, and includes ironmongery and grocery displays. In 1880 William Llewellyn developed his grocery business by building this shop. The original building was just the central section, flanked by the storeroom and Llewellyn's house. The shop was fitted with mahogany shelving, counters and bins by Parnalls of Bristol, and by 1912 the ground floor of the house had been taken over and a drapery established. The shop soon expanded to include the first floor and the ground floor of the adjoining three houses. By 1916, Gwalia Stores comprised a bakery, ironmongery, grocery, gentlemen's outfitters, chemist and a section selling animal feeds. Members of staff slept in the attics and were paid 8 shillings (40p) per week. Alderman Llewellyn died in 1924 and the shop has been shown as it would have been in the late 1920s in the ownership of his sons. It closed in 1973 and was moved to the museum in 1988.
