Craigmillar castle is a castle situated five kilometres south-east of the centre of the city of Edinburgh. It was begun in the late 14th century by the Preston family, who were lairds of Craigmillar. In 1660 the castle was sold to Sir John Gilmour. The Gilmours left Craigmillar castle in the 18th century and it fell into ruin.Craigmillar castle is best known for its association with Mary I of Scotland. Following the birth of her son, the future James I of England, Mary arrived at Craigmillar on November 20, 1566 to convalesce. Before leaving on December 7, 1566, a pact was made there, with or without her knowledge, to dispose of her husband Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley.
Craigmillar Castle became overgrown and ruinous over the following two centuries, and was passed into state care in 1946. Today it is cared for by Historic Scotland. What makes Craigmillar special is the extent to which its underlying structure survives. The inner courtyard may now be home to two very impressive trees that were certainly not there in the Prestons' time in the castle. But the walls of almost all the structures of the castle survive, together with all the vaulted floors. This means access is possible up to roof level in the tower house and first floor level in large parts of the rest of the building. There is also a complete wall walk around two sides of the curtain wall.

Architects; Terry Farrell & Nicholas Grimshaw, late 60s.
(Farrell Grimshaw Partnership 1965-1980)
Younger generation may not know that these two architects started their joint practice in 1965 which lasted till 1980. They also worked on ‘service pods/clusters’ for London housing. Their work was innovative and high-tech, very much in the traditions of Archigram.
It is obvious now that both architects had their own routes plotted which they wanted to follow separately. Grimshaw continued with high-tech approach while Farrell was more eclectic and toyed with the post modernism for a while.
This apartment scheme was one of their earliest projects. The central load bearing core and perimeter columns allowed great deal of flexibility of floor plans. Ribbon windows with rounded corners gave good views over the Regents Park. Nick Grimshaw lived in one of the apartments for six years. This building was listed as Grade II in 2001.

The exterior of London St.Pancras stands resplendent in the spring sunshine having been fully restored and cleaned. The Former Midland Railway terminus is now home to International 'Eurostar' trains from mainland Europe as well as East Midlands trains to the former Midland Railway heartland. Another new comer using platforms built beside the north end of the train shed is South Eastern High Speed with services to Kent via the High Speed line.
The Midland Railway was always seen as a 'provincial' operator by its near neighbours the GNR at Kings Cross and LNWR at Euston. So to upstage both the Midland Railway built this grandiose terminus in 1868 with a single span trainshed roof. The canopy roof was the largest in the world at the time being 245ft 6in wide and 105ft above rail height at its apex. The station frontage seen here was the Midland Railway Hotel now known as the 'Renaisance Hotel'. The Gothic building being designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott and was completed in 1874. To think in the 1970's this fine structure was scheduled for demolition but survived thanks to the efforts of Sir John Betjamin who is remember in a bronze statue now standing on the former concourse.
Built in 1892 on the rise of a hill in the prominent location of the corner of Bromfield and Corangamite Streets in Colac, stands the grand two-storey red brick residence, "Lislea House".
"Lislea House" was built for Doctor Wynne, a local practitioner, for his use as a stylish residence and surgery. "Lislea House" has been constructed in the popular Federation Queen Anne style, which was mostly a residential style established in the 1890s which was inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement in England, but also encompassed some of the more stylised elements of Art Nouveau, which gave it an more decorative look. "Lislea House" has a very complex roofline, which is typical of the Federation Queen Anne architectural movement, as is the steeply pitched roof, ornate wooden fretwork that graces the return verandah and the exaggerated height of the chimneys.
Queen Anne style was most popular around the time of Federation. With complex roofline structures, ornamental towers of unusual proportions and undulating facades, many Queen Anne houses fell out of fashion at the beginning of the modern era, and were demolished.
Doctor Wynne was a prominent and popular figure in the Colac community. Born in Armagh, the county town of County Armagh in Northern Ireland in 1857, Doctor Wynne studied medicine at Dublin University. He migrated to Australia after gaining his degree and took over the Colac practice of Doctor Porter in the late 1880s. He was interested in public affairs and in the forwarding and improvement of Colac; becoming a patron of many establishments in the town including, the Colac Fire Brigade and the Colac Free Library. He even established a local newspaper the "Daily News". He was one of the original shareholders of the Colac Dairying Company, the Colac dairy farmers' co-operative. Doctor Wynne enjoyed horse racing and he and his wife entertained at their fine house often. Doctor Wynne died at "Lislea House" in 1915 as a result of complications. caused by a weak heart.
The descendants of Doctor Wynne no longer live in "Lislea House", and after some years of neglect, it has been restored internally and externally to its original splendor, as well as having had some modern day comforts added. It now serves as self contained apartments which take advantage of the house's location so close to the town's centre.
Located approximately 150 kilometres to the south-west of Melbourne, past Geelong is the small Western District city of Colac. The area was originally settled by Europeans in 1837 by pastoralist Hugh Murray. A small community sprung up on the southern shore of a large lake amid the volcanic plains. The community was proclaimed a town, Lake Colac, in 1848, named after the lake upon which it perches. The post office opened in 1848 as Lake Colac and was renamed Colac in 1854 when the city changed its name. The township grew over the years, its wealth generated by the booming grazing industries of the large estates of the Western District and the dairy industry that accompanied it. Colac has a long high street shopping precinct, several churches, botanic gardens, a Masonic hall and a smattering of large properties within its boundaries, showing the conspicuous wealth of the city. Today Colac is still a commercial centre for the agricultural district that surrounds it with a population of around 10,000 people. Although not strictly a tourist town, Colac has many beautiful surviving historical buildings or interest, tree lined streets. Colac is known as “the Gateway to the Otways” (a reference to the Otway Ranges and surrounding forest area that is located just to the south of the town).

In 1825, the young landscape painter Charles Mozin discovered Trouville, a little fishing port in Normandy. In Paris, he exhibited his Trouville paintings to other artists who later followed him to the new found paradise : Isabey, Monet, Corot, Boudin, Proust, Dumas, Flaubert. During the Second Empire, from 1852 to 1870, Trouville became a very famous seaside resort. It was during this glorious period that villas, splendid hotels and casinos were built along the beach. Quiter and less expensive than its neighbour town Deauville, Trouville is since the 19th century a much appreciated tourist destination for Parisians and other French and international travellers.

In 1825, tânǎrul pictor de peisaje Charles Mozin a descoperit Trouville, un mic port pescǎresc din Normandia. La Paris, şi-a expus picturile având ca subiect Trouville altor artişti, care ulterior l-au urmat pentru a descoperi noul paradis: Isabey, Monet, Corot, Boudin, Proust, Dumas, Flaubert. In timpul celui de-al doilea Imperiu (1852-1870), Trouville a devenit o foarte cunoscutǎ staţiune maritimǎ. In aceastǎ perioadǎ de glorie s-au construit splendidele vile şi hoteluri, dar şi cazinourile din lungul plajei. Mai liniştitǎ şi mai puţin scumpǎ decât staţiunea învecinatǎ, Deauville, Trouville a devenit încǎ din secolul al XIX-lea o destinaţie turisticǎ foarte apreciatǎ pentru parizieni, ca şi pentru cǎlǎtori din toatǎ Franţa şi din alte ţǎri.

The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) Memorial Continental Hall, on 17th Street, between C and D Streets, NW, was designed from 1904-1910 by Edward Pearce Casey in the classical revival style of the beaux-arts. It is the oldest building of the DAR complex.
DMemorial Continental Hall hosted the Conference on the Limitation of Armaments in the wake of WWI, also known as the Washington Naval Conference, Washington Arms Conference, or simply Washington Conference, from November 12, 1921 to February 6, 1922 with delegates from nine nations including Great Britain, France, Italy, the United States, and Japan discussing limits on the proliferation of arms. Though the results of this effort were fully discredited by the 1930s and 1940s, for a decade these pacts did stabilize the armaments race and establish an embryonic security system in the Pacific.
Encompassing an entire city block, the DAR complex is one of the world's largest buildings of its kind owned and maintained exclusively by women. The headquarters consist of Memorial Continental Hall, Constitution Hall, added in 1929 by John Russell Pope and the Administration Building.
A magtataho finds a costumer in front of the Bocaue church. The Franciscans built the first building of light materials in 1578 that was replaced by Fr. Pedro Delos Santos (OFM) with a stronger structure in 1606. Afterwards, the church underwent a series of rebuilding and improvements until it was destroyed by fire in 1868. It was rebuilt and razed again during the Philippine Revolution of 1898. The church has been rebuilt and restored/repaired/improved several times since then.

Benicia Capitol State Historic Park is a state park in Benicia, California. The park is dedicated to California’s third capitol building, where the California State Legislature convened from February 3, 1853 to February 24, 1854. It is the only pre-Sacramento capitol that survives. The park includes the Fischer-Hanlon House, an early Benicia building that was moved to the property and converted into a home in 1858, after the legislature departed. Benicia Capitol State Historic Park just off the city's main street also includes a carriage house, workers' quarters and sculptured gardens.
California’s Capitals
The first capital existed before statehood, under both Spanish and Mexican rule. From 1775 to 1846, Monterey was the capital of Alta California. On July 7, 1846, Commodore John D. Sloat raised the American flag over Monterey.
In 1849, the new constitution crafted at Monterey’s Colton Hall made the city of San Jose the seat of California’s first state government. During San Jose’s 1849-1851 session, the building’s low ceilings, bad lighting and poor ventilation led the lawmakers to seek another location. Dubbed the
“Legislature of a Thousand Drinks,” for calls to close the session at the nearest saloon, this group was happy to accept
General Mariano Vallejo’s offer to build a new capitol in Vallejo at no cost to them.
On January 5, 1852, they arrived to find total chaos. That day the Sacramento Daily Union reported: “The furniture, fixtures, etc., are not yet in their places; many of them have not yet
arrived . . . no printing materials . . . music of the saw and hammer heard night and day.” There was almost no local housing, food or laundry service. Eleven days later, the legislators moved to Sacramento. On January 3, 1853, the fourth session began in Vallejo but moved mid-session — to the newly constructed city hall in Benicia.
The town, named for General Vallejo’s wife, Doña Francisca Benicia Carrillo de Vallejo, offered them the structure that was to be their city hall. Its interior pillars were carved from the masts of salvaged ships abandoned in San Francisco Bay during the gold rush. The town’s meager amenities, however,
caused the legislators to leave in 1854 during the fifth session.
On March 4, the governor, the state officers and members of the legislature boarded the paddle-wheeler Wilson G. Hunt and headed upstream to Sacramento. At the confluence of
the Sacramento and American rivers, Sacramento had had one brief tenure as California’s capital. Despite its history
of floods and fires, the Legislature again chose Sacramento as the state capital.
Lawmakers held sessions at its county courthouse from 1854 to 1869. Construction on today’s Sacramento capitol began in 1860. Eager to meet in their own space, lawmakers moved into the present building in 1874, five years before it was completed.
Benicia’s fast-moving, exciting days were over, but its fortunes would grow in other directions. Benicia, a busy port city, was served by the international Pacific Mail Steamship
Company. Later, the Southern Pacific Railroad created a terminal and ferry crossing there. Its many educational institutions earned Benicia the nickname “Athens of the West.”
After a short stint as the Solano County Courthouse, the building housed Episcopal church services and the Benicia Grammar School.
Eventually a wing was built as the headquarters for Benicia’s Fire Department, and the public library also moved there. In 1951, the California Division of Beaches and Parks acquired the Benicia Capitol and restored the chambers to look as they might have appeared between January 1853 and February 1854. The State Park and Recreation Commission later reclassified the property as a State Historic Park.
