St. George is a city located in the southwestern part of the U.S. state of Utah, and the county seat of Washington County, Utah. It is the principal city of and is included in the St. George, Utah, Metropolitan Statistical Area. The city is 119 miles northeast of Las Vegas, Nevada, and 303 miles south of Salt Lake City on Interstate 15.
As of the 2010 U.S. Census, St. George had a population of 72,897. From 1990, St. George became one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas within the United States. This trend continued through 2007, when growth slowed substantially. In 2009, the metropolitan area (defined as Washington County) had an estimated 137,473 residents.
St. George is the population and commercial center of Utah's Dixie, a nickname given to the area when Mormon pioneers grew cotton in the warm climate. St. George's trademark is its geology — red bluffs make up the northern part of the city with two peaks covered in lava rock in the city's center. The northeastern edges of the Mojave Desert are visible to the south. Zion National Park can be seen to the east, and the Pine Valley Mountains loom over the city to the north and northwest. The climate has more in common with the Desert Southwest than the rest of the state, with scorching hot summers and mild, mostly snowless winters.

I sprayed on the stucco 'till I thought I'd faint
With twelve shades of brown and for real I cain't...
Believe all the blandness, oh no artist I ain't
But it's my destiny to be the King of Paint
Finally, I figured out something fitting (albeit strange) for that song!
Yes, the new Taco Bell looks to be already past the stucco and paint stage, at least on the exterior (minus painting the confetti if they do that here), and that's right at one mere month from pouring the foundation! In this pic grooves in the stucco for confetti (on the top of the walls) are clearly visible.
If the old TB remains standing after all (looks like it very well might), the new building will have no choice but to assume the 1117 address that the construction crew is using. Will the old building be re-addressed correctly when Taco Bell vacates? I doubt it but stay tuned...
A little further downstream from Hope Mill.
The Lang Mill was built in 1846. Flour was produced here until 1956. The building is constructed of limestone blocks.

Built: 1914 to 1923 - Architect: John Smith Murdoch - Architectural style: Inter-War Beaux-Arts
The Perth General Post Office is a fine example of monumental civic architecture and one of a precinct of Commonwealth buildings which introduced Beaux-Arts monumentalism to the city.
The imposing building has seven main storeys plus basement and roof level rooms. It has a concrete encased steel frame faced with brick and stone. The ground floor of the east elevation is faced with granite from Mahogany Creek with Donnybrook sandstone above. Paired ionic columns rise through three upper storeys. Red brick walls trimmed with stone are set back between stone towers and form the side and back walls.
The design was conceived in 1912 by Commonwealth architect, John Smith Murdoch, in association with Hillson Beasley (Western Australian Public Works Department). The initial contract was signed in 1914 and another (after delays due to a steel embargo and a strike) in 1921 for an additional two storeys. Construction was completed in 1923.

St. Leonard's Street, West Malling, Kent, 21 Sep 2010. The Startled Saint used to be the local pub for the airmen stationed at nearby RAF West Malling. Sadly both the pub and the airfield have closed and been converted.
Located 265 km north of Adelaide, Melrose proudly declares itself the 'oldest town in the Flinders Ranges'. This building was originally constructed as a flour mill in 1878. It was sold in 1893 by T.B. Marshall to Jacka Bros who converted the interior to accommodate their successful brewing enterprise. There were 40 employees and 4 delivery teams on the road in the early 1900's. The brewery closed in 1934 during the economic depression
1898, W. & G. Audsley. This distinctive building fits loosely within the Classical Revival movement of the day but has a bit of an Egyptian look. The AIA guide says, "'Eclectic' was invented for stylistic collections such as this." It housed the White Star Line offices in New York; Cunard was right next door. This was where the traveling public came to book passage.
Open to the public from 7 June to 23 November, 10 am to 6 pm (Arsenale venue 10 am to 8 pm on Fridays and Saturdays until 27 September)

The Theatre of Marcellus (Latin: Theatrum Marcelli, Italian: Teatro di Marcello) is an ancient open-air theatre in Rome, Italy, built in the closing years of the Roman Republic. At the theatre, locals and visitors alike were able to watch performances of drama and song. Today its ancient edifice in the rione of Sant'Angelo, Rome, once again provides one of the city's many popular spectacles or tourist sites. It was named after Marcus Marcellus, Emperor Augustus's nephew, who died five years before its completion. Space for the theatre was cleared by Julius Caesar, who was murdered before it could be begun; the theatre was so far advanced by 17 BC that part of the celebration of the ludi saeculares took place within the theatre; it was completed in 13 BC and formally inaugurated in 12 BC by Augustus.
The theatre was 111 m in diameter; it could originally hold 11,000 spectators. It was an impressive example of what was to become one of the most pervasive urban architectural forms of the Roman world. The theatre was built mainly of tuff, and concrete faced with stones in the pattern known as opus reticulatum, completely sheathed in white travertine. The network of arches, corridors, tunnels and ramps that gave access to the interiors of such Roman theaters were normally ornamented with a screen of engaged columns in Greek orders: Doric at the base, Ionic in the middle. It is believed that Corinthian columns were used for the upper level but this is uncertain as the theater was reconstructed in the Middle Ages, removing the top tier of seating and the columns.
Like other Roman theaters in suitable locations, it had openings through which the natural setting could be seen, in this case the Tiber Island to the southwest. The permanent setting, the scaena, also rose to the top of the cavea as in other Roman theaters.

Broadway Avenue Baptist Church is located south of downtown Fort Worth. The imposing Gothic Revival structure dominates its neighborhood.
Parramatta was founded in 1788, the same year as Sydney. The British Colony, which had arrived in January 1788 in the First Fleet at Sydney Cove, had only enough food to support itself for a short time and the soil around Sydney Cove proved too poor to grow the amount of food that 1,000 convicts, soldiers and administrators needed to survive. During 1788, Governor Arthur Phillip had reconnoitred several places before choosing Parramatta as the most likely place for a successful large farm. Parramatta was the furthest navigable point inland on the Parramatta River (i.e. furthest from the thin, sandy coastal soil) and also the point at which the river became freshwater and therefore useful for farming.
Standing within 200 acres of parkland overlooking historic Parramatta, Old Government House is Australia's oldest public building. For seven decades it was the 'country' residence of the first 10 Governors of the colony, including Governor and Mrs Macquarie who, from 1810 to 1821, preferred the clean air and space of rural Parramatta to the unsanitary and crime ridden streets of Sydney Town.
The central block of the house was built in 1799 by Governor John Hunter, however the appearance of the house today is largely thanks to Governor and Mrs Macquarie. Their 1815 extensions, designed by Macquarie’s Aide, Lieutenant John Watts, transformed the house into an elegant Palladian style residence.

This magnificent building built in 1925 was the residence of a couple with a particular history. An injured World War I soldier was hospitalized in England and reportedly met his future wife, the widow of a wealthy governor. After marrying in Brussels, they built this castle in a Belgian village, with architecture inspired by many trips made by the aristocratic wife. The building has many rich architectural characteristics, with oriental, Art Deco and chinese inspirations. Some receptions were organized for the village inhabitants, and the owner was a time elected alderman of the community.
Both died in 1940, and the castle was bought in 1988 by a wealthy entrepreneur and his wife. As the building was too big for the two of them, they saw the opportunity to turn the space into a luxury hotel, then into a bed and breakfast, before being abandoned, presumably after the couple's death.
Today, this superb place is abandoned and at the mercy of squatters and vandals of the region. One part of the building was recently the target of a fire, in March 2017. Today, the site could be transformed into a nursing home and/or apartment buildings. These photos were taken before the fire.

Cette magnifique bâtisse construite en 1925 était la résidence d’un couple à l’histoire particulière. Un combattant blessé de la Première Guerre Mondiale fut hospitalisé en Angleterre et y aurait rencontré sa future épouse, veuve d’un riche gouverneur. Après s’être mariés à Bruxelles, ils firent construire ce château dans un village de Belgique, avec une architecture inspirée de nombreux voyages effectués par l’épouse aristocrate. Le bâtiment présente en effet de nombreuses et riches caractéristiques architecturales, orientales, Art Déco, ou encore chinoises. Le lieu servit notamment de réception pour des fêtes de village, de même que son propriétaire fut un temps élu échevin de la communauté.

Décédés tous deux en 1940, le château fut racheté en 1988 par un riche entrepreneur et son épouse. Le bâtiment étant trop grand pour eux deux, ils y virent l’opportunité de transformer l’espace libre en hôtel de luxe, puis en Bed & Breakfast, avant d’être laissé à l’abandon, vraisemblablement après le décès du couple.
Aujourd’hui, ce superbe lieu est délaissé et à la merci de squatteurs et vandales de la région. Une partie a récemment été la cible d’un incendie, en mars 2017. On parle actuellement de transformer le site en maison de repos et/ou cité d’appartements. Les présentes photos datent d’avant l’incendie.
