The Richmond Plaza Building and attached garage is being demolished in downtown Richmond, Virginia. The building, at 7th and Cary Streets, is being torn down by Dominion Resources to make way for their new office building.
I'm lucky that my office and parking garage overlook the site.
As you can see, demolition is down to just the eastern portion.
The Richmond Federal Reserve Building can be seen in the background.
En face des murailles du Kremlin, à hauteur du mausolée de Lénin se trouve le Goum. La façade de cette galérie marchande s'étend sur 250 m.Elle a été bâtie en 1894, dans le style néorusse par Alexandre Pomerantsev et ressemble un peu à sa voisine le Musée National d'Histoire, sauf qu'elle est faite de granit et de marbre blanc. Illuminé par une grande verrière, l'intérieur est constitué de trois très longues galéries reliées entre elles par des passages latéraux et des passerelles. En 1953 le bâtiment devint un prestigieux magasin d'Etat, "Magasin universel", ou les plus priviliégiés de l'URSS pouvaient se procurer ce qui était introuvable ailleurs....
Actuellement ça ressemble beaucoup à nos Galéries de Lafayette!
When we were in Times Square during my trip to New York City, I got to go see the Toys R Us store they had! It had three different levels and had a Ferris wheel inside! The Lego section was pretty big and had really nice Lego models of New York buildings!

Inveraray enjoys a picturesque setting on the shores of Loch Fyne, where it meets Loch Shira. It was built on the site of an earlier fishing village in the mid 1700s by the 3rd Duke of Argyll, Chief of the powerful Clan Campbell. He demolished the original village to give his rebuilt castle more space, and rehoused the population in a new town that is one of the most attractive in Scotland.
The original village of Inveraray stood in the parkland that now extends south east from Inveraray Castle to the main A83. It had grown following the move of the Campbells to "old" Inveraray Castle in the mid 1400s from their previous stronghold at Innis Chonnell Castle on an island in Loch Awe.
Inveraray was well enough established to become a burgh of barony in 1472 and a royal burgh in 1648. With a good natural harbour and lying at a key focal point in the limited road network across Argyll, it had effectively become the legal and administrative centre for the county by the early 1700s. Its development went hand in hand with the growing power of the Campbells and the importance of their seat at Inveraray Castle.
The idea of replacing the 1400s tower house with a modern residence befitting the status and power of the Dukes of Argyll first occurred to the 2nd Duke in 1720. When the 3rd Duke of Argyll succeeded to his title in 1743 he commissioned an architect, and work began in 1745. As part of the project he created open parkland by demolishing the existing village of Inveraray, which stood between the castle and the sea.
The new town of Inveraray was built on a site to the south than its predecessor, out of sight of the castle. The new town had two main elements - Front Street ran almost west from the harbour to a large inn placed near the gates to the park for Inveraray Castle and the very grand Main Street ran parallel with the shore of Loch Fyne and at right angles to Front Street.
This comprised large white-harled buildings on both sides while in its centre it bulged out into Church Square to accommodate the classical bulk of the Glenaray and Inveraray Parish Church, built between 1792 and 1802 by Robert Mylne. This was originally built as a double church, with one half worshipping in Gaelic while the other half worshipped in Scots.
The area between Main Street and Loch Fyne is a warren of small streets, but a large part of it is occupied by Inveraray Jail. To the west, Main Street backs onto The Avenue, now the village's main car park.

Situated at a corner property, the La Grange Inn dates back to 1750 and is a familiar site on Montauk Highway. It has maintained some semblance of its intended purpose throughout its history. At various times, it was as an inn, a hotel, a hostelry, and a restaurant and has undergone several expansions over time. Vacant since 2010 with mechanical systems turned off in 2011, the building is threatened by steady decline. Negotiations are under way with CVS to move and restore the building, but there are concerns that the proposed solution will compromise the civic persona of the building. It is further complicated by a need to clarify periods of significance, and issues with redundant commercial development, as there is another CVS in close proximity.
Howard Van Doren Shaw designed the parish buildings which were built at the same time as the church (designed by architect Ralph Adams Cram) and dedicated in March 1914.

The Stager-Beckwith Mansion is the oldest remaining easily recognizable mansion on the former Millionaire's Row along Euclid Avenue in Midtown Cleveland. Constructed in 1866, it was built Anson Stager, a general superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph Company. Thomas Beckwith bought the house in 1874, after making a fortune running the Beckwith Sterling Company further down Euclid Avenue in Downtown Cleveland. Though Beckwith died within a few years of moving into the mansion, his family continued to reside there until his widow died in 1900, and it was sold to Charles Brush, whom lived in and kept up the structure in order to ensure it wasn't lost to the increasing commercialization of the corridor. In 1913, the house was sold and converted into the University Club, a private organization that remained in the building until 2002, greatly expanding the structure to the rear, adding a large wing with a large dining room, ballroom, squash courts, and tennis courts. In 2017, the Children's Museum of Cleveland moved into the building, renovating and restoring the structure in order to house their exhibits and programs.
