Former Hanover Bank, Hanover Square, Financial District, Manhattan
One of the finest buildings of the Anglo-Italianate Style in New York City is India House, built for the Hanover Bank between 1851 and 1854. This building has played an important role in the commercial life of New York, having served as the New York Cotton Exchange between 1870 and 1886 and having later become the offices of W.R.Grace & Co. Today India House is a clubhouse containing a fine maritime museum, and it also stands as a surviving example of the commercial life of mid-Nineteenth Century New York.
This brownstone building with its handsome doorway, cornice and pedimented windows illustrates Anglo-Italianate architecture to perfection. Above a strong base the smooth masonry walls rise to a well-detailed cornice, carried on closely-spaced brackets.
The entrance is made effective with Corinthian columns and a fine railing above (balustrade). As an example of a large, freestanding symmetrical Anglo-Italianate building, India House has few to equal it in architectural excellence in the City.
Although built for a bank, this building is important because it was basically a prototype of the New York brownstone residence.
At the public hearing, James Marley, President of Local 6 of the Hotel, Motel and Club Employees Union, testified about India House as follows: "I wish to state at the outset that I am not here to plead for the jobs of the workers employed there .... The fact is that this is a tourist City. People from all over the world come here to look at us, both as we are and as we were. When come here, they stay in the hotels and motels of the City. Workers who might no longer find employment in India House could find it elsewhere if the attractions of old New York remain. Should at any time India House cease to be a club, it should nevertheless be maintained as a Landmark ....
The site too is important, for placed as it is, in the center of the financial district, it adds to the cityscape and gives a feeling of warmth and intimacy to the surroundings 1 which are of almost unrelieved concrete and steel. It is the very kind of architecture and site of India House which attracts so many visitors to our City. The entire area is almost completely populated on Saturdays and Sundays with tourists carrying cameras who are seeking to find some small part of New York as it once was ....
If India House as it now stands were to be dismantled or moved, it would be a great loss to all of us. Indeed, such short sightedness applied to this and other Seventeenth, Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century buildings in New York could wipe out all evidence of the periods of growth of our City."
On the basis of a careful consideration of the history, the architecture and other features of this building, the Landmarks Preservation Commission finds that India House has a special character, special historical and aesthetic interest and value as part of the development, heritage and cultural characteristics of New York City.
The Commission further finds that, among its important qualities, India House is one of the few surviving New York banking houses of the mid-Nineteenth Century, that it is a rare and outstanding example of a symmetrical Anglo-Italianate Brownstone and that it symbolizes the important period during which the City was achieving its first major growth.

The Arch of Constantine and The Roman Coliseum, Rome-IT
The Arch of Constantine (Italian: Arco di Costantino) is a triumphal arch in Rome, situated between the Colosseum and the Palatine Hill. It was erected to commemorate Constantine I's victory over Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge on October 28, 312. Dedicated in 315, it is the latest of the existing triumphal arches in Rome, from which it differs by spolia, the extensive re-use of parts of earlier buildings.
O Arco de Constantino é um arco triunfal em Roma, a curta distância para oeste do Coliseu. Foi erigido para comemorar a vitória de Constantino sobre Maxêncio na Batalha da Ponte Mílvio, 312 AD. A batalha está representada na banda pouco esculpida sobre o lado direito do arco, na frente oposta ao Coliseu.

Beside the Church of the Nativity is the late 19th century Church of St Catherine. It is from here that the annual Christmas Eve Midnight Mass is broadcast around the world.
The Pekeliling Flats are due for demolition this year. A final reminder by DBKL has been issued to the last 150-plus families still ensconced in their units.
Already new buildings are beginning to sprout in the vicinity, stamping the future in concrete.
This angle - by accident - captures a perspective where the new construction seems to continue from the existing although they are a block apart.
One hundred years ago, the south Texas town of Asherton was full of hope and promise. With the discovery of deep artesian wells and a temperate climate that allowed for year-round crops, the 'Winter Garden' region of in deep southwest Texas was booming. Asher Richardson saw an opportunity, and by the turn of the century he owned nearly a quarter million acres of land, and the town of Asherton was established in 1902. It developed quickly within a few short years, with the heralded arrival of the Asherton and Gulf Railway in 1910, which was the same year that he built his impressive Bel-Asher Mansion. The town prospered for some time, becoming the Bermuda onion capital of the world. But the underground aquifers were soon tapped out, the Great Depression took a heavy toll, and Asherton fell into a slow decline. Today, Asherton is a poor, blue-collar community where hard-scrabble workers travel to nearby farms; the downtown is completely deserted without any businesses remaining. On the edge of town sits the remnants of the Asherton High School, the hundred-year-old two-story building as its centerpiece, shut down over a decade ago in a funding scandal.

The Monastery of the Dominicans of Batalha was built to commemorate the victory of the Portuguese over the Castilians at the battle of Aljubarrota in 1385. It was to be the Portuguese monarchy's main building project for the next two centuries. Here a highly original, national Gothic style evolved, profoundly influenced by Manueline art, as demonstrated by its masterpiece, the Royal Cloister. UNESCO WHS description.
