Belle Plain College, established in 1881, was a short-lived college located in the now defunct town of Belle Plain, Texas. The college was established by the Northwest Conference of the Methodist Church. From its inception the college boasted of its music program. By the end of the 1880s the school had fifteen pianos, a brass band, and an orchestra. Though the campus comprised two buildings by 1885 the entire school had been mortgaged to pay for classroom furnishings and instruments. The school's only funding came from the local school district, a fact which hastened its demise.
Upon founding, the school had a girl's dormitory constructed. At the college's height over 300 people were enrolled and in 1885 a three-story stone structure was built at the site. BPC had a military branch of its school in the small town of Belle Plain. The students there were required to wear blue and gray uniforms. When the railroad skipped over Belle Plain in favor of Baird the latter quickly gained favor and became the county seat of Callahan County in 1883. The population began to decline as a result. A couple years of bad weather depleted the college's already empty coffers. Judge I.M. Onins took over the school and its debts in 1887. The mortgage company foreclosed on the property in 1889, though they allowed it to operate until Onins' 1892 death. Today the ruins of the college buildings remain.

Ah if only walls could talk! This hotel has had a sorted history and before it closed down a number of years ago, this was one SRO in bad shape. It's currently being restored by a new owner and will feature some sort of restaurant on the bottom floor but will remain a low-income hotel up top. It used to be called the Clarendon but is now known as the American.
The old photo gives testament to just how old the hotel is and how much history it has seen, good or bad, and I'm quite glad this building is not getting torn down. The two-story building to the right, however, may not be so lucky. It suffered extensive fire damage a while ago and has been sitting boarded up and abandoned for some time.
My work day didn't really start till about 4:00 pm this day, and because I was going to lose the evening, I did my wandering during the morning.
My first stop was to grab a photo of Town Hall.
England's Finest Medieval Village.
Discover Lavenham; England's finest medieval village and food capital of Suffolk.
Lavenham has wonderful places to stay, restaurants and pubs with excellent food and interesting shops and galleries.
An ideal place to stay for a short break to explore Suffolk's countryside and coast.
Lavenham is a village and civil parish in Suffolk, England. It is noted for its 15th century church, half-timbered medieval cottages and circular walk. In the medieval period it was among the 20 wealthiest settlements in England. Currently, it is a popular day-trip destination for British people from across the country and Americans from the air bases of Lakenheath and Mildenhall, along with another historic wool town in the area, Long Melford.
For four centuries, Lavenham made its fortune from the wool trade, selling blue broadcloth, 'Lavenham Blues' - everywhere from Africa to the Baltic. By 1524, the town, its population just 2,000, was 14th richest in England, ahead of York and Lincoln.
The church of St. Peter & St. Paul, Lavenham. A very grand parish church dating from the 15th Century it was paid for by several rich Lavenham clothiers and the Lord of the Manor. It was built on the site of an earlier church and the present building is of the late perpendicular style.
With the Church Tower clearly visible on the Suffolk Skyline, this church can be seen for miles around. Once a year it is open to the public. Well worth climbing the 200 steps to the top!
An ideal place to start a historic Potter trail, the medieval town of Lavenham was where it all began for Harry Potter in the Deathly Hallows, after deciding it had an "ethereal" quality. Lavenham stars as Harry’s childhood village of Godrick’s Hollow - the scene where his parents fell foul to the Dark Lord, and the epic battle began.

Tewkesbury is a town and civil parish in Gloucestershire, England. It stands at the confluence of the River Severn and the River Avon, and also minor tributaries the Swilgate and Carrant Brook. It gives its name to the Borough of Tewkesbury, of which the town is the second largest settlement. It lies in the far north of the county, forming part of the border with Worcestershire.
The name Tewkesbury comes from Theoc, the name of a Saxon who founded a hermitage there in the 7th century, and in the Old English language was called Theocsbury. An erroneous derivation from Theotokos enjoyed currency in the monastic period of the town's history.
The Battle of Tewkesbury, which took place on 4 May 1471, was one of the decisive battles of the Wars of the Roses.
We (Iridesco) in on the 3rd floor. I just learned that our building used to the Old Odd Fellows Hall, via this comment on my picture.
The building's facade and the unique interior were designed in 1911 by Josef Gočár. The sharp-angled stone mullions and rhomboids are parodying classical columns and capitals. The Grand Cafe Orient remains one of the few surviving cubist interiors in the world.

I like the scale of the buildings here.
The taller building at the left has quite a large tree growing out of the back.

Ellan Vannin - Isle of Man.
The Old House of Keys in Castletown - part of the Tynwald, the Isle of Man Government, the House of Keys met in this purpose-built building from 1821 until 1874, when it followed other Government offices and departments and moved to Douglas. It is preserved by Manx Heritage as it would have appeared in 1866; this was a momentous period in Manx History when the House of Keys became directly elected and the Island embraced democracy.
The House of Keys has had 24 members since the 16th Century (the word 'Keys' is thought to be an abbreviation/corruption of the House's Manx Gaelic name 'Yn Chiare as Feed', meaning 'The four-and-twenty'). Members of the House of Keys, or MHKs, are mostly Independents although three of the current incumbents are affiliated to Liberal Vannin, the Manx Liberal Party, and one to the Manx Labour Party.
Castletown is dominated by the medieval Castle Rushen, one of the best preserved medieval castles in Europe and ancient home of the Kings and later Lords of Mann. Tynwald, the Manx Government, was based in Castle Rushen by the 1500s and Castletown was the Island's capital until Tynwald moved to Douglas during the 1860s and 1870s.
