Also nicknamed "Shelt Factory", this strip mill was part of the Usines Métallurgiques de Hainaut-Sambre. The first report we can make about this building is that it's huge! Indeed, the factory looks like an enormous warehouse of about 630 meters long (for around 30 meters wide). Sun beams infiltrate through the roof of this construction located along the railroad.
Here, the steel was refined in billets of steel ready for exportation.
Built in the haste and the euphoria at the end of the 60s, during a post-war period where the growth of the caroloregian steel industry continued to climb, this construction of this site arrived almost at the same time as the recession which was going to mark the last moments of glory of this industry. Besides, the products of this strip mill were already exploited by other companies of the region, so the site did not last long enough to step in front of the competition and eventually closed at the end of the 70s.
The place is today abandoned, and there is no remain of the machinery except for two rusty overhead cranes still suspended at the ceiling and a third one lying on the ground. This emptiness strengthens the sensation of size when we penetrate there. Next to the warehouse, there are still some annexes among which the changing rooms, a machinery room and a gasometer. Unmistakably, this place remembers us the wealth in the region of Charleroi during its era of glory…

Également surnommé "Usine Shelt", ce laminoir des Usines Métallurgiques de Hainaut-Sambre impressionne tout d'abord par sa taille. Le bâtiment se présente en effet sous la forme d'un énorme hangar d'environ 630 mètres de long (pour une trentaine de mètres de large) transpercé par les rayons du soleil. Situé le long de la voie ferrée, cette usine permettait d'affiner l'acier pour en faire des billettes (sortes de poutrelles d'acier de petit et moyen calibres) prêtes à être exportées.
Construit dans l'empressement et l'euphorie à la fin des années 60, pendant une période où la croissance de la sidérurgie carolorégienne de l'après-guerre continuait à grimper, ce site tomba presque nez-à-nez avec la récession qui allait marquer les derniers moments de gloire de cette industrie. Les produits de ce laminoir étant par ailleurs déjà exploités par d'autres entreprises de la région, le site ne fit pas long feu face à la concurrence et ferma à la fin des années 70.
Le lieu étant aujourd'hui à l'abandon, plus une seule machinerie ne s'y trouve à part les restes rouillés de deux ponts roulants encore suspendus au plafond (et un troisième au sol), ce qui renforce la sensation de grandeur lorsqu'on y pénètre. On retrouve à côté quelques bâtiments annexes (vestiaires, salles des machines, gazomètre…). Un lieu dont la taille nous évoque indéniablement la richesse de l'ère de l'industrie sidérurgique du bassin de Charleroi…

The opera house in Granbury was built in 1886. Kerr's Opera House, which featured Vaudeville acts, dramatic productions, and musical programs, occupied the top floor until 1911. The lower floor housed various businesses, including a saloon, saddle and harness shop, and two grocery stores. Later the roof collapsed, and the building rapidly deteriorated. It was restored and reopened in 1975 by the Granbury Opera Association. After a major renovation and re-design the Granbury Opera House reopened its doors on December 12, 2013. Live productions are presented by the Granbury Theatre Company and free movies are shown. (Narrative include information from Texas State Historical Marker at the site.)
Il Palazzo delle Nazioni si erge al centro del Parco dell'Ariana, sulla riva del Lago di Ginevra. Costruito negli anni '30 del secolo scorso, il palazzo fu la sede principale della Società delle Nazioni fino al 1946.
Dal 1966 ospita la principale sede europea dell'ONU, pertanto è territorio internazionale. Il palazzo, arrivato a 600 metri di lunghezza a causa di numerose ristrutturazioni, contiene 34 sale conferenza e circa 2.800 uffici.
The League of Nations Palace is located in the midst of the Ariana Park, on the banks of Lake Geneva. The palace, which was built in the 1930, was the main headquarters of the League of Nations until 1946.
The building has housed the European headquarters of the UN since 1966 and is thus international territory. The palace, which has been extended to a length of 600 meters through several upgrades, contains 34 conference rooms and about 2,800 offices.

The historic city centre is a prominent World Heritage Site of UNESCO. It is egg-shaped and about 430 hectares in size. The area of the whole city amounts to more than 13,840 hectares, including 193.7 hectares off the coast, at Zeebrugge ("Seabruges" in literal translation). The city's total population is 117,073 (1 January 2008), of which around 20,000 live in the historic centre. The metropolitan area, including the outer commuter zone, covers an area of 616 km² and has a total of 255,844 inhabitants as of 1 January 2008.
Kids especially love a straw bale house-building party. We all slept among the bales on a starlit night before we started the building process. Beautiful!
Isaac Theatre Royal rebuild on a walk around Christchurch May 6, 2013 New Zealand.
Mercifully the Grand Old Lady of Christchurch Theatre just about survived the massive earthquakes and considerable aftershocks that rocked the city in 2010 & 2011.
She is now well on the way to full restoration and repair, with the current target of mid to late October 2014 for reopening. Some extensive earthquake strengthening work undertaken in 1998/99 without doubt saved this 100 year old Heritage building from complete collapse but some significant deconstruction was required to secure the remaining structure and protect the key interior and exterior heritage elements.

This Commercial Style bank building at 123 N. Main St. was constructed in 1908 and features the large windows and prominent vertical beams, a large metal cornice (that once stretched down the side elevation as well), and a historicist Romanesque ground floor. These elements show a modest small-town example of Chicago Commercial architecture of the early twentieth century, as architects experimented with taller buildings, steel construction, and larger windows.
The Former Park Avenue (later Washington) Elementary School in Tyrone, Pennsylvania. This building was built in 1897.
This school (I believe) closed in 1952 upon the opening of the new (replacement) Logan Avenue and Adams Avenue Schools that replaced their ~65 year old namesakes. These new buildings stood as pillars of the community until the middle of the 1998-1999 school year when the Tyrone Area Elementary School opened up beside the High School built in 1962. This building may have lasted until 1962 when this High School opened, at which point the former Junior/Senior high school became Lincoln Elementary.
The portion of the building to the left of the door/ tower was added after 1897.
The Danube city was only in 1954 from the 1938 from Floridsdorf (21st district) separated communities Stadlau, Kagran, Hirschstetten, Aspern and Lobau, the former Lower Austrian municipalities Süßenbrunn, Breitenlee and Essling, as well as the from the 2nd district separated Kaisermuehlen formed. Another 15 Marchfeld townships, which in 1938 during the formation of the 22nd district "Grossenzersdorf" also came to Vienna were again returned to Lower Austria in the same year. The district, which initially after 1945 was listening to the name of Stadlau, was now called Danube city (Donaustadt).
Today's 22nd district is geographically by far the largest district with 102.34 km2 and was for a long time also the least populated; in the last decades as a result of intensive urbanization (residential buildings of the Municipality of Vienna in Aspern, Hirschstetten, Kagran and Kaisermühlen) rapidly rising population numbers have been recorded (1951: 53,000; 2002: 136,000 inhabitants). However, there are still areas predominantly used for agricultural purposes.
In the modern Danube City are situated the 1964 at the Vienna International Garden Show laid out Danube Park with the 252 m high Danube Tower, the in 1975 opened Danube center, Vienna's biggest shopping center, the UNO-City (1979) and the Austria Center (1987), the Social Medical Center East (1984), the OMV, the Opel Austria (on the site of the former airfield Aspern) and the Danube power plant Freudenau (1998). By covering over of the Danube bank highway and the construction of office and residential towers, currently arises an entirely new urban center in the Danube city.
The Danube city with the at the beginning of the 20th century arosen beach area at the Old Danube and the Danube Island also has some of the most popular leisure and recreation centers of Vienna.

The Lobau, in which the Danube city also has its share, in 1977 was elevated into the rank of a nature-sanctuary and in 1996, into the rank of National Park "Danube Floodplains".
Large parts of today's Danube city in the First Republic still belonged to Floridsdorf; the early history of the social democratic movement of the Danube city therefore with that of the 21 district is largely identical.

In February 1934 also in the Danube city it came to fierce fightings. The headquarters of the Republican Defense League (Schutzbund) of Kagran was located in Komzak alley/Mälzel square (memorial plaque). Actually, Kagran was the only area where even aircrafts of the Heimwehr (right-wing para-military organization) were used. Hard-fought was also the Goethe court where in memory of February 1934 on 10 Febraury 1983 also a commemorative plaque was unveiled; another memorial plaque at the subway station Kagran center remembers the fallen tram workers of 15th February.
In many large companies, most of all in the transport companies, the gas and electric plants, but also in the fire service, the railways, the post office and the police, there were from 1934 to 1945 anti-fascist resistance groups. In the Danube Park a memorial plaque remembers that on the military firing range Kagran (in present-day park area) on October 31, 1944 the two firefighters Hermann Plackholm and Johann Zak were executed before the eyes of 600 of their colleagues. Two lanes in the Danube city were named after the two men.
In the Wurmbrand alley 12 a memorial plaque remembers the machinist Franz Stelzel who lived in this house; he also was a member of a resistance group, was arrested in 1941 and beheaded on November 10, 1942 in the Provincial Court (Landesgericht).
On May 2, 1945, the district organization was re-established in Aspern. First head of district of the 22nd district became Leopold Horacek (1946-1959), after which a residential complex is named in the Lenk alley 1-3. 1947 moved the district organization into the former Kagraner school, Donaufelder street 259.
Yet in the fifties and sixties, emerged thousands of new apartments in the hitherto sparsely populated Danube City.
1972 finally on the Racecourse grounds one of the largest municipal construction projects was tackled - the 1977 populated residential complex Rennbahnweg with 2,440 dwellings; a little later emerged the Dr. Josef Bohmann court south of Aderklaaer street with 1,600 apartments.
In parallel, also in infrastructure was invested. As early as 1978, the leading to Stadlau Südosttangente could be opened to traffic, since September 1982, the U1 runs to the center Kagran, and 1985, followed the ground-breaking ceremony for the hospital SMZ-Ost.
The Danube city today is the district of Vienna which by far continues to grow the strongest. In the municipal housing policy, however, towards the end of the eighties it came to renunciation from the large buildings of the former decades, which as an urban experiment by many are considered as failed.

An excellent example for a modern continuation of tradition of dwelling is the in 1990 completed residential complex in the Stundl alley.

The classrooms of the high school were built somehow underground during the 1980s with metal structure and glass in order to give light.

The maisons d'éducation de la Légion d'honneur were the French secondary schools set up by Napoleon 1st and originally meant for the education of girls whose father, grandfather or great-grandfather had been awarded the Légion d'honneur. Access is still by hereditary right. The most famous one is located in Saint-Denis, near Paris, just behind the gothic cathedral.
Inaugurated on July 1, 1811, the Maison d'éducation de la Légion d'honneur of Saint-Denis was ruled by Madame du Bouzet, the widow of a colonel dead at the Battle of Jemappes. The first boarders came in 1812.
On September 1, 1989, Saint-Denis opened a class of "Lettres Supérieures" (also called hypokhâgne), and on September 1, 1994, a class of "Première Supérieure" (khâgne) followed. On September 1, 1990, the school opened a class of "Brevet de Technicien Supérieur" (BTS) in international business, with an option of preparation to business schools.
Nowadays the school, set in the cloister of the former Basilica of St Denis, has about 500 pupils of lycée and the classes of hypokhâgne, khâgne and BTS.[4]
The buildings are not opened to public but can be visited during the European Heritage Days. They sometimes organise group visits.
The education level is excellent with 100% success to A leval exams.
