When I lived in Ontario ten years ago I drove through Bond Head many times on my way to and from Barrie... Only recently acquired this photo... And those first two buildings are still there! Just look up 4331 County Road 88 (Bond Head, Ontario) on Google street view to see for yourself... And this must be an early photo, the horse and buggy together with a pair of early cars...

The Toronto Jail was built between 1862 and 1865 with most of the current jail facilities being built in the 1950s, although a jail has stood on the site since 1858. Designed by architect William Thomas (also designed St. Lawrence Hall and St. Michael's Cathedral) in 1852, its distinctive façade in the Italianate style with a pedimented central pavilion and vermiculated columns flanking the main entrance portico is one of the architectural treasures of the city and one of very few pre-Confederation (1867) structures that remains intact in Toronto. Owing to its sturdy construction, its interior has gone largely unchanged in the last fifty years as renovations would be both difficult and expensive, even in an empty facility; as such, it is considered badly outdated as a prison facility. The old Jail was closed in 1977.

Hudson Yards is a large-scale redevelopment program planned, funded and constructed under a set of agreements among the State of New York, New York City, and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, with the aim of expanding New York City's Midtown Manhattan Business District westward to the Hudson River. The program includes a major rezoning of the Far West Side.
The centerpiece of Hudson Yards is a 28-acre (11 ha) mixed-use real estate development of the same name by Related Companies and Oxford Properties, currently being built over the West Side Rail Yard. According to its master plan, created by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, Hudson Yards is to consist of 16 skyscrapers containing more than 12,700,000 square feet (1,180,000 m2) of new office, residential, and retail space. Among its components will be six million square feet (560,000 m2) of commercial office space, a 750,000-square-foot (70,000 m2) retail center with two levels of restaurants, cafes, markets and bars, a hotel, a cultural space, about 5,000 residences, a 750-seat school, and 14 acres (5.7 ha) of public open space. The railyard project broke ground on December 4, 2012; the first tower, an 895-foot (273 m) office building in the southeast corner of the site, opened on May 31, 2016. Hudson Yards will accommodate a projected 65,000 daily visitors when completed. At over-US$20 billion, it is the most expensive development project in history.
On a previous visit, I opened an account at the "Bank at Sale" public house which as you can see coincidentally serves Bank's ales.The landlord was very good because he allowed me to make a couple of withdrawals straight away.
Construction on this 2400 s.f. (267 sq. meter) modestly budgeted, green design-build project began after completing a large lot subdivision with the City of Austin and required all new utilities during construction.
In addition to a spatially expansive interior with 11' ceilings (2.67 sq. meter) , we incorporated both North facing and South facing roofdecks of 400 s.f. each (44.5 sq. meter), 800 s.f. of covered outdoor living space (8.89 sq. meter) on the ground floor and two huge cantilevered Master Bedroom window spaces.
In front, there is a street-facing covered front porch off the Master Bedroom and a sculptural storage room on the ground floor that the Clients anointed "il Ferro Tartaruga" (the Steel Turtle) and which is outfitted for a future Jacuzzi. This space is a built experiment of the Firm's research into parametric modeling, planarization routines and digital fabrication. All the steel was modeled in 3D allowing it to be all shop cut with no in-field cuts.
A super minimalist approach leveraged the structural engineering into creating extra-ordinary outdoor spaces, while a compact plan allows the indoor spaces to naturally brush up against the building envelope and outside spaces.
St. John's church (Würzburg )
The St. John's Church is the second Evangelical Lutheran Church in Würzburg. It was on 24 June 1895 consecrated to John the Baptist. The church is located in the city center of Würzburg about 200 meters northeast of the Residence at the confluence of Hofstallstraße into the Husarenstraße. It is because of the road network not exactly oriented to the east, but points towards the northeast.
Architecture
The church burned down during World War II after the bombing of Würzburg on 16th March 1945. The remaining ruined tower was redesigned by the Munich architect Reinhard Riemerschmid (1914-1996) in the years 1956/57. To this end Riemerschmid flanked the helmet-less ruined tower with two slender pyramids with an octagonal base. These are slipped over the former stair towers and form as it were a two-tower facade of 60 meters. The towers are made of a steel construction with a light gray fiber cement slab cladding. Since this conversion, the Church with a trapezoil floor plan has the character of a memorial.

The original building of St. John's church was a longhouse with three naves. Today's church is a single hall building, which is kept simple in its decor. Seven reinforced concrete beams that taper from top to bottom divide the room inside and give the space together with the from the inside visible saddle roof form a tent-like appearance. The ceilings for better acoustics are paneled with light, sound-absorbing Odenwaldplatten (plates).
Eye-catching inside the church is a monumental, larger than life linden wood sculpture, which attached to two ropes hangs over the altar area. The plastic Christ the Judge of World comes from the Munich sculptor Helmut Ammann. Christ while doing so is flanked by two trumpet-blowing cherubs and thrones with opened book on a rainbow.

At the end of the 17th century, Sir William Pritchard provided a school house for the education of local boys and a block of almshouses for six unmarried poor people of the parish.
These, along with the renovated thatched barn, and the converted stables, now form the community arts centre, Artworks, which runs its own programme of courses, events and exhibitions throughout the year.

History
The Episcopal Church in Hessian Fulda looks to a history reaching back to Frankish time that is closely linked to the missionary work of the Empire territory.
The karolingical predecessor construction
On the site of a probably in the Saxon wars destroyed Frankish Herrenhof (manor farm) founded Sturm, a disciple of Saint Boniface, the monastery of Fulda. After the Anglo-Saxon missionary was killed by the Frisians 754 and was buried in the newly built church, developed this quickly to a popular pilgrimage site. Not least the growing number of monks and pilgrims made a comprehensive extension of the as hall church with a semicircular apse designed construction necessary. So the abbot Ratgar (791-819) first began with the establishment of a new Ostanlage (east layout) before to the then to a three-aisled basilica expanded building then a weitausladendes (elaborate) transept was added a second apse in the west. This Westanlage (west layout) refers clearly back to the Constantinian Church Old St. Peter in Rome and documents architecturally impressive the Rombezug (reference to Rome) of the directly to the Holy See subordinated monastery when it was founded.
Also the ring crypt under the western apse follows the example of the early Christian Roman Peter Church. There, Pope Gregory I about 600 had made the grave of the Prince of the Apostles by a similar facility for the pilgrims accessible.
The baroque new building
Not only the for its time of creation unique size and complexity of the Ratgarbasilika, but also its religious significance as burial place of Boniface allowed the Carolingian building to become a model for its Baroque successor. Thus Johann Dietzenhofer oriented himself with his in 1704-12 erected new building at the disposition of the previous building, those foundations were taken as far as possible. Also the baroque atypical system as three-aisled basilica seems explicable only from the reverent preservation of the original design. Only the west choir of the early medieval double chancel replaced the architect through a two-tower facade.
After air war damage during the Second World War, the restoration was completed in 1954.
Architecture
Following the example of the Carolingian episcopal church, Johann Dietzenhofer built the baroque cathedral as a three-aisled basilica with a transept and crossing tower. The above discussed Rombezüge (references to Rome) of the "Ratgarbasilika" he revived by a clear reference to Francesco Borromini's reconstruction of the Lateran Basilica once again. The Roman model paraphrasing, alternate in the nave large arched openings with smaller rectangular, above which figure niches are set into the high nave wall. In the aisles the individual yokes appear as independent, by horizontal oval domes centered spatial units.
Above the intersection arches a massive dome, whose drum is divided by double pilasters between which windows and figure niches alternate.
The as canopy formed high altar, where Gian Lorenzo Bernini's Marmorziborium in St. Peter's Church is evoked, gives a clear view of the elongated monk choir.
The exterior building is largely determined by the additive looking arrangement of towers, domes and chapels. The per se narrow twin-tower facade with its incorporated Ottonian towers is corrected in its Gesamtproportionierung (overall proportioning) by the two laterally attached chapels. The two flanking obelisks let the show side of the church gently fade away.
Decoration and equippment
The spatial effect is determined by the contrast between the white of the wall surfaces and the stucco on the one hand and the black and gold color chord of the architectural elements and the equipment to another.
The stucco with its many figurative representations was created by Giovanni Battista Artari.
Of the rest of its features, especially the numerous baroque tombs deserve special attention.
