Mary Ann Starkweather Hall is the oldest building at Eastern Michigan University. It opened in 1897, just three days before Welch Hall.
The building originally houses the Student's Christian Association. Today it houses the honor college. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Portchester, Hampshire.
The Norman castle at Portchester stands in one corner of a large Roman fort. The walls of the fort, built in the last quarter of the third century, are said to be the most complete example in Northern Europe.
In 1086, Portchester was given to William Maudit who began work on a castle in the northeast corner of the fort.
By 1130 there was a two storey keep which was considerably enlarged later in the century.
The castle's strategic coastal position next to a natural harbour ensured that it was maintained and improved by sucessive Kings who used it as a base for campaigns across the Channel.
After the development of defences at Portsmouth, Portchester lost its strategic role, however it continued to serve as a prison, hospital and barracks until the early 19th century.
St Mary's parish church was built in the 1130s in the outer bailey. The church was built for an Augustinian priory that Pont de l'Arche established within the castle in 1128. Other buildings would have been planned for the priory, although almost no trace of them survives.

The District Bank until the 1970 merger: the ex-Westminster Bank branch down the road was closed.
This is quite a nice looking building, apart from the disabled access, but I find it rather hard to date: 1930s possibly? Diagonally opposite, at 8 School Road, there was a branch of Manchester & County Bank around the turn of the century (later becoming County Bank and then the District). The Town Hall extension now occupies the site, so it seems possible this was built as a replacement.

Back into Bristol to a very nice three story townhouse overlooking the Cumberland Basin, I particuarly liked this as this was my view when at eighteen, I moved to Bristol to be a copper and lived on the corner opposite on the top floor of Brittania Buildings, the old Campbell's Steam Ship offices. The job was a hard one but the view was a delight.

This was unfortunately a log job gone bad! The previous contractor left this homeowner withour a completed job. We had to fix some fo his mistakes and repair the rest of the decayed logs. We also had to sand off a few dormers on the home and the railings. It was a great place to work at and the project went very smooth. Please contact Intensified Wood Restoration LLC. for any of your log or wood home needs! www.logcabinrestorationservices.com
The architecture in Washington DC is remarkable. Everywhere you turn there is an interesting structure. I didn't get a chance to identify this building, but the lines created at this angle caught my eye.
It's definitely one of Wonder but its so difficult to get a picture without scaffolding ruining the vista.
I was walking down some street in NYC and I couldn't help to notice this huge blue block that blended in with the sky.The sad thing about this big blue building was the only people that went in were suits and the only people who came out were suits.Back and forth to their little cubicles living to work instead of working to live.

May 2014: New cladding & windows on Aberdeen College Gallowgate Campus (Now North East Scotland College, Aberdeen City Campus), Gallowgate, Aberdeen
Opened 1874 as Wesleyan, purchased 13 Nov 1897 by Congregational church, same foundation stone used (it was chipped out & reversed), closed 1963. Used as school 1880 until government school built 1894.
“Council of Education . . . Towitta. - Thos. Dicker wrote that the Wesleyan Chapel could be used as a schoolroom, but a residence was needed. Postponed for the present, as there are many more pressing claims.” [Register 19 Jun 1877]
“ a school and residence were required at Towitta, that 23 children of school-going age lived in the neighbourhood, and that the Wesleyan Chapel might be used for a school; a residence would have to be built. The matter had been before the Council previously, and it had been resolved that the number of children did not justify anything beyond a provisional school. The Council agreed to make the usual provisional grant, but were not able to build a residence, the school being provisional.” [Register 2 Aug 1877]
“the Towitta settlers are again without a school teacher, owing to some disagreement among the settlers, themselves. There have been no less than five different teachers in the course of three or four years.” [Advertiser 30 Jul 1880]
“A Wesleyan Sunday-school has been opened at Towitta, in the Angaston circuit.” [Christian Colonist 16 Dec 1887]
“special sermons were preached at the reopening of the Towitta Wesleyan Chapel by the Revs. G. W. Kendrew and M. Harris in the morning and evening respectively. The services were continued on Wednesday, when a public tea was held, followed by a concert in the evening.” [Chronicle 20 Apr 1895]
“Congregational Union . . . The work on the Murray Flats has been facilitated by the taking over of a church at Towitta hitherto occupied by the Wesleyans, they having made overtures to us for the purchase of the building.” [Chronicle 23 Oct 1897]
“Towitta Congregational Church held its anniversary service, but the appointed minister was unable to attend. Instead, Mrs K. French, of the Eden Valley Church, undertook the responsibilities, and those who have had the pleasure of hearing her will know that the address was one to be remembered.” [Leader, Angaston 2 Nov 1950]
