The Kelvingrove Art Gallery is a museum and art gallery in Glasgow, Scotland. The building houses one of Europe's great civic art collections. Since its refurbishment the museum is the most popular free to enter visitor attraction in Scotland, and the most visited museum in the United Kingdom outside London.
The construction of Kelvingrove was partly financed by the proceeds of the 1888 International Exhibition held in Kelvingrove Park. The gallery was designed by Sir John W. Simpson and E.J. Milner Allen and opened in 1901. It is built in a Spanish Baroque style, follows the Glaswegian tradition of using local red sandstone, and includes an entire program of architectural sculpture by George Frampton, Francis Derwent Wood and other sculptors. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvingrove_Art_Gallery_and_Museum

St Giles' Cathedral, more properly termed the High Kirk of Edinburgh, is the principal place of worship of the Church of Scotland in Edinburgh. Its distinctive crown steeple is a prominent feature of the city skyline, at about a third of the way down the Royal Mile which runs from the Castle to Holyrood Palace. The church has been one of Edinburgh's religious focal points for approximately 900 years. The present church dates from the late 14th century, though it was extensively restored in the 19th century, and is protected as a category A listed building. Today it is sometimes regarded as the "Mother Church of Presbyterianism". The cathedral is dedicated to Saint Giles, who is the patron saint of Edinburgh, as well as of cripples and lepers, and was a very popular saint in the Middle Ages. It is the Church of Scotland parish church for part of Edinburgh's Old Town.

Ab 1872 hatte die Actien-Gesellschaft für Anilin-Fabrikation (Agfa) hier ihren Sitz.
Es folgen 1873 der Börsengang der »AG für Anilinfabrikation«, der damit den Grundstein für das weltbekannte Markenzeichen Agfa legt. Von Berlins damaligem Stadtrand aus erschließt Agfa den Weltmarkt mit der Produktion von Foto- und Kinofilmrollen. Bau der Agfa-Fabrik 1901–12 von Paul Karchow.
Trotz innovativer Produkte zwingt die starke Luftverschmutzung der Industrialisierung an der Görlitzer Bahn, Agfa zur Auslagerung der empfindlichen Produktionsstrecken nach Wolfen.
In den 1950er Jahren wurden die Gebäude vom VEB Steremat im Elektro-Apparate-Werk Treptow genutzt. Seit der Wende 1990 wurden mehrere Ausgründungen angesiedelt und die Gebäude seither für Gewerbeunternehmen genutzt.

In 1993, his holiness the Dalai Lama had inaugurated the recent complex of the monastery when he had come for his religious teachings on Buddhism in the region.
Bishop's House is a historic building in downtown, Portland.
It was constructed when the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese was moved to Portland from Oregon City for Archbishop William Hickley Gross. Originally, the building contained a church library, the archbishop's living quarters, and an insurance agent's office. At the time, however, the area was in decline and the archbishop remained here for only one year.
For a time the Bishop's House hosted a Chinese Tong society and from 1911 to 1915, an architectural workshop led by A. E. Doyle and Morris H. Whitehouse met in the building.
The building today houses offices and Al Amir Lebanese restaurant.
