Outhouse at Copp Chapel. The local squirrels must have wanted to get inside because they have chewed at the top of the door.
A small country church near Wooldridge in central Missouri. The original building must have been destroyed because the small current building sits on a hand-hewn local stone foundation. The current building has modern windows but is covered with "barn quality" corregated siding. The oldest graves in the adjacent cemetery are from the mid nineteenth century. I traveled here because while researching my geneology I discovered that my GGGGrandfather Emanual is buried in that cemetery. I was perplexed to find no stone but rather one for his fourth wife, Elizabeth. The stone was obviously more recent than her death date of 1869. The odd thing is that it does identify her as "wife of Emanuel". So my conclusion is that either my GGGGrandfather fell out of favor with the family or that he actually died and was buried elsewhere. Although there are a few fuzzy lines in his lineage, Emanual was born in 1789 to Swiss-German Mennonites who earlier immigrated to southeastern Pennsylvania. Later he migrated to Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, then into mountains of eastern Tennessee before moving by covered wagon and riverboat into Central Missouri. He was married four times, outliving the first three wives who gave birth of over twenty children.

The 5 storey Montreal City Hall is the work of architects Henri-Maurice Perrault and Alexander Cowper Hutchison, built between 1872 and 1878. Its architecture is in the Second Empire style, also known as Napoléon III-style.
It is located in the center of Old Montreal, facing place Jacques-Cartier, at 275 Notre-Dame Street East. The closest metro station is Champ-de-Mars.
[edit]
History
It was built between 1872 and 1878 but caught fire in 1922. It was restored by taking as a model the city hall of the French city of Tours.
In 1967, it is from its balcony that Charles de Gaulle, then president of France, gave his speech which ended by the (often famous or infamous) "Vive le Québec libre".
Tiny Geyser MT is in the beautiful Judith Basin. It has quite a few interesting old buildings and lovely mountain views. For being such a small town it seems to be fairly active, and even has a few open businesses and a very large school.
"Geyser was named for the nearby bubbling mud springs. At the turn of the century, the area around Geyser was dominated by the J. B. Long sheep company. Homesteaders, many of them Finnish, came later; often they had been coal miners at Belt and were lured here by offers of free land. Geyser hit its peak about 1920 (Byerly and Byerly). The old town was moved to its present site when the Great Northern was built from Great Falls to Billings and Geyser became a station. In the very early days, it was a stagecoach overnight stopping place on the trail from Lewistown to Great Falls." -centralmontana.com

Earls Barton's church must boast one of the finest examples of earliest pre-Norman architecture in England with it's Anglo-Saxon tower dating to the late 10th-Century.
The tower was originally a nave- tower with it being the church, this was carried on until the present nave was built in the 12th-Century, it was later renovated and in the 13th-Century the chancel was added.
Demolition crews get to work on colonial buildings along Dong Khoi road.'The Pearl of Saigon', the Hotel Majestic was built in 1925 in Art Deco style. It is situated at the corner of Dong Khoi and Ton Duc Thang, near the Saigon River. One old name, two new. One word in a foreign language, two in Vietnamese. Dong Khoi under the French was called Rue Catinat. 'A very French street', a writer who has been living in Saigon since 1954 told me. This was also the most beautiful street in Saigon under the French. Not too wide with only two lanes, but each side packed with many beautiful French-style buildings, shops, cinemas, famous cafes and restaurants. This was the place where the intellectuals, writers, journalists, tourists and the wealthy elite of the city met. His words reminded me that it is not only Hanoi that is 'very French'. Saigon is even 'more French'. Indeed, the South was a French colony, while the North was only considered a protected territory.
In a City, Ho Chi Minh, is the second book in a series of short stories about Vietnam, commissioned by the British Council. The first series was shot in Hanoi.

Humboldt County was named for the Humboldt River, which in turn was named by John C. Fremont for geographer and German naturalist Alexander von Humboldt.
(En) Founded in 1906, the Coking Plant of Anderlues was specialized in the production of coke for industrial use.
Coke was obtained by distillation of coal in furnaces and, thanks to its superior fuel coal properties, it was used afterwards to feed the blast furnaces in the steel manufacturing process.
Closed and abandoned since 2002, the site has since undergone many losses and damages, not including an important pollution. While some buildings have now been demolished, there are however still some important parts of the former coking plant.
Among them, the former coal tower, next to the imposing "battery" of 38 furnaces, where the coke was produced. Besides them, we still can see the administrative buildings, the power station with its cooling tower, and buildings for the by-products, which were obtained by recovering the tar and coal gas. There are also a gasometer north side, the coal tip east side and a settling basin south side.

(Fr) Fondées en 1906, les Cokeries d'Anderlues étaient spécialisées dans la fabrication de coke à usage industriel.
Le coke était obtenu par distillation de la houille dans des fours et, grâce à ses propriétés combustibles supérieures au charbon, il servait par après à alimenter les hauts-fourneaux dans le processus de fabrication de l'acier.
Fermé et laissé à l'abandon depuis 2002, le site a depuis lors subi de nombreuses pertes et dégradations, sans compter la pollution qui y règne. Si certains bâtiments (comme l'ancien lavoir à charbon) ont aujourd'hui été démolis, on retrouve encore toutefois certaines parties importantes de cette ancienne cokerie.
Parmi celles-ci, l'ancienne tour à charbon suivie de près par l'imposante "batterie" de 38 fours, où était produit le coke. A côté d'eux, on découvre également les bâtiments administratifs, la centrale électrique avec sa tour de refroidissement, ainsi que les bâtiments des sous-produits, lesquels étaient obtenus par récupération du goudron et du gaz de houille. Et en périphérie, on retrouve un gazomètre côté nord, le terril à l'est et un bassin de décantation côté sud.
Hoa Lo jail is in the centre of Hanoi and was built by the French as Maison Centrale in the late 19th century. During the Vietnam War it was dubbed the "Hanoi Hilton" in the West. US Senator John McCain was jailed there among many other US POWs. What remains of it is now a museum. Two thirds of it was pulled down in the 1990s to build Hanoi Towers, two office and apartment highrise buildings visible in the background of this photo.
The All Saints Church is an Anglican church located in the suburb of Ainslie, Canberra. It is part of the diocese of Canberra and Goulburn in the Anglican Church of Australia.
The original building started as the First Mortuary station in Rookwood Cemetery, Sydney, as noted on a plaque on the church:
"The stonework of this church was originally used to build the first mortuary station on the branch railway to the necropolis rookwood near Sydney. This plaque was presented by the Australian Railway Historical Society to commemorate the old station which was in use from 1868 to 1948." [1][permanent dead link]
The railway line went underneath the main arch in the building, where the aisle is in the present church. The side aisles are where the platforms for the station were located. Coffins would be taken out on the railway line to the cemetery for burial.
