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.
I shot this tiny church back in March, and went back today to see how it had changed with the seasons and the different light.
A very friendly and popular bar/restaurant being sold freehold. The bar has all of the relevant licences...for the first time in it's history as being a bar and is currently open from 9am until 10pm...or until the last customer leaves...!!! The kitchen at the rear has all of the normal appliances and is currently being used to prepare delicious English and Hungarian cuisine. Recently decorated throughout and with parking at the front of the building and a sunny terrace, this is a must see for anyone considering opening their own business.
This is the front of my school. This is where you can enter. In this entrence are slippers that you must wear when walking in the building. No shoes allowed!!!!!
Hard to risist taking a shot of this splendid building in the late afternoon on this wintery but clear day.
Ein Reigen

Against the backdrop of Arthur Schnitzlers drama "La Ronde", the creators of this ballet (choreographer Ashley Page and designer Antony McDonald) evoke the almost explosive creativity which characterised Vienna in the years between 1900 and 1914. Based on real personalities, this ballet brings both the light and the dark sides of this period to the stage, portraying individual characters and shedding light on the relationships between them. Compositions which arose from this extraordinarily ric h artistic period provide the musical basis for the ballet.

The Magnificent Mile, sometimes referred to as The Mag Mile, is a prestigious section of Chicago's Michigan Avenue, running from the Chicago River to Oak Street in the Near North Side. The district is located adjacent to downtown, and one block east of Rush Street, which is known for its nightlife. The Magnificent Mile serves as the main thoroughfare between Chicago's Loop business district and its Gold Coast. It also serves as the western boundary of the Streeterville neighborhood.
Real estate developer Arthur Rubloff of Rubloff Company gave the nickname to one of the city's most prestigious residential and commercial thoroughfares in the 1940s. Currently Chicago's largest shopping district, various mid-range and high-end shops line this section of the street and approximately 3,100,000 square feet (290,000 m2) is currently occupied by retail stores, restaurants, museums and hotels.
Several of the tallest buildings in the United States, such as the John Hancock Center and the Trump International Hotel and Tower, lie in the district. Numerous landmarks are located along the Magnificent Mile, such as the Wrigley Building, Tribune Tower, the Chicago Water Tower and the Allerton Hotel.
