A couple of shots taken in Rome, Italy.
Went on a little photo-walk near our apartment and snapped a couple of visitors to this hybrid building that was once the Temple of Apollo Sosianus.
Everywhere we went through the rural areas, there were workers out building; roads, houses, you name it. it looked like long, hard work, but worth it -- the farmers are living in conditions that a lot of people elsewhere in the world would love to have even in the cities!
With roads, houses, running water, fields to work in and food to eat your life might not be luxurious but all the basics are covered.
In 2001 we doubled our square footage by adding the children's wing on the left. In 2005 we renovated the ground floor, doubling our usable space again. We are very proud of our new building. It is the crown jewel of the Main Street, smack-dab in the center of town.
The City Hall building was built as one half of a set of buildings (the other being the Jackson County Courthouse that sits across the street). This building was completed in 1937.

The architects (Otto Richter and Leopold Ramsauer) were already known by their construction of the "Jubilee Workshop Court" (Kaiser-Franz-Joseph-Jubiläums-Werkstättenhof)" from 1908 to 1909, Vienna 6, Mollardgasse 85-85a.
The construction work with around 150 rooms and 40 apartments, is a striking example of the Viennese industrial building after the turn of the century. The exterior shows the typical industrial facades of the early 20th Century for which the break-up of the outer walls in pilaster-like piers with large intervening windows characteristic is.
In the Jubiläums-Werkstättenhof "Mariahilf" by Richter and Ramsauer was, after Wehdorn/Georgeacopol-Winischhofer "one of the greatest examples of a complex of buildings in which the idea to combine both a variety of different commercial and industrial buildings as well as people homes in a unit realized".
Otto Richter has at the age of 44 years at the home of his parents, Franz-Josephsbahnstraße 35, Wien 9, where he also lived, died.
Leopold Ramsauer, despite prolonged illness, had worked tirelessly until his death, and died at the age of 41 years in the General Hospital of spinal tuberculosis.

Francis of Assisi Church on Mexikoplatz
History of St. Francis of Assisikirche
Parish church Danube city (Donaustadt) of St. Francis of Assisi, the Emperor Jubilee Church and Trinity Church.
Up to the regulation (1870-1875), the banks of the Danube in Vienna were only meadows and gardens because of the acute danger of flooding. After the flood danger was over, the newly reclaimed land was settled quickly. The new Danube City (not to be equated with today's 22nd district of Vienna beyond the Danube), ie, essentially the area between the north runway (Nordbahn - railway), the Danube and the new Albrecht and Wilhelm barracks was obstructed in 1910 largelly. But having its own parish was still missing, the Danube city still belonged to the parish of Prater Road (Praterstraße). On 19 March 1898 was formed a committee which collected donations for the construction of a large, dignified church on the Danube. This should also be devoted to the 50th Jubilee of Emperor Franz Joseph I.
But the donations and public funds went not as desired, so some construction projects had to be canceled. The site management was to a professor of Medieval architecture, Viktor Launtz, transferred. The church was complemented by a magnificent memorial chapel of Empress Elizabeth. The wife of Emperor Franz Joseph, better known under the name Sisi, who has been murdered on 10th December in 1898 in Geneva by the anarchist Luigi Lucheni.
When the foundation stone was laid on 10 June 1900 it was attended by more than 100,000 people, the Emperor himself three times swung the hammer. The construction dragged on slowly, builder Launtz died in 1903, his successor August Kirstein but remained on his plans. 1913 shell was completed. On 2 November was the solemn blessing of the Church, Emperor Franz Josef, Franz Ferdinand and his successor from 1916 the last Austrian Emperor Charles I were there. The war broke out in 1914, it came to a halt of construction work. After the war, these were continued until 1921, the St. Francis of Assisi Church became a parish in its own right.
The basilica brick building in the Rhenish style is from the picture of the city of Vienna indispensable. The three-nave church next to the Empire bridge (Reichsbrücke) on the Mexico square, with the heavy tower over the crossing, two bell towers on the west facade and richly articulated chancel, is one of the largest churches in Vienna.
