Built in 1881 by Adolf Cluss and Paul Schulze, the Arts and Industries Building is the second oldest of the Smithsonian Museums. The 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exposition had obtained funding from Congress, which stipulated that if the funding was repaid it would be earmarked for a new National Museum. This turned out to be the case, and the new museum opened in time for the inauguration of Pres James Garfield, boasting of four large pavilions in a cruciform pattern with large skylights. The new museum mainly served to house artifacts on natural history and technical arts, including exhibits on geology, metallurgy, zoology, medicine, anthropology, art, history and technologies such as ceramics, printing, transportation, textiles, fisheries, and agriculture. In 1910 most of the natural history artifacts were moved to the National Museum of Natural History. Most of the remaining exhibits were moved to the National Museum of American History in 1964, and in 1976, the rocket and aviation collections were moved to the National Air and Space Museum. This left the building more or less empty. It 2014 the building was ordered closed, though after restoration it has only been opened for short-term exhibitions. While there are talks about using it to house the National Museum of the American Latino, the building's fate remains unclear.

dates from a major rebuilding of between 1412 and 1429. However, the feature that cannot be ignored is the chapel and porch of John Greenway built in 1517. The carvings are just amazing. There are anchors and waves and ships of all kinds coming at you from all angles; not to mention the Barbary apes. This church was built on the back of trade: the wool trade which made Tiverton rich in the early 16th century.
Greenway was a poor Tiverton lad who rose to join the Drapers Company of London in 1497. His later association with the more widely trading Merchant Adventurers led him to become not only a wool-trader, but a ship owner with vessels such as the Trinity Greenway and Charity Greenway working out of Dartmouth. They are perhaps depicted on his chantry chapel. His monograms and merchants marks certainly appear within, along with his fine brass memorial.
A second chantry chapel, in memory of the famous Courtenay family, the Earls of Devon, once stood in the churchyard. It housed, amongst others, the gilded effigial monument of Princess Katherine, daughter of King Edward IV and wife of Sir William Courtenay, who died in 1527; but, unfortunately, the, already dilapidated building, was all but demolished during the Civil War.

Another 'interesting' house in Histon. It's interesting because there are at least 4 identical houses across Histon and Impington. This one's at the junction of Station Road and West Road and dates from 1909. It's name, Mavisbank, is in stone on the right hand gable. The other similar houses which I know of are on Cottenham Road, Impington Lane and Cambridge Road.

I took my son here this morning so he could have some lab work done for his physician. While he went in for the blood-letting, I sat in my truck and sketched the building.
Dome Saint Salvator of Fulda. The Fulda Dome is the symbol of the city. Inside the cathedral is, inter alia, the tomb of St. Boniface, the first apostle of the Germans. The plans of the cathedral were in 1700 by one of the most important German baroque architects, Johann Dientzenhofer (1663-1726), on behalf of Prince-Abbot Adalbert von Schleifras manufactured. The previous building, the Ratgarbasilika, once the largest basilica north of the Alps, has been razed to the ground in favor of the new cathedral, before in 1704, the construction in the (then current) Baroque style was begun. On August 15, 1712, cathedral was consecrated. The Fulda Cathedral in its internal system is modeled according to the St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
The Ratgar Basilica was built in 791-819 in Fulda monastery and named after the builder, the monk Ratgar. The basilica was a Holy Sepulcher over the relics of St. Boniface. It was created after the model of the great Peter's Basilica in Rome and was the largest church building north of the Alps. Construction swallowed so considerable amounts of ressources that Abbot Ratger was expelled from the convent of the monastery.
During the Middle Ages the building structure crumbled more and more, so that the Ratgar Basilica in 1700 was demolished. In its place, the baroque Fulda Cathedral was built by Johann Dientzenhofer over the tomb of Boniface.
Die Ratgar-Basilika wurde zwischen 791 und 819 im Kloster Fulda erbaut und nach dem Baumeister, dem Mönch Ratgar, benannt. Die Basilika war eine Grabeskirche über den Gebeinen des Heiligen Bonifatius. Sie entstand nach dem Vorbild des großen Petersdoms in Rom und war der größte Kirchenbau nördlich der Alpen. Der Bau verschlang so große Mittel, dass Abt Ratger vom Konvent des Klosters vertrieben wurde.
Im Verlaufe des Mittelalters zerfiel die Bausubstanz immer mehr, sodass die Ratgar-Basilika 1700 abgerissen wurde. An ihrer Stelle wurde über der Bonifatiusgruft von Johann Dientzenhofer der barocke Fuldaer Dom errichtet.
Dom St. Salvator zu Fulda: Der Fuldaer Dom ist das Wahrzeichen der Stadt. Im Inneren des Doms befindet sich u. a. die Grabstätte des Hl. Bonifatius, des ersten Apostels der Deutschen. Die Pläne des Doms wurden im Jahr 1700 von einem der bedeutendsten deutschen Barockbaumeister, Johann Dientzenhofer (1663–1726), im Auftrag von Fürstabt Adalbert von Schleifras angefertigt. Der Vorgängerbau, die Ratgarbasilika, einst größte Basilika nördlich der Alpen, wurde zugunsten des neuen Doms niedergelegt, ehe 1704 der Bau im (damals aktuellen) barocken Stil begonnen wurde. Am 15. August 1712 wurde der Dom geweiht. Der Dom zu Fulda ist seinem inneren System nach an den Petersdom in Rom angelehnt.
Inveraray enjoys a picturesque setting on the shores of Loch Fyne, where it meets Loch Shira. It was built on the site of an earlier fishing village in the mid 1700s by the 3rd Duke of Argyll, Chief of the powerful Clan Campbell. He demolished the original village to give his rebuilt castle more space, and rehoused the population in a new town that is one of the most attractive in Scotland.
The original village of Inveraray stood in the parkland that now extends south east from Inveraray Castle to the main A83. It had grown following the move of the Campbells to "old" Inveraray Castle in the mid 1400s from their previous stronghold at Innis Chonnell Castle on an island in Loch Awe.
Inveraray was well enough established to become a burgh of barony in 1472 and a royal burgh in 1648. With a good natural harbour and lying at a key focal point in the limited road network across Argyll, it had effectively become the legal and administrative centre for the county by the early 1700s. Its development went hand in hand with the growing power of the Campbells and the importance of their seat at Inveraray Castle.
The idea of replacing the 1400s tower house with a modern residence befitting the status and power of the Dukes of Argyll first occurred to the 2nd Duke in 1720. When the 3rd Duke of Argyll succeeded to his title in 1743 he commissioned an architect, and work began in 1745. As part of the project he created open parkland by demolishing the existing village of Inveraray, which stood between the castle and the sea.
The new town of Inveraray was built on a site to the south than its predecessor, out of sight of the castle. The new town had two main elements - Front Street ran almost west from the harbour to a large inn placed near the gates to the park for Inveraray Castle and the very grand Main Street ran parallel with the shore of Loch Fyne and at right angles to Front Street.
This comprised large white-harled buildings on both sides while in its centre it bulged out into Church Square to accommodate the classical bulk of the Glenaray and Inveraray Parish Church, built between 1792 and 1802 by Robert Mylne. This was originally built as a double church, with one half worshipping in Gaelic while the other half worshipped in Scots.
The area between Main Street and Loch Fyne is a warren of small streets, but a large part of it is occupied by Inveraray Jail. To the west, Main Street backs onto The Avenue, now the village's main car park.

Built in 1775 as the last building constructed in the garden according to the plans of Austrian imperial architect Johann Ferdinand Hetzendorf von Hohenberg as a "temple of renown" to serve as both a focal point and a lookout point for the garden, it was used as a dining hall and festival hall as well as a breakfast room for emperor Franz Joseph I. The dining hall, which was used up until the end of the monarchy, today has a café in it, and on the roof an observation platform overlooks Vienna. The Gloriette's decorative sculptures were made by the famous Salzburg sculptor Johann Baptist von Hagenauer.

The Allen Depot is located in… you guessed it downtown Allen Texas. The depot is maintained in excellent shape and is used as the Heritage Center.
This is how I'll remember Calvin College's original administration building on the former Franklin Street campus - without the curving ramps and parking lot, which are features added by the Grand Rapids Public Schools in the 1990s. I'm all for accommodating those with physical challenges and disabilities, but the sweeping curve of the ramps clashes with the classical lines of the building, in my opinion. And don't even get me started about the parking lot...
