"I concluded at the last to set up my staff at the library door in Oxon; being thoroughly persuaded, that in my solitude, and surcease from the Commonwealth affairs, I could not busy myself to better purpose, than by reducing that place, which then in every part lay ruined and waste, to the public use of students..."

The 1900 apartment building is located at 317 Bleecker in Manhattan.The monogrammed "G" on the fire escape were added around the 1940's and perhaps represent the cross street the building is near,Groves St.If you view larger you'll see some faces near the center.I personally like the fire escape reflection in the window.

The Romanesque Revival Style commercial structure was completed in 1892. The Roman arched windows, horizontal belt courses and the rounded turrets identify it as Romanesque Revival. It honors Judge William Brown, a pioneer of Rockford.
The Flevo building is located on the Achtergracht in Zwolle and is a municipal monument from 1898.
For a long time the craft school was located here, later the IJsselmeer Polders Service was housed and hence plans for the Flevopolder were put into execution. Then the building was called 'Flevogebouw'. (Source: wikipedia).

Standing in front of a pretty castle, you have, of course, to take pictures from many different angles - but this is the last one of the series.
This is the manor 'La Saucerie' (in French Manoir de la Saucerie), built by Robert Le Saucier. He was a servant to the queen of England, Eleanor of Aquitaine (when the kings of England also were dukes of Normandy) in the late 12th century.
A medieval motte castle was built on the spot. But in the late 16th century, or early 17th, the top part of the castle was replaced by the wooden structure still seen today, and the place (which was, by then, terribly out of fashion) was turned into something like a gate-house for a proper Renaissance manor, built nearby. The later manor burnt down in 1860, but these medieval parts art still standing.
Ce musée est installé dans l'ancien refuge de l'abbaye d'Orval, ainsi que dans quelques maisons praticiennes.
