Built in 1929, but not registered until 8 March 1930, GC 8638 left the factory as a Lagonda 2 litre speed model fitted with a fabric saloon body. This car, later upgraded with a 4453cc Rapide engine, is seen at The Classic Motor Hub.
Built in 1771, on the ruins of its predecessor (built in 1655 but having burnt to the ground a century later), this is the second-oldest surviving church in Montreal.
Standing as it does beside the city's Old Port, it eventually acquired the nickname "the Sailor's Chapel" - and its interior decoration has progressively added nautical elements, many of which were donated by sailors themselves (though none are visible here).

During all three of my trips to Hong Kong, the West Kowloon waterfront promenade has been a building site. This time, slightly less so although it's much smaller than my first visit in 2016. Perhaps one day I'll return and it'll be all done. Although it is part of a whopper of a development, so who knows.
There was a breakwater that I really wanted to get onto to take a unobstructed view of these towers but there was a ~5 foot fence and I felt very unsure about climbing over. For one thing, there were lots of people out and about and another... it just feels so much less 'ok' to break the rules in a country that isn't your own. I don't want to get into trouble on holiday.

Built from the 11th century onwards and completed in the 15th century, it is the spiritual and human centre.
The four galleries are arranged around a small courtyard with a rainwater cistern inside.
Each gallery opens onto the courtyard through arcatures resting on columns surmounted by capitals
The NORTH GALLERY is the oldest and had a funerary function.
At the end of the gallery, the vaults are supported by strong consoles
which illustrate a fabulous bestiary (salamanders, quadrupeds.)
A WESTERN GALLERY Under a pediment with two ramps and a segmental arch decorated with fleurons, two tombs carved into the rock.
The remains and ashes of the first benefactors of the abbey in the 11th century have been placed in these tombs.
This is the only gallery in the cloister to have retained its Romanesque capitals
Built in 30 BC is one of the most beautiful places in Sicily. Notice Mt Etna in the distance. It is the tallest active volcano in Europe.
Built in 1885 by local builder George Willoughby, this historic stone structure once held the council chambers, library and auditorium, and is a great example of German Romanesque revival style architecture.
I think the modern new entrance disfigures the building.
Built for Swebrick autumn challenge.
I knew I wanted to do a nature scene with autumn colors. Later on it became Zelda-themed and I added elements from one of my all time favorite games, BotW. Can you spot the koroks?

Built in Oct 1946, the former EMD SW1 demo unit #700 (which became MJRY #33), waits its fate with the scrapper after being stripped by vandals while sitting inside the roundhouse for years after operations ceased in 2007. Nov 21, 2012
Built for New Elementary article on 7037: Brick 2x2x⅔ Half Circle with 2 Studs and Curved Top. Very happy with this.

The bell tower was built between 1688 and 1705 by Juan Bautista Viñes, whose name is engraved on a commemorative tombstone that we can see at its base. A masterpiece of Valencian Baroque, it has a hexagonal floor plan, and its elevation is divided into four floors separated by moldings, plus the body of bells and the upper finish. Originally, it was called a Solomonic bell because of the helical columns that adorn this upper part. It also stands out for the projections like pilasters that adorn its corners and for the decoration of its windows, where the ephemeral Baroque decorative style was transferred masterfully to stone.
El campanario fue construido entre 1688 y 1705 por Juan Bautista Viñes, cuyo nombre aparece grabado en una lápida conmemorativa que podemos ver en su base. Obra maestra del barroco valenciano, es de planta hexagonal, y su alzado se divide en cuatro pisos separados por molduras, más el cuerpo de campanas y el remate superior. En su origen se le llamó campanar salomónico por las columnas helicoidales que adornan esa parte alta. Destaca asimismo por los resaltes a modo de pilastras que adornan sus ángulos y por la decoración de sus ventanas, donde el estilo decorativo del barroco efímero se trasladó con maestría a la piedra.

...very nice of them to do so.....
The first fortified structure was not built on the island until the early 13th century as a defensive measure, protecting the lands of Kintail against the Vikings who raided, settled and controlled much of the North of Scotland and the Western Isles between 800 and 1266. From the mid 13th century, this area was the quite seperate “Sea Kingdom” of the Lord of the Isles where the sea was the main highway and the power of feuding clan chiefs was counted by the number of men and galleys or “birlinns” at their disposal. Eilean Donan offered the perfect defensive position
Built in 2000 for Arkia as 4X-BAW and seen here on short final for RWY26L at London Gatwick (EGKK/LGW) arriving as ICE6YH from Reykjavik (BIKF/KEF).
Built for the second War Zone over on Guild of Historica on Eurobricks! Story will be available there soon. Enjoy!
Built between 1089 and 1499, the cathedral is one of the finest medieval buildings in England. Famous burials include King Edward II.
Built circa 1300 and from this period until the 18th century it was owned by the Basset family, located near Cowbridge South Wales
My village is mainly brick-built, and even the roofing tiles, at least for the older buildings, are made from clay. The reason is that slate became fashionable only in the 19th century, long after these buildings were erected. Larger rooms used to have their individual fireplace and, hence, their own chimney.
I really like that series title Joe O'Malley (www.flickr.com/photos/64joe/) gives to many of his pictures. Very adequate. I hope you won't mind me borrowing it! Last Friday I decided to finally do that walk from Frankfurt to Mainz. All together well over 40 kilometers, and doing that under such hot weather turned out to be as stupid an idea as it sounds. Until the Schwanheimer Düne it's a quite a nice walk. From there until the mouth of the Main well, if you're looking for 2022 top Minimal Tourism destination, don't look any further! Not worth a second time. These here are the jet fuel tanks in Raunheim, seen from the Ölhafenbrücke.
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves and comments, they are always appreciated :)
Built at Saint Sylvestre-sur-Lot in the middle-ages, the Chateau is marked by more than 700 years of history.
Originally a fortified farm, the property has evolved with its successive owners. During the 16th and 17th centuries building work began to construct new main buildings and towers. In the 18th century the windows were completely redesigned in arch style. In the 19th century, the estate passed via marriage to the Dordaygue family who erected a building at the south side. The whole property was restored in 1992 before becoming a luxury hotel. However, in 2008, the company who ran the hotel went into liquidation and the estate fell into a state of neglect.
A new lease of life has been given to the chateau by Philippe Ginestet, local man and owner director of the Gifi group. In 2011 he purchased the estate and, with his friend and architect Jacques Bru, decided to create a unique hotel complex. Several months of work was necessary to get their audacious architectural project up and running and thus give birth to this exceptional place.
Gebouwd in Saint Sylvestre-sur-Lot in de middeleeuwen, wordt het kasteel gekenmerkt door meer dan 700 jaar geschiedenis.
Oorspronkelijk een versterkte boerderij, is het pand geëvolueerd met zijn opeenvolgende eigenaren. Tijdens de 16e en 17e eeuw begon men met de bouw van nieuwe hoofdgebouwen en torens. In de 18e eeuw werden de ramen volledig opnieuw ontworpen in boogstijl. In de 19e eeuw ging het landgoed via huwelijk over op de familie Dordaygue die een gebouw aan de zuidkant liet bouwen. Het hele pand werd in 1992 gerestaureerd voordat het een luxe hotel werd. In 2008 ging het bedrijf dat het hotel runde echter in liquidatie en raakte het landgoed in een staat van verwaarlozing.
Het kasteel is nieuw leven ingeblazen door Philippe Ginestet, lokale man en eigenaar-directeur van de Gifi-groep. In 2011 kocht hij het landgoed en besloot samen met zijn vriend en architect Jacques Bru een uniek hotelcomplex te realiseren. Er waren enkele maanden werk nodig om hun gedurfd architecturaal project op de rails te krijgen en zo deze uitzonderlijke plek te laten ontstaan.
Built in 1837 in Oatlands, Tasmania. The windmill had it's sails restored in 2010, having lost them in a storm way back in 1909.
Built to be the Pennsylvania State House, the building originally housed all three branches of Pennsylvania's colonial government. The Pennsylvania legislature loaned their Assembly Room out for the meetings of the Second Continental Congress and later, the Constitutional Convention. Here, George Washington was appointed Commander in Chief of the Continental Army in 1775. The Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution were both debated and signed inside this building. The tower you see today dates to 1828 when the city hired architect William Strickland to restore the original steeple. Strickland deviated from the original design, incorporating a clock and additional ornamentation.

Built in 1892 in collaboration with British engineer Charles Assheton Whately Pownall during the Meiji era (1868–1912) when Japan was rapidly modernizing. It served as a railway passage between Yokokawa in Gunma and Karuizawa in Nagano. Services stopped in 1963, and the bridge was repurposed as part of a nature trail in 2001.
Built as a replica of Kilkenny Castle in Ireland and made of limestone, the 100,000 square foot building was intended to be the main residence of the estate. However, it did not suit the builder. Howard Gould's wife. The couple then decided to build Hempstead House (see preceding picture) across a large open green (except for a few trees). Castle Gould then served as the stable, carriage house and servants' quarters. It is now a Visitor's Center.

"Built an opera house for you in the deepest jungle
And I walked across its stage, singing with my eyes closed
I've got a love for you I just can't escape
All of my love for you cuts me like barbed wire
Ooh, I was meant to love you
And always keep you in my life
Ooh, I was meant to love you
I knew I loved you at first sight"

Built in 1903, the Boldt Yacht House on Wellesley Island, adjacent to Bolt Castle on Heart Island, housed the Boldt’s family yachts and a houseboat. It also featured a shop to build racing launches and quarters for crew and staff. The building embodies the Golden Age structure’s shingle-style architecture. Inside the Yacht House, you will find a collection of antique wooden boats, courtesy of the Antique Boat Museum located in Clayton, New York. The Boldt Yacht House also features the landmark steam yacht Kestrel. It was designed by D. Crawford and built by George Lawley & Son shipyard in South Boston in 1892. After a succession of several owners, repairs and replacements, it was donated to the Thousand Islands Bridge Authority in 2009 for a permanent display at the Yacht House for the enjoyment of present and future generations. The steam yacht Kestrel is representative of the period and vessels owned and operated by George C. Boldt.
The Boldt Castle Yacht House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Built in 1907 and has an interior that is very similar to the style that the Titanic was finished in. Hope that this will open once again for tours so that I can see the inside.
Originally built in 1637 by Guillaume Bautru, Comte de Serrant, the building was a private mansion designed by the architect Louis le Vau. In 1652, it was sold to Jean-Baptiste Colbert, Louis XIV's famous minister, and then to Philippe d'Orléans in 1719.
In 1806, it was occupied by the State Debt Fund, until it was sold in 1825. The mansion was then demolished to make way for the current building and the opening of the Galerie Colbert in 1828, which was to compete with the Galerie Vivienne.
Under Louis-Philippe, a novelty shop called ‘Au Grand Colbert’ opened its doors.
The name was retained until 1900, when it was converted into a restaurant.
A scene in "Something's Gotta Give" was filmed here.
