Four local attorneys plan to soon lay siege to the old Citadel for the Salvation Army building on East Eighth Street in downtown Cincinnati, designed by famed Cincinnati architect Samuel Hannaford, the force behind timeless local landmarks such as Cincinnati City Hall and Music Hall.
Cincinnati lawyers Herb Haas, William Gallagher, Greg Cohen and Hal Arenstein formed a company late last year to purchase the 95-year-old building for $540,000, with plans to relocate their legal offices and retrofit an old stage area into a mock courtroom. The partners at The Last Citadel LLC said they'll spend as much as $250,000 for the renovation job at the 14,000-square-foot building. "The partners will use the first and second floor, as well as the auditorium and balcony area, as our law offices," Haas said. "On the first floor, where the stage was, where the original Salvation Army functions took place, is where we're going to put the mock courtroom."
Built in 1905 by Samuel Hannaford, the original structure functioned as the Cincinnati, Kentucky and Tennessee divisional headquarters of the Salvation Army. In later years, the building was known as the Citadel Hotel for Workingmen, a 170-room lodging house that charged workers who didn't have a regular home 25 cents for the night, which included regular Gospel services.
Church of the Week: The Citadel, Cincinnati
Desparate Pastor Blog
his week's church of the week is no longer a church, but it was the first church I ever knew. Designed by renowned Cincinnati architect Samuel Hannaford (who also built Cincinnati's Music Hall, City Hall, and many other exceptional buildings, including the historic Shubert Theater, which was demolished in 1976), the Citadel, at 114 E. 8th Street, was built for the Salvation Army's main church (corps) in Cincinnati and as the home of the Ohio and Kentucky divisional headquarters. The upper floors also provided emergency housing at various times in its history. It was probably on the second floor of this building, in children's church led by Mrs. Reed, where I first knelt and prayed for salvation. I also remember the ground-floor entryway a little bit, and the main auditorium and its stage.

From the Parks Canada website:
From the time of its founding in 1749 through the 19th century, Halifax was one of four principal overseas naval stations in the British Empire. To defend Halifax, British military authorities built a series of fortifications in and around this strategic port - a system now known as the Halifax Defence Complex .
The present Citadel, completed in 1856, is the fourth in a series of forts since 1749 to occupy the hill overlooking the harbour. It is an excellent example of a 19th-century bastion fortification complete with defensive ditch, ramparts, musketry gallery, powder magazine and signal masts. Although never attacked, the fort was garrisoned by the British Army until 1906 and by Canadian Forces during the First and Second World Wars.
The fourth Citadel was established to guard against a land-based attack from the United States. This massive, star-shaped, masonry fortification took 28 years to build. Constructed originally as a smoothbore fortification, the Citadel quickly became obsolete with the introduction of powerful rifled guns in the 1860s. In response to the rapidly changing times, the Citadel upgraded its armaments and for the first time could defend the harbour as well as the land approach because the new artillery fired heavier shells a greater distance and with more accuracy.
The major role for the Citadel after the turn of the century was to provide barrack accommodations and act as a command centre for other harbour defences. When the Second World War broke out in 1939, the Citadel was used as a temporary barracks for troops going overseas and as the centre for anti-aircraft operations for Halifax. The Citadel was the "last view of the country for so many thousands outward bound and the first landmark to those who returned."
Today, the Citadel is operated by Parks Canada and is recognized as one of the most important historic sites in Canada. Restored to the mid-Victorian period with a living history program featuring the 78th Highland Regiment, the Royal Artillery, Soldier's Wives and Civilian Tradespersons, a visit to the Citadel is an educational and enjoyable heritage experience. Guided tours, an audio-visual presentation and modern exhibits communicate the historical themes of the Citadel's commemoration as nationally significant in Canadian history.
Rayen Citadel is an adobe castle situated Rayen Citadel is an adobe castle situated in Kerman Province south-west of the city of Rayen and is considered the biggest earthen structure of Kerman province after Bam Citadel.

Our visit to Victoria was very short as we were taking a "hop on hop off" bus around Gozo and had a very small window of time between buses (given that we were trying to prioritise other sites). I feel like we missed out by not going in but we knew that we'd have another cathedral to visit in Valetta.
