"His Better Does Not Breathe Upon The Earth”
William Bullough came from a family with enormous wealth. He was son of John Bullough a founder of the Accrington textile engineers Howard and Bullough. William appears to have had little to do with the day to day business, living, I assume, on inherited shares and other wealth. On the father's death William's brother George assumed control. The family had a penchant for owning parts of Scotland most spectacularly the Isle of Rum. William seemed to be more modest in his landholding. Being a man into shooting and fishing he had the tenancy of Aboyne Castle moors. At the time of his death he was living as an invalid, with his wife Marion, in Aberdeen's Palace Hotel his main residence was a bit more up market at Sloane Square London.
Dunfermline City Chambers is a municipal facility in Dunfermline, Fife. The building, which houses the Council Chambers, the Burgh Court and Dunfermline's Registrar Office, is a Category A listed building.
The site chosen had previously been occupied by an older town house built in 1771. The new building was designed by James Campbell Walker in the French Gothic style. It features a prominent four-face clock tower and was constructed between 1876 and 1879.
There are many features of historic and architectural significance in the building. The structure includes heraldic stones recovered from the demolished 1771 town house. These are plausibly believed to have originated from the now derelict Dunfermline Palace, a few hundred yards to the south. The finely designed interior of the City Chambers incorporates many notable features, in particular the oak hammerbeam roof which provides the ceiling for the Council Chamber itself. The historic police cells, although no longer in use, have also been preserved.
The stonework on the Bridge Street façade includes busts of Malcolm Canmore, Queen Margaret, Robert the Bruce and Elizabeth de Burgh. Artwork includes Sir Joseph Noel Paton's painting, Spirit of Religion, and Stanley Cursiter's portrait of Queen Margaret.
The building was the seat of government of the royal burgh of Dunfermline until it was replaced by Dunfermline District under the wider Fife Regional Council in May 1975. The district council was abolished in 1996, under the Local Government etc (Scotland) Act 1994, and the building ceased to be a seat of government. Nowadays, the role of the building is the headquarters of the local area committee of Fife Council. [Wikipedia]

Konzipiert als Dublin Büros für Lord Lever (Lever Brothers), von dem Liverpool Architekten Edward Ould.
Erbaut in einem romantischen italienischen Stil mit seinem breiten Dachrinnen , Ziegeldach und Lauben in den oberen Etagen verfügt das Gebäude über eine der ungewöhnlichsten architektonischen Besonderheiten in Dublin - zwei mehrfarbige Terrakotta Friesen, die die Geschichte der Hygiene darstellt.
Das Gebäude traf auf den Widerstand der Architekten in Dublin zur der Zeit (Lutyens hatte dieses Problem auch in dieser Zeit)
Nach seiner Fertigstellung wurde es es das hässlichste Gebäude in Dublin genannt, während ein paar Jahre später die gleichen Zeitschrift es" pompös und klasse ' nannte.
Designed as Dublin offices for Lord Lever (of Lever Brothers), by the Liverpool architect Edward Ould who also designed Port Sunlight. Built in a romantic Italianate style with its wide overhanging eaves, tiled roof, and arcaded upper floors, the building boasts one of the most unusual architectural features in Dublin – two multi-coloured terracotta friezes depicting the history of hygiene.
The building met with resistance from architects in Dublin at the time due to the fact that a foreign architect had been hired (Lutyens also had this problem around this time). Upon its completion, ‘The Irish Builder’ referred to it as the ugliest building in Dublin, while a few years later the same journal called it ‘pretentious and mean’.

This photo was taken of the City Chambers from George Square in Glasgow. The area was actually quite busy that evening so timing was critical. This was the first time out with the M.Zuiko 17mm f1.2 Pro lens, however I couldn't see a considerable difference in Image Quality when I compared it with the M.Zuiko 12-40 f2.8 so I decided to let it go again.
St Mary's Chambers started life in 1856 when it was a United Methodist Church.
In the 1930's attendances were falling, and this Church was no exception. After the second world war the premises, now no longer a Methodist Church, was used as a social centre by groups for the local elderly residents. By the early 1990s its condition had deteriorated so badly that it became unusable.
The building has now been extensively renovated with support from English Heritage and is home to several businesses as well as being promoted as a conference and banqueting centre.

The Oriel Chambers in Liverpool, completed in 1864, designed by Peter Ellis, pictured on the left was the world's first building featuring a metal framed glass curtain wall. Extremely ahead of it's time and initially not well received, critics said that the brick warehouses looked superior!
The amazing central courtyard bathed in the light of the rising sun at Chamber du Commerce in Belgium. I knew I would love this place but the actual experience of being there really was something extra special.

Epic sunset over Puget Sound viewed from Chambers Bay. Calm currents reflect the last rays of sunlight on the Sound. Ketron Island and Steilacoom are visible left center over the "Bridge to Nowhere".
This image is one of my personal favorites. It shows best at maximum brightness which brings out the foreground contours and sparkles.
