Village Podzhigorodovo, Klin Raion, Moscow Oblast
The church was built in 1778-1783 by two brothers Yurevyh, local noblemen who had a large manor here. It's believed that the architect was the famous Russian architect Vasily Bazhenov. Unusual two-story church with the winter church on the first floor and the summer church on the second floor. The exterior was plastered and whitewashed in 1906.
The last owner of the Podzhigorodovo manor was nobleman Vladimir Sokolov. He was a revolutionary and his party nickname was Volsky. Vladimir Lenin visited Sokolov before the 1917 revolution. There's a photo of Lenin playing chess with Sokolov in his Podzhigorodovo manor house.
Olga remembers climbing the bell tower as a child. The church was used then to store chemical fertilizer. She still recalls the smell of the fertilizer and the treacherous circular staircase.
The church was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church in 1992. Services are presently held in the first floor winter church. The second floor summer church has not been restored. Like many rural churches in Russia, the Church of Saint Mikhail the Archangel is undergoing slow restoration and still dominates the surrounding landscape.
When the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Bloomfield was built in 1961, it was a bit controversial. Many people were unsure about its severely modern architecture. Situated on an odd-shaped plot of urban land across a narrow street from West Penn Hospital, the unusual angles and arches and walls of stained glass have created a sanctuary which is at the same time large and intimate, and not at all austere as are many modern churches.
Because of declining city population, Immaculate Conception has merged with two other churches, another in Bloomfield and one in Lawrenceville, to form St. Maria Goretti Parish. It remains one of the few churches in the city whose doors can be found open every day.

I saw some amazing architecture on my stroll through Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood. The Rockefeller Chapel towers over the intersection of Woodlawn & E. 59th St. It's vertical style standing in stunning contrast to the horizontal nature of Frank Loyd Wright's Robie House which is on the east side of Woodlawn. The chapel was designed by famed early 20th century architect Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue. It was completed in 1928, the final gift to the University of Chicago from benefactor and founder John D. Rockefeller, for whom the Chapel was named after his death.
St Mary the Virgin, Hampton Poyle. The building dates from the thirteenth century and was restored in 1844 and then in 1870 by G. E. Street, the Gothic Revivalist whose best-known work is probably the Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand in London.

Detail from the splendid sixteenth-century table tomb of Thomas Fermor (d. 1580) and his wife Brigitta. Fermor was Lord of the Manor of Somerton from 1552 to 1580 and remained a Catholic all his life, not an easy thing at this turbulent time. In fact the Fermor family were staunch recusants who supported Roman Catholicism in this part of England until after the Roman Catholic Relief Act of 1791. He left an endowment for the establishment of a village school which remained in existence for nearly four centuries. The tomb was commissioned from Richard and Gabriel Roiley of Burton on Trent for the sizeable sum of £40.

Unity Temple in Oak Park (1905-08) by Frank Lloyd Wright. Two boxy buildings of more or less equal area (one square, the other rectangular) linked by a low entrance building offering access to the temple on the right and a community facility on the left. Concrete formwork, with a fine pebbledash finish was employed. Seen from the carpark at the rear.
