The Richardson Olmsted Complex is located a the center of a large park-like campus on the north side of Buffalo, New York, adjacent to the campus of Buffalo State College. Constructed in 1870 as a mental hospital, the campus's Medina red sandstone and brick structures were built according to the Kirkbride Plan, among grounds that were landscaped by Frederick Law Olmsted. Designed by Henry Hobson Richardson, the building was his largest commission during his storied and significant career, and is an early example of the Richardson Romanesque style, which would later bear the name of its creator. The building was home to administrative facilities in the central tower, which is flanked by five pavilions on each side, which progressively stair-step backwards, for a total of 11 structures in the interconnected complex. During its operation, patients were segregated by sex, with Males being housed in the eastern pavilions, and women in the western pavilions. The building remained in use until the mid-1970s, when patients were transferred to more modern facilities elsewhere on the campus, though the central pavilion continued to be used as office space until 1994. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and was named a National Historic Landmark in 1986. The building has been the site of preservation campaigns since the 1960s due to its significance; However, three brick pavilions on the eastern end of the complex were demolished in the 1970s to allow for room to build newer psychiatric facilities on the grounds. The building went through a period of significant and prolonged deterioration and uncertainty between the 1970s and 2008, with the unsecured facility becoming vandalized, decayed, and unsafe. However, in 2008, in the wake of a successful lawsuit filed by the Preservation Coalition of Erie County, the State of New York was forced to commit $100 million in order to rehabilitate the structure. Between the spring of 2008 and the fall of 2012, the complex was stabilized, and in 2013, the South Lawn was converted from parking lots back into the original, verdant green space it was meant to be. In 2017, the first phase of the building's adaptive reuse and rehabilitation was completed, which transformed the central three pavilions into the Hotel Henry and Conference Center, with the Buffalo Architecture Center also opening in the renovated structure. The plans for the complex currently are to convert the remaining intact but vacant pavilions into additional space for the Hotel Henry Urban Resort Conference Center, which will be spectacular once it completely transforms and revitalizes this amazing structure.
The Lower Trout Lake Bathhouse Complex and Contact Station includes five Mid-Century Modern resources, located on
two separate land parcels, in the same section of the Bald Mountain Recreation Area in Orion Township. The Lower Trout Lake Bathhouse Complex and Contact Station was designed in the mid-1960s by internationally renowned Michigan
architect Gunnar Birkerts. The larger of the two parcels of land contains a bathhouse complex of four closely spaced circular buildings – Men’s and Women’s Bathhouses, a Concession Stand, and a Pump House – all grouped within a large
circular pad of concrete pavement set back from the beach at Lower Trout Lake. The nomination also includes a small round Contact Station or “control booth” located about 4,600 feet away on the entrance road into this southern section of
the Bald Mountain Recreation Area. The buildings are closely related by their circular forms, concrete construction, and,
before vandals stripped them, copper roofs.
The Lower Trout Lake Bathhouse Complex and Contact Station is significant under criteria A and C. It is a set of Park
Service Modern buildings inspired by the nationwide Mission 66 program. The buildings were designed by world renowned architect Gunnar Birkerts who is known for his high-style modern structures. The Lower Trout Lake Bathhouse Complex and Contact Station’s structures are examples of two complimentary forms of mid-century modern design; one, a style of park building known as Park Service Modern, made popular by the National Park Service and the Mission 66 program architects; the other, the distinctive architectural style produced by Gunnar Birkerts at the time, during the beginning of the busiest point in his career. The buildings are less than fifty years old, yet because of their unique design, association with a
nation-wide program, and were designed by a master architect; they are eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places at the National level.
The Lower Trout Lake Bathhouse Complex and
Contact Station was listed in the National Register of HIstoric Places on September 3, 2013.

Scenes from the CZU August Lightning Complex Fire that raged on rural Santa Cruz County, California mid August 2020. The fire is believed to be caused by a lightning storm.
The Maria Wörth church complex consists of the parish and former collegiate church, the smaller winter church, a Romanesque cirque as well as the cemeteries and the three churchyard portals. It stands on a rocky peninsula on Lake Wörthersee , which was an island until 1770, when a connection was created between the church island and the mainland as a result of landfills and the lowering of the water level. The patronage of the parish church is the Assumption of Mary .
History
The town of “ Uweride ” came into the possession of the diocese of Freising between 875 and 883 . As part of the Innichen monastery 's Slavic mission , an original parish and a mission center for Carinthia were created here. A church, first mentioned in documents in 894, was built under Bishop Waldo of Freising . The relics of the church patrons Primus and Felicianus were transferred from Rome at an unknown date. Around 1146, Bishop Otto of Freising founded a collegiate foundation with a provost and five, later six, canon benefices. This could have been the reason for the construction of the new church, which was consecrated in 1155. In 1399 a serious fire damaged the church. After Maria Wörth was reduced to a sinecure , a benefice without official duties, Emperor Maximilian I handed the church over to the Order of the Knights of St. George in Millstatt in 1529 . In 1598 it was taken over by the Graz Jesuits . With the handover to the Jesuit order, the second oldest provost in Carinthia ceased to exist, as the Jesuits did not know of any such institutions. When Pope Clement XIV banned the Jesuit order in 1773, Maria Wörth became a secular parish, which in 1808 was placed under the patronage of the Benedictines of Saint Paul . An exterior restoration took place in 1973, and the late Gothic architectural polychromy was restored in 1991.
Building
The church building consists of a slender north tower, a high square nave with a hipped wooden shingle roof and a lower choir with a 5/8 end above a Romanesque crypt that was renovated in the 14th to 15th centuries . To the south there is a side choir and a sacristy . The slender tower with gables has two-part tracery windows and is crowned by a pointed helmet . The bells were cast by Georg Seiser in 1640.
The choir and the side walls of the nave are supported by multi-tiered buttresses . On the closed west wall there is a large Christopher fresco from 1658 and on the south wall there are remains of a Mount of Olives fresco restored in 1930 with the year 1521.
There is a round-arched Gothic portal on the north side of the nave. The church is entered through the south portal. This Romanesque arched portal with cube-shaped capitals and steep bases, created around 1150, is made of marble and has an open, covered porch. To the right of the portal there is a sacrificial niche with the relief figure of St. Primus, a stonemason's mark and the year 1540.
The two-aisled , two-bay hall nave is separated by strong round pillars of unequal width. In the western part of the nave, particularly the vault, was heavily modified in the 17th century. The two-bay main choir is raised by six steps by the crypt below. A Gothic ribbed star vault extends above the choir in a bent row with painted keystones, which rests on profiled circular services . The high two- and three-part tracery windows are equipped with window glass from 1893.
A ribbed net vault stretches over the southern side choir, and a four-diamond vault on the ground floor of the tower, which is used as a baptismal chapel. The window niche on the ground floor of the tower, which is arched with a delicate ribbed net, was originally intended to hold an altar or a statuette. The organ gallery is vaulted with basket and round arches and has a stone parapet in relief.
Below the main choir is the three-bay hall crypt with a ridged cross vault on marble pillars with a square floor plan or wall pilasters. On the walls of the crypt, the 15th-century frescoes are poorly preserved; the scrollwork patterns in the vault were added in the 17th century.
Setup
High altar
The blue and gold-framed high altar dates from 1658 and in the central niche contains a late Gothic statue of grace of an enthroned Mary and child, created around 1460, which is surrounded on the outside by the statues of the church patrons Primus and Felician. The top image depicts the coronation of Mary and is flanked by the statues of Saints Catherine and Barbara . The end of the altar is an IHS symbol between the Jesuit saints Ignatius and Francis Xavier .
Pulpit
A highlight of Baroque carving is the richly furnished pulpit from 1771. It was originally located on the north wall, where access was via a staircase with a parapet that wound around the pillar. Today the pulpit is on the north side of the choir and can be reached via the stairs to the choir. The reliefs on the pulpit parapet depict the twelve-year-old Jesus in the temple ( Lk 2:41-52 EU ), the ascension of Christ and the handing over of the keys to Peter . The four evangelists sit on ridges on the parapet . The oval relief on the back wall of the pulpit shows Christ as the Good Shepherd . Pope Paul III is written on the sound cover . , who sends out the kneeling Francis Xavier and Ignatius. Of the two putti floating behind it , one is holding an open book. The sound cover is crowned by an IHS symbol with a halo decorated with putti. On a cartouche on the sound cover are the words “MALLEUS CONTERENS PETRAM EST VERBUM MEUM JER 23 1761”. This quote from Jeremiah 23:29 translates as: “My word is like a hammer that breaks a rock.” A sculptural dove of the Holy Spirit is attached to the underside of the sound cover in a halo.
Further setup
A picture of Our Lady of Mercy in the style of Italian Trecento painting with a baroque frame hangs on the north wall of the choir. According to the inscription, it was donated by Provost Vorchtenau in 1469 and consecrated by Pope Paul II . At the northern choir service there is a statuette of a kneeling donor with a coat of arms from the beginning of the 16th century on a console. On the south wall of the choir hangs an oval picture of St. Joseph with a child in a rich baroque frame from the middle of the 18th century. The tabernacle originally comes from the Church of Saint Anna near Reifnitz and was restored in 1995.
In the southern side choir there is an eight-sided marble baptismal font from 1682, which was transferred from Millstatt. The angels on the wooden top represent symbols of transience . The death shield of Ulrich Peuscher von Leonstein, who died in 1530, and his wife Elisabeth Waldekh are attached to the shield wall.
On the west wall of the baptismal chapel hang two late Gothic panel paintings that originally come from a winged altar; the doctors of the church Hieronymus and Gregory are depicted on them. Among them is a votive image marked 1647, which was donated on the occasion of salvation from a rafting accident on the Drau . The cross altar, made around 1740, with a late Gothic crucifix is attached to the north wall. God the Father , the Holy Spirit and numerous putti float above the cross . Below the cross sits a Mother of God pierced by seven swords .
The very slender southern side altar from the middle of the 18th century contains a statue of the Sacred Heart by Konrad Campidell and the baroque carved figures of the church patrons. The figure of St. Andrew on the western rear wall of the church is a fragment of an altar from the middle of the 18th century. An early Baroque protective cloak Madonna stands on a popular carrying pole .
Winter Church
The winter or rosary church is located a little lower to the west of the parish church. It is probably the St. Mary's Church, consecrated in 1155 by Bishop Roman von Gurk . It got the name “Winter Church” because the anniversaries of the saints who were venerated in it fell in the winter.
The church building consists of a nave, a recessed rectangular choir with an eastern roof turret and a chapel room to the south. The small, originally flat-roofed choir square church was given a ridged cross vault at the beginning of the 16th century. The arched sacrificial niche to the right of the portal is marked 1524. Window openings and the chapel and sacristy additions also date from the Gothic period. A bell from the 14th century hangs in the roof turret with a baroque onion helmet.
The wall paintings in the choir square from the fourth quarter of the 12th century were uncovered in 1895 and restored in 1969. They show an enthroned Pantocrator in a mandorla and twelve apostles in turreted arcades with a wide palmette ornamental band and curtain base. During the course of the restoration, additional frescoes were uncovered on the north wall of the nave and on the northern wall of the triumphal arch. These frescoes, painted in the second quarter of the 14th century, are depictions of saints with an ornamental base strip and remains of an inscription, as well as a crucifix with a branch cross in the window reveal. The glass painting in the choir window with a Mary and child was made around 1420/1430, the pointed arched windows in 1898. A Roman period inscription fragment is attached to the church.
Setup
After the restoration in 1996, three altars from the 17th century were re-erected on the north side. They consist of similar columns or pilaster retables with split gable attachments and differently shaped and framed upper images. The statues of Saints Apollonia and Lucia are depicted on the first altar as well as Saint Agatha in the upper image , the Gothic sculpture of Saint Valentine on the second and the Holy Spirit dove in the upper image. At the third altar is the Gothic statue of St. Nicholas , the upper image shows the Madonna. In the south chapel there is an altar with a rich wall retable with fleshy acanthus tendrils on the side . The figure of St. Nepomuk stands on it and the Holy Spirit dove is shown again in the upper picture.
On the left side of the triumphal arch wall there is a statue of Our Lady from the first half of the 15th century, on the opposite side there is a late Gothic lamentation group created around 1500 . In the southern chapel there is an early Gothic vestment cupboard with fittings.
Karner
The late Romanesque Karner , consecrated in 1279 , stands east of the parish church and is dedicated to Saints Catherine, Elisabeth and Magdalena . The two-story round building is covered by a conical roof and has a Gothic portal from the 16th century with a wrought iron grille from 1742. The apse , which only protrudes slightly from the building , rests on a stepped console that tapers downwards. The vaulted basement is still used for burial, the upper floor is used as a funeral hall.
Church portals
A portal with a covered staircase marked with the year 1687 leads to the parish church. On the portal with its framed stone walls, a Madonna and child and the saints Primus and Felicianus are depicted in three painted niches. Two arched portals with shingled gable roofs and each with a niche in the gable wall lead to the winter church. On the western portal from 1702 a Madonna, a Holy Spirit dove and Saints Nicholas and Valentine are depicted. The eastern one shows a chronogram from 1705 alongside a Marian monogram and tendrils .
Vicarage
The rectory is located southwest below the church group. The building, built between 1856 and 1862, has an attic floor and a hipped roof and has a simple plaster structure with cornice bands, corner pilaster strips and window frames.
Once disused the Ancoats Mills Complex was at the heart and soul of Manchester’s industrial community – a time now long gone. The imposing mills produced products like cotton, glass and chemicals and were affectionately termed “the workshop of the world”. What is now Anita Street was previously known as Sanitary Street, due to its row of dedicated workers’ residences, which were always kept in spick and span condition
