The Dominion Club, the clubhouse for a country club (golf course) located in the master-planned community of Wyndham in northwestern Henrico County. The club went bankrupt in 2010, and its ownership transferred to its members.
The Dominion Observatory was an astronomical observatory in Ottawa, that operated from 1902 to 1970. The Observatory was also an institution within the Canadian Federal Government. The observatory grew out of the Department of the Interior's need for the precise coordinates and timekeeping that at that time could only come from an observatory. For several years they had used a small observatory on the Ottawa River for this purpose.
In 1902, it was decided that Canada needed a larger national observatory similar to the Royal Greenwich Observatory in Britain. As of 2008, the building is the home to the Office of Energy Efficiency, a part of the Energy Branch, Natural Resources Canada.

"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."

Here at 468-496 Queen Street East, on the white brick at the front of the building, is a plaque about a brewery that says:
In 1873, Robert Davies, the third son of one of the most prominent families in the history of Toronto brewing, established the Dominion Brewery and built on this site in 1878. At its peak in the late 1880's, the Dominion Brewery comprised a vast array of buildings, courtyards and stables in the heart of Toronto's brewing and distilling district known as "Corktown". The brewery gained international acclaim for its lagers and ales and continued production for over 60 years until 1936, when its doors were closed. The entire complex was carefully renovated between 1987 and 1990 by The Sorbara Group, in association with Easton/Phillips Development Corporation.

Some of the features highlighted here were the inspirations that made this build a bit more challenging than it's mostly symmetrical, boxy feeling may let on. The main things I wished to accomplish were an open middle section capable of housing a corvette sized vessel, though I made larger landing pads inside as well if the corvette was scrapped for fighters or bombers like I did here. I also wanted the upper hanger to open viewable from an open front, which meant I needed a way to attach the upper skin and have the inside of the skin look nice enough to be on display. I also wanted to make sure the entire ship could still be lit for viewing at something like Brick World Chicago's World of Lights (come to Chicago for BW if that sounds interesting)- so the ceilings on the interior are all two bricks wide to support the lighting.
Besides the color scheme, I also wanted to keep some features that would help establish this as a vessel that would fit with my fleet. This included the look of the bridge, the standardized docking port and the glowing engine core.

Long closed but the sign remains. The neon under Reddy Kilowatt used to alternate saying "Old Dominion Power Company" and "Your Electric Servant." In the background is the restored neon sign for Lays Hardware which now houses Lays Hardware Center for the Arts.
The Dominion Astrophysical Observatory, located on Observatory Hill, in Saanich, British Columbia, was completed in 1918 by the Canadian government. The Dominion Architect responsible for the building was Edgar Lewis Horwood. The main instrument is the 72 inch (1.83 meter) aperture Plaskett telescope, proposed and designed by John S. Plaskett in 1910 with the support of the International Union for Cooperation in Solar Research.
The observatory has been designated a National Historic Site of Canada as it is a world-renowned facility where many discoveries about the nature of the Milky Way were made, and it was one of the world’s main astrophysical research centres until the 1960s
