This front desk use to belong to a big hotel and at one time an institution. Built in 1890, this old regal building now lies abandoned in wait for another chance to stay alive.

Basilica of Our Lady Immaculate in downtown Guelph. Construction of the church, based on the Cologne Cathedral,began in 1877 under Irish-Canadian architect Joseph Connolly who had designed many churches in Ireland, England and Ontario, notably St. Peter's Cathedral in London, Ontario.
Built of local limestone in High Victorian Gothic Revival style, the Church of Our Lady is considered to be Connolly's masterpiece. The design was inspired by the medieval cathedrals of France, and includes twin towers, a large rose window, pointed windows and an interior design where the chapels radiate from the polygonal apse. Matthew Bell, a well-known Guelph artisan, was responsible for some of the carvings on the exterior as well as on the interior pillars of the church. He died in 1883 as a result of injuries sustained in a fall while working on the building. In 1888, almost twelve years after construction commenced, the church was dedicated to Our Lady Immaculate. The twin towers, which rise to a height of over 200 feet (61 m), were not completed until November 13, 1926.
The City of Guelph's zoning by-laws establish "protected view areas" that are designed to ensure clear sight lines to the Church of Our Lady from various vantage points in the downtown core. Any communication towers or other buildings built in the downtown area must not obscure the view of the church. Also, no new buildings in Guelph were allowed to be higher in elevation than the Church.

This picture shows the massive front aisle even more dramatically. In addition to shrinking the aisles by probably around 10 feet, Saar's also has about half as many checkouts as Albertsons/Haggen did, and they're quite a bit smaller as well. This picture shows how this space used to look -- note that you can't even see the row of columns in that shot, and how the aisles came out almost all the way to where the lighting changes direction.
Saar's put in all-new checkout counters, with new, very interesting (and kind of ugly), register lights. They kind of look like 70s/80s light fixtures, with a brass(?) frame surrounding a clear glass box with a very obvious light bulb in it. The number is cut into a thicker brass strip across the top, but it's the portion without the number that's the main light-up part. Certainly nothing like anything I've seen elsewhere...
Also, spot the Haggen decor remnant!
This nasty-looking front loader was one of the more interesting Cobra vehicles of the early ‘90s.

I decided to keep the original colors and make sense of its garish livery by giving it to the Dreadnoks. It’s fun to build something bright and colorful once in a while. I changed the details on the weapons, but otherwise kept it as close to the original as I could.

The south side of Pittsburgh has many row houses / duplexes with this feature. A stoop to the front door and a walkway between the 2 units to the back. I find it to be quite intereseting architecture.

I have wind chimes beside wind chimes beside wind chimes.....all along my front porch. Yes, I think I would qualify as a wind chime collector.
I LOVE to hear them chime when there is a slight breeze outside. I must say that when we recently had Hurricane Ike's winds strong enough to topple two trees, my wind chimes were putting on their own symphony. I did not lose a one....I got lucky.
My favorite at the moment is the one I have shown above. It is silhouetted in this shot, but it is red enamel. It is a goat. I love it.
AN ADDED NOTE:
Our flickr friend, Alan, just started a new group. A fun group called MY FRONT PORCH. How many of you out there have seen a beautiful front porch, a cozy front porch, an unusual front porch or simply your own front porch. I know I am about to add this silly shot and I've added two other friend's porches. It is kind of neat to see all of the different ones. Your group was a good idea, Alan ( KAZOOTUS ), on flickr.
We give each other so many labels, then discriminate based on them even though we're all just Human.

Based on the real buildings built in large groups at the end of the XIX century and early 1900's. There are still dozens of them in my home town.
