Nestled among the pines of the Catskill Mountains on scenic Highway 23A in upstate New York, St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church of the Eastern Rite is both a spiritual and a cultural center for Ukrainians in the United States. Located on a beautiful hilltop site between the Hunter ski area and Lexington, New York, the church offers visitors an unusual opportunity to learn about traditional Ukrainian Church architecture.
The structures are executed in the traditional (although somewhat modified) timber blockwork style of the Ukrainian Carpathian highlanders - the Hutsuls and the Bojkos.
The structures on St. John the Baptist Church grounds include the church, belfry, gate, grazhda (parish hall), and a parsonage. The construction of the church as well as other structures of the whole architectural complex was financed by Ukrainian immigrants who realized the need for a tangible expression of their heritage and were constantly vigilant in the preservation and propagation of Ukrainian culture.

Proud, involved homeowners make this one of the few places where you can still see Houston as it was 100 years ago. Houston Heights was not marketed as an elite community but as a streetcar suburb, oriented toward blue collar and lower-middle-income socio-economic strata.
Homes in the Heights have varied architectural styles, including Victorian, Craftsman and Colonial Revival.
The Summerhill CPR Station, constructed in the Beaux Arts tradition, consists of a 43-metre (140-foot) clock tower and a three-storey main terminal. The tower is modelled after the Campanile di San Marco in Saint Mark’s Square in Venice.

~ A beautiful part of the Bow heritage trail, a two-hour history walk I joined on Saturday

~ The Bow Quarter once the historic match factory now a smart residential complex, in Bow, east London. A century ago it was Fairfield Works, the largest factory in Europe,
and the home of Bryant and May.
Bryant and May had bought the patent rights of the process for making safety matches from a Quaker, the Swedish inventor Johan Lindstrom, in 1852 and the Farfield Works were built in 1861 on a model of Lundstrom's Jon-Koping works. From 1868, chairman Wilberforce Bryant pushed the works towards ever-greater mechanisation, meaning the factory was not just the biggest in Europe but one of the most modern.

The Fort of Fenestrelle, nestled in the Piedmontese Alps, is one of the largest and most complex mountain fortresses in Europe. Construction began in 1728 by the Kingdom of Sardinia (House of Savoy) to defend against French incursions. Stretching over 3 kilometers up the mountainside, its vast system of walls, bastions, and stairways reflects centuries of military engineering. Known as the 'Great Wall of the West,' it played a strategic role in regional defense until the 20th century.
The Blue Poodle is a bit like entering a dream, with cobbled flooring taken by springy armchairs and a gurgling fountain - eccentric, entertaining, hip.

Nestled in the historic Cambridge Common, the Civil War Monument, also known as the Civil War Memorial and Lincoln-Soldier Monument, stands as a poignant tribute to the valor and sacrifice of those who served during the American Civil War. Completed in 1870, this monument is a masterpiece crafted by the talented artists Cyrus Cobb and Darius Cobb, with the architectural oversight of Thomas W. Silloway. The construction was executed by the renowned contractors McDonald & Mann.
The monument’s centerpiece is a striking bronze statue of Abraham Lincoln, symbolizing his enduring legacy and leadership during one of the most tumultuous periods in American history. This statue is not just a mere representation but a powerful symbol of unity and resilience. The Gothic Revival architectural style of the monument is evident in its intricate stonework and pointed arches, which evoke a sense of solemnity and reverence.
As you approach the monument, the detailed craftsmanship becomes apparent. The base of the monument features bronze plaques inscribed with the names of Massachusetts soldiers who fought bravely in the Civil War. The combination of stone and bronze elements creates a harmonious blend that has withstood the test of time, both in terms of durability and aesthetic appeal.
Visitors to the Civil War Monument are often struck by the serene atmosphere of Cambridge Common, making it a perfect spot for reflection and appreciation of history. The monument not only serves as a reminder of the past but also as an educational piece, offering insights into the architectural and artistic endeavors of the late 19th century. Whether you’re a history buff, an architecture enthusiast, or simply seeking a moment of quiet contemplation, the Civil War Monument in Cambridge is a must-visit landmark that encapsulates the spirit of a pivotal era in American history.

The Peterhof Palace is a series of palaces and gardens located in Petergof, Saint Petersburg, Russia. The architect between 1714 and 1728 was Domenico Trezzini, and the style he employed became the foundation for the Petrine Baroque style favored throughout Saint Petersburg.
Located in the western half of the Lower Park, the Marly Palace is a charming baroque mansion that was built on the orders of Peter the Great as an intimate retreat in the grounds of the Grand Palace.

The reading room of the Lübeck City Library, built in 1926 in the style of Neue Sachlichkeit, reflects the democratic spirit of public education in the Weimar Republic. At the far end of the room, faded frescoes by Hungarian-born artist Ervin Bossányi hint at the cultural optimism of that era. In 1937, the paintings were declared “degenerate art” by the Nazis and were overpainted. They remained hidden for over two decades before being carefully uncovered in 1960 – preserved in their damaged state, just as Bossányi requested.
The room itself is a composition of silence and light: tall windows, ordered desks, and a restrained elegance. The photograph captures this atmosphere from above, revealing the calm geometry of a space shaped equally by history and purpose.
