House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935 and built over a small waterfall on Bear Run in southwestern Pennsylvania..
This elegant and perfectly preserved Victorian mansion was built for Carl G. A. Voigt in 1895. Voigt came to Grand Rapids in 1870 and ran a mill and dry goods store with W. G. Herpolsheimer. In 1902, when the partnership ended, Voigt took over the milling works. The house designed by eminent local architect William G. Robinson, was inspired by the chateaux at Chenonceaux, France. The interior is furnished opulently with original possessions of the Voigt Family. In 1972, a year after the death of the last occupant, Ralph Voigt, the house became a public museum. 109
Kasteel Renswoude
The first house probably dates from the end of the 14th century. Perhaps the name refers to a bailey that was situated around the castle.
In 1654 the fortified house, which was called 'Borchwal' in the 17th century, was demolished by order of Johan van Reede and replaced by the country house designed by Ghijsbert Theunisz. van Vianen and Peter Jansz. van Cooten. The current house in Dutch Classicist style was probably built on the medieval foundations.
The garden is a typical English landscape garden (Romantic period). These gardens are characterized by lush vegetation, but at every point in the garden you must have a view, to the center, or the castle. The provincial road, Renswoude - Veenendaal, was once built right through it. This makes it look like the garden consists of 2 parts. The staff residences are now also along this road, but belonged to this Heerlyckheid, as the castle and its lands were called.
Since 1754, by marriage in the Taets van Amerongen family, who still own the house, it has been placed in a foundation and divided it into various apartments, which were / are partly also inhabited by family members.

The Samuel Cupples House was built for was built for Samuel Cupples a wealthy St. Louis entrepreneur who had built his business Cupples Woodenware starting in the 1840's and became a millionaire by age of thirty. This house designed in a Richardsonian Romanesque style by architect Thomas Annan was completed in 1890. The house cost over $500,000 to construct, a very expensive home for that era. The Cupples family lived in the house until 1919. The house was then used as the headquarters of Brotherhood of Railroad Telegraphers until 1946 when it became the possession of Saint Louis University. The building was used for many uses and was threatened with demolition. Due to the efforts of Father Maurice McNamee, S.J. the house was preserved and renovated. It is now used as an art museum and is open for tours.

Antwerp’s Port House, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, merges historic substance with futuristic form. The glass volume floats above the old fire station like a diamond above the water—a tribute to the city’s maritime legacy. Its faceted triangular façade reflects the evening light in dynamic ways. Captured from a dramatic low-angle perspective, the photo emphasizes the bold geometry and the striking tension between heritage and innovation.

Der gläserne Aufbau schwebt über dem alten Feuerwehrhaus wie ein Diamant über dem Wasser – eine Hommage an die maritime Vergangenheit der Stadt. Die Fassade besteht aus facettierten Dreiecken, die das Licht der Abendstimmung facettenreich brechen. Fotografiert aus extremer Untersicht betont das Bild die kühne Geometrie und die spannungsreiche Balance von Alt und Neu.

Berlin boasts two zoological gardens, a consequence of decades of political and administrative division of the city. The older one, called Zoo Berlin, founded in 1844, is situated in what is now called the "City West". It is the most species-rich zoo worldwide. The other one, called Tierpark Berlin ("Animal Park"), was established on the long abandoned premises of Friedrichsfelde Manor Park in the eastern borough of Lichtenberg, in 1954. Covering 160 ha, it is the largest landcape zoo in Europe. In front of and behind the manor, the original design of the gardens was carefully restored. That is why you won't see any animals in this part of the enormous premises of the Animal Park. But you'll find plenty of them at a short distance.
Friedrichsfelde Manor house, designed in the early neo-Classical architectural style, is located in the Berlin Animal Park in the Friedrichsfelde district of Berlin. It was built in 1685 as Rosenfelde Manor by the Electorate of Brandenburg's Director General of the Navy, Benjamin Raule. This first five-axes building was probably constructed in the Dutch country house style according to plans by Johann Arnold Nering. In 1698, Benjamin Raule fell from grace and was imprisoned and expropriated. The castle fell to the Prussian Elector and later King Frederick I and was renamed Friedrichsfelde. After the king's death, the property was transferred to his half-brother Margrave Albrecht Friedrich von Brandenburg-Schwedt in 1717. In 1719, court architect Martin Heinrich Böhme enlarged the palace by three axes each to the east and west to its present width and added a three-winged Baroque staircase made of oak.
The castle survived the Second World War relatively undamaged. After the expropriation in the course of the land reform, both the building and the surrounding manor park fell into disrepair. When the decision was made in 1954 to create a separate zoo for East Berlin, the palace served for a few years as the headquarters of the organisers of the garden's conversion; parts of the building were used as stables for the zoo. It was not until the period between 1970 and 1981 that the castle was renovated on the initiative of Tierpark Berlin. The director of the Animal Park at the time, Heinrich Dathe, campaigned massively for the preservation of the manor house and prevented plans to demolish it.
Moscow, Russia
Also known as the "fairy tale house", this Neo-Russian style mansion was built in 1907 with idea "Moscow spirit and tradition hand in hand with the modern demands". The most famous artists and architects participated in the competition for the best house design, but the victory was won by the lesser-known Sergei Malyutin (artist) and Nikolai Zhukov (architect).

The first Art Nouveau houses and interior decoration appeared in Brussels in the 1890s, in the architecture and interior design of houses designed by Paul Hankar, Henry Van de Velde, and especially Victor Horta, whose Hôtel Tassel was completed in 1893. It moved quickly to Paris, where it was adapted by Hector Guimard, who saw Horta's work in Brussels and applied the style for the entrances of the new Paris Metro. It reached its peak at the 1900 Paris International Exposition, which introduced the Art Nouveau work of artists such as Louis Tiffany. It appeared in graphic arts in the posters of Alphonse Mucha, and the glassware of René Lalique and Émile Gallé. From Belgium and France, it spread to the rest of Europe, taking on different names and characteristics in each country. It often appeared not only in capitals, but also in rapidly growing cities that wanted to establish artistic identities (Budapest, Turin and Palermo in Italy; Glasgow in Scotland; Munich and Darmstadt in Germany), as well as in centres of independence movements (Helsinki in Finland, then part of the Russian Empire; Barcelona in Catalonia, Spain). By 1910, Art Nouveau's influence had faded. It was replaced as the dominant European architectural and decorative style first by Art Deco and then by Modernism. Miksa Roth was commisioned to create the stained glass and mosaics. Miksa Roth was the greatest stained glass artist of Hungary, and he made his way though in this field somewhere between the 19th and the 20th century. His work was, at the time, appreciated in the entire Europe, and repeatedly awarded and displayed at reputed at international exhibitions.

Description of Historic Place
The Toronto Power Generating Station National Historic Site of Canada is located on the banks of the Niagara River just above Niagara Falls. The Power House is a rectangular building measuring 132 metres by 30 metres with an imposing classical façade. Its symmetrical plan consists of a central block with a heavy Ionic portico flanked by two long Ionic colonnades. The Power House contains the generators and stands above the other principal engineering components of the installation that include a submerged dam, penstocks, and the wheel pit housing the turbines, and the tailrace tunnel. Official recognition refers to the building and structures on the legal lot at the time of designation (1983).
Heritage Value
The Toronto Power Generating Station was designated a national historic site of Canada in 1983 because:
- this generating station was the first wholly Canadian-owned hydro-electric facility at Niagara Falls;
- the powerhouse is an early and unusual application of Beaux-Arts design to an industrial site in Canada.
The Toronto Power Generating Station, associated with development of hydro-electric power in Canada, was a significant large-scale engineering achievement in its time and was important in the development of business, industry and technology in Ontario and Canada. The Generating Station and Power House was built for the Electrical Development Company of Ontario to supply hydro-electric power to Toronto. The installation was begun in 1903 with the Power House designed in the formal Beaux-Arts style by architect E.J. Lennox to complement the majestic setting. The Toronto Power Generating Station was opened in 1906, and was purchased by Ontario Hydro in 1922. It operated until 1974.
Character-Defining Elements
The key elements that contribute to the heritage character of this site include:
- the prominent location on the bank of the Niagara River above the Niagara Falls;
- the river-front setting with the building as a component of a scenic, landscaped public parkland;
- the large, flat-roofed, symmetrical massing;
- the steel-frame construction clad in brick and Indiana limestone;
- the classical Beaux-Arts style main west façade that includes a projecting central block with a heavy Ionic portico flanked by two long Ionic colonnades;
- the austere east, rear elevation facing the river that is faced with plain terracotta brick and simply decorated with a row of shallow strip pilasters;
- the regularly placed windows, and the large bow window across the north elevation;
- the Power House’s interior configuration, features and finishes, including the central entrance, the grand foyer finished with marble walls and floor tiles, the enriched cornices, and the elaborated architraves;
- the configuration, features and finishes of the work room, public waiting room and board room, and also the glazed industrial brick of the generator room;
- the principal engineering components of the installation that include a submerged dam, penstocks, the wheel pit housing the turbines, the tailrace tunnel and the power house with generators.

An Avant-garde Home from 1933
The Sonneveld House, designed by architects Leendert van der Vlugt and Johannes Andreas Brinkman, for Albertus Sonneveld, director of the Van Nelle Factory, is a clear example of the principles of the House Machine theorized by Le Corbusier and represented in the Netherlands by the Nieuwe Bouwen, the Dutch branch of functionalism. It is a comfortable house as a machine, designed around its inhabitants, efficient and hygienic, thanks to new materials can provide light, air and needed to live in complete psychophysical wellbeing space, thus responding to the five principles that Le Corbusier stipulated in his book “Towards a New Architecture” in 1921.
Sonneveld House illustrates how the influence of the new trends in architecture were received by the upper middle class.
La Cascade et son abris (Cascade House) sont un ensemble de marches en pierre sur lesquelles l’eau jaillit d’un ensemble de fontaines situées au sommet.
Elle a été construite en 1696 et reconstruite à une plus grande échelle en 1701. En 1703, un grand temple baroque, conçu par Thomas Archer, a été ajouté au sommet. Une restauration majeure de la Cascade et de la Cascade House en 1994-1996 a nécessité 10 000 heures de travail. En 2004, la Cascade a été élue meilleur dispositif aquatique d’Angleterre par un panel de 45 experts en jardinage organisé par Country Life. Elle comporte 24 marches coupées, chacune légèrement différente et avec une variété de textures de sorte que chacune donne un son différent lorsque l'eau les franchit.

La cascade a été construite pour le 1er duc de Devonshire par un ingénieur français, Grillet, et achevée en 1703. Chaque marche est différente de celle située en dessous et au-dessus, afin de faire varier le son de la chute d'eau. Le temple a été conçu par Thomas Archer. On peut faire couler de l’eau sur le toit et sur 13 bouches, y compris l’embouchure des dauphins et même par des jets cachés dans le sol. Le temple et la cascade ont été restaurés entre 1994 et 1996.
Toutes les installations hydrauliques du jardin sont alimentées par gravité, avec de l’eau provenant de lacs artificiels 400 pieds plus haut que la maison, au-dessus de la pente derrière le jardin. Lors de sa descente, l’eau du fond de la cascade est utilisée deux fois : dans la fontaine des hippocampes sur la pelouse sud et dans une fontaine du jardin privé à l’ouest. Aucune eau n'est pompée vers le haut de la colline, donc dans une période sèche, nous limitons les heures de jeu.

The Cascade and Cascade House is a set of stone steps over which water flows from a set of fountains at the top. It was built in 1696 and rebuilt on a grander scale in 1701. In 1703 a grand baroque Temple or Cascade House designed by Thomas Archer was added at the top. A major restoration of both the Cascade and the Cascade House in 1994–1996 took 10,000 man-hours of work. In 2004 the Cascade was voted the best water feature in England by a panel of 45 garden experts organised by Country Life.[17] It has 24 cut steps, each slightly different and with a variety of textures so that each gives a different sound when water runs over and down them.

___________________________________
The Cascade was built for the 1st Duke of Devonshire by a French engineer, Grillet, and completed in 1703. Each step is different to the one below and above it, to vary the sound of the falling water. The temple was designed by Thomas Archer. Water can be made to flow over the roof and out of 13 spouts, including the mouths of the stone dolphins, and there are even hidden jets in the floor. The temple and the Cascade where restored between 1994-1996.
All the waterworks in the garden are gravity fed, with water piped from man-made lakes 400 feet higher than the house, above the slope behind the garden. Water from the bottom of the Cascade is used twice more on its descent yo the river - in the sea horse fountain on the south lawn and a fontain in the private west garden. No water is pumped back up the hill, so in a dry spell we restrict the hours the waterworks play.

The Robie House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for his client Frederick C. Robie, is considered one of the most important buildings in the history of American architecture. Designed in Wright's Oak Park studio in 1908 and completed in 1910, the building inspired an architectural revolution. Its sweeping horizontal lines, dramatic overhangs, stretches of art glass windows and open floor plan make it a quintessential Prairie style house. Although it was designed one hundred years ago, the building remains a masterpiece of modern architecture.
Casa Vicens, Carrer de les Carolines 20-26, Barcelona.
ENGLISH
Casa Vicens is a house in Barcelona, designed by Antoni Gaudí, now a museum. It is located in the neighbourhood of Gràcia on Carrer de les Carolines, 24. It is considered one of the first buildings of Art Nouveau and was the first house designed by Gaudí.
The style of Casa Vicens is a reflection of Neo-Mudéjar architecture, one of the popular styles that can be seen throughout Gaudí's architecture, including oriental and neoclassical as well. However, what was unique about Gaudí was that he mixed different styles together and incorporated a variety of different materials, such as iron, glass, ceramic tiles and concrete, many of which can be seen in this building. Gaudí broke away from tradition and created his new language of architecture, and Casa Vicens represents a new chapter in the history of Catalan architecture as well as the beginning of a successful career for Gaudí.

Shot at Scotney Castle, Kent. Scotney is not one but two houses. At the top of the hill is the new house, designed by Anthony Salvin in Elizabethan style and built in 1837 for Edward Hussey III, who took the ¿Picturesque¿ style as his inspiration. At the bottom of the valley are the romantic ruins of a medieval castle and moat. This is the focal point of the celebrated gardens featuring spectacular displays of rhododendrons, azaleas and kalmia in May/June with trees and shrubs providing autumnal colour. The estate is open all year, offering a variety of walks through beautiful parkland, woodland and farmland
When I study this image I see faces. In the middle, the two circles with flowers are the eyes, the candles at the bottom are a goatee, the mouth is a small dark area above the goatee and a mustache of candles is above the mouth.
On the left there are two small blue eyes. The thin column is the nose and the purple squares its hair.
Just my imagination.
"The House for an Art Lover is an arts and cultural centre in Glasgow, Scotland. The building was constructed between 1989 and 1996 based on a 1901 Art Nouveau house design by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his wife, Margaret MacDonald. The house is situated in Glasgow's Bellahouston Park and sits east of the site of the Festival Tower of the Empire Exhibition, Scotland of 1938.
"The idea to actually build the house from the Mackintoshs' designs came from Graham Roxburgh, a civil engineer in Glasgow who had done refurbishment work on the Mackintosh interiors in Craigie Hall. The house is a prominent example of the Modern Style. It serves as a venue for art exhibitions and other events, as well as being itself a visitor attraction.
"The current House must be viewed as an interpretation of the Mackintoshes’ original designs. The Mackintoshes were designing a residential house. The current House was constructed with commercial purposes in mind." Source: Wikipedia 19 Jan 2026

On a visit to the Sign of the Takahe for a coffee. November 2019 Christchurch New Zeeland.
The Sign of the Takahe is today a cafe/bar with casual dining with a unique wedding and function space, built in the style of an English Manor House. Designed by J. G. Collins, construction was carried out between 1918 and 1948. The Takahe also provides one of the better panoramic views of the city of Christchurch, New Zealand, the Canterbury Plains and the Southern Alps.
Named after the flightless native New Zealand bird, the Takahe, it was initially one of the roadhouses planned by Henry George (Harry) Ell as part of his scheme to preserve the natural state of the Port Hills which overlook Christchurch and Lyttelton harbour.
Ell had envisaged four roadhouses being built, and three were completed before Ell's death in 1934. These were Sign of the Kiwi, Sign of the Bellbird and Sign of the Packhorse.
However, Ell wished the Takahe to be a more substantial structure and spent years studying design of English Manors, castles and inns, to be incorporated into the final construction of the Takahe. Indeed, the dining room is an exact replica of the historic Haddon Hall in Derbyshire.
A great deal of improvisation was required to minimise cost. For example, the stone was quarried locally from the Port Hills and hand chiseled into blocks using primitive tools, the heavy Kauri beams in the entrance hall were salvaged from a former bridge over the Hurunui River and the ceilings in the inner most dining room were painted on timber cut from packing cases.
The building has a Category I listing with Heritage New Zealand. It is located adjacent to Cracroft Reserve.

The 1884 Queen Anne/Victorian or Aesthetic style house designed by New York architect Francis H. Kimball for Franklin and Mary Chamberlin is one of Hartford's architectural gems. The wood and granite house is an eclectic grouping of turned balusters, porches, differently shaped windows, and multiple balconies. The original exterior paint scheme, roof shingles, crestings, and finials were restored in 2002.
The house is named in honor of Katharine Seymour Day (1870 – 1964), founder of the Stowe Center, grandniece of Harriet Beecher Stowe and granddaughter of suffragist Isabella Beecher Hooker. Day, an ardent preservationist and activist, purchased it to save it from being destroyed.

The great house stands in extensive grounds (360 hectares or 890 acres) above the River Fowey and it has been owned and managed by the National Trust since 1953. Much of the present house dates back to Victorian times but some sections date from the 1620s. It is a Grade I listed building and is set in gardens with formal areas. The hill behind the house is planted with a fine selection of shrubs and trees.
Lanhydrock estate belonged to the Augustinian priory of St Petroc at Bodmin but the Dissolution of the Monasteries during the 1530s saw it pass into private hands. In 1620 wealthy merchant Sir Richard Robartes, of Truro, acquired the estate and began building Lanhydrock House, designed to a four-sided layout around a central courtyard and constructed of grey granite. Robartes died in 1624 but work on the building was continued by his son John Robartes, 1st Earl of Radnor, a notable public figure who served as Lord Privy Seal and Lord President of the Council. The embattled walls were built of rude (rough), massive granite blocks with years 1636 and 1642 on the walls, indicating when they were built. A barbican gate was added and the house was garrisoned by Parliamentary forces in August 1644 when Sir Richard Grenville took possession.
Lanhydrock is a civil parish centred on a country estate and mansion in Cornwall, United Kingdom. The parish lies south of the town of Bodmin and is bounded to the north by Bodmin parish, to the south by Lanlivery parish and to the west by Lanivet parish.
The parish church is dedicated to St Hydroc and stands in the grounds of Lanhydrock House. Parts date back to the late 15th century and the church has a chancel, nave, north and south aisles and three-stage battlemented tower with nine bells. Eight bells date from the late 19th century and are regularly rung. The ninth bell dates from circa 1599 and is only rung infrequently for tolling.
