The Church of England parish church of All Saints (St Anne until c.1928), in the village of All Cannings (pop. 590) in Wiltshire’s picturesque Vale of Pewsey, viewed at sunset from the south. It took its present form in the 14th and 15th centuries on the site of a 12th Century church on the same site. The three-stage central tower is mid-15th century and probably replaced an earlier one, and has a square stair-tower at its northeast corner.

The chancel was rebuilt in 1678 and again in 1868–9, this time in Bath stone on a slightly narrower plan, to designs of Henry Weaver of Devizes, then restored in Victorian times.

"Love change and it will love you..."

I love the change of seasons, even though summer is my favourite season, I love each season and what it brings.

The saying "change is the only constant thing in life." is so true and it's portrayed so well in the change of season.

I wanted to incorporate a jump with the change of season, from summer to autumn. So here you have it!

The large, long-anticipated new museum at ancient Aigai, in northern Greece. The exhibition “Memories of Aigai,” showcasing finds from the excavations at Vergina. The new space incorporates and unites the new central building with the entire archaeological site, including the Palace of Philip II, the Royal Tombs cluster and the Museum of the Royal Tombs.

I wanted to try something new this time around and experiment with colors that I haven’t used before. I have been very inspired by warmer tones lately and will try to incorporate that into my work more and more from now on. It was really windy and cold when we shot this image (although it doesn’t look like that here) and I thank all the models I photograph who pull through the obstacles we face on set. At the same time that is what I love with shooting on location, to face new obstacles, work around them and gain new knowledge.

Prior to the incorporation of the town of Harpswell in 1758, Lookout Point in Harpswell was once a prime fishing spot for the Abenaki Indians. Upon first glance, it is not hard to see why.

In 1761, the Curtis family constructed the Lookout Point House as a cookhouse to service their ship building operation located in the cove across the road. Now home to Allen’s Seafood, a well-known, local lobster pound, the home continued to service shipyard workers for well over the next 100 years. The bell that sits high above the inn, installed before the Civil War, has remained as a reminder of those days and its chimes allow guests to enjoy a very small piece of history.

Like many of the 17 other Harpswell shipyards, the Curtis family focused on schooners, merchant vessels that sailed the world. Back then they averaged about one ship per year and by the mid 1800’s they were up to four vessels per year. Throughout the War of 1812 and our own Civil War, they continued to provide much needed vessels to support our country. Though ship building on Lookout Point ceased sometime around 1880, standing on the front porch it does not take a lot of effort to imagine the history.

Originally named the Lookout Point House, the inn began operating during the Gilded Age in America (late 1800’s). Before long, there were somewhere around 60 inns operating in and around the Brunswick area. Most all of these inns have perished, casualties of deterioration and modernization. Although numerous improvements have been made to the Harpswell Inn over the years, the core building remains much the same. Thankfully the Harpswell Inn has withstood the test of time. [HI website]

Twisting Light #19

Continuing the experiments of incorporating colour into the plastic shapes as they form. I'm trying to keep some clear parts to give white highlights and the dark areas to give depth.

For new viewers: these are analog images formed directly on to film without the use of a camera lens (in the same way as a photogram), of the refraction patterns of light passing through formed and shaped plastics. Normally a b/w image, colour has

been added directly into the plastic. The fine detail of the diffraction patterns can be seen when viewed large.

An artistic image, incorporating the buildings that surround the feeding station. From our viewpoint atop a house east of the town square it was quite a distance to the other side. A 600mm lens with a 1.4X converter would have brought this bird much closer and required way less cropping and image quality loss. But what would I have done when the birds were right beside us?

The Fancy Indian is a traditional carnival character portrayed during the pre-Lenten Carnival festivities on the islands of Trinidad & Tobago. It is a variety of Mas (short for ‘masquerade’), taking its inspiration from the indigenous peoples of the Americas. This form of Mas is non-authentic, with one of its main features being elaborate feathered headdresses in vibrant colours. The headdress may be so large that it may have to be supported by a structure that covers the masquerader's entire body, incorporating a number of effects including feather work, mirrors, beads, papier-mâché masks, canoes, totem poles, and ribbons.

The area that was to become West Palm Beach was settled in the late 1870s and 1880s by a few hundred settlers who called the vicinity "Lake Worth Country." These settlers were a diverse community from different parts of the United States and the world. They included founding families such at the Potters and the Lainharts, who would go on to become leading members of the business community in the fledgling city. The first white settlers in Palm Beach County lived around Lake Worth, then an enclosed freshwater lake, named for Colonel William Jenkins Worth, who had fought in the Second Seminole War in Florida in 1842. Most settlers engaged in the growing of tropical fruits and vegetables for shipment the north via Lake Worth and the Indian River. By 1890, the U.S. Census counted over 200 people settled along Lake Worth in the vicinity of what would become West Palm Beach. The area at this time also boasted a hotel, the "Cocoanut House", a church, and a post office. The city was platted by Henry Flagler as a community to house the servants working in the two grand hotels on the neighboring island of Palm Beach, across Lake Worth in 1893, coinciding with the arrival of the Florida East Coast railroad. Flagler paid two area settlers, Captain Porter and Louie Hillhouse, a combined sum of $45,000 for the original town site, stretching from Clear Lake to Lake Worth.

On November 5, 1894, 78 people met at the "Calaboose" (the first jail and police station located at Clematis St. and Poinsettia, now Dixie Hwy.) and passed the motion to incorporate the Town of West Palm Beach in what was then Dade County (now Miami-Dade County). This made West Palm Beach the first incorporated municipality in Dade County and in South Florida. The town council quickly addressed the building codes and the tents and shanties were replaced by brick, brick veneer, and stone buildings. The city grew steadily during the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th century, most residents were engaged in the tourist industry and related services or winter vegetable market and tropical fruit trade. In 1909, Palm Beach County was formed by the Florida State Legislature and West Palm Beach became the county seat. In 1916, a new neo-classical courthouse was opened, which has been painstakingly restored back to its original condition, and is now used as the local history museum.

The city grew rapidly in the 1920s as part of the Florida land boom. The population of West Palm Beach quadrupled from 1920 to 1927, and all kinds of businesses and public services grew along with it. Many of the city's landmark structures and preserved neighborhoods were constructed during this period. Originally, Flagler intended for his Florida East Coast Railway to have its terminus in West Palm, but after the area experienced a deep freeze, he chose to extend the railroad to Miami instead.

The land boom was already faltering when city was devastated by the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. The Depression years of the 1930s were a quiet time for the area, which saw slight population growth and property values lower than during the 1920s. The city only recovered with the onset of World War II, which saw the construction of Palm Beach Air Force Base, which brought thousands of military personnel to the city. The base was vital to the allied war effort, as it provided an excellent training facility and had unparalleled access to North Africa for a North American city. Also during World War II, German U-Boats sank dozens of merchant ships and oil tankers just off the coast of West Palm Beach. Nearby Palm Beach was under black out conditions to minimize night visibility to German U-boats.

The 1950s saw another boom in population, partly due to the return of many soldiers and airmen who had served in the vicinity during the war. Also, the advent of air conditioning encouraged growth, as year-round living in a tropical climate became more acceptable to northerners. West Palm Beach became the one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas during the 1950s; the city's borders spread west of Military Trail and south to Lake Clarke Shores. However, many of the city's residents still lived within a narrow six-block wide strip from the south to north end. The neighborhoods were strictly segregated between White and African-American populations, a legacy that the city still struggles with today. The primary shopping district remained downtown, centered around Clematis Street.

In the 1960s, Palm Beach County's first enclosed shopping mall, the Palm Beach Mall, and an indoor arena were completed. These projects led to a brief revival for the city, but in the 1970s and 1980s crime continued to be a serious issue and suburban sprawl continued to drain resources and business away from the old downtown area. By the early 1990s there were very high vacancy rates downtown, and serious levels of urban blight.

Since the 1990s, developments such as CityPlace and the preservation and renovation of 1920s architecture in the nightlife hub of Clematis Street have seen a downtown resurgence in the entertainment and shopping district. The city has also placed emphasis on neighborhood development and revitalization, in historic districts such as Northwood, Flamingo Park, and El Cid. Some neighborhoods still struggle with blight and crime, as well as lowered property values caused by the Great Recession, which hit the region particularly hard. Since the recovery, multiple new developments have been completed. The Palm Beach Mall, located at the Interstate 95/Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard interchange became abandoned as the downtown was revitalized - the very mall that initiated the original abandonment of the downtown. The mall was then redeveloped into the Palm Beach Fashion Outlets in February 2014. A station for All Aboard Florida, a high-speed passenger rail service serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, is under construction as of July 2015.

Viewed from a vaporetto on the Grand Canal, the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore is a 16th-century Benedictine church on the island of the same name in Venice, designed by Andrea Palladio, and built between 1566 and 1610. The church is a basilica in the classical renaissance style and its brilliant white marble gleams above the blue water of the lagoon opposite the Piazzetta and forms the focal point of the view from every part of the Riva degli Schiavoni.

The campanile (bell tower), first built in 1467, fell in 1774; it was rebuilt in neo-classic style by 1791.

The façade is brilliantly white and represents Palladio's solution to the difficulty of adapting a classical temple facade to the form of the Christian church, with its high nave and low side aisles, which had always been a problem. Palladio's solution superimposed two facades, one with a wide pediment and architrave, extending over the nave and both the aisles, apparently supported by a single order of pilasters, and the other with a narrower pediment (the width of the nave) superimposed on top of it with a giant order of engaged columns on high pedestals. On either side of the central portal are statues of Saint George and of Saint Stephen, to whom the church is also dedicated.

La Gran Vía de Colón es la principal arteria del centro de Granada.

Su construcción a finales del siglo XIX conllevó la demolición del 20 % de la superficie de entonces de la ciudad. Fue urbanizada entre 1895 y 1934. Incorpora a lo largo de su recorrido una destacada serie de ejemplos de arquitectura ecléctica. En 1961 el edificio de Correos en la cabecera de la calle fue demolido y sustituido por la plaza de Isabel la Católica. En las siguientes décadas de 1970 y 1980 diversas construcciones historicistas fueron reemplazadas por bloques de viviendas descontextualizados.

but as you can tell by looking out the windows from other photo's, I do have some snowy pines BUT I've gone back to Summer, as it's Summer here in Australia at the moment, I'm kinda getting bored of snow (lol) & same with the trees too.

The build which I used was the Farnsworth by FANATIK, however I

gutted the heck out of it & using the exterior as a shell,

which you'll see better in a few of the next upcoming shots.

New flooring, ceiling, lighting & walls dividing each room

in such a small space. I have used this build with previous

modern setup's as it's quite a functional build,

very small yet so many endless possibilities as to how you'd like the

plan to look-like. Down below, I'll put some links to a few projects

I used with this build. All link sources are from my Facebook which

I'll also link below too.

Make sure if you haven't done so, to check out my Facebook, follow me for

updates on my SL life, my life in general, projects, client work, behind the scenes,

Anyway, so between now & whenever I'll be posting more photo's from this build, regarding the image above.

For any further information/questions or anything. Just ask :) -

I'm looking forward to doing more modern, simple & affordable setup's

in the new year as well.

The way this somewhat disheveled mushroom was situated and lit made me work fast to get just the right light. Not sure of the species - it's a bit too degraded for me to try.

At Floors Castle:

In Roxburghshire, it is the seat of the Duke of Roxburghe. Despite its name it is a country house rather than a fortress.

Built in the 1720s by the architect William Adam for Duke John, possibly incorporating an earlier tower house.

In the 19th century it was embellished with turrets and battlements by William Playfair for Duke James.

Floors has the common 18th-century layout of a main block with two symmetrical service wings. Floors Castle lies on the River Tweed and overlooks the Cheviot Hills to the south.

Floors Castle is a category A listed building, and the grounds are listed in the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes, the national listing of significant gardens in Scotland.

The potting shed is equally impressive

Incorporate the colors!

The Captain Cook Memorial, incorporating the Water Jet and Globe, was constructed by the Commonwealth Government to commemorate the Bicentenary of Captain James Cook's first sighting of the east coast of Australia. The Memorial was officially inaugurated on 25 April 1970 by Queen Elizabeth II. Located in the Central Basin of Lake Burley Griffin, directly in front of the National Capital Exhibition at Regatta Point, the Captain Cook Memorial Jet sends water to a maximum height of 152 metres, pumping it from, and returning it to, the lake. The exit velocity of water leaving the nozzle is 260 kilometres an hour. About six tonnes of water is in the air at any one moment when the main nozzle is in use, discharging 500 litres per second. 11726

The Eling Tide Mill has been grinding grain into flour for at least the last 940 years and is now the only remaining working and productive tide mill in Britain. The present building, which is believed to date from the 18th century, is owned by New Forest District Council and run by the Eling Tide Mill Trust Ltd. Built on an inlet branching off a tidal estuary, the mill has a dam which incorporates a special type of sluice gate, known as a 'sea hatch'.

The 'sea hatch' consists of two penstocks, incorporating flaps which open with the incoming tide and close automatically at high tide, trapping the water in the mill pond. This water is then used to operate the mill wheel, enabling a period of approximately four hours working between each tide.

The penstocks are raised if the mill pond needs to be emptied in order to carry out maintenance, or if the river that feeds into the mill pond is in flood after heavy rainfall, or if debris that can accumulate in the pond needs to be released. The old gates and electric motors, which had worn out after many years service, have now been replaced with a brand new installation, incorporating two Rotork actuators. Because the installation is situated next to the public road which crosses the dam, the actuators' local control switches are protected with vandal proof covers as a precaution against unauthorised operation.

Photo incorporating the trifecta of reflections, bokeh, and a photobombing mozzie (comment if you can spot it). Photographed at the colour changing Flowstate in Brisbane's South Bank, using a vintage Mir 1-B lens, with revere globular modification. Handheld, f/2.8, 1/30sec, ISO400. Post processed from RAW exposure in Adobe Lightroom 6.

Our incorporation documents.

In 18 days we could officially start conducting business as Remote Learner Canada Inc.

Incorporating vintage architectural elements into the house goes a long way towards a feeling of old spaces.

During our descent from Mount Teide we were aware that the clock was on our side and we had a fair amount of time available to further explore the islands mountains. The natural choice of an extension to the walk was to incorporate a detour to Pico Viejo.

Mark is seen here top right looking down on the volcanic crater of that peak. The summit stands at 3,135 meters or 10,285 feet.

Incorporate tea bag

Now for something that's more modern and less sci-fi, a modern soldier featuring Desert BDU camo and regular BDU camo. Inspired by Nico's Desert Storm minifig.

This figure incorporates many Eclipse Grafx misprints, which have been modified or painted over. The helmet is Brickarms, while the visor (which I cut into) is Brickforge.

The plate carrier is combatbrick, and I don't know who made the weapons, but they sure are detailed.

Shipping off tomorrow so I won't be able to post until I get back. once again a big thanks to Chris for the editing.

The David W. Dyer Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse, formerly known simply as the U.S. Post Office and Courthouse, is a historic United States Post Office and federal courthouse of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida located at 300 Northeast 1st Avenue in Miami, Florida. Completed in 1933 of limestone, it is the largest such structure in South Florida.

The building was listed in the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1983. In 1997, it was renamed to honor David W. Dyer, a former Chief Judge of the Southern District who was appointed to the circuit court in 1966.

In 1926, a devastating hurricane decimated southern Florida, prompting Congress to appropriate more than $2 million for a new courthouse in Miami in 1928. The Office of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury selected the highly regarded architectural partnership of Phineas Paist and Harold D. Steward. In the 1920s, Paist had been one of the primary architects for developer George E. Merrick, for the Miami suburb of Coral Gables. Designing the building between 1930 and 1931, Paist and Steward blended classically inspired Renaissance Revival forms and design elements with Mediterranean ornamentation.

Paist and Steward developed two sets of plans, each to be built upon a poured concrete and steel structural frame, ensuring the new federal building would resist hurricane-force winds. The first was envisioned using imported marble and bronze, while the second was to use aluminum and local coralline limestone, a lithified coral quarried at Windley Key near Key Largo and called Keystone. The government opted to clad the building in Keystone, reasoning that local materials added to the regional appeal of the building. Construction commenced in 1931 and the opening ceremony was held on July 1, 1933. It remains the most monumental Keystone structure in South Florida.

When it opened, the building housed all Miami-area federal agencies with the exception of the Weather Service. The U.S. Postal Service vacated the building in 1976. It was occupied by federal courts and various federal agencies until 2008. It is contained within Federal Courthouse Square, a two-block area that includes two other courthouses. On May 12, 2016, neighboring Miami Dade College signed a $1 a year, 115-year lease of the building for use as classrooms and lecture halls.

The building is an example of Mediterranean Revival architecture that combines Renaissance Revival elements with regional Florida architectural features. The building, which is faced in Keystone, is three stories in height, with the third story set above a widely projecting entablature on the north, east, and south elevations.

The facade, which has a slightly projecting central bay, faces east onto First Avenue and is dominated by a colonnade composed of regularly spaced engaged Corinthian columns supporting the classical entablature crowning the second story. Cast-aluminum casement window frames have embossed repeating chevron patterns. Spandrel panels depicting scenes from Florida's history are above the second story's arched windows.

The bays adjoining the colonnade feature paired Corinthian pilasters. Bas relief medallions containing classical figures in profile decorate lintels. The central parapet features a carved marble frieze incorporating a large eagle, flanked by a repeating motif of pelicans supporting heraldic shields. The entrances at the ends of the facade have surrounds of carved Floridene buff marble. The north and south elevations feature two-story Corinthian pilasters evoking the facade's colonnade. Ornate mascarons (carved faces) are found on the building's exterior.

The north and south elevations are dominated by central pavilions with bays separated by evenly spaced two-story engaged columns, placed singly and in pairs. An annex is attached to the west elevation. The building's shallow hipped roof is covered with terra-cotta tiles, typical of the Mediterranean Revival style.

Interior spaces are equally elaborate and incorporate eleven different types of marble. Entry vestibules with arched openings lead to the main lobby, where marble covers floors and forms wainscot. Marble pilasters have striking gilt capitals. An inset, multi-colored marble star pattern adorns the center of the floor. Original aluminum and glass chandeliers hang from the painted and gilt wood-and-plaster coffered ceiling. Marble postal tables retain original lamps and inset cast-brass grilles.

The double-height ceremonial District Courtroom is another significant space with well-preserved original details, including the carved wooden judge's bench, jury box, witness stand, and clerk's desk. Decorative details include fluted pilasters, rosettes, and carved plaques with floral rinceaux. At the walls, seven feet of paneled wood wainscot is located beneath scored plaster. Marble Ionic pilasters divide the window openings.

The mural Law Guides Florida Progress completed by artist Denman Fink in 1941 is located above the judge's bench and is flanked by two pairs of Ionic marble pilasters. The mural depicts the positive impact of justice guiding Florida's economic development. Fink included a likeness of himself as a draftsman and a likeness of architect Phineas E. Paist, with whom he worked in Coral Gables, as a chemist. The coffered ceiling features rosettes, stars, and shells.

Other significant artwork in the courthouse includes two striking cast-stone lunettes by Yugoslav-born American artist Alexander Sambugnac. Executed in 1938, the low-relief panels portray two allegorical figures representing themes of the spirit of justice and are placed on the lintels above the leather-covered doors. Love and Hope shows a young woman playing the lyre, while Wisdom and Courage depicts a seated figure gazing at a tablet of the law.

The interior brick courtyard admits light into the building while also providing a beautiful outdoor space commonly found in Florida architecture. A two-story loggia with a vaulted ceiling and columns surrounds the courtyard on three sides.

Keystone pilasters support arched lunette windows above the public lobby's paired French doors. Quoins (corner blocks) and Doric columns add decorative elements to the space. The courtyard's interior walls are unplastered brick, as are the exterior walls that face toward the courtyard from the north, east and south wings. The loggia's plaster walls and ceiling are ornamented with the multi-colored Frescoes in Courtyard, added by artist David Novros in 1984. An original postal marble writing table with an elaborate pedestal occupies the west side of the courtyard,

The Fort Lauderdale Woman’s Club was founded on January 11, 1911, with 18 members by the Board of Trade. We were first called the Woman’s Civic Improvement Association. The club predated the incorporation of the city itself by two and a half months.

Among our proudest achievements is in the area of humanitarian concerns. When Ivy Stranahan, the “Mother of Fort Lauderdale,” was our president (1913-1916), she worked through the Florida Federation Of Women’s Clubs (FFWC), to advance the rights of all women and of Native Americans and African Americans. As chairperson of Indian Affairs for the FFWC Ivy had the support of the FLWC in helping to secure Seminole Reservations in the state of Florida.

In 1916, Ivy and Frank Stranahan donated a 135 x 100 lot to build our clubhouse, which was designed by the acclaimed architect August Geiger in the Mediterranean Revival Style. The building was dedicated in May 1917.

Annie Beck, president in 1924-25, was instrumental in the restoration of devastated Fort Lauderdale after the 1926 hurricane whereas our clubhouse served as an emergency shelter. Founding member of the city’s garden club, Annie planted a yellow trumpet tree (Tabebuia Caraiba) at her landmark home in 1939. A small memorial park in her name, planted in Tabebulias, can be found along Victoria Park Road. Her home, floated down New River to preserve its 20th-century bungalow architecture, is today at Middle River Terrace City Park.

In 1969 Virginia Young, president 1944-46, was elected city commissioner and then mayor of Fort Lauderdale. The daughter of a tugboat captain, Virginia served on the school board and so far, the only female mayor. She was a staunch supporter and member of the city’s Downtown Development Authority, fighting for the preservation of historic buildings.

During the 1970s, the club became charter members of Broward County Pioneer Days and also a charter member of Special Olympics of Broward County, which was founded to help mentally and physically challenged individuals find a more productive life.

In October 1982 our clubhouse was the first place winner in the city’s coveted Community Appearance Award. We sold 23 feet of our land to the city for the widening of Andrews Avenue. This money was used to renovate the building by adding a ramp for the handicapped, installing paddle fans, painting, building new front steps, and adding double front doors. The entrance hall floor was raised, eliminating a step for security reasons; the restrooms and the kitchen were updated to include a new dishwasher.

On January 11, 2011 we celebrated our 100th birthday. Our members no longer consist of city pioneers but are still keenly interested in making a recognizable difference in the educational, cultural, and humanitarian needs of the community and beyond. More importantly, shortly after our birthday celebration, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held with Mayor Jack Seiler, Vice Mayor Romney Rogers, Commissioner Bobby DuBose, and many club members in attendance on the newly renovated porch.

Architect Susan McClellan, Louis Friend of Friendly Construction, and Building Chair Eugenia Duncan Ellis proudly presented the completion of the Phase 1 renovations, which returned the building location to its original orientation and street address to 20 South Andrews Avenue.

Today, our clubhouse has received historic designation. We continue to work tirelessly to preserve this most significant building in the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale. Now over 100 years of age, the Fort Lauderdale Woman’s Club continues their many missions, giving back to the community with a tag line of “a century of citizenship.”

Excerpt from Wikipedia:

The first building on the museum site was constructed in 1865 as an athenaeum with the purpose of providing a space for cultural and learning opportunities for the Hawke’s Bay community. The Hawke’s Bay Philosophical and Mechanic's Institute was based in this building during the early 19th century and contributed ideas on art and science to the province. The 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake considerably damaged the institutes’ collections but the building was one of few to remain standing. The earthquake underscored Hawke's Bay's need for a purpose-built art gallery and museum for the safekeeping of the region’s treasures. In 1936 a new building was constructed with funds raised from the Hawke’s Bay community. It was designed by architect James Augustus Louis Hay.

In 2006 the Napier City Council took over management of Hawke's Bay Museum. Douglas Lloyd Jenkins was appointed director and the name of the institution changed to Hawke's Bay Museum & Art Gallery. The Hawke's Bay Museums Trust was re-formed to become a Trust that holds the museum's collections for the benefit of the community. In July 2010 the Hawke's Bay Museum & Art Gallery closed to undertake a three-year redevelopment project. The completed MTG Hawke’s Bay facility opened on 21 September 2013 and incorporates the two older buildings on the site with a new wing designed by architect Richard Daniels. The building recently won two architectural awards in the annual New Zealand Architecture awards, in the categories Public Architecture and Heritage for the Gisborne and Hawke’s Bay region.

The ceiling of the Founders Entrance of the Fitzwilliam Museum incorporates neoclassical elements based on the temples of ancient Greece and Rome.

The David W. Dyer Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse, formerly known simply as the U.S. Post Office and Courthouse, is a historic United States Post Office and federal courthouse of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida located at 300 Northeast 1st Avenue in Miami, Florida. Completed in 1933 of limestone, it is the largest such structure in South Florida.

The building was listed in the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1983. In 1997, it was renamed to honor David W. Dyer, a former Chief Judge of the Southern District who was appointed to the circuit court in 1966.

In 1926, a devastating hurricane decimated southern Florida, prompting Congress to appropriate more than $2 million for a new courthouse in Miami in 1928. The Office of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury selected the highly regarded architectural partnership of Phineas Paist and Harold D. Steward. In the 1920s, Paist had been one of the primary architects for developer George E. Merrick, for the Miami suburb of Coral Gables. Designing the building between 1930 and 1931, Paist and Steward blended classically inspired Renaissance Revival forms and design elements with Mediterranean ornamentation.

Paist and Steward developed two sets of plans, each to be built upon a poured concrete and steel structural frame, ensuring the new federal building would resist hurricane-force winds. The first was envisioned using imported marble and bronze, while the second was to use aluminum and local coralline limestone, a lithified coral quarried at Windley Key near Key Largo and called Keystone. The government opted to clad the building in Keystone, reasoning that local materials added to the regional appeal of the building. Construction commenced in 1931 and the opening ceremony was held on July 1, 1933. It remains the most monumental Keystone structure in South Florida.

When it opened, the building housed all Miami-area federal agencies with the exception of the Weather Service. The U.S. Postal Service vacated the building in 1976. It was occupied by federal courts and various federal agencies until 2008. It is contained within Federal Courthouse Square, a two-block area that includes two other courthouses. On May 12, 2016, neighboring Miami Dade College signed a $1 a year, 115-year lease of the building for use as classrooms and lecture halls.

The building is an example of Mediterranean Revival architecture that combines Renaissance Revival elements with regional Florida architectural features. The building, which is faced in Keystone, is three stories in height, with the third story set above a widely projecting entablature on the north, east, and south elevations.

The facade, which has a slightly projecting central bay, faces east onto First Avenue and is dominated by a colonnade composed of regularly spaced engaged Corinthian columns supporting the classical entablature crowning the second story. Cast-aluminum casement window frames have embossed repeating chevron patterns. Spandrel panels depicting scenes from Florida's history are above the second story's arched windows.

The bays adjoining the colonnade feature paired Corinthian pilasters. Bas relief medallions containing classical figures in profile decorate lintels. The central parapet features a carved marble frieze incorporating a large eagle, flanked by a repeating motif of pelicans supporting heraldic shields. The entrances at the ends of the facade have surrounds of carved Floridene buff marble. The north and south elevations feature two-story Corinthian pilasters evoking the facade's colonnade. Ornate mascarons (carved faces) are found on the building's exterior.

The north and south elevations are dominated by central pavilions with bays separated by evenly spaced two-story engaged columns, placed singly and in pairs. An annex is attached to the west elevation. The building's shallow hipped roof is covered with terra-cotta tiles, typical of the Mediterranean Revival style.

Interior spaces are equally elaborate and incorporate eleven different types of marble. Entry vestibules with arched openings lead to the main lobby, where marble covers floors and forms wainscot. Marble pilasters have striking gilt capitals. An inset, multi-colored marble star pattern adorns the center of the floor. Original aluminum and glass chandeliers hang from the painted and gilt wood-and-plaster coffered ceiling. Marble postal tables retain original lamps and inset cast-brass grilles.

The double-height ceremonial District Courtroom is another significant space with well-preserved original details, including the carved wooden judge's bench, jury box, witness stand, and clerk's desk. Decorative details include fluted pilasters, rosettes, and carved plaques with floral rinceaux. At the walls, seven feet of paneled wood wainscot is located beneath scored plaster. Marble Ionic pilasters divide the window openings.

The mural Law Guides Florida Progress completed by artist Denman Fink in 1941 is located above the judge's bench and is flanked by two pairs of Ionic marble pilasters. The mural depicts the positive impact of justice guiding Florida's economic development. Fink included a likeness of himself as a draftsman and a likeness of architect Phineas E. Paist, with whom he worked in Coral Gables, as a chemist. The coffered ceiling features rosettes, stars, and shells.

Other significant artwork in the courthouse includes two striking cast-stone lunettes by Yugoslav-born American artist Alexander Sambugnac. Executed in 1938, the low-relief panels portray two allegorical figures representing themes of the spirit of justice and are placed on the lintels above the leather-covered doors. Love and Hope shows a young woman playing the lyre, while Wisdom and Courage depicts a seated figure gazing at a tablet of the law.

The interior brick courtyard admits light into the building while also providing a beautiful outdoor space commonly found in Florida architecture. A two-story loggia with a vaulted ceiling and columns surrounds the courtyard on three sides.

Keystone pilasters support arched lunette windows above the public lobby's paired French doors. Quoins (corner blocks) and Doric columns add decorative elements to the space.

The Stovehouse in Huntsville, Alabama is a mixed-use office, shopping, dining, and entertainment venue built on the grounds of an old wood and oil heating stove factory. Some of the old buildings, machinery, and tools have been used and on display in the venue. This old furnace is in the back part of the development. Based on the construction around it, there may be plans to incorporate it somehow into a venue.
