"The University of Sydney (informally Sydney University or USyd) is a university located in Sydney, Australia. It is the oldest university in Australia, having been established in 1850.
The main campus is centered on large Oxbridge-inspired grounds which spread across the suburbs of Camperdown and Darlington on the south-western outskirts of the Sydney CBD. The architect Edmund Blacket designed the original Neogothic sandstone Quadrangle and Great Tower buildings, which were completed in 1862."
At 220 Collins Street in Melbourne's CBD, this building by architect Marcus Barlow was built in 1932.

St John's Cathedral is located near the Parramatta train station and is the oldest church site in Australia in continuous use. On 10 March 1794 the Rev. Samuel Marsden who had been appointed Assistant Chaplain arrived in Parramatta and relieved Johnstone of the care of these Western settlements. In 1794 Rev. Samuel Marsden opened a temporary church. Five years later in October 1799, Governor Hunter is thought to have laid a foundation stone for a new church. This was to be 100 feet long and 44 wide but work proceeded slowly and in 1801 Governor King wrote to Sir Joseph banks saying; ... nor have we an elegant stone church at Parramatta, one of brick and stone will be finished during the year. But by 1807 Governor Bligh was still complaining that work was still unfinished, although presumably the superstructure was intact as it had been used for worship since 1803. Made out of brick the predominant feature of the 'Old' St John's Church were the two towers inspired by a similar set on Reculver Church in Kent. The story behind these somewhat unusual features states that they were made at the request of Mrs Macquaire, as Reculver was the last church she saw as she left England. Governor Macquarie asked his aide-de-camp, Lieutenant John Cliffe Watts of the 46th Regiment, to come up with designs. Sometime around 1852 it was decided to pull down the old church and erect a new one. The original church was demolished in 1852 and replaced with a new sandstone nave built in Romanesque Revival style to the design of architect-builder, James Houison. All of the main part of the building was removed except for the two towers. In 1883, the transepts were added by E. T. Blacket and Son. The organ, installed in 1863 at a cost of £359, is one of the most substantial and best-preserved J. W. Walker organs of its period.
Saint-Stephen Cathedral Metz, France, is a Rayonnant Gothic edifice built with the local yellow Jaumont limestone. Like in French Gothic architecture, the building is compact, with slight projection of the transepts and subsidiary chapels. However, it displays singular, distinctive characteristics in both its ground plan and architecture compared to most of the other cathedrals. Because of topography of Moselle valley in Metz, the common west-east axis of the ground plan could not be applied and the church is oriented north-northeast. Moreover, unlike the French and German Gothic cathedrals having three portals surmounted by a rose window and two large towers, Saint-Stephen of Metz has a single porch at its western facade. One enters laterally in the edifice by another portal placed at the south-western side of the narthex, declining the usual alignment of the entrance with the choir. The nave is supported by flying buttresses and culminates at 41.41 metres high, making one of the highest naves in the world. The height of the nave is contrasted by the relatively low height of the aisles with 14.3 metres high, reinforcing the sensation of tallness of the nave. This feature permitted the architects to create large, tall expanses of stained glass. Through its history, Saint-Stephen Cathedral was subjected to architectural and ornamental modifications with successive additions of Neoclassical and Neogothic elements.
The edification of Saint-Stephen of Metz took place on an Ancient site from the 5th century. The construction of the Gothic cathedral began in 1220 within the walls of an Ottonian basilica dating from the 10th century. The integration into the cathedral's ground plan of a Gothic chapel from the 12th century at the western end resulted in the absence of a main western portal; the south-western porch of the cathedral being the entrance of the former chapel. The work was completed around 1520 and the new cathedral was consecrated on 11 April 1552. In 1755, French architect Jacques-François Blondel was awarded by the Royal Academy of Architecture to built a Neoclassical portal at the West end of the cathedral. He disengaged the cathedral's facade by razing an adjacent cloister and three attached churches and achieved the westwork in 1764. In 1877, the Saint-Stephen of Metz was heavily damaged after a conflagration due to fireworks. After this incident, it was decided the refurbishment of the cathedral and its adornments within a Neogothic style. The western facade was completely rebuilt between 1898 and 1903; the Blondel's portal was demolished and a new Neogothic portal was added.

Obernai: L'Eglise Saints Pierre et Paul
Construite à l'emplacement d'une ancienne église gothique démolie en 1867, l'Eglise Saints Pierre et Paul, de style néogothique, est le plus grand sanctuaire d'Alsace après la Cathédrale de Strasbourg. Son choeur contient de riches peintures de Martin Feuerstein (1856-1931) et des boiseries du Colmarien Théophile Klem (1849-1923). Le transept droit possède de jolis vitraux datant de la findu 19 ème siècle, celui de gauche deux joyaux du gothique flamboyant (l'autel du Saint-Sépulcre de 1504 et quatre verrières de la fin du 15ème siècle) ainsi que la custode en grès rose des Vosges contenant le coeur de Monseigneur Freppel, évëque d'Angers, né à Obernai en 1827 et mort en 1891.
Gargoyles are one of the most notable features of Gothic architecture. These winged beasts and frightening monsters are found on the outside of many Gothic structures.
A "gargoyle" is an unusual, fantastic, mythical or eerie carved creature that serves as a waterspout or drain, and is used to drain water from a building. A trough is cut in the back of the gargoyle and rainwater typically exits through the open mouth. It is usually an elongated and long-necked animal because the length of the gargoyle determines how far water is thrown from the wall. Superstition held that gargoyles frightened away evil spirits while serving their practical function.
Similar carved creatures that do not act as waterspouts or drains and are for decorative purposes only are called "grotesques". However, in modern terminology the term "gargoyle" has come to be used for both functional and non-functional forms of this form of sculpture.
The gargoyles in the University of Sydney Quadrangle are mostly found high up on walls, towers and turrets from the Great Hall round to the Western Tower via the cloister. While some of the University's gargoyles fulfil the drainpipe function, most are purely decorative.

When built, Northumberland Avenue was designed for luxury accommodation, including the seven-storey Grand Hotel, the Victoria and the Metropole. The Playhouse Theatre opened in 1882 and become a significant venue in London. From the 1930s onwards, hotels disappeared from Northumberland Avenue and were replaced by offices used by departments of the British Government, including the War Office and Air Ministry, later the Ministry of Defence. The street has been commemorated in the Sherlock Holmes novels including The Hound of the Baskervilles, and is a square on the British Monopoly board.

“This very beautiful romanic-neogothic church (ca. 1915), which though very large looks dwarfed by the neighbouring Kavanagh and Plaza Hotel Buildings, is considered to be an architectural jewel. Designed by french architects, it is composed of 5 towers (3 in the front) with beautiful white marble sculptures in its front. Inside it you can find beautiful wood carvings made by Flemish artisans (from Brugge, Belgium) and 2 world renowned organs which master organ players from around the world come to play and listen to (one is a 4800 pipe Mutin-Cavaillé-Coll from France and the other a Merklin from Belgium, similar, but slightly smaller than the ones in Notre-Dame Cathedral and Sacre Coeur in Paris). Four meters below the base of the belfry is the cript of Mrs. Mercedes Castellanos de Anchorena who had this whole massive church built for her (as a cript for her family) between 1907 and 1915: She was inmensely rich and we will later see her family palace-like mansion, just across the Plaza San Martin park. It sets the tone for understanding the mindset of the families that shaped Buenos Aires.“.

A valiant attempt at gothic style, compliments of the 19th century.
Lots of cables were running across the image, the worst of which I managed to delete.
The style is one that crops up often in RC art of the 50's and early 60's. There is an influence of cubism but not enough to scare the horses. This nod to modernism is much different than a work from the same artist several decades earlier. www.flickr.com/photos/8142229@N08/8362210837/

This iron bracket is an architectural detail in the lobby area of the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel. This modern hotel was opened in 2011 following extensive refurbishment of a disused building that was originally built as the Midland Grand Hotel in 1873.
The original architect was George Gilbert Scott; his neo-gothic design draws on Italian gothic influences.
There has been a manor house at Ettington going back at least as far as the time of the Norman Conquest, as it is mentioned in the Domesday Book. Throughout this time it has been the estate of the Shirley family.
The current neo-gothic building dates back to an extensive remodelling undertaken from 1858-62 by Evelyn Philip Shirley, who commissioned architect John Prichard. Prichard was a disciple of gothic revivalist Pugin, himself influenced by the writings of John Ruskin.
Ettington Park is now a luxury hotel.
