The Neoclassical revival, Corinthian style building was designed by architect Richard K.A. Kletting, and built between 1912 and 1916. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Beginning in 2004, the capitol underwent a major restoration and renovation project.

The white-plastered, neoclassical country house with basement was built between 1851 and 1854. The house has a monumental orangery, with an upper middle part and two curved side wings, all in brick with pilasters. Neoclassical means as much as "with sober, strict, yet calm forms". The commissioner for the construction was Maria van Mattemburgh. In 1878 another conservatory was added. On the street side of the manor is a hilly flower bed in the style of Pückler-Muskau. There is also a coach house and a plastered octagonal tea dome with wooden crowning. The romantic park landscaping with an English and a French garden dates from approximately 1878. It has an area of ​​17 ha. Since the garden is located on the Brabantse Wal, where there is a strong difference in height, it was used by the landscape architects. The tea dome is located on an artificial hill 11 m above sea level. Three visual axes run from there, one to the Markiezaatsmeer and two in the direction of De Blaffert. Below the tea house is an ice cellar, which nowadays houses bats, such as the long-eared bat, water bat, fringed tail and the long-eared bat. In the lawn is a meandering pond that changes into the brook De Blaffert, and over which are two bridges, a Chinese bridge and a bridge that is built from boulders. The garden contains a number of statues, which were placed between 1990 and 1995. The long gable farm Hildernisse is located on the estate. This farm was originally 17th century, but in its current appearance it dates from the mid-18th century. In the west facade is a niche with a statue of Mary. The farm has a barn and a bakehouse. The garden is considered one of the five most important style gardens in the Netherlands.

This is my second visit to this house which was once owned by Henry Drummond. In 1804 he commissioned an architect William Wilkins to redesign his brick house into a neoclassical Ancient Greek temple.

The Frontenac County Court House in Kingston, Ontario, Canada is the Courthouse for Frontenac County, Ontario. The Neoclassical building was designed by Edward Horsey and constructed by builders Scobell and Tossell. Alternation after 1874 fire by John Power added the dome tower. It overlooks City Park to its south, and Lake Ontario beyond. The front of the structure features the Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom.

The building was constructed between 1855 and 1858 as a judicial and administrative complex with a jail in the rear. In 1980 it was designated a National Historic Site of Canada.

A view of the buildings on the north side of Lincoln's historic courthouse square as seen from the steps of the Logan County Courthouse. This view shows the entire 600 Block of Broadway St. All of the properties in this view lie within the Lincoln Courthouse Square Historic District that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

Of the eight buildings shown above, the former Lincoln Savings and Building Association building (c. 1914, Neoclassical) at the corner of Broadway and N. Kickapoo St. (left), and the two-story commercial building at the opposite end of the block (c. 1895, Italianate) at the corner of Broadway and N. McLean St. (right). are contributing properties in the historic district.

The buildings sandwiched between the two ends are a mix of newer mid-century commercial buildings, and older buildings that have been modernized to the extent that their historic architectural antecedents are basically unrecognizable. These buildings are non-contributing properties within the historic district.

Lincoln is the seat of Logan County, which is situated in central Illinois approximately 26 miles northeast of Springfield, the state capitol. The estimated population of Lincoln in 2018 was 13,685.

This Neoclassical building is one of 61 "Carnegie Libraries" in Michigan. These libraries were funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York, a philanthropic endeavor by Andrew Carnegie. Over 2500 libraries were built between 1883 and 1929.

The Traverse City Library was built in 1904 and expanded in the 1960s. The addition, an awful, non-descript box of a building (in my opinion), was completely devoid of character, and inconsistent with the simple, elegant structure of the original. I cropped that addition out of this picture.

Today, Traverse City has grown, and a larger library has been built, with the Carnegie library eventually becoming today's "History Museum."

Kozłówka Palace is a large rococo and neoclassical palace complex of the Zamoyski family in Kozłówka, Lubartów County, Lublin Voivodeship in eastern Poland.

The palace was built between 1735 and 1742 and is one of Poland's official national Historic Monuments (Pomnik historii), as designated May 16, 2007, and tracked by the National Heritage Board of Poland. It currently houses the Zamoyski Family Museum in Kozłówka. The Kozłówka Landscape Park lies south of the palace complex.

The original palace was built in the first half of 18th century for Michał Bieliński, voivode of Chełmno; its architect was Jozef II Fontana. It represents the characteristic type of baroque suburban residence built entre cour et jardin (between the entrance court and the garden). Its architecture is original - a merger of European art with old Polish building traditions. In 1799, the Palace was acquired by the aristocratic Zamoyski family. It belonged to the family up until 1944. The palace experienced a period of great prosperity during the times of Count Konstanty Zamoyski who remodelled the palace in order to turn it into one of the most monumental and representative magnate residences in Poland.

Between 1879 and 1907, the palace was rebuilt in Neo-Baroque style, the chapel was modified (modelled on the chapel at Versailles Palace); a theatre, a second outbuilding and an entrance gate were also added. The palace also features a unique sewers system from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, which made it possible for the owners of the property to have access to some of the earliest modern bathrooms in Europe.

In 1903, the Kozłówka entail was established by Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, which meant that the property belonging to the Zamoyski family could not be sold or divided and automatically passed by law to the eldest heir.

In 1928, the chairman of the Polish Gymnastics Society Sokół, Count Adam Michał Zamoyski, organized a training camp in the palace gardens for the Polish national gymnastics team in preparation for the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam.

From November 1944, when the last owners Count Aleksander Zamoyski and his wife Countess Jadwiga Zamoyska were forced to flee their palace, it became the property of the Communist regime, whose grip on Poland ended in 1989. It currently hosts the Zamoyski family museum.

The interiors of the palace were preserved despite the ravages of the German Nazi and Soviet Regimes from 1939 to 1989. The original opulent design and most of museum quality art from the Zamoyski family collections remain.

The surroundings of the palace also include a historic chapel, French Baroque garden, stables and a carriage house. The palace grounds also feature the Gallery of Socrealism, the largest collection of communist art in Poland featuring over 1,600 sculptures, paintings, drawings and posters.

This neoclassical alleyway goes back a ways. Construction of the "new" Somerset House, built on the site of a Tudor palace belonging to the Duke of Somerset, began in 1776! Beyond the arch is the "New Wing," even newer from the Victorian era. The history of Somerset House is one of the richest in London.

Originally built to be a grand public building housing various government, and public-benefit society offices, today the massive complex centered around the arts and education. The Courtauld Gallery has occupies the North Wing since 1989.

ant Agustí Nou és un temple d'estil neoclàssic edificat entre 1728 i 1750, a la plaça de Sant Agustí, al carrer Hospital del barri del Raval de Barcelona.[1] En l'indret hi ha restes de l'antic convent dels agustins homònim.

És una església amplia d'una sola nau, amb capelles laterals. Està coberta amb volta de canó amb llunetes i creuer amb cúpula. La capçalera és del segle xix i forma un semicercle de columnes corínties.[1] La façana va ser projectada el 1735 per Pere Costa i ha quedat inacabada, ja que només es va completar la part inferior, amb un atri d'arcades de mig punt amb pilastres jòniques. Al mig hi ha un escut borbònic.[1]

Història

Veneració de Santa Rita el 22 de maig

L'orde dels frares agustins, instal·lat a Barcelona des del segle x, havia instaurat la seva seu entre els actuals carrers de Tantarantana i del Comerç, en un conjunt conventual construït bàsicament entre 1309 i 1474, amb diverses reformes i ampliacions durant els ss. XVI i XVII, anomenat Convent de Sant Agustí Vell, situat al barri de la Ribera.[1] Després del setge de Barcelona de 1713-1714 de la Guerra de Successió havia quedat demostrat que el flanc nord de la ciutat tenia unes defenses insuficients, raó per la qual es va plantejar la construcció de la Fortalesa de la Ciutadella. La construcció, a partir de 1716, d'aquella fortalesa implicava la creació d'una gran esplanada defensiva i la reducció de l'alçada de les edificacions que l'envoltaven per facilitar-ne la defensa. Aquestes necessitats afectaren greument el convent de Sant Agustí, que l'any 1718 va ser radicalment rebaixat en alçada i que l'any 1738 fou desposseït d'una part de la seva superfície per adaptar-la a les noves alineacions de l'esplanada (actual Carrer del Comerç).[2]

Davant la insistència dels Agustins per trobar un nou emplaçament digne per al seu orde, l'any 1727 el rei Felip V cedí uns terrenys entre els carrers de l'Hospital i de Sant Pau, resultants de la demolició de set cases preexistents. El projecte per al nou convent, de dimensions molt majors a l'originari, va ser traçat pel mestre d'obres Pere Bertran que, precisament, també s'havia encarregat de la destrucció parcial de Sant Agustí Vell. Per bé que la primera pedra de la nova església fou col·locada solemnement el 12 de desembre de 1728, un seguit de polèmiques i plets originats des de la Parròquia del Pi i altres convents del barri, provocaren que les obres dels agustins fossin paralitzades nombroses vegades. L'any 1748, l'arquitecte i escultor Pere Costa, acadèmic de la Real Academia de San Fernando de Madrid, presentà el projecte definitiu per a la façana principal de l'església. Ferran VI i el capità general Marquès de la Mina donaren l'últim impuls a les obres, dirigides per Bernardí Padallàs i Josep Pi, fins que el 30 de desembre de 1750 es produí el trasllat definitiu del convent.[3] Tanmateix, les obres de tan gran recinte es prolongaren fins a l'any 1835.[2]

Durant l'ocupació napoleònica de Guerra del Francès del 1808, el convent va haver d'allotjar, durant dos anys, el batalló de Guardies Valons i, un cop expulsats els religiosos, l'església fou desmantellada i convertida en paller. L'any 1813 va quedar sense religiosos. El 1814 els soldats van marxar i els frares iniciaren les obres de restauració, però van patir acusacions d'haver col·laborat amb els ocupants.[3] Arran de la crema de convents generalitzada a Barcelona el 25 de juliol de 1835, el convent de Sant Agustí va ser assaltat, saquejat i incendiat pels revolucionaris. Després d'aquest episodi i amb motiu de la desamortització de 1835, la biblioteca conventual es convertí en teatre i el convent fou venut a la Societat Barcelonesa de Fundició de Ferro i Construcció de Maquinària. Altres dependències del convent foren convertides en dipòsits municipals de malsendreços, mobiliari i objectes que arribaren d'altres convents saquejats.[2]

Amb l'exclaustració del convent promoguda per la Desamortització, el mateix any 1835, l'església de Sant Agustí Nou s'erigí com a parròquia.[1] El mal estat de l'edifici, però, obligà la nova parròquia de Sant Agustí a tenir la seva seu a la veïna i rival Parròquia del Pi fins a la primavera de 1839, quan es contractà la rehabilitació de l'església als mestres d'obres Josep Mas Vila i Francesc Valles. És probablement en aquesta època que es modificà la capçalera, transformant l'antic presbiteri quadrat per un presbiteri semicircular envoltat de columnes corínties i coronat per un quart d'esfera.[2]

L'any 1855 l'ajuntament expropià l'atri de l'església i n'enderrocà la reixa antiga per obrir la nova "Plaza de la Igualdad", avui Plaça de Sant Agustí. L'any 1860 el pintor Claudio Lorenzale i Sugrañes, recentment nomenat director de la Llotja, decorà el quart d'esfera del presbiteri amb una glòria mariana, seguint un esbós presentat pel llavors jove pintor Fortuny. L'altar columnari sota el quart d'esfera va ser daurat i decorat per l'arquitecte Elies Rogent l'any 1864. L'any 1880 el cos desocupat afrontat al Carrer de l'Arc de Sant Agustí passà a acollir l'escola de les "Hijas de la Caridad Españolas de San Vicente de Paúl", per a nenes i joves obreres.[2] En l'espai de la biblioteca del convent s'hi edificà el Teatre Odeon, que va funcionar de 1850 a 1887. En els terrenys del convent també s'hi va ubicar l'empresa Tous, Ascacíbar y Compañía (1841) de Nicolau Tous i Soler, i el Teatre Romea l'any 1863.

L'any 1925 l'interior de l'església fou restaurat per l'empresa Vilaró i Valls, que s'encarregà de repintar murs i fusteries i netejar els elements petris. Tanmateix, entre el 19 i el 20 de juliol de 1936, l'església fou incendiada i saquejada durant els primers disturbis de la Guerra Civil, quedant destruït el presbiteri, la Capella del Santíssim (decorada entre 1904 i 1906 per Joaquim Torres Garcia), les gelosies de la tribuna i la resta de retaules que ornaven les capelles laterals. Fou ocupada pel sindicat d'Arts Gràfiques.[3] A més, durant la Guerra, l'ajuntament va demolir el cos afrontat al carrer de l'Arc de Sant Agustí que acollia l'escola de noies i la casa parroquial (on avui hi ha l'Hotel Sant Agustí) quedà en estat de ruïna total. Tot i que s'havia ordenat la demolició total de la parròquia, l'arquitecte municipal Joaquim Vilaseca i Rivera, aconseguí frenar-la, al·legant que podria ser utilitzada com a sala de concerts. Després de la Guerra Civil, l'interior de la parròquia fou profundament remodelat, sense que hagi transcendit, de moment, l'autoria i direcció de les obres.[2]

El 7 de novembre de 1971 la parròquia de Sant Agustí fou l'escenari de la constitució de l'Assemblea de Catalunya,[3] una plataforma antifranquista que agrupava l'oposició de partits, sindicats i organitzacions polítiques i socials catalanes.[2]

L'any 2009 s'endegaren les obres de consolidació i revestiment de la façana del costat de l'evangeli, resultant de l'enderroc de l'escola de noies durant la guerra. Aquell mur, que mai havia estat interactuat fins llavors, tradueix encara els perfils de les voltes que cobrien l'antiga Capella de la Bona Mort i la galeria de sepultures.[2]

L'any 2011 s'hi va celebrar un acte commemorant els 40 anys de l'Assem

Church of Sant Agustí Nou del Raval

Church

A popular church in the Barcelona district of El Raval. It was built on the site of the former convent of Sant Agustí and is also known as the “cathedral of the poor” due to the great social roots that it has always had in the neighbourhood.

Called Sant Agustí Nou (new) to differentiate it from the church of the old convent of Sant Agustí, this temple in the Barcelona neighbourhood of El Raval was built between 1728 and 1760. It formed part of a larger architectural ensemble, however, during the disendowment of Mendizábal the convent and cloister were lost. It is commonly known as the “cathedral of the poor” and plays an important role in the social life of the neighbourhood of El Raval. It is the headquarters of two brotherhoods, La Macarena and Gran Poder.

It is formed by a single nave with interconnected side chapels. Two of the most popular chapels among the parishioners are the chapels dedicated to Saint Ponç and Saint Rita, in which it is common to see floral offerings.

Osgoode Hall is a landmark building in downtown Toronto dating from 1829. It originally served to house the regulatory body for lawyers in Ontario along with its law school (formally established as Osgoode Hall Law School in 1889) which was the only recognized professional law school for the province at the time.[1] It was constructed between 1829 and 1832 in the late Georgian Palladian and Neoclassical styles. It currently houses the Ontario Court of Appeal, the Divisional Court of the Superior Court of Justice, the offices of The Law Society of Upper Canada and the Great Law Library. The portico of Osgoode Hall's east wing was built at the head of Toronto's York Street to serve as a terminating vista, though it is now obscured by trees planted on the building's lawn.
