Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyeongbokgung:
Gyotaejeon (交泰殿), also called Gyotaejeon Hall, is a building used as the main residing quarters by the queen during the Joseon Dynasty. The building is located behind Gangnyeongjeon, the king's quarters, and contains the queen's bed chamber. It was first constructed in around 1440, the 22nd year of King Sejong the Great.
King Sejong, who was noted to have a frail health later in his reign, decided to carry out his executive duties in Gangnyeongjeon, where his bed-chamber is located, instead of Sajeongjeon. Since this decision meant many government officials routinely needed to visit and intrude Gangnyeongjeon, King Sejong had Gyotaejeon built in consideration of his wife the queen's privacy.
The building was burned down in 1592 when the Japanese invaded Korea, but was reconstructed in 1867. Nevertheless, when Daejojeon of Changdeokgung Palace was burned down by a fire in 1917, the Japanese government disassembled the building and recycled its construction materials to restore Daejojeon. The current building was reconstructed in 1994 according to its original design and specifications. The building, like Gangnyeongjeon, does not have a top roof ridge called yongmaru.
The Guildford Council Chambers were reconstructed from a 1900s building. Parts of the wall and stable still stand. An air raid shelter was created by strengthening one room, during World War II. This area remains today and is currently used as the 'strong room'. It has a lowered cement ceiling, cement floor and double brick walls.
Guildford Town Hall and Library, incorporating the Guildford Town Hall, a brick, rendered brick and tile building constructed in 1937 in the Inter-War Art Deco style, and the Guildford Library (former Council Chambers) a brick, rendered brick and zincalume-roofed building built in 1900 and remodelled in 1937 to complement the Town Hall, has cultural heritage significance for the following reasons: The place contains particularly well resolved examples of civic buildings designed or remodelled in the Inter-War Art Deco style. The Guildford Town Hall is a fine example of a town hall designed in this style in the 1930s in Western Australia; The place is a significant example of the work of Eales, Cohen and Fitzhardinge Architects, and in particular of John Fitzhardinge who is credited with the Interwar design and redesign of the two buildings; The place is a visual landmark in its prominent location in the centre of the historic Town of Guildford; The place is representative of the development of local government in the City of Swan region and incorporates civic buildings which represent the growth of local government in the early and mid twentieth century in the State generally. The place forms an integral component of community life in the local government area; and, The car park has the potential through archaeological excavation to provide information on the former convict depot use of the site. The more recent southern end of the outbuilding, eastern entry and covered walkway to the Library, kitchen and other recent fittings to the Town Hall and electrical fittings to the Library are of little cultural heritage significance. The brick wall in the female toilets of the Town Hall and lobby inside the original northern entrance of the Library are intrusive. Plantings of little or no significance are noted in the Conservation Plan.

Old Rochester Bridge.

The premier website for this monument is definitely Rochester Bridge Trust
the whole website is well worth reading and I have copied excerpts from it.
A WORD FROM THE WARDEN
Welcome to the website of The Rochester Bridge Trust. Since Roman times a bridge has crossed the River Medway at Rochester, and since medieval times the Wardens and Assistants of Rochester Bridge have maintained this strategic river crossing. ......, crossings as important for today's traffic as at any time in our history. ...... I hope you will enjoy our website and learn more about the history and current work of The Rochester Bridge Trust. My first named predecessor as Bridge Warden in 1383, Robert Rowe, could never have envisaged the technology enabling your research today.
THE ROMAN BRIDGE
Over the centuries before the modern day road bridges there have been three other bridges at Rochester: the Roman bridge, the medieval bridge, and the Victorian bridge. The Roman bridge crossed the River Medway on the line of Watling Street, the main Roman road running from London to Richborough and Dover on the Kent coast. Built soon after the Roman conquest under Claudius in 43 AD, the first bridge across the Medway had nine stone piers constructed on foundations deep below the riverbed. Archaeological evidence of these foundations was found during construction work in the nineteenth century.
In the parishes surrounding Rochester the manors and estates belonging to the king, the archbishop, and the bishop of Rochester were each responsible for keeping a section of the bridge in good repair. Whenever the bridge needed repair, a royal commission consulted the bridgework list kept by the bishop of Rochester and assigned responsibility for repairs. This system worked for centuries until the cold winter of 1381, when the River Medway froze solid. According to the Winchester Chronicle, when the ice melted in February, the combined pressure of flood waters and ice carried away "the great part of the bridge."
THE MEDIEVAL BRIDGE
In February 1382 a royal commission was appointed to decide who was responsible to repair the ruined Roman bridge. The commissioners, who included Henry Yevele, the best English architect of his time, and the powerful Kentish knight and landowner Sir John de Cobham, concluded that Rochester needed a new bridge with stone arches. Sir John recruited the help of another wealthy knight, Sir Robert Knolles, and between them they paid for the construction of a new stone bridge 100 yards upstream from the remains of the Roman bridge. Construction began in August 1387 and finished in September 1391.
Although constantly repaired, the medieval stone bridge continued to provide the only crossing at Rochester for almost 500 years. During this time both the river traffic and the road traffic increased steadily, and in the late 18th century the Wardens and Assistants of Rochester Bridge extensively modernised the bridge.
The programme of modernisation was completed in 1824, but the refurbished stone bridge was eventually replaced entirely by a new cast iron bridge in 1856.
THE VICTORIAN BRIDGE
Painting of Victorian Cast Iron Bridge. The modernisation of the medieval stone bridge proved to be only a temporary solution to the increasing demands of road and river traffic.
At the insistence of the Admiralty they finally decided on a cast iron bridge with three arches and a ship's passage with a swing bridge that would allow ships with fixed masts to navigate upriver.
The placement of the new bridge on the line of Watling Street and the old Roman bridge required the purchase of considerable property in Strood before construction could begin.
CONSTRUCTION HISTORY
In April 1910, after considering several designs put forward by bridge engineer John Robson, the Wardens and Assistants of Rochester Bridge approved plans to reconstruct the bridge by raising the roadway and suspending it from arches above the road surface instead of supporting it on arches below. After an expenditure of £95, 887 the bridge was once again declared open for traffic on 14 May 1914. The reconstructed bridge, known today as the Old Bridge, has three arched steel truss spans and a plate girder approach span with ramps at each end. The Strood Approach at the western end is constructed over brick arches. The carriageway, originally built for two tramway tracks and third lane for overtaking traffic, is 7.93 metres wide. Today, it carries the two lanes of westward-bound traffic from Rochester to Strood.

From the first century B.C. to the fifth century A.D., western Hungary was part of the Roman Empire. Aquincum, the ancestor of Budapest, was a major settlement, with over 15,000 inhabitants. Its ruins date back to the second century. Remains of an amphitheatre, mosaic floors, tombstones, statues and a reconstructed water-organ are the main attractions at the Museum of Aquincum.
This was taken in the Gwalia Supply Company Store about 1880.
That's to say it was taken in a reconstruction of the original store found in St. Fagan's National History Museum, just outside Cardiff.

This museum contains many reconstructed buildings, of all ages, taken from all over Wales and rebuilt as the originals, in the grounds of St Fagan's Castle.
It's a fascinating way to spend a day.
But I couldn't find the checkout and there was no-one behind the counter.

The Sukhothai Wihan at Muang Boran was reconstructed based on archaeological and historical evidences; the wihan is constructed based on the wihan of phra Buddha Chnarat of Wat Phra Siratana Maha That in Phitsanulok. However, the wihan of Phra Buddha Chinarat has undergone many restorations since the Sukhothai period; the original from and design have mostly disappeared. Consequently, Muang Boran had to study the plan of another Sukhothai wihan at Wat Nang Phaya in Si Satchanalai, Sukhothai Proveince, for the most anthentic reconstruction of the Sukhothai wihan at Muang Boran.
The architectural ornaments on both the exterio and the interior of thebuilding are derived form originals in Sukhothei, Si Satchanalai and Chiang Saen in Chiang Rai Province, The ceramic roof ornaments are accurate reproductions of original pieces form the Sangkalk kilns of Si Satchanalai and from other sites of the period.
The preseiding Buddha image is modeled after the Walking Buddha Image form the niche in the north face of the mondop at Wat Traphang Thong Lang n Sukhothei.The frame around the image is derived form the art of Wat Pa Sak in ChingSaen. The lotus capitals are a design taken from those at Wat Phra Si Ratana Maha That of Chalieng. The mural ornament comes from Wat Namg Phaya n Si Sathcanalai. Engraved schist slabsare sunk into the wall like tn the secret passage in the south wall of the mondop at Wat Si Chum inlod Sukhothei. So, the Sukhothai wihan at Muang Boran shows unique details of Sukhothai art and architectural style.

Out with the old, in with the new.
This photo was inspired by David Talley's image "True Self". His image is important to me and relates a lot to me at this time in my life.
In his image, he is trying to spread the message to be yourself and nothing else. Don't ever try and be something you are not. Be your True Self.
That is something I have too began to realize. I haven't been my true self. I've been something I am not and I am now in the process of changing that.
(I guess you can call it growing up).
This photo is a representation of that process. I have finally figured out who I really am. I know what I want in life and am taking the steps necessary to get that.
To do this, I basically have to begin to destroy who I was in order to become who I AM. I have to shatter the things of the past and let in room for the things of the future.
Sometimes, you have to break yourself to make yourself.
The Apocalypse was a true disaster, dead people everywere, broken buildings everywere, our lives where distroyed. We had nothing left. The only thing we could do was survive, not an easy job if you ask me. I didn't have a house. Most of my friends were dead. On the way to survive I met some people and together we looked for more survivors, food, water and a life. We made ourself a camp in a old factory that was still standing. We got ourselves some vehicles for faster transport. Everyday we hope for a better life. And I still have hope that one day, we can live in pease together.

Malbork Castle, Zamek w Malborku
The Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork is a 13th-century Teutonic castle and fortress located near the town of Malbork, Poland. It is the largest castle in the world measured by land area and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wikipedia
It was originally constructed by the Teutonic Knights, a German Catholic religious order of crusaders, in a form of an Ordensburg fortress. The Order named it Marienburg in honour of Mary, mother of Jesus. In 1457, it since served as one of the several Polish royal residences and the seat of Polish offices and institutions to 1772. From then on the castle was under German rule for over 170 years until 1945.
The castle is a classic example of a medieval fortress and, on its completion in 1406, was the world's largest brick castle. UNESCO designated the "Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork" and the Malbork Castle Museum a World Heritage Site in December 1997. It is one of two World Heritage Sites in the region (north-central Poland), together with the "Medieval Town of Toruń", which was founded in 1231.
Malbork Castle is also one of Poland's official national Historic Monuments (Pomnik historii), as designated on 16 September 1994. Its listing is maintained by the National Heritage Board of Poland.
With the rise of Adolf Hitler to power in the early 1930s, the Nazis used the castle as a destination for annual pilgrimages of both the Hitler Youth and the League of German Girls. The Teutonic Castle at Marienburg served as a blueprint for the Order Castles of the Third Reich built under Hitler's reign. In 1945 during World War II combat in the area, more than half the castle was destroyed. At the conclusion of the war, the city of Malbork and the castle became again part of Poland. The castle has been mostly reconstructed, with restoration ongoing since 1962. A new restoration was completed in April 2016. Malbork Castle remains the largest brick complex in Europe.
Knife River Indian Villages, just off the Missouri River in central North Dakota. You can see some drying racks at left.
I was there on a very windy day, as you can see from some of the trees.
The villages here had a larger population than Washington DC when Lewis and Clark spent the winter nearby in 1804-05.

The main vihara, reconstructed in 1458, has a huge seated Buddha image and faint murals. Also in the vihara is a set of Lanna-period scrolls inscribed (in Lanna script) not only with the usual Buddhist scriptures but also with the history, law, and astrology of the time. A thammdat (a dhamma seat used by monks when teaching) sits to one side. The magnificent stupa behind the vihara dates from the 14th century, probably around the same time the temple was founded, It features 24 elephant supports similar to those seen in Sukhothai and Si Satchanalai.

Built by the city founder Joseph W. Young in 1924 in the Mediterranean Revival Style, the hotel served as a home base for the businessmen and construction workers who built the city. A cornerstone to the fabric of historic Hollywood, the building lines the street with its large arched windows and striped canopies. Over the years it became a popular vacation destination for seasonal travelers and a benchmark to the citizens of Hollywood.

All Classical statuary would have been colorfully painted. This reconstruction of a genuine statue is intended to recreate what the original polychromy would have looked like.
A replica of the Dusit Maha Prasat Palace at the Ancient City.
In the early Rattanakosin era, the Dusit Maha Prasat Palace was an audience hall, where affairs of the state were conducted and royal ceremonies performed. The palace was built by King Rama I in 1806 A.D. The structure is a cruciform building with large high roofs. In the beginning, the palace was intended to be as large as the Suriyat Amarin Palace of Ayutthaya.
The Dusit Maha Prasat Palace in the Grand Palace is now the only remaining example of the traditional Thai palace. Unfortunately, renovated in the reign of King Rama III, the building left no trace of the original workmanship initiated in the first reign.
The Grand Palace at The Ancient City (Muang Boran), however, is not intended to model after the same palace as it stands today. By painstaking research and study of old photos and contemporary documents, The Ancient City has succeeded in recreating the original appearance of the palace.
As for the structural form, the Dusit Maha Prasat Palace at Muang Boran has a number of significant changes from the present-day appearance of the hall. For example, a freestanding pillar which was removed from the original palace during the reign to King Rama VI were reconstructed in the middle of the throne room. The post helps to support the large and high roof of the building. The design and color scheme of the pillars are taken' from the pedestal of the Reclining Buddha at Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimonmangkararam (or Wat Pho) in Bangkok. The style and ornamentation of the ceiling are taken from the design on wood carvings in private collections. The elaborately ornamented porch facades conform with old pictures of the ancient Thai 'prasat' building.
The gilded lacquer work between the windows is styled after the paintings at Wat Nang Nong in Thon Buri, Bangkok. They show the yearly succession of state ceremonies which were recorded by King Rama V. More precisely, the murals depict events of a governmental, religious, military and diplomatic nature and the traditional Thai way of life, Muang Boran has established these tempera murals to foster a revival of the techniques and styles used in traditional Thai mural paintings which have steadily been dying out since the King Rama III.
The Wakefield Covered Bridge - A labour of love
Rebuilding a historic covered bridge.
“Three years after the Gendron covered bridge, built on this site in 1915, had been destroyed by fire (1984), a committee of local volunteers established the Wakefield Covered Bridge Project (1987). Their goal was a new bridge, faithful in structure to the original one, but restricted in use to pedestrians and cyclists.
An estimated $600,000 was needed to rebuild the bridge. Community fund raising, promotions, and events were held, and by 1994, there were enough financial resources to begin the rebuilding process. Fundraising continued, and by 1998, when the bridge was officially opened, it was debt-free. More than 1,000 donors and volunteer workers contributed to reconstructing this landmark.
All of the structural wood in the walls, roof and floor of the bridge is Douglas fir, milled by the Project from boom logs formerly used in the log drive on the Gatineau River - only the exterior siding is pine.
The bridge measures 87.8 metres (288 feet) in length, by 5.5 metres (18 feet) in width, the walls are 4.9 meters (16 feet) high. The height above river is 4.9 meters (16 feet).”
Today, the bridge can be rented by members of the public on a daily basis for such diverse activities as wedding ceremonies, yoga sessions, or even small plays.
Information obtained from dedication plaque in front of the bridge titled “How we rebuilt our historic covered bridge”.
Rembrandt's house
Painter Rembrandt lived and worked in the house between 1639 and 1656. The 17th-century interior has been reconstructed.
Rembrandt purchased the house in 1639 and lived there until he went bankrupt in 1656, when all his belongings went on auction. The auction list enabled the reconstructions of all his belongings which are also on display in the house.
Casa de Rembrandt
El pintor Rembrandt vivió y trabajó en la casa entre 1639 y 1656. El interior del siglo XVII ha sido reconstruido.
Rembrandt compró la casa en 1639 y vivió allí hasta que quebró en 1656, cuando todas sus pertenencias fueron subastadas. La lista de la subasta permitió la reconstrucción de todas sus pertenencias que también están expuestas en la casa.
