Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Erchless, a redbrick mansion whose name means “by the stream” in Gaelic, was home to six generations of the Chisholm family before being purchased by the Town of Oakville in 1977. Since 1991, Erchless Estate has been open to the public as part of the Oakville Museum, which also includes the custom house, and the old post office.
Excerpt from oakvillehistory.org:
Erchless and the Custom House (1835-1856), 8 Navy Street: Land on the southeast bank of the Sixteen was reserved for the family, and in about 1835 the north wing of what is now “Erchless” was built. It served as store, customs and toll house, and there Robert Kerr Chisholm lived, most probably in its upper storey. The centre wing of the “Erchless” was added in 1839…
The home was extended again prior to R.K. Chisholm’s marriage to Flora Matilda Lewis in 1858; construction on the south wing was started in 1856 and the home was named “Erchless”.
The adjacent Custom House was built by R.K. Chisholm in 1855. It provided a new location for the collection of the customs duties and harbour tolls and also provided an office for a branch of the Bank of Toronto.
The Custom House is now operated as a museum with staff offices on the upper storey. “Erchless” is furnished as a display home of the 1920s.

This is the Bartow County Courthouse in Cartersville, Georgia. "The Bartow County Courthouse, built in 1902, is an historic redbrick Classical Revival style county courthouse located on Courthouse Square in Cartersville, Bartow County, Georgia, United States.
Designed by the Louisville, Kentucky architectural firm of Kenneth McDonald & Co. together with self-taught Georgia architect J. W. Golucke, who is said to have designed 27 courthouses in Georgia and four in Alabama, it is Bartow County's third courthouse and the second one built in Cartersville. The first courthouse built in Cassville, while the county was known as Cass County, was burned by General Sherman's troops in 1864. In 1867 the county seat was moved to Cartersville and the second courthouse was built in 1873. It proved to be unsatisfactory because court proceedings had to be halted while trains passed by on the nearby railroad. In 1992 a courthouse annex known as the Frank Moore Administration and Judicial Center was completed.
While the 1902 building is still used for some court purposes, most of the proceedings are held in the 1992 building." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartow_County_Courthouse.
The enormous Redbrick tunnel, flowing into the large chamber. There are a few stairs beneath this tunnel!
Once climbed the large Stairway, it leads to this large redbrick chamber. Enormous in size! We decided to shoot a star burst to show its true beauty!
Puerto Madero is a revamped dockside area. Its converted redbrick buildings contain upscale steakhouses popular with tourists and business lunchers. Sleek skyscrapers house multinational corporations and high-value apartments. Trails loop around several lakes at the wildlife-rich Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve, which draws families and joggers. Spanning the docks, Puente de la Mujer is a graceful suspension bridge.

It's already a while since my St. Louis adventure and I still have sketches to complete of this fascinating red brick city.
Just a little drawing, best not to fit too much in and just show a detail.
The streets of Soulard are so interesting, a rich catalogue of 19th century housing types
Nearly fully boarded farmhouse with a fantastic hilltop view from the second floor sun room, if you can make it that far in the pitch black first floor. A good flashlight helps!
Built of red brick in 1878, the Wandiligong Public Library is a simple building that may be found along Morses Creek Road in the pretty Alpine town of Wandiligong.
Simple it may be, with minimal ornamentation and elegant lines, but this building shows how important and populated Wandiligong was during the Victorian Gold Rush. Not every town had a public library, which makes this survivor a significant piece of history.
Today the Wandiligong Public Library is used as a small local art gallery.
Wandiligong is a town in north-eastern Victoria in the alpine region around 330 kilometres from Melbourne. Established in the 1850s as part of the Victorian Gold Rush, Wandiligong became a hub for many gold miners, including a large Chinese community. At its peak, the town was home to over two thousand inhabitants and boasted shops, churches, a public library, halls and even an hotel. Much has changed since those heady days of the gold rush, and the picturesque town nestled in a valley and built around the Morses Creek, is now a sleepy little town full of picturesque houses which are often let to visitors to the area. The whole town is registered with the National Trust of Australia for its historic landscape and buildings of historic value.

The Zollern Colliery
A castle of labour
At first sight palatial redbrick facades and artistically adorned gables on buildings dotted around a grassy square are more reminiscent of an aristocratic residence than a coal mine. This was exactly one of the ideas behind the architecture.
Today the “mansion of labour” in the west of Dortmund is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and impressive testimonies to Germany’s industrial history. The engine house with its famous Jugendstil (art nouveau) doorway is already an icon. But the museum’s outstanding industrial architecture is only one of many different attractive facets. The various sections of the exhibition will take you into a world of harsh working conditions, and the stories of the men and women who worked in coalmining during the 20th century will bring this vividly to life.
