from a residence, each day walking to work I would see these staggered structures, quite 70's style of architecture
I love those old red-brick churches, in contrast to the green on the surrounding cemetery. Here, the trunk and branches of a birch tree gave me a great frame.

In 1967, the redbrick Mark Abbott Memorial Lighthouse was built adjacent to the wooden tower that it would replace. The lantern room from the decommissioned Oakland Harbour Lighthouse was used atop the new lighthouse, and Mark Abbott’s (died body surfing) ashes were buried at the base of the tower. Badly corroded, the lantern room was replaced in 1996. Since 1986, the small lighthouse has been home to the Santa Cruz Surfing Museum.

Station 10, completed in 2008, is also known as the "Maurice Gates Firehouse", and colloquially as "Tens" as it houses Engine 10, Ladder 10, and Medic 10. Its firefighters are nicknamed the "River Rats", as most Columbus fire stations have nicknames or mascots. The river rat theme alludes to the many floods, including the Great Flood of 1913, that plagued the area until a floodwall was constructed between Franklinton and the nearby Scioto River. Wikipedia

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.
The BC Copper Company smelter began operation at Greenwood BC in 1901, servicing ore from the Mother Lode Mine and other mines in the area. By 1910 the boom had passed and Greenwood's population was 1,500. At the end of WWI, the demand for copper dropped, and by 1918 the copper market was dead and the smelter in Greenwood lay idle. The following year it closed down permanently. Unlike many of its late brethren, this smelter has left behind a few reminders of its heyday, the main one being this 210 foot tall smokestack. In its lifetime, however, the smelter made quite a stir, spawning the City of Greenwood, which grew to a population of over 3,000 at its peak, then as quickly imploded to as few as 200 citizens soon after the smelter closed. Greenwood was incorporated as a city in 1897 and remains a city - the smallest in Canada, both in population and area - now with a population of less than 700.
The DeSoto County Courthouse is an historic redbrick courthouse building located at 115 East Oak Street in Arcadia, Florida. Designed by architects Bonfoey & Elliott of Tampa in the Classical Revival style, it was built in 1912-1913 by the Read-Parker Construction Company to serve as DeSoto County's third courthouse and the second one built in Arcadia. It was restored in 1976 and is a contributing property in the Arcadia Historic District.
The building was designed by the Tampa architectural firm of Bonfoey & Elliott. In 1989, the DeSoto County Courthouse was listed in A Guide to Florida's Historic Architecture, published by the University of Florida Press.

A very pretty eclectic building in pride of place in Wigan town centre. Its on the corner of Market street and the so called Market place (even though the Wigan market has never been placed there!)
The building dates to 1904 and has an amazing mixture of Edwardian Baroque and 16th century vernacular styles.
The building seems to age progressively as you look up! with a rather plain and ugly modern shopfront, the lovely Edwardian baroque second floor and the 16th century style 3rd floor!
The building is constructed out of Accrington Red brick in an "English garden wall" bond with sandstone dressings and some timber framing, all under a red tiled roof. It is also English Heritage Grade II listed.
These late-19th century buildings on the east side of Sloane Square in London feature interesting Dutch-style gables. The overall façades comprise terracotta or (on the left) redbrick with painted stonework.
According to the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea’s Conservation Area Appraisal, what we see here is ‘an exquisite specimen of the Queen Anne Revival and Pont Street Dutch architectural movements that completely transformed this part of London’. It's known colloqually as the Colbert Building, a reference to the ground floor brasserie of the same name.
