During the reconstruction of the Riga Dom Cathedral in the 1890s, part of the former monastery was converted to serve the needs of the Dom Museum. It is the first building in the history of Riga to have been built for a museum, and the inscription on the museum front bears testimony to this. Within the premises there is the Column Hall, built in 1778 in the Classicism style, which housed the library until 1891. The hall is now being used for conferences and a historical 18th—19th centuries exhibition. The Column Hall faces the 13th century groin vaulted gallery and the Riga Dom Cathedral yard, a remarkable Romanesque and Gothic monument of the kind in the Baltic states. The Riga Dom Cathedral ensemble itself is an aesthetic treat that provides information about different periods in the construction of Riga.
Gustav Adolf Church or the Scandinavian Seamen's Church is a historical building located in Park Lane, Liverpool, Merseyside, England. It consists of a church, built between 1883 and 1884, and an attached minister's house, and provides a centre for the Liverpool International Nordic Community.The combined church and minister's house is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.
During the later part of the 19th century, large numbers of Scandinavian emigrants were passing though Liverpool, and there was a need to serve their spiritual needs. The first Scandinavian priest was appointed in 1870, who visited the emigrants in ships and boarding houses. There was perceived to be a need for a permanent centre. The commission to design a church and minister's house was gained by W. D. Caroe, whose father, Anders Kruuse Caroe, was the Danish Consul in the city. It was Caroe's first independent commission to design a church.[3] Building started in 1883 and was completed the following year, at a cost of £15,000 (equivalent to £1,430,000 in 2016).

The design of limekilns in Norfolk is very different from those seen in the north of Britain. The bowl is sunk into the ground with a circular chamber around the draw holes. This chamber has a number of vents to the surface with small square brick chimneys to take away the fumes and smoke. This limekiln at Holkham is in better condition than most although it dates from before 1838. Repairs to the structure suggest that it may have been reactivated during the Second World War.

Captured at dusk on Swann Street NW in Washington, D.C., this image showcases a classic row of early 20th-century homes, brought to life by golden light spilling from their windows. The central townhouse, freshly restored in a striking charcoal gray with crisp white trim, pops with a bold red door that draws the eye—and invites the viewer in. Its neighbors, one in rich red brick and the other in pale yellow, complete a harmonious urban vignette that speaks to the timeless beauty of D.C.’s residential architecture.
Rowhouses like these define much of the city’s character—narrow, tall, and full of detail. Their symmetry and rhythm are punctuated here by decorative cornices, wrought-iron railings, and stoops that tell stories of countless arrivals and departures. A single lamppost stands guard in front, already lit, casting soft light across the sidewalk as the last of the day’s natural light fades.
This block is quiet and residential, just a short walk from the bustle of 14th Street and the Logan Circle area. Yet in this calm moment, the photograph captures the way light, color, and texture breathe life into architecture—and how these carefully preserved homes continue to shine in the heart of a modern city. The red door becomes a beacon of warmth and welcome, set against the cool tones of early evening and the tactile brickwork of D.C.'s past.
"Roseberry" is an elegant Reformist (Arts and Crafts) style bungalow is built in the Melbourne suburb of North Caulfield.
Built between Federation (1901) and the years just after the Great War (1914 - 1918), the use of red brick and the roughcast stuccoed wall treatment of "Roseberry" are very Arts and Crafts inspired as is are the rounded bay windows featuring latticed glass. The tall chimney, the half-timbered gable over the rounded portico and the unusual shaped piers of the portico are also in keeping with the Arts and Crafts Movement in Australia.
"Roseberry" must have been built for someone of affluence, as it was built with a garage to the right-hand side. Its beginning can just been seen to the right of the picture.
As in London, there was a huge expansion in Melbourne after the Great War in 1918, with ribbon development estates with names like "Oakhill" and "Golf Links" popping up seemingly overnight along rail lines and tram lines. These quickly became suburbs where the newly created and newly moneyed middle classes chose to settle, away from the crowded inner city with its dark Victorian houses and slums. These suburbs gained the mocking title of "Metroland".
Representing modernity the inspiration of these "Metroland" houses were derived from the Reformist and Arts and Crafts movement in England as well as the more modern lines of the Art Deco and Streamline Moderne architectural styles that were in vogue in the 1920s and 1930s.
I spend too much time here drinking coffee as the area where the yellow lights are is Costa Coffee. The music auditorium is housed behind the coffee area and has fabulous acoustics.
This church standing the closest from place, where I live. It was built in 1898 as an evangelic church. In that times here were many members of evangelical church, mostly from Czech. During the next years number of catholics was growing, but evangelic people were less year by year. So, in 1976 the church was bought back for the Roman Catolic parish. For the members of evangelic church is now only the small chapel, standing just behind this church.

Kościół pw. Wniebowstąpienia Pańskiego - jednonawowa świątynia zbudowana w 1898r. według projektu Pawła Hosera, w stylu neogotyckim. Początkowo był to kościół ewangelicki, z czasem jednakże ilość osób wyznania ewangelickiego w mieście się zmniejszała i w końcu, w 1976r. świątynię odkupiono na rzecz parafii rzymskokatolickiej. Obok znajduje się kaplica należąca do parafii ewangelicko-augsburskiej.

A very cold morning (for the UK anyway!) and a major snowfall as shown - schools will not open, the roads will grind to a halt and stores will run out of items within 30 minutes!
Garden paraphernalia corner.
Actually in the covered external area of the Curious Café on Bath Road, Cheltenham.
But did it meaning nothing? I'm not sure whether James M. Brown had a woman or a girl.
Or has Papa got a brand new bag of Zinc Oxide? Sorry!
The corner of James M. Brown Limited Boving Works site situated in Napier Street beside City Road, Fenton. The business started out here in 1926 making Zinc Oxide for the paints industry and have progressed on to Cadmium pigmnets for the plastics and rubber industries.
Sitting in front of the works is an old electricity sub-station, one of the many quirky designs that mark these old buildings out.
