The Grange is truly one of the greatest manor houses ever built in Australia. It was constructed in 1847 for the newly appointed doctor at Campbell Town, William Valentine (1808-1876). Built in a Rustic Gothic style it stands at the rear of the town square and reminds us what an extraordinary sight it must have been to the early Van Diemen's Land colonialists.
Dr Valentine was an outstanding surgeon and naturalist, and this house soon became a mecca for people who shared the same interests. His microscope from 1831 (regarded then as the finest in the colony) is now on display at the Tasmanian Museum in Hobart. This article tells you the story of the microscope and something about Dr Valentine's great influence on 19th century science in the colony. www.abc.net.au/local/photos/2013/01/25/3676888.htm
As you can see from the green oval plaque, this building is registered with the National Trust.
The Charter Oak Schoolhouse is a historic redbrick octagonal-shaped one-room schoolhouse in Schuline, Illinois, on the Evansville/Schuline Road between Schuline and Walsh. Built in 1873, it is one of 53 octagonal schoolhouses built in the United States, and is the only octagonal school built in Illinois. Only three of these octagonal schoolhouses are still standing.
The Charter Oak Schoolhouse was the third public school built at its location. The first school building was a simple log structure built in 1848. The second school building, a frame structure constructed in 1863, was destroyed by a tornado, necessitating the construction of a new building. Contractor William H. Holcomb constructed the third building at a cost of $1000. The school's teacher, Daniel Bishop Ling, proposed the construction of an octagonal building, which he believed would allow more light into the classroom and be more likely to survive severe winds. In addition to classes, the school building also hosted local meetings, competitions, and political events during its tenure as a school.
The building's foundation is made of locally quarried limestone, while the building's walls were built with red brick. A louvered belfry, which may not have been added until 1883, tops the building's low-sloping roof. Courses of corbelled brick along the roof line form the building's cornice. The vestibule at the school's entrance is sided with clapboard and rests on a concrete foundation.
Charter Oak schoolhouse closed in 1953, as did all other one-room schoolhouses in the area with the opening of a new and larger school. The Randolph County Historical Society purchased the building in 1960, and subsequently restored and converted it to an interpretive center of the history of the one-room schoolhouse. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
A scene at the Jama Masjid of Old Delhi on a Fridays people gathered to await the call to mid-day prays. Delhi's thick smog gave a yellow hue to the redbrick mosque.
After photographing the dome interior of Tokyo Station, we went up to the rooftop of Kitte building standing right next to the station to take a picture at the blue hour.
The red-brick building is a historic architecture which had received little damage from the Great Kanto Erthquake in 1923 and survived the Tokyo air raids during World War II, before reconstruction work on the building began in 2007.
The Passion of engineers restored the domes and brought the interior back to the way they looked when the station was originally built. Structural reinforcement was also completed, installing an innovative underground seismic isolation system for reducing the damage by possible earthquakes.
Surrounded by modern skyscrapers, this imposing building has regal dignity in the heart of Tokyo.
Once the hub of the British Empire’s lace industry, the City Centre’s Lace Market features Victorian redbrick warehouses reborn as fashion boutiques, gastropubs, and creative agencies. The National Justice Museum displays Oscar Wilde’s cell door, and visitors can explore a maze of sandstone caverns at the City of Caves. In a cool, minimalist space, Nottingham Contemporary has provocative art shows and a trendy cafe.

The Speicherstadt in Hamburg, Germany is the largest warehouse district in the world where the buildings stand on timber-pile foundations, oak logs, in this particular case. It is located in the port of Hamburg—within the HafenCity quarter—and was built from 1883 to 1927.
The district was built as a free zone to transfer goods without paying customs. As of 2009 the district and the surrounding area is under redevelopment. As the first site in Hamburg, it has been awarded the status of UNESCO World Heritage Site on 5 July 2015.
This was another capture from last weeks Melbourne shoot taken from underneath one of our railway bridges.
I loved the repetition of the lights and the arches and then this red Vespa drove through!

The first turrets were lookouts attached to castle walls. Today, they serve more as decorative flourishes, so it's important to match their style to that of the rest of the house. 81

The grand Harrods store, more than a century old, in London stands tall looking glorious and elite. Each alphabet of its name written in bold on this historic building with ostentatious lights oozing of its pompous style. A must visit for all people visiting London especially the Shopaholics.

Usually I try to take shots of architecture without people, but this nice grandpa adds a good mood to this maybe a bit pathos palace
Please do not invite my photos to private groups if you do not invite me as a group member - I have a right to see a group pool where my photos appear - not nice to use my photos for the Group promotion but to hide your content from me. Thanks for understanding.
