I love the color of this door. The red bricks set it off nicely. Terra is admiring the door as well.
Kronhuset ("the Crown House" in English), formerly known as Giötheborgz Tyghuhs ('Gothenburg's Arsenal'), is a redbrick building in Västra Nordstaden in Göteborg. It was constructed from 1643 to 1654 in a Dutch style, and is Göteborg's joint-oldest secular building along with the Torstenson Palace (constructed 1648-50). The royal architect Simon de la Vallée is believed to have designed the building. The Kronhus was originally used as an arsenal for the city garrison and as a granary to store food reserves so that the city could survive a siege. On December 9, 1927, the ownership of Kronhuset passed from the Swedish state to Göteborg Municipality. It has been a byggnadsminne, a listed building, since October 24, 1968.

Göteborg (often spelled Gothenburg in English) is the capital of Västra Götaland County in the southwest of Sweden. It is the second-largest city in Scandinavian country, following Stockholm, and the fifth-largest in the Nordic countries. Göteborg is situated by the Kattegat on the west coast of Sweden, with a population of approximately 600,000 in the city proper and about 1.1 million inhabitants in the metropolitan area in the 2020s.
King Gustavus Adolphus founded Göteborg by royal charter in 1621 as a heavily fortified, primarily Dutch, trading colony. In addition to the generous privileges given to his Dutch allies during the ongoing Thirty Years' War, he also attracted significant numbers of his German and Scottish allies to populate his only town on the western coast; this trading status was furthered by the founding of the Swedish East India Company. At a key strategic location at the mouth of the Göta älv, where Scandinavia's largest drainage basin enters the sea, the Port of Göteborg is now the largest port in the Nordic countries.

Redbrick Books is a smallish bookstore on Page Boulevard in Springfield, MA. They sell new and used books, with an emphasis on used. They specialize in not specializing, so their stock can have some surprises. Expect the usual romance novels and self-help books, but they also have a lot of children's literature and some interesting coffee-table books. I never walk out empty-handed.
I think the building is probably an old machine shop.
Most of the books in their technical section are a little long in the tooth; expect that in the used-book market.

This redbrick storefront building was used as the Toole County Courthouse from 1914, when Toole County was created from parts of Hill and Teton counties, to 1935, when the current courthouse was built on the hill.

Kentwell - a very different experience: a romantic, completely moated, mellow redbrick Tudor mansion in a tranquil parkland setting - but so much more.
A 30+ years Restoration Project
In 1970 Kentwell stood neglected. No-one was prepared to take it on - except Patrick Phillips. He fell for this wonderful House in its magical setting and was not deterred by its condition. Ever since then he has, with his wife and family, sought to bring Kentwell back to life. Their works have taken part of the House and its 15th Century Service Building back to the 16th Century. Elsewhere changes reflect their own preferences. House, Gardens & Farm have an unrivalled ability to captivate the visitor.
Take a glimpse into both the past and present of this unique House. Enjoy its delightful Gardens. You can do this whenever you come but especially if you visit during one of the award-winning Re-Creations of Tudor or WWII Everyday Life and (recently) Victorian life. Kentwell pioneered Tudor domestic Living History Events in the UK, and nearly 30 years on the Re-Creations are as magical as ever.
In 1897, a retired military man, Major Pawley, acquired the site. He built eight redbrick townhouses at great cost, and the highest of architectural standards. These are the buildings that make up the two Taj hotels today, Taj 51 Buckingham Gate Suites and Residences, and St. James’ Court A Taj Hotel.
London’s royal, cultural, political and social elite favored the location within walking distance of the Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, Downing Street, St James Palace, Westminster Abbey and Westminster Cathedral.
In 1982, the Indian Hotels Company Ltd. (Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces) acquired St. James' Court which was operated as the Taj Crowne Plaza London – St James for many years. The TataGroup converted and refurbished the old Crowne Plaza at 54 Buckingham Gate into the 342-room St. James Court, A Taj Hotel in 2014.
Taj Hotels Resorts andf Palaces is operated by Indian Hotels Company, which is owned by the TATA Group. The TATA Group also owns Jaguar, Land Rover and Tetley Tea. Effective 2021 Mehrnavaz Avari is the UK area director and general manager of the Taj 51 Buckingham Gate Suites and Residences and St James Court hotel in London. Avari was previously deputy general manager of IHCL's Taj Mahal Palace in Mumbai. She graduated with a Masters of Management at Cornell University in New York and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. She succeeds Digvijay Singh is general manager.
