Taken at the 2014 Armory Show. The panels on this art piece could be moved to make your own Mondrian-like art. I wonder if Piet Mondrian is annoyed that most people now equate his ideas with the L'Oreal brand.

The Elms Historic District is locally significant under Criterion A in the areas of entertainment/recreation and health/medicine. It is also significant under Criterion C in the area of architecture. The district and many of its resources were built as a result of the health industry that grew around the numerous mineral waters found in Excelsior Springs, and are thus significant under health/medicine. The health industry was the basis for the town's founding and its economy for nearly a century, earning Excelsior Springs its moniker as -Missouri's National Health Resort.- In the area of entertainment/recreation, several buildings were constructed to accommodate a new class of tourists. The large Elms Hotel complex was developed to attract not only health-seekers, but also tourists seeking leisure or recreational pursuits. While the large hotel building was previously listed on the National Register in the areas of architecture and commerce (3/29/85), the grounds and outbuildings were not included in that nomination, and the entire complex's association with entertainment/recreation was not fully developed. In addition to the Elms Hotel, several boarding houses were built in the district accommodating those who could not afford the first class Elms Hotel. Significance in architecture is represented by a number of examples of Early Twentieth Century Revival and American Movement styles, as well and folk house forms that reflect veniacular residential architecture in the United States. There are also several representatives of the ""boarding house/apartment"" property type as defmed in the MPDF. Finally, there are well crafted examples of Early Twentieth Century Revival styles that were designed by prominent local and regional architects: John 0. Bradley, Jackson & Mcilvain, and George M. Siemens. The district as a whole retains integrity for eligibility under the registration requirements established in the MPDF, while a few buildings possess integrity and significance in architecture for individual listing.

The River Road - Mead A venue Historic District is of local historic significance because it comprises what is traditionally considered the most prestigious neighborhood in the village of Cos Cob and one of the best examples of a pre-World War I, uppermiddle-class neighborhood in the Town of Greenwich as a whole (Criterion A). It is architecturally significant primarily because of its nineteenth-century dwellings, including notable examples of the Greek Revival, Italianate, and Second Empire styles, as well as three carriage houses that have been remodeled into dwellings. The district's early twentieth-century houses include notable examples of the Colonial Revival and Shingle styles (Criterion C).

The site is now in the care of the English Heritage charity, as both a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
Medieval History
The original castle was built by the Peverel family in the 12th century and became Crown property in 1155 when William Peverel the Younger died. The Ferrers family who were Earls of Derby laid claim to the Peveril property.
When a group of barons led by King Henry II's sons – Henry the Young King, Geoffrey Duke of Brittany, and Prince Richard, later Richard the Lionheart – revolted against the king's rule, Henry spent £116 on building at the castles of Bolsover and Peveril in Derbyshire. The garrison was increased to a force led by 20 knights and was shared with the castles of Peveril and Nottingham during the revolt. King John ascended the throne in 1199 after his brother Richard's death. William de Ferrers maintained the claim of the Earls of Derby to the Peveril estates. He paid John 2000 marks for the lordship of the Peak, but the Crown retained possession of Bolsover and Peveril Castles. John finally gave them to Ferrers in 1216 to secure his support in the face of country-wide rebellion. However, the castellan Brian de Lisle refused to hand them over. Although Lisle and Ferrers were both John's supporters, John gave Ferrers permission to use force to take the castles. The situation was still chaotic when Henry III became king after his father's death in 1216. Bolsover fell to Ferrers' forces in 1217 after a siege.
The castle was returned to crown control in 1223, at which point £33 was spent on repairing the damage the Earl of Derby had caused when capturing the castle six years earlier. Over the next 20 years, four towers were added, the keep was repaired, various parts of the curtain wall were repaired, and a kitchen and barn were built, all at a cost of £181. From 1290 onward, the castle and its surrounding manor were granted to a series of local farmers. Under their custodianship, the castle gradually fell into a state of disrepair.
Post-medieval
Bolsover castle was granted to George Talbot, 6th Earl of Shrewsbury, by King Edward VI in 1553. Following Shrewsbury’s death in 1590, his son Gilbert, 7th Earl of Shrewsbury, sold the ruins of Bolsover Castle to his step-brother and brother-in-law Sir Charles Cavendish, who wanted to build a new castle on the site. Working with the famous builder and designer Robert Smythson, Cavendish’s castle was designed for elegant living rather than defence, and was unfinished at the time of the two men’s deaths, in 1614 and 1617 respectively. Accounts survive for building the early stages of the "Little Castle." Unusually for this period female labour was recorded, and the women's names or husband's names are given.
The building of the castle was continued by Cavendish’s two sons, William and John, who were influenced by the Italian-inspired work of the architect Inigo Jones. The tower, known today as the 'Little Castle', was completed around 1621. Construction was interrupted by the Civil Wars of 1642 to 1651, during which the castle was taken by the Parliamentarians, who slighted it, when it fell into a ruinous state. William Cavendish, who was created Marquess of Newcastle in 1643 and Duke of Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1665, added a new hall and staterooms to the Terrace Range, and by the time of his death in 1676 the castle had been restored to good order. The main usage of the building extended over twenty years, and it is presumed that the family lived at the castle towards the end of that period. It then passed through Margaret Bentinck, Duchess of Portland into the Bentinck family, and ultimately became one of the seats of the Earls and Dukes of Portland. After 1883, the castle was uninhabited, and in 1945 it was given to the nation by the 7th Duke of Portland. The castle is now in the care of English Heritage.
Bolsover Castle is a Scheduled Ancient Monument a "nationally important" historic building and archaeological site which has been given protection against unauthorised change. It is also a Grade I listed building (first listed in 1985) and recognised as an internationally important structure.
