The Pierre Bremond House is one of the 11 houses built between 1859 and 1910 that make up the Bremond Block Historic District. The block was added to National Register of Historic Places in 1970, and is considered one of the few remaining upper-class Victorian neighborhoods of the middle to late nineteenth century in Texas. Six of the eleven houses were built or expanded for members of the families of brothers Eugene and John Bremond, who were prominent in late-nineteenth-century Austin social, merchandising, and banking circles. Of these six residences, all but one were designed and built by the Austin contractor, George Fiegel.
The Pierre Bremond House sits in the center of the 400 block of W. Seventh St. between the John Bremond, Jr. House on its east side, and the Eugene Bremond House, the house of Pierre's father, on its west side. Built in 1898, the two-story, tan brick house was the last Bremond house to be built. It is a subdued late Victorian with a low-pitched hip roof, a double gallery, and an unobtrusive tower on the west side.
While the Pierre Bremond House may be the least ornate of all the houses, Pierre's home was the most spacious. Renovated in 2012, the house is currently owned by the Texas Classroom Teachers Association, who also own the John Bremond, Jr. home next door that serves as the association headquarters.

The Panamanian registered bulk carrier called “Federal Island” sits in the Nanaimo, BC., harbour, waiting to be filled with its next load to be transported to Malaysia. This bulk carrier, 200m in length, floated at anchor in the sun as we passed by on our way to Tsawwassen ferry terminal from Duke Harbour, Nanaimo. Ferry passages between Vancouver Island and the B.C. mainland offer spectacular views of nature and marine vessels.
A nighttime view of the Texas State Capitol in Austin. This photo shows the front entrance, which faces south toward the heart of Austin down Congress Ave. The capitol building was designed by Elijah E. Myers in Italian Renaissance Revival style, and was constructed between 1882 to 1888. At 308 ft. it is taller than the United States Capitol, and is the sixth tallest state capitol building in the United States. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.

The brilliant red Pier 14 Pilot Station in Astoria, Oregon really stands out against the deep blue waters of the Columbia River and the white clouds. It is on the National Register of Historic Places and is home to the Columbia River Bar Pilots, a group of highly experienced pilots who have guided ships for over 170 years. They currently guide approximately 3,600 vessel crossings of the bar each year - from 100-foot tugs to 1,100-foot tankers, bulk carriers, car carriers, log ships, general cargo ships, container ships and passenger ships. The top floor of the building is a vacation rental called the Pilot House.
Thanks to everyone for stopping by to view, fave, and comment!!
100 years old… 1921 GN Salmson Légère, SV 5702, near Eastnor Castle in Herefordshire during the Vintage Minor Register summer rally on 10th September 2021. Following is a Ford Dagenham Belle, JNP 160.
After rain when I woke, then the sun starting to come out, the early afternoon saw some lovely, early spring sunlight on Edinburgh (much needed after so many rainy, grey days), here bathing the dome of West Register House.
Conti Chivalry (previously known as Ever Chivalry) (IMO: 9293791) is a container ship registered and sailing under the flag of Liberia. Her gross tonnage is 90,449, her overall length (loa) is 334 m and her container capacity is 8,084 TEU. She was built in 2006 and is operated by NSB Niederelbe Schiffahtsges of Germany.
I photographed the Conti Chivalry as she passed through the mouth of the Swan River heading into the Fremantle Inner Harbour on 30 April 2021. Her last port of call was Adelaide and her next port of call is Singapore. She was assisted by four tugs, Svitzer Albatross and Svitzer Eagle Svitzer Falcon and Svitzer Redhead most likely due to both her size and the tide. I did notice one of the tugs was working hard to keep her speed down.
