This Italian Renaissance style mansion on W. William St. in Decatur was built for Mueller Co. executive Frank Cruikshank and his wife Leda, the only daughter of company founder Hieronymus Mueller. Completed in 1917 at a cost of $49,000, the 17-room estate was described by the Decatur Herald newspaper at the time as being "Decatur's Finest 1917 Residence, Rich, Spacious, and Comfortable" and gushed the Cruikshank home "unquestionably attains in every way a place as one of the finest private homes in the state."
Decatur native C.J. Aschaurer designed the showplace for the Cruikshank's. The home was considered to be Decatur's first fireproof residence, built with nine inches of concrete and six inches of tile between each floor and four layers of brick in each wall. Sometime after her husband's death, Leda Cruikshank divided the home into three dwellings - a two-story apartment on the east, where she lived until her death in 1951, and two smaller units on the west, one on the first floor and another on the second.
After Mr, Cruikshank's untimely death in 1934 while cleaning a shotgun in the basement of the residence, Leda Cruikshank divided the home into three dwellings - a two-story apartment on the east, where she lived until her passing in 1951, and two smaller units on the west, one on the first floor and another on the second.
The Cruikshank Mansion is an architecturally significant property in the Decatur Historic District, a residential historic district in the Millikin Heights neighborhood of the city that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
Seen in the background to the right of the Cruikshank Mansion is the tower of the fabulous James Millikin House which was shown earlier in this series of Decatur.
Decatur is the seat of Macon County. The city was founded in 1829 and is situated along the Sangamon River and Lake Decatur in central Illinois. Decatur has an economy based on industrial and agricultural commodity processing and production. The city is home of private Millikin University and public Richland Community College.
Decatur's estimated population for 2019 was 70,746, making Decatur the thirteenth-most populous city in Illinois, and the state's sixth-most populous city outside the Chicago metropolitan area.

The Clarksville Architectural District (as listed on the National Register of Historic Places) encompasses several buildings in the major portion of a 2½ square block area of Downtown Clarksville, Tennessee. This area includes a large group of 1870's and 1880's buildings, many of excellent & attractive design, together with a small cluster of mid-19th century buildings near the original center of the city. One of the specific buildings is the Clarksville City Hall, which records indicate originally was a bank building in the 1870's. The present facade, added in 1914, which is out of character with the rest of the district is, none the less, an interesting Romanesque composition anchored by a massive entrance way arch. Four terra-cotta medallions, in the spandrel panels, separate the conventional first floor windows from those on the second story which are each capped by a brick arch. And, Public Square Fountain located just across the street from City Hall building adds to the historical ambiance of the scene in the photograph above as the sun sets in the background.
The Clarksville Architectural District was added to the NRHP on May 13, 1976. All the information above and much more about the rest of the district was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration that can be found here:

Located on the corner of Spring Street and Mott Street not far from its original location at 53 1/3 Spring Street we find the first registered pizza establishment in the world, the first pizzeria was opened in 1905 by Gennuardo Lombardi from Naples, Lombardi’s Pizzeria. Pizza actually traces its origins back Naples, Naples which was founded as a Greek settlement back in 600 BC had grown to become a thriving waterfront city with it throngs of lazaroni (working poor) in the 1700’s. Their meals were simple, flatbreads with various toppings, the precursor of today’s pizza sold mostly by street vendors referred to as pizze or pizza which was the vernacular for pie. There is some controversy even about that as the discovery of Giuseppe Nocca of the Istituto Alberghiero di Formia of formal document ”codex diplomaticus cajtanus” which was written in Latin but gives specific instructions for annual tithes to the archbishops of Gaeta during Easter and Christmas of “duodecim or 12 pizze” way before the use in Naples and Gaeta is about 50 miles north-west of Naples, so documented and time stamped and in those times 50 miles was a quite a distance for poor folk who couldn’t hop a train or bus as there weren’t any and only the wealthy could afford travel by steed.
Well I’m not inserting myself into the pizza controversy between the Napoleons and their brothers from Gaeta, but definitely pizza has become a staple in American diets. It is estimated that annually Americans consume about 13.8 billion slices of pizza, almost 14 billion….wow. Lombardi’s as it exists today interestingly enough does not sell pizza by the slice, is a cash only business though like many cash only businesses in Little Italy and Greenwich Village, there is a convenient ATM on premises, and on any given night, there is quite a wait to get a table, thus in my photo here you see one of many benches where patrons patiently wait to get a pie or pies from the first pizzeria restaurant in World, Lombardi’s in front of the unique mural painted on the brick wall by artist Zito of the Mona Lisa holding a Lombardi’s Margherita Pizza. I’ve seen plenty patrons on hot summer days and cold, snowy winter days waiting on those benches, tourists snapping away pictures. There are several foody ‘Pizza’ tours available in New York City that include a stop a Lombardi’s.
Here’s an interesting fact about Lombardi’s and it’s no slices policy. Lombardi’s original Margherita pizza’s popularity particularly with the many low income Italian immigrant workers in the 1940’s was that he would sell you slices. The difference between today and then is he would provide workers with a slice that was equivalent to what they could afford, the less $$ you had the smaller the slice. It is rumored that John of John’s Pizza on Bleeker Street in the Village, the Grimaldi’s of Brooklyn fame all had some stint at Lombardi’s here in Little Italy to learn the craft thus tying them to Lombardi’s before they went on to open their own respective pizzerias, the thin crusted New York style. Is it good, yes it is, and I will go in the early afternoon sort of between lunch and early dinner when I get the craving to avoid the crowds, I’ll take an extended lunch from the office, hop on a bus-train to Spring Street and usually not wait at all, as long as it’s not Christmas like now or in middle of the summer. Which Pizza Place is the best? I can’t say, I like all I’ve tried of the vintage New York Style and of 13.8 billion annual slices that Americans eat annually, well I’m probably too big a contributor to those statistics. So if you’re in the lower Manhattan early afternoon, give it a try, then walk one block west on Spring Street over to Mulberry Street down south a few blocks get some cannoli’s (Sicilian origin) from the Cannoli King or Ferrara’s around since 1892 (can’t go wrong with either), stop by the Italian American Museum and you’ll get a taste of Italy Americana style.

Ooof! Delaine Buses of Bourne very kindly positioned their brand new ADL Enviro200 MMC 175 AD23DBL for me to snap when I passed their depot today, 01/02/2023. Of course, as this bus has been registered with a 23 mark, it won't be on the road until March 1st. This is their 6th ADL Enviro200 MMC.

In October 1962, facelift models were introduced with a restyled front end and bumper, chrome side mouldings, 14 inch wheels and various interior refinements Morris-badged van and pick-up models also were now offered. From September 1963, the commercial models were fitted with the 1,622 cc (99.0 cu in) engine from the Austin A60 saloon, with the Austin's still marketed under the Austin Half-ton Name. (in fact this example is registered as an A60). They remained in production to 1973

The Gainesboro Historic District is located in the community of Gainesboro in rural central Jackson County, Tennessee. The District is comprised of commercial buildings, two residences, two churches (one seen here currently being used as a museum), a small cemetery, and a county courthouse. Taken together, these components successfully portray the historic appearance of a small Middle Tennessee town that is centered around a courthouse. And, included in this district is this building that was originally the Old First United Methodist Church built in 1890. It later served the Jackson County Sentinel (when the 'ghost' sign above was added), which is the local county newspaper that was established in 1898. And, most recently, it has been referred to as the Fred Lucas Haile, Jr Building that was home to the Jackson County Historical Museum curated by the Jackson County Historical Society. On October 25, 1990, the District and this historical building was added to the National Register of Historic Places. All the information above was gleaned from the original documents submitted to the NRHP for listing consideration. More about the historical district can be read in the documents found here:

The Florida State Capitol in Tallahassee, Florida, is an architecturally and historically significant building listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Capitol is at the intersection of Apalachee Parkway and South Monroe Street in downtown Tallahassee, Florida.
The Historic Capitol, sometimes called "The Old Capitol," built in 1845, was threatened with demolition in the late 1970s when the new capitol building was built. Having been restored to its 1902-version in 1982, the Historic Capitol is directly behind the new Capitol building. Its restored space includes the Governor's Suite, Supreme Court, House of Representatives and Senate chambers, rotunda, and halls. Its adapted space contains a museum exhibiting the state's political history, the Florida Historic Capitol Museum, which is managed by the Florida Legislature. On April 18, 2012, the AIA's Florida Chapter placed the Historic Capitol Building (Restoration) on its list of Florida Architecture: 100 Years. 100 Places.
The New Tower houses executive and legislative offices and the chambers of the Florida Legislature (consisting of the Florida Senate and Florida House of Representatives).
The buildings are universally, though informally, known as the Old Capitol and the New Capitol; the former is sometimes called the Historic Capitol, or also, confusingly, the Florida State Capitol. The latter was its official name prior to the construction of the New Capitol in 1977 and was so called by the National Park Service even after the New Capitol was operating. Its legal name today, however, is the Florida Historic Capitol Museum. The New Capitol, as a whole, does not have a legal name. When it was planned, the Capitol Complex (which is a legal name) was going to consist of the House and Senate chambers, and the twenty-two-story office building.

All four of the GAL-registered Enviro 200 MMCs at Central Connect were repainted into the company’s pleasing, diagonally striped blue livery. Until then they’d been in the red and blue of Central Connect’s previous incarnation down south, before the name was adopted by the wider Vectare/TMS group.
Luckily I spotted all four before they withdrew from operating their East Midlands routes – although if you know where to look it’s still possible to find a Central Connect E200 MMC locally, as they currently still operate one on the 517. I’m not sure if they’re going to rebid for the school routes come next academic year.
Not long ago I did wonder if Central Connect would end up growing to rival the likes of Go Ahead or Arriva in size and national coverage. One day they still might, but so far 2026 has seen them almost disappear from the East Midlands and get into a rather sticky situation in Chelmsford. Plus people don’t seem to rate their operation in East Anglia very highly.
From a personal standpoint, I used the 90 and 93 on several occasions and they were perfectly fine, running reliably and mostly operating to time (the main delays being the incessant A52 road works in Radcliffe, which still go on to this day). However they didn’t seem like routes that could support an operator making payments to buy/lease sub-5 year old Sprinters and E200s.

Bruno Gernt was born in Dresden, Germany, in 1851. He first emigrated to England, but, by the 1870's, he was in Michigan. Gernt helped in provide financing to people buying land in Allardt and recruited emigrants from Germany. He began working with M.H. Allardt, for whom the town was named, but he later joined with Alexander Stephens after Allardt's death. Stephens worked in their Cincinnati office, while Gernt was responsible for the office in the new community of Allardt. The Gernt Office, seen here, was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places under criteria A & B for its local significance in commerce and for its association with Bruno Gernt, who used the office to manage the land sales that were responsible for the development of Allardt. It has continued to be used by family members as a business office for many years. Hugo & Arthur, Bruno's sons, were involved in the lumber industry and were pioneers in the oil industry during the early 1900's. They helped to organize mining interests in the Davidson-Wilder area of Fentress County and operated a store there. Since 1956, the office has been used by the Estate of Bruno Gernt, Inc. to manage their land, timber, and natural resources. The office is one of the few intact commercial buildings in the community and retains a high degree of integrity from its original construction. Two other commercial buildings are located in the Youngs Historic District area of Allardt, but many of the stores or hotels in the town are no longer extant or are in unsound condition. This office building was added to the NRHP on July 3, 1991 and all information above was gleaned from the original documents submitted for listing consideration and can be viewed here:

This heritage registered Saltwater Standpipe is located near the Old Windmill on Wickham Terrace. Brisbane river water was once pumped from North Quay to a reservoir on the corner of Wickham terrace and Leichhardt Street. The reservoir then fed saltwater to Spring Hills Baths, as well as standpipes and hydrants for street watering. An interesting link is below:
