A view of the north side of the Winchester's Square on E. Market St. looking east from S. Main St. Note how the old bank on the corner has been repurposed as Winchester's City Hall. One block away, on the northeast corner of E. Market and S. Hill St., stands the eclectic Scott County Courthouse that was completed in 1885.
The commercial buildings in this block date from the mid-to-late 19th century. As the seat of Scott County, Winchester is an excellent example of the small, rural Illinois county seat built on the town square plan as it developed during the third quarter of the 19th century. All of the attributes are present: the square itself, enclosed by commercial buildings and an imposing courthouse; fine residences and churches; an almost complete lack of industry; and, quite important in preserving the aura, no major highways.
The flavor of Winchester is that of a peaceful rural county seat that established itself early - most of the city's prominent buildings were built before 1870 - and has changed very little over the years. All of the buildings shown in this photo of the north side of Winchester's square are contributing properties within the Winchester Historic District listed in 1979 on the National Register of Historic Places. The district includes 438 buildings, of which 273 are contributing.
Located in West Central Illinois, the city is part of the Jacksonville Micropolitan Statistical Area. The estimated population of Winchester in 2019 was 1,467. Scott County was the last of Illinois' 102 counties to report its first COVID-19 case and, as of June 2021, only one soul has been lost to the pandemic here.
Gartelmann Liqueur Muscat bottle now holds bird feathers I've found ... seems appropriate with the Magpie picture.

This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Repurposed. This was an old Orbit gas station from the space age days, now it's Suzie Burger! Maybe some of their Disco Tots for breakfast would be good. I wonder if fried Cheese Whiz is on the secret menu.
HMMM!

HLCoF everyone!
Previously the jar contained my homemade jam. The label is homemade, too. It is my photo of the view from our house at Rocky Butte. Mt Hood is obscured by the coin.
Once a workmen's hut for Dubs Quarry at the top of the Honister Pass, the Dubs Hut was renovated in 2016-17 by the Mountain Bothies Association (MBA). www.mountainbothies.org.uk/
The purpose of the MBA is "To maintain simple shelters in remote country for the use of all who love wild and lonely places." And this is most definitely one such place.
The deep cleft beyond the hut is the path down to Gatesgarth and the southern end of Buttermere Lake.
This is the remains of a tree that was felled in my local park, as a result of disease. These sections were left where they were felled and have become a feature, where families gather in the Summer and children climb. There is so much character in this solid timber that must be many years old.

May 2022: "The Washington State legislature has unanimously approved funding in the 2022-23 budget to identify options for the transformation of the Weyerhaeuser Campus in Federal Way WA into a public innovation and education resource center. The former headquarters, now called Woodbridge Corporate Park, would become a dedicated space for learning, workforce training and economic development to support the south Puget Sound region.
The iconic 340,000-square-foot building was built in 1971 and occupied by more than 1,000 employees, but was abandoned by Weyerhaeuser in 2016 for a new facility in downtown Seattle. The property was sold to Industrial Realty Group, which has worked to preserve the architecturally significant campus.
“This project is a huge and historic investment that will reimagine our local workforce, economy and community and provide valuable opportunities for youth,” said Sen. Claire Wilson in a news release. “I’m thrilled to see this collaborative, transformative project funded in our budget and passed with bipartisan support to help our community flourish.” (www.connectcre.com/stories/washington-state-plans-to-repu...)
Repurposing your children's toys is a is a nice way to keep their memories close, and spiff up the old property a bit.
Happy Slider's Sunday.

CS-TOP, an Airbus A330-202, on approach to runway 24R at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario. "PEDRO NUNES" was arriving as TAP9187 (Transportes Aereos Portugueses, S.A., operating as TAP Air Portugal) from Lisbon, Portugal.
This aircraft was reconfigured as a dedicated freighter in December 2020 and now wears "AIR CARGO" titles. This flight's payload was reportedly COVID-19 vaccines.
Hiding away from the eyes of the general public, this neat little critter spends her retirement days shuffling cars around within the confines of Charter Steel in Saukville, Wisconsin in a mostly intact coat of WC maroon and gold paint with it’s WC road number. The CN owns the Mill-Saukville portion of this line specifically to serve Charter Steel with a local based in Germantown, while the WSOR owns everything north up to Kiel and west to Ackerville with a local based in Granville. A quick picture search indicates that the retrofitted safety railings along the top of the hood were installed within the last couple of years. They’re not pretty, but at least the paint matches.
A view of one of the shop tracks at Baltimore & Ohio’s Glenwood Yard reveals Chesapeake & Ohio 8504, the hulk of an F7B used to transport prime movers. Also on the same track are a B&O gondola, and the frame of B&O crane X48.
Our coal-powered electrical generating plant will soon be replaced by one that is solar powered. Here's my tongue-in-cheek suggestion for how the old plant could be used.

The old mill at Ebridge North Norfolk, long fallen into disuse, has been refurbished and converted into private dwellings.
A cold and tranquil sunrise.
