Historic Central Falls City Hall in Providence County, Rhode Island. The Queen Anne style building was built as the Lincoln High School in 1889 when Central Falls was a part of the town of Lincoln, and was the first school constructed by the town solely for secondary education. The building served as Central Falls High School until 1927 when the City offices were moved there.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places 1991 in as part of the South Central Falls Historic District (NRHP District #91000025).
The Breakers was built as the Newport summer home of Cornelius Vanderbilt II, a member of the wealthy United States Vanderbilt family. Designed by renowned architect Richard Morris Hunt and with interior decoration by Jules Allard and Sons and Ogden Codman, Jr., the 70-room mansion boasts approximately 65,000 sq ft (6,000 m2). of living space. The home was constructed between 1893 and 1895 at a cost of more than seven million dollars (approximately $150 million in today's dollars adjusted for inflation). The Ochre Point Avenue entrance is marked by sculpted iron gates and 30-foot (9.1 m) high walkway gates are part of a twelve-foot-high limestone and iron fence that borders the property on all but the ocean side. The 150' x 120' dimensions of the five-story mansion are aligned symmetrically around a central Great Hall.
This is a photograph from the Edenderry Athletic Club "Frank Kilrane Cup" 10 Mile Road Race and Fun Run which was held in Edenderry, Co. Offaly, Ireland on Sunday 21st of July 2019 at 09:30. The race also features the Offaly AAI 10 Mile Road championships. As it is a county championship race the first man and woman from the county of Offaly will be presented with the Frank Kilrane perpetual Cup. Irish timing company Popup Races provided electronic timing and event management for the race. The full set of photographs from the race is available at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157709780082156
The early editions of the race were held during the Easter period so this is the second time that the race has been held during the Summer months. Overall, the route is a fair and testing course with the exception of a few rolling hills, in places. This year also featured a new start and finish to the race. This year's race started out side the historic and well preserved Town Hall built by Lord Downshire in 1829, which is subsequent years has been used as Civic Offices of Offaly County Council. The race finished in the Downshire Area of the Town where the Dunnes Shopping Center is located. From the town heads westward towards Rhode. A few KM outside of road the race turns southwards into the townlands of Thomastown, Sallymount, Rogerstown and Monasteroris. The race crosses the Grand Canal at Trimblestown Bridge, which is a steep canal bridge, carrying traffic over the Grand Canal between Kilbeggan and Edenderry. The course turns eastwards again and returns back to Edenderry where the course at around 9 miles meets the course at 1.5 miles mark. Another crossing of the Grand Canal sees the race cross Cartland Bridge before the 9 mile mark. The race finishes in the Carrick Road side of the Dunnes Stores. The weather was clear and bright but rather warm with air temperatures close to 15C with the feeling of high humidity. This made it a bit difficult for runners. However, there was a significant breeze in places which did serve to keep runners cooled down. Overall, this was a well organised raced (part of the KIA series) with a record entry of over 400 participants taking part and finishing the race. This year a relay option (5 mile legs) was introduced.
Edenderry is a town with a population of around 10,000. The town is a busy one given that it provides a focal point for a large rural population around it. The town experienced growth in the 50s and 60s powered by the presence of Board na Mona and the ESB utilising the vast peat production areas around the town. The town is positioned between some of the larger provincial towns in this part of Leinster: Naas, Tullamore and Mullingar. However, Edenderry retains a rural Irish countryside charm.

I ran the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set!
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information below.
If you want to contribute something for these images?
We do not charge for these images. We take these photographs as our contribution to the running community in Ireland. If you feel that they are good enough that you would ordinarily pay for their purchase we would suggest that you can provide a donation to any of the great charities in Ireland who do work for Cancer Care or Cancer Research in Ireland.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
