Possibly the guardhouse, which is one of three intact buildings at the fort site. Fort Phantom Hill was a mid-19th Century Army outpost north of Abilene, Texas. The fort was established in 1851 to protect settlers from Native American attacks in the area. The fort was used by the U.S. and Confederate armies and also served as a way station for the Butterfield Stagecoach. A few outbuildings, chimneys and stone foundations remain of the long-abandoned fort.
It is now the Tecumseh Historical Society Museum. On the National Historic Register, and located on M 50

Arunachala is a holy hill in Thiruvannamali in Tamil Nadu. For many years Sri Ramana Maharshi lived in a cave on Arunachala. The Sri Ramana Ashram is located at the foot of the hill. This building is on the path you take to come down the hill.
We are lucky in that the bad graffiti artists have not scarred the older stone and brick buildings in Guelph. In fact most alleys are rather neat and well maintained!

William would die in the winter of 1909 several monthe before the birth of his son.
The Battle Creek Sanitarium would continue to grow into a health spa serving the rich and famous .....and the less fortunate. It would play a major role in the Darby girls lives
as they grew up in Battle Creek. note this is The old Stone building which predated the huge san buildings which later became Percy Jones Army Hospital.
Side of The Old Train House and part of its garden, in the village of Ballyhooly (northeastern County Cork, in southwestern Ireland), on a clear evening in mid-May 2011.
This 19th-century limestone building in North Cork originally served the Great Southern & Western Railway line. It has been restored and re-purposed as a bed-and-breakfast home, complete with a large, modern plate glass window for guests to look through at breakfast.

A person dressed in white protective clothing and blue gloves leans out of an open window to clean the exterior frame. They use a long-handled tool to reach the edges of the stone building. This meticulous maintenance task takes place against the backdrop of a historic masonry facade.
I found this in Algonquin park in Newburgh one day when I was smoking some weed. I have no idea who Miss Spade is, but for some reason i took a photo of this. The building was constructed by George Washington's army in the revolutionary war around 1775 or so. There are dozens of these stone structures scattered around the park, many of them scribbled over with graffiti. What can i say? This is Newburgh we're talking about.

Saw this building on the way to Mt. Magazine last week and I thought I should get back there to shoot it. It's a beautiful building. Unfortunately, you can't shoot it from across the street due to trees and power lines so I had to go fisheye.
From their home page:
The cornerstone was laid in 1902. Stone for the new church was hauled by parishioners from a local quarry in horse-drawn wagons. John Freeze was the stone mason who supervised the men of the parish in setting the stone around the wooden church. When the stonework was completed the wood was removed through the doors and windows of the church.
On June 12, 1904, Sacred Heart Parish with great pride and joy celebrated its 25th anniversary and the dedication of the new church of native stone.
8.Crain Communications Building is a 39-story, 582 foot (177 m) skyscraper located at 150 North Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago, Illinois.[1] It was also known as the Smurfit–StoneBuilding and the Stone Container Building and was formerly called the Associates Center.[2] Construction began in 1983 and was completed in 1984. The building, noted for its unusually slanted facade, was designed by Sheldon Schlegman of A. Epstein and Sons. The building has 39 floors of tenant space and the two spires at the top cover the main roof and HVACequipment. Although the building looks as though it is split down the middle, the two sides are only slightly disjointed until nearing the top, where there is a gap between them. At times, its slanted roof—which has been likened to a skyscraper slashed with a knife—displays local sports slogans on its face, such as "GO BEARS" and "GO SOX".[3][4] It also displayed "VOTE 2008" during the 2008 election day rally at Grant Park.[3]At the time of its construction the Crain Communications Building was considered to be a smart building, with sophisticated environmental and security controls. Three years after its completion, the building played a role in the Touchstone Pictures film Adventures in Babysitting. The building is also modeled in EA's SimCity 4, as well as being destroyed in the film Transformers: Dark of the Moon and in the videogame Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2. The building name was changed to the Crain Communications Building in March 2012, after Crain Communications moved its headquarters there.[5] It is popularly referred to as the Diamond Building or the Vagina Building (from the locally popular but apocryphal story that, with its prominent vertical slit up the front, the building was designed to be a yonic counter to the phallicism of most skyscrapers)
The homestead is on an historic site on the York-Williams Rd. Staunton Springs were named by J.S. Roe in the 1840s in honour of a member of his party, Sergeant John Staunton, during a survey of the route.
The Homestead is an old fashioned stone house, which incorporated materials from an earlier police station at the spring and includes one storeroom originally built for a police groom.
David Grainger took up the property and built the first part of the house between 1851 and 1856

Benicia Arsenal Camel Barns
Buildings 7 and 9 were built in 1853 and 1854 and cost $10,000 and $12,000.
The Engine House between them was completed in 1855, it is now used as an office for the Benicia Historical Society.
These finely crafted sandstone Buildings were originally constructed for use as Warehouses. They gained their name and fame, however, during a brief period in 1863-64 when they were to stable a herd of camels imported by the U.S. Army for transportation in the American desert.
The Benicia Arsenal was a large military reservation located next to Suisun Bay in Benicia, California. For over 100 years, the arsenal was the primary US Army Ordnance facility for the West Coast of the United States.
In 1847 a 252-acre parcel of land adjoining the Benicia city limits on the east was acquired for a military reserve. First occupation of the post was on April 9, 1849, when two companies of the 2nd Infantry Regiment set up camp to establish Benicia Barracks, which also housed the 3rd Artillery Regiment . In 1851, after the urging of General Percifer F. Smith, the first Ordnance Supply Depot in the West was established in Benicia. In 1852 it was designated Benicia Arsenal. Notable military personnel who were stationed there during this time include Ulysses Grant, Edward Ord, and Joseph Hooker, among others.
The grounds of the Benicia Arsenal are also famous for stabling the Army's one and only Camel Corps. The short-lived Camel Corps was disbanded in 1863, but the Camel Barns, built in 1855, remain and are now the Benicia Historical Museum.
The Benicia Arsenal was a staging area during the Civil War for Union troops from the West, and the installation remained a garrisoned post until 1898 when troops were assigned to duty in the Philippines during the Spanish-American War. During World War I, Benicia Arsenal gave ordnance support to all large Army installations in the Western States as well as supplying Ordnance material to American expeditionary forces in Siberia.
In the 24 hours following the Pearl Harbor bombing, 125 separate truck convoys were loaded and dispatched from the Benicia Arsenal, leaving its stock of ammunition, small arms and high explosives completely exhausted. Throughout the war, the arsenal supplied ports with weapons, artillery, parts, supplies and tools. In addition, the arsenal overhauled 14,343 pairs of binoculars, manufactured 180,000 small items for tanks and weapons and repaired approximately 70,000 watches. However, the arsenal is most famous for supplying munitions to Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Doolittle for the first bombing raid on Tokyo on April 18, 1942, launched from the USS Hornet.
Prior to 1940, the arsenal employed 85 civilian employees; by October 1942, the payroll had reached 4,545. The labor shortage in 1944 forced the arsenal commander to put 250 Italian and 400 German prisoners of war to work, alongside 150 juveniles from the California Youth Authority. Women comprised nearly half the civilian employee force. During the Korean War, the number of civilians reached an all-time high of 6,700 workers..
Benicia Arsenal was deactivated in 1963 and the facility was closed in 1964. Its functions were transferred to Tooele Army Depot in Utah. The arsenal has been redeveloped as work and sales space for artists and artisans.
