Old Vienna Gardens was built in in 1928 by August Furst, who moved to the area from Nuremburg, Germany. Completed in 1937, the restaurant (now known as Villa Terraza) incorporates stone work in the Tudor style structure and the wall that surrounds the property.

Wells Fargo building; settled in 1877, Bayhorse grew to have a population of around 300. Gold and silver mining were active in the area. Mining ceased in 1925 and the town became a ghost town. It is now part of Yankee Fork State Park.

Built in 1902 this old stone built loft is located in the area of The Glen of Imaal in the Wicklow Mountains.
If only I knew what this, my very favorite building in town, used to be. It’s made of what looks like fieldstone. And has an overgrowth of vines. And it’s totally caving in - roof first. If anyone has any idea what this used to be - please tell me! All I’ve been able to find is a photo from the centennial celebration that had posters up on this building of a telephone operation so maybe that’s it.
Here’s a little peak through the breaking boards on the back of the building. Not in great shape.
So, since I don’t know for sure what this was, let me tell you what I do know about the town! First, it was founded in 1912. So, much later than a lot of other North Dakota hamlets.
The little website for Regan had a very nice history section! Thank you to whoever put that up. Here’s some history from the site:
“Regan owes its beginnings to the coming of the railroad. Before the Northern Pacific started regular runs in1912, the town site was just an empty spot on the prairie.
The first building, Tolchinsky’s cream station, quartered in a small shack, stood alone on the site for a time. Early settlers recall selling their cream there and then driving their teams to Canfield for groceries.
The village was named for J. Austin Regan, a Fessenden businessman who was also an official of the Dakota Land and Townsite Co. which platted the town on Section 35 of Estherville Township in 1910.”
“By December, 1912, the Wilton News reported that the following buildings had been completed and were occupied: two general stores, a hotel, a butcher shop, a land office, a drug store, two banks, a livery and feed stable, a blacksmith shop, a pool room, a lumber yard, two elevators, and a dozen residences. That same month, mail service to Regan was established on the railroad, bringing about the discontinuance of the Wilton- Canfield rural route that had first served the town.
The erection of the Farmers Union Hall in 1914 offered a place for gatherings important in the social life of the community. Construction was also begun on a new school building.”

Farming is a pretty hard life but I think sheep farming in the high country during winter would be extra tough.

Another beautiful, out of this world building, which in my opinion it wasn’t built by our clueless species
Germany
The Panama Canal has nothing on Hamburg’s port.; it’s an international metropolis second to Amsterdam in Europe. Hamburg is clean, bicycle friendly and chic. Our urban adventure was balanced with the suburban community of Geesthacht, where we shared time with friends we met in Costa Rica.
Like most countries, Germany has regional differences influenced by politics and geography. For example, schnitzel is a southern dish and Mornin Mornin is the popular “good morning” greeting for northerners.
France
In France, knowing how to pair your frommage or cheese with wine is as crucial as food and wine pairing. Our Parisian friend Remi says wine, cheese and bread are all the sustenance needed. And please don’t commit the faux pas of smearing cheese on top of your pate. How gauche.
Our 10 days in France were mostly split between Emilie’s family village, Ameugny in Burgundy and Collette’s university city of Grenoble.
Ameugny is a cyclist’s paradise so much so that in the Tour De France rode through the area in 2019. The country roads are nearly indistinguishable from the 150+ kilometers of bike paths.
In short, fortified château’s, 1000 year old stone villages, sculpted hedge fences, and rolling hills best describe Burgundy’s countryside. Here, being lost is part of the adventure. especially knowing the next village is less than 5 kilometers or so.
France’s history is colored with conquests between religious demigods and ruling monarchs de jour all vying for power. For example, Grenoble was a major stronghold against the Nazi’s and its people gave birth to what became known as the French Resistance. Here, they established armies from the mountain villages and sheltered thousands of Jews by falsifying documents.
Grenoble takes pride as one of the greenest cities in Europe with an efficient mass transit system. Here the 65k students ride for free. Surrounded by the French Alps, the cities 1/2 million inhabitants have access to world class skiing and other sports throughout the year.

I’m always on the lookout for pressed tin in or on any abandoned thing so the back of the field stone building didn’t disappoint!

April 22, 2022 - Groot Vleeshuis (Great Butcher's Hall)
"The Groot Vleeshuis (Great Butcher's Hall) is a former covered market and guildhall. Back in the late Middle Ages, there was another Groot Vleeshuis in Ghent, on the Vismarkt (now Groentenmarkt). The first mention of it in the city documents appears in 1332-1333.
The old butcher's house, made of wood, was much smaller than the current building. Around 1407 it grew increasingly dilapidated and the butchers left it for a new, larger one. Between 1446 and 1448, a chapel with a meeting room was built in the southwestern corner. Also, to ensure a steady supply of fish, four canals had been made underneath the building to enable flat fishing boats to reach the Vismarkt directly from the Lys River. The vaults of these passages are still seen on the side of the river.
In 1543, 16 tripe houses (shops) were added, in which viscera, intestinal fat and other remains of slaughtered animals, in addition to poultry, were sold – previously not allowed inside the Hall. By the end of the 19th century, the Groot Vleeshuis became vacant following the construction of a new meat house next to the Vismijn on Sint-Veerleplein.
In the run-up to the 1913 World's Fair, a decision was taken to restore the Groot Vleeshuis along with the tripe houses to their pre-1744 condition. The renewed Hall, designed by architect Van Hamme, received additional uses as a market for fruit and vegetables, the Post and Telegraph office, a parking garage and a partial fish trade.
The unique building, protected as a monument since 1943, underwent overhaul in the late 1990s. Today it houses a promotion center for East Flemish regional products. Here you will find many Belgian specialties, like chocolates, beer and other tasty delights, not to mention a variety of local souvenirs."

I saw the images of this place on an illustration while I was visiting the Corn Exchange. At the beginning I thought it wasn’t real but after a fast investigation I realized it was actually a few block away from the Corn. This image is inspired by the illustration I saw which of course was way better than my picture. I regretted I didn’t buy the that poster.
Built in 1911 by Arthur Benton for Lieutenant Governor Albert Joseph Wallace, this La Canada residence has had quite a colorful history. This Los Angeles Times article gives a nice history of the castle, including the curious story behind its being painted pink. (hence its nickname)

01-19-09 This granite building which stands at the intersection of Bridge St and Main St in Willimantic Ct is the former Smithville Company storehouse; the only remaining building from the Smithville Mills complex in the western part of the city.
Sadly demolished, the Smithville cotton mills were located in the western section of the city and, along with the Windham Manufacturing Company, were responsible for attracting a large number of Irish immigrants during the 1840s. The Company was organized in 1828. The mills were demolished in 1939. Source
