Title: Villa la Magia
Other title: Villa la Magia (Quarrata, Italy)
Creator: Buontalenti, Bernardo, 1536-1608
Creator role: Architect
Date: 16th-18th century
Current location: Quarrata, Pistoia, Tuscany, Italy
Description of work: This villa, formerly the fortified residence of the Panciatichi family, was bought by the grand-duke Francesco (de'Medici) in 1581, who commissioned Buontalenti to carry out rebuilding work. The property later passed into the hands of the Attavanti family, then to the Ricasoli and finally to the Amati-Cellesi Counts, the current owners. The villa's late-Renaissance features - a solid square building from which two corner towers protrude - are perfectly preserved. The facades, pierced by a regular series of windows with stone surrounds, recall the linear simplicity found on other designs by Buontalenti. The entrance to the park, which is full of oaks, Himalayan cedars, holm-oaks, plane trees, ginkgo biloba and black walnut trees, is through a gate with a masonrywork exedra adorned with pedimented columns. On the southern side of the villa is a Baroque-style garden, furnished with 17th-century works. Another attractive feature is the lake, added at a later stage both for ornamentation and for water storage purposes.

Fossiliferous limestone from the Devonian of Ohio, USA.
The Ohio Statehouse is located at Capitol Square in downtown Columbus, Ohio. It houses the traditional office and meeting spaces for the state government. Much of the building is constructed of local bedrock building stone - fossiliferous limestones of the Columbus Limestone (Middle Devonian), derived from a quarry adjacent to the Scioto River, west of downtown Columbus.
----------------------------
From Ohio Historical Society signage:
The State House
built 1838-1861
A total of 15 commissioners, seven architect, and numberless artisans built this Grecian Doric State House of local limestone and brick from Indian mound clay at a cost of $1,359,121. Experts today marvel that so many diverse personalities could have produced what is nationally recognized as a "pure" and noble structure.
A cornerstone was laid July 4, 1839, in the "northeast angle of the foundation . . . . " although there is no visual evidence of its existence.
Actual construction progressed during 15 of the 22 years required to complete the building. Political differences, a cholera epidemic, and labor difficulties caused delays. The legislature occupied the unfinished building on January 5, 1857.
This monumental structure, majestic in its simplicity, is truly an historic symbol of democratic government by free men.

Stratigraphy: Columbus Limestone, Middle Devonian
Provenance: Sullivant Quarry (also known as the State Quarry), southwestern side of the Scioto River, west of downtown Columbus, Ohio, USA (vicinity of 39° 57' 59.64" North latitude; 83° 03' 25.84" West longitude)
Locality: building stone (stairsteps & walls) in the Ohio Statehouse, Capitol Square, downtown Columbus, Ohio, USA

Custom buildings are not the easiest structures to build for a relative novice like myself. I originally was going to use Walthers' Modulars Kits for this project, but W.K. Walthers discontinued them. Therefore, I used DPM kits instead. The annex is a Pola Pickle Factory kit.
East end of the K Tech facility in Ashley IN. to the right is another rail customer coming on line. it will bring in liquid fertilizer (nitrogen)
Defensive architecture in Portland. Just big enough to wait for a bus. Not big enough to relax or sleep on.
You can find a plenty of such structures along side the tracks and roads criss-crossing Punjab. These were most probably constructed in pre-independence era, some of them even in Mughal times.

Not sure what this shelter was built for but it seems close to the edge of this small lake!!! Perhaps it was for a boat???
The city of San Francisco sponsors a program to close various streets in the city on Sundays, to encourage people to get out and walk, bike, skateboard, and enjoy the urban scene.
This past Sunday Third Street was partially closed. Walking 1 block to the East revealed some views of the industrialized waterfront.
