This is the first of two images.
It looks to me like a foamy egg deposit made over an existing structure, similar to the one in next image.
Here's a possiblity:
"While it may seem unusual to see eggs deposited on top of a cocoon, this is how some tussock moths lay their eggs."

"If, while you are searching, you happen upon an empty hairy gossamer cocoon lacking this egg cluster, then you have come upon the former abode of a MALE Tussock Moth (see below). " onceuponamichigan.com/2011/12/
Work includes new window installation, flooring prep for new carpet in open offices and construction of new stair in expanded core.

The SMUD Headquarters is truly a landmark of mid-century modern design. After 60 years of continuous use, a complete renovation is in process of their headquarters building, which is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Restoration work included paring the building back to its steel structure, upgrading all dated materials and systems. Glazing, solar shades, precast concrete and Wayne Thiebaud’s mosaic tile mural Water City, were also be carefully preserved; new efficient lighting and HVAC and data systems have been fully integrated to bring this iconic headquarters into the 21st century.
Also included in this renovation are site and landscape improvements designed to historically maintain significant site features.
The Robert E. and Barbara (Vitkuske) Schwartz House is a three-story, thin-shell, hemispherical dome structure with a circular plan. Constructed between 1964 and 1967, it is a unique example of Modern residential architecture designed by Midland architect Robert E. Schwartz for himself and his family. The dome structure is comprised of layers of 2" x 4" X 1 0'
extruded polystyrene (Styrofoam) boards stacked and bonded together using a method of construction developed by the Midland-based Dow Chemical Company called "Spiral Generation." The polystyrene dome is covered with an
approximately 3" thick coating of spray-applied concrete over a gridwork of reinforcing steel. Three large arched openings are cut out of the dome and infilled with aluminum-framed glazed curtain walls. The openings are oriented to the north,
southeast and southwest to provide views of the surrounding property and capture natural light. A tall, stacked-course, concrete block wall emerges from the north facade and then turns west to shield views of the carport from the street. A
linear storage shed with double doors was added along the inside face of the wall in 1979 . A two-vehicle, open carport, with concrete block walls and a small furnace room extension , projects from the west side of the dome structure. The
carport was added in 1992. At the top of the dome is a large skylight that provides ventilation to the interior and indirect natural light to the third floor. The entire dome, carport and tall block walls are painted white .
The Schwartz House is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C at the state level for its
association with the Modern architecture movement in Michigan and as a demonstration of the use of the Spiral
Generation method of construction developed by the Dow Chemical Company. The house was designed by Midland architect Robert E. Schwartz for himself and his family, and was constructed between the years 1964 and 1967. The Schwartz House possesses significance in the category of Architecture as a rare example in Michigan of the use of the dome form for mid~century residential design. The house also exhibits the fundamental characteristics of the Modern
Movement including its simple geometric form, lack of applied ornamentation, use of large expanses of glass to bring nature and sunlight into the structure, and its open, free~flowing floor plan. Further, the house possesses significance in the area of Engineering for its innovative structural system and use of alternative building materials and methods. The Schwartz House is an early residential prototype built as a collaborative effort between Schwartz and the Dow Chemical Company to provide a home for the architect and demonstrate Dow's proprietary spiral-generation system of construction.
The Schwartz House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on September 26, 2013.

Shortly after midnight, St. Catharines Fire were dispatched to the area of Hartzel Road and Dunvegan Road for a report of a structure fire. Multiple callers had reported a commercial building on fire beside the 7-11 gas station. First arriving units declared a working fire with the building being well-involved and crews began in a defensive attack. Within 30 minutes the fire was brought under control. There were no reported injuries.

I was more interested in structures, textures and materials than in this museum itself
Old Fort Niagara René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle built the first structure, called Fort Conti, in 1678. In 1687, the Governor of New France, the Marquis de Denonville, constructed a new fort at the former site of Fort Conti. He named it Fort Denonville and posted a hundred men under the command of Capt. Pierre de Troyes, Chevalier de Troyes. The winter weather and disease was severe, and all but twelve perished by the time a relief force returned from Montreal. It was decided in September of 1688 to abandon the post and the stockade was pulled down. In 1726, a two story "Maison a Machicoulis" or "Machicolated House" was constructed on the same site by French engineer Gaspard-Joseph Chaussegros de Lery. It was called the "House of Peace" or trading post to appease the Haudenosaunee, or Iroquois. The name used today, "The French Castle" was not used until the 19th Century. The fort was expanded to its present size in 1755 due to increased tensions between French and British colonial interests.
Designed to captivate the imagination of passers-by, a vegetated green roof is supported by a curvaceous wood structure. Structurally, the roof has visual interest inside and out while maintaining a warmth that only wood can provide. The complex petal roof structure utilizes a glulam post and beam assembly. A parametric 3D model was developed to rationalize the complex geometry of the petal shapes, and then used to produce fabrication information to shape each doubly-curved and tapered beam. The beams are spanned with secondarily curved joists suspending a lengthwise fir plywood slat exposed ceiling. The assembly is topped with two layers of plywood and conceals all MEP services installed in our shop.
Stonehenge is a prehistoric megalithic structure on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, two miles (3 km) west of Amesbury. It consists of an outer ring of vertical sarsen standing stones, each around 13 feet (4.0 m) high, seven feet (2.1 m) wide, and weighing around 25 tons, topped by connecting horizontal lintel stones, held in place with mortise and tenon joints, a feature unique among contemporary monuments. Inside is a ring of smaller bluestones. Inside these are free-standing trilithons, two bulkier vertical sarsens joined by one lintel. The whole monument, now in ruins, is aligned towards the sunrise on the summer solstice and sunset on the winter solstice. The stones are set within earthworks in the middle of the densest complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred tumuli (burial mounds).
Stonehenge was constructed in several phases beginning about 3100 BC and continuing until about 1600 BC. The famous circle of large sarsen stones were placed between 2600 BC and 2400 BC. The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC. Radiocarbon dating suggests that the bluestones were given their current positions between 2400 and 2200 BC, although they may have been at the site as early as 3000 BC.
One of the most famous landmarks in the United Kingdom, Stonehenge is regarded as a British cultural icon. It has been a legally protected scheduled monument since the Ancient Monuments Protection Act 1882 was passed. The site and its surroundings were added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986. Stonehenge is owned by the Crown Estate and managed by English Heritage; the surrounding land is owned by the National Trust.
Stonehenge could have been a burial ground from its earliest beginnings. Deposits containing human bone date from as early as 3000 BC, when the ditch and bank were first dug, and continued for at least another 500 years.
