Mount Clare is the oldest Colonial-era structure in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. The Georgian style plantation house exhibits a somewhat altered five-part plan.[3] It was built on a Carroll family plantation beginning in 1763 by barrister Charles Carroll, a descendant of the last Gaelic Lords of Éile in Ireland and a distant relative of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, signer of the Declaration of Independence.
The first building on the property was built by John Henry Carroll, barrister Charles Carroll's brother, in 1754, and was probably eventually incorporated as a portion of the larger house. Charles inherited the property on John's death and began construction between 1757 and 1760. Charles built the present 2-1/2 story Georgian style central block, incorporating John's kitchen and flanking it with a wash house and an orangery. In 1768 Charles added the projecting bay and Palladian window that dominate the entry facade today. The kitchen wing was enlarged and an office wing was added for balance, resulting in a symmetrical nine-part elevation.[4] The house was completed about 1767.[5]
After Charles' death in 1783 his widow made further changes, connecting outbuildings and adding a greenhouse to the orangery and expanding the laundry, resulting in a complex about 360 feet long. These additions, along with other alterations, were in the more current style of Federal architecture.[4]
The mansion left the family in 1840, and the house's flanking wings were demolished. During the American Civil War it was used as a headquarters by Union forces. After a period as a beer garden, the house and 70 acres (28 ha) were purchased by the city of Baltimore as a park.[5]
Wonderful structural, minimalist views of gas pipes outside of residences in Tel Aviv. These were all shapes and sizes and numbers of pipes. Generally a single larger pipe came up from the ground and spilt into multiple smaller pipes, connected with valves and meters, and then further pipes dissapeared into building walls.

Mutual Aid units quickly cancelled.
Bagan's sea of stupa, pagoda, and temples are one of the most a-typical and stunning things you'll find in Southeast Asia and a powerfully unique sight globally.
I had the pleasure of exploring Bagan about 3 weeks before the August Earthquake of 2016. The chance to walk in, on, and through so many of the structures is captivating and the weather was wonderfully cooperative despite it being the middle of July.
I was shocked at how dry the climate was compared to what I expected and the presence of so many working fields in and around the temple areas.

Former Southern Outfall Pumping Station.
Here you can see some of the roof structure. Pay particular attention to the access holes in the gravel bed, those are the access holes to the water cistern where all of the harvested rainwater gets stored for re-use in the house.
