James Dunsmuir commissioned Samuel Maclure, a Victorian architect, to design the "Castle", and Messrs. Brett and Hall, landscape artists of Boston, Massachusetts, to plan the gardens and surroundings. Local stone, trimmed by Valdez and Saturna Island sandstone was used in the building's construction. Its impressive exterior is matched only by the lavishness of the interior appointments; oak and rosewood panelled rooms, baronial fireplace, teak floors, and specially made lighting fixtures. James is quoted as saying: "Money doesn't matter, just build what I want."
These tiles were on exhibit in the Karatay Medresesi. I found them interesting because they showed figures of people and animals. When I asked why these were here, the comment was that these were likely from a palace location, rather than a mosque.

This tile work adorns the floors of the original main entrance to Union Station. Back in the station's heyday this would have greeted the thousands of people who ventured into the station to ride the rails to other cities.
Nashville's Union Station is a former railroad terminal opened in 1900 to serve the passenger operations of the eight railroads then providing passenger service to Nashville, Tennessee. Built just to the west of the downtown area, it was adjacent to a railroad gulch through which most of the tracks of the area were routed which was spanned by a viaduct adjacent to the station. The station was also served by streetcars prior to their discontinuance in Nashville in 1941.

We watched these guys for about half an hour before we realized the train we wanted wasn't running. I thought that the tile work in the subway stations must have been done like 50 years ago, but apparently they are still working on it.
I am totally in awe of the subway system in NY. Image if LA had 1/0th of this system!
