The Virginia Retirement System (VRs) is in this attractive Richardsonian Romanesque building in downtown Richmond.
Viewed from Tyrrel Street, the Prudential Assurance Buildings (1895), one of twenty-six local offices built for the company by the prolific artchitect Alfred Waterhouse. A wonderful example of late Victorian architectural exuberance in red brick and terracotta. To the right, the view up Ivegate affords a glimpse of the pediments of the rather attractive building at the corner of Westgate and Kirkgate, which is surprisingly unlisted. The columns of the 1871-3 Thorpe Buldings are just visible right of shot.
Victor H. Allen Home, Buford Georgia
This Colonial Revival home was built in 1908. It is decorated with patriotic bunting banners to celebrate Independence Day. Victor Allen was the 5th son of Bona Allen.
These flags are not usually on this house, only on certain holidays. I rode past and thought about this for Selective Color theme. I have taken photos of this house before. It is bright yellow!

Ouray, Colorado - nicknamed the "The Switzerland of America" is a small town scenically located in the San Juan Mountain range in the Rocky Mountains. Surrounded on three sides by 13,000 foot towering peaks, Ouray began as a gold and silver mining town in 1876 and at one time had more than 30 active mines. Now an exciting vacation destination, Ouray is know for its hundreds of miles of historic Jeep roads, hot springs and the Ouray Ice Park. Many of the original Victorian style buildings have been beautifully restored and the town is a National Historic District and on the National Register of Historic Places.
Ouray is located at the beginning of the scenic Million Dollar Highway connecting Ouray to neighboring towns of Silverton and Durango. Regarded as one of the most beautiful roads in Colorado, the Million Dollar Highway is also considered one of the most dangerous because of its sharp turns, sheer edges and lack of guard rails. We have traveled this road many times over the years and have found it to be the highlight of many of our vacations!
Thank you for visiting and have a wonderful day!

I saw this attractive and well maintained pair of Victorian houses from the Canal Streetcar in New Orleans, Louisiana.
They are located on the 4500 Block of Canal Street. I actually got off the streetcar to admire them. I then just waited a few minutes to catch the next streetcar.

San Francisco is absolutely the best city to take a walkabout in.
Highlights are the views from the many hills and the numerous and gorgeously painted Victorians.
I saw this attractive Victorian building in downtown Concord, North Carolina.
The city is lucky, it still has a vibrant downtown

One of the Minnesota state capital’s signature buildings, overlooking Rice Square. Designed by Willoughby J. Edbrooke in his capacity as Supervisory Architect of the US Treasury Department, it was completed in 1902, serving originally as the United States Post Office, Courthouse and Custom House for the state of Minnesota. The building has many of Edbrooke’s gothic revival stylistic touches as seen in his famous Old Post Office in Washington DC. Today, it serves as an arts and cultural centre.
The formation of Amtrak in May 1971 to take over individual railroads’ long-distance passenger services spelt the immediate end of Chicago’s Dearborn Station as a functioning railroad depot. Fortunately, the red brick and pink granite head house of 1885 was spared demolition, and the remnants of the complex today host office, retail and hospitality businesses.
This is a Silhouette of the former Belmont works cycle factory that is part of the regeneration of the East Side of Birmingham. This is near to the proposed HS2 station. It is a grade A listed Victorian building waiting to be restored.

Walking home from work on a very fine, warm spring evening, the late-day sun and the tall, old tenements along Bruntsfield Place combined to give large spots illuminated by lovely sunlight and the other spots in deep shadows. Between that and the Victorian tenement architecture the scene was begging for a couple of quick B&W shots.
I used to stay just around the corner from these scenes when I was a student and miss the area, it's a great part of town. Alas despite only being fifteen minutes walk from my flat it is a much more pricey area (even by Edinburgh's crazy house prices) so I doubt I will be moving back here any time soon, but I still walk through it sometimes.

I saw this attractive Victorian building in the small town of Burkeville, Virginia.
It looks like it once may have been a bank.
Built in 1885, the former Wandiligong Post Office can be found on a rise along Morses Creek Road in the little alpine town of Wandiligong.
Built of weatherboard the building features a hipped roof and a double gabled frontage either side of a smart front door containing panels of hand painted stained glass. The house's windows feature original awnings made of red painted corrugated iron that matches the roof.
Today the former Wandiligong Post Office is a private residence.
Wandiligong is a town in north-eastern Victoria in the alpine region around 330 kilometres from Melbourne. Established in the 1850s as part of the Victorian Gold Rush, Wandiligong became a hub for many gold miners, including a large Chinese community. At its peak, the town was home to over two thousand inhabitants and boasted shops, churches, a public library, halls and even an hotel. Much has changed since those heady days of the gold rush, and the picturesque town nestled in a valley and built around the Morses Creek, is now a sleepy little town full of picturesque houses which are often let to visitors to the area. The whole town is registered with the National Trust of Australia for its historic landscape and buildings of historic value.
I saw this lovely Victorian while taking the Canal Street Streetcar. It is located at the corner of S. Derbigny and Canal Streets.
It is the only house standing in a two block area near the University Medical Center.
It looks like it is undergoing restoration. Hopefully, it's not going to be torn down for a parking lot!
Christ Church in the Wiltshire village of Worton, near Devizes, was built in 1841; before that villagers had to walk around 2 km into Potterne to go to Church, and the nearby Methodist Chapel at Marston was much closer. The site of the church is on the south side of the village to enable it to serve Marston as well as Worton. The two villages today have a total population of around 800. The Wesleyan Chapel a few hundred metres away and now disused, was completed in 1848 despite being an easy stroll from Marston. The 1840s obviously witnessed a bit of an Anglican-vs-Methodist ecclesiastical arms race in these villages!
This is a simple but handsome preaching box with box pews; the pulpit may be 18th Century, and therefore older than the church. It was built to designs of T.H. Wyatt, in ashlar blocks, with an octagonal stone bellcote. Christ Church is Grade II listed. Pevsner described its windows as "oddly tall, slim".
One of my favourite and most characterful Washington DC buildings was for long known as the Old Post Office and Clock Tower. Designed in an unabashed Romanesque Revival style by Willoughby J. Edbrooke, it was completed in 1899. It served briefly as the city’s main post office, then becoming used by other government departments after 1914. Demolition threatened on several occasions, during the 1930s when the Federal Triangle was constructed, and again in the 1970s when the building stood vacant. A new chapter opened in 2013, when the Government Services Agency leased the building to the DJT Holdings LLC consortium. That’s DJT as in Donald J. Trump, who duly oversaw the building’s transformation into a luxury hotel that had his name emblazoned on it. In 2022, DJT relinquished control, and new owners renamed the hotel as the Waldorf Astoria Washington DC.

I saw the 1895 Victorian Barbados Mutual Life Assurance Society Building during a walkabout in downtown, Bridgetown, Barbados.
I thought the wraparound cast-iron balconies were very attractive.

I just love this place. It's not you typical lighthouse, but I think the Victorian architecture is so wonderfully quaint and the gardens that have been created around it, make it doubly charming. This is the back of the building.
It was built in 1874, It has a Fourth-order Fresnal lens. that can be seen 13 nautical miles (24km; 15 mi) out.
In 1913 a severe storm ripped up the coastline and brought the surf dangerously close to the structure, threatening the foundation. It was temporarily closed and moved 150 ft west. It reopened a year later.
In 1964 the light was decommissioned, The lighthouse was boarded up and slowly fell into disrepair until 1982 when a bunch of locals rallied around this wonderful building and lovingly restored it.
Today it's on the both the National and State Register of Historic Places
It is operated and maintained with money generated by Lighthouse tours, the gift shop and various fundraising projects
The Minneapolis City Hall and Hennepin County Courthouse (also known as the Municipal Building) is located in downtown Minneapolis.
