Always enjoy seeing this statue of this remarkable poet and lover of architecture, he did so much to save not just this stunning station, but Victorian architecture across the country. He helped save many buildings and more importantly inspired us to appreciate and love them too. This was taken on the weekend after an anniversary - he was holding a card and a bunch of flowers - he was born on 28th August 1906.

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!
I saw this attractive Victorian double-shotgun house during a walkabout in New Orleans.

I saw the house on Frenchmen Street.
Built 1887 .... Builder - William Hooker .... The gabled Victorian row houses on Wellesley Cottage Lane are labourers’ cottages built in 1887 by William Hooker from the plans that won the architectural award in 1851 Crystal Palace Exhibition in London ....
Built in the Nineteenth Century, this little weatherboard cottage may be found in the small alpine town of Wandiligong.
Although gentrified over the years with an elegant verandah at the front, what is now a farmhouse, would have been the cottage home of one of the many miners that panned for gold during the Victorian Gold Rush. It features a corrugated iron roof and a verandah to help keep the cottage cool and shady during the warmer summer months. You might notice that it has two gables, and this is because the original cottage would only have been a couple of rooms making up the front building. However, in ensuing years the owners of the cottage became more prosperous, and were thus able to extend the cottage twice its original size. It is not unusual to see little miner's cottages with two or three extensions added onto the back of the original cottage.
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.

A decorative letter "L" in a foliated circle can be seen on the facade.
Built in the Nineteenth Century, this little red brick and weatherboard cottage may be found in the small alpine town of Wandiligong.
Proudly it sits behind its white picket fence with wooden posts, simple and elegant. It features a corrugated iron roof and a verandah to help keep the cottage cool and shady during the warmer summer months. It also has two rather sturdy red brick chimneys with elegant capping. It once would have been the cottage home of one of the many miners that panned for gold during the Victorian Gold Rush.

During a walkabout in downtown Ormond Beach, FL, I noticed the gorgeously restored Victorian building occupied by the Rose Villa Southern Table and Bar.
It appears to have originally been built as a home.
Sutton Coldfield railway station on the Cross-City Line which runs between Redditch to Lichfield via Birmingham New Street. Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, West Midlands.
It was opened in 1862 as the terminus of the train line from Birmingham New Street. In 1884 a tunnel was built north of the station so the line could be extended to Lichfield. The station was the location of a train crash on 23 January 1955, in which 17 people died.
The station is of Victorian architecture with red brick and elaborate ceilings and pillars. One platform is sheltered while the other is open air. The main building itself is built on a hill with a tunnel running underneath it. It is accessed via Station Street and Railway Road.
During our visit to New Orleans in June 1985, I saw this Victorian in the French Quarter with its balconies with fancy wrought iron railings.
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.

Southport's Hesketh Park at the start of October 2019.
There are many beautifully restored shotgun houses in Key West, FL.
Many of the shotgun houses were built by cigar factory owners to house their Cuban cigar makers.
Most of these houses are now worth a million dollars!
I think that this looks like a fairy tale cottage, It's the pointed roof that does it.

Fellow Flickrite and my fine photographer friend, Ray Wood, seen here exploring one of Liverpool's loveliest hidden gems, where Sweeting Street (previously named Elbow Lane) and Queen Avenue meet.
Shot from Dale Street via a half hidden, arched & gated entrance. Incidentally, this is officially Liverpool's most perfectly preserved Victorian enclave but remains unknown to so many people, including lots of lifelong Liverpudlians.
Kolkata Town Hall in Roman-Doric style, was built by the architect Col. John Garstin in 1813 with a fund of Rupees seven lakhs raised from lottery to provide the Europeans with a place for social gatherings. At first, the hall was placed under a committee, which allowed the public to use the hall under such terms and conditions as were fixed by the Government. The public could visit the ground floor hall to see statues and large size portrait paintings but they were not allowed indiscriminate access to the upper storey. Applications for the use of the upper storey were to be made to the committee. In 1867 Town Hall came under the custody of the Calcutta Municipality (later on Kolkata Municipal Corporation). In the year of 1897 the Town Hall had been partly renovated. After political independence in 1947, Indiscriminate interference with the structure inevitably took its toll. That, at last, has been prevented in 1998 by timely intervention.
Great Hall at Knightshayes Court where the William Burges interior scheme was largely adopted, unlike elsewhere in the house.
One of my fav most views of Sydney siders. This dynamic and yet static view gives endless angles to get the perfect shot. This is one of many many many more to come.
The Clifton Suspension Bridge is a suspension bridge, which opened in 1864, spanning the Avon Gorge and the River Avon, linking Clifton in Bristol to Leigh Woods in North Somerset, England. Designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the bridge is a grade I listed building and forms part of the B3129 road.
The idea of building a bridge across the Avon Gorge originated in 1753. Original plans were for a stone bridge, and later iterations were for a wrought iron structure. In 1831, an attempt to build Brunel's design was stopped by the Bristol riots, and the revised version of his designs was built after his death and completed in 1864. Although similar in size, the bridge towers are not identical in design, the Clifton tower having side cut-outs, the Leigh tower more pointed arches atop a 110-foot (34 m) red sandstone-clad abutment. Roller-mounted "saddles" at the top of each tower allow movement of the three independent wrought iron chains on each side when loads pass over the bridge. The bridge deck is suspended by 81 matching vertical wrought-iron rods.
Two men were killed during the bridge's construction; since opening it has gained a reputation as a suicide bridge. It has plaques that advertise the telephone number of The Samaritans and above the railings on the bridge there are anti-climb barriers. The Clifton Bridge Company initially managed the bridge under licence from a charitable trust. The trust subsequently purchased the company shares, completing this in 1949 and took over the running of the bridge using the income from tolls to pay for maintenance. The bridge is a distinctive landmark, used as a symbol of Bristol on postcards, promotional materials, and informational web sites. It was also used as a backdrop to several films and television advertising and programmes. It has also been the venue for significant cultural events such as the first modern bungee jump in 1979, the last ever Concorde flight in 2003 and a handover of the Olympic Torch relay in 2012.

Built by famous Detroit architect John Scott, unlike other houses in the the historic district this is a frame house, a "stick Victorian". Ownership of the beautiful home passed through the hands of several notable Detroiters in its early decades, but by the 1960s it had fallen into bad disrepair. However, as preservation efforts were taking hold on West Canfield, owners of the Scott house mounted tremendous efforts to restore it to its original beauty.

Built in the late Nineteenth Century, "Claremont: is a weatherboard villa, which may be found in the small alpine town of Wandiligong.
This villa is quite charming and obviously belonged to someone of means, for it is not a miner's cottage with several rooms built either side off a central hallway. It features two red brick chimneys and an elegant shady verandah that runs around the perimeter of the house. The house's name, "Claremont" appears painted in gilt letters on the lunette above the front door.
