A pretty Gothic Revival church, dating from 1839. The architect was George Cheesman.
I was unsurprised that the white Alfa Sud is no longer extant: the DVLA records that PLH14R was last taxed in March 1984. Chronic rust ensured that these zippy cars had brief lives on UK roads.

Torontonians call it the Flatiron because its triangular shape reminds them of the better known building in New York. It’s one of the city’s most photographed structures, but I still wanted to get some pictures of my own.

I drove Colorado's 'million dollar highway' from Durango to Silverson and Ouary in August 1981.
Being a flat-lander, the highway was very scary. A couple of times I wanted to turn around and go back. Fortunately, I didn't. It was worth the drive up!
Ouary, Colorado in August 1981.
In 2010, the population was 1,000.
Cincinnati Music Hall in 1888. Simply one of the most beautiful buildings in town, if not *the* most.
The Saint Paul Building in downtown St. Paul, MN, was built in 1888.
It is the last remaining Brownstone “skyscraper” remaining in the area.

This Gothic revival house dates back to 1878. It was purchased by Captain Ebe Chandler in 1918 upon Chandler's return to Frankford after serving as a sea captain. He added many of the Gothic details in an extensive renovation. Currently, the building is being renovated again is expected to reopen as a bed and breakfast in the future.
Cuthbert Brodrick, idiosyncratic Francophile Victorian architect, designed the Grand Hotel at Scarborough in 1867, having previously been responsible for a series of public buildings in Leeds, including the landmark Town Hall. Built on a V-shaped plan between 1863 and 1867, it was one of Europe's largest luxury hotels. Brodrick employed his favourite Second Empire style with corner domed turrets and rounded windows. On the landward side there are 4 floors plus 2 attic levels, facing the sea an additional 3 basement levels are visible. It is claimed that the 4 domes represent the 4 seasons, while there are 52 chimneys for the weeks in a year and 365 rooms for the days in a year. After remodelling today's hotel has only 250 rooms. It is no longer a destination for the wealthy visitor and operates as a budget hotel as part of the Britannia Hotels group. This would be Brodrick's last major commission - in 1870 he retired to France.
St Georges Buildings
This block of flats is in Bourdon Street which is part of the Grosvenor Estate that was originally laid out in the 1770s. The flats were designed for artisans (skilled workers) and were built by Victorian people who aimed to improve conditions for the working classes. This block is an early example of this type of 'Philanthropic' housing dating from 1853. Other similar blocks were built in different parts of London. These flats were planned by Henry Roberts and built for the St George's Parochial Association that had been founded in 1849. The flats were built from stock brick with a flat roof. They originally had 4 storeys and a basement. The top floor was added in 1876.

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!

With origins dating back to 1740, The Crown Hotel is one of Harrogate’s most historic and distinguished buildings. Lord Byron stayed here in 1806 and penned one of his earliest poems, Ode to a Beautiful Quaker. The hotel later embraced Harrogate’s spa identity, offering vapour, shower and fumigating baths after new wells were discovered on site by Joseph Thackwray’s great-nephew.
Rebuilt in 1847, the current structure is a handsome mix of classical symmetry and Victorian embellishment. The three-storey gritstone façade features arched sash windows, pilasters, and a commanding Corinthian portico. Successive expansions introduced elegant Italianate wings, canted bay windows, and in 1899, a four-stage tower topped with a circular cupola. Grade II listed in 1975, the Crown remains an icon — once requisitioned by the Air Ministry, now returned to the service of fine weekends and fond memories.

Avec des origines remontant à 1740, le Crown Hotel est l’un des bâtiments les plus historiques de Harrogate. Lord Byron y séjourna en 1806 et y écrivit l’un de ses premiers poèmes, Ode to a Beautiful Quaker. Le bâtiment adopta ensuite l’identité thermale de la ville, avec bains de vapeur, douches et traitements médicinaux grâce à la découverte de nouvelles sources sur place.
Reconstruit en 1847, l’édifice actuel mêle symétrie classique et ornementation victorienne. Sa façade en pierre comporte trois étages avec fenêtres cintrées, pilastres et un portique corinthien central. Les ailes italiennes, les baies vitrées en encorbellement et une tour coiffée d’un dôme circulaire (ajoutée en 1899) enrichissent le style. Classé Grade II en 1975, le Crown est aujourd’hui un repère local, ancien lieu de repos pour poètes, ministères et désormais… amateurs de weekends élégants.
London locals and tourists gather on the south bank ( The Queens Walk ) of the river Thames close to beautiful Tower Bridge. As you can see it was cloudy but it was very warm so some people were enjoying lounging around and drinking. Always great to see people enjoying themselves in such a huge but beautiful city like London.
New Court was the first major building of St John's College in Cambridge to be built on the west side of the River Cam. It dates from 1831 and was designed by Thomas Rickman and Henry Hutchinson in the Gothic style.
After being intrigued for more than half a century by this fine Victorian building close to the Hull city centre, I finally learn its story. It was built in 1895 as the factory and offices for W.T. Owbridge, maker of Owbridge’s Lung Tonic, a cough mixture. The factory closed in 1972. In 1990 the William Sutton Trust took over the site, incorporating the building into a residential scheme.

The Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge is quite simply my favourite museum. Founded in 1816, it houses the art and antiquities collection of the University of Cambridge. Having initially been based elsewhere in the city, the “Founder’s Building” was designed by George Basevi, completed by C. R. Cockerell and opened in 1848. The splendid entrance hall is by Edward Middleton Barry and was completed in 1875. The picture features the ceiling of the entrance hall.
1299 Haight Street stands as a quintessential example of San Francisco’s rich architectural history, particularly in the vibrant Haight-Ashbury neighborhood. This three-story building is a testament to the city’s early 20th-century architectural style, blending elements of Edwardian and Victorian design. The exterior features a mix of wood siding and stone, creating a visually striking facade that captures the eye of anyone passing by.
One of the most distinctive aspects of this building is its detailed craftsmanship. The intricate woodwork, seen in the cornices and window frames, reflects the attention to detail characteristic of the era. The building’s upper levels boast classic bay windows, which not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also provide ample natural light to the interiors. The central, arched window on the top floor adds a unique architectural flourish, contributing to the building’s historic charm.
The ground level of 1299 Haight is clad in a textured stone finish, providing a contrasting yet complementary base to the otherwise wooden structure. This combination of materials not only reinforces the building’s durability but also accentuates its architectural elegance. The entrance, framed by decorative pillars and a carved stone lintel, invites residents and visitors into a space that is as rich in history as it is in character.
Positioned on the corner of Haight and Central Avenue, this building is perfectly situated in the heart of one of San Francisco’s most iconic neighborhoods. The Haight-Ashbury district is famous for its countercultural heritage, and living here means being surrounded by a blend of historic architecture, vibrant street art, and an eclectic mix of shops and cafes.
For those seeking a home that encapsulates the essence of San Francisco’s past while being in the midst of a lively, ever-evolving community, 1299 Haight Street offers an unparalleled living experience.
