Alternatively known as the Graves House, after the original owners of one the earliest houses to be built in the new community of Oceanside CA in 1886, the Victorian home gained later fame as a location in the 1986 movie, ‘Top Gun’. It has survived efforts by developers to raze it in favour of resort hotels, but is now surrounded by modern structures of vastly less charm. The house reopened in March 2022 as the High-Pie Shop and is filmed with memorabilia from the movie (which I loathed).

c.1910. A (modern) note with the picture reads: 'Designed by Henry Currey, this cast-iron and glass structure was opened in August 1875. Its true and original use was literally as a winter garden where people could stroll in bad weather. The highly decorated stage was added in 1910. The glass in the roof has been removed, cutting down the light and that of the glass doors at ground level were curtained off destroying the light, airy atmosphere that it should have.'
A memorable business (lite) trip to the United States, my fourth to date, with an itinerary that took me for the first time to the big cities of Washington DC, Chicago and finally, Boston. I was awestruck for the full ten days of my travels. I.M. Pei mirror-glass John Hancock Tower that overlooks Copley Square impressed me, and I had lots of fun photographing it. Reflected in its lower-floor panels is the Gothic Revival tower of the Old South Church, across the road in Boylston Street. The building was designed by Charles Amos Cummings and Willard T. Sears, being completed in 1973.

Sacred Heart was a beautful Roman Catholic Church in downtown Augusta, Georgia. It was originally built to service the needs of the area's growing Irish Catholic population in the late 19th century. However, floods and wars led to a decline in the number of people living in the city's center. Thus, Sacred Heart held its last mass in 1971.
Knox Ltd. restored Sacred Heart in 1987, and a nonprofit organization was formed to maintain the historic facility and to develop and promote cultural activities. Today, Sacred Heart Cultural Center is open for tours and is available for community events.

Great that some of these are still operating. This one beside the Grand Hotel is a splendid example especially the entrance foyer and pay booth at the top.
Designed by Edward Culliatt Jones and Mathias Harvey Baldwin, the home was built in 1870. Amos Woodruff, a maker of buggies and carriages, purchased the property for $12,000 and $40,000 to construct the house. In 1883, Noland Fontain, a cotton factor, purchased the home.

The Arcade is a Victorian-era structure of two nine-story buildings, joined by a five-story arcade with a glass skylight spanning over 300 feet (91 m), along the four balconies. Erected in 1890, the Arcade is identified as one of the earliest indoor shopping malls in the United States. Designed by John Eisenmann, the Arcade is one of the few remaining arcades of its kind in the United States. Modeled after the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II located in Milan, the construction was financed by John D. Rockefeller, Marcus Hanna, Charles F. Brush and several other wealthy Clevelanders of the day. In 2001, the Hyatt corporation redeveloped the Arcade into Cleveland's first Hyatt Regency hotel. The Hyatt Regency occupies the two towers and the top three floors of the atrium area. The two lower floors of the atrium area remain open to the public with retail merchants and a food court.
