This building was boarded up for so long during my childhood and teens whilst the Borough Council and other interested parties decided what was to happen to it. Listed, so it couldn't be demolished, it was finally renovated into public toilets and mixed use after a good few months of work.
It seems the only time I discover lovely houses like this is when I'm a passenger in a speeding car. I got two shots as we went by...

703-709 Capp Street, 731-765 Capp Street: fifteen stick-style houses, all by architect T. J. Welsh, ten of which are intect. built 1889 - source- S + J Woodbridge, 1982 edition
"Between 1889 and 1894, Baroness Mary Ellen von Schroeder developed 27 houses on South Van Ness (then called Howard Street) between 22nd and 23rd Streets and the backing lots with houses facing Capp Street. Designed by architect Thomas J. Welsh (1845-1918), the Eastlake or American Stick style houses sold for around $5,000. Many of the existing houses have the original flash glass—small colored glass squares surrounding the main window pane. Welsh designed many houses in the city, but is best remembered for his work as the primary architect for the Archdiocese of San Francisco: the original buildings for Sts. Peter and Paul in North Beach, St. Dominic's and Sacred Heart Parish in the Western Addition, and St. Mary's Cathedral on Van Ness. Only the latter two survived the 1906 Earthquake and Fire, although fire destroyed St. Mary’s in 1962.
And what of the Baroness? Mary Ellen Donahue, called Mamie, was the daughter of Peter Donahue, who had arrived in San Francisco from Ireland in 1849 and with his brothers opened a small blacksmith shop at the corner of Mission and First Streets. This shop grew into Union Iron Works, the first foundry in San Francisco. Peter Donahue also manufactured the first printing press in the West and built the first city railway on the Pacific. And with his brother James, Peter founded the first gas works in San Francisco, the forerunner of Pacific Gas and Electric Company."

We saw this lovely Victorian home in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Called 'Rosalie', it was built in 1883.
I love all the gingerbread trim!

As a long-standing devotee of Victorian architecture, I was thrilled to stumble upon this gem, just one block away from the grand St. Paul mansions along Summit Avenue. From the outset, it appears to have been built as a collection of individual apartments rather than a tycoon’s grand mansion, built I have been unable to glean much further information, certainly none about the original architect. The building gets no mention in a website that features St. Paul’s historic buildings. All I was able to learn via postings on realtors’ websites was that it was built in 1888. Is it listed on the National Register of Historical Places?

The Cohen-Bray House (aka the "Alfred H. Cohen House") was built circa 1882–4 by Julia Moses and Watson A. Bray as a wedding present for their daughter Emma, who married attorney Alfred H. Cohen on February 28, 1884.
When Emma Bray, who had come to Oak Tree Farm as a baby, became engaged to Alfred Henry Cohen, her wedding present from her parents was a seventeen room house on the property across the road from her parents' home "where the asparagus patch had been". Big Four attorney Alfred A. Cohen, Alfred Henry's father, completely furnished the newlyweds home as the wedding present from the groom's parents.
Over 300 guests attended the wedding a Oak Tree Farm on February 24, 1884. When Emma and Alfred H. left their wedding reception, instead of going directly to the honeymoon suite awaiting them in Del Monte, they slipped across the street and watched their wedding reception "wind down" from their brand new home.
Emma and Alfred H. Cohen lived in their home at 1440 29th Avenue for the rest of their lives, and their four children Alfreda Cohen, Douglas Cohen, Marion Cohen, and Edith Emelita Cohen were born there.
After Alfred died in 1925, Emma Cohen stayed in the house until her death in 1945. Her youngest daughter, Edith Emelita, lived in the house which her mother Emma bequeathed to her as a life estate for 90 years until her death in 1988.

Beautiful 19th century facade, with Corinthian columns, on Pall Mall, central Bendigo. This building is for sale.
Architect; Rick Mather, 1992-95.
Decorative brickwork, sensitive placing of an intelligent building but unlike ABK's neighbour, rather forgettable and self-conscious in presence of Victorian flamboyance.
An impressive Victorian mansion in northern England, Cragside House, was the home of William Armstrong -- scientist, inventor and arms merchant. Armstrong, his wife Margaret and architect Richard Norman Shaw collaborated on the design of the house and gardens. Cragside featured many innovations and was the first house in the world to be powered by hydroelectricity. The house is now a National Trust property and visitors are allowed to explore nearly every one of its fully furnished rooms.
Architects; William Butterfield, 1876.
One of the finest Victorian Architects William Butterfield was reaching crescendo with his polychromatic brickwork in “holy zebra” style (as described by his critics) at his Keble Chapel (1875-76) in Oxford.
Los Angeles County Coroner's Office. Originally a hospital before the monolithic General Hospital was completed in the early 1930's.
This finely built and well preserved Victorian house was built c.1870 and appears to have retained its original sash windows.
Raharney is a small village in southern County Westmeath close to the Meath boarder. The name is an anglicised version of Rath Airne, Gaelic for “Rath of the Sloes”. The village developed at a ford crossing of the River Deel (a tributary of the River Boyne) and retains much of its rural character and buildings that date back to the 18th century. The arched bridge there is of 18th century origin and was renovated in 1848 as part of a local Famine Relief Works Scheme.
Raharney village reached its peak size during the early 19th century having 45 houses in 1831, including a corn and saw mill which were both active into the 1940’s. As such, the village used to be a significant agricultural trading centre especially for corn and timber. Landed gentry lived at nearby Grangemore House which was built c.1811, but today the building is a ruined shell and all that remains intact are the main entrance pillars with its fine wrought-iron railings. St, Brigid’s RC Church was built in 1834 and there are two pubs, a shop with post office and a national primary school. About a half mile to the west of the village is Kilcolumb Cemetery in which can be seen a few decorated 18th century headstones. The 2011 census states Raharney’s population as 227, nearly a 13% decrease since 1986.

The Queen Anne Cottage on the grounds of the LA Arboretum was built in 1885 by Elias "Lucky" Baldwin for his fourth wife, Lillie. The couple used it primarily for entertaining—the Cottage doesn’t even have a kitchen.
Seen in Little King Street, Bristol, at an unknown date during the early 1970s. Is it perhaps an estate version of the Hillman Imp?
Interesting glimpse of dilapidated buildings on the opposite bank of the Floating Harbour. I think the name, in full, was Godwin Warren.
