Finding Victorian architecture in Newburyport, MA is easy. This historic seaside town has a unique assortment of first and second period homes, plus many Federal, Queen Anne, Victorian , Greek Revival and Gothic Revival homes. Sea captains built their homes here and liked to show how successful they were by building large, ornate homes. This is one of my favorite Victorian style homes on High Street.

This photo shows most of a mural that has been painted on the side of a building in the Chicago neighborhood of Pullman. This mural is significant because of the fact that it represents the history of the area and more specifically, it reminds anyone who sees it of the blue collar roots that were planted here over 100 years ago when Pullman was a town separate from Chicago (and a company town to boot-- which was owned and maintained by the Pullman Palace Car Company).

BAM construction tour of the Fish and Coal Drops at King's Cross.
The Coal Drops were built in the 1850s and 60s to transfer coal from rail wagons to road carts.
Cornwall Buildings, Newhall Street. Late 1890s, brick and terracotta with Dutch gables. Grade II listed.
I worked there for a summer job in 1967 for the Liverpool Corporation Cleansing Department at the east end of the building beyond the white truck. The complex of buildings now houses the Magistrates Court and was built beginning in 1857 by John Weightman. Accused murderer Mrs. Florence Maybrick was one of a number of notable people imprisoned the building.

Daniel Waggoner (born 1828), was an early Texas cattle rancher who created an empire through hard work and shrewd investments. When he died in 1902, he left one of the largest family-owned ranches in Texas. During that time, he built “El Castile”, a $50,000 mansion on a hill at one end of Decatur’s Main St. Built in 1883, it has been called one of the finest examples of Victorian masonry architecture in Texas. It has "a large basement, sixteen rooms and six and one-half bathrooms." I’ve tried to capture a few of the exterior architectural details. The mansion was used as a model for the home in the movie "Giant." Sources: tshaonline.org; wisehistory.com

This is No. 15 High Street at the junction with St. John's Street. Former Savings Bank built in 1848-49 - grade II listed. To the left is the side of the Town Hall.
Nice little 1870's style house built in the 1880's. The original owner was a local bigwig who, I believe, built it as a gift to his wife. Though the sign in front refers to it as the Frisbie 'mansion' it's really more like a good quality medium sized farmhouse of the time.
An oblique view of the School of Art shows off the rich red brickwork and the repetition of arches and piers that animate the surface in sunlight and shadow.
Inside the Great Western Arcade, looking towards Snow Hill. The top floor and cast iron roof were destroyed in the war. Refurbishment in the 1980s preserved much of the original fabric and character.

Architect: Sanya Polescuk Architects
A Victorian coach and horses stables, stripped of its later domestic additions, is returned to a working environment of a different kind: Sanya Polescuk Architect's own studio. This award winning project was an exercise in thorough reclaim, rigorous and energy efficient retrofit! When converting this unusual mews house in Belsize Park's Conservation Area into a modern, light-filled and sustainable workspace, the practice retained the original features of the former Victorian coach and horses stables, whilst meeting the challenge of increasing the thermal efficiency of a late 19th-century building. After removing the domestic additions of recent years, a single open, horseshoe-shaped space was created with independent access from the mews. By reclaiming originally used materials, or choosing those with recyclable properties, the office has succeeded in sustainably overlaying the signs of the building's previous use with its new identity.
