Glen Ellyn Downtown North Historic District
Glen Ellyn, Illinois
Listed 09/18/2013
Reference Number: 13000716
The Glen Ellyn Downtown North Historic District is locally eligible for listing to the National Register of Historic Places in the areas of commerce, community planning and development, and architecture. The proposed district meets Criterion A as a physical representation of the of the commercial history of the Village of Glen Ellyn, which evolved from a small cluster of blacksmith shops, harness-makers, and groceries along the newly-established Galena and Chicago Union Railroad in the 1850s, into a compact and lively central business district serving a booming suburban population 100 years later. The earliest buildings in the district date from the 1890s, with the majority dating from the prosperous decades of the early 20th century. The district also meets Criterion A as the product of a focused movement within Glen Ellyn in the 1920s to control and direct commercial growth within its central business district. The creation during this decade of the village's first zoning ordinance and comprehensive plan, along with the establishment of the Zoning Board of Appeals, Plan Commission and Architecture Advisory Board, all led to significant changes within Glen Ellyn's downtown, including the expansion of the business district south of the railroad tracks and the proliferation in the 1920s and 1930s of Tudor Revival commercial buildings within the district. The design decisions of the Plan Commission shaped the built environment in Glen Ellyn's downtown in ways that are plainly evident to this day, and contribute heavily to the district's overall character. The proposed district meets Criterion C as an intact collection of commercial buildings representing architectural styles from the late-19th to the mid-20th century. The district's commercial structures range from Queen Anne-style blocks dating from the 1890s to historic revival styles like Tudor Revival, Classical Revival and Renaissance Revival, which represent the district's most robust period of growth in the 1920s. The period of significance for the proposed district spans from 1890 to 1963. The year 1890 marks the beginning of the decade during which the district's earliest surviving commercial buildings were constructed; 1963 marks the end of the historic post-war era in the district, during which efforts were made to modernize and retain businesses within the village's original commercial center.

Union Meetinghouse/ Universalist Church
Kensington, New Hampshire
Listed 02/13/2013
Reference Number: 13000008
The Universalist Church is nominated for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C for significance in the Area of Architecture. The property is significant at the local level, as an excellent example of a mid-nineteenth century rural church in the Greek Revival style and as a recognized landmark in the Town of Kensington. The church retains the character-defining architectural features and details, materials, and craftsmanship that convey its architectural significance as a mid-nineteenth-century Greek Revival rural church and reflecting the design and workmanship of the local builders Josiah B. Sanborn and Dearborn T. Blake. The form, massing, and decorative detailing are all characteristic of this type, style, and period of construction. The distinguishing features that constitute the style include the wood-frame construction, gable-front facade with two entries with sidelights and frontispieces with pilasters supporting an entablature, molded comer pilasters, closed pediment with blind semi-circular fanlights, and tall 20/20 sash windows on the side elevations illuminating the auditorium. The belfry, though a later addition, was done well within the historic period. Local sources and the framing evidence suggest a ca. 1860 date for the addition. The detailing of the belfry closely resembles the original decorative trim of the church and the style and form is in keeping with the character-defining architectural features of the Greek Revival style. The interior with an integral vestibule, comer stairs to the gallery, two aisles, and slip pews is significant for its original finishes such as plastered walls and coved ceiling, grained auditorium doors, in addition to its original low pulpit with Grecian furniture. The Universalist Church has a high degree of architectural integrity making the property a good example of the building practices of a particular time in history. The Period of Significance for the property represents the years of its design, construction, and completion, 1839-1840, through 1870, with the completion of the steeple addition ca. 1860 when it fully attained the character-defining features of its architecture. The Universalist Church meets National Register Criteria Consideration A for religious properties because it has significance in the Area of Architecture.

Tree population
The tree population is, as in any kitchen garden, replanted on a regular basis. But really outstanding is the Platanus orientalis (Platanus orientalis) in the center of the garden. It has a height and a crown diameter of each 20 m and a chest circumference of 3.6 m. This tree is individually designated as a natural monument (no. 376).
Rose Garden and Flower Arrangement
There is a rose garden with more than 3000 rose bushes of over 200 varieties of roses between the entrance at the Burgtheater and the Grillparzer Monument. In the middle of the rose garden are, framed by boxwood hedges, laid out rosaries that contain the majority of the rose plants. Most varieties of roses, however, are found in the border of the garden that is formed behind a row of chairs of several rows of standard roses followed by climbing roses. The species of roses in the rose garden are mostly labeled, the in the park dispersed shrub roses but not. In 2000 was in the People's Garden a 80-year-old rosebush from the garden of the birthplace of Karl Renner (former Austrian statesman) in Dolní Dunajovice by the Austrian-Czech Society planted in his memory and provided with a memorial plaque.

Baumbestand
Der Baumbestand wird wie in jedem Nutzgarten regelmäßig nachgepflanzt. Herausragend ist aber die Morgenländische Platane (Platanus orientalis) im Zentrum des Gartens. Sie hat eine Höhe und auch einen Kronendurchmesser von je 20 m und einen Brustumfang von 3,6 m. Dieser Baum ist einzeln als Naturdenkmal ausgewiesen (Nr. 376).
Rosengarten und Blumenschmuck
Zwischen dem Eingang beim Burgtheater und dem Grillparzer-Denkmal befindet sich ein Rosengarten mit über 3000 Rosensträuchern von mehr als 200 Rosensorten. In der Mitte des Rosengartens sind von Buchsbaumhecken umrahmte Rosenbeete angelegt, die den Großteil der Rosenpflanzen enthalten. Die meisten Rosensorten sind allerdings in der Umrandung des Gartens zu finden, die hinter einer Stuhlreihe von mehreren Reihen Hochstammrosen gefolgt von Schlingrosen gebildet wird. Die Rosensorten im Rosengarten sind großteils beschildert, die im Park verteilten Strauchrosen dagegen nicht. Im Jahr 2000 wurde im Volksgarten ein rund 80-jähriger Rosenstrauch aus dem Garten des Geburtshauses von Karl Renner in Dolní Dunajovice durch die österreichisch-tschechische Gesellschaft zu dessen Gedenken gepflanzt und mit einer Gedenktafel versehen.

Jahangiri Mahal
Named after the Mughal emperor Jahangir who spent one night here with his Bundela ally Bir Singh Deo, this is an exellent example of Rajpud Bundela architecture. The many-layered palace has 132 chambers off and above the central courtyard and an almost equal number of subterranean rooms. The square sandstone palace is extravagatly embellished with lapis lazuli lites, graceful chahtris and ornate jaali screens. The palace also has a modest museum.
known for its monumental caves, Ellora is a World Heritage Site.[1] Ellora represents the epitome of Indian rock-cut architecture. The 34 "caves" – actually structures excavated out of the vertical face of the Charanandri hills – being Buddhist, Hindu and Jain rock cut temples and monasteries, were built between the 5th century and 10th century. The 12 Buddhist (caves 1–12), 17 Hindu (caves 13–29) and 5 Jain (caves 30–34) caves, built in proximity, demonstrate the religious harmony prevalent during this period of Indian history.

According to Wikipedia: "The Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco was designed by Bernard Maybeck, who took his inspiration from Roman and Greek architecture...The sculptured frieze and allegorical figures representing Contemplation, Wonderment and Meditation were created by Ulric Ellerhusen. (The Main Dome building was) one of only two buildings from the exposition not to be demolished dates from an 1894 (world's) fair. A single dome remains from the eight identical structures that were originally constructed. Towering colonnaded walkways linked the buildings on the site, but only a few remain intact.

Te Deum Window, 1948 - detail.
By Christopher Webb (1886-1966).
Memorial Window to Rev George Campbell Ommanney (1850-1936),
In memory of George Campbell Ommanney, priest. Vicar of the parish of St Matthew in this city 1882-1936. The gift of his devoted friend Thomas Clifford Watson.
Christopher Rahere Webb (1886-1966) was a major stained glass artist active from the 1920s into the early 60s. In his small Orchard House Studio in St Albans, with only one or two assistants, he created hundreds of stained glass windows, many replacing ones destroyed by enemy action in the Second World War.
His uncle was the architect Sir Aston Webb (1849-1930) and his older brother, Geoffrey, was also an accomplished stained glass artist.
He was given the second name Rahere in honour of the Augustinian Canon who founded the Priory and Hospital of St Bartholomew the Great in Smithfield. Derelict by the end of the 19th century, the restoration work of the buildings was entrusted to Sir Aston Webb, assisted by his brother Edward who was Churchwarden there and whose passion was architecture. The name 'Rahere' was appropriate for the son of the latter born at this time.
May 11, 2019 - A visit to Frank Lloyd Wright's Frederick C. Robie House just two weeks after the completion of a multi-year $11 million restoration. Located at 5757 S. Woodlawn Ave on The University of Chicago campus.
"Completed in 1910, the house Wright designed for Frederick C. Robie is the consummate expression of his Prairie style. The house is conceived as an integral whole—site and structure, interior and exterior, furniture, ornament and architecture, each element is connected. Unrelentingly horizontal in its elevation and a dynamic configuration of sliding planes in its plan, the Robie House is the most innovative and forward thinking of all Wright’s Prairie houses.
On the exterior, bands of brick and limestone anchor the building to the earth, while overhanging eaves and dramatic cantilevered roofs shelter the residence. The horizontality of the house is reinforced at every level of the design—from the iconic roofline, to the very bricks and mortar of the building itself. Through his use of materials, Wright achieves a remarkable balance of tone and color, as iron-flecked brick harmonizes with the iridescent leaded glass of the windows that encircle the building. Broad balconies and terraces cause interior and exterior space to flow together, while urns and planters at every level were intended to bloom with the seasons.
Leaded Glass doors, Robie House, photography by Tim LongThe expansive living space at the heart of the home is one of the great masterpieces of 20th century architecture and interior design. The light-filled open plan is breathtaking in its simplicity—a single room, comprising a living and dining space, divided only by a central chimney. Doors and windows of leaded glass line the room, flooding the interior with light. Iridescent, colored and clear glass composed in patterns of flattened diamond shapes and diagonal geometries evoke floral forms, while subtly echoing the plan and form of the building. In his design of the Robie House, Wright achieves a dynamic balance between transparency and enclosure, blurring the boundaries between interior space and the world of nature beyond.
In October of 1909, with construction underway at the Robie House, Wright left America for Europe to work on the publication of a substantial monograph of his buildings and projects. The result was the Wasmuth Portfolio of 1910, which introduced Wright’s work to Europe and influenced a generation of international architects. The Robie House would be the last of Wright’s true Prairie houses. On his return from Europe in 1910 Wright would continue to explore the concept of organic architecture but would seek new influences beyond that of the Midwest prairie.
Over the course of the twentieth century, the Robie House experienced a turbulent history of ownership. On his father’s death in 1909, Robie promised to settle his debts and was ultimately forced to sell the house. Two additional families lived at the residence, the Taylors from 1911 to 1912 and the Wilburs from 1912 to 1926. The Wilburs were the last family to live at the Robie House.
Frank Lloyd Wright at the Robie House, 1957, Collection of the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation TrustFor the next seventy years the house would have a checkered existence, serving at times as a classroom building, a refectory, a dormitory, and office space for several organizations. The house was twice threatened with demolition, once in 1941 and then again in 1957. Wright himself campaigned each time to save the building. The Robie House was the only one of Wright’s many creations to inspire this reaction in him.
Wright would go on to create such masterpieces of modern architecture as Fallingwater, in 1939, and the Guggenheim Museum, completed in 1959. The Robie House, however, remains as one of the defining moments of the architect’s career. In 1991, the house was recognized by the American Institute of Architects as one of the ten most significant structures of the twentieth century. Today the Robie House stands as an important part of America’s cultural heritage, a powerful declaration of Wright’s uncompromising vision for a new American architecture.
The Frank Lloyd Wright Trust has completed a comprehensive restoration of the building, revealing Wright's extraordinary 1910 vision." Previous text from the following website: flwright.org/researchexplore/robiehouse

Founded in 1501, the magnificent Jerónimos Monastery (Mosteiro dos Jerónimos) in Lisbon is a great monument to the Age of Discovery and a magnificent example of the Manueline style of architecture. The monastery was founded by King Manuel I in celebration of - and funded by - successful Portuguese voyages around the world.
History of Jeronimos Monastery
In 1496, King Manuel I (1495–1521) asked the pope for permission to build a great monastery in thanks to the Virgin Mary for Vasco de Gama's successful voyage to India. The request was granted and construction began on the Mosteiro dos Jerónimos on January 6, 1501. The project was funded by treasures from explorations in Africa, Asia, and South America, as well as a stiff tax on the Portuguese-controlled spice trade with Africa and the East.
The king hired French architect Diogo de Boitaca (1460-1528; master of the pioneering Igreja de Jesus in Setúbal), who was later succeeded by João de Castilho (1475-1552) of Spain, Diogo de Torralva (c.1500-1566), and Jerónimo de Ruão (1530-1601). The site Manuel chose for the new monastery was on the banks of the Tagus river, replacing a small chapel dedicated to St. Mary of Belém by Henry the Navigator.
King Manuel I named his new foundation the Mosteiro de Santa Maria de Belém and invited the Order of St. Jerome (Hieronymites, or dos Jerónimos) to occupy it. The powerful Hieronymites were known for their contemplative spirituality and productive intellectual output; they also shared the king's political views.
The Hieronymites monk were expected to celebrate daily mass for the souls of Prince Henry the Navigator, King Manuel I and his successors in perpetuity, in addition to hearing confessions and providing spiritual counsel to seamen and navigators who sailed from Belém.
As for the monastery, it would be not only a thank-offering to the Virgin Mary but a lasting monument to the Age of Discovery and the mausoleum of King Manuel I and his successors. The project was completed around 1600, by which time Renaissance and Baroque elements were incorporated into the design.
The 1755 earthquake damaged the monastery but thankfully did not destroy it. Many restoration projects have been undertaken since then, some executed better than others. The Hieronymites occupied the monastery for 400 years until the dissolution of the monasteries in 1833, when the building became state property. It was used as a college for the Casa Pia of Lisbon (a children's charity) until around 1940.
What to See at Jeronimos Monastery
Jerónimos Monastery is an prime example of Manueline architecture, a style unique to Portugal that combines Flamboyant Gothic, Moorish, and early Renaissance influences. It is characterized by an elaborate use of sculptural detail and often includes maritime motifs. Other notable Manueline structures in Portugal include Batalha Monastery and the Templar Convento de Cristo in Tomar.
The main entrance to the monastic church is the south portal, designed by João de Castilho. Occupying the central pillar is a statue of Henry the Navigator. Inside, fragile-looking pillars covered with sculpture support a complex web of lierne vaulting over three aisles. Much of the artwork depicts scenes of St. Jerome, translator of the Vulgate and patron of the Hieronymite order.
The west door leads into the cloisters, where the stonework is even more impressive than the church. Designed by João de Castilho, the cloisters have two levels, the lower one having a groin vault and the most exuberant decoration. Virtually every surface of the arches and pillars are covered in elaborate Manueline sculpture.
Jerónimos Monastery contains the tombs of King Manuel and other Portuguese royalty, as well as many important figures from Portuguese history. Most famous among the latter is Vasco de Gama, whose accomplishments at sea inspired the monastery. Other notables include the romantic poet Herculano (1800-54) and the poet Fernando Pessoa.
Part of the monastic complex is the freestanding Chapel of St. Jerome, built in 1514. It is a small rectangular building with conical pinnacles at the four corners and stone "rope" along the roofline. Gargoyles look out from the corners. From the west doorway, there is a fine view all the way out to sea.

Old telephone exchange building.
The overall plan and the tripartite division of the facade refer to the tradition of public academic architecture prevailing at that time; on the other hand, the rest of the building is an example of neo-romantic architecture.
The former ministry now houses the Belgrade PTT Museum.
