St. Andrew's United Church is an important part of Nanaimo's Old City Quarter. From the City's Heritage Register: "Built in 1893, St. Andrew’s United Church is a good example of Late Victorian church architecture. The church follows the square floor plan with second floor horseshoe gallery typical of Late Victorian Presbyterian churches, its original denomination. A large hall at the rear, built in 1927, features a two-storey auditorium with a balcony. The church retains much of its original character despite some later alterations, most notably a stucco finish over the original brick walls."
Located in southern Athens, between the Acropolis and the Ilissos river, the Olympeion was the sanctuary of Olympian Zeus. Here stands one of the greatest ancient temples of Zeus and, according to Vitruvius, one of the most famous marble buildings ever constructed. The sanctuary's foundation is attributed to mythical Deukalion. The site also comprises the temple of Apollo Delphinios - the sanctuary of Apollo Delphinios was traditionally associated with Theseus - and a tripartite building with a south courtyard of ca. 500 BC. The latter has been identified as the Delphinion Court, which was allegedly founded by Aegeas.
The site of the Olympeion was a place of worship of chthonic deities and of ancient Athenian heroes Athens since prehistory. Peisistratus the Young initiated the construction of a monumental temple in 515 BC, but failed to complete his project because of the fall of tyranny. The temple remained unfinished for approximately 400 years, until Antiochus IV Epiphanes resumed its construction in 174 BC. It was completed in AD 124/125 by Emperor Hadrian, who associated himself with Zeus and adopted the title of Olympios. A large poros temple dedicated to Apollo Delphinios was also built on the site around 450 BC. It was abandoned in the third century AD. The temple was Doric peripteral with two columns in antis on the front and back. In the second century AD, Hadrian built a Roman temple of the Doric order, with a built enclosure and an outdoor altar, probably of Kronos or Rea. A Roman peristyle for the meetings of the Chapter of the Panhelleloi was also constructed in the same area, and a possible residence of a prominent member of the Chapter was added on the rock of the Olympian Land in the Late Roman period.

Part III
Complex
The castle complex includes the main building with a chapel and the former princely stables and main guard house at the entrance (1793 according to plans of architect Johann Henrici built by princely master builder Joseph Ringer). There is also located a listed portal and the fountain Emerikusbrunnen (late 19th century).
Castle Park
The east and north of the castle laid out flower and kitchen garden was in the 18th century baroquisized and after the purchase of additional land at the beginning of the 19th century in the course of the remodeling of the palace by Moreau transformed into an extensive English landscape park. The in the first half of the 19th century completed Orangery at that time was in addition to Schönbrunn among the largest and most modern greenhouses with representative character. On an artificial rock hill stands the temple of Leopoldine, named after a Esterházy Princess, in it a designed by Antonio Canova sculpture of the Princess can be seen. In the eastern part of the park, from the Castle more distant, a small football stadium and a public swimming pool were built in the 20th century. The park whose tree population has rarities that are provided with information boards has been carefully restored by experts.
The park is one of the most important architectural garden monuments in Austria and is a listed one (no. 2 in the annex to § 1 section 12 DMSG and in the list of monuments).
Anlage
Der Schlosskomplex umfasst das Hauptgebäude mit Schlosskapelle und das ehemalige fürstliche Stall- und Hauptwachgebäude im Eingangsbereich (1793 nach Plänen des Architekten Johann Henrici vom fürstlichen Baumeister Joseph Ringer errichtet). Dort findet sich auch ein denkmalgeschütztes Portal und der Emerikusbrunnen (Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts).
Schlosspark
Der östlich und nördlich des Schlosses angelegte Blumen- und Küchengarten wurde im 18. Jahrhundert barockisiert und nach dem Zukauf weiterer Grundstücke zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts von Moreau im Zuge des Schlossumbaues zum weitläufigen englischen Landschaftspark umgestaltet. Die in der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts vollendete Orangerie zählte damals neben Schönbrunn zu den größten und modernsten Gewächshausanlagen mit Repräsentationscharakter. Auf einem künstlichen Felshügel steht der nach einer Esterházy-Prinzessin benannte Leopoldinentempel, in ihm ist eine von Antonio Canova gestaltete Skulptur der Prinzessin zu sehen. Im östlichen, vom Schloss weiter entfernten Teil des Parks wurden im 20. Jahrhundert ein kleines Fußballstadion und ein öffentliches Schwimmbad errichtet. Der Park, dessen Baumbestand mit Informationstafeln versehene Raritäten aufweist, wird derzeit von Experten behutsam restauriert.
Der Park gehört zu den bedeutendsten gartenarchitektonischen Denkmalen Österreichs und steht unter Denkmalschutz (Nr. 2 im Anhang zu § 1 Abs. 12 DMSG und in der Denkmalliste).

During World War II, servicemen would buy and leave a bottle in the care of the bartender so that the next soldier from their squadron could enjoy a free drink, the only requirement being that whoever had the last sip would buy the next bottle. The soldiers gathered before shipping out for one last toast to the Golden Gate Bridge, believing that the bridge was good luck and would bring them home. As they sailed off under the Golden Gate, wives and sweethearts would draw together in the lounge’s northwest corner, where they would tearfully gaze out the windows. This corner became known as the “Weepers’ Corner.”

When we were in L.A. recently, we were very fortunate to have the opportunity to tour two A.Quincy Jones houses with architect and designer Cory Bruckner who is the author of A. Quincy Jones,her husband, architect Nick Roberts, and several other architectural historians. She also gave us a grand tour of other case study houses in the neighborhood.
These are in no particular order and I have more to add later and also a Frank Lloyd Wright house from the neighborhood. I also never purported to be an architecture photographer!
But SpinsLPs is. Go check his stream out!
Many of the other A. Quincy Jones houses are listed in this guide of Things to do in L.A.
