The Naples National Archaeological Museum (Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli) was founded by Charles III of Spain in the 1750s. The building he used for it had been erected as a cavalry barracks and during its time as the seat of the University of Naples (from 1616 to 1777) was extended, in the late 18th century. (wikipedia)

St Paul's Cathedral is built on the site where the first public Christian service in Melbourne was conducted in 1835. The area of the current site became a corn market until 1848, when it was made available for the construction of St Paul's Parish Church, a bluestone church. St Paul's Parish Church was consecrated in 1852 and was in use until 1885 when it was demolished to make way for the current cathedral.
A distinguished English architect, William Butterfield, designed the cathedral, in the architectural style of Gothic transitional. The foundation stone was laid in 1880 and, on 22 January 1891, the cathedral was consecrated. St Paul's replaced St James Old Cathedral which then stood on the corner of William Street and Collins Street - later moved to a site near the Flagstaff Gardens. To fit the block, the cathedral building is orientated NNW.
The erection of the spires began in 1926, to the design of John Barr of Sydney instead of Butterfield's original design. The 1960s saw extensive work completed to the exterior of the cathedral and the T.C. Lewis organ was restored in 1989 by a major National Trust appeal. Major restoration works were completed in 2009 with significant repairs to the spires, the building of the Moorhouse Tower Lantern and the new processional doors.
St Paul's is built in a revival of the style known as Gothic transitional, being partly Early English and partly Decorated. It was designed by the distinguished English architect William Butterfield, who was noted for his ecclesiastical work. The foundation stone was laid in 1880. Butterfield never saw the site and the building work was frequently delayed by disputes between Butterfield in England and the church authorities in Melbourne. Butterfield resigned in 1884 and the building was finished by a local architect, Joseph Reed. Consequently the design of the spires differs greatly from those originally planned (similar to those built at Christ Church, South Yarra). The cathedral chapter has a scale model of the original completed design.
The cathedral was consecrated on 22 January 1891, but the building of the spires did not begin until 1926.
" It's a dream many Americans can relate to: You retire after years of hard work and move to a small, secluded retreat in the woods.
That's exactly what our third president, Thomas Jefferson, did in 1809, when he left public office and took his first extended stay at Poplar Forest, a plantation retreat near Lynchburg, Va. He made his last visit in 1823 at age 81.
The home he designed there was the first octagonal house in America. It's considered an architectural masterpiece and is a National Historic Landmark."

Palais Starhemberg, now BMUKK (Federal Ministry for Education, Arts and Culture - and Education and Women, last bot not least!)
Property ID: 50447 Friars Minor square 5
Cadastral Community: Inner City. The palace is next to the Leopoldine Wing of the Hofburg the only surviving example of early Baroque palace architecture in Vienna. It was built in 1661-1667 under the influence of northern Italian Mannerism. 1820 was carried out by Alois Ludwig Pichl a reconstruction in late classical style of the interior rooms. It is a free-standing cubic building block with additive windows lining up (on the upper floor the windows have interrupted segment gable overroofings) and pilaster strip structuring, the roof is rhythmicized by dormers. The banded half-column portal with interrupted segment gable was not until 1895 transposed to the center. In column vestibule and in the hallway there are statues of Josef Klieber.
Palais Starhemberg, heute BMUKK (Bundesministerium für Unterricht, Kunst und Kultur - und Bildung und Frauen)
Objekt ID: 50447 Minoritenplatz 5
Katastralgemeinde: Innere Stadt. Das Palais ist neben dem Leopoldinischen Trakt der Hofburg das einzige erhaltene Beispiel frühbarocker Palastarchitektur in Wien. Es wurde 1661-1667 unter Einfluss des oberitalienischen Manierismus erbaut. 1820 erfolgte ein spätklassizistischer Umbau der Innenräume durch Alois Ludwig Pichl. Es ist ein freistehender kubischer Baublock mit additiver Fensterreihung (im Obergeschoß haben die Fenster gesprengte Segment-giebel-verdachungen) und Lisenengliederung, das Dach ist durch Gaupen rhythmisiert. Das gebänderte Halbsäulenportal mit gesprengtem Segmentgiebel wurde erst 1895 in die Mitte versetzt. Im Säulenvestibül und im Stiegenhaus befinden sich Statuen von Josef Klieber.
