Defend the Ann Arbor 7
at the south end of 7 historic homes considered for demolition to build the proposed development of a 5 story condomium, 100 unit structure... the text and history of thes historic resources written and researched by Susan Wineberg,
437 S. Fifth Ave.
Built in 1866 in a vernacular Greek Revival style by John McCarthy, it was sold to the Thomas Taylor family in 1870. An old photograph from the late 19th century can be found in the papers of Nellie Hamilton Ornbaum (widow of Mayor Francis Hamilton who lived at 427 S. Fifth) at the Bentley Library. This house was also protected as an Individual Historic Property in 1994, but the IHP Ordinance was overturned in 2001 by the Circuit Court. The nomination for this property from 1994 states “With its neighbors, it is a key part of one of the most intact Victorian (19th and early 20th century) streetscapes in the downtown area.”

Our church house in Loftus was solidly built and well appointed by 1960s standards. But it had its quirks - it was a real hothouse in summer and not really up to Sydney's rainfall.
During our 6.5 years there the upstairs stayed perfectly dry during the many times of heavy rain. But the rain washed not only down the sides of the house in great torrents but also through the basement, where everything in storage had to be raised off the floor.

Really liked this greenhouse on the 3rd floor, wedged in between other buildings in a gentrifying neighborhood. I want one. Philadelphia, PA
So beauitiful. Marble floors and lily patterned relief work on wall. Walls and ceilings inlaid with mirror and semi precious stones.
Key colors are muted tones of red, orange or yellow.
Carved wood furnishings and leather or natural fabric upholstery items.
Consider adding wooden ceiling beams; they strongly convey the native and Spanish overtones of this style.
Tile floors are fundamental in southwest interior design style. Terra cotta tile is a traditional choice, but other types of natural stone tile work great, too.
Layer your tile floor with multi-colored or simple, woven rugs for best effect

Begun in 1480 by William Hastings during the period of the War Of The Roses. It was never finished due to his execution in 1483 for treason by Richard III.
Cracking view of Lincoln Cathedral from the window of the Castle.
Lincoln Castle is a major castle constructed in Lincoln, England during the late 11th century by William the Conqueror on the site of a pre-existing Roman fortress.
Lincoln Cathedral is a cathedral located in Lincoln in England and seat of the Bishop of Lincoln in the Church of England. Building commenced in 1088 and continued in several phases throughout the medieval period.
Both are well worth a visit. As is the beautiful centre of town itself, especially over the weekend when a market takes over the space between the Castle and Cathedral.
ancient Toos region is located between two mountain chains, Hezar Masjed in the north and Binalood in the south. mounds and large sites of Toos region shows its importancy and validity in prehistoric period. it considered four main cities in this area, Tabaran, Nowghan, Radkan and Toroghbaz. Tabaran was the greatest. it overshadowed the other cities of the region.
in 1200 Quzes detroyed the city, and then in 1220 it was completley ravaged by Mongols. but after a few decades it was reconstructed.
finally in 1388 Miranshah the son of Taymor crushed this city and gradually Tabaran was forgotten.
this building that is called Harroonieh, is the oldest and the last monument of the disappeared city. it is reconstructed in 1942.
Ronda, one of Andalucia's top tourist destinations …. and rightly so! Of course, there's the famous 'Puente Nuevo', a bridge spanning the deep 'El Tajo' gorge affording incomparable views of the surrounding mountains. Then there's Ronda's famous bullring, reputably the oldest in Spain but certainly one of the most beautiful. But this town of 35,000 situated about 60km west of and an hour and a half drive from the provincial capital, Malaga, has much more to offer. There are a wealth of imposing churches; of which the 'Iglesia Santa Maria la Mayor' is arguably its most impressive with a blend of architectural styles including a beautiful Renaissance choir and a stunning balustraded west facade. Ronda has other monuments, too, as well as ancient palaces, elegant squares and quiet, shady parks. However, for some, the real attraction of Ronda is just wandering around its narrow streets and taking in the atmosphere of this truly memorable location. Finally, for those of that disposition, Ronda has, in Calle Espinel, a street full of good and varied shops! There are plenty more photos of Ronda and other Spanish towns/locations if you take a look at my 'Albums' page, www.flickr.com/photos/36623892@N00/sets/ - thank you.

Pavilion Château St. Gerlach estate - Mecanoo Architects - 2013-2017
Château St. Gerlach is an estate in Valkenburg near Maastricht, the Netherlands, situated in the middle of the hilly Limburg countryside: a unique complex with a luxury hotel, restaurant and spa. Mecanoo Architects designed an elegant pavilion which balances the historic buildings on the site. The pavilion completes the ensemble of the Château (1661), the St. Gerlachus Church (1727), the Farmstead (1759) and the Manor Farm (1668). The estate is now clearly visible from the public road, and has gained new significance for the village of Houthem.
“The design for the St. Gerlach Pavilion features a cantilevered roof with a beautiful curve. The materials used are inspired by the natural surroundings of Limburg: marlstone, bluestone and oak,” said Francine Houben, founding partner and creative director of Mecanoo architecten. “From the pavilion, guests will have diverse views over the château, the hills, the meadow and the manor farm.”
The three large multifunctional meeting rooms in the state of the art pavilion can be used separately or combined, offering a unique location for a variety of meetings and events. The manor farm, a national monument from 1668, has been renovated to house small meeting rooms as well as a café to have lunch or coffee. This new public function serves the local community. An intimate 'village square' between the pavilion and the manor farm can be used as an outdoor extension of the foyer
On our drive down to Panama City Beach we pass through Eufaula on highway 431.
It's odd because the busy highway funnels through this completely out of place area with these great-looking homes. I'm not sure why there is no bypass, but this time we decided to stop and take pictures of some of the wonderful houses along the road.
