Taken in 2000 while my internship at an architectural firm in Iowa. I (think) I was using an Olympus camera at that time. Film is a Kodak slide film.
Breckfield Road North at Tynemouth Close. Can anyone tell me the name of this pub before it was Turpins? I can't see that as the original name.

Tim, Kevin, Ashley, and I drove to Mobile, AL for our buddy Van's wedding. I was chastized by some church lady for taking this photo, but like always I'm glad I did.
Lawson’s Pond, located in Northern Berkeley County, near Eutawville, is a beautifully preserved 19th century plantation home. Historically a cotton plantation, the house was thought to have been built in preparation for the marriage between Charles Cordes Porcher and Rebecca C. Marion, in 1823.
The style of the house is typical of other houses found in the Upper St. John’s Berkeley Parish. These homes were typically four rooms downstairs, with two front doors, each of which opens onto a principal room. often a living room and dining room. The rear two rooms were divided by a stairwell. Upstairs, four bedrooms were divided by a central hallway.
The house at Lawson’s Pond remains unique as the exterior, constructed of Black Cypress, has never seen a coat of paint since it was built. The only exception is the rear of the home has one coat of paint applied today, but nowhere else. The carvings of the home are exceptionally detailed and intricate. The proportions of the rooms are elegant and conducive for entertaining. The front rooms have wood painted like marble on the fireplace, wainscoting, doors and baseboards.
The house sits atop a seven foot foundation, with thirteen steps leading to an L-shaped front porch which covers the front and side of the home. Ceiling heights on the first floor are 14 feet and 12 feet on the second.
Thomas Waterman, who compiled a list of important structures during the Santee Cooper Hydroelectroc Project, was quoted as saying that “the only house in the area which approaches The Rocks (another local plantation, now lost) in architectural importance is Lawson’s Pond.”
It is important to note that all of the woodwork you see, every intricate piece and detail, was done completely by hand, most likely using slave labor. Skilled craftsmen, possibly one person, created each and every piece with such precision and detail, it would be almost impossible to replicate. Other homes in the area had similar woodwork, Springfield being the most elaborate. Two upstairs rooms were never completed. On the exterior of the home, there is a window and side door that have a different portion of wood at the cornice, which shows they were never completed as well.
The house remains a private residence and is not open to the public without prior permission.

Esta ponte situarava-se no importante eixo viário entre Mérida (Emérita Augusta) e Braga (Bracara Augusta). Teve várias reconstruções ao longo da Idade Média.
A ponte granítica é uma obra prima de engenharia romana, assente sobre arcos ogivais, e tem sofrido diversas alterações e restauros ao longo dos séculos, mantendo-se contudo ainda um marco importante.
