Great Ormond Street was developed by Nicholas Barbon from 1686 onwards, and continued after his death by Sir William Millman. The houses at the east end of the street date from 1710-15. No. 7 was built by John Cooper and Edward Chapman. It is of brown brick with red brick dressings, and has four storeys with a basement. The windows have gauged brick flat arches and later recessed sash windows. There are brick bands at first- and second-floor levels, and a stone cornice at third-floor level.

Plasterwork ceiling in the Queen's Bedchamber at Ham House. The core of the house was built by Thomas Vavasour, a naval captain, between 1608 and 1610. It had an H-plan and was of standard Jacobean type, built of brick with stone dressings, but was much altered in the later seventeenth century. In 1626 the house was acquired by William Murray, a courtier close to Charles I, who modernised it in 1637-39. Murray supported the king during the Civil War and was created earl of Dysart in 1651 but died in 1655 before the Restoration. Following the death of Murray's wife, Katherine Bruce, in 1649, the house passed to their eldest daughter, Elizabeth Dysart, who had married Sir Lionel Tollemache in 1648. After his death in 1669 she married John Maitland, 2nd earl of Lauderdale, a member of Charles II's cabal, and Secretary of State for Scotland. Between 1672 and 1674 they employed the gentleman architect Sir William Samwell to add a new south front to Ham with matching suites of apartments for themselves on the ground floor and a state apartment for Catherine of Braganza on the floor above. The plasterwork ceilings in the south apartments, including the Queen's Bedchamber, as seen here, date from around 1674 and look back to the style of Inigo Jones and the earlier ceilings in the house by Joseph Kinsman.

STA. CRUZ CHURCH, MANILA
The church was first established by the Jesuit Order on June 20, 1619, made of stone and wood. Then, the Jesuits brought the Image of Our Lady of Pilar to the place where its population was predominantly Chinese-Filipino people. After the Second World War, the church was left in ruins except for its bell tower and pieces of its facade.
But, the Jesuits together with concerned citizens were able to restore the church to its present state in 1957, which was designed to reflect the Spanish baroque style. Architects Juan Nakpil and Sons generously donated their services to remodel the sanctuary. Today, the church is undergoing renovation.

Doorcase with broken pediment and bust on the staircase landing at Ham House. The core of the house was built by Thomas Vavasour, a naval captain, between 1608 and 1610. It had an H-plan and was of standard Jacobean type, built of brick with stone dressings, but was much altered in the later seventeenth century. In 1626 the house was acquired by William Murray, a courtier close to Charles I, who modernised it in 1637-39. The staircase and suite of first floor rooms leading from it date from this period (the Round Gallery, North Drawing Room, Long Gallery and Green Closet). The design and furnishing of these rooms was directed by Franz Cleyn, the Danish artist who worked for Charles I. The woodwork of the hall and staircase is decorated with panels containing trophies of arms, such as halbards, muskets and blunderbusses. The newel posts have baskets of fruit. The doorcases with broken pediments and busts are by the joiner, Thomas Carter. Murray supported the king during the Civil War and was created earl of Dysart in 1651 but died in 1655 before the Restoration. Following the death of Murray's wife, Katherine Bruce, in 1649, the house passed to their eldest daughter, Elizabeth Dysart, who had married Sir Lionel Tollemache in 1648. After his death in 1669 she married John Maitland, 2nd earl of Lauderdale, a member of Charles II's cabal, and Secretary of State for Scotland.

A canted bay with sash windows of 1672-74 added to the core of the earlier building with mullion and transom windows at Ham House. The house was built by Thomas Vavasour, a naval captain, between 1608 and 1610. It had an H-plan and was of standard Jacobean type, built of brick with stone dressings, but was much altered in the later seventeenth century.

Some of Vavasour's house remains visible on the north front. Some of the windows on the north front retain their stone mullions and transoms. The modillion cornice replaced the original gables. The canted bays (that replaced earlier turrets ending with ogee caps) on this front have sash windows, as does the south front (1672-74) which has sashes dating from the 1730s.
