Elder Street in Spitalfields was leased for building in 1722, and No. 15 was built in 1727. It was originally only one room deep but was given an extension with staircase during building. The house is built of dark-red brick with rubbed brick dressings. The wooden doorcase has panelled reveals, and fluted Doric pilasters as seen here (but described as plain in the 1950 listing document).
The pilgrimage church of Wies (German: Wieskirche) is an oval rococo church, designed in the late 1740s by Dominikus Zimmermann, who spent the last eleven years of his life in a nearby dwelling. It is located in the foothills of the Alps, the Steingaden municipality of the Weilheim-Schongau district, Bavaria, Germany.
In 1738 tears were seen on a dilapidated wooden figure of the Scourged Saviour. This miracle resulted in a pilgrimage rush to see the sculpture. In 1740 a small chapel was built to house the statue, but it was soon realized that the building would be too small for the number of pilgrims it attracted, and thus Steingaden Abbey decided to commission a separate shrine. Many people who have prayed in front of the statue of Jesus on the altar have claimed that people have been miraculously cured of their diseases, which has made this church even more of a pilgrimage site.
In contrast to the riotous interior, the exterior of the church does not display the ostentatious theatricality and striving for effect typical of that time.
In contrast to the riotous interior, the exterior of the church does not display the ostentatious theatricality and striving for effect typical of that time.
Construction took place between 1745 and 1754, and the interior was decorated in stuccowork in the tradition of the Wessobrunner School. "Everything was done throughout the church to make the supernatural visible. Sculpture and murals combined to unleash the divine in visible form"[1]. The church, commonly regarded as Zimmermann's final masterpiece, was secularized in the beginning of the 19th century. Subsequently, protests of local farmers saved this jewel of rococo architecture and design from being sold and demolished. The Wieskirche was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1983 and underwent massive restoration in 1985-91.

The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and of St. Joseph was built between 1661 and 1681 in Baroque style. It was designed by J. Belloti and founded by King Władysław IV.

The British Columbia Parliament Building was completed in 1897. It is a beautiful example of the Baroque and Romanesque Revival styles of architecture.
43, King Street, Westminster, was built for Admiral Russell, 1st earl of Orford, in 1716-17, probably to designs by Thomas Archer. The house is of brick with stone dressings, the painted stucco being added at a later date. It has three storeys with an attic and basement. The facade has four giant Composite fluted pillasters on rusticated piers at ground-floor level. The centre is three windows wide, with narrower flanking bays containing two windows (2:3:2). The entablature comes forward above capitals with dosserets. The windows at the centre (seen here) have elliptical arches and impost strings at first and second-floor levels, but originally they were divided by sunken strips.
Trajan's Column is covered in a relief depicting Trajan's victories over the Dacians, which wraps around the entire column in a continuous narrative strip. Despite my assumption that the figure on top would be Trajan, you can always rely upon Christians to destroy heritage and history and replace it with their own religious idols. St Peter replaced Trajan in 1587, after the nude statue of Trajan disappeared at some point in the Middle Ages. The column was originally topped, however, not by Trajan, but by an eagle.
The gorgeous Baroque structure to the left is Chiesa del Santissimo Nome di Maria al Foro Traiano, a Catholic church built here in 1736-1751.
Grand kitchen pots and pans storage, enough to prepare a very fine meal.
