The Boxdorf Windmill is a former windmill built in 1849 in Boxdorf, a district of Moritzburg.
Until 1652, the Boxdorfer and the Reichenberger farmers had to grind their grain in the Plauenschen soil and in the (somewhat closer) Ockrilla Lease Mill. With the Saxon Constitution of 1831, the grinding force fell away.
The first mill at this site, a wooden pint mill, was built in 1839 by the miller Münch from Zuendorf on the Boxdorf Galgenberg (also: Gallberg). The grinding mill was able to grind eight to ten talents of flour daily. In 1847, the mill was sold to Müller Friedrich Wilhelm Seeländer from Weferlingen near Magdeburg. The mill burned down in a thunderstorm in 1849 in full operation.
Friedrich Wilhelm sold the remains to his brother Heinrich Christoph Seeländer and ran the Loschwitz watermill himself. Heinrich Christoph rebuilt the mill in 1849 as a stone, defensive-tower-like Dutch mill. This is testified by a sandstone with an engraved year above the original entrance door. Six years later Friedrich Wilhelm returned to Boxdorf in 1855 and took over the mill again from his brother. Around 1860 the house belonging to the mill was probably destroyed by arson. The existing residential building was then built.
In the German War of 1866, the Saxon Army, allied with Austria, gathered near Dresden and occupied the mill. The miller was no longer allowed to grind grain as a pressing.
Friedrich Wilhelm Seeländer died in 1877 as a result of a war suffering. Since his descendants had other professions or were too young, the mill came into foreign hands. Friedrich Hermann Müller bought the mill with three meals and a bakery for 11,100 marks. A lightning strike on 27 June 1887 did not result in a fire. Nevertheless, the roof, wings and wave were destroyed. Since in the meantime more efficient working machinery companies had taken over the business, a repair was no longer worthwhile. The mill came to a standstill.
The owner Müller was granted a concession for coffee and beer serving in 1890. Müller opened an economy and on the tower of the mill a wooden observation deck. This was replaced in 1904 by the still existing stone structure with pinnacles.
In 1921 Paul Gantze purchased the mill and had an electric grinding plant reached inside. He moved the banquet to the neighbouring apartment building. In 1927 he built a small hall. The property became a popular excursion restaurant that was in operation until the 1950s.
Hydra, built in the shape of an amphitheatre on a slope overlooking the Argosaronic gulf, is one of the most romantic destinations in Greece. Traditional stone mansions, narrow cobblestoned streets, secluded squares and above all the banning of cars and the use of around 500 donkeys as means of public transportation, explain the reason why Hydra preserved its distinctive atmosphere through the passage of time.
The church was built between 1845 and 1885 by the architect Louis van Overstraeten in a romano-byzantine style. The building was listed building by decree of 09/11/1976 and its surroundings with the square by royal decree of 3 October 1983).

Beaumaris, Angelsey, Wales. To think this house was built before Richard III of England was on the throne.
The first town, built by Celts in the first century BC, occupied about 30 hectares along the slopes of Gellért Hill. Archaeological finds suggest that it may have been a densely populated settlement with a separate district of craftsmen (potteries and bronze foundries). It may have been a trading centre as well, as coins coming from different regions would indicate. The town was occupied by the Romans at the beginning of the Christian era. Its inhabitants moved to the Danube plains to a city retaining the Celtic name (Aquincum) in the first century AD. In AD 106, the city became the capital of the Roman province of Pannonia Inferior. The headquarters of the governor and significant military force were stationed here, and its population numbered about 20,000. It was frequently involved in wars on the border of the Roman Empire (formed by the Danube River).
The city of Budapest was officially created on 17 November 1873 from a merger of the three neighboring cities of Pest, Buda and Óbuda. Smaller towns on the outskirts of the original city were amalgamated into Greater Budapest in 1950. ( wikipedia )
Built in 1938 as a Marathon Gas Station, this delightful structure is now the home of the Springfield Bicycle Doctor. In the years between being a gas station and bicycle shop, the building has been occupied as a laundry and dry cleaners, real estate office and, more recently, a barber shop. The current owners, Robert and Cynde LaBonte, purchased the property in early 2012, and have since remodeled the original building for their bicycle sales and repair shop, and have added a small storage building.
Built in 1895, and enlarged a few years later, this gothic architectural style building served for more than seventy-five years as the custodian's residence for Lincoln's tomb at Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield, Illinois. Today the former residence houses site offices.

Sandcastles
We built sand castles that washed away
I made you cry when I walked away
Oh, and although I promised that I couldn't stay, baby
Every promise don't work out that way, oh, babe
Every promise don't work out that way
Dishes smashed on my counter from our last encounter
Pictures snatched out the frame
Bitch, I scratched out your name and your face
What is it about you that I can't erase, baby?
Well every promise don't work out that way, no no, babe
Well every promise don't work out that way
And your heart is broken 'cause I walked away
Show me your scars and I won't walk away
Oh, and I know I promised that I couldn't stay, baby
Every promise don't work out that way, no no no no no
Every promise don't work out that way

Rising tall above ONR's Temagami Subdivision in the "Town That Silver Built", the Right-of-Way Mine headframe pays silent vigil as a trio of EMD's scream through Cobalt, Ont., with Englehart-bound tonnage in tow.
If you should ever find yourself in Cobalt, a visit to the Miner's Tavern is a must; the mysteries of this once-prosperous mining town, and the proud heritage that lies within, can be felt around every corner in the lore-filled barroom.
Built in AD 150, this is the monumental gateway to the Temple of Artemis. It was originally flanked by shops.
You can descend through the temple's gateway, the propylaeum. If you want to get a sense of the complete extent of Jerash, head towards the North Gate for further views.
I walked the world afar
Built up a thousand walls
To try and hide away
I searched to find my soul
A journey far from home
Lost in a life I'd made
And I'd been 'round in circles
Living for the moment
I know I ran so far
Was acting kind of crazy
Coming up with empty
Felt like I lost my heart
Now I've found a love that
Is clearer than the deep blue skies
It's true You were right there
I can see it in the days gone by
I see You in the days gone by
Your promise never left my side
I know sometimes I tried to give up
Still You caught me when I fell from high
I see You in the days gone by
You took my fragile fate
And didn't hesitate
Your love in every scar
Passion with no restraints
Held back the darkest days
So now my life is Yours
You've got me when I'm broken
You're with me when I'm hopeless
I know You're never far
Your mercy has no ending
It perseveres unfailing
You'll always have my heart
Now I've found a love that
Is clearer than the deep blue skies
It's true You were right there
I can see it in the days gone by
I see You in the days gone by
Your promise never left my side
I know sometimes I tried to give up
Still You caught me when I fell from high
I see You in the days gone by
See You in the days gone by
See You in the days gone by
And I need You everyday 'cause
I see You in the days gone by
Your promise never left my side
I know sometimes I tried to give up
Still You caught me when I fell from high
I see You in the days gone by
St Andrew's Church in Winterborne Tomson, Dorset, England, was built in the 12th century. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and is a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It was declared redundant on 1 June 1972, and was vested in the Trust on 26 March 1974.
The small flint and stone Norman Anglican Church of St Andrew has an apse at the east end and a barrel vault roof which curves around it. The roof was replaced and windows inserted in the 16th century. The oak door is heavily studded. The interior has limewashed walls, a 15th-century font and flag stone floor, along with early 18th-century oak fittings. The eighteenth century oak pews, the pulpit, screen, communion rails and matching table with barley sugar turned legs, and other woodwork were provided by William Wake, Archbishop of Canterbury, who had been raised in the village of Shapwick and whose family lived locally. The west end has a late medieval gallery with a panelled front which was probably originally a rood screen. The roof is topped by a small weatherboard belfry which resembles a dovecote.
By the early 20th century, the church had fallen into disrepair and was being used as an animal shelter by a local farmer. Repairs were paid for by the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings who sold a collection of Thomas Hardy’s manuscripts to raise the funding. The work was supervised by A. R. Powys who also oversaw the work at the Old St Cuthbert's Church, Oborne
This Greenhouse was built between 1892 and 1905 by the architect Alfonse Balat for King Leopold II. It has the shape of a church. The iron construction elements are decorated with Art Nouveau floral motifs. The central part is dug with three meter deep pits (1945 and 1987) to accommodate fan palms that have grown too big.

De ''Palmenserre'' werd gebouwd tussen 1892 en 1905 door de architect Alfonse Balat voor Koning Leopold II. Die heeft de vorm van een kerk. Sommige spanten van het metalen gebinte zijn versierd met platen met vegetale motieven in art-nouveaustijl. In het centrale gedeelte zijn drie meter diepe kuilen gegraven (1945 en 1987) om te vermijden dat het gebladerte van de palmen het dak zou doorboren.

The Church was built in 1799 on the former Caminho dos Pinheiros, today Rua da Consolação, with the help of alms from devotees to Our Lady of Consolation and with the endorsement of the diocesan bishop Mateus de Abreu Pereira were able to begin its construction, with the technique of taipa, quite common at the time. The oldest record of its construction is a document transcribed by Jacinto Ribeiro, in which it attributes the idealization of the temple to the faithful Luiz da Silva and his brothers. Located in a boggy and marshy region there is another document proving the Church's ancient existence: on November 23, 1803, an office was registered that showed the need for drinking water for the residents of the neighborhood "Nossa Senhora da Consolação". In view of the custom of baptizing the district with religious names, mainly related to sanctuaries, the Church, besides already existing, corresponded to an important piece for the functioning of the region. And, in the year 1810, a plant in the city of São Paulo contained the chapel.

When Atlanta built this octagon-shaped public library in 1908, it did so through community support rather than receiving a grant from the Carnegie Foundation as many other communities did at the time.
The library design combines the Neoclassical with an octagonal plan, an uncommon mixture of styles. The building's eight sides are all symmetrical except for the front, which is broken by a classical portico with Doric columns and a round arched entrance. The library is topped by a red tile roof.
The library was designed by Paul O. Moratz (1866-1939), a German-born architect who grew up and lived as an adult in nearby Bloomington, Illinois. Moratz is best remembered for his designs of concert halls, schools, libraries, hospitals, and private residences.
The Atlanta Public Library represents a well-maintained example of turn-of-the-century public construction, combining two significant architectural styles: the Octagon Mode and Neo-Classical Revival. The influence of Chicago's 1893-94 Columbia Exposition and the 1901 Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo resulted in the widespread use of the Neo-Classical style in public and quasi-public buildings throughout the nation. The Octagon plan relates historically to the Octagon homes espoused by Orson Squire Fowler in the mid-1800s.
The Atlanta Public Library was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
Atlanta is a city in Logan County, Illinois. The estimated population of Atlanta in 2019 was 1,600. Atlanta is located on Historic US Route 66.
Built in 1921, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places June 6, 1979, and was listed as a Chicago Landmark January 28, 1983.
It's also amazingly impressive on the inside.

Built in 1920, by the Toronto Harbour Commission to oversee the safety of boaters and swimmers, the Leuty Lifeguard Station has become one of the most important historical structures in the Beaches. In the 1980s, the Beach community raised funds to restore the building to its present state. It has been moved 4 times to remain by the water front and is today the most recognized and photographed structure in the Toronto eastern lake front.

During the Albigensian crusade, the City of Béziers was besieged, burned and the inhabitants were massacred.
The fire caused the entire destruction of the cathedral.
Its reconstruction began in the middle of the 13th century.

Built between 1893 and 1903, the Winter Palace is where Mongolia’s eighth Living Buddha, and last king, Jebtzun Damba Hutagt VIII (often called the Bogd Khan), lived.
In the best tradition of all good Buddhists, the man had a passion for killing animals. Here there is a whole museum bristling with the stuffed remains of the exotic animals he slaughtered, not to mention the pelts of those who escaped the taxidermist's attention.
For reasons that are unclear, the palace was spared destruction by the Russians who turned it into a museum. The Russians levelled all his other palaces in the city.
