Built in 1854, Cockspur Lighthouse is located on an islet off Cockspur Island at the South Channel of the Savannah River by Lazaretto Creek. It was heavily damaged by a storm in 1881 and only stayed lit until 1909, due to infrequent use of the south channel.
It is also one of the five surviving historic lighthouses in Georgia and was relit in March 2007. Considered part of Fort Pulaski National Monument, it is open to the public, but no official tours are made. As a result of high tide flooding, crossing by land to the lighthouse is not advisable, so access is most often by small boat or kayak.
So, I was thrilled when the dolphin tour we'd booked took us past this beautiful lighthouse, giving us a wonderful view of it. A sight which I never dreamed would be possible.

Built in 1987 this Soo Line SD60 leads a southbound BN around the yard at Galesburg. The 1st 21 of these units were return to lessor and went into the lease pool for CEFX. 13 of them ended up at INRD, but this one did not. It wasn't too uncommon for SOO/CP power to run thru on potash trains bound for unloading on BN, as is the case here with nice pair of SOO 60's in charge.

The Sceptre MK III, introduced in 1967, as a top of the range derivative of the Rootes Arrow Series. It continued Humber's tradition of building luxury cars and featured wood-veneer fascia, complete instrumentation, adjustable steering column, vinyl roof and extra brightwork on the wheel arches and rear panel. The MK III had a more powerful version of the 1,725 cc (105.3 cu in) engine with twin carburettors giving 87 bhp (88 PS). The manual-gearbox model featured either the D-type or the later J-type Laycock De Normanville overdrive. As with all models in the Arrow range, an automatic gearbox was an option. A closer ratio G-type gearbox was fitted to later Sceptres, using the J-type overdrive. An estate car variant of the Sceptre was introduced at the London Motor Show in October 1974. It featured a built-in roof rack and a carpeted loading floor protected by metal strips and illuminated by an additional interior light. Washer and wiper were provided for the rear window, a rare feature on UK-market estate cars of the time

Built in 1878, the Romanesque Revival Bromfield School, known fondly as Old Bromfield was the gift of Margaret Bromfield Blanchard in a bequest to create a secondary school on property her grandfather, Colonel Henry Bromfield, had used for his summer home since 1767 until his home burned in 1855. The school has moved next door to a modern facility and the school was restored with an addition in 2007 to become the home of the Harvard Public Library. The property enjoys a view of the 316 acre Bare Hill Pond seen in the background.
Built by the Newcastle Manufacturing Company in Delaware in 1848, B&O #57,"Memnon" is one of just a small handful of surviving steam locomotives from the 1840s. One of 6 such engines ordered by the railroad, Memnon and her sisters featured a new, 0-8-0 wheel arrangement, and were one of the earliest designs specifically built as heavy freight locomotives. They featured blind, center drivers to allow the long wheel base to negotiate sharp curves. This engine served the B&O during the U. S. Civil War, hauling troops and equipment for the Federal Army and in the latter part of its service life, was affectionately known as "The Old War Horse." Retired from service in 1892, the engine was restored for exhibition and was designated a National Historic Landmark. It is considered by the B&O Museum to be among the least altered locomotives in its historic collection.
Built in 1920, by the St. Louis Car Co, The Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light Company (from 1938, The Milwaukee Electric Railway and Transport Company) #846 lays over at the Elegant Farmer Station.
It was great seeing it used for the Christmas Train.
The Hotel Jacaranda is the picture of Southern repose. Built in the 1920s and listed on the National Historic Register, Avon Park’s “gracious lady” boasts high ceilings and quiet hallways. In years gone by, the Jacaranda played hostess to the likes of Babe Ruth and Clark Gable.
As a true example of living history, The Hotel Jacaranda is one of the oldest continuously operating hotels in Highlands County. When the Hotel Jacaranda opened in 1926, it took its name from a 150-year-old jacaranda tree that had been removed to make way for the hotel. Among its first guests were members of the St. Louis Cardinals, who came to Avon Park for spring training from 1927 to 1929. Photos of its famous guests, from Babe Ruth to Hollywood celebrities George Burns and Gracie Allen, adorn its hallways. During World War II, the grand hotel played a hand in the war effort by housing hundreds of servicemen who had come to the area to train as military pilotsIn 1988, the South Florida State College Foundation, Inc., purchased the Hotel Jacaranda with an eye toward preserving its historic character. As part of that ongoing effort, the
Foundation has undertaken a major restorative project that is returning a street-level business mall to its original design. Through a partnership with South Florida State College, culinary students perfect their talents by training in the Hotel Jacaranda’s modern kitchen.

Built in 1850 Prospect Harbor Lighthouse has seen a lot of traffic. It was briefly deactivated from 1859-1870, but is in use today guiding lobster and sardine fishermen home.
The Lighthouse and grounds belong to the US navy and house overnight stays for active and retired military. the grounds are off limit to tourists for security reasons.
Those that have stayed at the keeper’s quarters have mentioned some paranormal activity occurring quite frequently. It seems that a small statue of a sea captain, located out of reach on a high ledge at the top of the stairs is consistently being moved facing the stairs one time, then the occupants will notice the statue would be moved to face the sea another time. Some guests have claimed to have seen a ghost like figure at night.

Built 1832-36 and located at no. 100 University Street East.
"The building at 100 University Street East, commonly known as Victoria College, is situated on a rise of land at the northern terminus of College Street in the Town of Cobourg. The three-storey brick and stucco building was designed in the Greek Revival Style by architect Edward Crane and was constructed from 1832 to 1836.
The exterior of the building and the scenic character of the property are protected by an Ontario Heritage Trust conservation easement. The property is also designated by the Town of Cobourg under Part IV (By-law 11-88) and Part V (By-law 27-90) of the Ontario Heritage Act.
Located upon a rise of land near the northeast edge of the town, Victoria College is one of Cobourg's most prominent and recognizable buildings. It is situated on the north side of University Street East at the terminus of College Street, which allows for a scenic view of the building from the southern limits of the town at Lake Ontario. The building is also situated at the northeast edge of Cobourg's Heritage District, which protects the heritage character of all of the properties bounding the viewscape along College Street.
Victoria College is historically significant for its association with Egerton Ryerson, its contributions as an early educational institution and its various uses as a medical treatment facility throughout the 20th century. The history of the building dates back to 1832 when construction first began with money collected from the Upper Canada constituents of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The cost for erecting the building was estimated at between $25,000 and $30,000, so when it was realized that expenditures would be closer to $40,000, construction was put on hold. Funds were eventually raised and the building was officially opened in 1836 with Reverend Egerton Ryerson serving as the school's first president. Although the building was originally opened as Upper Canada Academy, a school offering pre-university instruction to both sexes, it became Victoria College in 1841 when it received Royal Charter from Queen Victoria. With this distinction, Victoria College became the second institution in Upper Canada to receive degree-granting powers. Following a split in the Methodist Church, Victoria College merged with Albert College in 1884 to form Victoria University. Six years later, Victoria University declared federation with the University of Toronto and in 1892 the university left Cobourg for permanent residence in Toronto. In 1897, the vacant building was sold to the Government of Ontario and in 1900 it began operations as the Cobourg Insane Asylum to alleviate overcrowding at the seven other provincial asylums. The onset of WW I resulted in the transformation of the building to the Cobourg Military Convalescent Hospital and a large number of wounded soldiers were treated at the site until 1920 when it became the Ontario Hospital D'Arcy Place. The building maintained this use until 1970 and it is currently operated as a retirement living centre.
Victoria College is architecturally significant as an excellent early example of Greek Revival design. When construction commenced on the building in 1832, this style was only beginning to come into fashion and its future importance to the design of large public buildings was unknown. The College, which was designed and built by Edward Crane, was originally composed of a central three-storey block flanked by two-storey end pavilions with the west pavilion built to accommodate females and the east pavilion to accommodate males. Due to the complex history of the building, it experienced various alterations and additions over the years. The conversion of the building into an asylum at the end of the 19th Century, as overseen by Provincial Architect F.R. Heakes, resulted in the most dramatic changes with the addition of a third storey to the east and west pavilions and extensions to their rears. Despite the additions, the triple-pedimented profile remained intact and the large entrance portico and cupola continued to function as the building's most prominent features. The conversion of the building to a convalescent hospital also resulted in major alterations, with a large wing designed by W.L Symons added to the north end of the building and an even larger “H-shaped” wing added to the east end. The H-shaped wing was demolished in 1987." - info from Historic Places.
"Cobourg (/ˈkoʊbɜːrɡ/ KOH-burg) is a town in the Canadian province of Ontario, located in Southern Ontario 95 km (59 mi) east of Toronto and 62 km (39 mi) east of Oshawa. It is the largest town in and seat of Northumberland County. Its nearest neighbour is Port Hope, 7 km (4 mi) to the west. It is located along Highway 401 (exits 472 and 474) and the former Highway 2 (now Northumberland County Road 2). To the south, Cobourg borders Lake Ontario. To the north, east and west, it is surrounded by Hamilton Township.
The land which present-day Cobourg occupies was previously inhabited by Mississauga (Anishinaabe-speaking) peoples. The settlements that make up today's Cobourg were founded by United Empire Loyalists in 1798 within Northumberland County, Home District, Province of Upper Canada. Some of the founding fathers and early settlers were Eliud Nickerson, Joseph Ash, Zacheus Burnham and Asa Allworth Burnham. The Town was originally a group of smaller villages such as Amherst and Hardscrabble, which were later named Hamilton. In 1808 it became the district town for the Newcastle District. It was renamed Cobourg in 1819, in recognition of the marriage of Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales to Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld (later Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, who would later become King of Belgium).
By the 1830s, Cobourg had become a regional centre, mostly due to its fine harbour on Lake Ontario. In 1835 the Upper Canada Academy was established in Cobourg by Egerton Ryerson and the Wesleyan Conference of Bishops. On 1 July 1837, Cobourg was officially incorporated as a town. In 1841 the Upper Canada Academy's name was changed to Victoria College. In 1842 Victoria College was granted powers to confer degrees. Victoria College remained in Cobourg until 1892, when it was moved to Toronto and federated with the University of Toronto. In 1842, John Strachan founded the Diocesan Theological Institute in Cobourg, an Anglican seminary that became integrated into the University of Trinity College in Toronto in 1852." - info from Wikipedia.

Built in the 1500s, these windmills were constructed to mill flour during the Venetian period, and remain well-preserved today. The windmills are cylindrical structures clad in limewash with thatch roofs, and feature wooden and fabric blades, with six windmills standing on a hilltop overlooking the Mediterranean above Little Venice. Today, the windmills are preserved as a picturesque historical site and tourist draw in the Chora, or main town.
Built in 1975, it is one of the first public housing developments in Hong Kong. The surrounding is among the best of all public rental buildings – sitting on the slop of the hill, you can get the view of the Victorian Harbor.
Lai Tak Tsuen estate was named after the former Hong Kong Government officer Michael Wrigh, whose contribution to public housing development includes adding individual toilet and kitchen into each flat, which used to be shared publicly in previous public housings.

The Gulfstream Hotel is a historic hotel in Lake Worth Beach, Florida. It is located at 1 Lake Avenue. On January 11, 1983, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
Originally built in 1923, the hotel was mostly owned by the families of Gen. Richard C Marshall and Col. H.Cabel Maddox. From 1941 to 1971, it was managed by Ben Pease. After Pease retired, William R. Donnell, along with his wife Ellen, son Rick, and daughters Beth and Carol ran the operations until 1992.
A book was written about the classic hotel in 1976 titled "The Gulfstream Hotel Story" by Glenn Ingram. Ingram was a career CPA from Chicago who spent many winters at The Gulfstream with his wife Nelle.
Ceebraid-Signal Corp Lake Worth purchased the hotel in 2005 for $12.9 million. It was the target of a foreclosure lawsuit.

Built in 1893-1895, this Flemish Renaissance Revival-style building was designed by Henry C. Koch and Company to serve as Milwaukee City Hall, and was the city’s tallest building, as well as one of the tallest buildings in the world, upon its completion. The building stands 15 stories and 353 feet (108 meters) tall, and was the tallest building in Milwaukee and the state of Wisconsin until 1973, when the First Wisconsin Center (now known as the US Bank Center) was completed. The building is clad in orange brick with a stone base, stone trim, one-over-one windows with transoms, a vaulted entrance porch with arched openings, arched bays, carved relief panels at the spandrels, stone spandrels, a tower at the south end of the building with an open belfry, flemish renaissance-style gables at the clock faces of the tower, a hipped roof atop the tower with a cylindrical lantern with a domed roof, cornices with modillions, wall dormers, a hipped roof, a fire escape mounted to the east side of the building, and a lantern at the north end of the building. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The building today remains in use as Milwaukee City Hall.
The original Boynton High School, completed in 1927, was designed by the architect William Manly King and was built by Chalker, Lund and Crittenden. King was the architect for a number of Palm Beach County schools and other notable buildings including the Armory Building in Lake Worth. The design incorporates many architectural features associated with the Mediterranean Revival style; however, there are also elements of the then up and coming Art Deco style which was introduced in the 1920s.
Externally, the building retains many interesting architectural features including columns and urns at the arched entrances, cast stone twisted pilasters, and cartouches on the two corner towers which depict heraldic shields, wreaths, and torches. Internally, the building retains its original wood floors and gymnasium.

History
Built in 1939, the Spitfire was delivered to No. 19 Squadron at RAF Duxford in April 1940, where it was assigned the fuselage codes 'QV'.
On May 26, 1940, during the Dunkirk evacuation, the squadron's commanding officer, Squadron Leader Geoffrey Stephenson, flew N3200 to provide air cover for Allied troops.
The crash: After shooting down a German Ju-87 Stuka dive-bomber, Stephenson's Spitfire was hit by enemy fire, damaging its radiator. He was forced to make a belly landing on Sangatte beach near Calais.
Discovery: Stephenson was captured and spent the rest of the war as a prisoner, including a period in Colditz Castle. His Spitfire sank into the sand and was buried by the tides for over 45 years. It was finally revealed by strong currents in 1986.
Restoration: The wreckage was excavated, and though few original parts were salvageable, the airframe was acquired by Mark One Partners in 2000 for a full restoration. The work was conducted by Historic Flying Limited at Duxford and involved combining the original parts with newly manufactured components to meet the aircraft's early specifications. The Spitfire was given the UK civil registration G-CFGJ.
Return to flight: The restored Spitfire N3200 flew for the first time in 74 years on March 26, 2014, taking off from its original base at Duxford.
Museum ownership: In July 2015, on the 75th anniversary of the Dunkirk crash, the aircraft was donated to the Imperial War Museum. Prince William attended the official handover ceremony at Duxford.
Significance and current status
Spitfire N3200 is one of the few surviving airworthy combat veterans of the Second World War.
It is considered a "time capsule" of an early-model Spitfire due to its restoration to its original 1940 specifications, which include features like the hand-pumped landing gear.
The aircraft is now a prized exhibit at IWM Duxford and is regularly featured in airshows. The museum also offers a "VIP Experience" where visitors can sit in the cockpit of N3200.

It was built in 1739 by Robert Fitzgerald, 19th Earl of Kildare. Carton was the country residence of the Fitzgeralds.
Carton Estate was lost by the Fitzgerald family in the 1920's when the 3rd son of the 6th Duke sold his birthright to pay off a gambling debt.
In 1949, Lord Brockett of Brockett Hall purchased the estate. His son famously appeared in "I'm a celebrity – get me out of here".
The boathouse is thought to have been built for one of Queen Victoria's visits to Carton. The Fitzgeralds were informed that she had a dream that she was rowing on the lake at Carton so they built the boathouse and commissioned a special boat for her visit.

España - Ciudad Real - Viso del Marqués - Palacio del Marqués de Santa Cruz
***
ENGLISH:
It was built at the end of the 16th century by Álvaro de Bazán, first Marquis of Santa Cruz. It is currently the headquarters of the General Archive of the Navy.
It is one of the two palaces built by this sailor, knight of the Order of Santiago, captain of the Ocean Sea and admiral of the Spanish Navy. It is located next to the church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, and since 1948 it has been rented by its owners, the Marquises of Santa Cruz, to the Spanish Navy, who first used it as a Museum of the Spanish Navy and later expanded its functions by also establishing the General Archive of the Navy.
The building was frequented by the first marquis thanks to its location, halfway between Madrid, where the Court was, and Seville, whose port he often went to as the Spanish Navy was anchored there, of which he was admiral during the reign of Philip II.
The palace was nearly destroyed by the Austrian troops of Edward Hamilton during the War of the Spanish Succession at the beginning of the 18th century, but was saved by the actions of the Marquis's chaplain, the poet Carlos de Praves, thanks to whom we can admire it today. It suffered some damage due to the Lisbon earthquake in 1755, which collapsed the ceiling of the hall of honour, where the great fresco depicting the Battle of Lepanto had been painted, and toppled the four corner towers, which the chronicles of Philip II described as magnificent.
In it we can find maritime objects from the period. A figurehead belonging to a ship commanded by the Marquis is noteworthy. During the War of Independence, the French razed it, and by the time the Civil War came it had served as a granary, school, stable, prison and hospital, until in 1948 and at the request of Julio Guillén Tato, director of the Naval Museum, Mrs. Casilda de Silva Fdez. de Henestrosa, descendant of Álvaro de Bazán, rented it to the Navy for 90 years as a museum-archive, which is its current function. Also, in the adjoining parish church there is a 4m long stuffed crocodile attached to one of the vaults, which was offered by the Marquis as a votive offering upon his return from one of his voyages.
Between March and April 1823, King Ferdinand VII spent the night there, after leaving Madrid for Seville, before the entry of the French contingent called the Hundred Thousand Sons of Saint Louis, about whose stay Ferdinand VII did not write a word in his travel diary. The palace was declared a National Monument in 1931 and was restored from 1948 by the Navy under the direction of Admiral Guillén.
The palace was built between 1564 and 1586 with subsequent modifications. It is a square-shaped building in the Renaissance style, built around a Renaissance atrium with a recumbent tomb. The walls and ceilings are covered with frescoes with two themes: mythological scenes on the one hand and naval battles and Italian cities related to the military career of the Marquis and his family on the other. The frescoes are by Italian Mannerist painters, the Péroli family. Upon seeing them, Philip II commissioned them to do work for El Escorial and the Alcázar of Toledo.
For its construction, the Marquis hired a team of architects, painters and decorators who worked on the building from 1564 to 1586. For some, the design of the building was due to the Italian Giovanni Battista Castello, known as the Bergamasco, who later worked in El Escorial; for others, it was designed, at least in its original plan, by Enrique Egas el Mozo.
The architecture is perceived as typically Spanish, without Italian arches, with smooth walls and square towers at the corners, influenced by the austerity of El Escorial and the Alcázar of Toledo, within the harmonious relationships characteristic of the Renaissance. The central space is occupied by a porticoed courtyard that, together with the staircase, forms a typically mannerist ensemble understood as an elegant and courtly style that goes beyond the merely architectural framework.

ESPAÑOL:
Fue construido a finales del siglo XVI por Álvaro de Bazán, primer marqués de Santa Cruz. Actualmente es la sede del Archivo General de la Marina.
Se trata de uno de los dos palacios construidos este marino, caballero de la Orden de Santiago, capitán del Mar Océano y almirante de la Marina española. Está situado al lado de la iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, y desde el año 1948 es alquilado por parte de sus propietarios, los marqueses de Santa Cruz, a la Armada Española, quien primero lo destinó a Museo de la Marina Española y más tarde amplió sus funciones estableciendo también el Archivo General de la Marina.
El edificio era frecuentado por el primer marqués gracias a su ubicación, a medio camino entre Madrid, donde estaba la Corte, y Sevilla, a cuyo puerto acudía a menudo al mantener allí anclada la Armada Española, de la cual fue almirante durante el reinado de Felipe II.
El palacio estuvo a punto de ser destruido por las tropas austracistas de Edward Hamilton durante la Guerra de Sucesión Española a principios del siglo XVIII, salvándose por la actuación del capellán del marqués, el poeta Carlos de Praves, gracias a lo cual hoy podemos admirarlo. Sufrió algunos daños a causa del terremoto de Lisboa en 1755: el cual hundió el techo del salón de honor, donde se había pintado el gran fresco que representaba la batalla de Lepanto, y desmochó las cuatro torres de las esquinas, que las crónicas de Felipe II describían como magníficas.
En él podemos encontrar objetos marineros de la época. Llama la atención un mascarón de proa perteneciente a una nave que dirigió el marqués. Durante la Guerra de la Independencia, los franceses lo arrasaron, y para cuando llegó la Guerra Civil había servido de granero, colegio, establo, cárcel y hospital, hasta que en 1948 y a instancias de Julio Guillén Tato, director del Museo Naval, doña Casilda de Silva Fdez. de Henestrosa, descendiente de Álvaro de Bazán se lo rentó a la Armada por 90 años como museo-archivo, que es en la actualidad su función. Asimismo, en la iglesia parroquial aledaña hay un cocodrilo disecado de 4m de largo adosado a una de las bóvedas, que fue ofrecido por el marqués como exvoto al regreso de uno de sus viajes.
Entre marzo y abril de 1823, el rey Fernando VII pernoctó allí, tras abandonar Madrid rumbo a Sevilla, ante la entrada del contingente francés llamado los Cien Mil Hijos de San Luis, de cuya estancia Fernando VII no escribió ni una palabra en su diario del viaje. El palacio fue declarado Monumento Nacional en 1931 siendo restaurado a partir de 1948 por la Armada bajo la dirección del Almirante Guillén.
El palacio fue construido entre 1564 y 1586 con modificaciones posteriores, y se trata de un edificio de planta cuadrada y estilo renacentista articulado en torno a un atrio renacentista con una tumba yacente. Los muros y techos se hallan cubiertos de frescos de doble temática: por un lado, escenas mitológicas y, por otro, batallas navales y ciudades italianas relacionadas con la trayectoria militar del marqués y de sus familiares. Los frescos se deben a unos pintores manieristas italianos, los Péroli. Al verlos, Felipe II les encargaría trabajos para El Escorial y el Alcázar de Toledo.
Para su construcción, el marqués contrató a un equipo de arquitectos, pintores y decoradores que trabajaron en la obra desde 1564 hasta 1586. Para algunos, el diseño del edificio se debió al italiano Giovanni Battista Castello, conocido como el Bergamasco, que más tarde trabajó en El Escorial; para otros lo trazó, al menos en su plan original, Enrique Egas el Mozo.
La arquitectura se percibe como típica española, sin las arquerías italianas, con paramentos lisos y torres cuadradas en las esquinas, influidos por la austeridad de El Escorial y el Alcázar de Toledo, dentro de las relaciones armónicas características del Renacimiento. El espacio central está ocupado por un patio porticado que junto con la escalera forma un conjunto típicamente manierista entendido como estilo elegante y cortesano que desborda el marco meramente arquitectónico.
