Bethesda-by-the-Sea is an Episcopal Church by the Lake Worth Lagoon in Palm Beach, Florida. It is part of the Episcopal Diocese of Southeast Florida and the oldest existing congregation in Palm Beach. The church building is an example of the gothic revival style and surrounds a courtyard.

 

Initially the church began in the Little Red Schoolhouse in January 1889. The initial church was built of mostly wood from lumber from the beach with service beginning in April that year. There was little access to the church aside from by boat. A larger new lot was sought in the following years with a rectory being built in 1890 and a second church built in the spring of 1895. The second church held its last service on Easter Sunday April 12, 1925.

 

The architectural firm of Hiss and Weekes produced a straightforward plan for the building, focused around a central courtyard or cloister. They placed the sanctuary entrance and a truncated tower closest to the intersection. A second walkway led to the entrance of the cloister, which featured both an outdoor pulpit and a fountain dominated by a sculpture of an angel. In the original plans, the choir and guild rooms were located on the east side of the cloister and the living areas for the rector and his staff were on the north. Inside the church, the bare stone and plaster columns and walls of the nave and side aisles are lit by stained glass windows. The dark wood of the ceiling recedes into the background. There is an order and legibility of plan in this church that is more typically seen in hotels.

 

The current church held the first service at its current location on Christmas Day 1926.

 

Donald and Melania Trump were married in the church on January 22, 2005. Trump's youngest son, Barron, was christened at the church. They have attended Christmas Eve and Easter Celebrations here in 2016, 2017, and 2019 after Trump's election as President of the United States.

 

Michael Jordan and Yvette Prieto were married at the church on April 27, 2013.

701 Brickell Avenue, is an office skyscraper in the Brickell district of Miami, Florida, United States. It is located on Brickell Avenue in the northern Brickell Financial District, just three blocks from Biscayne Bay. The tower was built in 1986 and opened as the Lincoln Center, it held that title until 2004. It currently goes by its address, which is 701 Brickell, because there was already a building in Miami at the time that claimed the Bank of America litigation, and therefore it could not take that name. However, that specific building has since been renamed the Miami Tower. The building is currently owned by TIAA–CREF, which purchased it in November 2002.

 

The building is 450 ft (150 m) tall and contains 34 floors. When built, it was in the top ten tallest buildings in Miami. Now, however, it has been dwarfed by much taller surrounding buildings which have been built as part of the recent building boom in that city. The building contains 677,677 rentable square feet of Class A office space.

Delmar, New York is a small suburban hamlet located in the Town of Bethlehem in Albany County, just southwest of Albany.

Palm Beach Atlantic University (PBA) is a private Christian university in West Palm Beach, Florida. The university's nine colleges focus on the liberal arts with a select collection of professional studies. In 2022, its undergraduate enrollment was approximately 2,400.

 

Founded in 1968, the university grew out of a local Baptist church. It operated out of assorted buildings until the first purpose-built campus building was completed in 1982. A subsidiary campus operates in Orlando. Eighteen sports teams represent the university in NCAA Division II competitions.

 

Palm Beach Atlantic University was the vision of and was founded by Jess C. Moody in 1968 while he was the pastor of First Baptist Church of West Palm Beach. He served until the first class graduated in 1972 and resigned from the presidency to focus on his duties at First Baptist Church. Two laymen of the church, Donald Warren and Riley Sims, became involved as trustees before the university began and continued to contribute time and support for many years. Warren served as chairman of the trustees for 38 years until 2007.

 

In July 1972, Warner E. Fusselle, previously president of Truett-McConnell College, became the second president of the university and led the accreditation process with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools which was achieved in December 1972.

 

George Borders, Vice President of Student Affairs at Stetson University, became the third president of Palm Beach Atlantic University in 1978. He was popular with students and the Florida Baptist Convention. After his resignation in 1981 to become the president of the Florida Baptist Foundation, Claude H. Rhea became president. During his presidency, the university developed the Rinker campus and expanded its academic programs.

 

Paul R. Corts, previously president of Wingate College, was the fifth president of Palm Beach Atlantic. He presided over the addition of two graduate programs, from 1991 until 2002. He resigned in 2002 to accept a position as Assistant Attorney General for Administration with the United States Department of Justice.

 

David W Clark, President of FamilyNet, and founding provost of Regent University became the sixth President in 2003. During his presidency enrollment grew from 2,600 to 3,291. Five new buildings were completed including the Warren Library, a mini campus in Wellington was built, and 96 acres (390,000 m2) for a new athletic campus were acquired. The university budget grew from $43 million to $73 million. Over 4,600 or 40 percent of all degrees were awarded during his tenure. President Clark announced his retirement during the 2008–2009 academic year the end of June.

 

On July 1, 2009, Lu Hardin took office as the seventh president of Palm Beach Atlantic University. A former Arkansas state senator, Hardin had previously served as the president of the University of Central Arkansas. Hardin resigned the presidency of PBA on March 4, 2011, shortly before pleading guilty in federal court in Little Rock, Arkansas, to two federal felony charges (wire fraud and money laundering) which occurred during his tenure at UCA.

 

On March 10, 2011, William M. B. "Bill" Fleming, Jr., the university's vice president for development, was named interim president by the university's board of trustees. After a nationwide search, Fleming, who had served as interim president for more than a year, was elected by the trustees as the university's eighth president, beginning his presidency on May 8, 2012.

 

PBA's campus is located in West Palm Beach. The first structure built specifically for PBA, the W.G. Lassiter Jr. Student Center, was completed in 1982. This was followed by Johnson Hall and Sachs Hall in 1989. A new campus was established in Orlando in 2002 and in Wellington in 2002. The Wellington campus ceased operations in 2017.

 

Residence halls include Baxter Hall, Coastal Towers Apartments, Johnson Hall, Oceanview Hall, Pembroke Hall, Rinker Hall, Watson Hall, and Weyenberg Hall.

 

Classroom buildings include the Vera Lea Rinker School of Music and Fine Arts, the Lloyd L. Gregory School of Pharmacy, Borbe Hall, MacArthur Hall, Rinker Hall, Oceanview Hall, The Greene Complex for Sports and Recreation, Memorial Presbyterian Church, Fern Street Theatre, Holy Trinity Church, and the Okeechobee Building.

 

A permanent home for Sailfish athletics is in the form of a 78-acre Marshall and Vera Lea Rinker Athletic Campus at 3401 Parker Avenue in West Palm Beach — just a short drive from Palm Beach Atlantic University. The campus, located between I-95 and Parker Avenue just north of Southern Boulevard, provides facilities for training and hosting intercollegiate and intramural and club sport competitions. The facility opened in September 2014 and was completed in August 2017.

 

On January 16, 2020, Debra Schwinn was announced as the new president of the university, following Fleming's retirement. Schwinn took office on May 4, 2020.

Built to replace the ageing fleet of LL-918 one-man spacecrafts, the LL-947 has 6 side mounted lasers on the wings to defend itself from the forces of Blacktron, which was a key problem with the old 918 class spacecrafts, who couldn't defend themselves if they ran into trouble. There are numerous reports that some of these have been modified by Blacktron to use against our forces, but so far there is no photographic evidence of these occurrences.

Naples Fire Station No. 1 is a 22,600-SF, two-story station housing city-provided fire response, as well as county-provided EMS rescue response. It includes fire department administration, Station No. 1, EMS, emergency operations center managed by the fire department, three-apparatus bays and associated apparatus support spaces, battalion chief office, bunk room, and locker room. General facility functions such as kitchen, dining, report writing, physical agility, dormitories, restrooms and showers, and equipment / utility support spaces are also included.

 

The facility is designed to promote the family unit by creating an open shared space in the kitchen, dining, and dayroom. The Naples Fire Station No. 1 and Administration Building continues to support its surrounding community in a variety of ways with the building’s efficient design, implementation of technology, and alerting systems, the facility was able to reduce fire and medical response times within the city limits. An (Insurance Services Organization) ISO fire rating is a score provided to fire departments and insurance companies by the Insurance Services Office. The score reflects how prepared a community and area is for fires. Due to its completion, Naples Fire-Rescue recently achieved the ISO rating of Class 1. This improvement provides assurances to the Naples residents and businesses that the Fire-Rescue Department meets the highest national benchmarks and can even potentially reduce hazard insurance for buildings located in Naples, Florida.

 

The building is organized with the community in mind, first and foremost. Even though the majority of the building is built six feet above the street level for flooding protection purposes, the public lobby is designed and engineered at ground level in order to provide ease of access, as well as promote a sense of trust and transparency to the public.

 

The building utilizes a community space adjacent to the main lobby enabling Naples Fire Rescue Community Outreach department to offer programs such as: free CPR and AED training, home safety inspection program, smoke detector program, child safety, and Youth Academy. Unlike most fire station apparatus bays, the Naples Fire Station 1 is able to serve as an educational space and an additional venue for community events. It was designed to directly capture exhaust fumes from fire apparatus vehicles and utilizes sensors for CO2 & NO2 gasses to exhaust air as required. With the garage doors open and the oversized high volume low sped fans on, the apparatus bay was able to be utilized as a vaccination site during the Covid-19 pandemic when vaccines first became available, and people were lining up in the hot Florida sun at other facilities."

Built in 1901-1906, this Chateauesque-style building was built for the Northern Pacific Railway to serve as the train depot for the city of Wallace, Idaho, located at the convergence of lines run by the Union Pacific Railroad and Northern Pacific Railway through the Idaho Panhandle. The building was originally located north of the tracks at the mouth of the 9 Mile Creek Canyon, but was moved about 200 feet (61 meters) south of its original location in 1986, to a site at the eastern terminus of Pine Street, saving it from demolition when the Interstate 90 viaduct was constructed along the old rail line route. The building features a rough-hewn stone base, buff roman brick cladding on the first floor, arched bays on the first floor with doorways featuring transoms and one-over-one double-hung windows, a shed canopy at the corner of the first floor with exposed rafter tails and wooden brackets, a pebbledash stucco-clad second floor with half-timbering and nine-over-one double-hung windows, a hipped roof with exposed rafter tails, and a three-story cylindrical corner tower with a conical roof and finial. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, and is a contributing structure in the Wallace Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, and expanded to its present size in 1983. The building presently houses the Northern Pacific Railroad Depot Museum, which documents the history of the railroad in Wallace and the Northern Idaho Panhandle.

Built to honor St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit order, it exemplifies Baroque theatrical design. The church is famous for its 17th-century trompe-l'œil ceiling fresco by Andrea Pozzo that creates the illusion of a dome. The ceiling is actually flat, but painted with perspective to look like a vast, domed structure.

Built between 1853 and 1858 and designed by Cuthbert Brodrick the town hall represents Leeds's emergence as an important industrial centre during the Industrial Revolution and is a symbol of civic pride and confidence.

Built in the 1910s, following the great earthquake of 1906, these homes adorn the, now precarious, borough of Playa Ancha, Valparaiso.

Built as a library, art school etc in 1869. Original plans prepared by G.B. Nichols of Wolverhampton, design modified by Robert Egar and J. Lockwood Kipling. Brick with terracotta dressings and plain tiled roof. 2 storeys, a richly ornamented facade with central doorway in slightly advanced gabled porch enriched with terracotta frieze and shafts to arched entry, flanked by busts in shallow niches, and with tiles around the archway. It is surmounted by a bust of Josiah Wedgwood.

Built c. 1872 at no. 40 Albert Street.

 

"The Bell-Carlton House, located at 40 Albert Street, is situated on the east side of the street between Martin Avenue and Gordon Street, in the City of Guelph. This two-storey limestone building is reminiscent of the Greek Revival style and was designed and constructed by Matthew Bell circa 1872. The property was designated by the City of Guelph for its historic and architectural value under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act (By-law 1979-10058).

 

The Bell-Carlton House is significant for its association with Matthew Bell, an accomplished local stone carver and masonry contractor from Newcastle, England. Bell built this house for his family, in circa 1872, although there is a possibility that the frame and central section are of an earlier date. 40 Albert Street is one of a series of notable stone houses Bell constructed, in this area of Guelph, which illustrate his fine sculptural decoration. Bell is responsible for the construction and ornamentation of nearby 49 Albert Street, 96-98 Water Street, and 22-26 Oxford Street. 40 Albert Street, however, was the last stone home Bell would build in the neighbourhood.

 

The Bell-Carlton House is an example of fine craftsmanship and exquisite detail, as is illustrated in the distinguished scale and proportions of the building. The structure's façade has been enriched with fine sculptural details in stone, including the window lintels, the ornate framing of the central doorway, and the three carved stone heads. Great care has been taken in repairing the masonry and in restoring the original architectural fabric of both the interior and exterior of the Bell-Carlton House. The house received the 1977 Award of Merit from the Guelph Arts Council for the quality of the restoration work which was undertaken." - info from Historic Places.

 

"Guelph (/ˈɡwɛlf/ GWELF; 2021 Canadian Census population 143,740) is a city in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. Known as The Royal City, it is roughly 22 km (14 mi) east of Kitchener and 70 km (43 mi) west of Downtown Toronto, at the intersection of Highway 6, Highway 7 and Wellington County Road 124. It is the seat of Wellington County, but is politically independent of it.

 

Guelph began as a settlement in the 1820s, established by John Galt, who was in Upper Canada as the first superintendent of the Canada Company. He based the headquarters, and his home, in the community. The area—much of which became Wellington County—was part of the Halton Block, a Crown reserve for the Six Nations Iroquois. Galt is generally considered Guelph's founder.

 

For many years, Guelph ranked at or near the bottom of Canada's crime severity list. However, the 2017 index showed a 15% increase from 2016. It had one of the country's lowest unemployment rates throughout the Great Recession. In late 2018, the Guelph Eramosa and Puslinch entity had an unemployment rate of 2.3%, which decreased to 1.9% by January 2019, the lowest of all Canadian cities. (The national rate at the time was 5.8%.) Much of this was attributed to its numerous manufacturing facilities, including Linamar." - info from Wikipedia.

 

Late June to early July, 2024 I did my 4th major cycling tour. I cycled from Ottawa to London, Ontario on a convoluted route that passed by Niagara Falls. During this journey I cycled 1,876.26 km and took 21,413 photos. As with my other tours a major focus was old architecture.

Built in 1886-1888, this Chicago School and Romanesque Revival-style building was designed by Daniel H. Burnham and John Wellborn Root of Burnham and Root to serve as an office building, and was named for a temporary two-story brick structure that previously stood on the site, which served as the Chicago City Hall and Chicago Public Library after the 1871 Great Chicago Fire, and was built in and around a metal water tank that had survived the fire. The Rookery Building utilized exterior load-bearing masonry walls and a steel internal structure in its construction, making it a hybrid of both the older construction method and a more modern method, and stands 12 stories and 181 feet (55 meters) tall, making it the oldest still-standing skyscraper in Chicago. It was renovated multiple times during its history, with a renovation by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1905-1907 refreshing the interior atrium and lobbies, lightening the dark cast iron and wood elements and cladding the columns and walls in white Carrara marble with gilded reliefs, adding the present chandeliers and urns in the space, and painting the metal roof structure white. A subsequent renovation in 1931 was carried out under the direction of William Drummond, a former Wright associate, whom added Art Deco elements to the interior, including new brass elevators and light fixtures, and modernizing the nearly half-century-old building to more contemporary tastes and standards, allowing it to compete more easily with newer nearby office buildings to attract new tenants.

 

The building’s exterior is clad in brick with a rusticated brown sandstone base, with large sandstone piers at the corners and middle bays, engaged cylindrical red marble columns between the bay windows on the first and second floors, with decorative carved stone surrounds at the arched entrance bays on the LaSalle Street and Adams Street facades, which feature brass doors, and iron and glass curtain walls on the Quincy Street and Rookery Court facades. Above the second floor, the building is clad in brick with terra cotta trim, one-over-one double-hung windows, ornate terra cotta street signs at the corners of the third floor facade, decorative recessed spandrel panel and belt coursing, projected bays above the entrances with decorative trim surrounds, arched window bays on the seventh and tenth floors, a parapet enclosing a low-slope roof, an obscured twelfth floor penthouse, decorative carved reliefs, a hipped glass roof over the central light court, and semi-circular balconies with terra cotta and iron railings and decorative corbels. Inside, the building features lobbies at the Adams Street and LaSalle Street entrances with Carrara Marble walls with decorative gilded reliefs, Carrara marble urns at the staircases, mosaic tile floors, urns, coffered ceilings, decorative light fixtures, and Frank Lloyd Wright-designed light fixtures. The center of the first and second floor is home to a large atrium with Carrara Marble walls and column surrounds with gilded reliefs, a single panel of a column surround that has been removed to reveal the original ornate ironwork underneath, a mosaic tile floor, iron railings and staircases, Frank Lloyd Wright-designed chandeliers, a white-painted iron structure supporting a large glass roof, a balcony ringing the second floor, large plate glass storefronts on the first and second floor, Carrara marble urns and octagonal posts at the base of the stairwell, and a large iron Oriel staircase that climbs through the building and features curved flights of stairs and an iron railing, opening onto elevator lobbies on each floor. The elevator lobbies on the lower floors feature brass doors with geometric motifs and sconce fixtures, mosaic tile floors, vaulted ceilings with decorative trim, and Carrara marble walls.

 

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970, was designated a Chicago Landmark in 1972, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1975. The building is a contributing structure in the West Loop–LaSalle Street Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013. The building underwent a rehabilitation in 1992, restoring the exterior to its original Burnham and Root design, and restoring the interior lobbies and atrium to their Frank Lloyd Wright and William Drummond designs. The building received a LEED Gold certification in 2014, and was renovated between 2015 and 2017 to modernize building systems and facilities, including restrooms and elevators. The building remains in use as an office building, with retail space on the first floor, including a Frank Lloyd Wright Trust gift shop in the atrium. The building is the oldest of several structures along LaSalle Street that form a historic Skyscraper “Canyon” that terminates at the tallest structure along the street, the Board of Trade Building.

Built in the 1970's. These powerful fresh water boats last a long time. They are restricted in width, length and horsepower so they'll fit in the locks with a full string of barges. Taken from the Bellevue, Kentucky shore.

The Brickell Avenue Bridge is a bascule bridge in Downtown Miami, Florida, that carries U.S. Route 1 (US 1; Brickell Avenue) over the Miami River.

 

The original Brickell Avenue Bridge was built in 1929 and replaced in 1995. The Brickell Avenue Bridge was widened by one additional northbound lane in 2006 to reduce the traffic bottleneck through downtown. Before this, there were three southbound but only two northbound lanes. Currently, there are three lanes in each direction as well as a pedestrian walkway on both sides. Still, the bridge causes frequent traffic delays on the busy Brickell Avenue when it opens. According to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), the bridge opened 4,990 times in 2010.

 

The statue is a 53-foot bronze monument commissioned by the Florida Department of Transportation and created by Cuban Master Sculptor Manuel Carbonell in 1995. The "Pillar of History" consists of a 36-foot high carved bas-relief column that graphically narrates the lives of the Tequesta Indians, Miami's first inhabitants, and features 158 figures. At the top stands a 17-foot bronze sculpture, "Tequesta Family" portraying a Tequesta Indian warrior aiming an arrow to the sky, looking for space in eternity, with his wife and child by his side, while the son covers his face in expectation of their extinction.

 

Carbonell also created four bas reliefs, measuring 4-feet by 8-feet, which were installed in niches on the bridge's supporting piers. Each relief honors Miami's early founders and pioneers - William and Mary Brickell, Henry Flagler, Marjory Stoneman Douglas, and Julia Tuttle.

According to legend, the temple in Monastyrshchino was built on the burial site of the soldiers who died on Kulikovo field. There is a legend about the temple standing on the graves of soldiers, and that the royal gates of the church were allegedly brought into it by St. Sergius of Radonezh. In 1855, it was decided to build a new stone church due to the unsatisfactory condition of the wooden one. Due to lack of funds for the 500th anniversary of the Battle of Kulikovo, celebrated in 1880, a fundraiser was announced for the construction of the temple, Emperor Alexander III donated his personal funds to the temple. The main altar of the church was consecrated on September 30, 1896.

 

По преданию, храм в Монастырщино выстроен на месте захоронения погибших на Куликовом поле воинов. Существует легенда о стоящем на могилах воинов храме, и то, что царские врата церкви якобы были принесены в неё преподобным Сергием Радонежским. В 1855 году было принято решение о постройке новой каменной церкви из-за неудовлетворительного состояния деревянной. Из-за нехватки средств к 500-летию Куликовского сражения, отмечавшемуся в 1880 году, был объявлен сбор средств на постройку храма, из своих личных средств на храм жертвовал император Александр III. Главный алтарь храма был освящён 30 сентября 1896 года.

West Palm Beach / Jul 11, 2022

 

25-story building set to bring a new class of luxury to office sector in 2024.

 

Related Companies today announced six top-ranking firms to expand their footprint into West Palm Beach’s forthcoming Class-A office One Flagler. Situated at the gateway to Palm Beach Island and connecting West Palm Beach's past and future, the building continues to attract a selection of the nation’s most influential financial and professional services firms.

 

Built on Related’s legacy of elegance, style and service, the building is expected to open at the beginning of 2024 with the most prestigious WiredScore Platinum rating, the world’s only internationally recognized digital connectivity rating platform.

 

Today, the building is nearly 60 percent pre-leased including:

 

GTCR, a leading private equity firm founded in 1980, will expand its existing presence in the market by opening a new West Palm Beach office. Their new office is expected to open in mid-2024. GTCR is headquartered in Chicago and has an office in New York. Colliers, Ryan Barr, Alain LeCoque and Bob Schneiderman, represented GTCR.

 

Diameter Capital Partners, a global credit-focused asset manager headquartered in New York, will move its West Palm Beach office to the building. The move is expected to be completed in mid-2024.

 

Four additional confidential firms spread across the financial services and pharmaceutical industries.

These companies join First Republic Bank and private equity firm Siris Capital and represent 50,000+ square feet of new leases.

 

“The expansion of our presence in West Palm Beach into this new space reflects our growth as a firm and our continued confidence in the region as a business and investing center,” said Collin Roche, co-CEO and managing director of GTCR. “The West Palm Beach market offers a unique and differentiated option for talent and diversity and building our footprint further in the city will allow us to compete for the best people. The space at Related’s One Flagler will create a dynamic environment for further collaboration within our teams and with members of the growing investment community in the area.”

 

“We are pleased to welcome a high caliber list of significant tenants from leading U.S. markets who believe in the power of West Palm Beach and have witnessed the evolution of the destination as a booming financial district,” said Gopal Rajegowda, partner, Related Southeast.

 

Designed by world-renowned architect David Childs, One Flagler is a 25-story Class-A office building that will anchor West Palm Beach’s Okeechobee Business District and the Flagler Financial District. It will include 270,000 square feet of flexible office space, 4,100 square feet of retail space, over 10,000 of indoor and outdoor upscale dining led by Estiatorio Milos by Costas Spiliadis and a reading room open to both the public and members of the adjacent First Church of Christ, Scientist.

Built in 1908-1910, this Prairie-style building was designed by Dwight H. Perkins to serve as a public high school for the rapidly growing Irving Park neighborhood in northwest Chicago, and was named for Carl Schurz, a statesman, soldier, and pro-democratic activist in Germany and the United States. The building was expanded with an addition in 1915, designed by Arthur F. Hussander, and another addition in 1923-1924, designed by John C. Christensen, which expanded the building to include a larger auditorium, additional gymnasiums, a V-shaped rear wing that borders Waveland avenue and obscures the original north facade within a courtyard, and two wings flanking the original building, and partially enclosing the building’s front lawn, altering its character to be more like that of a courtyard. The building is the largest Prairie-style building in the world, and was designed such that it is reminiscent of Prairie-style houses, but on a larger scale. The building is clad in buff brick and brown brick with a hipped red terra cotta tile roof featuring tapered eaves at the gable ends, double-hung windows, terra cotta trim, a large auditorium wing at the northwest corner of the building, projected secondary entrance bays, and copper gutters. Inside, the building features staircases with metal railings, terrazzo floors in the hallways, wooden doors, a massive auditorium with a vaulted ceiling and second-story balcony, a decorative trim surround at the proscenium, and wooden seats, a library that was the building’s original auditorium, which features decorative murals by Gustave Brand, a domed ceiling, half-dome niches, and green and brown tile at the base of the walls, and arched clerestory windows, a vaulted ceiling in the lobby with a mural featuring a map of the world, and multiple gymnasiums, some of which feature second-story running tracks. The building was designated a Chicago Landmark in 1979, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011. Today, the building remains in use as a high school operated by Chicago Public Schools.

Built as a tender to R.M.S. Titanic, this is the sole surviving White Star Line vessel. Built by Harland and Wolff, Belfast. Seen in dry dock at the port.

This beautiful church was incorporated in 1923. Work was started the same year toward a new edifice and was completed in 1924. The rectory was moved north to parallel the construction, facing the lake.

 

L. Phillips Clarke, of Harvey and Clarke, was the architect for the new church, as he was later for the new parish hall in 1929 and for the new rectory and Sunday School rooms built later. Wilcox Bros. Inc., the contractor, built the church and also did repair work after it suffered hurricane damage in 1928.

 

The marble and mosaic work was done by craftsmen from Italy, who brought much of the material with them. Louis S. Clarke (whose father, C. J. Clarke, had donated the community building in which the original church group met, and whose son was the architect for the present building) made the chandeliers for the church by hand, together with the chains by which they hang, all of which he forged himself. The marble altar and the original Skinner organ were made possible by generous donations.

 

On February 24, 1924, the first service was held in the new church. The old church building was then used as a parish hall until it was destroyed in the hurricane of September 1928.

 

Some features that identify it as the original church building are the arch detail over the entrance, the screen doors, and one of the small front windows.

 

In May 1929 work was started on the first two units of a new parish hall. The cornerstone was laid on July 14th and work was completed in September. A choir room, kitchen quarters, and a new rectory were added in 1939. Funding for and work on the Sunday school rooms which frame the current courtyard commenced in 1948.

 

The collapse of the land boom in 1926, the killer hurricane in 1928, and the stock market crash of 1929 brought development to a halt in the region. Holy Trinity, holding a large debt for the new building, endured a very difficult struggle and at one point foreclosure was threatened. However, in 1938 as the depression waned, the debt was restructured and disaster was averted.

 

The formal consecration of the church was held on April 29, 1945, after the mortgage was retired. The event was hailed in the press as "the high point in the history of the Episcopal congregation in West Palm Beach." The consecration services were conducted by Bishop John D. Wing of the Diocese of South Florida, before a congregation that packed the building. The Rev. William S. Turner was rector at that time.

 

Memorials and gifts throughout the years, too numerous to detail in this limited space, have enhanced the beauty of the church. A large Skinner organ was added to the original organ in 1939, and other additions were subsequently made. The stained glass windows were installed over a period spanning sixty years, with the first window, the large rose window over the altar, being installed in 1924. The most ambitious window addition program occurred in the 1950s with the Rev. James Stirling as Rector. The most recently installed windows, in the south wall of the Baptistry, were installed in 1984.

 

Having originally been started with the help of Bethesda-by-the-Sea, Holy Trinity has in turn through the years helped start five other Episcopal churches in the area: St. Andrews Church, Lake Worth, St. Georges, Riviera Beach, St. Marks, Palm Beach Gardens, The Church of the Holy Spirit, West Palm Beach, and Grace Episcopal Church, West Palm Beach.

A medium fighter with hidden armament.

Built as MV154 in 1944 at Southampton, delivered to 6MU the same year. In September 1944 the Spitfire was shipped to Australia where she arrived at the end of November and was stored. In 1948, MV154 was assembled and used for some system testing. In 1961 the rare fighter was sold to “Titus” Oates who wanted to bring her back to airworthy condition. The plan failed and the MkVIIIc was sold to Sid Marshall who stored the airplane in his museum. Robs Lamplough acquired her in 1979 and brought her back to Great Britain. After 15 years of restoration, this Spitfire took the skies over Filton on 28th May 1994. In 2010 G-BKMI was sold to MeierMotors based at the former military airfield Bremgarten in the South of Germany. Following restoration work, the MkVIIIc was registered in Germany as D-FEUR. She was the first Spitfire registered in Germany since the end of WWII. This aircraft is operated by MaxAlpha Aviation Gmbh, also based in Eschbach, Bremgarten airfield.
