Built in 1864-1869, this Romanesque Revival-style church was designed by John Nader for the congregation of the Holy Redeemer Catholic Church. The church was once the second oldest Catholic Church in Madison, and was the second parish organized in the city, being established by German Catholics in 1857, and initially located in a smaller building on the same site. The building was built in the latin cross plan, and is clad in sandstone with a gabled roof with side gables towards the rear at the transepts, a centrally-placed bell tower with a wooden belfry featuring arched louvers, bracketed eaves, arched dormers with clock faces, a slate shingle-clad spire topped by a finial and cross, pilasters at the corners of the building, roman arched stained glass windows and door transoms, small rose windows on the tower below the belfry and on the gable ends of the transepts, six-over-six double-hung windows on the first floor, a cupola at the crossing between the nave and transepts, and a rear apse with beveled corners. The stained glass windows, belfry, and steeple were added as the congregation continued to grow in size and wealth, and in 1892, a parochial school was built southwest of the original church. The church today is the oldest remaining Catholic Church in Madison, following the destruction of St. Raphael's Cathedral due to arson in 2005. The church is a contributing structure in the Mansion Hill Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.
I built him dreams so he would have hope
I built him a home so he would feel safe
yet walls caved in &
he torn my castle into flames
he put fences around our hearts
and I would build wings so we could fly
I would carry our bodies until my arms no longer reached the shore
until no love is pure
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 1863, this Gothic Revival-style building was built for the congregation of Église Sainte-Émilie, or St. Emily Catholic Church, established to serve the growing villages of Leclercville and Sainte-Emmélie. The building is clad in painted brick and stucco textured to appear like stone, with gothic arched bays containing large windows, decorative trim including pinnacles, window hoods, finials, crosses, and corbels, buttresses on the side facades, a wood-frame side wing clad in scalloped asbestos shingle siding, gothic arched doorways on the front facade, a large tower at the center of the front facade with an open belfry and tall spire, a gabled and hipped sheet metal roof, and a one-story rear wing with casement windows. The building today remains in use as a parochial church for the surrounding village of Leclercville, which merged with the village of Sainte-Emmélie in 2000.

Built in 1817 in the Georgian style, the house is now part of the campus of the Florence Griswold Museum. Florence Griswold (1850-1937) used it as a boarding house where American impressionists lived and painted. Leading artists of the Old Lyme Colony who stayed in the boarding house were Henry Ward Ranger, Edward Charles Volkert, Childe Hassam and Willard Metcalf. President Woodrow Wilson and his family dined with "Miss Florence" and the artists as well. The house was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1993. The museum, partially seen just to the left of the house is noted for its collection of American impressionist paintings.
Built to cross the River Esk at a cost of £40,000 in 1882-4, this viaduct carried the the Scarborough-Whitby line which sadly closed in1965.

Built 1973-76. Architect: Graham Law, Law & Dunbar-Nasmith (LDN), Theatre Consultant: John Wyckham, Main Contractors: Crudens Ltd. Redeveloped and expanded, Page\Park Architects, 2007. Visually stunning, 3-tiered theatre complex consisting of stage, auditorium, restaurant, bar and foyer spaces linked to pre-existing 19th century Bishop's Palace to N. Public area facing riverfront steps back in 2 tiers. Bottom tier (housing largest main foyer, restaurant and bar) consists of 6 hexagonal glazed projections with slated hexagonal pitched roofs. 2nd tier (housing smaller 1st, 2nd and upper circle foyers) consists of 6 projecting glass walls with pitched slate roofs.
A nationally significant theatre complex as one of the first high status modernist buildings in the Highlands and the first completely new theatre complex to have been built in Scotland within approximately 50 years.
The idea of creating a civic complex for the Highlands for drama, music and conferences had been mooted by Inverness Town Council since the mid 1960s. In 1967 the Council commissioned leading theatre consultant John Wyckham, to undertake a feasibility study. Eden Court was built amidst much public opposition, firstly to the idea of a theatre (especially as it sits upon consecrated ground), later to the design and then to the escalating costs. St Andrew's Episcopal Cathedral stands nearby to the N and the adjacent Bishop's Palace which was built for Robert Eden, the Bishop of Moray, Ross and Caithness provided the name for Eden Court. The economic climate was also difficult, however, with persistent support and with funds raised from grants, loans and public donations, the building opened in April 1976 and continues to operate as intended. Eden Court received the 1977 Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Award.
Built in 1910, this depot was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
Fort Madison is a small city of about 11,000 people located in the southeastern corner of the state. It is one of two county seats of Lee County (the other is Keokuk).
Snowtown.
Captain John Ellis leased the land where Snowtown now stands from the early 1840s. His Bumbunga and Barunga runs made him wealthy and covered around 100 square miles in 1860. He built a large 8 room stone house on Barunga Run in the Hummock Ranges near Lochiel. In the 1869 the Hummocks run was resumed by the government for survey and for closer settlement. When most of Hummocks run was resumed by the government the land was put up for public auction in the new Hundreds of Cameron and Barunga which were declared in 1869. Robert Barr Smith took up all the hilly section of the Hundred of Cameron as freehold land as he said it was not suitable for cropping. John Maslin took up other hilly section of the Hundred. Barr Smith took up more land in the Hundred of Barunga. Barr Smith and Maslin also purchased extensive sections of the flat cropping lands of The Hundred of Boucaut (named after a state Premier) when it was proclaimed in 1867 with land sales in 1872 and 1875. In 1886 the partnership between Maslin and Barr Smith dissolved and Barr Smith took it over. On his death in 1915 Hummocks station went to his son Tom Elder Barr Smith who in turn sold the Hummocks estate of almost 30,000 acres to the government. This boosted the town of Snowtown as more farmers moved into its surrounds. Most of the land was opened up for soldier settler farmers on blocks of 600 to 1,000 acres.
The town of Snowtown was established in 1878 being named after Mr. Thomas Snow, the secretary of the Governor of the day, Sir William Jervois. Jervois named many SA towns after his family and friends. The town site was selected to be located at the end of the railway being built from Kadina through Bute and Barunga Gap. The railway line reached Snowtown in 1879 providing a great stimulus to development. A flour mill was built almost immediately in Snowtown. The railway meant passengers could travel to Adelaide via Kadina and Port Wakefield. The town’s role as a transport hub was further strengthened when the railway was extended across the plains to the east, through the small settlement of Condowie to the newly created town of Brinkworth in 1894. Snowtown got a direct broad gauge connection from Adelaide in 1923 and this line terminated in Redhill. In 1937 it was extended to Port Pirie. Once this line was completed all interstate trains to Perth started using this new route. Snowtown then had several trains daily to and from Adelaide as well as a daily rail car service to Moonta and to Brinkworth. This rail car service to Moonta and to Brinkworth ceased in 1968. Passenger trains to Port Pirie ceased in the early 1980s after the SA government sold South Australian Railways to the Commonwealth Railways. They rationalised services by stopping all passenger services. Rail freight services had already almost ceased once the SA government passed an act in 1963 removing the necessity for freight to be carried by rail if a rail line existed in a town. The railway yards were always busy with bagged wheat being shipped to Wallaroo or Port Adelaide but in 1956 the first bulk handling silos were built in Snowtown. It was one of the first half dozen towns in SA equipped with silos.
In 1878 Snowtown grew quickly with the usual buildings of a government town – police station, post office and school. The community erected an institute library which opened in 1881 and the churches which were all quickly built- the Bible Christian 1880, the Anglican 1880, the first Catholic 1882, the first Methodist in 1909, and another community facility, the hospital was built in 1902. (The Lutherans of Snowtown worshiped at Condowie where a Lutheran Church had been built in 1878. A Lutheran Church was not built in Snowtown until 1966). Local businessmen established general stores, the flour mill, a saddlery, a hotel, a bakery, a boot maker, and an agricultural implement foundry. City firms established the banks. One more recent bank reached national infamy for being the site of gruesome murders. The government built a grand stone school in 1879. This became a Higher Primary School in in 1941 and then an Area School in 1961. It is in the suburban belt beyond the parklands belt. The population is now around 400. Like many SA towns it has a George Goyder designed grid plan surrounded by parklands and beyond that some suburban lands. Some of the government buildings like the school, the hospital and public facilities like the oval are in the so called parklands belt. The town centre is surrounded by North, South, East and West Terraces with a railway reserve in the middle of the town.
Snowtown has reliable and reasonable rainfall except in severe drought years. The agriculture of the area was further boosted after World War One when the last part of the Barr Smith Barunga Run was resumed by the state government. This covered all of the hilly parts of the ranges. Returning soldiers were given soldier settler blocks along the top of the ranges. Now these areas are the site of a major wind farm operation. One of the last death knolls for Snowtown as a busy town (but a blessing to many residents) was the opening of the Highway One bypass in 1976. Prior to that time all transport and traffic passed through the middle of the town. More recently the town has become a wind power generator. A New Zealand Company, Trust Power set up the wind farm in 2008. When all stages were finished there were 150 turbines along the Barunga Ranges.
Some historic buildings in Snowtown include:
1.The old butcher shop and bakery. It began in 1889 in a small shop. New section with classical pediment built 1910. The old classical style shops east of it were an early drapery store built in 1901.
2.The former English Scottish and Australia Bank with triple window in gable. Built 1893. Was an ANZ bank in the 1970s now a residence.
3.The town shops built in 1924. The site was used for the first flourmill built in 1879. It closed in 1911 and was demolished in 1923 for the shops.
4.The Institute Library was built on the corner in 1881 but demolished for the new War Memorial Hall façade in 1924. The Institute entrance was here and it opened in 1885. Presbyterian Church services 1886 and Lodge services etc were held here.
5.The Savings Bank of South Australia 1956. Built in ultra-modern style. Used for storing bodies in the barrel murders.
6.The Snowtown Hotel. Built in 1880 with two storeys. In 1913 extended lengths ways. Detour here to see the old bakery and go around the block.
7.The old bakery on the corner of High Street East. The low pug house behind the shop was built in 1890. The building in front on the street was built about 1900 as a Plymouth Brethren Church. It subsequently became a bakery.
8.Snowtown IGA and Post Office. This was branch 43 of Eudunda Farmers. Eudundas opened in 1939 in a former old general store built in 1902. This was modernised around 1960. The Eudundas store closed 1985.
9.The Police Station (was built in 1883) now replaced and next to it the old Post Office on the corner also built in 1883. The gable section was added around 1910.
10.The Independent Order of Oddfellows Hall. The Lodge was established in 1881 and the lodge building opened in 1910. Note the lack of windows.
11.The railway was built from Kadina to Barunga Gap in the Hummocks in 1879. The line was extended to Snowtown in 1880 and a fine old stone station as built that year. In 1923 the railway line was extended from Bowmans near Balaklava direct to Snowtown. Work then began on extending the line to Redhill and eventually Port Pirie (1937). The current railway station was built in 1945.
12.The red brick Catholic Church. The first Catholic Church opened in 1881. This structure was built in 1936.
13.The Uniting Church erected as a Methodist Church in 1909 on the site of Duffield’s flourmill. Methodist denominations had united in 1909 and the earlier Bible Christian Church erected in 1880 in Fourth Street was no longer adequate or needed.
Iandra Castle near Greenethorpe. George and Elizabeth Greene were settlers with a difference when they purchased their 32,000 acre property in 1878. They built their first homestead named Mount Oriel House in 1880. Greene was a NSW politician and a man with ideas. By the time he died in 1911 his Mount Oriel estate had over 20,000 acres was sown in crop. His obituary said he came to a landscape of bush and transformed it into a granary. His estate used 700 horses and employed over 600 people plus various chaffcutters, thrashers etc and the woolshed sheared 30,000 sheep. He came to NSW in 1847 with his parents and spent most of his life on pastoral properties in the west before he purchased Iandra. He dreamed of a medieval feudal system to grow vast areas of crop with little labour. He was regarded as the most important wheat farmer in Australia along with William Farrer who developed his rust resistant wheat type. Greene claims to have introduced the concept of share farming to Australia. He provided the land and took half of the value of the crop but the share farmer bought the seed, fertiliser and provided the labour to sow and reap the crop. But did he? Share cropping was common in the American south after the Civil War and Elizabeth Onlsow (nee MacArthur of Camden Park NSW) introduced share farming on their diary property in 1887. Greene established his own village with houses for the fifty sharefarmers he contracted to work his lands. He started with just one share farmer in 1891 and gradually expanded the system. His estate manager, named Leonard l’Anson came from Waterloo in South Australia and members of the Freebairn family from Alma in SA also moved to Iandra to be share farmers. To go with his village George Greene needed a castle like a medieval lord of the manor. Iandra castle was built in 1908 with 57 rooms and castellations and towers but the construction was decidedly modern with reinforced concrete walls. The style was slightly Gothic but the interior was very Edwardian with wood panelling and Art Nouveau stained glass panels etc. The external concrete was rendered to appear like stone. It cost around £63,000 to build. The property included stables, a manager’s residence, outbuildings, blacksmith shop, sheds etc. Near the house was a chapel built in 1886 and a cemetery. When George Greene died in 1911 he was buried here. The estate was partially broken up in 1914 and most share farmers were able to buy their 640 acre blocks. I’Anson continued as manager for Elizabeth Greene until her death in 1927. He was then able to buy 2,500 acres and the castle. Later Iandra castle was used as the Methodist Boys Home from 1954 to 1974. The Methodist Boys Farm School for those aged 15 to 18 took in first time offenders in the criminal justice system. They were taught farming skills. The Methodist Church sold the centre in 1974. The next owner was David Morris who restored the castle and more recent owners are Rod and Bev Kershaw. Iandra castle is thus one of the most unusual and surprising heritage properties in Australia. Iandra Castle near Greenethorpe.

"Built circa 1906, 143 McGregor Avenue is a two storey red brick residence. It is located on the west side of McGregor Avenue in close proximity to other homes of a similar age and character in the eastern end of the central residential core of Sault Ste. Marie.
143 McGregor Avenue has been recognized for its heritage value by the City of Sault Ste. Marie, By-law 91-229.
Also known as the McLeod Family Residence, 143 McGregor Avenue is of heritage value as one of the least altered examples of the middle-class residences built in Sault Ste. Marie and across Northern Ontario in the early 20th century. Largely built of durable local materials, it reflects the confidence of Sault Ste Marie's Clergue Industrial Period (1894-1911), as interpreted by the merchant and professional class who built and occupied this home. It is a simple well proportioned building with an aura of modest affluence.
Key character defining elements that reflect the heritage values include its:
- wood windows and storm sashes in two over two pattern and leaded lights in the upper quarters
- fish scale pattern gables
- simple design elements
- circular two storey turret with conical cedar shingle roof capped with a pinnacle
- substantial entrance porch set on sandstone piers across the front of the house
- local clay brick
- local sandstone foundation, piers and sills" - info from Historic Places Canada.
"Sault Ste. Marie (/ˈsuː seɪnt məˈriː/ SOO-seint-ma-REE) is a city on the St. Marys River in Ontario, Canada, close to the Canada–US border. It is the seat of the Algoma District and the third largest city in Northern Ontario, after Sudbury and Thunder Bay.
The Ojibwe, the indigenous Anishinaabe inhabitants of the area, call this area Baawitigong, meaning "place of the rapids." They used this as a regional meeting place during whitefish season in the St. Mary's Rapids. (The anglicized form of this name, Bawating, is used in institutional and geographic names in the area.)
To the south, across the river, is the United States and the Michigan city of the same name. These two communities were one city until a new treaty after the War of 1812 established the border between Canada and the United States in this area at the St. Mary's River. In the 21st century, the two cities are joined by the International Bridge, which connects Interstate 75 on the Michigan side, and Huron Street (and former Ontario Secondary Highway 550B) on the Ontario side. Shipping traffic in the Great Lakes system bypasses the Saint Mary's Rapids via the American Soo Locks, the world's busiest canal in terms of tonnage that passes through it, while smaller recreational and tour boats use the Canadian Sault Ste. Marie Canal.
French colonists referred to the rapids on the river as Les Saults de Ste. Marie and the village name was derived from that. The rapids and cascades of the St. Mary's River descend more than 6 m (20 ft) from the level of Lake Superior to the level of the lower lakes. Hundreds of years ago, this slowed shipping traffic, requiring an overland portage of boats and cargo from one lake to the other. The entire name translates to "Saint Mary's Rapids" or "Saint Mary's Falls". The word sault is pronounced [so] in French, and /suː/ in the English pronunciation of the city name. Residents of the city are called Saultites.
Sault Ste. Marie is bordered to the east by the Rankin and Garden River First Nation reserves, and to the west by Prince Township. To the north, the city is bordered by an unincorporated portion of Algoma District, which includes the local services boards of Aweres, Batchawana Bay, Goulais and District, Peace Tree and Searchmont. The city's census agglomeration, including the townships of Laird, Prince and Macdonald, Meredith and Aberdeen Additional and the First Nations reserves of Garden River and Rankin, had a total population of 79,800 in 2011.
Native American settlements, mostly of Ojibwe-speaking peoples, existed here for more than 500 years. In the late 17th century, French Jesuit missionaries established a mission at the First Nations village. This was followed by development of a fur trading post and larger settlement, as traders, trappers and Native Americans were attracted to the community. It was considered one community and part of Canada until after the War of 1812 and settlement of the border between Canada and the US at the Ste. Mary's River. At that time, the US prohibited British traders from any longer operating in its territory, and the areas separated by the river began to develop as two communities, both named Sault Ste. Marie." - info from Wikipedia.

The Circ Hotel by Hosteeva, located in Downtown Hollywood, Florida, was a highly celebrated project that marked the first new hotel built in the city's downtown core in nearly 40 years. The property transitioned through multiple corporate structural changes—moving from its original lifestyle launch to being operated by Sonder and finally being managed under the Hosteeva banner.
2018: A Historic Grand Opening
The hotel officially celebrated its grand opening in June 2018. It was built as a primary anchor for the $200 million mixed-use Hollywood Circle development, a major revitalization project sitting right next to the ArtsPark at Young Circle. Developed by Hollywood Circle LLC (led by Charles "Chip" Abele Jr.) and funded partly by EB-5 investment, the 12-story, 111-room boutique hotel was widely praised as the catalyst designed to usher in a modern "lifestyle" renaissance for Hollywood's historic urban district.
At its debut, the hotel featured heavily publicized upscale concepts, including:
Olivia Restaurant & Bar: An authentic Italian eatery spearheaded by South Florida restaurateurs Piero Filpi and Marcello Sindoni.
The Muse Rooftop Bar & Lounge: A trendy pool-deck bar offering 360-degree panoramic views of the South Florida skyline.
Presto Market & Coffee Bar: A chic, ground-level neighborhood hub.
While the building originally operated under standard hospitality management agreements, the hotel landscape shifted with the rise of tech-driven corporate hospitality brands.
The Sonder Phase: For a period, the hotel was managed by the flexible-stay hospitality company Sonder, operating under an apartment-hotel style model.
The Shift to Hosteeva: Following Sonder's exit, management of the hotel rooms was taken over by Hosteeva. Under Hosteeva's tech-driven platform, the hotel rooms were adapted into modern boutique accommodations blending classic hotel amenities (like the 12th-floor rooftop pool, fitness center, and a newly established Melbean Coffee Shop) with seamless, contactless vacation rental conveniences.
Recent Real Estate Turbulence
In early 2024, the residential portion directly above the hotel (the 25-story Circ Residences tower) was converted from luxury rentals into individual condominiums. Following slow condo sales, the overarching development entity faced severe financial stress, resulting in a $133.4 million foreclosure lawsuit filed in mid-2026 against the developer's remaining unsold units. Despite the legal and financial restructurings occurring with the residential portion of the tower, the boutique hotel rooms managed by Hosteeva continue to actively welcome travelers visiting the Young Circle district.

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 1903 and designed by Frank Matcham (who also did London Palladium, Coliseum and Richmond Theatre) .
The Bacardi Buildings are a landmark of Midtown Miami and served as the former headquarters of Bacardi USA. The site, located at 2100 Biscayne Boulevard, consists of the Bacardi Imports Tower and the Bacardi Imports Administration Annex, also known as "The Jewel Box". The tower and the annex were constructed in 1963 and 1973, respectively, and in 2018 they were added to the National Register of Historic Places.
The two buildings are located in a plaza at 2100 Biscayne Boulevard. The plaza sits directly above an underground parking garage and features a large painted Bacardi logo, which is visible to planes arriving at and departing from Miami International Airport. Both buildings are accessible from the parking garage via elevators.
The Bacardi Imports Tower, built in 1963, was the first of the two buildings to be constructed. It was commissioned by former Bacardi president José “Pepin” Bosch and designed by Cuban architect Enrique Gutierrez. Azulejo murals by Brazilian artist and ceramist Francisco Brennand cover two of the building's walls giving it the nickname "the blue tile building".
The administration annex was constructed ten years after the tower, in 1973, and was designed by Ignacio Carrera-Justiz of Coral Gables, Florida. It is referred to as "The Jewel Box" because of the colorful hammered-glass mosaic covering its four sides. The Mesoamerican-themed mosaic was designed by German artist Johannes M. Dietz.
Around 2009, Miami citizens began a campaign to label the buildings as "historic". University of Miami professor of architecture Allan Shulman said "Miami's brand is its identity as a tropical city. The Bacardi buildings are exactly the sort that resonate with our consciousness of what Miami is about". In 2007, Chad Oppenheim, the head of Oppenheim Architecture + Design, described the Bacardi buildings as "elegant, with a Modernist look combined with a local flavor."
On April 18, 2012, the American Institute of Architects' Florida chapter placed the buildings on its list of Florida Architecture: 100 Years. 100 Places as Bacardi USA. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.
The Bacardi Buildings have been occupied by the National YoungArts Foundation since 2012.The current Bacardi headquarters are located at 2701 Le Jeune Road in Coral Gables, Florida.

The Miami Beach Post Office is a historic 1937 Art Moderne U.S. Post Office building in Miami Beach, Florida, designed by Howard Lovewell Cheney and built under the patronage of the Works Progress Administration during the Great Depression.
This building is a historic building primarily in the Art Moderne style, closely related to Art Deco, known for its circular lobby, glass blocks, and distinctive cupola.
Key Architectural Features:
Style: Art Moderne (sometimes called Depression Moderne or Streamline Moderne), blending with Miami's Art Deco
surroundings.
Materials: Constructed with limestone and concrete.
Interior: Features murals by Charles Hardman depicting Florida history. While the main public area is on the ground floor, the central rotunda has a second level, topped by a cupola.
Significance: A notable example of Depression-era federal architecture, built under the Works Progress Administration (WPA).
Cheney designed the post office with a tall circular lobby with a cone-shaped roof and a thin tall cupola; a small round fountain directly beneath it and murals by Charles Hardman depicting Ponce de Leon's invasion of Florida on the wall above gold-colored post office boxes.
The building features a noteworthy main entrance with double doors topped by a ten-foot-high wall of glass blocks that allow natural light to fill the lobby. Just above the doorway a large stone eagle dominates the entrance. From the main lobby, the post office branches off to the rear service area and the side lobby where customers are received.
Charles Hardman, a native Floridian, was commissioned to paint a mural in 1940 by the Section of Fine Arts of the Works Progress Administration. He created a three-section mural that adorns the lobby wall. The sections are entitled Discovery, which shows Ponce de Leon’s arrival in Florida in 1513; de Soto and the Indians, showing Hernando de Soto and his men engaged in battle with Native Americans in 1539; and Conference, which shows General Thomas Jesup negotiating with Native Americans after the Second Seminole War in 1837. Hardman also painted a mural entitled Indians Receiving Gifts for the post office in Guntersville, Alabama.

“Bundalohn House” is a splendid late Victorian mansion built opposite the St Kilda Botanic Gardens on Tennyson Street in the Melbourne suburb of St. Kilda.
Designed by architectural firm Reed Henderson and Smart in Gothic Renaissance style for Mr. Henry Gyles Turner and his wife Helen, “Bundalohn House” was constructed between 1884 and 1887 as a permanent residence for the childless pair after Henry’s mother’s death. Henry had decided that the lifestyle and amusements that Melbourne had to offer were far superior to that offered in London, so he acquired land in what was then St Kilda’s most prestigious residential addresses. Constructed of red brick and originally with a slate roof, “Bundalohn House” was considered architecturally advanced at its time of construction, as it took the style of large houses and mansions that would be built in the 1890s. The use of red face brickwork, the design of the window glazing bar patterns, architraves and skirtings are all advanced. Key elements of the facade are the tower and the projecting hallway with its deep windows beneath the gable. The design is dominated by a central feature in the main body of the house by incorporating two long, tall lancet windows extending across the first and second floor levels. Below are two dwarf windows. Across the rest of the house, the windows are paired between the ground and upper storeys. There have been comparisons drawn between “Bundalohn House” and “Marymeade” built in 1887 by Hyndman and Bates for merchant Mr. Harold R. Carter in the Grace Park subdivision in Hawthorn. Hyndman and Bates did extensions to the back of “Bundalohn House” in 1888 and 1889. Although rather severe today, when “Bundalohn House” was built it featured an open balcony on the second floor to the right of the tower entrance, and a conservatory below. Both were painted in white. Sadly, these have been removed in subsequent years.
The principal rooms and front door of “Bundalohn House” all open off a large central vestibule, which contains a grand staircase and the showcase pair of beautiful stained glass windows containing birds and boughs of flowers. The vestibule is largely intact more than a century after its construction and still contains its original stencilled decoration, elaborate balustrades and beneath the gallery is an elaborate fireplace with a tapered chimney breast.
The name “Bundalohn” means “white man’s camp” in the language spoken by the Moorabbin tribe. The couple also owned a property by this name in Dandenong. After the widowed Henry died in 1920, with no children to whom to leave “Bundalohn House” to, the property was sold and sub-divided. The sub-division created Bundalohn Court, named after the house. The house itself was converted into five flats. The new owner, William Darbyshire, also lived in one of the flats. This meant the division of some of the grander rooms, the removal of original features and the introduction of cooking and bathing facilities. The property was further added to over the years during a period when St. Kilda became a seedy mecca for rooming houses, of which “Bundalohn House” was one.
For many years, barely any of “Bundalohn House” could be seen from the street after the City Gate Travel Flats were built on the former front garden and driveway in the 1960s, and for a very brief period the façade of the grand mansion could be seen from Tennyson Street, dominating the streetscape proudly as it must once have done when it overlooked the St Kilda Botanic Gardens from within its own landscaped gardens. I was fortunate enough to see and photograph it during that brief period. Sadly, it has since been hidden from the world again as a new construction of low-cost public housing and a refuge have been built on the former City Gate Travel Flats site.
Henry Gyles Turner was born in Kensington, England in 1831. In 1854, he left England, and travelled to Melbourne where he worked for the Bank of Australasia. His fiancée Helen Ramsay, also from London, followed him to Australia, and they were married at Prahran in 1855. In 1870, he became the general manager of Commercial Bank of Australia. In 1887, Henry and Helen bought land in Tennyson Street and built “Bundalohn House”. In his lifetime, Henry Turner also held the position of president of the Melbourne Chamber of Commerce, trusteeship of the Melbourne Public Library, the National Gallery of Victoria, and the St Kilda Cemetery Trust. He also wrote a number of books. His wife Helen was involved with various charities, such as the St Kilda Benevolent Society. She died in May 1914. Henry died at his beloved “Bundalohn House” in November 1920 and was buried in the St. Kilda Cemetery alongside his wife.
Bates Smart is an architectural firm with studios in Melbourne and Sydney, Australia. Founded in 1853 by Joseph Reed it is known as one of Australia's oldest architectural firms, and has been responsible for numerous landmark buildings including the Royal Exhibition Buildings, the Melbourne Town Hall, the Wesleyan Church in Lonsdale Street, St Paul’s Cathedral on Flinders Street, the Ormond College clock tower, St. Michael’s Church on Collins Street, the Sate Library of Victoria, Holy Trinity Church in Balaclava, the former Metropolitan Gas Company buildings on Flinders Street, Sacred heart Church in St Kilda, Melba Hall and Scots Church on Collins Street. When “Bundalohn House” was built, it was known as Reed Henderson and Smart. Joseph Reed established his firm on arrival in Melbourne in 1853 and immediately won important commissions such as the Public Library. In 1863 he joined with Frederick Barnes to become Reed and Barnes. In 1883 Barnes retired, and A. Henderson and F. Smart joined Joseph Reed as partners to create Reed, Henderson and Smart.
