Built in 1902, this depot was used by the Blackwell, Enid, & Southwestern Railroad and the St. Louis and San Francisco (Frisco) Railroad.
Charles E. Hunter, agent for the BES Townsite Company, made an agreement with the Gosnell townspeople to place the depot there if they would change the town's name to Frederick, after the son of railroad director Jacob C. Van Blarcom. The town offered several lots to the railroad, which immediately built a depot. The post office name was officially changed from Gosnell to Frederick on September 30, 1902.
This depot used to serve three passenger trains per day. After the automobile became popular, travel by train diminished and the depot closed to business.
The Frisco Depot was scheduled for demolition, but members of the Tillman County Historical Society and staff at the Tulsa office of the Frisco Railroad worked out a deal to save it. The depot was moved to this site in May 1985. The Pioneer Heritage Townsite Center also houses a 1902 Schoolhouse and other artifacts. There is a Frisco caboose also on this site next to the depot.

Late 70s Tom Ritchey built road frame and fork.
I was told that this bike belonged to one of Tom's friends and it was ordered out of and built in Tom's parents garage around 1978.
No ritchey decals remain on the bike, but fillet brazing, seat cluster, and bb are all characteristic of Tom Ritchey.
Tom Ritchey brazed frames from the 70s are rather rare. This frame was made before Tom started using serial numbers, as it doesn't have a serial number.
No dents, dings, etc. There is some paint spidering on the top tube and down tube, assorted chips around the bb, and some chipping on the dropouts. All issues pictured.
Comes with original fork but no seat binder bolt.

Built by Henry Clay Frick to outdo the size of a building owned by partner/rival Andrew Carnegie, the Frick Building was the tallest in the city at the time of its 1902 completion. Pittsburgh has one of the country's greatest collections of early skyscrapers, and this is one of several in the city designed by Daniel Burnham.

Heygate Estate was built 1974 and was initially very popular among its council tenants but slowly got a reputation for violence and social problems and is now in the process of being demolished. Since 2007 many movies and TV productions have been filmed here. One reason is that most residents have moved out due to increasingly bad
reputation of the area which means it has been easy to create sets for filming. The other reason is the very time typical 60-70s architecture (that I tend to like without being some urban hipster) that have been left very much in its original state which showed to be popular among directors doing stories of urban decay…
The area will now be redeveloped and a new type of resident will move in that probably not will be council tenants.
More pictures here.
Built prior to 1890
Bannack was founded as a mining community in 1862 and named for the local Bannock Indian tribe. It briefly served as the capital city of the newly created Montana Territory in 1864, until the capital was moved to Virginia City. It was the Beaverhead County seat until the seat was moved to Dillon in 1881. The last residents of the community moved out in the 1970s. The site of the town is today Bannack State Park and National Historic Landmark.

LOVE LOVE LOVE these chairs!! We built these on the smaller side for a small bedroom. I love the texture of this fabric and the way it flows so beautifully with the dressmaker skirt. The cushion insert is spring down, thus the beautiful loft/crown! The chairs are identical - perfectly matching fabric pattern on each chair.
The Kangarilla Temperance Hall built 1874–1875 of sandstone rubble by the Society of Good Templars whose objects included spreading enlightened opinions about the evils of intemperance and to have the temptation removed by legislative prohibition of the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors as a beverage.
The additions of 1930 added a room to each side of the hall giving the building the appearance of a church.
The entrance porch and verandah are later additions.
The hall is still is in use by the Kangarilla community. Proclaimed Tent 18 by the Independent Order of Rechabites 20-11-1882.
The Foundation stone of a Temperance Hall has been laid at Kangarilla by Mrs J Bottrill. A subsequent picnic was followed by a tea meeting, and afterwards addresses and recitations were given. Mr J Carr MP, presided. The Kangarilla Choir sang excellent music.
The financial results of the gathering were satisfactory, and the building, for which Mr G Prewett is the contractor, will add much to the picturesque appearance of the township. [Ref: South Australian Register 14-1-1875]
The Good Templar’s Hall at Kangarilla is progressing and will prove an acquisition to the place. [Ref: South Australian Register 13-3-1875]
Kangarilla May 31
The opening of the Temperance Hall took place on Sunday the 23rd, when Mr J C Minns from Adelaide preached twice to large congregations. A picnic followed on Monday. At 4 o'clock tea was provided, of which about 300 persons partook.
The room was crowded, and £55 8s. 9d. was contributed towards paying the debt on the building. [Ref: South Australian Register 3-6-1875]
The foundation stone of the new portion of the Temperance Hall was laid by Mr W E Bottrill, of Adelaide. The ground on which the hall now stands was given by Mr Bottrill’s grandfather, and the foundation stone of the Temperance Hall was laid by his grandmother.
Mr L J Giles (chairman of the trust) presented Mr Bottrill with a silver souvenir.
Sports were held during the afternoon. [Ref: Advertiser 26-6-1930]
The Karlsruhe castle is the center of the Karlsruhe fan. It was built in 1715-1718 by order of Margrave Karl Wilhelm of Baden-Durlach and was until 1918 Royal Palace of each reigning sovereign (Margrave, later Grand Duke of Baden).
General
Before the castle lies the Palace Square. Directly behind the castle begins the castle garden. The castle along with court and garden does not belong to the city of Karlsruhe, but the state of Baden-Württemberg. It houses the Badische State Museum and the castle café.
From the castle tower you can enjoy a very good view into the Karlsruhe fan. To experience this, though, 158 steps in the castle tower have got to overcome.
In October 2013, the castle for a comprehensive facade and roof renovation was completely scaffolded. The state invests four million euros in the measures. The scaffolds are likely to be dismantled in March 2015 and thus before the extensive celebrations of the 300th anniversary of the city. In addition to optical measures thereby porous sandstone and rotten wood must be replaced. The previous facade renovation took place in 1988.
History
Original construction in 1715
Architect of built 1715-1718 castle was the engineer lieutenant Jakob Friedrich von Batzendorf, construction manager was Heinrich Schwartz from Hamburg. The outer walls as well as the castle tower, which constituted a novelty at that time, were built of stone, the interior design was built for reasons of cost of wood. The western wing was, also for reasons of cost, originally shorter than the eastern wing which also contained a ballroom, an opera house and a chapel.
Renovation and reconstruction from 1750
From 1750, the castle had got to be thoroughly overhauled because it was originally built with poor building materials. In the period 1752-1785 it was according to repeatedly revised plans by Balthasar Neumann of Albrecht Friedrich von Kesslau (around 1728-1788), the then Planning Director at Baden Court, and his successor Wilhelm Jeremias Müller in the Baroque style completely rebuilt of stone. in doing so, the castle itself has been changed several times in the interior and refurbished.
The garden hall was 1819 the venue of the Second Chamber of the Parliament of Baden.
In 1846 the castle rooms and the Palace Square and the adjoining south ministries were first illuminated by means of city gas and gas lanterns.
Baden Revolution 1848/1849
1849, Grand Duke Leopold of Baden by revolutionaries temporarily was expelled from the castle.
20th century
Until the death of Grand Duke Friedrich I in 1907 he lived also in the castle. After the death of Frederick I his wife Grand Duchess Louise did not move to a widow's seat but remained until the end of the monarchy in 1918 in the castle; her son, now Grand Duke Friedrich II, continued to live in Hereditary Grand Ducal Palais (today the BGH/Federal Supreme Court).
1921, in the former Residence the collections for Archaeology and Ethnology and the stocks of the Museum of Decorative Arts as Badisches Landesmuseum were merged.
During World War II the whole castle got a dark camouflage to complicate target recognition from the air. In September 1944, the Karlsruhe Castle was nevertheless totally destroyed by bombing. It was rebuilt - despite interim considerations to demolish the ruins for creating new living space - and restored the historic facade. During reconstruction halls have been created which correspond with the latest technical conditions in museum buildings.
Maryland State House
Stamp (City Letter) (54 ¢)
The tower of the State House in Annapolis, Maryland (USA), is the tower of Karlsruhe Castle so similar that it is speculated that this is a replica.
Das Karlsruher Schloss ist das Zentrum des Karlsruher Fächers. Es wurde zwischen 1715 und 1718 im Auftrag des Markgrafen Karl Wilhelm von Baden-Durlach errichtet und war bis 1918 Residenzschloss des jeweils regierenden Landesherrn (Markgrafen, später Großherzogs, von Baden).
Allgemein
Vor dem Schloss liegt der Schlossplatz. Direkt hinter dem Schloss beginnt der Schlossgarten. Das Schloss samt Platz und Garten gehört nicht der Stadt Karlsruhe, sondern dem Land Baden-Württemberg. Es beherbergt das Badische Landesmuseum und das Schlosscafé.
Vom Schlossturm aus bietet sich ein sehr guter Blick in den Karlsruher Fächer. Um diesen erleben zu können, sind allerdings 158 Stufen im Schlossturm zu überwinden.
Im Oktober 2013 wurde das Schloss für eine umfassende Fassaden- und Dachsanierung vollständig eingerüstet. Das Land investiert vier Millionen Euro in die Maßnahmen. Die Baugerüste sollen voraussichtlich im März 2015 wieder abgebaut werden und damit vor den umfangreichen Feierlichkeiten anlässlich des 300. Stadtjubiläums. Neben optischen Maßnahmen muss dabei poröser Sandstein und verfaultes Holz ersetzt werden. Die vorhergehende Fassadenrenovierung fand im Jahr 1988 statt.
Geschichte
Ursprünglicher Bau 1715
Architekt des zwischen 1715 und 1718 gebauten Schlosses war der Ingenieur-Leutnant Jakob Friedrich von Batzendorf, Bauleiter war Heinrich Schwartz aus Hamburg. Die Außenmauern sowie der Schlossturm, der zu jener Zeit ein Novum darstellte, wurden aus Stein erbaut, der Innenausbau wurde aus Kostengründen aus Holz errichtet. Der westliche Flügel war, ebenfalls aus Kostengründen, ursprünglich kürzer als der östliche Flügel, der auch einen Ballsaal, ein Opernhaus und eine Kapelle enthielt.
Sanierung und Umbau ab 1750
Ab 1750 musste das Schloss grundlegend saniert werden, weil es ursprünglich mit schlechtem Baumaterial gebaut worden war. In der Zeit zwischen 1752 und 1785 wurde es nach mehrfach geänderten Plänen Balthasar Neumanns von Albrecht Friedrich von Kesslau (um 1728-1788), dem damaligen Baudirektor am badischen Hof, und von seinem Nachfolger Wilhelm Jeremias Müller im Stil des Barock vollständig aus Stein umgebaut. Dabei wurde das Schloss auch im Inneren mehrfach verändert und neu möbliert.
Der Gartensaal war 1819 der Tagungsort der Zweiten Kammer des badisches Parlaments.
Im Jahr 1846 wurden die Schlossräume sowie der Schlossplatz und die südlich daran angrenzenden Ministerien erstmals mittels Stadtgas und Gaslaternen beleuchtet.
Badische Revolution 1848/1849
1849 wurde Großherzog Leopold von badischen Revolutionären zeitweise aus dem Schloss vertrieben.
20. Jahrhundert
Bis zum Tod Großherzog Friedrichs I. im Jahr 1907 wohnte dieser auch im Schloss. Nach dem Tod Friedrichs I. zog dessen Gemahlin Großherzogin Luise nicht auf einen Witwensitz, sondern blieb bis zum Ende der Monarchie 1918 im Schloss; ihr Sohn, nun Großherzog Friedrich II., wohnte weiterhin im Erbgroßherzoglichen Palais (heute Sitz des BGH).
1921 wurden in der ehemaligen Residenz die Sammlungen für Altertums- und Völkerkunde und die Bestände des Kunstgewerbemuseums als Badisches Landesmuseum zusammengeführt.
Im Zweiten Weltkrieg erhielt das ganze Schloss einen dunklen Tarnanstrich, um eine Zielerfassung aus der Luft zu erschweren. Im September 1944 wurde das Karlsruher Schloss durch Bombenangriffe dennoch total zerstört. Es wurde wiederaufgebaut – trotz zwischenzeitlicher Überlegungen, die Ruine für die Schaffung neuen Wohnraumes abzureißen – und die historische Fassade wiederhergestellt. Beim Wiederaufbau wurden den neuesten museumstechnischen Bedingungen entsprechende Säle gestaltet.

i'm not in love with the cut. i might hack the sleeves (they look cute standing like this, but um, not when regularly standing). then again, it's nice to have long sleeves- i can never find dresses with them.
i definitely want to make the shirt from this pattern- i think i i will like it better.
