According to person in the know on the internet (I asked for help in finding this bike)
It's got a full set of Velo Orange finishing kit (racks, stem ,seatpost, bottle cages I think) (VO do make frames, though never seen one with a disc).
I think the hub is a Shimano Alfine with a JTek shifter - which is pretty niche. That, with the frame coloured guards may point towards a pretty specific custom jobbie. Will have a dig around and see if I can find something similar. The retro finishing kit plus disc brake must be pretty rare.
Here's the photo I took, I saw this one at work and fell in love at first sight: lh3.googleusercontent.com/-aZmiK4S4tpQ/VC20Zwr3VlI/AAAAAA...
The 4620 was one of the two (4520) introduced mid 60's with engines designed for turbochargers. Deere engin eers thought the add-on turbo kits many farmers were converting on 4020s were hurting the reliability of their diesel engines. So Waterloo's solution was to give-em-what they wanted". The turbo-built diesel had piston skirt oil spray, new designed hat-type piston-top-relief, special compression ring that sealed better with higher pressure, more oil control rings, and higher cooling system capacity.

Built between 1922 and 1924, the Gothic Revival-style red brick St. John Catholic Church was designed by St. Louis-based firm Ludewig & Dreisoerner for the St. John Catholic Church congregation, the third-oldest catholic congregation in Covington, formed in 1854 and originally located at the corner of Worth Street and Leonard Street in Lewisburg. The site was purchased by the congregation in 1908 following the slumping of the hillside under the previous church, which made it structurally unsound. In 1913-1914, the adjacent Colonial Revival and Gothic Revival-style building that now houses the Prince of Peace Catholic School, originally the St. John Parochial School, was constructed on Pike Street to house the congregation, including a large auditorium with seating for 600 on the first floor, which temporarily housed church services, classrooms, a pastor's apartment, and rooms for the nuns of the parish convent. In 1922, the rectory was built to the rear of the school in the Flemish Revival style, and features a jerkinhead (clipped gable) roof, two one-story bay windows flanking the central entry, and a gable parapet with a large finial that announces the extensively trimmed door below. Following a successful fundraising campaign, ground was broken for the current church on Pike Street next to the school in 1922, and it was completed and dedicated in 1924. The church measures 64 feet wide by 163 feet long, with a 163-foot-tall steeple that rises high over Pike Street. The exterior of the church features more restrained ornament and trim crafted from limestone, which incorporates many gothic motifs and sculptural elements, and an irregularly-shaped base with several wings housing smaller rooms surrounding the base of the church. Inside the church, there is a carved wooden ceiling, hand-carved marble altars from Italy, frescoes painted by local artist Nino L. Passalacqua in 1960, and many stained glass windows crafted by Dr. Oidtmann of Linnich, Germany. During the early-to-mid-20th Century, as the suburbs to the south and west of the parish continued to grow, it initially saw an increase in attendance, being slowed when St. Agnes Parish was split off and constructed in Fort Wright in 1930. In the 1960s, the parish began to see a decline in attendance at both the church and school, as Catholics left the surrounding neighborhood and moved to the suburbs, leading to the consolidation in 1986 of St. John School with St. Ann School in Botany Hills, Mother of God School in Mutter Gottes, and the St. Boniface School and St. James School in nearby Ludlow, Kentucky, forming the Prince of Peace School, staffed by the Sisters of Notre Dame, whom had ran the St. John School from its inception, as well as teachers who were not nuns. As the demographics of the area continued to shift, St. Ann Church in nearby Botany Hills ceased operating as a parish, and became a mission church of St. John in 1999. The St. John Catholic Parish buildings are contributing structures in the Lewisburg Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.
The earliest Jewish settlers in Corsicana arrived in 1871, the year rail lines were built to the area. In 1898 a group of reformed Jews established Temple Beth-El. Two years later they built this house of worship, which features two distinctive octagonal towers with onion-shaped domes. Corsicana's Jewish residents have made many significant contributions to the city's growth and development, and the Temple now serves as a reminder of their rich heritage.

Built in 1610, the Palace of the Governors is the oldest continuously occupied building in the United States. It has served as the state capitol (1846) and was once the seat of government for Nuevo Mexico--a Spanish colony covering much of the Southwest. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1966.
They also do a very nice event called Christmas at the Palace which includes free admission, snacks, activities and music.

Built between 1879 and 1882, this American Florentine Revival-style building was the former royal palace for the Kingdom of Hawaii, designed by Thomas J. Baker, Charles J. Wall, and Isaac Moore for King David Kalākaua. The palace was the home of the monarchs of the Kingdom of Hawaii between 1882 and 1893, the executive building of the provisional government and Republic of Hawaii from 1893 until 1898, the capitol building of the Territory of Hawaii from 1898 until 1959, and the capitol building of the State of Hawaii from 1959 until 1969. During its time as a territorial and state capitol, the building was altered and renovated, removing or neglecting several original features, enclosing parts of the lanais that encircle the building’s exterior, adding additional office space outside of the building’s original footprint, and replacing some of the original windows with french doors. The building replaced an earlier ‘Iolani Palace, a western-style structure with elements reminiscent of the Greek Revival style and Creole cottages in the United States, which stood on the same site, and was built in 1844-45. The earlier palace was an aliʻi, which featured no sleeping quarters, but included a dining room, throne room, and a reception room, being only about ⅓ the size of the present building. The previous building had similarities to the present structure, including a raised lanai wrapping around the entire structure, with a hipped roof, a doric colonnade, large windows, and separate homes on the grounds where the royal family lived and slept. By 1874, when King David Kalākaua ascended to power, the original palace, built of wood was in poor condition, and in 1879, the building was demolished and construction began on the present palace. Inspired by knowledge of European royal palaces and architecture, the palace features four corner towers and towers on the front and rear facades, which all feature mansard roofs topped with cornices and cresting, arched double-hung windows, quoins, decorative relief panels, circular medallions on the arched and circular roof dormers, and flagpoles atop each mansard roof. Between the towers and on the second and third floors of the front and rear towers are lanais on the first and second floors of each side of the building, with staircases to the entrances on the front and rear at the foot of the towers, corinthian columns supporting arches, decorative balustrades, iron railings on the second floor, large windows and door openings with decorative trim surrounds, decorative tile floors, decorative ceilings, a cornice above, and a decorative railing wrapping the base of the building’s large low-slope and hipped roof. Underneath the lanais and enclosed spaces of the second and third floors of the palace is the basement, which is surrounded by a light well, with access provided to exterior entrances on the sides of the building via staircases. Inside, the palace has a layout with large rooms on either side of a central hallway on the first and second floors, which are linked via a large grand staircase, with the first floor hallway known as the Grand Hall. On one side of the Grand Hall is the throne room, taking up the entirety of this part of the first floor, with a dressing room behind the thrones, while on the other side of the Grand Hall is the Blue Room, a reception hall, and the State Dining Room, with a bathroom, and butler’s pantry between the State Dining Room and the Grand Hall. On the second floor, the hallway features a ceiling with two decorative medallions on either side of a central stained glass dome, with the room where Queen Liliʻuokalani was imprisoned for 9 months following the second of the Wilcox rebellions in 1895 sitting on the ocean-facing side of this end of the building, with a restroom and closet between this room and the Queen’s Bedroom. All bedrooms on this floor are linked via diagonal hallways to the second floor rooms in the corner towers, which are utilized as small sitting rooms. On the opposite side of the hallway is the King’s Bedroom, King’s Office, and Music Room, as well as an additional bathroom. In the basement, the building is split by two hallways that intersect at the base of the basement stairs, running between the building’s service areas, including the kitchen, as well as administrative offices for the Kingdom of Hawaii, with most of the space now mostly housing exhibits and display cases. The interior of the building features extensive detailing and decoration that was restored after the building ceased being utilized as the State Capitol in 1969, including grand carved and reproduction staircases and balusters, decorative plaster ceilings with medallions, decorative crown moulding, carved wood doors and trim, wood floors, bathrooms with built-in water closets, sinks, bathtubs, and showers, period appropriate light fixtures, as well as period and reproduction furnishings and pieces of art that were in the building during the Kingdom of Hawaii period. The palace was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1962, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966. Following the completion of the Hawaii State capitol in 1969, a 9-year restoration program was carried out on the palace, with the palace opening in 1978 as a museum, run by the nonprofit organization Friends of ʻIolani Palace, that preserves the structure and tells the story of the Hawaiian Royal family who once resided and ruled from the palace, as well as allowing for visitors to admire the beautiful restored and preserved details of the interior and exterior of the building. On January 17, 1993, a vigil was held on the grounds of the palace, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii by a group consisting of primarily white American businessmen, deposing the monarchy that had ruled the kingdom from 1795 until 1893. The grounds of the palace features restored landscaping intended to show what the palace looked like at the time of its completion, and the relocated ‘Iolani Barracks that once stood on the present site of the present state capitol, which now sits to the northeast of the main palace. The building is the only former royal Palace in the United States, and sits in the middle of park-like grounds surrounded by state, federal, and local government buildings in the heart of Downtown Honolulu.

Fort Rotterdam is a 17th-century fort in Makassar on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia. It is a Dutch fort built on top of an existing fort of the Gowa Kingdom. The first fort on the site was constructed by the a local sultan in around 1634, to counter Dutch encroachments. The site was ceded to the Dutch under the Treaty of Bongaya, and they completely rebuilt it between 1673 and 1679. It had six bastions and was surrounded by a seven meter high rampart and a two meter deep moat.
The fort was the Dutch regional military and governmental headquarters until the 1930s. It was extensively restored in the 1970s and is now a cultural and educational centre, a venue for music and dance events, and a tourist destination.
HISTORY
Fort Rotterdam was built on the location of an earlier Makassarese fort, called Ujung Pandang. Although it has been claimed by some authors that this fort dates back to 1545, there is no direct evidence for this. It seems more likely that the fort was built in 1634, as part of a fortification programme that the Makassar rulers undertook in response to a war with the Dutch East India Company (VOC) which broke out in that year. The original fort, Jum Pandan (allegedly named after the pandanus trees growing in the vicinity), gave its name to the city Ujung Pandang, another name for the city of Makassar.
In 1667 Fort Ujung Pandang was ceded to the Dutch as part of the Treaty of Bongaya, after the defeat of the Sultanate of Gowa in the Makassar War. In subsequent years it was entirely rebuilt on the initiative of Dutch admiral Cornelis Speelman, to become the center of Dutch colonial power in Sulawesi. It was renamed Fort Rotterdam after Speelman's place of birth. In the years 1673–1679 it got its five bastions and the 'turtle' shape it still has to this day. This shape gave the fort the nickname "Benteng Penyu" ("sea-turtle fort").
The stone for the construction of the fort was taken from the karst mountains in Maros, the limestone from Selayar and the timber from Tanete and Bantaeng. Following the Java War of 1825–1830, Javanese prince, and now national hero, Diponegoro was imprisoned in the fort following his exile to Makassar in 1830 until his death in 1855. It was also used as a Japanese prisoner of war camp in World War II.
Fort Rotterdam remained the regional Dutch military and governmental headquarters until the 1930s. After 1937, the fort was no longer used as a defense. During the brief Japanese occupation it was used for conducting scientific research in the field of linguistics and agriculture, after which it fell into disrepair. In the 1970s, the fort was extensively restored.
DESCRIPTION
Fort Rotterdam lies in the centre of Makassar. It is rectangular in shape, surrounded by a seven meter wall. It was originally equipped with six bulwarks, five of which are still visible: Bastion Bonie (after Bone state) to the west; Bastion Boeton (after Buton Island) to the northwest; Bastion Batjang (after the Bacan Islands) to the southwest; Bastion Mandassar to the northeast; and Bastion Amboina (after Ambon) to the southeast. The sixth bulwark, Bastion Ravelin, is no longer visible. Some of the bastions still contain cannons. It is possible to walk over most of the ramparts. A two meter deep moat system used to surround the perimeter of the fort, however only the southwest portion of the moat can still be seen.
CURRENT STATUS
Inside the fort are thirteen buildings, eleven of them are 17th-century original buildings of the fort; most are still good in condition. At the centre of the fort is a church building. Several buildings along the north and south curtain walls still exist. The buildings along the northern curtain wall were some of the oldest buildings, dating from 1686, such as the residence of the governor, residence of the senior merchant, of the captain, the predikant, and the secretary, with several storage buildings for weapons. The governor's residence at the north-westernmost corner is nicknamed as "the Speelman's House", however Speelman himself never actually lived in this house. The house was used by the governor of Celebes until the mid 19th-century when he moved to a more comfortable villa in Jalan Ahmad Yani. The Speelman's House now houses part of La Galigo museum. La Galigo museum has some prehistoric megaliths from Watampone, as well as ancient weapons, coins, shells, utensils, sketches and stamps.
The buildings on the south curtain, originally used for storage, house a museum displaying local skills in silk weaving, agriculture and boatbuilding; and scale models of indigenous boats. The barracks on the eastern wall now house a small library, featuring old Dutch books that mostly belonged to Reverend Mates, a 19th-century missionary. There are also ships' logs of VOC captains and ancient lontar manuscripts. The department of archaeology is housed in the former building of the head of administration for the VOC; the ground floor of the building, located in the southeast corner of the fort, was formerly a prison. The other two buildings inside Fort Rotterdam were built by the Japanese during the Japanese occupation period. The southwestern Bastion (Bastion Bacan) contains a prison where Prince Diponegoro was imprisoned at the end of his life.
The fort is now used to hold various events. There is a conservatory for music and dance, an archive of the city, and a historic and archaeological institute.

There are dual derelict foundations here, of a home on a rise and a barn downstream below her. These rocks stand sturdy under naked sumacs, well-built bones with no walls above them. The well still holds water beneath spreading pine branches, but tired strangers hold their thirst for later. Civilization is distant and silent, the pheasants have this place to themselves, and I'm just a peasant in a place of rich history. There are kings made of memories out here, dreams in days of heaven. I can't keep track of everything worth remembering, but I promise to try my best.
I changed my mind about which pieces of the pattern I'd use for the neckline mid-way through, so it's not quite right. But, I like it anyway.

Built in 1926-1930, Tower City Center was designed by Graham, Anderson, Probst and White for the Van Sweringen Brothers. The complex is a large mixed-use development on the south side of Public Square in Downtown Cleveland. Originally known as Cleveland Union Station, the buildings were built in order to serve as the main passenger train station for the city, as well as office space, a retail arcade, and a hotel. The most recognizable and prominent part of the complex is Terminal Tower, which has 52 floors and is 771 feet tall, which made it the tallest building in North America outside of New York City from 1927 until 1964. Terminal Tower was constructed in the Beaux Arts style and modeled on the New York Municipal Building, and is now the second-tallest building in Cleveland and in the state of Ohio, following the construction of Key Tower on the opposite side of Public Square in 1991, and is currently slated for partial conversion into apartments. Other buildings in the complex include the Hotel Cleveland, constructed in 1918 and incorporated into the Terminal Tower building when it was constructed, the Art Deco-style Landmark Office Towers Complex, located to the south of Terminal Tower and were constructed at the same time as Terminal Tower. In 1991, two new office buildings were constructed over the old train concourse, which also include a large atrium between them. The construction of the complex in 1926-1930 necessitated a large excavation project, which at the time was second only to the Panama Canal in size. The complex covers four city blocks and is some of the most prized and valuable real estate in the city, and was built during the city's peak in economic prowess and population. Today, the complex no longer houses an intercity passenger rail station, as it was decided to be too inefficient to route trains away from the lakefront route that more directly connects Toledo to Buffalo. However, the complex remains the central nexus of the city's rapid transit system, with the Blue Line, Red Line, and Green Line all feeding into the building, which acts as a central hub.
