Thanks for viewing the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis album:
The modern ceiling in the otherwise old building of the Grand Hotel Amrâth Kurhaus in The Hague adds a cheerful note to the entrance hall.
St Pancras Renaissance Hotel is George Gilbert Scott's Gothic Revival ‘magnus opus’, with its Hogwarts-style steeples and gargoyles.
The grandeur of the Grand Staircase is like walking into a scene from Harry Potter. The vaulted ceiling with a painted celestial scene reminds you of Firenze’s Divination classes.
In 1875 The Builder commented that “Railway termini and hotels are to the 19th century what monasteries and cathedrals were to the 13th century; they are the only truly representative buildings we possess”. These were astute words indeed as the combination of St Pancras station and the hotel are surely our nation’s strongest symbols of Victorian pride, true proclamations of the power of our steam age. The public mirrored this sentiment, exclaiming: “St George for England and St Pancras for Scotland” when the full majesty of the building was revealed (access to Scotland from the station had recently been secured).
This iconic, beautiful old castle in Europe. Despite visiting Belgium many many times exploring, this was the first time I'd seen this place.
Last minute 48 hour trip taking in a few new spots and some old locations. 17 hour days and mixed weather added to the fun.

The Detroit Public Library is the second largest library system in the U.S. state of Michigan by volumes held (after the University of Michigan Library) and is the 21st largest library system (and the fourth-largest public library system) in the United States.[2] It is composed of the Main Library on Woodward Avenue, which houses the library's administration offices, and 23 branch locations across the city. The Main Library is part of Detroit's Cultural Center Historic District listed in the National Register of Historic Places adjacent to Wayne State University campus and across from the Detroit Institute of Arts.
Designed by Cass Gilbert, the Detroit Public Library was constructed with Vermont marble and serpentine Italian marble trim in an Italian Renaissance style. His son, Cass Gilbert, Jr. was a partner with Francis J. Keally in the design of the library's additional wings added in 1963. Among his other buildings, Cass Gilbert designed the United States Supreme Court Building in Washington, DC, the Minnesota State Capitol and the Woolworth Building in New York Cit
