Townsend Building at 1123 Broadway on 25th St in Manhattan.It's a 12-story commercial office building.The chamfered corner neo-Classical structure was built in 1896 during the Gilded Age (an era in the US between 1870-1900).The building stands on the former site of the Worth Hotel.The building to the right of it is The St James Building so called because it also was preceded by a former hotel called the St James Hotel which was built in 1857. The former St James hotel was almost burned down in a planned attack against hotels in the area by Confederate terrorists in 1864 during the American Civil War.It was saved however by heroic efforts made by its patrons and employees who put out the fire.

Die spätgotische Kirche wurde nach einer westlich am Chorbogen aufgemalten Jahreszahl mit daneben befindlichem Meisterschild im Jahr 1456 erbaut.

Das Innere wird von den zweibahnigen Fenstern mit ursprünglichem Maßwerk erhellt. Das überraschend geräumige Innere ist für die Region relativ steil proportioniert. Im Schiff gliedern kräftig gefaste Schildbogenstellungen mit vorgelegten Halbrunddiensten die Wand.

The late Gothic church was built in 1456 according to a year painted on the west side of the chancel arch with the master's shield next to it.

The interior is lit by the double-paneled windows with original tracery. The surprisingly roomy interior is relatively steeply proportioned for the region. In the nave, strongly chamfered shield arch positions with presented semicircular services divide the wall.

Anstruther Easter Parish Church Fife Scotland by neil jackson

ANSTRUTHER EASTER PARISH CHURCH

The church is situated on School Green, in the centre of Anstruther Easter, in a sloping graveyard and is surrounded by a coped wall. The graveyard surrounds the church to the north, south and east. The churchyard wall and rounded archway to the south date to 1631. There are several memorials with mortality symbolism

Under the direction of the minister at Kilrenny parish church, land was acquired in 1592 for a new church to be built in Anstruther so that local residents could avoid having to make the journey to Kilrenny. The building of the church was completed in 1634, six years before becoming a parish separate from Kilrenny.

The church has recently undergone extensive repairs both external and internal supported by a Heritage Lottery grant.

J Dowling

The church consists of a central cell built of squared sandstone, which is harled to the north, east and west and bare to the south with a tower and north session house. The church is rectangular. The tower is in the west gable. The east gable wall faces across the churchyard. Above the windows is a blocked round opening, and at the apex of the gable are the remains of a platform which formerly held a finial. Below the window is a series of memorials, including one to Captain David Henderson, inscribed with a ship. At the bottom of the wall a table tomb is sunk into the ground, inscribed with mortality symbols and heraldry.

The south wall has four sets of three tall, round headed windows with clear glass spaced irregularly along the wall. At the western end of the wall is a granite memorial to an Episcopal minister of Anstruther, dating to the mid-nineteenth century. East of this is the outline of a gable, suggesting that there had previously been a porch here. Under this is a semi-circular, chamfered blocked arch, a former doorway. The date '1835' is inscribed into the doorway on either side of a panel which states 'ENTER YE IN AT THE STRAIT FOR WID IS THE GAT AND BROAD IS THE WAY THAT LEADETH TO DESTRUCTION'. East of this an early nineteenth century memorial to a minister and a blind rectangular frame. There is a decorated framed memorial and a rectangular, blocked entrance further along the wall. Above the door is the date '1634'. Next to this is another decorated frame and a square-headed door with the date '1934' in the frame.

The north wall is harled with a set of three tall, round-headed windows, similar to those on the south. To the west of this is a square-headed window and to the east is the session house. .

The tower is situated in the centre of the west elevation. It is entered through a round arch, above which are six square-headed lights. There is a smaller, square-headed door to the north of the tower, which resembles the tollbooth tower at Pittenweem (site 1454). It is harled to just above the line of the roof of the church. Above this the church is built from coursed sandstone.

The tower was built to house a bell by a Danish bell foundry. According to the Kilrenny and Anstruther Burgh Collection, the bell carries an inscription "Andro Strang bougt this bell with his owne moneyes anno 1641".

The west elevation is the principal one. This is pierced by a series of rectangular vents which follow the line of the stairwell. Above this is a pair of louvered, rounded arches and a clockface, which is a late nineteenth century addition. To the north the profile of the tower is stepped back with a north west stairtower and caphouse sloping down the gable. The stairtower is pierced by a small rectangular vent. The belfry stage is corbelled and pierced by two louvered, rounded arches. There is a clock above. This arrangement is mirrored to the east and south. The tower is capped by a balustrade and parapet and lucarned stone spire with a weathervane. The parapet has water spouts, squat pinnacles and images of anchors carved in relief.

The session house is situated in the centre of the north wall. It covers the site of the Anstruther Aisle, which was blocked up in the 1830s. The building is harled and has a Scottish slate roof. It can be divided into two sections, one east-west, with a catslide roof and the other with a north facing, gabled facade, with three blocked round arch windows. Next to this is a small, square-headed door. The gable is capped by a small finial. The east-west section is entered through a small, square-headed door on its east elevation. The north elevation has two square-headed windows, the larger and more easterly of which is partially blocked. There is another square-headed door in the west elevation.

Basílica de la Virgen de la Peña, Graus, La Ribagorza, Huesca, Aragón, España.

La antigua basílica de la Virgen de la Peña se levanta en la villa española de Graus (Ribagorza, provincia de Huesca, Aragón). El actual templo se levantó a mediados del siglo XVI sobre un edificio románico anterior. Consta de iglesia, patio y hospital de peregrinos con un bello claustro-mirador.

Proponemos a los visitantes que comiencen la visita desde el interior de la iglesia. Allí quedan restos del edificio románico, en concreto en la parte inferior del muro del evangelio, donde hay una pequeña puerta en alto y sillares más pequeños. El edificio actual presenta, una nave única de dos tramos, cubiertos con bóvedas de terceletes (la de los pies era originalmente estrellada) y una cabecera plana sobre la que se levanta una torre poligonal rematada en chapitel. LLama la atención el achaflanamiento de los ángulos de los pies de la nave.

La puerta de entrada tiene arco de medio punto y abundante decoración: (candelieri, casetones, angelotes, escudos y guirnaldas) y se enmarca por columnas unidas por un entablamento. Frente a ella, el pórtico imita sus formas corintias. En su friso se encuentra la firma de Joan Tellet en dos cartelas junto a una pequeña ménsula que llama la atención del observador. Allí está también la puerta de la capilla de San Juan de Letrán y una escalinata que une el pórtico con el patio. la esquina de la iglesia nos hace comprender el achaflanamiento interior, ya que si no se hubiera adoptado esta solución los contrafuertes exteriores ocuparían el solar de esta escalinata.

La arquería del hospital se abre al patio. Allí vemos cómo la estructura de este edificio apoya sobre la de la iglesia. Otra arcada sobre columnas torsas nos ofrece una espléndida vista de Graus y de la confluencia de los ríos Ésera e Isábena. Al salir, bajando por la rampa, veremos la otra esquina de la iglesia y de nuevo entendemos el achaflanamiento interior la nave, pues otro contrafuerte exterior hubiera impedido el camino de acceso al conjunto.

Desde el exterior se observan diferencias en los dos tramos de la iglesia:

la primera fase de las obras articula sus paños con molduras y contrafuertes

la segunda, obra de Tellet, que presenta paños y esquinas lisos.

En el conjunto del hospital también se ven dos fases:

un modesto edificio de cuatro plantas (apoyado sobre la iglesia y sobre la entrada al conjunto) fue seguramente el primero en construirse y debía servir de residencia del clero

una ampliación, mucho más ambiciosa, de tres plantas: la primera, con la arcada de arcos de medio punto que cobija la rampa de acceso; la segunda, con el mirador de columnas torsas; y la última, de ladrillo y totalmente reconstruida, donde se hallaban habitaciones destinadas a hospital de peregrinos y donde se ubica actualmente un museo de iconos.

The ancient basilica of the Virgen de la Peña stands in the Spanish town of Graus (Ribagorza, province of Huesca, Aragon). The current temple was built in the mid-16th century on a previous Romanesque building. It consists of a church, patio and pilgrim hospital with a beautiful cloister-viewpoint.

We suggest visitors begin their visit from inside the church. There are remains of the Romanesque building, specifically in the lower part of the gospel wall, where there is a small high door and smaller ashlars. The current building has a single nave with two sections, covered with triplet vaults (the one at the foot was originally star-shaped) and a flat head on which rises a polygonal tower topped with a spire. The chamfering of the angles of the feet of the nave is striking.

The entrance door has a semicircular arch and abundant decoration: (candelieri, coffers, angels, shields and garlands) and is framed by columns joined by an entablature. In front of it, the porch imitates its Corinthian forms. On its frieze there is the signature of Joan Tellet in two cartouches along with a small corbel that draws the observer's attention. There is also the door to the chapel of San Juan de Letrán and a staircase that connects the portico with the patio. The corner of the church makes us understand the interior chamfering, since if this solution had not been adopted the exterior buttresses would occupy the site of this staircase.

The hospital archway opens to the patio. There we see how the structure of this building supports that of the church. Another archway on twisted columns offers us a splendid view of Graus and the confluence of the Ésera and Isábena rivers. As we leave, going down the ramp, we will see the other corner of the church and once again we understand the interior chamfering of the nave, since another exterior buttress would have prevented the access path to the complex.

From the outside, differences are observed in the two sections of the church:

The first phase of the works articulates its panels with moldings and buttresses

the second, a work by Tellet, which presents smooth panels and corners.

In the hospital as a whole there are also two phases:

a modest four-story building (leaning on the church and on the entrance to the complex) was surely the first to be built and was to serve as the residence of the clergy.

a much more ambitious extension, with three floors: the first, with the archway of semicircular arches that shelters the access ramp; the second, with the viewpoint of twisted columns; and the last one, made of brick and completely rebuilt, where there were rooms used as a pilgrim hospital and where a museum of icons is currently located.

Antiguo Casino, Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha, España.

En 1923 se levanta el Antiguo Casino de Toledo, en la plaza de la Magdalena, al lado de Zocodover, cuyo proyecto se encarga al arquitecto Felipe Trigo y la dirección de obra a Ezequiel Martín.

El edificio es de estilo eclécticista de planta cuadrada; cuenta con cuatro alturas y un torreón formando un chaflán, uniendo las dos fachadas del edificio. Se asienta sobre un zócalo de piedra y se remata por una cornisa realizada en ladrillo y formada por una sucesión de arquillos ciegos.

La puerta principal está formada por un gran portalón con un arco de medio punto, abierto en el chafán de la fachada. Éste está formado a su vez por dovelas acodadas sobre las que se abre una ventana con reja. Una fina moldura de piedra descansa sobre ménsulas y recorre la parte exterior de esta puerta, abarcando también a la ventana situada encima.

En el resto de la fachada se conjugan elementos renacentistas con sus huecos regulares y mudéjares con la utilización del ladrillo; en ella se manejan caprichosamente los alfices que circunscriben y encierran paños de ladrillo sobre los arcos, haciendo convivir los amplios vanos de los salones de la planta baja con rejas españolas y balcones adintelados.

La torre, muy visible desde la plaza, imita formas mudéjares y no desentona de la que hay en la cercana iglesia de la Magdalena. Por los elementos decorativos que posee, el material con la que está construida y el momento en el que se realizó, la torre podría encuadrarse perfectamente dentro del neomudejarismo toledano. Estéticamente está divida en cuatro tramos y construida en ladrillo, excepto el primer tramo que se alterna con un cajeado de mampuesto. El segundo tramo lo constituye el campanario que, en cada una de sus cuatro pandas poseen un doble vano, con arcos de medio punto unidos por una columna. El tercer tramo lo forman una sucesión de arquillos ciegos de herradura y apuntados; finaliza la composición con una cornisa de ladrillo de formas anaceladas, cubriéndose a cuatro aguas. Destaca también una red de rombos -sebka- enmarcando, a modo de alfiz, en una ventana del cuarto piso del chaflán.

En el interior aparece un amplio recibidor, con puerta al frente, de acceso al piso inferior mediante escalones descendientes y, a ambos lados, doble escalinata que conduce al piso alto.

In 1923, the Old Casino of Toledo was built in the Plaza de la Magdalena, next to Zocodover Square. The project was entrusted to the architect Felipe Trigo, and the construction was overseen by Ezequiel Martín.

The building is eclectic in style, with a square floor plan. It has four stories and a turret forming a chamfer, joining the two facades of the building. It rests on a stone plinth and is topped by a brick cornice composed of a series of blind arches.

The main entrance is a large doorway with a semicircular arch, set into the chamfer of the facade. This arch is formed by angled voussoirs above which is a window with a grille. A fine stone molding rests on corbels and runs along the exterior of this doorway, also encompassing the window above it.

The rest of the façade combines Renaissance elements with its regular openings and Mudéjar elements with the use of brick. The alfiz moldings, which frame and enclose brickwork above the arches, are whimsically arranged, creating a harmonious blend of the wide openings of the ground-floor rooms with Spanish-style ironwork and lintelled balconies.

The tower, highly visible from the plaza, imitates Mudéjar forms and is in keeping with the one at the nearby Church of La Magdalena. Due to its decorative elements, the materials used in its construction, and the period in which it was built, the tower could be perfectly classified within the Toledo Neo-Mudéjar style. Aesthetically, it is divided into four sections and built of brick, except for the first section, which alternates with a masonry paneling. The second section comprises the bell tower, each of whose four sides features a double opening with semicircular arches joined by a column. The third section consists of a series of blind horseshoe and pointed arches; the composition is completed with a brick cornice of corbel-like forms, covered by a hipped roof. A network of rhombuses—a sebka—frames a window on the fourth floor of the chamfered corner, acting as an alfiz.

Inside, there is a spacious entrance hall with a door at the front, providing access to the lower floor via descending steps, and on either side, a double staircase leading to the upper floor.

On the pathway of pilgrims

Standing peacefully under the Downs, on the pilgrims' route to Canterbury, is this stocky flint-and-ragstone church with its stocky west tower. It was deserted when the village moved to higher ground. St Mary's is curious architecturally: north and south aisles were added to the original twelfth-century structure and later pulled down, leaving clear evidence of its history. The rustic, partially plastered interior is lovely and there are two ancient Norman fonts.

St Leonard's Farlington by manual_exp

St Leonard's Church is an Anglican church in Farlington, North Yorkshire, a village in England.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The church was built about 1200, from which period survive most of the walls, the north and south doors, and the east windows. Buttresses were added to the south wall later in the 13th century. Two windows were added to the south wall of the chancel in the 15th century, and one in the south wall of the nave is probably 16th century. The church was heavily restored by Ewan Christian in 1886, with windows added or restored, the west end and its bellcote rebuilt, and a vestry and north porch added. The church was grade II listed in 1960.

The church is built of stone with a Welsh slate roof, and consists of a nave and a chancel in one unit, and a north porch. On the west gable is a bellcote with two arched openings and a cross finial. The south doorway has a round arch and a chamfered quoined surround, and the porch contains a doorway with a moulded surround. Inside, there is a 19th-century crown post roof, an aumbry in the sanctuary, and a 13th-century font with an octagonal bowl and circular stem. The oak communion table is 17th century, and there is an old oak parish chest.

Corner building are some of the most interesting structures. The chamfered entrance bay draws the eye and creates a local landmark. The large windows on the second and third floors would make a great view for a restaurant. Boths sides of the building lead down city streets with colorful facades creating a nostalgic setting for late 19th century architecture.

Twizal Castle DSC_5692 by Dave A Towson

46 9

A medieval tower house which once stood on the site was, in 1415, held by Sir John Heron. This was destroyed by a Scottish army in 1496 commanded by James IV of Scotland and Perkin Warbeck. James IV returned on 24 August 1513 on his way to besiege Norham Castle, and held a council or parliament at "Twesil" or "Twesilhaugh."

The estate was sold by the Herons circa 1520 to a member of the Selby family. A survey in 1561 reported only the remnants of a tower house and a barmkin. John Selby seems to have repaired the buildings, and an inventory was made of the furnishings on his death in 1595 mentioning a new chamber, a gallery, and chambers in the tower. Of the medieval structure, blocked windows, a chamfered doorway and the original north-east angle quoins are all that remains visible now.

In 1685 Sir Francis Blake (d. 1718) purchased the estate from the widow Selby for £1,944, plus an annuity of £100, and the Blake family lived on the estate until 1738 when they moved to nearby Tillmouth Hall.

From about 1770, Sir Francis Blake (d. 1780) worked on the recreation of the castle as a Gothic Revival mansion, designed by architect James Nesbit of Kelso to be five levels tall. Despite some forty years of work, the project was never completed. When in 1882, the Blakes built a new mansion at Tillmouth Park much of the incomplete Twizell Castle was demolished and the stone used in the new construction. The house is now a two-story folly. Rectangular in plan, with circular towers on the angles and two wings on the north side, the basement rooms in the main block are stone and brick-vaulted as a precaution against fire.

DROMORE VIADUCT CO DOWN WALK ABOUT by Monkiiiey Henry Clark

97 7

DROMORE CO DOWN WALK ABOUT ...The viaduct crosses the River Lagan. It is roughly 101m long and 6m wide, having been built to carry only a single track. The viaduct consists of seven arches, 10m apart, with the piers being 1.5m wide. The piers and abutments are made of ashlar blackstone, whilst the parapets, which stand a metre above arch level, are coped with chamfered sandstone.[1] The viaduct stands at 23 metres tall.

It was designed by Thomas Jackson of Messrs Greene & King, who built the line from Knockmore to Banbridge. Jackson was also responsible for designing Hillsborough and Dromore railway stations.[2]

Plaça Urquinaona, Barcelona by Harald Felgner

68

The Plaça d'Urquinaona is one of the principal squares in central Barcelona. It is officially part of Dreta de l'Eixample neighbourhood. The Eixample is characterized by long straight streets, a strict grid pattern crossed by wide avenues, and square blocks with chamfered corners. This was a visionary, pioneering design by Ildefons Cerdà, who considered traffic and transport along with sunlight and ventilation in coming up with his characteristic octagonal blocks, where the streets broaden at every intersection making for greater visibility, better ventilation and (today) some short-term parking areas.

Moorish architecture is characterized by the many and refined details and arches. by fnks

45 3

Some arches are typical of the architecture of the Nasrid period. This also applies to the columns. The Alcazaba of Malaga has its own kind of column that does not appear in any other construction.

The column is divided into two parts; the first part is a thin cylindrical shaft with a simple decoration that supports a prism with chamfered corners at the base.

Plaça Urquinaona, Barcelona by Harald Felgner

43

The Plaça d'Urquinaona is one of the principal squares in central Barcelona. It is officially part of Dreta de l'Eixample neighbourhood. The Eixample is characterized by long straight streets, a strict grid pattern crossed by wide avenues, and square blocks with chamfered corners. This was a visionary, pioneering design by Ildefons Cerdà, who considered traffic and transport along with sunlight and ventilation in coming up with his characteristic octagonal blocks, where the streets broaden at every intersection making for greater visibility, better ventilation and (today) some short-term parking areas.

Real Colegio de Doncellas Nobles, Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha, España.

El Colegio de Doncellas Nobles es un edificio de la ciudad española de Toledo, ocupado antiguamente por la institución homónima. Cuenta con el estatus de bien de interés cultural.

Actualmente el edificio está abierto parcialmente a la visita turística gestionada por la Archidiócesis de Toledo.

Se trata de un edificio de planta cuadrada con esquinas en chaflán, jardín trasero y patio interior. En alguno de sus puntos tiene cuatro plantas.

Todo el edificio descansa sobre un basamento de piedra granítica que sirve de base a los lienzos de ladrillo. Los vanos exteriores guardan una composición simétrica y se repiten con cierta equidistancia y ritmo. Son adintelados y están protegidos con rejas. Entre ellos destacan las múltiples combinaciones geométricas de los ladrillos, que se convierten en la base de la decoración. Se introducen líneas horizontales compuestas por azulejos de cerámica decorada.

El edificio tiene en sus tratamientos un carácter historicista neomudéjar. Constructivamente está realizado con estructura metálica, que se hace patente en elementos singulares, como el pasaje elevado que comunica el edificio primitivo con esta ampliación, donde se evidencia la estructura roblonada. Estas soluciones se destacan también en las galerías cubiertas del patio interior.

La fachada principal, orientada a mediodía, tiene dos portadas, una de entrada al colegio y la otra que da paso a la iglesia. La primera es de orden dórico, en sillería, con escudo real, y otro con las armas del fundador. La segunda posee dos cuerpos: El inferior, con un vano de medio punto enmarcado por cuatro pilastras en orden dórico, y sobre el que se ve un escudo con armas del Cardenal Silíceo. Ambas portadas son barrocas clasicistas.

En el lugar del antiguo salón principal, actualmente se encuentra la iglesia-capilla del colegio. Consta de una nave cubierta con bóveda de cañón con lunetos, crucero sobre pechinas y testero plano. Tiene un retablo principal con lienzo de la Virgen de los Remedios, titular del colegio. A los lados de la nave retablos barrocos, con la Virgen del Pozo y San Jerónimo. Al pie de la iglesia se encuentra el coro de capellanes y en el piso superior, guardado con reja, el coro de colegialas, con bóveda de aristas. Alberga una serie de pinturas de José Muriel Alcalá. En el centro de la capilla se encuentra el sepulcro del cardenal Silíceo realizado por Ricardo Bellver en 1890.

The College of Noble Maidens is a building in the Spanish city of Toledo, formerly occupied by the institution of the same name. It has the status of a Site of Cultural Interest.

The building is currently partially open to tourist visits, managed by the Archdiocese of Toledo.

It is a square building with chamfered corners, a rear garden, and an interior courtyard. It has four floors at some points.

The entire building rests on a granite stone plinth that serves as the base for the brick walls. The exterior openings maintain a symmetrical composition and are repeated with a certain equidistance and rhythm. They are lintelled and protected by grilles. Among them, the multiple geometric combinations of bricks stand out, becoming the basis of the decoration. Horizontal lines composed of decorated ceramic tiles are introduced.

The building has a Neo-Mudejar historicist character in its treatments. Constructively, it is built with a metal structure, which is evident in unique elements, such as the elevated walkway that connects the original building with this extension, where the riveted structure is evident. These solutions are also highlighted in the covered galleries of the interior courtyard.

The main façade, facing south, has two doorways, one leading to the college and the other to the church. The first is Doric, ashlar, with a royal coat of arms, and the other with the founder's coat of arms. The second has two sections: the lower one has a semicircular opening framed by four pilasters in the Doric order, and above which can be seen a coat of arms of Cardinal Silíceo. Both doorways are Classical Baroque.

The college church-chapel currently stands on the site of the former main hall. It consists of a nave covered with a barrel vault with lunettes, a transept on pendentives, and a flat end wall. It has a main altarpiece with a painting of the Virgin of Los Remedios, patron saint of the college. On the sides of the nave are Baroque altarpieces, featuring the Virgin of the Well and Saint Jerome. At the foot of the church is the chaplains' choir, and on the upper floor, protected by a grille, is the schoolgirls' choir, with a groin vault. It houses a series of paintings by José Muriel Alcalá. In the center of the chapel is the tomb of Cardinal Silíceo, made by Ricardo Bellver in 1890.

The Belen Hotel, at 200 Becker Ave. in Belen, New Mexico, United States, was built in 1907. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

It is a two-story red brick flat-roofed L-shaped building with a chamfered corner. The hotel primarily served Santa Fe Railroad personnel. It was built for Mrs. Bertha Rutz, a German immigrant, who ran the hotel and its cafe until her death in 1953.

Since 1996 it has been the home of artist Judy Chicago and her husband Donald Woodman, who spent three years converting it into a home.

I have photographed this hotel before but today the sky was so perfect and there was no one around to clutter the photo.

he tower and chancel are C13. The arcades and clerestory were replaced in the C14, but the aisles were rebuilt in the C15 or C16. In the late C16 north chapel are the Gage monuments.

The village lies under the Downs near Firle Place. Confusingly there is no East Firle and the village is often referred to as simply ‘Firle’. A reset round-headed and double-chamfered doorway in the north aisle shows there was a church by the late C12. The nave had reached its present length by soon after at the latest, for both tower and chancel are C13.

Mémorial John Playfair - John Playfair Monument – Calton Hill - Édimbourg – Écosse by cool DARYSHOOT

37

Le Mémorial John Playfair a été commandé par un comité d’abonnés et le conseil municipal. John Playfair est enterré juste en face de Calton Hill, dans Old Calton Burial Ground. John Playfair est connu comme le disciple le plus influent de James Hutton. Ses Illustrations de la théorie huttonienne de la Terre (1802) ont probablement fait plus pour populariser sa théorie que les propres écrits notoirement impénétrables de Hutton. Au cours de sa carrière, il a été successivement professeur de mathématiques et professeur de philosophie naturelle à l’Université d’Édimbourg. En tant que premier président de l’Edinburgh Astronomical Institution, il a soutenu avec enthousiasme la construction de l’observatoire d’Édimbourg sur Calton Hill, à côté duquel se trouve son monument, mais est malheureusement mort avant son achèvement.

Formant un coin de l’enceinte entourant le Nouvel Observatoire, ce mélange savant du tombeau de Theron à Agrigente et du tombeau du lion à Cnidos a été conçu par William Henry Playfair en mémoire de son oncle, John Playfair (1748-1819). Mémorial dorique grec de plan carré. Pierre de taille polie. Socle de base en saillie supportant le podium avec le parcours de base en saillie chanfreiné à la section supérieure; corniche moulée; colonnade aveugle tétrastyle de colonnes doriques grecques cannelées engagées; entablement avec métopes ornés de couronnes de laurier, toit pyramidal en pierre - H 450 x L 200 x P 200 cm - L’inscription en grands caractères romains sur le podium du monument « Yoanni Playfair Amicorum Pietas Desideriis Icta Fidelibus Quo Ipse Loco Templum Uranaie Suae Olim Dicaverat Hoc Monumentum Posuit MDCCCXXVI Nat VI IDUS MART MDCCXLVIII OBIT XIV KAL SEXTIL MDCCCXIX » peut se traduire par « À John Playfair - La piété de ses amis - Stimulé par des désirs constants - à l’endroit où il se trouve lui-même - avait déjà dédié un temple à son Urania (muse des astronomes) - Placé ce monument 1826 - Né le 10 mars 1748 Décédé le 19 juillet 1819 ».

The John Playfair Memorial was commissioned by a committee of subscribers and the city council. John Playfair is buried just opposite Calton Hill in the Old Calton Burial Ground. John Playfair is known as James Hutton's most influential disciple. His Illustrations of Hutton's Theory of the Earth (1802) probably did more to popularize his theory than Hutton's own notoriously inscrutable writings. During his career, he was successively Professor of Mathematics and Professor of Natural Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh. As the first President of the Edinburgh Astronomical Institution, he enthusiastically supported the construction of the Edinburgh Observatory on Calton Hill, next to which his monument stands, but sadly died before its completion.

Forming a corner of the enclosure surrounding the New Observatory, this clever mix of Theron's Tomb at Agrigento and the Lion's Tomb at Cnidos was designed by William Henry Playfair in memory of his uncle, John Playfair (1748-1819). Square plan Greek Doric memorial. Polished cut stone. Projecting base plinth supporting the podium with the projecting base course chamfered at the top section; molded cornice; tetrastyle blind colonnade of engaged fluted Greek Doric columns; entablature with metopes adorned with laurel wreaths, pyramidal stone roof - H 450 x W 200 x D 200 cm - The inscription in large Roman characters on the podium of the monument "Yoanni Playfair Amicorum Pietas Desideriis Icta Fidelibus Quo Ipse Loco Templum Uranaie Suae Olim Dicaverat Hoc Monumentum Posuit MDCCCXXVI Nat VI IDUS MART MDCCXLVIII OBIT XIV KAL SEXTIL MDCCCXIX" can be translated as "To John Playfair - The piety of his friends - Stimulated by constant desires - to the place where he himself is - had already dedicated a temple to his Urania (muse of astronomers) - Placed this monument 1826 - Born March 10, 1748 Died July 19, 1819”.

The First Baptist Church. Sedgwick, Maine.

The church had been under scaffolding for the past two years, and is still undergoing extensive renovation.

Built in 1837 under the supervision of architect Benjamin Deane of Bangor, Maine, it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The dwindling congregation was disbanded in 2010 and the church was deeded to the Sedgwick-Brooklin Historical Society.

From an article in the Ellsworth American in April 2024 -

"Chris Baker, chairperson of the Church Restoration Project, said, 'The front of the building, which is proportioned beautifully, is a complex arrangement of forms. But the genius of Benjamin Deane is how he worked out the progression of the forms from the bottom to the top. The four fluted columns capture the eye. The shallow pitched gable above the columns is straight from the Parthenon. The steeple is unique. Greek Revival architecture allowed for a great deal of variation on the popular themes: columns, domes, chamfered corner pediments and arches. In this case, Deane came up with something new. And he succeeded brilliantly.' "

Gumbo's on the Square (Old Masonic Lodge bldg) - Georgetown, Texas by J.L. Ramsaur Photography

35 7

The Williamson County Courthouse Historic District in Georgetown, Texas is an unspoiled, coherent and intact area composed primarily of two-story limestone structures of Victorian commercial design.

These encircle the Courthouse which is located in the center of the District. The structures surrounding the courthouse typically form a block of contiguous commercial buildings on each side of the square like the east side starting with this corner where the Masonic Lodge has been housed on the Square since it was organized in 1851. The Masonic Building, built circa 1900, is one of the most attractive buildings on the square with its two-story, rectangular limestone and narrow main facade (seen here facing west); a chamfered corner displaying an oriel and a side containing alternate entrances. Today, the building houses Gumbo's on the Square, "an upscale but casual dining experience showcasing some of the greatest flavors to come out of any French-inspired Cajun kitchen."

The Williamson County Courthouse Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 26, 1977 and had a boundary increase added on April 29, 1986. More information about the district can be found on the original documents submitted to the NRHP for listing consideration located here:

St David's Church, Henllan by Dai Parker

154 13

St David's Church is situated within a curvilinear churchyard used as a cemetary, its west and south sides are mirrored by the curve of the River Teifi, some 20m-30m distant. A defended enclosure, Caerau, is located some 320m east of the church. During the post-conquest period the church was not a parish church, but a chapelry, beonging to the Deanery of Sub-Aeron. By 1833 the church was a parish church.

The church was rebuilt just before 1810 and again c.1849.

The present church is constructed of slate rubble and consists of four-bay nave, two-bay chancel, south porch, vestry (north of chancel) and tin sheds (either side of vestry). The form of the pre-nineteenth century church is not known. The square font bowl with plain mouldings dated from the earlier thirteenth century and is mounted on a nineteenth century base. It was rebuilt in the earlier nineteenth century on the same site and in the same location as its predecessor. When rebuilt the church comprised only the current nave. The porch was added after 1844. By 1881 the church comprised four-bay nave, porch and west bellcote; the plain nave roof with arch-braced trusses. In 1881 the church was partially rebuilt, to the designs of Middleton and Sons of Westminster and Cheltenham. The east wall was taken down at this time and the chancel added in its place. The vestry was also added. The former north door was replaced with a window and the south wall windows and doors were partially rebuilt. The church was also refloored, reseated, replastered and reroofed. The tin sheds were added in the mid-twentieth century.

Fittings include a small twelfth-century font with square bowl, chamfered below, with lobed corners. Stained glass includes work by Celtic Studios (1967).

The church is now redundant.
