QUEENBOROUGH

933/1/10016 HIGH STREET 19-OCT-51 (North side) PARISH CHURCH OF THE HOLY TRINITY

GV II* Church. Late C14 core, associated with Edward III's foundation of the town. Tower is very difficult to date and considered by some to be C12 although a C14 date is also possible. Extensive internal C17 fittings. All windows renewed in 1885 which may be the date of a major restoration. MATERIALS: Random rubble with a red tiled roof. PLAN: W tower, nave and chancel in one; SW porch. Corrugated iron building with Gothic windows attached to N side.

EXTERIOR: N and S sides have buttresses, C17 or early C19 in origin, with deep set-offs, angle buttresses to the chancel and two 2-light windows, each light round-headed . 3-light C19 Perpendicular style traceried E window. Each side has a single roof dormer with a hipped roof, tile-hung cheeks and pair of 2-light timber windows with segmental arched heads under a timber hoodmould. The SW porch has a chamfered outer doorway, segmental-headed inner doorway and C19 or C20 boarded roof. Short W tower, difficult to date, with diagonal buttresses, an embattled parapet and large projecting SE stair turret with embattled parapet rising above the top of the tower. The tower also has large W buttresses at right angles to the W face, these are dated 1636 by Pevsner. Victorian Perpendicular style W doorway with carved spandrels, 3-light c. 1900 window above.

INTERIOR: The interior has a canted boarded roof with late C17 painted decoration, now faded and obscured by damage from a 1930s fire in the tower. White clouds and gold stars decorate the portion over the nave. At the E end the centrepiece represents the Angel of the Apocalypse sounding the last trump in a painted egg and dart medallion with cherubim painted in smaller medallions. The painting is thought to be Dutch. There may be an earlier roof structure behind the boards. Hollow-chamfered tower arch. 1610 font with an octagonal bowl on a thick and elaborately moulded baluster-like stem. The bowl is inscribed with the name of Nicholas Taylor 'Jurat of this towne' and a bold representation of the postern gate of Queenborough Castle (demolished c.1650) shown with two cannon. Jacobean domed font cover. C19 timber drum pulpit with panelled sides pierced with stylised flower motifs. Nave benches with very simple, thick shaped ends. Chunky choir stalls with reeded backs to the seats include the mayor's seat, dated 1885. The organ chamber is in a gallery projecting over the S door and forming an internal porch. 1939 gilded sanctuary rails, the remains of a former wrought iron chancel screen. No reredos, partly because changes to the ground level of the churchyard mean that the E window sill is very low. Paintings of Moses and Aaron, dating to c.1700, hang in the nave but presumably originating in the sanctuary. 2 brass candelabra presented in 1718 and 1724.

The late C17 and early C18 fittings correspond to a period of prosperity and much rebuilding in Queenborough, which preserves small but smart houses of this period in the High Street.

SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE: The Church of the Holy Trinity is of immense interest as a parish church of C14 origins with much C17 work and with an outstanding survival of a late C17 painted ceiling and early C17 font with unusual relief carvings. The late C19 reordering of the church, with new windows and internal fittings was sensitively done and complements the earlier fabric. It stands in a churchyard with a wealth of good monuments. The church is a key element, historically and architecturally, in the main street of small town rich in historic buildings.

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.

Castle gateway ruin, outbuilding and house. Early C14 and 1925-26. House related to ruins by Walter Godfrey in free Cotswold vernacular style. GATEWAY: random rubble stone. Two broad semicircular bastions with a triple-chamfered depressed arch between with beginnings of opening area. Loop-holes on ground floor with widish square windows above. Portcullis groove and beginnings of rib-vault oriel cut in archway. Internally, evidence of upper floors, and vaulted cupboard in addition to west bastion. Low wall, probably reconstructed in right-angle to west and south, connecting with 2-storey random rubble gabled outbuilding, probably also C14 with arched doorway in north gable end and two- light window arch. HOUSE: Attached to east bastion and stretching to south East front: Random rubble with stone tiled roof, and hipped gable to left arch shallow projection. Ridge stack to left and stack to right behind ridge, both very tall. 2 storeys; 3 bays, irregular with shallow, parapeted, canted bays at each end.

————————————————————

Before 1066 Herst (meaning forest or wood) was the name of a prominent local Anglo-Saxon family and ownership of the family's estate passed into the hands of the victorious Normans. In 1131 the manor and estates were transferred to Drogo de Monceux, a great grandson of William the Conqueror . Drogo's son Ingleram married Idonea de Herst, thus founding the Herstmonceux line.

SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE: The Church of the Holy Trinity is of immense interest as a parish church of C14 origins with much C17 work and with an outstanding survival of a late C17 painted ceiling and early C17 font with unusual relief carvings. The late C19 reordering of the church, with new windows and internal fittings was sensitively done and complements the earlier fabric. It stands in a churchyard with a wealth of good monuments. The church is a key element, historically and architecturally, in the main street of small town rich in historic buildings.

Tower, part of the remains of Hadlow Castle, a large Gothick house of late C18 origins. Tower begun 1838 (lantern added in 1840) for Walter Barton May to the designs of George Ledwell Taylor (Thirsk); modelled in part on William Beckford's 1812 tower (collapsed 1825) at Fonthill, Wiltshire, designed by James Wyatt. Rendered brick to imitate stone with the finer architectural detail and decoration built up in the Roman cement render. Gothick.

Plan: The tower was added at the south east corner of the original house (built by May's-father) with the stable courtyard to its north east. The main house was dismantled in 1951: what is left today is the stable courtyard, converted to housing, with the tower in the south east corner linked to the courtyard buildings by a freestanding wall, formerly the west wall of the house. Tower octagonal on plan with a circular stair turrett adjoining at the south west and a doorway on the north face. A lower, rectangular tower adjoins at the west. The original function of the main tower, beyond advertising the wealth and architectural ambition of the family, is obscure. The interior is relatively plain, especially when comapred with the lavish Interior of the house. It does not appear to have been heated originally and the smaller tower, between it and the house, was used as accommodation for men servants prior to 1951 (Thirsk).

Exterior: An extraordinary landmark, especially in the flat Hadlow landscape. 170 feet high, plus the lantern and covered with quite delicate Gothick detail in Roman cement, becoming progressively more elaborate on the upper stages. Slender 3-tier gabled projections to each of the cardinal faces with diagonal buttresses, steep gables and tall crocketted pinnacles. The 3-stage stair turret has a pierced parapet and lancet window. The stages of the tower are marked by string courses of various designs, some enriched with fleurons. The faces of the tower are divided by buttresses which rise above the pierced parapet as tall pinnacles with gabled crocketted pinnacles. Tall, buttressed, pinnacled lantern largely obscured by scaffolding at time of survey (1988). Various tall, Gothick windows, matching on each stage. The lower stage windows are 2-light and transomed with flamboyant tracery and moulded architraves with engaged shafts with capitals; incised crosses above the windows and, above them, a string course with a tier of engaged battlementing. The second stage also has 2-light transomed windows with quatrefoil windows above. Similar, narrower windows to the third stage with pairs of lancets above. The fourth stage has smaller transomed windows, each wall face covered in blind arcading in 2 tiers. The fifth stage also has 2 tiers of decoration, the lower tier trefoil-headed arcading, some blind, some glazed, the upper tier decorated with blind tracery and incorporating corbelled projections. Some of the Roman cement detail has fallen away. The gabled projections each have 2 tiers of tall lancet windows with moulded architraves, the embrasures filled with cusped lattice with traceried windows just below the gables. The north projection has a very tall, chamfered 2-centred doorway. The adjoining 4-storey servants' tower is embattled with a rounded projecting stair turret at the north west and various Gothick windows: lancets, 2-centred with cusped Y tracery and timber flamboyant traceried windows in square-headed embrasures.

Interior: Plain by comparison with the exterior but preserving some original doors with applied Gothick panelling. A remarkable example of ambitious Gothick design and an outstanding landscape feature.

The May family was essentially local and sum of the wealth used on the tower may have derived from hop-growing (Thirsk).

Excerpt from heritageburlington.ca:

The subject property is located within the Alton community of Burlington on the north side of Thomas Alton Boulevard, east of Walker's Line. The Thomas Alton farmhouse is a one and a half storey, end gabled structure, clad in red Flemish bond brick.

The subject property is known as the Thomas Alton Farmhouse, built circa 1860. The cultural heritage value of the subject property lies in its historical and architectural value.

The farmhouse derives its historical value through its association with the 19th century agricultural development and settlement of Nelson Township and through its association with several prominent settler families, including the Altons, Cleavers and Atkinsons. In particular, the family of Joseph and Hannah Alton who lived on the homestead continuously from the mid 1850s, and their descendants who occupied the house into the 20th century.

The Thomas Alton Farmhouse is an excellent example of a 1.5 storey, 3-bay Ontario vernacular farmhouse with both Regency and Gothic elements (modified L-plan). The red Flemish bond brick building, with brick voussoirs and stone sills, has a low-pitched roof with a centre gable and slightly projecting eaves. An elliptical cathedral window is set within the centre gable. Wood brackets, with drop pendants supported by a boxed cornice. The full front verandah has a bell-cast roof supported by chamfered columns decorated with Regency-style trellis work. Two brick chimney stacks rise above the end gables; a third chimney rises above the kitchen tail.

The main central entrance has a flat transom with moulded wood trim. First storey windows are double hung in a 6 over 6 configuration, some original shutters remain. The kitchen tail (original to the house) has a bell tower and original 6 over 6 double hung window. There is a root cellar on the west elevation.

The interior of the house has undergone few structural changes with the exception of a foyer/bathroom conversion on the main level. The house features original wood trim, front and rear fireplaces, original doors and hardware.

Important to the preservation of 4083 Thomas Alton Boulevard (Formerly 4059 Dundas Street) are the following character-defining elements/heritage attributes:

-Red Flemish bond brick and brick voussoirs;

-Eliptical cathedral window located within the central gable;

-Wood brackets, with drop pendants, supporting the boxed cornice;

-Front verandah with bell-cast roof, supported by chamfered columns, embellished with Regency-style trellis work;

-Overall form of the building (3-bay, modified L-plan);

-Bell tower of the kitchen tail;

-All wood sash windows, and wood storm windows with their associate wood frames, sashes, muntins, stone sills and glazing;

-All wood shutters;

-All wood doors and original hardware;

-Flat transom above the central entrance with moulded wood trim; and

-All original interior trim, front and rear fireplaces, original doors and hardware

Waymouth Street, Adelaide City Centre

Originally licensed as the Crown and Anchor Hotel on a site further along Elizabeth Street, the current Cumberland Arms Hotel building dates from 1883 and was designed by H C Richardson for Sir E T Smith, brewer and philanthropist. It is a typical corner hotel with chamfered corner and verandah/balcony, but features some ebullient detailing which makes it out of the ordinary. It also serves as a reminder of the once dense residential development in the west end of Adelaide. The interior is significant for its fine entrance hall and staircase and for its upstairs rooms being largely intact.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before 1066 Herst (meaning forest or wood) was the name of a prominent local Anglo-Saxon family and ownership of the family's estate passed into the hands of the victorious Normans. In 1131 the manor and estates were transferred to Drogo de Monceux, a great grandson of William the Conqueror . Drogo's son Ingleram married Idonea de Herst, thus founding the Herstmonceux line.

Fortified tower. Mid C14 with additions, removed c.1725. Built for Sir Gilbert de Umfraville. Coursed limestone ashlar. 4-storey, square tower 77 ft high, with square projecting stair tower at the south-east corner which rises slightly higher than the main tower. Deeply chamfered plinth and 2 chamfered upper floor bands, topped with chamfered battlements. The south, entrance front, bears scars on the ground and first floors of the later attached house which has since been removed. The ground floor entrance doorway has a chamfered triangular headed, flush ashlar surround. Immediately above it is a similar doorway into the first floor level. To the left and at a higher level is a 2-light, reticulated tracery window in a chamfered, pointed surround. Above, centrally placed on the second and third floors are single similar windows with hoodmoulds. The west, north and east fronts are identical, though the west front bears scars of later additions since removed. Each front has on the ground floor a single light flat headed lancet, and on each of the 3 upper floors a centrally placed 2-light reticulated tracery window in a pointed chamfered surround with hoodmoulds. The stair tower has a slightly projecting chamfered face where it joins the tower's east face, which has 5 single-light flat headed lancets, and on the south and east faces it has 3 single-light flat headed lancets. Interior: the ground floor room has an octagonal ribbed vault with a large central boss bearing the arms of Sir Gilbert de Umfraville. The floor of the first floor room is reputedly patterned, hence its name 'the Chequered Chamber' thought this is not at present visible. No floors, ceilings or roofs survive higher up, though evidence for them does survive. The circular stone spiral staircase survives intact, with at the top a central newel post which rises as a colonnette to support the panelled vault above. The lower contains no fireplaces or guard robes, and it was presumably intended purely for defence, it stands within a large moated site. The attached house was demolished between 1720 and 1725, when chimney-pieces were bought by Mr Chaplin for Blankney Hall. This tower is the earliest of a series of fortified towers built in this part of Lincolnshire,

Looking from the road towards Shady Coombe Cottages, Hoo Meavy, a row of Grade II listed traditional Dartmoor cottages built of granite rubble with slate roofs. White casement windows line the façades, fronted by ferns, hedges, and a fingerpost sign with a red letterbox. Nestled against rising woodland, their stone walls glow against autumn leaves, the signpost pointing to Plymouth, Meavy, and Cadover Bridge, while the letterbox hints that the cottages remain lived-in.

Two of the cottages date from the late 16th century, with 19th- and 20th-century extensions. Originally comprising two left-hand rooms, one with a newel stair and granite arched doorway, they were later expanded with a right-hand extension and rear wing. The two-storey, asymmetrical seven-window front combines original chamfered granite frames, altered mullions, and later casements. Doorways include inserted 19th-century examples and two adjoining granite four-centred arches, one now blocked. Interior features include chamfered beams, an open fireplace with granite lintel replacement, a stone newel stair, and later roof trusses.

Edificio en chaflán, de estilo ecléctico tardío, fue construido entre 1928 y 1930 por los arquitectos Francisco Javier Goerlich Lleó y Cayetano Borso di Carminati González.

El edificio es conocido como "Edificio Adriática de Seguros", por haberse encontrado aquí la sede social de esta entidad aseguradora. En su momento el cartel anunciador de esta compañía de seguros figuraba en el paramento liso de la pseudo-torre que lo corona. Fue su promotor el conde de Torrefiel por lo que el edificio también fue conocido como "Edificio Torrefiel".

A chamfered building, in a late eclectic style, it was built between 1928 and 1930 by the architects Francisco Javier Goerlich Lleó and Cayetano Borso di Carminati González.

The building is known as the "Adriatica Insurance Building", because the headquarters of this insurance company were located here. At the time, the poster advertising this insurance company appeared on the smooth face of the pseudo-tower that crowns it. Its promoter was the Count of Torrefiel, which is why the building was also known as "Edificio Torrefiel".

Monestir de Sant Pere de Besalú, Girona.

Besalú es un municipio de la comarca de La Garrotxa, en la provincia de Gerona, Comunidad Autónoma de Cataluña, España. La población es un centro turístico gracias a su arquitectura medieval.

Del antiguo monasterio, resta sólo la iglesia, de planta basilical, con tres naves separadas por pilares cuadrangulares, crucero y un gran ábside central. La nave central, más elevada, está cubierta con bóveda de cañón, y las laterales con bóveda de cuarto de círculo. Al grosor del muro de los brazos del crucero se abren sendas nichos o pequeñas absidioles que no sobresalen al exterior. Tres absidioles más abren al muro del ábside central. El elemento más destacable de este conjunto es, sin embargo, la girola o deambulatorio, que se inscribe en el interior del ábside, y que es formada por cuatro parejas de columnas con capiteles esculpidos con decoraciones vegetales o figuraciones humanas ( como Daniel con los leones) que denotan la influencia del norte de Italia. Este sector es cubierto con bóveda semicircular de cuarto de círculo. En uno de los capiteles está la representación de Herodes aconsejado por el diablo y en otro la matanza de los Santos Inocentes.

La fachada, que denota también una influencia del norte de Italia, es centrada por un portal sencillo encima del cual se abre un ventanal con tres arcos de medio punto en degradación y dos columnas por lado. A ambos lados sendos leones en alto relieve, de influencia rosellonesa, flanquean la ventana. La fachada se corona con frontón triangular. El campanario se levanta sobre el brazo norte del crucero. Su cuerpo superior, con los ángulos achaflanados, grandes ventanales de arcos de medio punto y azotea con balaustrada, está fechado en 1649. Del antiguo claustro, gótico, no queda prácticamente nada, salvo algunas lápidas y claves de vuelta dispersas.

Besalú is a municipality of the region of La Garrotxa, in the province of Gerona, Autonomous Community of Catalonia, Spain. The town is a tourist center thanks to its medieval architecture.

Of the old monastery, only the church remains, of basilical plant, with three naves separated by quadrangular pillars, cruiser and a great central apse. The central nave, higher, is covered with barrel vault, and the sides with quarter of a circle vault. To the thickness of the wall of the arms of the cruise open niches or small absidioles that do not protrude to the outside. Three more absidioles open to the wall of the central apse. The most remarkable element of this set is, however, the turn or ambulatory, which is inscribed inside the apse, and which is formed by four pairs of columns with capitals carved with plant decorations or human figures (such as Daniel with the lions ) That denote the influence of northern Italy. This sector is covered with semicircular vault of quarter of circle. In one of the capitals is the representation of Herodes advised by the devil and in another one the slaughter of the Holy Innocents.

The facade, which also denotes an influence of northern Italy, is centered by a simple portal above which opens a window with three arches of half point in degradation and two columns per side. On both sides, two lions in high relief, of Rosellonian influence, flank the window. The facade is crowned with a triangular pediment. The steeple rises above the north arm of the cruiser. Its upper body, with chamfered angles, large arched windows and roof with balustrade, is dated in 1649. Of the old Gothic cloister, there is practically nothing, except for some tombstones and scattered back keys.

I was lucky that Cara went to bed early and I got to sneak out to shoot this before the clouds took over. The moon was positioned very well for inclusion in most of my roster shots. From this angle you almost can't tell that the cab is chamfered instead of a fillet.

This church, which has Norman origins, was reconstructed at the end of the 14th century with the tower, nave and north arcade dating from that period. The south arcade dates from around 1500 with the porch possibly being rebuilt in the 17th century.

E H Sedding, who restored the church in 1904/5, found it "a fascinating storehouse of Christian art.... no other Cornish church contains more of its old woodwork." The church features original unceiled waggon roofs throughout with chamfered ribs in the north aisle. The elaborate bench ends date from around 1500.

This is one of Cornwall's (and England's) finest churches and lies above Pont Creek, which is off the estuary of the River Fowey between Bodinnick and Polruan. It is Grade I-listed and considered by Simon Jenkins to be one of England's Thousand Best Churches.

Small inserted window under eaves at right end. Interior: Divided into 3 sections corresponding with the changes in window. Narrow central area marked by original stone cross-walls with (probably much later) timber partitions above them between the tie-beams and the apex of the roof. South side of central area, not recessed for a floor and containing the mid-height pointed window, may be stair area. Side walls of east and west sections recessed for floor, that in east section lower than that in west. 3 chamfered posts on stone pads, braced to carry floor, 2 with cross-beams intact, remain in centre of ground floor in west section. Stone doors in north end of both cross-walls on ground and first floors, with chamfered jambs and broach stops, and jambs of another in south end of west wall on first floor.Plain ground floor fireplace in north wall of east section served by stack external on first-floor. Roof to east of opposed barn doors rebuilt, probably in the early C19. 5 regularly-spaced trusses including one with tie-beam embedded in east gable. Straight king posts carrying ridge-piece. Each has 2 evenly-spaced parallel tiers of straight braces to principal rafters. Tie- beams also braced to principal rafters, at steeper angle. Principal rafters carry 4 tiers of slightly staggered butt side purlins. Rest of roof has rafters of relatively uniform scantling, scissor-braced, with collars and ashlar pieces, forming 7 cants, 10 tie-beams, 2 of which are clearly replacements and the remainder possibly re-used; 6 morticed for cornice, wall (or pendant) posts, and braces, and 2 unmorticed over original stone cross walls. Progressive rebuilding has taken place:- the area between the cast cross wall and the king-post roof may be original, that between the cross walls is differently marked and may be slightly later. The area to the west of the west cross-wall was carefully rebuilt in 2 stages in the C18. The whole presents a remarkably uniform appearance.

The Butterfly Building is situated in the heart of downtown Vancouver, an iconic 600,000 sq. ft. mixed-use tower. The development combines The Butterfly—a new 57-storey luxury market tower-with the heritage upgrade, rehabilitation, and expansion of one of Vancouver's oldest churches, the historic First Baptist Church (FBC) built in 1911. The Butterfly Building was designed by Revery Architecture (formerly Bing Thom Architects).

Its unique form draws inspiration from two elements: organ pipes and the ephemeral nature of clouds. The tower’s sculpted façade is achieved through an innovative assembly of insulated pre-fabricated panels, high-performance glazing, and wide-spanning balconies.

These features provide exceptional thermal resistance, superior acoustical performance, and enhanced occupant comfort.

The dynamic chamfered forms at the tower’s base, inspired by First Baptist’s pipe organ, honor the historic building while maximizing the use of its landscaped ground plane. With emphasis on natural air, light, views, and materials, the project seeks to dissolve boundaries, stimulate the senses, and encourage mindfulness in a way that transforms its residents and strengthens human relations within its community. The Butterfly stands as a bold landmark in Vancouver, gracefully announcing the highpoint of the city’s downtown peninsula and welcoming residents to a harmonious blend of luxury, history, and community spirit.

St. Thomas City Hall National Historic Site of Canada:

Address: 545 Talbot Street, St. Thomas, Ontario

Recognition Statute: Historic Sites and Monuments Act (R.S.C., 1985, c. H-4)

Designation Date: 1984-11-23

Existing plaque: 545 Talbot Street, St. Thomas, Ontario

City halls illustrate the emergence of urban areas in a predominantly rural and agricultural l9th century Canada, and reflect the growth of municipal governments. Built 1898-1899, this city hall is an impressively sited, well-designed example of late Victorian civic building. Incorporated as a city in 1881, St. Thomas sponsored a design competition to choose an appropriate symbol of its future. Neil Darrach's winning proposal features massive blocks of rough-faced stone, elaborate exterior carving, a commanding tower and a richly detailed interior which is largely intact.

Description of Historic Place

St. Thomas City Hall is an elaborate, two-and-a-half storey, stone building with a commanding clock tower. It was built at the end of the 19th century in the Richardsonian Romanesque style. The hall is prominently located on the main street of downtown St. Thomas on a generous setback. The formal recognition consists of the building on its legal property.

Heritage Value

St. Thomas City Hall was designated a national historic site of Canada in 1984 because: it illustrates the emergence of urban areas in a predominantly rural and agricultural 19th-century Canada; it reflects the growth of municipal governments; and it is an impressively sited, well-designed example of a late Victorian civic building and one of the few relatively unaltered Richardsonian Romanesque Town Halls surviving in Canada.

St. Thomas City Hall is a representative example of the large, strictly administrative city halls which began to appear across Canada in the 1880s and 1890s. The construction of such a city hall reflected the tremendous growth of the city in the last quarter of the 19th century, a direct result of improved railway service. Designed primarily to house the city’s administrative services, this building’s monumental scale and prominent location reflected both the increased size of municipal government, and the community’s civic pride and ambition. The city’s expectation of continued progress was typical of communities whose prosperity was fuelled by railway facilities.

The exterior form and interior arrangement of St. Thomas City Hall are typical of large, administrative city halls built in medium-size cities during the late 19th century. By the end of the century, urban town halls had evolved from multipurpose buildings, to large-scale, single-function, purpose-built buildings which accommodated only the administrative and legislative functions of municipal government. The construction of large-scale, single-purpose buildings reflected both the growth of urban areas and the expansion of municipal responsibility for local services.

The Richardsonian Romanesque style was used extensively for public buildings in Canada during the late 1880s and 1890s. Designed by local architect Neil Darrach, the St. Thomas City Hall is a restrained representative of the style in its massive scale and quality, its rusticated stonework, prominent clock tower, steep pavilion roofs, and round-arched openings. The elaborate interior, with its vaulted, two-storey council chamber, was in keeping with the style of the exterior.

Character-Defining Elements

Key elements which relate to the heritage value of the St. Thomas City Hall include: its monumental scale; features typical of large, administrative city halls of the late 19th century, including its Richardsonian Romanesque style, prominent clock tower, division into quadrants, and elaborate interior detailing; features associated with its Richardsonian Romanesque style, including the use of heavy-cut sandstone for foundations and entrances, the projecting arched entrances, the arcaded round-arched windows, the steep rooflines, and elaborately carved stone detailing; the division of the building into quadrants, reflected on the exterior in the use of projecting hip-roofed corner pavilions and on the interior by wide, intersecting corridors; the prominent, asymmetrically placed, clock tower, surmounted by a spire; the projecting entrances on the two street elevations, each with round-arched openings, ornate balconies and elaborate, carved detailing; the arcaded groupings of round-headed window openings at the second storey and on the tower, and flat-headed openings at the first storey, joined by pilasters; exterior detailing which emphasizes the vertical and horizontal divisions of the building, including pilasters spanning two storeys, a bold modillion cornice at the roofline, and string courses of sandstone and terra cotta; its elaborate, massively scaled, carved-stone detailing, including corner turrets, pedimented gables, foliated motifs at the two street entrances, and a tower panel showing the name and construction date of the building; the use of high-quality materials, including brick walls, sandstone foundation, stone and terra cotta detailing, and slate roof; surviving remnants of the original interior layout, including the division of each floor into quadrants by wide, intersecting corridors and the room partitioning within those quadrants; surviving remnants of the original council chamber, including its large scale, vaulted ceiling, and third floor visitors gallery; surviving original interior finishes and detailing in the council chamber, corridors and office areas, in some cases extant behind modern finishes, including oak panelling and wainscoting, decorative plaster ceilings, elaborate wood and plaster carving, ornate window and door trim, panelled and glazed doors, baseboards, and wooden railing; art-glass skylight panels, originally located in the council chamber and the entrance to the third floor gallery; detailing in the reading room, including an iron column with fluted capital, supporting a massive chamfered beam; its relationship to its site, including its prominent location on a corner lot; viewscapes of the building from the downtown area, including its prominent clock tower.

Symondsbury Church stands in the centre of the village, and was probably built on the site of an earlier one. The date of its construction is not known, but the first Rector of whom there is a record came in 1325.

St Botolph's Church is an Anglican church in Horsehouse, a village in Coverdale in North Yorkshire, in England. The first chapel in the village was built in about 1530, and was served by the canons of Coverham Abbey. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries, it became a chapel of ease to Holy Trinity Church, Coverham. In 1859 it was described as "ancient" but "small". It was rebuilt in 1869, possibly incorporating some material from the original chapel. It was Grade II listed in 1988. The church is built of stone with a stone slate roof, and consists of a nave and a chancel under one roof, a south porch, and a west tower. The tower has three stages, quoins, stepped angle buttresses, two-light bell openings with Y-tracery and hood moulds, a string course, and an embattled parapet. The porch has quoins, and contains a pointed arch with a chamfered surround and a hood mould. There are a variety of windows in the Gothic style, including a three-light window at the east end.

Horsehouse is a village in Coverdale in the Yorkshire Dales, North Yorkshire, England. It is listed as a hamlet in many texts, but the presence of the church makes it a village. The River Cover runs near the village, and it lies some 6 miles (9.7 km) and 8.5 miles (13.7 km) south-west of Middleham and Leyburn respectively, at an elevation of 820 feet (250 m). Most of the settlements in Highdale (the parish that Horsehouse is within), were first described in the 13th century, but Horsehouse was not recorded until the 15th century. The village is so named because it provided facilities for horses using the packhorse routes that crossed in the village. One route crossed over into Wharfedale, which is the route that still exists into Kettlewell over Park Rash. Horsehouse was historically in the wapentake of Hang West, the chapelry of Coverham and in the Leyburn Rural District. The village is home to St Botolph's Church, a Grade II listed building rebuilt between 1867 and 1869, and the Thwaite Arms public house, built in 1808. St Botolph's was recorded in an indenture of 1530 from Coverham Abbey, stating a canon would officiate at the church. It had existed before this time, but it is unknown for how long. There are five dedications to St Botolph in Yorkshire. St Botolph became the patron saint of boundaries, travel and trade, so it is thought the church dedication reflects the previous trades of the packhorse routes. A Wesleyan Methodist chapel was erected in the Horsehouse in 1828, and the communities of the Wesleyan's and the Primitive Methodists reunited in 1933. The chapel at Horsehouse is now a private dwelling.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Built in 1882, this Italianate-style building was built by Frederick Gut to house multiple commercial businesses. The building features a red brick exterior with a bracketed cornice with panels, a bonnet roof, a large central parapet with a gabled roof, two-over-two double-hung windows with decorative hoods, a cast iron balcony on the second floor of the front facade, large bays on the first floor of the front facade flanked by stop-chamfered cast iron piers, and a two-story rear addition. The building is a contributing structure in the St. Charles Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970, and expanded to its present size in 1996.

Excerpt from aht.ca/who-we-are/our-history/:

Anishnawbe Health Toronto (AHT) is a vision of the late Elder, Joe Sylvester.

Initial efforts began with a diabetes research project, which realized that a more comprehensive approach to health care was needed by the Aboriginal community.

In response, Anishnawbe Health Resources was incorporated in 1984. One of its objectives stated, “To recover, record and promote Traditional Aboriginal practices where possible and appropriate.”

In 1989, having successfully secured resources from the Ministry of Health, Anishnawbe Health Toronto became recognized and funded as a community health centre.

Since then, AHT has and continues to grow to meet the needs of the community it serves. As a fully accredited community health centre, AHT offers access to health care practitioners from many disciplines including Traditional Healers, Elders and Medicine People. Ancient ceremonies and traditions, intrinsic to our health care model are available. Our work with the homeless has evolved from early directions of crisis intervention to our current efforts of working with those who seek to escape homelessness. Training programs offer community members the opportunity to learn and grow in a culture-based setting.

Today, AHT not only promotes Traditional Aboriginal practices but has affirmed and placed them at its core. Its model of health care is based on Traditional practices and approaches and is reflected in the design of its programs and services.

Description

Take notice that Toronto City Council intends to designate the lands and building known municipally as 425 Cherry Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

Reasons for Designation

The property at 425 Cherry Street is worthy of designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value, and meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation under 5 criteria of design and physical, historical and associative, and contextual values.

Description

The property at 425 Cherry Street is located at the southeast corner of Front Street East and Cherry Street. The building is comprised of a three-storey structure fronting on Cherry Street, with a three-storey warehouse addition behind, extending along Front Street East. The building was constructed in three major stages - the two-storey Palace Street School, constructed in 1859 and designed by architect Joseph Sheard in the Jacobean style with an addition in 1869 by architect William Irving; the three-storey Cherry Street Hotel, constructed in 1890 incorporating the former school and designed by architect David Roberts Jr. in the Queen Anne Revival style; and the three-storey warehouse, constructed in c.1920.

Statement of Cultural Heritage Value

Design and Physical Value

The property at 425 Cherry Street is valued as a representative example of an evolved building type and style, reflecting the evolution of the property from its early use as one of the city's early "free" schools, to a hotel, a warehouse, and a restaurant. The building contains representative elements of the Jacobean and Queen Anne Revival styles, the former being used for many of the first schools constructed by the Toronto Board of Education, and the latter a popular style in Toronto for house form and hotel buildings between 1880 and 1910. While altered through later additions, elements of the Jacobean style can be seen on the first two floors of the former school's west and south facades, including the use of brick cladding (buff and red), brick quoins at the window surrounds and at the building's corners, the symmetrical organization of the facades featuring central projecting frontispieces bound by large rectangular window openings; and the stone drip moulds over the south entrance and the second storey window above. The building's Queen Anne Revival style is evidenced in the portion of the building constructed as the hotel (at the corner of Front and Cherry Streets) and in the third floor addition above the former school, and include the mansard roof with dormer windows; the arched window openings on the second storey; the elaborate use of brick ornamentation at the second storey cornice; the large plate-glass storefront windows with sandstone details; and the Dutch gable with inset Palladian window opening. The three-storey warehouse addition features elements indicative of the warehouse building type, including large rectangular window openings with cast stone lintels and brick sills; a flat roof with brick parapet; and minimal architectural ornamentation.

Historical and Associative Value

The historical and associative value of the property at 425 Cherry Street resides in its construction as the Palace Street School (1859), its subsequent adaptive reuse as the Cherry Street Hotel (1890) it's later conversion for use as a warehouse for various manufacturing and transportation-related businesses (1920), and its having been the location of the Canary Grill, from 1965 to 2007. Originally constructed in 1859 as one of the early "free" schools built in Toronto by the Toronto Board of Education and the first free school to serve St. Lawrence Ward, the one-storey schoolhouse was designed by architect, alderman and future Mayor of Toronto, Joseph Sheard. In 1869 the structure was expanded to the designs of architect William Irving, a former apprentice in Sheard's office and a prolific architect in Toronto through the second half of the 19th century. The Palace Street School is also associated with Georgina Stanley Reid, an educator with the Toronto Board of Education who served as principal of the school from 1882 until its closure in 1887, and who continued to serve as principal of its replacement school, Sackville Street Public School (now Inglenook Community School), until her retirement in 1912.

Following construction of the larger Sackville Street Public School in 1887, the Toronto Board of Education sold the property to brewer, businessman, and real estate developer Robert Thomas Davies, who had the building converted into a hotel to the designs of architect David Roberts Jr. in 1890. David Roberts Jr. had previously designed much of the nearby Gooderham and Worts Distillery, as well as a number of hotels, including the nearby Dominion Hotel on Queen Street East, which was also owned by Davies. Robert Davies was an influential industrialist in late Victorian Toronto who owned a concentration of businesses along the Don River; he was the founder of the Dominion Brewery, and later owned the Don Valley Brick Works and Don Valley Paper Company Limited. The hotel which at various times was called the Iverson Hotel, Darcy's Hotel/Hall, Eastern Star Hotel, and Cherry Street Hotel, was a fixture within the Corktown community from 1890 to 1910, however its role within the neighbourhood diminished alongside the demolition of the surrounding area's residential character, the displacement of the neighbourhood's working-class residents, the relocation of the nearby Don Station, and the expansion of railway lines and supporting industries. The property was subsequently converted for warehouse and manufacturing use, and the three storey warehouse addition was constructed on the east façade of the building c.1920.

In 1965 the Canary Grill moved into the first floor, and became a well-known establishment within the area catering to those employed in transportation and manufacturing-related industries, as well as commuters. Through the latter half of the 20th century studio spaces within the building were leased to a wide range of creative and cultural tenants, including musicians, artists, manufacturers and cultural sector workers. In the late 1980s, the property was expropriated as part of the joint municipal and provincial governments' plans to redevelop the West Don Lands into a new neighbourhood, called "Ataratiri". The expropriation resulted in the eviction of many of the building's tenants, however the Canary Grill remained open until 2007, after which the building was fully vacated.

Contextual Value

Contextually, the Palace Street School / Cherry Street Hotel is significant in its relation to the former Canadian National Railways Office Building, located on the northeast corner of Front Street East and Cherry Street, and is part of a larger post-industrial landscape within the West Don Lands, which includes the Gooderham and Worts Distillery, Cherry Street Interlocking Station, and the Dominion Foundry Complex. The CNR Office Building was constructed in 1923, and is recognized on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. The two buildings complement each other, with similar setbacks from the corner and with a common low-scale brick clad form. Together, the properties form a gateway into the West Don Lands neighbourhood, a mixed-use area constructed as part of the 2015 Pan Am and Para Pan Games, and form a significant landmark within the community.

The Downtown East St. Louis Historic District was determined to be locally significant for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) under Criterion A for Commerce & Criterion C for Architecture. The district is the last remaining contiguous group of cultural resources related to the twentieth century economic growth of East St. Louis, Illinois. In the first three decades of the twentieth century, two cities were growing rapidly on the banks of the Mississippi River below its confluence with the Missouri. While the fame & fortune of St. Louis was already well assured, its neighbor across the river, East St. Louis, was an insurgent urban force. The emergence was staggering: in 1900, East St. Louis had a mere 29,734 residents, but by 1930 that number was 74,397. Between 1900 and 1928, downtown East St. Louis was remade from a modest city center into a central business district built on a scale anticipating future growth. The core of downtown East St. Louis gave rise to buildings of as much architectural refinement as contemporary buildings in St. Louis, but with a distinctly local mark. East St. Louis’ embrace of urban modernity would be shaped by local designers like Albert B. Frankel and J.W. Kennedy, St. Louis’ Mauran, Russell & Garden and William B. Ittner, and Kansas City’s Boller Brothers. The remaining architecture of downtown East St. Louis shows signs of open experimentation, like the Murphy Building’s bakery brick façade, the Ainad Temple’s boldly Moorish style, and the Sullivanesque ornamentation of the Spivey Building, alongside many examples of traditional one & two-part commercial blocks. By 1930, downtown East St. Louis could boast a modern air-conditioned movie palace seating over 1,700; a hotel capable of hosting statewide conventions; a skyscraper employing the design tenets of the progressive Prairie School; well-designed banks; office buildings of all sizes & styles; and department stores & other retailers. In 1960, with a peak population of over 82,000 residents, East St. Louis publicly was named the “All America City” but the city nearly immediately began a precipitous decline. The period of significance for the NRHP begins in 1900, when the oldest building likely was built, through 1960, when the decline of the District became evident.

The Grossman Building (seen in the photograph above), built in 1928 with a Renaissance Revival style of architecture, occupies about half a city block at the southeast corner of Missouri & Collinsville Ave. It is a two-story glazed terra cotta building with intricate terra cotta ornamentation and a flat roof. The main corner of the building is a three-story tower with a chamfered first-floor supported by a square column located at the intersection of Missouri & Collinsville Ave. The two side elevations of this tower are identical: the second floor has one unglazed window opening with a tall decorative terra cotta lintel and is topped by a small dripstone; the third floor has three unglazed arched window apertures with deep slanted sills; and on top of the tower is an elaborate cornice composed of 'S' curves and coats of arms. Small spherical finials top the corners of the tower. The elevations on either side of this corner entry bay both have seven bays on the first floor that are defined by cast terra cotta piers & lintels and nine window openings on the second floor.

The Downtown East St. Louis Historic District was added to the NRHP on September 17, 2014. All the information above was borrowed from the original documents submitted to for listing consideration and can be found here:

The first Mughal Emperor, Babur, was succeeded by his son, Humayun, who ruled in India for a decade but was expelled. Eventually he took refuge with the Safavid shah of Persia, who helped him regain Delhi in 1555, the year before his death. Humayun's Persian wife, Hamida Begum, supervised the construction from 1562-1572 of her husband's tomb in Delhi. The architect, Mirak Mirza Ghiyuath, was Persian and had previously designed buildings in Herat (now northwest Afghanistan), Bukhara (now Uzbekistan), and elsewhere in India. The location chosen for the building on the bank of the Yamuna river adjoins the shrine of an important Sufi Chistiyya order saint, Nizam al-Din Awliya. The Chistiyya was particularly venerated by the Mughals; Humayun's son, Akbar, would build his new palace at Fatehpur Sikri next to the shrine of another saint of the Chistiyya order.

The tomb established some of the important norms for later Mughal mausolea. It is set in a geometrically arranged garden criscrossed by numerous water channels and probably representing symbolically a paradise setting. Such typical Persian gardens had been introduced into India by Babur; later they would be found in the Red Fort in Delhi and at the Taj Mahal in Agra. The architectural form of the building is Persian and especially in its main chamber shows some familiarity with the tomb of the Mongol Ilkhanid ruler of Persia, Oljeytu, at Sultaniyya. It is one of a long line of Mughal buildings influenced by Timurid architecture, notably the tomb of Timur (Tamerlane) in Samarkand. Babur was proud of his Timurid heritage and deeply regretted his inability to hold Samarkand. His successors continued to dream of regaining Samarkand and would interrogate visitors about Timur's tomb. Humayun's tomb is the first Indian building to use the Persian double dome; it is noteworthy for its harmonious proportions. As with later Mughal tombs, that of Humayun is set upon a podium or platform (see another example in the Taj Mahal). The most obvious Indian features of the architecture are the small kiosks or chhatris on the roof. The building is also noteworthy for its inlaid tile work, carving embodying both Indian and Persian decorative elements, and its carved stone screens.

This tomb, built in 1570, is of particular cultural significance as it was the first garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent. It inspired several major architectural innovations, culminating in the construction of the Taj Mahal.

Humayun’s Tomb, Delhi is the first of the grand dynastic mausoleums that were to become synonyms of Mughal architecture with the architectural style reaching its zenith 80 years later at the later Taj Mahal. Humayun’s Tomb stands within a complex of 21.60 ha. that includes other contemporary, 16th century Mughal garden-tombs such as Nila Gumbad, Isa Khan, Bu Halima, Afsarwala, Barber’s Tomb and the complex where the craftsmen employed for the Building of Humayun’s Tomb stayed, the Arab Serai.

Humayun’s Tomb was built in the 1560’s, with the patronage of Humayun’s son, the great Emperor Akbar. Persian and Indian craftsmen worked together to build the garden-tomb, far grander than any tomb built before in the Islamic world. Humayun’s garden-tomb is an example of the charbagh (a four quadrant garden with the four rivers of Quranic paradise represented), with pools joined by channels. The garden is entered from lofty gateways on the south and from the west with pavilions located in the centre of the eastern and northern walls.

The mausoleum itself stands on a high, wide terraced platform with two bay deep vaulted cells on all four sides. It has an irregular octagon plan with four long sides and chamfered edges. It is surmounted by a 42.5 m high double dome clad with marble flanked by pillared kiosks (chhatris) and the domes of the central chhatris are adorned with glazed ceramic tiles. The middle of each side is deeply recessed by large arched vaults with a series of smaller ones set into the facade.

The interior is a large octagonal chamber with vaulted roof compartments interconnected by galleries or corridors. This octagonal plan is repeated on the second storey. The structure is of dressed stone clad in red sandstone with white and black inlaid marble borders.

Humayun’s garden-tomb is also called the ‘dormitory of the Mughals’ as in the cells are buried over 150 Mughal family members.

The tomb stands in an extremely significant archaeological setting, centred at the Shrine of the 14th century Sufi Saint, Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya. Since it is considered auspicious to be buried near a saint’s grave, seven centuries of tomb building has led to the area becoming the densest ensemble of medieval Islamic buildings in India.

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.

This is one of Cornwall's finest churches and lies above Pont Creek, which is off the estuary of the River Fowey between Bodinnick and Polruan. It is Grade I-listed and considered by Simon Jenkins to be one of England's Thousand Best Churches.

According to British Listed Buildings it has traces of Norman work in tower arches and in jambs on south doorway. A stone built into the main doorway has been dated by Pevsner to be 8th century at the latest. So there were almost certainly earlier buildings on this site. The church was reconstructed at the end of the 14th century with the tower, nave and north arcade dating from that period. The south arcade dates from around 1500 with the porch possibly being rebuilt in the 17th century.

E H Sedding, who restored the church in 1904/5, found it "a fascinating storehouse of Christian art.... no other Cornish church contains more of its old woodwork." The church features original unceiled waggon roofs throughout with chamfered ribs in the north

aisle. The elaborate bench ends date from around 1500.

The Punch House is a public house and hotel located at Agincourt Square, Monmouth, Wales. Originally a coaching inn called The Wine Vaults, records show the pub was in existence in 1769. The pub was known as The Punch House from around 1832 but did not change name officially until 1896. The pub that stands today was originally two pubs until the late 1990s. At that date the Punch House was extended to include The Bull public house which occupied the adjoining premises. The Bull itself was originally known as The Black Bull in the 1800s. The internal door which now unites the two lounges downstairs is said to be the door of Monmouth County Gaol.

The building has been a Grade II listed building since 15 August 1974. It has a stucco frontage with chamfered quoins and a half hipped Welsh slate roof. The elevation is continuous with that of the Bull Inn which has a slightly lower roofline.

Left of shot, the spire of St Mary's Priory Church is visible; the current building is mainly 18th and 19th Century and the spire dates to 1743, although the church was founded in 1075.
