Built in 1929, the Art Deco-style 32-story Foshay Tower was designed by Magney & Tusler, Inc. and modeled on the Washington Monument, taking the form of a large, Indiana Limestone-clad obelisk, and was built by William Foshay, owner of the W. B. Foshay Company, a utility company created by the merger of three smaller utility companies. The building stands in the center of the block, set back far from the street, and tapers towards the top, where it is crowned by an antenna and adorned by large signs made up of multiple lightbulbs projecting the name “Foshay” out across the surrounding city. The first building in Minneapolis to surpass the height of the 4th Street Clock Tower of Minneapolis City Hall, the building was the tallest in the city and in the state of Minnesota until the IDS Center was completed in 1972. The building features a podium two stories tall, which historically housed retail shops, offices, and a parking garage, and featured a residential apartment on the 27th and 28th floors that was intended to be the three-bedroom, three-bathroom residence of Foshay, but was never occupied thanks to the Great Depression hitting around the time the building was completed, leading to a collapse of Foshay’s business empire. The building subsequently became home to Citizens Utilities, which was formed from the remaining assets of the W. B. Foshay Company. Various other tenants occupied the building’s commercial spaces over the years, most notably, the Norwegian Consulate was located in the building until 2007. The building was adaptively reused and restored to become home to the W Hotel Minneapolis in 2008, with the original lobby decorations and other interior elements being restored, along with extensive work on the exterior. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

Sorry, kids! I didn't bail on you. I was scheduled to sing the national anthem at a sports event in Pasadena, California this morning. After I arrived I was informed by one of the event organizers that I was dressed too risqué to perform. Here's a picture that highlights my offensive outfit, taken at the event this morning, for you all to enjoy!

November 2013: New cladding on Aberdeen College Gallowgate Campus (Now North East Scotland College, Aberdeen City Campus), Gallowgate, Aberdeen to refurbish buildings
The TECU Bronze #cladding specified by Associated Architects for the Emily Wilding Davison Building was supplied in its natural warm, reddish brown state, which will develop in a manner characteristic for #bronze through the effects of weathering. #architecture bit.ly/2DRYThI
Cladding on the car park, made up of strips twisted in patterns echoing the intersecting patterns elsewhere in the development.
Still pretty new in February 2020. An upmarket shopping arcade with a John Lewis department store and a multi-storey car park.
The Stereo Card
A stereoscopic view of College Green in Dublin bearing no publisher's name - there is simply a printed label stuck on to the plain yellow back of the card which states:
'Ireland.
College Green, Dublin.
(Instantaneous)
This marvel of Art truthfully
depicts Street Life in Ireland's
Metropolis.'
'Instantaneous' in this context presumably refers to a short exposure.
College Green, Dublin
College Green is a three-sided plaza in the centre of Dublin. On its northern side is the Bank of Ireland building, which until 1800 was Ireland's Parliament House. To its east stands Trinity College Dublin. To its south stands a series of 19th.-century buildings.
College Green has been used as an assembly point for major political rallies. In the mid-1990's, United States President Bill Clinton addressed a crowd during his visit to Ireland. President Barack Obama also spoke at the site in an address during his visit in May 2011.
-- History of College Green
The area was once known as Hoggen Green, and named after the nunnery of the Blessed Virgin Mary del Hogges constructed at this location in 1156 by Diarmaid mac Murchadha.
The name "Hoggen" derives from the Old Norse word haugr meaning mound, or barrow. The cemetery at College Green consisted of several burial mounds, which are thought to have contained the remains of some of the Norse kings of Dublin.
Between Church Lane and Suffolk Street, the Hiberno-Norse held their Thing, an assembly and meeting place, which was still to be seen in the 17th. century.
The site has been historically used in celebration, with newly appointed Viceroys of Ireland being welcomed on the street.
Trinity College was founded on the street's east side in 1592. The west front's facade was designed by Theodore Jacobsen and added in 1751.
Several public monuments stand in College Green, including a 19th.-century statue facing the college of old Irish Parliament member Henry Grattan, designed by John Henry Foley.
By the time Charles Brooking published his map of Dublin in 1728, College Green had developed from a rural thoroughfare, and properties had been built on both sides of the street.
The statue of William of Orange on College Green, erected in 1701, was severely damaged in an explosion in 1928, and was removed in 1929.
A statue of King William III of England on horseback was constructed in the centre of College Green in 1701 by Grinling Gibbons.
The statue was historically the site of celebrations marking the King's birthday on the 4th. November, with a procession through the city and a parade around the statue. These celebrations during the age of the Whig single party state were recorded by Mary Delany, who wrote that:
"The King is idolized here
almost to superstition."
After the formation of the ultra-Whig Orange Order in 1795 and the Rebellion of 1798, the statue became a target for the fervour of both sides. The statue was routinely decorated with orange ribbons and lilies, with the railings painted orange, but it was also frequently defaced, painted with pitch, and there was even one attempt to remove the head.
The statue also featured in James Joyce's story "The Dead". It continued to be attacked and defaced numerous times through the 19th. and 20th. centuries, leading to many repairs.
The annual parades and processions ceased in 1823. It was eventually taken down after 277 years when it was badly damaged in an explosion on the 11th. November 1928, Armistice Day, with the head having been stolen in 1929.
The area was the temporary site of an air raid shelter during World War II.
In 1966, a statue of the poet and nationalist Thomas Davis was constructed in the centre of College Green, to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Easter Rising. The design includes a fountain designed by Edward Delaney, featuring four figures with trumpets which represent the four provinces of Ireland.
-- Architecture of College Green
Chichester House was constructed by Arthur Chichester, 1st. Baron Chichester in the early 17th. century. It was subsequently adapted for the Irish Parliament around 1670, and replaced by a new Parliament House in 1729, designed by Edward Lovett Pearce.
It was later enlarged by James Gandon in 1787 and Edward Parke between 1804 and 1808. The site is now the Bank of Ireland.
Daly's Club, a gambling house and club founded by Patrick Daly in 1750, moved to the space on College Green between Foster Place and Anglesea Street at numbers 2–5 in 1769. It closed in 1823.
The buildings were renovated in 1870, with two additional storeys added. The centre portion is now taken up by shops.
Number 6-8 was formerly the site of the Jury's Hotel. It opened in 1839 as a commercial lodging house, and was rebuilt in 1859 and 1882. The premises were sold when Jury's relocated to Ballsbridge.
The contents were auctioned, with the ornate mahogany bar sold to a buyer in Zurich. The site was bought by Patrick Gallagher in July 1979, who demolished the hotel in 1980 and built a granite-clad office block designed by Burke-Kennedy Doyle and Partners in its place, which was used by Telecom Éireann.
The remodelled building now forms part of the Central Plaza development by Hines.
The Ulster Bank headquarters on College Green was built in the late 1970's. Despite objections from groups like the Dublin Civic Group, a collection of mostly Victorian buildings which faced onto College Green, Suffolk Street and Church Lane were demolished in 1976 to make way for the new development. The high-domed Victorian façade on College Green was kept, but the interior was entirely remodelled.
Guinness Mahon moved from South Frederick Street to numbers 16–17 in 1854. The current building was constructed in 1931 by G&T Crampton for the Bank. The Bank subsequently moved to St Stephen's Green.
-- Traffic Restriction
Since July 2009, College Green, during peak times on working days, has been accessible only to pedestrians, buses, taxis and cyclists.
In 2016, plans were published for College Green to be fully pedestrianised, apart from a public-transport lane along the Trinity College side, to create a large public space in front of the Bank of Ireland.
Dublin City Council announced that a joint team of Dixon Jones and Paul Keogh Architects would be responsible for redesigning the space. The plans drew several protests from store owners, taxi drivers and bus operators.
In October 2018 An Bord Pleanála, the state planning agency rejected the plan.
The Green Party-led Dublin City Council banned traffic for three Sundays in summer 2019 in order to test the feasibility of further traffic restrictions.
