The Queen’s College name in my own classical Chinese translation written in Chinese calligraphy. Kunning 坤寧, literally "earthly tranquility”, shares phonological similarity with the pronunciation of Queen’s. Kunning is also the name of one of the three main halls of the Inner Court of the Forbidden City in Beijing, China. In the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), it was the residence of the Empress (wife of the emperor), a concept that similar to our Queen. The work was presented to Professor Dirk Meyer, Queen’s Fellow and Associate Professor of Chinese Philosophy, as a gift.
Saint Pancras church is heavily classical. It actually merges together copies of two ancient Greek monuments, the Erychtheum in Athens and the Tower of the Winds. Here is some strongly classical ornament from the west front.

Hampton County, SC
The Hampton Jail, located at 702 First Street West in the town of Hampton, South Carolina, was completed c. 1880, following the completion of a nearby courthouse for the newly established Hampton County. Unfortunately, the exact layout of the original jail, consisting of a two-story brick building, has not been fully determined. The present building, however, consists of a painted brick, two-story late 19th and early 20th century Classical Revival residential form, backed by a one-story brick gabled ell addition on the northwest. This addition was added in 1920, when Hampton County officials completed substantial renovations and added the new wing---an extension downstairs allowing additional living space for the jailer. The cells on the second floor were modified in 1925. The Hampton County Jail, originally meant as a holding area for 48 hours until the accused could stand trial (usually for drunkenness or petty crimes), became by the 1960s overcrowded and the first floor rooms on the northeast side of the house were divided into additional jail cells. Beginning in 1977, following the official transfer of jail operations to the new county jail building, the Hampton County Council leased the Hampton County Jail to the South Carolina Department of Wildlife and Marine Resources until 1989, and today it houses the Hampton County Historical Society.

Originally built in 514 BCE, Suzhou has over 2,500 years of rich history, and relics of the past are abundant to this day. The city's canals, stone bridges, pagodas, and meticulously designed gardens have contributed to its status as one of the top tourist attractions in China. Since the Song Dynasty (960-1279), it has also been an important centre for China's silk industry.
The classical gardens in Suzhou were added to the list of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1997 and 2000. Suzhou is often dubbed the "Venice of the East" or "Venice of China".

Thanks for looking. I appreciate feedback!
First pullip. Expect lots of Alice pictures! She quickly became one if my favorite dolls, and one of my favorite dolls to photograph. I got her from PullipStyle.com with a dent box, as I didn't care for the box, only Alice and her accessories, and I was planning to take her out of packaging from the start so I saved a couple of dollars there(even though it took me 5 minutes to find such dent that I hardly think of it as one. Such a non-problem being taken into consideration by the retailer really shows the high quality of service from PullipStyle).
Over-all review of Alice: She's mine hands off! Kidding aside lovely, and looks a lot like the drawings of Alice in Through The Looking-Glass, with a bit of pimped up attributes here and there making her a one of a kind variation. The wig has a good scent to it, so it won't get a foul odor on the clothing and accessories. It has no bald spots and you can't see the seams of the wig unless you push the hair over. It is a nice thin(dimensions matter!), polyester I believe, hair, with quite minute frizzing. Almost none, but making the hair look more natural. Her curls are not stiff, and incredibly soft. The company(Groove) used a very very high quality spray, that can't be noticed practically at all when touching the hair, to help keep the curls in their designated design. The curls are easily fixed with only moist fingers. Great doll, but very delicate. I've never been more careful with a doll than Alice.
This 1918 building on Michigan Avenue south of Cermak presents a stately façade, despite the blocked-up windows.
Built in 1925-26, this Classical Revival-style building with some subtle Art Deco features was designed by Arthur Reynolds, and was constructed to house offices for the Territory of Hawaii, a role it continues to serve, now housing offices for the State of Hawaii. Also known as Kekuanaoa Hale, the building features two one-and-a-half-story wings flanking a central five-and-a-half-story tower, with a raised basement adding a partial floor to the building’s overall height. The building’s wings feature raised corner sections with arched three-bay windows, a simple cornice, two levels of one-over-one double-hung windows on the sides, taller windows on the front facade, and lanais on the rear facade. The tower features a first floor entrance porch with a staircase from ground level, an arched portal at the face of the facade, which features decorative panels, and an entry door with a roman lattice mullion pattern on the transom and transoms of the two flanking windows. Above the entrance, the tower rises four floors, with the top three floors featuring a three-story three-bay portico with corinthian columns, balconies with french doors on the fourth floor, doric pilasters on either side of the bays flanking the portico and at the rear of the portico, a cornice at the base of the roof, and a parapet with gables above, with the sides and rear of the tower featuring bays flanked by simpler doric pilasters. The building houses government offices for the State of Hawaii, and though the interior has been renovated many times and lost a lot of its original features in the process, the lobby and staircase remain largely intact, with a large stained glass dome with the state seal on the ceiling of this space. The building is a contributing structure in the Hawaii Capital Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
Built in 1823 in front of the site of a former 1704 meeting house. The stone columns in antis are thought to have come originally from the Duke of Chandos' house Canons, near Edgware. They were commonly thought to have been used by Earl Tylney for part of Wanstead House before being spolia for an additional portico to the meeting house in 1891, although there is no primary source to support such an idea. The meeting house was incorporated into a board school in 1924 and subsequently demolished by the Council when it built a new school in the 1960s.
