Built in 1910, this Classical Revival-style building was designed by Edward Tilton and funded by the Carnegie Foundation to house a branch of the Cleveland Public Library in Cleveland’s Ohio City neighborhood. The triangular-shaped building is located in the middle of the triangular Frank Novak Park, and features curved corners, fluted ionic pilasters and an ionic portico at the front entrance, decorative terra cotta trim, a low-slope roof enclosed by a parapet, large windows, a cornice with dentils, cartouches and quoins, and a raised basement. The building is a contributing structure in the Ohio City Preservation District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The building continues to serve as a branch of the Cleveland Public Library, and has a well-preserved historic exterior and interior.

Dome, Maine State House, State Street and Capitol Street, Augusta, ME by Warren LeMay

1

Built in 1829-1832, this Classical Revival-style building was originally designed by Charles Bullfinch as a smaller structure, and was heavily renovated in 1890-1891 and 1909-1910, with the latter being carried out under the direction of G. Henri Desmond, removing most of the original structure and adding the present dome and wings. The building’s original section forms the nucleus of the present structure, with additions to the east, west, north, and atop the roof, due to the increasing needs for space by various state government agencies and departments, as well as the growing needs of the legislators. The building’s exterior is clad in white granite, with arched bays on the third floor, doric pilasters, a front portico with a rusticated base and doric colonnade below a pediment on the second floor, with this central section of the facade being flanked by two wings, housing the state house and senate chambers, which feature low domes on their roofs. Atop the center of the building’s main wing is a metal dome atop a cylindrical drum with a doric colonnade, a lantern and golden statue atop the dome, and a balustrade wrapping around the top of the colonnade at the drum. The rear of the building features a gabled roof, with largely rectilinear window bays, a semi-circular rear bay window, and arched window bays at the exterior of the state library. Inside, the details are rather restrained, with stone floors, wooden trim, a paneled ceiling in the rotunda, pilasters, and skylights being the most notable features. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and is a contributing structure in the Capitol Complex Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. Today, the building remains the seat of the state government of Maine.

Caesar's Hall at Kedleston Hall by Elliott Brown

The visit to the National Trust property in Derbyshire, Kedleston Hall.

Kedleston Hall is a neo-classical manor house owned by the National Trust, and seat of the Curzon family, located in Kedleston, Derbyshire, approximately 4 miles (6 km) north-west of Derby. The medieval village of Kedleston was moved in 1759 by Nathaniel Curzon to make way for the manor. All that remains of the original village is the 12th century All Saints Church, Kedleston.

The current house was commissioned in 1759 by Nathaniel Curzon and designed by Robert Adam.

The Curzon family, whose name originates in Notre-Dame-de-Courson in Normandy, have been in Kedleston since at least 1297, and have lived in a succession of manor houses near to or on the site of the present Kedleston Hall. The present house was commissioned by Sir Nathaniel Curzon (later 1st Baron Scarsdale) in 1759. The house was designed by the Palladian architects James Paine and Matthew Brettingham and was loosely based on an original plan by Andrea Palladio for the never-built Villa Mocenigo.

At the time a relatively unknown architect, Robert Adam, was designing some garden temples to enhance the landscape of the park; Curzon was so impressed with his designs that Adam was quickly put in charge of the construction of the new mansion.

On the death of Richard Curzon, 2nd Viscount Scarsdale in 1977, expenses compelled the heir, his cousin (Francis Curzon), to transfer the property to the care of the National Trust.
