The Stovehouse in Huntsville, Alabama is a mixed-use office, shopping, dining, and entertainment venue built on the grounds of an old wood and oil heating stove factory. Some of the old buildings, machinery, and tools have been used and on display in the venue. This old furnace is in the back part of the development. Based on the construction around it, there may be plans to incorporate it somehow into a venue.
is this real or just constructed?

Paddy's Hole is a small harbour constructed from slag in the lagoon on the Teesmouth side of South Gare. It is named Paddy's Hole because of the many Irishmen who helped build the South Gare in the mid 19th century.
This consists of 90 images stitched together in CS5. Why 90 i hear you ask!! Well, the first two attempts didn't work due to disjointed masts because of the boats moving a little..( i think??) and one or two other things i didn't like. So, i had another try and allowed a lot more overlap than usual...hence the 90, i think it worked this time.
Victoria's roundhouse... Constructed in 1912
A new development is incorporating these old buildings and restoring them.

Αρχαίο θέατρο Δωδώνης
Το αρχαίο θέατρο της Δωδώνης στην Ήπειρο είναι από τα μεγαλύτερα και καλύτερα σωζόμενα αρχαία ελληνικά θέατρα. Η χωρητικότητα του θεάτρου είναι 18.000 θεατές. Το θέατρο της Δωδώνης αποτελούσε τμήμα του πανελλήνιου ιερού της Δωδώνης και κατασκευάστηκε τον 3ο αιώνα π.Χ. από τον βασιλιά της Ηπείρου Πύρρο (297-272 π.Χ.) που θέλησε με αρχιτεκτονικά μνημεία και οικοδομήματα να στολίσει τις περιοχές του βασιλείου του. Την ίδια εποχή κατασκευάστηκε και το μικρό θέατρο της αρχαίας Αμβρακίας. Το κοίλο του θεάτρου της Δωδώνης τοποθετήθηκε στους πρόποδες του όρους Τόμαρος σε φυσική κοιλότητα ώστε να εκμεταλευτεί το επικλινές έδαφος, πράγμα που ήταν η συνηθισμένη πρακτική στην κατασκευή των αρχαίων ελληνικών θεάτρων.Η ορχήστα του θεάτρου δεν είναι ολοκληρωμένος κύκλος και έχει μεγαλύτερη διάμετρο 18,70.
Το θέατρο έπαθε απανωτές καταστροφές, ανοικοδομήσεις και διαμορφώσεις στους αιώνες που ακολούθησαν την παρακμή του βασιλείου της Ηπείρου και στα χρόνια της ρωμαικής κατάκτησης χρησιμοποιήθηκε ως αρένα. Από τον 4ο αιώνα μ.Χ. έπαψε να λειτουργεί. Οι πρώτες ανασκαφές και αναστηλώσεις στον αρχαιολογικό χώρο της Δωδώνης άρχισαν το 1875 και συνεχίζονται μέχρι σήμερα. Το θέατρο της Δωδώνης στις μέρες μας φιλοξενεί κάποιες παραστάσεις τους καλοκαιρινούς μήνες. Το αρχαίο θέατρο της Δωδώνης βρίσκεται σε απόσταση 22 χιλιομέτρων από τα Γιάννενα.
Ancient theater of Dodoni
The ancient theater of Dodoni in Epirus is one of the largest and best preserved ancient greek theaters. The capacity of the theater is 18,000 spectators. The theater of Dodoni was part of the Panhellenic sanctuary of Dodoni and was constructed in the 3rd century B.C. by King Pyrros of Epirus (297-272 B.C.) who wanted to decorate the areas of his kingdom with architectural monuments and buildings. At the same time the small theater ancient Amvrakia was constructed. The hollow of the theater of Dodoni was placed at the foot of Mount Tomaros in a natural cavity to take advantage of the sloping terrain, which was the usual practice in the construction of ancient greek theaters. The orchestra of the theater is not a complete cycle and has a larger diameter 18.70 m.
The theater suffered successive disasters, reconstructions and formations in the centuries that followed the decline of the kingdom of Epirus and during the Roman conquest was used as an arena. From the 4th century AC ceased to function. The first excavations and restorations of the ancient site of Dodoni began in 1875 and continue until today. nowadays the theater of Dodoni hosts some performances during the summer months. The ancient theater Dodoni is located 22 km from Ioannina.
The Low Memorial Library is a building on the campus of Columbia University in Morningside Heights, Manhattan, New York City, United States. Designed by Charles Follen McKim of the firm McKim, Mead & White, the building was constructed between 1895 and 1897 as the university's central library. The building was funded with $1 million from university president Seth Low, who named the edifice in memory of his father, Abiel Abbot Low. It houses the central administrative offices of the university. Located near 116th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue, Low is arranged in the shape of a Greek cross.
Three sets of stairs on the south side of the building lead to an Ionic-style colonnade with a frieze describing the library's founding. The steps contain Daniel Chester French's sculpture Alma Mater, a university symbol. Inside, Low contains four stories, the most prominent of which is the raised first floor, which has an entrance vestibule and an ambulatory around an octagonal rotunda. The ambulatory leads to offices on the outer walls. The rotunda has four Vermont-granite columns on each of four sides, as well as a sky-blue plaster dome. The library's stacks were meant to store 1.5 million volumes; the east wing hosted the Avery Architectural Library and the north wing hosted Columbia's law library.
The library was built as part of Columbia University's Morningside Heights campus, which was developed in the 1890s according to a master plan by McKim. When Low Library was completed, it was poorly suited for library use, being overcrowded as early as the beginning of the 20th century. However, Low's central location made it a focal point of the university's campus. Following the completion of the much larger Butler Library in 1934, the building was converted to administrative offices. Low was designated as a New York City landmark in 1967, with the first-floor interior being designated in 1981, and the building was also designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1987.
Low Library is at the center of the Columbia University campus in the Morningside Heights neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. It carries the official address 535 West 116th Street, though the section of 116th Street between Broadway to the west and Amsterdam Avenue to the east is part of the private College Walk. Low is raised above the northern portion of the campus, which itself is a terrace above the South Court to the south. The library building occupies the highest point of the original campus.
The building is surrounded by Miller Theatre and Lewisohn Hall to the southwest; Earl Hall to the west; Mathematics and Havemeyer Halls to the west; Uris Hall to the north; Schermerhorn, Avery, and Fayerweather Halls to the northeast; St. Paul's Chapel to the east; and Buell, Philosophy, and Kent Halls to the southeast; Earl Hall and St. Paul's Chapel are both designed along the same west-east axis as the library building. This arrangement is part of McKim, Mead & White's design for the campus.
The terrace is connected to the South Court by two flights of steps; the library proper is approached by another flight above the terrace. Known as "the Steps", the "Low Steps", or the "Urban Beach", they are a popular meeting area for Columbia students. They also serve as a connection between the northern and southern sections of Columbia's campus.
The flight from the South Court to an intermediate landing is 325 to 327 feet wide. The flight from the intermediate landing to the terrace is narrower, at about 134 to 140 feet. This flight itself has an intermediate landing containing the Alma Mater sculpture by Daniel Chester French. The statue depicts a woman, personifying the traditional image of the university as an alma mater. Hidden in the statue's leg is an owl symbolizing knowledge and learning; college superstition has it that the first member of the incoming class to find the owl will become class valedictorian. The centers of the stairs are curved slightly upward to remove the impression that they were sagging. As a result, the center of each step is about 3.5 inches taller than the extreme ends. Smaller sets of staircases connect the intermediate landing to passages at terrace level on the west and east.
Architecture critic Paul Goldberger said of the Steps in 1987: "The building itself, for all the power of its immense scale and huge dome, seems almost to recede, deferring to the stairs before it." During commencement speeches, Columbia's "graduation mace" is customarily carried down the stairs. The stairs have also been used for other speeches, such as a 1991 speech by novelist Salman Rushdie after the Iranian government targeted him for assassination.

This two-storeyed former hotel was constructed in 1885 for Brisbane publican Daniel Costigan. It replaced a previous, less substantial structure on the site, which had functioned as the Plough Inn since 1864. The new building was erected during South Brisbane's heyday and was part of the 1880s boom-time reconstruction of Stanley Street premises.
The building was designed by architect Alexander B. Wilson, who is more known for his domestic work. It was built by contractor Abraham James, whose tender of £3,300 was accepted in March 1885.
The hotel, prominently located in central Stanley Street, serviced the commercial heart of South Brisbane. Its proximity to the South Brisbane wharves ensured its popularity amongst those engaged in shipping interests.
Initially the L-shaped interior comprised on the ground floor: a central hall, staircase, dining room, two private rooms (probably for dining also), bar, parlour, storage spaces, billiard room, and lavatories; the first floor contained fourteen guest rooms and a bathroom. A verandah along the back of the building connected it to a detached single-storey kitchen. A cellar completed the facilities.
The building has been altered a number of times since its initial construction. In 1922, additions were made by contractors Robertson and Corbette, following the designs of GHM Addison and Son. It is thought that the street awning was added at this time.
In 1987 the building was modified to function as a tavern during Expo '88. Most of the internal walls were removed, the central fireplace and chimney were taken out, and the interior was re-fitted. Also the front verandah was widened, the rear verandah extended, and windows and doors replaced at this time.
In 1991 - 1992 a conservation plan for the Plough Inn was prepared by Bruce Buchanan architects, and the interior was fully refurbished. The front verandah was also reconstructed.

Chartres Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Our Lady of Chartres (French: Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres), is a Roman Catholic church in Chartres, France, about 80 km (50 miles) southwest of Paris and is the seat of the Diocese of Chartres. Mostly constructed between 1194 and 1220, it stands at the site of at least five cathedrals that have occupied the site since Chartres became a bishopric in the 4th century. It is in the Gothic and Romanesque styles.
It is designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, which calls it "the high point of French Gothic art" and a "masterpiece".[

La construction de l’église Saint-Silouane a été commencée en 1988 par une entreprise locale de maçonnerie, sous la direction des moines du monastère qui ont conçu les plans, réalisé les vitraux ainsi que les boiseries et tout l’aménagement intérieur.
Les peintures murales qui s’étendent sur l’ensemble des murs intérieurs (soit 600 m2) ont été réalisées par l’un des meilleurs peintres d’icônes russes contemporains : Yaroslav Dobrynine et son épouse Galina. 30 mois de travail auront été nécessaires pour mener à bien cette œuvre.
L’église et toute sa décoration sont de style byzantin. Ce style, toujours utilisé traditionnellement dans les pays orthodoxes depuis le 6e siècle, est très proche du style roman occidental.
Les églises romanes étaient d’ordinaire, elles aussi, entièrement décorées de fresques, dont il ne reste malheureusement aujourd’hui que de rares vestiges. La conception architecturale d’une église byzantine est symbolique.
Alors que les églises occidentales ont habituellement un clocher en forme de flèche, qui évoque l’effort de l’homme pour s’élever vers le Ciel, la partie centrale d’une église byzantine est couverte d’une coupole, qui symbolise la descente du Ciel sur la terre, de Dieu vers les hommes, mû par son amour miséricordieux.
Dominating the corner from Otho Street in Byron Street, this elegant two storey, Victorian Italianate building was completed in 1886 and became the local Council Chambers from 1960-1983. It was constructed from 300,000 bricks and has foundations which reach 4 metres deep.

When driving to Elgol to passed this old church ruins with a beautiful snow-capped mountain behind and just had to stop and photo it.
Cill Chriosd (Christ's Church or "Kilchrist") is a ruined former parish church of Strath , on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. It was constructed around the 16th century, replacing an earlier Medieval church on the same location, and was used until 1840 when the Parish church was relocated to Broadford. It lies on the B8083 Broadford to Torrin and Elgol road.
The ruins of the church lie at the top of a small mound, surrounded by the graveyard. It has been described by Miers as "The long, low, rubble ruin of the post- Reformation parish church of Strath has roughly dressed quoins and jambs, and a balustraded burial enclosure added to the east gable in the early 18th century for the Mackinnons."
The church doorway, in the south wall, has splayed jambs and check and square sconsions. The south wall also has three windows, with check and inward splay; the east gable has a similar window, which is now built up. The insides measure 52 feet 9 inches (16.08 m) by 17 feet 6 inches (5.33 m). The side walls are 8 feet (2.4 m) tall and 2 feet 3 inches (0.69 m) deep, with the gables 2 feet 10 inches (0.86 m) in thickness. The church is 30 degrees from due east-west, and has no openings in the north and west walls.
The church is the remains of the parish church of Strath, including the cleared villages of Boreraig and Susinish.
The location is thought to have a heritage of Christian worship dating back to the 7th century, when St Mael Ruba preached from nearby Cnoc na-Aifhreann ("hill of the mass"). The original Parish church for Strath was located at Ashiag, and was founded by St Mael Ruba in the 7th Century AD; the new parish church was relocated to this location in the later Middle Ages. The present ruined church probably replaced the first medieval stone church in the 16th century. Written records for the church date back to 1505, although the earliest records only give a list of the names of the ministers. In 1505 the chaplain Kenneth ("Kensoch") Adamson succeeded John MacGillebredison, before being replaced by John Johnson, and then John Ronaldson in 1508 after Johnson's death.
On 19 June 1627, Neil Mackinnon became the first Protestant minister of the church, however he "is remembered primarily for his meanness and his greed". During his appointment ceremony he 'gave his grite and solemn oath that he all treulie according to his knowledge, give up the Clerk of Councell the names of all the Papists he knew within the Isles'. It is recorded that he only allowed his workmen one meal on Sundays (rather than two, as for other days) as they were resting. However, one Sunday two hungry workmen waited until after MacKinnon had finished preaching and had left the church before setting to work with their foot plough. Following this, the preacher allowed them two meals every day.
Cill Chriosd was replaced by a new parish church in Broadford in 1840.
Records from 1913 show that there were a pair of unusual gravemarkers in the graveyard - one dedicated to Chief Lachlan Mor and carrying "obscure hieroglyphics", the other possibly dating from the pre-Christian era. However, both have since vanished. Most graves are connected to Clan MacKinnon, and are from the 18th and 19th centuries. One memorial, in the inner wall of the burial enclosure, is for "Charles Third", who was apparently born in Corry near Broadford as a MacKinnon but later died in Australia after emigrating. A worn medieval slab carved with an ornate cross is located in the south corner of the graveyard.
The churchyard also has an amorial stone, as well as a possible fragment of the necking and lower arms of a crude cross, with one side plane and the other side bearing two animals carved into a relief on the lower portion. The graveyard also contains a slab of slate with a foliated cross, with one side preserved but the other side worn away.
The bridge was constructed by the Canadian Pacific Railway between 1898 and 1900. Four barges were built to move steel beams into position. During the winter (1899–1900) workmen toiled day and night chopping channels to keep the ice clear for the barges to pass so that work could continue on the superstructure.
...a bit of abstractionism...
Constructed from brick, gypsum and lime, most of the pigeon towers originated in the Safavid period of the 16th century, and many still punctuate the plains around Esfahan. This one was actually in the city limits, and contained not one but nine towers in one building, where this was the larger centre tower. The open dome at the top allows pigeons to enter easily, while the honey comb like inner structure provides a home for each and everyone. The smell inside unmistakingly betrays the purpose of the building... which is to collect pigeon droppings to be used as a softener in Esfahan's leather tanneries, as well as fertilizer for the rich watermelon fields.
This particular one, the Hezar Jarib tower, is located in the city, on Sheikh Sadoogh street by the Esfahan University, and is about 14 meters high inside. The absence of pigeons in the shot is perhaps an indication that the increasing use of chemical fertilizer and tanning agents has resulted in a lack of demand for the real s***!

Constructed between 1847 and 1849 by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, (MS&LR - later became the Great Central), this is Torksey railway Viaduct, which crosses the River Trent between Lincolnshire & Nottinghamshire, roughly half way between Lincoln and Gainsborough. Designed by John Fowler (1817-1898), who later was one of the two engineers for the Forth Rail Bridge, Torksey Viaduct is a rare, and early surviving example of a tubular girder bridge.
There are two 130-foot spans over the River Trent, each consisting of two massive wrought iron girders - as seen here.
These are supported on stone piers - one in the centre and one at each side. On the Lincolnshire side is a 570-foot approach viaduct of 20 spans, and the bridge proper starts over a small natural island in the river. The position of the Bridge was chosen to use this island to simplify the task.
Captain Lintorn Simmons, the Board of Trade’s inspector, refused to grant permission for the viaduct to be opened, having “entertained doubts as to the ultimate security” of the bridge. After much argument, Fowler, supported by the Engineering profession, won the day, and the first train passed over in April 1850.
The bridge was twice strengthened - in 1877 & 1897, because increasing traffic and train loads. A conventional steel lattice girder (again, seen in this photograph) was inserted centrally into both main spans in the 1897 works, whilst the northern girders were moved out to maintain track clearances.
The "Leverton Branch", as this line (which ran between Sykes Junction near Lincoln and Clarborough, just West of Gainsborough), was known, was closed on November 3rd 1959, with Lincoln-Sheffield trains taking the only slightly less direct route through Gainsborough Lea Road. However, the line to the West of the Trent was reinstated in 1969 to serve the new power station at Cottam's need for coal, whilst on the Lincolnshire side, the line was run from Sykes Junction to the Shell petrol depot at Torksey. Only the viaduct itself remained closed.
The Oil traffic ceased in the late 1980s, and the track is now all lifted (and the road bridge on the Gainsborough-Lincoln road was removed).
Until the early 1990s it was possible the walk across the viaduct - this was no longer possible by the 1990s as the track bed had been removed on the bridge itself, and that part was fenced off. Happily, this was resolved during the las 12 months. The cycling and footpath charity Sustrans have installed the required safety fencing and reinstated the bridge bed on the North side. There is now a fine footpath over the impressive bridge to the riverbank on the Western (Nottinghamshire) side of the river. This shot shows the (still without a track bed) South side of the bridge.
The viaduct is rightly covered by a Grade II* listing but worryingly, also features on English Heritage's Buildings at Risk register.

Constructed in 1891 the building is of distinctive Victorian design utilising riveted cast iron and glass. Designed by William Harpur. The original Market Hall was destroyed by fire in 1885.
Situated next to the entrance to Blickling Hall, St. Andrew's was originally built in the 13th. century, then remodelled in the 15th. and again in the 19th. century, including the tower and porch by George E. Street in 1876, and the chancel, rebuilt by William Butterfield in the 1850's.
Constructed of flint with limestone dressings with lead roofs, the church consists of a west tower, nave, chancel, south aisle, south porch, north aisle and north-east chapel.
Inside, there is a large memorial and effigy depicting two life-size angels dedicated to William Schomberg Robert Kerr, 8th. Marquis of Lothian, who died in 1870 is buried in Jedburgh Abbey in Scotland. The memorial is by the sculptor George Frederick Watts and was completed in 1878.
The church boasts a collection of brasses. One commemorates Sir Nicholas Dagworth (d. 1401), a soldier and a diplomat under both Edward III and Richard II and who built the first Blickling Hall. Beside him is the memorial to Anne Astley, she died giving birth to twins in 1512, and she holds her male and female swaddled babies. Another brass is to Roger and Cecily Felthorpe (1454) and shows them alongside their 16 children. Other brasses include those to members of the Boleyn family.
There are a number of other memorials in the church. One shows the now handless bust of Elizabeth Gurdon under a canopy in the chancel. She died of a cold in 1582 at the age of 17 while while visiting Sir Edward Clere at Blickling Hall. By the south doorway is a wall monument of 1901 by the sculptor Arthur G. Walker to Constance, wife of the 7th. Marquess of Lothian.
In the Lady Chapel is the chest tomb of Sir Edward Clere, 1st. Baronet Ormesby, who died in London on 3rd. June 1606, aged 69. The tomb is decorated with shields of the family line which can be traced back to the Norman Conquest of 1066.
The church also contains a late medieval font, a pulpit from 1692, an organ by Snetzler of 1762 and an intricately carved First and Second World War wooden war memorial in the style of a pulpit. Either side of the inscription are figures of Saint George carved in relief.
The church received Grade: II* listed building status on 10th. May 1961. (English Heritage Legacy ID: 228672).

"The New Town is a central area of Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. A masterpiece of city planning, it was built in stages between 1767 and around 1850, and retains much of its original neo-classical and Georgian period architecture. Its best known street is Princes Street, facing Edinburgh Castle and the Old Town across the geological depression of the former Nor Loch. Together with the Old Town, the New Town was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995.
Edinburgh (/ˈɛdɪnbərə/; Scots: Edinburgh; Scottish Gaelic: Dùn Èideann [ˈt̪uːn ˈeːtʲən̪ˠ]) is the capital of Scotland and one of its 32 council areas. Historically part of the county of Midlothian (interchangeably Edinburghshire before 1921), it is located in Lothian on the Firth of Forth's southern shore.
Recognised as the capital of Scotland since at least the 15th century, Edinburgh is the seat of the Scottish Government, the Scottish Parliament and the supreme courts of Scotland. The city's Palace of Holyroodhouse is the official residence of the monarch in Scotland. The city has long been a centre of education, particularly in the fields of medicine, Scots law, literature, philosophy, the sciences and engineering. It is the second largest financial centre in the United Kingdom (after London) and the city's historical and cultural attractions have made it the United Kingdom's second most visited tourist destination attracting 4.9 million visits including 2.4 million from overseas in 2018.
Edinburgh is Scotland's second most populous city and the seventh most populous in the United Kingdom. The official population estimates are 488,050 (2016) for the Locality of Edinburgh (Edinburgh pre 1975 regionalisation plus Currie and Balerno), 518,500 (2018) for the City of Edinburgh, and 1,339,380 (2014) for the city region. Edinburgh lies at the heart of the Edinburgh and South East Scotland city region comprising East Lothian, Edinburgh, Fife, Midlothian, Scottish Borders and West Lothian.
The city is the annual venue of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. It is home to national institutions such as the National Museum of Scotland, the National Library of Scotland and the Scottish National Gallery. The University of Edinburgh, founded in 1582 and now one of four in the city, is placed 20th in the QS World University Rankings for 2020. The city is also known for the Edinburgh International Festival and the Fringe, the latter being the world's largest annual international arts festival. Historic sites in Edinburgh include Edinburgh Castle, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the churches of St. Giles, Greyfriars and the Canongate, and the extensive Georgian New Town built in the 18th/19th centuries. Edinburgh's Old Town and New Town together are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, which has been managed by Edinburgh World Heritage since 1999." - info from Wikipedia.

Constructed between 1888 and 1897, the Library of Congress is located in Washington, D.C. at the intersection of 1st St. and Independance Avenue. It's beautiful, large-scale building is comprised mainly of marble, granite, iron, and bronze. The Library's architectural style is reminiscent of that of ancient Greece. It's typical Greek characteristics include columns of the Ionic order, relief sculpture, and statues of Greek god figures, such as Poseidon, god of the sea. These attributes are significantly comparable to those of the altar of Pergamon located in present day Turkey. Housing thousands of books, music, and art collections, the Library of Congress contains numerous reading rooms used by the public people. It is not restricted to use by special officials, but welcomes everybody as it was constructed specifically to serve as the American national library. Italian Renaissance designed bt J.L. Smithmeyer and P.J. Pelz.

The pont de Bir-Hakeim, formerly the pont de Passy, is a bridge that crosses the Seine River in Paris, France. It connects the city's 15th and 16th arrondissements, and passes through the île aux Cygnes.
The bridge, made of steel, is the second to have stood at the site. It was constructed between 1903 and 1905, replacing an earlier bridge that had been erected in 1878. An arch bridge, it is 237 metres (777 ft) long and 24.7 metres (81 ft) wide.
The bridge has two levels: one for motor vehicles and pedestrians, and a viaduct (the "viaduc de Passy") above, through which passes Line 6 of the Paris Métro. The railway viaduct is supported by metal colonnades, except where it passes over the île aux Cygnes, where it rests on a masonry arch.
Originally named the pont de Passy (after the former commune of Passy, which it reaches), it was renamed in 1948 to commemorate the Battle of Bir Hakeim, fought by Free French forces against the German Afrika Korps in 1942.
Many movies have featured this bridge including Rififi, Ascenseur pour l'échafaud, Zazie dans le Métro, Last Tango in Paris, National Treasure: Book of Secrets, and Inception.
