The Pierre Bremond House is one of the 11 houses built between 1859 and 1910 that make up the Bremond Block Historic District. The block was added to National Register of Historic Places in 1970, and is considered one of the few remaining upper-class Victorian neighborhoods of the middle to late nineteenth century in Texas. Six of the eleven houses were built or expanded for members of the families of brothers Eugene and John Bremond, who were prominent in late-nineteenth-century Austin social, merchandising, and banking circles. Of these six residences, all but one were designed and built by the Austin contractor, George Fiegel.
The Pierre Bremond House sits in the center of the 400 block of W. Seventh St. between the John Bremond, Jr. House on its east side, and the Eugene Bremond House, the house of Pierre's father, on its west side. Built in 1898, the two-story, tan brick house was the last Bremond house to be built. It is a subdued late Victorian with a low-pitched hip roof, a double gallery, and an unobtrusive tower on the west side.
While the Pierre Bremond House may be the least ornate of all the houses, Pierre's home was the most spacious. Renovated in 2012, the house is currently owned by the Texas Classroom Teachers Association, who also own the John Bremond, Jr. home next door that serves as the association headquarters.

In April 2013, the Scottish Sikh community took a momentous in the opening of Scotland’s first purpose-built Sikh Gurdwara. After 51 years in the previous Gurdwara, this was both an emotional and exciting time for the whole community. The new Gurdwara is situated on 37 Albert Drive and will serve as the new home for the Sikh community of Glasgow.
The project
The land was purchased in the early 2000’s at the site of a disused Network Rail tram depot. The building was designed by local architects CRGP and the contractor was Govan-based CBC. The total project came in under budget, with a final cost price of £3.8m, all of which was fundraised by the community.
The Gurdwara
The new Gurdwara is located adjacent to the Tramway Theatre in Glasgow, and neighbours the Hidden Gardens. The site has a sizeable off-street car park, which can hold over 100 cars. The Sikh Gurdwara is accessed through a special gateway, and has the capacity to accommodate 1,500 worshippers.
Contractors working on the new Mississippi River Bridge at Lansing Iowa imploded the center and east spans of the old Black Hawk Bridge on December 19th, 2025, severing the 94-year connection of this classic truss structure. The bridge was originally to remain open while it's replacement was completed, but issues with too much movement of the old bridge while the new was being constructed nearby meant that it was closed a couple years earlier than originally intended.
The classic bridge has long been an interesting experience to cross for generations of area residents, and a neat bridge to photograph. Since it's demise was well-publicized, on a recent trip to La Crosse in early December I took the "long way 'round" and got a chance to see it one last time. Conveniently I arrived town right as a CPKC train 883 did - coal loads for the Portage, WI power plant, with the rear DPU seen shoving under the west span. The bridge has been a great prop and occasional photo platform for lots of railroad photographers over the years.
Some "drop under" sunlight on a crisp winter morning helped to light up the old bridge nicely. Out on the water, the barge pushing away from the camera is a construction barge, but the small one in the center right coming towards us is the temporary car ferry the DOT is utilizing as a replacement for the bridge. It's free and runs roughly every half hour in each direction - if you are in the area I highly recommend taking a ride across sometime in the next year or so as the new bridge takes shape above it's path. And there aren't many chances to ride on the upper Mississippi River for free!
When the bridge was imploded, they left the west span and will remove that with more typical methods because it spans the railroad and is near houses. The new bridge is starting to take shape behind the pier seen in this photo, and will have a similar truss look to the old structure (the result of a big push by the local community that actually influenced the DOT to change the design from a more standard arch bridge type early on in their planning). But since it won't have a deck of open-grate metal you could see down through, nor the suddenly vertical break-over on either side of the main center arch span that gave one a bit of a jolt when driving over it, the new bridge will likely lack a bit of the "character" of the old.

It must be Spring as nests are popping up all over. This Great White Egret is bringing a finely selected stick back with him. I wonder if that is for the Living room or one of the Bedrooms...

The MJRX SD18 No. 7314 sits outside of the Railway Service Contractors, Inc. shops in Kansas City, KS. It's been released, and in the coming days, it'll be interchanged to the UP, eventually making its way to a grain elevator in Mead, NE.
Though it's not currently wearing the flashiest paint scheme ever, the SD18 is a rare bird. Out of the 114 that were, only 54 were for American railroads while the other 60 were for export.
This engine was built 60 years ago for the Chesapeake & Ohio as the CO No. 1814. It later became the CO No. 7314 and repainted in Chessie System colors before being sold to the Tennessee Southern Railroad.
The Indiana Railroad acquired it, and it was once again sold to North Iowa Rail Holdings as the IBCX No. 7314 and leased to the Iowa Northwestern as the IANW No. 7314, all the while keeping its INRD paint.
It's most recently been used as a switcher at grain elevators, being used by Debruce Grain at Catoosa, OK and Gavilon Grain in Wichita, KS. Gavilon traded this to Railway Service Contractors last year for an SD40T-2. When this arrived here, it still wore its weathered INRD paint. 2/5/23.
MJRX GP30M 813, built as C&O GP30 3046 and painted for Dakota City Organic, sits outside of the Railway Service Contractors facility in fresh paint on a rainy Easter afternoon.

Ok, So I've had this Fuji X100F for a couple of weeks now and can't make up my mind if I love it or hate it. On the plus side it's small, mirrorless and inconspicuous, meaning I can get away with a bit more street photography without being glared at!
However, the ergonomics of the camera are painful. The grip if far to small, and as a result it's easy to accidentally knock one of the four buttons on the command dial. I've disabled two of them, but it's impossible to disable the "drive" button. As a result today I managed to knock the camera into "filters" mode without realizing it and spent 10 minutes trying to work out what I'd done. Somehow it also switch from raw mode to jpg mode at the same time which I didn't realize until I got home, at which point I gave the camera a stream of four letter words.
Another ruthless killer.
Have a great time guys.Thank you for visit.

The article below originated from:
Traditional Building Magazine
Updated: Jan 6, 2020
Original: Feb 2, 2016
Originally built in 1916, the Palm Beach courthouse was a tour de force of Neoclassical architecture. The architect Wilber Burt Talley designed a granite base, brick and stone façades, soaring Indiana limestone columns and Corinthian capitals that held up triangle pediments, and a dentil molding below the cornice. The four-story, 40,000-sq.ft. the building housed the county government offices and records, as well as the jail.
Almost immediately the courthouse ran out of space, and 11 years later an addition was constructed 25 feet to the east. Talley again served as the courthouse architect, and the 1927 addition was similar in appearance and used many of the same materials as the original building. In 1955, the two buildings were connected with usable rooms to accommodate the growing county.
Yet another addition was required in the late ’60s; it was completed in 1969. The architecture firm Edge & Powell delivered a brick building that nearly doubled the square footage to 180,000 sq. ft. This time, the addition was less than sympathetic. In fact, the 1916 and 1927 buildings were lost in the center of the new construction, which wrapped around them completely.
The building was utilized for 36 years in this configuration, until 1995, when a new courthouse opened across the street. Expansions had plagued the 1916 courthouse almost as soon as it was built, and this was no exception. “After the new courthouse opened, the old one was slated for demolition,” says Rick Gonzales, Jr., AIA, CEO and principal at REG Architects. “Since I knew about the 1916 courthouse, I recognized the potential of the site and got in touch with preservation specialists in the area. It took some time, but a group of us eventually convinced the county to fund a feasibility study, which we conducted in 2002.”
Gonzales talks about stimulating interest in the project: “We would go to the new courthouse to sell our idea and walk people up to the windows to look at the old site,” he says.
“‘Believe it or not, there’s a building inside that building,’ I’d say. That really piqued people’s interest.”
The county agreed to fund the project, and demolition of the additions began in January 2004 and was completed two years later. “It took a long time because it was a selective demolition,” says Gonzales. “We needed to be careful to salvage many of the materials from the 1927 building to use in the restoration of the 1916 structure. It resembled the original, so we took everything we could for reuse.” A number of materials were recovered, including limestone, granite, wood windows, doors, marble wainscot, mosaic floor tiles, wood flooring, trim, and hardware.
While a majority of the materials were the same from building to building, the detailing was not identical. “We were working from the drawings of the 1927 building because we couldn’t find drawings for the earlier structure,” says Gonzales. “We had thought the detailing was the same, but when we put our studies together we saw that the rhythm, proportion, and cornices were different.”
When REG Architects couldn’t apply the 1927 documentation to the restoration, the firm examined what was remaining of the building and the few images that had survived. “For a while, we had no cornice pieces, because all of the exterior ornamentations had been destroyed when the façades were smoothed for the addition,” says Gonzales. “Then a contractor found a 16-in. piece, which we used to re-create the cornice line.”
Other elements that needed to be re-created, such as the granite and limestone porticos on the north, south, and west façades, were designed using historic photographs. “We found limestone with the same vein from the same Indiana quarry that was originally used,” says Gonzales. “We were extremely lucky in that the quarry ran out of that vein right after our order.” REG Architects was also able to match the granite.
Many components of the building were salvaged and restored. The cornerstones were restored and placed in their original locations at the northwest corner. The 12 Corinthian capitals and the load-bearing limestone columns – each of which weighs 30,600 lbs. – were pieced back together and repaired. “Placement of the capitals was especially tedious,” says Gonzales, “because it needed to be precise. They were then secured with pegs and glue.”
On the north, south, and west elevations, the brick was restored and, when necessary, replaced. “We couldn’t locate replacement brick with the same hues as the existing brick hues,” says Gonzales, “so we hired artists to stain it so that it blended with the original brick.” On the east elevation, REG Architects specified new brick so the new façade clearly stood out from the old ones.
To the same point, new hurricane-proof wood windows were chosen for the east elevation, while REG Architects was careful to preserve as many old windows as possible on the other elevations. Hedrick Brothers repaired 76 original wood windows as well as the window hardware. “We found a local manufacturer, Coastal Millwork of Riviera Beach, FL, to get the original windows tested for hurricane-preparedness,” says Gonzales. “The company reinforced and laminated the windows, so we were able to reinstall them.”
The crowning achievement of the exterior work was the re-creation of an eagle crest on the west pediment.
Based on a small postcard and images of other eagle crests, Ontario, Canada-based Traditional Cut Stone designed the crest for Palm Beach. “They created a small scale model and then a full-scale model in clay,” says Gonzales. “The final piece, which took five months to produce, was hand-carved from five pieces of Indiana limestone.” Traditional Cut Stone was also responsible for all of the limestone work on the building. REG Architects based much of its interior design on the Desoto County Courthouse in Arcadia, FL, which was built by Talley in 1913.
“The dilemma about the interiors was that there was little archival material and few original photographs to give a precise vision for the interiors,” says Gonzales. “Emphasis was placed on trying to restore the character of the main courtroom and the main interior public spaces.” The main courtroom on the third and fourth floors was especially aided by the Desoto research. The millwork was re-created and the plaster ceiling and moldings, maple flooring, doors, and door hardware were restored. Replica lighting was fabricated.
Architectural elements in the corridors and staircases received similar treatment. Hendrick Brothers uncovered the original mosaic flooring and had it repaired. Only five percent of the tile needed to be replaced; in these cases, matching tile from the 1927 building was used. About 80 percent of the marble wainscoting was salvaged, while the other 20 percent was replaced with matching marble from the original quarry. Wood doors and door hardware were salvaged and reused.
All of the building code upgrades – including efficient HVAC, fire protection, and hurricane protection – were hidden as much as possible with historic finishes. The alley elevation provided an ADA-accessible entrance and space for elevators.
The newly restored Palm Beach County Court House now accommodates a museum for the historical society, as well as offices for the County’s Public Affairs Department and County Attorney. “People say this project was an alignment of the stars,” says Gonzales. “It was. We were lucky to have the opportunity to save this building, we worked with a lot of great people, and it turned out well. It was a great labor of love.” TB

Another element of the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket for Artemis II is poised for flight. Technicians joined the core stage March 23 with the stacked solid rocket boosters for the mission at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Teams with NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems Program and primary contractor Amentum used one of the five overhead cranes inside the spaceport’s Vehicle Assembly Building to lift the rocket stage from the facility’s transfer aisle to High Bay 3, where it was secured between the booster segments atop the launch tower.
In thi image, Artemis II Core Stage is lifted into High Bay 3 inside the Vehicle Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space Center on Sunday, March 23, 2025.
