During my walkabout in Road Town on Tortola of the British Virgin Islands, I found the "Fireproof".
The building was built around 1750-57. Because it was one of the buildings to survive the 1853 Road Town fire, it was called the "Fireproof".

Hat Works Museum - Stockport
The Hat Works is a museum in Stockport, Greater Manchester, England, which opened in 2000. Before that, smaller displays of hatting equipment were exhibited in Stockport Museum and in the former Battersby hat factory.
The building, Wellington Mill, was built as an early fireproof cotton spinning mill in 1830–1831 before becoming a hat works in the 1890s. It is a Grade II listed building on the A6, Wellington Road South, between the town centre and Stockport railway station.
The Museum states "This award winning visitor attraction offers two floors of interactive exhibits taking you on a journey through the history of Stockport's once thriving hatting industry.
At Hat Works visitors can step back in time and experience the world of hatting from its humble beginnings in the cottage industry to the mass production of the early 19th century when hat manufacturing was a thriving industry with over 100 hat factories and businesses in the area.
Hat Works houses a recreated hatting factory floor with a collection of over 20 fully restored working Victorian style machines, rescued from former local hat factories. There's also a tremendous collection of over 400 hats of which some 250 can be seen in thematic displays in our hat gallery."

The vision of businessman Guido Pfister and his son Charles, the Pfister opened in 1893 as a “Grand Hotel of the West” and a welcoming and luxurious meeting place. It surely succeeded on both fronts. It was the most lavish hotel of its time, constructed at a cost of over $1 million, with groundbreaking features such as fireproofing, electricity throughout the hotel and thermostat controls in every room
NRHP and Listed on The Historic Hotels of America
Listed Building Grade II
List Entry Number : 1194975
Date First Listed : 2 August 1982
Former mill, now student accommodation. c1800, steam-powered worsted factory, converted into cotton spinning factory by 1828. Heightened by 3 feet and re-roofed, probably c1830, with south-east lift tower added by 1877. Production ceased 1975, and converted into student accommodation 1988-89. Walls battered, of squared coursed sandstone, with slate roof. Of fireproof construction, with vaulted brick floors carried on cast-iron beams and columns, with original flagstones now replaced by concrete. Roof of timber spars and purlins between sectional cast-iron trusses. Rectangular plan alongside the Lancaster Canal, with coped gables, the cap of a ventilation shaft at the southern apex, and with a truncated chimney stack against the north gable. Re-entrant south-east corner filled by lift tower of darker-coloured stone. 5 main storeys, with basement storey and attic expressed on west side. The east facade, facing the canal, is of 10 bays, the left-hand bay belonging to the lift tower. An external iron fire escape, now non-functional, extends across the 2 right-hand bays. Plain ashlar frieze below the eaves, added when the roof was raised. The roof slope now contains C20 rooflights. The south gable wall contains windows to the lift tower, restored after demolition of adjoining buildings, with rusticated round-arched heads. The entrance is now through a Doric porch, added by Charles B Pearson Son & Partners (Architects) as part of the restoration. The west wall is also of 10 bays and has a central gabled round-arched loading door at attic level.
HISTORY: the worsted mill was built by Thomas Higgin & Co. Thomas was the second son of John Higgin Senior, Governor of the Castle. In 1828 it was recorded as a cotton mill owned by Burrow, Higgin & Co. In 1846 it was purchased by John Greg, who then owned Moor Lane Mill South (qv). In 1861 it was sold to Storey Brothers, who operated it until its closure. The original engine house occupied the north bay of the mill and rose through 4 storeys, and evidence found during conversion work suggested that the mill was designed from the outset to house a beam engine. The engine bay was floored over in 1929. Conversion work involved demolition of some later additions, provision of new emergency stairs in the north-east corner, a new hydraulic lift in the lift shaft, and sub-division into study bedrooms.

The Rookery was built in 1887–1888 by the architectural partnership of Daniel H. Burnham and John Wellborn Root, known as Burnham and Root. In the architectural boom that followed the Great Chicago Fire, architects in what would become known as the Chicago School of commercial architecture competed with each other to create the world's first true skyscrapers. By mixing modern building techniques, such as metal framing, fireproofing, elevators and plate glass, together with traditional ones, such as brick facades and elaborate ornamentation, Burnham and Root sought to create a bold architectural statement. At the same time, they intended their buildings to be commercially successful. This building is one of the few results of their partnership that is still standing.
Beginning in the early 20th century, the building underwent three major renovations. In the first, from 1905 to 1907, Frank Lloyd Wright was retained to remake the interior spaces. In keeping with contemporary tastes, Wright's design covered Root's elaborate wrought iron finishes with white carved Carrara marble surfaces. Nearing the peak of his fame, Wright's changes brought enhanced status to the building, making the Rookery one of the most sought after buildings in all of Chicago. Some of Wright's other changes included incorporating simplified ironwork and adding planters as well as light fixtures.

The Potter Building at Beekman Street and Park Row had an advanced fireproof construction when it was completed in 1886. Perhaps not coincidentally the New York World Building it replaced burned down in 1882.

The Greenhill Hotel, named after West Canadian Collieries' nearby Greenhill Mine, was another major construction project in the company-owned West Townsite. The builder was W. Pettifor of Calgary, using the fireproof hollow red clay blocks common in many WCC buildings of the time. After its completion in late 1921, the Greenhill was leased and opened in February 1922.
Although the hotel provided rooms for miners, its best rooms were reserved for wealthier clients and visiting WCC share-holders. As the newest establishment in town, the Greenhill Hotel was 'the' place to stay; guests have included Queen Maria of Romania and boxer 'Sugar' Ray Robinson. The bar on the main floor served miners and managers alike.
From Alberta Register of Historic Places:
The exterior is an eclectic mix of architectural styles popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Tudor Revival half-timbering, classical columns and a gambrel roof make this an unusual and engaging structure. Plan was originally U-shaped; now rectangular.
The building has the appearance of wood frame and stucco, but it is actually constructed of twelve-inch-thick hollow brick tile covered by stucco.
Three dormers, north elevation and one, south elevation. 2nd floor portico over main floor porch, east and west elevation, with wood pillars and decorative brackets, blustrade. North elevation pillared and projecting front is piece forming main entrance no longer in use.

The historic registry lists the building as a 1918 building, whereas the plaque suggests it wasn't completed until 1921
Ginza is a former swamp that was filled in in the 16th century. Ginza is named after the silver-coin mint established there in 1612, during the Edo period.[1]
There was a fire in 1872. It burnt down most of the area.[1] After the fires, the Meiji government designated the Ginza area as a "model of modernization." The government planned the construction of fireproof brick buildings, and larger, better streets connecting the Shimbashi Station and the foreign concession in Tsukiji, as well as to important government buildings. Designs for the area were provided by the Irish-born architect Thomas Waters;[1] the Bureau of Construction of the Ministry of Finance was in charge of construction. In the following year, a Western-style shopping promenade on the street from the Shinbashi bridge to the Kyōbashi bridge in the southwestern part of Chūō with two- and three-story Georgian brick buildings was completed.
"Bricktown" buildings were initially offered for sale, later they were leased, but the high rent meant that many remained unoccupied. Not only that but they were not adapted to the climate and its design contrasted the Japanese notion of a place to live in. That is to say, it was nice to look at, but not to live in. The new Ginza was not popular with foreigners, who were looking for a more Edo styled city. Isabella Bird visited in 1878 and in 1880 implied that Ginza was less like an Oriental city than like the outskirts of Chicago or Melbourne. Philip Terry, the English writer of tour guides, likened it to Broadway, and not in a positive sense.[2] Nevertheless, the area flourished as a symbol of "civilisation and enlightenment", thanks to the presence of newspapers and magazine companies, who led the trends of the day. The area was also known for its window displays, an example of modern marketing techniques. Everyone visited and so the custom of "killing time in Ginza" developed strongly between the two world wars.[2]
Most of these European-style buildings disappeared, but some older buildings still remain, most famously the Wakō building with the now-iconic Hattori Clock Tower. The building and clock tower were originally built by Kintarō Hattori, the founder of Seiko.
Its recent history has seen it as a prominent outpost of western luxury shops. Ginza is a popular destination on weekends, when the main north-south artery is closed to traffic. The traffic blockade began in the 1960s under governor Ryokichi Minobe.

Ocean Drive is known mostly for its Art Deco hotels and restaurants/bars, many of which have been prominently featured in numerous movies and media. Among the most popular is the 1935 Colony Hotel, known as the most photographed art deco hotel. Renovated as a boutique hotel, it has been featured in cameos in scores of movies and TV shows, including the series, Dexter.
The Colony Hotel in Miami Beach, located at 736 Ocean Drive, is a historic and iconic example of the city's Art Deco architecture, built in 1935 and designed by renowned architect Henry Hohauser.
Architectural and Design Significance
Art Deco Style: The hotel is considered one of the first "streamlined" buildings on Ocean Drive and a quintessential example of the tropical Art Deco style that revitalized Miami Beach after the 1926 hurricane.
Architectural Features: The three-story building features a symmetrical facade, bold geometric elements like the inverted "T" bearing the hotel's name, horizontal "eyebrow" overhangs above the windows for shade, and an iconic blue neon sign that illuminates the street at night.
Modern Amenities: When it opened, it was designed to be modern, offering then-forward-thinking amenities such as a private bathroom, telephone, and radio in every room, which was unusual for middle-class tourist hotels at the time.
Original Design: The architectural plans from 1935 included a fireproof basement with recreation areas and changing facilities, unusual for Miami Beach at the time.
Current Use: Today, guests mention dining at Montana's in the basement, describing it as a cool spot for brunch with an outdoor vibe.
So, while it's an older feature, the basement is still a part of the hotel's offerings.

The Henry B. Plant Museum is located in the south wing of Plant Hall on the University of Tampa’s campus, at 401 West Kennedy Boulevard. Plant Hall was formerly known as the Tampa Bay Hotel, which was a 500+ room resort hotel opened in 1891 by Henry B. Plant near the terminus of his rail line. The museum's exhibits focus onGilded Age tourism, the elite lifestyle of the hotel's guests,and the building's use during the Spanish–American War. It was designed by architect J.A. Wood who also created the old Hillsborough County Courthouse and the Oglethorpe Hotel.
The Tampa Bay Hotel was built by railroad magnate Henry B. Plant in 1888. The construction cost over 3 million dollars.[5] It was considered the premier hotel of the eight that Mr. Plant built to anchor his rail line. The hotel itself covers 6 acres (24,000 m2) and is a quarter-mile long. It was equipped with the first elevator ever installed in Florida. The elevator is still working today, making it one of the oldest continually operational elevators in the nation. The 511 rooms and suites were the first in Florida to have electric lights and telephones. Most rooms also included private bathrooms, complete with a full-size tub. The price for a room ranged from $5.00 to $15.00 a night at a time when the average hotel in Tampa charged $1.25 to $2.00. The poured-concrete, steel-reinforced structure of the building was advertised as fireproof.

Reverend Ziegler met Frank Lloyd Wright by chance on the boat bound for Europe in 1909. The struck up a conversation and a commission was the result. Since Mr. Wright was going to be traveling in Europe for a while, the plans were done by his colleagues back in Chicago. The design is based on the "Fireproof House for $5000" and definitely looks the part.
This is an example of Wright's "prairie house," utilizing open floor plans

The T-5 (left) or Sveta Pekhotnyij Tanky 1924 is a light infantry tank that was designed for the Tongorian Army. It is armed with a turreted 37mm gun that also has AT capabilities. Being a light tank it also has 20mm maximum armor on the hull while the turret is 25mm all around. However, the powerful 78hp engine provides a 32km/h maximum speed on road, but the off-road capabality of the tank is also great.
The SU-57 (middle) or Samokhodnayin ustanovu model 1924-57, like everything showcased here, is based on the T-5's chassis. Having more internal space, the tank has a dedicated loader now. Armor protection remained the same, however, the casemate, housing the 57mm AT gun (from the PA-23 medium tank) and a .30cal machinegun, has 30mm frontally.
Finally, the PA-5 medium tank (right), a modification of the orginal tank by Proryv Avto. The T-5 is a relatively large tank for a light tank, so it could remain the same size and didn't need to be larger for this project. Being a medium, it has better armor, 34mm on the front, 38mm on the driver's port and 28mm side and rear while the turret is 40mm all around. It houses a bigger, 47mm DP30 L/42 AT gun and .30cal machine gun coupled to it.
This increased weight (11.8 tons) called for an engine upgrade. The rear of the hull formed the engine room, separated from the fighting compartment by a fireproof bulkhead. The new engine is a 97 hp six-cylinder engine which is on the right of the engine compartment. A 200-litre fuel tank on the right, combined with a twenty litres reserve reservoir, gave a range of 150 kilometres or ten hours on a varied terrain.
If you have ay questions regarding these tanks, feel free to ask me.

Worcestershire Beacon, Malvern Hills, on the east side of Great Malvern, Worcestershire, England, United Kingdom. Date unknown, around the summer between 1987 to 1996.
About this photograph.
This is a firefighter. In those old days, there weren’t much women joining the fire brigade, or at least during those years I took the photos, there would be very few women starting to join up. So they were often simply called firemen. When more and more women joined up, the item was replaced with gender neutral item of firefighter.
This fireman is seen here in his light blue shirt, with sleeves rolled up, and not wearing his fireproof jacket. Nowadays, safety rules may be bit stricter, and they may be requested to keep their jackets on at all time, but in those days, the rules may be a bit lax. Besides, at that time the photo was taken, it was a very hot summer day, hence removing his jacket.
He is also seen wearing his yellow waterproof and possibility fireproof trousers, with his old fashion yellow fire helmet. Notice the lack of visor, where nowadays you would see on more modern helmets.
Additional: With special thanks to Mark Savage (www.flickr.com/photos/77356945@N06/) for pointing out that the black line on the helmet is like a rank insignia, the single line is the rank for Leading Firefighter.
The rectangle shaped device behind him, hanging from his shoulder, is a two-way handheld radio (or simply informally called a Walkie-talkie. For those of you who are of younger generation and more used to seeing radios being very small, that was how big a radio was in those days (c1980s) before technology improved.
He is holding one of those water guns, spraying water over the grass fire on the slope of the hill.
As I’ve lost my notes on where exactly this happened, I can’t remember much apart from that it happens somewhere to the south of the Worcestershire Beacon, and on the east slope. Behind him is parts of the town of Malvern.
The photograph was taken with a Minolta X-700 35mm SLR camera, and likely to be with a 80-200mm f4.5 zoom lens. I don’t remember which film, but it was most likely to be Kodak which tend to be my first choice. It could have been Afga which is my second choice, I simply buy whichever film depending on availability of stock at the local photographic shop.
The prints were scanned to the computer using Brother A3 multi-function printer/copier/scanner.
About the event.
I used to live in a block of three-floor apartments on the east side of the Worcestershire Beacon, with the front windows facing the hills. At that time, I decided on photography as a career, but haven’t decided on what field of photography I wanted to do. I decided not to do wedding photography, portrait photography, or similar, but was thinking of going into sports, action, photojournalism, or similar. But the problem is that during those days, in the United Kingdom, in 1985, we didn’t have those human rights laws giving us much rights simply because we’re disabled people.
I’m a deaf person with speech impairment. In my last year at school, I told the teacher, the career advisor and my mother that I wanted to get into college to study photography. But they were like saying “No, you can’t be a photographer because you’re deaf.” Nowadays, looking back on it, it’s purely discrimination, but like I said, at that time, there wasn’t much of laws, not until 1995. Despite my efforts to want to get into college to do photography, they managed to help get me a college course in graphic design, with an on-the-job training course at a professional photographer’s.
Sometimes between 1986 (the year I left school and started college) to 1996 (the year I moved out of the family home), I went to my bedroom window, and saw smoke coming from the side of the hills. It was a wildfire, but not like the ones you see in the news, happening in American and Australia, not like a full-blown out of control wildfire. Here, we had just simply grass fire on the hills.
Because I want to try my hand at photojournalism or action photography, I decided to take the chance to go and do some photography for the purpose of gaining experience. So I grabbed my Minolta X-700, and as I had to rush up the side of the hill, it helps if I bring only the 80-200mm zoom and as much rolls of film as I could carry. I hurriedly part-walked, part-jogged up the hill, rather than taking the long zigzag path to get there, I sometimes took a shortcut in a more direct straight line.
At this point of time, health and safety rules were still somewhat lax, and you would find those hillwalkers still around. People walking their dogs, people walking for exercise, and such, all while the firemen were busy doing their work. Nowadays, the police would march you off the hills and out of their way.
I stayed out of their way, and took some photos of them doing their firefighting work, trying to see how I feel about photojournalism, and building up experience. The photos of that event can be seen in the Firefighters on the Hills album here www.flickr.com/photos/132335712@N05/albums/72177720295786071
In 1996, I moved out of my family home which had the view of the hills. The new home I moved into, does not have a direct line of sight to the hills, and in those days, we didn’t have Twitter or anything like this, so I wouldn’t be aware of any grass fire on the hills. That’s why, considering I lost my notes, I can only be sure that this event happens between 1987 to 1996.

Built in 1897, by Charles Hoya (1848-1926), son of Prussian immigrant Joseph T. Van Der Hoya, and long-time Nacgodoches County surveyor. Designed by Houston architect Frank E. Rue in Victorian style with the Gothic revival details, this was the first fireproof building in Nacgodoches and served as a model for other local structures.
After Hoya's death, the land office business continued under the management of son-in-law J. Roy Gray, until his death in 1966.
