One of the oldest operating lighthouses in the World, the tower was built in the 13th century by William Marshall, Earl of Pembrokeshire and has operated as a lighthouse for 800 years.

Sandy Hook Lighthouse
The Sandy Hook Lighthouse, located about one and a half statute miles (2.4 km) inland from the tip of Sandy Hook, New Jersey, is the oldest working lighthouse in the United States. It was designed and built in 1764 by Isaac Conro.
The light was built to aid mariners entering the southern end of the New York harbor. It was originally called New York Lighthouse because it was funded through a New York Assembly lottery and a tax on all ships entering the Port of New York. Sandy Hook Light has endured an attempt to destroy it (as an aid to British navigation) by artillery Captain Alexander Hamilton,[citation needed] and a subsequent occupancy of British soldiers during the Revolutionary War. Perhaps most impressively, it has endured exposure to the elements on the end of Sandy Hook. The view of the New York skyline from the bridge crossing into "the Hook" illustrates the importance this light played in the history of New York harbor. During summer weekends, the New Jersey Lighthouse Society offers free tours every half hour from 12:00 p.m. until 4:30 p.m.
When the lighthouse was built in 1764, it stood only 500 feet (150 m) from the tip of Sandy Hook; however, today, due to growth caused by littoral drift, it is almost one and a half miles (2.4 km) inland from the tip. Sandy Hook Lighthouse is part of the Sandy Hook Unit of Gateway National Recreation Area. The Sandy Hook Lighthouse was restored in spring 2000.

Sandy Hook Lighthouse is located within the fort grounds, as is the Marine Academy of Science and Technology (MAST), a magnet high school, part of the Monmouth County Vocational School District. At the entrance to Fort Hancock is Guardian Park, a plaza dominated by two Nike missiles. Some of the buildings of Fort Hancock are off-limits because their structural integrity is dubious. A controversial proposal was recently accepted to allow adaptive reuse of some of the buildings in Fort Hancock for private profit.

St Peter's church in Hook Norton is a fine medieval building, Norman in origin (traces remain visible in the chancel) but in appearance belonging mostly to the later Middle Ages with a spacious late 14th century nave and a stately pinnacled Perpendicular west tower from c1500.
The interior is flooded with light, thanks to minimal use of stained glass and white-rendered walls, though we are reminded how different the original effect would have been by the fragmentary 15th century mural over the chancel arch where a pair of angels and male saints (very rustic work) can be seen against a red ground, no doubt originally supporting figures formerly flanking the carved crucifixion group of of the lost rood screen.
The stained glass in the east window is Victorian and nothing special, but that in the south aisle is a far more inspiring piece, a late work by the studio of Morris & Co serving as a WWI memorial.
The most important artefact in the church however is the 11th century font, a cylindrical drum carved with figures in relief, coarse in quality but fascinating in subject, with a group of Adam & Eve with the Tree of Knowledge, followed by several rather pagan-looking figures from the zodiac.

One of these is stamped with the factory address and the statement it is for use with Readicut "Twilight" wools.
Hook turn intersections are designated by "right turn from left only" signs hanging above the intersection on the cables that hold up the trams' power lines. They also appear on the "safety zone" signs. I'm not sure why the "keep left" arrow is cut out: perhaps it helps tram drivers see if anyone is standing at the tram stop.
Why do we have hook turns? Because if cars waited on the tram tracks to turn right, they'd cause unecessary delays. And we can't build additional lanes without imploding tall buildings. Which, you know.. would be cool and all, but I don't think the people inside would be too happy.
This solid brass coat hook comes from an "old federal building", according to the label on the back.
Being in Chicago, this likely means it originally hung somewhere in Henry Ives Cobb's Chicago Federal Building, demolished in 1965. I imagine dozens of them, lining the hallway of the judges' chambers... or in a cloak room off the lobby. Who knows.
I love the worn patina, the little voids and spots where the molten metal didn't quite fill, and the overall size and heft; it juts out 4" from the base, and stands nearly 5.5" tall. Feels like it's around a pound.
I hope to one day reproduce these in brass - maybe also a darkened bronze. It'd make a killer bathrobe hook, and I could even imagine a row of them, lined up on an exposed brick wall in a garage or barn.
It's a simple, utilitarian design that neither Melissa nor I have seen before. That's saying something, as we've looked at a lot of old hardware. At $25, we just couldn't pass up.
