Morning light on the pre-Victorian Meanwood Institute. I read that they have two snooker tables made in 1885.
Three pieces of carving from antiquity, about which not a great deal is known. This is a fragment of a stone relief from 5th century Persepolis, only a few inches high.

This sandstone building with rendered window and door trim, quoins and highly decorative parapet
was constructed in 1904 as an Institute Building and is now used as a private residence. The highly
decorative parapet features decorative pilasters and balustrading with elaborate mouldings. The front
of the building has been altered, wit the entry closed in with a sandstone and glass block porch.
The Institute was constructed after a public campaign to erect a building in which to hold meetings
and public gatherings in the Wayville area. Land was purchased from the SA Company and the hall
and attached room was opened in December 1904. Ownership of the building was transferred to
Unley Council in 1929, and the property is now privately owned.

Repurposed as the Neighbourhood centre is this lovely Mechanics Institute building in the small town of Ballan, near Ballarat. There is an interesting iron sculpture outside the front. I liked the modern signage and solar panels contrasting with the older building sign. Mechanics Insitutes were forerunners of the modern public library plus had skill development /learning as their major purpose. Happy Window Wednesday.

"The Curlwaa Mechanics’ Institute was opened in the early 1900s. The Mechanics’ Institute term was dropped fairly early and it was generally known as the Curlwaa Hall. After the Second World War the original outdoor WW I monument was dismantled, as it had become a traffic hazard. The hall had become quite rundown and was renovated to become the Curlwaa Memorial Hall, which was officially opened in 1958. Panels were mounted either side of the main door recording the names of those who had died in the First and Second World Wars respectively. The original Honour Rolls recording all who had served were retained in the Hall."

“The Crowning with Thorns” In 1975, when I was an art student at Pratt Institute, I took a printmaking class. My failed attempts at etching has already been posted. Here is the only lithograph I ever did. Luckily we used a metal plate and not stone. I’m not THAT old. I liked lithography better than etching because it was more like drawing with pencil. But, you still couldn’t rework, erase, etc. And it was just too much work. Finding these old pieces of mine are bringing back a lot of memories during this continuing lockdown from the coronavirus.

The Russell Institute is a building in Paisley, Scotland.
The building was generously donated by Agnes Russell to the Burgh of Paisley as a memorial to her two brothers, Thomas and Robert Russell, who passed away in 1913 and 1920 respectively. Initially, it served as a child welfare clinic, but today, Renfrewshire Council utilizes it as a multi purpose facility.

"The original Leongatha Mechanics' Institute was erected on the Memorial Hall site in 1891. The present building, consisting of two large rooms and a billiard saloon, was opened by The Hon J.E. Mackey on 26 March 1912. It functioned as a library, meeting room and billiard room until 1982. The Leongatha and District Historical Society was given the use of the building by the Shire of Woorayl in 1983."

"Beneath the commonwealth, there is a cancer known as the institute. A malignant growth which must be cut, before it affects the surface. They are experimenting with dangerous technologies, and could prove to be the worlds undoing a second time."
The Working Lads Institute on Whitechapel Road held some of the inquests into the Whitechapel Murders.

R&D Center A&B - the LEGO inspired box art parody (not a real set. sorry folks)
"The word of the Muad'Dib will penetrate deep within their hearts... one way or another..."
Built for the Burgomeister "R&D Lab" category of DA4, supporting General Farok. The embedded image in the comments meets the A&B criteria of designing LEGO inspired box art.
The research and development lab staff include:
- Master Administrator (main floor); oversees the overall running of the research institute, as well as the data analytics.
- Master of Chemistry (top floor); leads research in spice production, refinement, and weaponized usages. Controls the refining column that rises through the building.
- Master of Resources (in vehicle); procures all resources needed by the lab. Also the primary driver of the desert track ATV stored in the bottom level. The grand staircase in front of the building lifts up for the vehicle to pass through.
- Master of Arms (bottom level); tests all weapons for combat worthiness.
- Master of Communications (bottom level with headset); researches sonic weapons, specifically attuned to the "weirding way".
