Golders Green Ionic, London
A scanned slide from circa 1975
Circa 1810 incorporating earlier fabric and later alterations by Robert Reid. Painted ashlar hotel comprising principal section dominated by large Ionic Venetian window; 3-bay 18th century tenement to right linked by continuous balustraded parapet; 6-bay, former tenement with wallhead nepus gable to left. Principal section: pilasters divide bays at ground floor. Venetian style window with Ionic-columned mullions and jambs (flanked by rectangular-headed niches with polychrome Black Watch figures) surmounted by large round-arched fanlight flanked by roundel panels. Balustraded parapet continuing to 18th century tenement block to right (partly remodelled mid 19th century). 3-bay, 4-storey smooth rendered with lugged architraves and consoles to windows; pilastered and corniced doorpiece to left of centre.
The Salutation Hotel is one of Perth's most distinctive commercial buildings. Its monumental Venetian window at 1st floor fronting the Adam style restaurant room adds greatly to the interest of the streetscape and provides an eye-catching terminus to the view along St John Street, giving the impression of a triumphal arch forming part of a larger palatial scheme. The distinctive painted Black Watch figures also add much to the character of this notable building.
The earliest building recorded on this site was a private house belonging to the Murray family. It operated as a coaching inn between 1699 to 1745 and was a principal resting point on the coach roads from Edinburgh and Glasgow to Aberdeen and Inverness. The current street elevation was constructed in the early 19th century, at which time the Venetian window was added by Sir Robert Reid, the King's architect in Scotland. The much revised interior is particularly notable for the Adam style Dining Room with fine vaulted ceiling and the moulded fireplace dated 1699 in room No 20. The building lays claim to being the oldest established hotel in Scotland and has expanded to occupy three neighbouring tenements, one to the right and two to the left.

The most important addition to Villa Borghese was a Ionic temple on an islet in an artificial pond; the whole complex was surrounded by rocks and caves and it was accessed through serpentine walks. This setting was modified by the Borghese in 1823 and by the Italian State after the acquisition of the villa.
Il tempio di Esculapio è sito nell'isolotto artificiale del lago sito nel Giardino del Lago a Villa Borghese (Roma).Trattasi di un tempietto in stile ionico realizzato nel 1786 da Antonio e Mario Asprucci e da Cristoforo Unterperger.Consta di un portico con 4 capitelli ionici che sorreggono un frontone triangolare.Fra il frontone e le colonne vi è una scritta in greco [Ασκληπιωι Σωτηρι (pronuncia: Asclepioi Soteri)].
Sul tetto vi sono varie statue ellenistiche.Dietro il portico vi è l'edicoletta con la statua di Esculapio.
Villa Borghese is a large landscape garden in the naturalistic English manner in Rome, containing a number of buildings, museums and attractions. It is the second largest public park in Rome (80 hectares or 148 acres) after that of the Villa Doria Pamphili. The gardens were developed for the Villa Borghese Pinciana ("Borghese villa on the Pincian Hill"), built by the architect Flaminio Ponzio, developing sketches by Scipione Borghese, who used it as a villa suburbana, a party villa, at the edge of Rome, and to house his art collection. The gardens as they are now were remade in the early nineteenth century.
In 1605, Cardinal Scipione Borghese, nephew of Pope Paul V and patron of Bernini, began turning this former vineyard into the most extensive gardens built in Rome since Antiquity. The vineyard's site is identified with the gardens of Lucullus, the most famous in the late Roman republic. In the 19th century much of the garden's former formality was remade as a landscape garden in the English taste. The Villa Borghese gardens were long informally open, but were bought by the commune of Rome and given to the public in 1903. The large landscape park in the English taste contains several villas. The Spanish Steps lead up to this park, and there is another entrance at the Porte del Popolo by Piazza del Popolo. The Pincio (the Pincian Hill of ancient Rome), in the south part of the park, offers one of the greatest views over Rome.
Villa Borghese è un grande parco della città di Roma che comprende sistemazioni a verde di diverso tipo, dal giardino all'italiana alle ampie aree di stile inglese, edifici, piccoli fabbricati, fontane e laghetti.
È il terzo più grande parco pubblico a Roma (circa 80 ettari), dopo Villa Doria-Pamphili e Villa Ada e si estende in gran parte sul quartiere Pinciano e in piccola parte sul rione Campo Marzio, divisi dalle Mura aureliane.
Il nucleo della tenuta era già di proprietà dei Borghese nel 1580, sul sito nel quale è stata identificata anche la posizione dei Giardini di Lucullo (o horti luculliani).
Il possedimento fu ampliato con una serie di acquisti e acquisizioni dal cardinale Scipione Borghese, nipote di papa Paolo V e futuro patrono di Gianlorenzo Bernini, con l'intento di crearvi una "villa di delizie" e il più vasto giardino costruito a Roma dall'antichità. Nel 1606 la realizzazione degli edifici fu affidata dal cardinale agli architetti Flaminio Ponzio e, dopo la morte del predecessore, a Giovanni Vasanzio (Jan van Santen); gli architetti furono affiancati dal giardiniere Domenico Savini da Montelpulciano e dall'intervento anche altri artisti, quali Pietro e Gianlorenzo Bernini. La villa era completata nel 1633.
Nel 1766 lavori di trasformazione furono intrapresi dal principe Marcantonio IV Colonna, nel "Casino nobile" (ora sede della Galleria Borghese) e nel "Casino dei giuochi d'acqua" (attuale "Aranciera" e sede del Museo Carlo Bilotti), e soprattutto nel parco, con la sistemazione del "Giardino del lago", ad opera degli architetti Antonio e Mario Asprucci. Tutto il giardino venne ornato di fontane e piccole fabbriche che permettevano di godere di scorci prospettici suggestivi.
Agli inizi del XIX secolo la villa venne ulteriormente ampliata da Camillo Borghese con l'acquisto di terreni verso Porta del Popolo e Porta Pinciana, che furono integrati alla villa con l'intervento dell'architetto Luigi Canina. Nel corso del secolo gran parte della precedente giardino formale fu trasformato in giardino di paesaggio di gusto inglese. Durante tutto il secolo i giardini furono aperti per il passeggio festivo e vi erano ospitate feste popolari con canti e balli.
Il complesso fu acquistato dallo Stato italiano nel 1901 e ceduto al comune di Roma nel 1903 per essere stabilmente aperto al pubblico, mentre iniziava la lottizzazione della confinante Villa Ludovisi sui cui terreni stava sorgendo l'omonimo quartiere. La villa fu acquistata per 3 milioni di lire dell'epoca (equivalenti a circa 10 milioni di euro attuali), e denominata ufficialmente "Villa comunale Umberto I già Borghese". I romani non smisero mai di chiamarla Villa Borghese.
Il grande parco contiene diversi edifici ed ha 9 ingressi: tra i più frequentati quello di Porta Pinciana, quello dalla scalinata di Trinità dei Monti, quello dalle rampe del Pincio a piazza del Popolo e l'ingresso monumentale di Piazzale Flaminio. Il "giardino del Pincio" (corrispondente al colle Pincio), nella parte sud del parco, offre un noto panorama su Roma.
L'edificio della villa ("Villa Borghese Pinciana"), oggi sede della Galleria Borghese, fu costruita dall'architetto Flaminio Ponzio, che sviluppò gli schizzi di Scipione Borghese. Ora è la sede della Galleria Borghese. Alla morte di Ponzio, i lavori furono terminati dal fiammingo Giovanni Vasanzio. L'edificio fu destinato da Camillo Borghese a contenere le sculture di Bernini, tra cui il David e Apollo e Dafne, e di Antonio Canova (Paolina Borghese) nonché le pitture di Tiziano, Raffaello e del Caravaggio.
Contigua a Villa Borghese, ma oggi fuori dal perimetro vero e proprio del parco, ai piedi del colle, è Villa Giulia, costruita nel 1551 - 1555 come residenza estiva per papa Giulio III, che ora ospita il Museo nazionale etrusco. Era legata a Villa Borghese anche Villa Medici, sede dell'Accademia francese a Roma. Altri edifici sparsi nei giardini di Villa Borghese, su viale delle Belle Arti, sono stati edificati in occasione della Esposizione internazionale tenutasi a Roma nel 1911 per festeggiare il primo cinquantenario dell'Unità d'Italia. La Galleria nazionale d'arte moderna risale a questo periodo.
La villa ospita anche lo zoo di Roma trasformato recentemente in bioparco ed il Museo civico di zoologia, mentre la "Casina delle Rose" è oggi la sede della Casa del Cinema. Nei pressi di quest'ultima si trova il Cinema dei Piccoli, la sala cinematografica più piccola al mondo.
È sede del concorso ippico Piazza di Siena, giunto nel 2009 alla 77ma edizione.
Nel 2003 è stato inaugurato il Silvano Toti Globe Theatre, una ricostruzione del Globe Theatre di Shakespeare a Londra.

Flickr member CLYDEBRAE wrote this about sister ship the Bardic Ferry...
Delivered in 1957 to the Atlantic Steam Navigation Co Ltd, this was a strategically important new building. Fifty years on and much of our trade is by roll on roll off ferry and we are used to seeing foreign trucks trundling up and down our motorways. This vessel was hailed as the first ro-ro vessel to be built in the UK. There had been earlier examples able to carry a limited number of vehicles and the Landing Ship Tank conversions of ASN proved a demand. This vessel was a hybrid - the vehicle deck was accessed by a stern door, as illustrated here. This deck extended below and forward of the accommodation to the collision bulkhead. The weather deck, with containers on deck shown here, was entirely lift on lift off with no ramp access to the vehicle deck. A 20 ton deck crane was fitted on deck capable of slewing through 360 degrees at a radius of 40ft - giving an outreach of 12ft 6ins beyond ships side. It is reported the vessel was built with Ministry of Defence requirements in mind, including the ability to carry tanks on her vehicle deck. Capable of carrying 15 first class and 38 second class passengers within Home Trade limits, she was also classed for Middle Trades to the Baltic and Mediterranean but as a cargo vessel limited to 12 passengers. Plans of the vessel hint at her possible military role - two of the second class cabins having alternative uses as an operating theatre and hospital. These were the only two passenger cabins on the Promenade Deck, placed immediately forward of the Second Class Lounge which no doubt would have been converted to hold casualties, in case of need. Built before the era of bow thrust units, she was equipped with a bow rudder but needed tug assistance in Preston. In today's world of short sea crossings and fast turnrounds her schedule was leisurely and tidally dependent. Light draughted there were still occasions when poor neap tides imposed restrictions. At 12ft 8ins her draught would have been similar to the vessel loading coal in the next photograph even though the latter looks much smaller. Within a couple of years the Preston by-pass opened and our motorway network rapidly expanded. As with the railways a century before, an established motorway network favoured the short sea route and transfer of the service to Cairnryan, close to Stranraer, in 1974 allowed a much reduced passage time and more intensive use of this ship and its successors.
Both she and her sister, Ionic Ferry delivered in 1958, did pretty well, lasting for 30 years. Both were sold in 1976, the Bardic Ferry being renamed Nasim II and the Ionic Ferry the Kamasin and later Tamerlane. Both ships ended their days within months of each other at Turkish shipbreakers in Aliaga. The Bardic Ferry in November 1988 and the Ionic Ferry a little earlier, in April of the same year.

The Celtic Cross , or Ionic Cross, date back as much as 5,000 years before Christ’s birth, and are considered to be a variation on “sun crosses,” an old symbol that honored the pagan thunder god Taranis.

The Greek Room was dedicated in 1941 and based on a 5th-century temple during the Ancient Greece's Golden Age. Upon entering the room one is immediately captivated by several Ionic columns, which have been set back from the wall and window to create a sense of a colonnade that is so iconic in classical Greek architecture. The columns have been carved using the same marble stone used in the Pantheon in Athens. Throughout the rooms are motifs of traditional Greek keys and the egg-and-dart patterns. The impressive painted and plastered ceiling is based on that found in the Acropolis. The professor's and the guests' chairs are carved with the names of Ancient Greek philosophers Aristotle, Plato and Socrates, whereas the students' chairs bear the names of Greek islands and towns.

The Nationality Rooms are located in the University of Pittsburgh's Cathedral of Learning building. The rooms are gifts to the university from Pittsburgh's ethnic communities. Each room has been designed to represent the culture of the nation represented. The rooms function as university classrooms and are not open all the time for the public to explore particularly during school terms. Visitors are advised to contact the University for opening times and guided tours.

If you have a good memory, you may remember the Corinthian column I made some time ago. I got a lot of good comments on that one (thank you!), and I wanted to build some more... stuff.
If you have a perfect memory, you may remember that I said the Ionic column was hard to do because of its spirals (volutes, if you prefer fancy terms). I did have a go at designing one however, but I began to think the spirals were impossible to do. And if you don't get those right, your column is not right.
If you have a good eyesight, you may have noticed that I'm presenting now an Ionic column nontheless. What happened? Some would call it a miracle, some just inspiration. I found the Indiana Jones whip.
Once I had my spiral (the only spirally part in LEGO, I believe), the column flowed onto my LDD screen. At almost the first try, I had something I was happy with.
And that's what you see in front of you. Before anyone asks: the column should be buildable in real life. I know the whips aren't available in white, but everything else apart form the One Rings I used, is available in white (now even the croissant!). Furthermore, I believe the column's quite stable. It uses the same technique that I learned from Jamie, in the designer video on the LEGO Creator website. This is my tribute to that video, because it made me want to make columns. And I've come a long way.
So I hope you enjoy this Ionic column in minifig scale. And I looked it up for you: this is the first one in LEGO to appear on the internet.
