This beautiful home displays the Scamozzi's Ionic Greek Revival style. Mrs. Ida Wallis Elliott bought the original house and renovated it in 1926 to its present style. It features marble steps, marble porch floor in herringbone pattern, white brick walls, and one of only two indoor marble staircases in the City. The house was purchased by the Robbs family in the early 1960's. (source: Vern Scott Collection, Talladega Public Library)
The Elliott - Robbs House is located in the Silk Stockings District historic district. The Silk Stockings District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 13, 1979. Architectural styles include Queen Anne, Classical Revival, Colonial Revival, and other late Victorian types. The district covers 113 acres (46 ha) and contained 120 contributing properties when first listed.
Ionic capital from one of the corners of the great Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World.
The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus was one of the most famous buildings of the classical world, a grandiose royal tomb for the rulers of Caria. It was so famed for it's rich sculptural decoration and majestic pyramid-capped form that it became one of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World. Halicarnassus, capital of ancient Caria is present day Bodrum, a well known coastal resort in south west Turkey.
The tomb was built for King Mausolos after his death in 343BC by his sister-queen Artemisia who wished to use it to immortalise the Carian dynasty. Artemisia herself died only two years later and was buried alongside her king in the heart of the monument, which became known as the 'Mausoleum' after it's prime occupant, thus becoming the origin of the modern word 'mausoleum' .
The architect Pytheos designed a huge roughly square structure atop a great terraced plinth, surmounted by a colonnade on all four sides (36 columns in all according to Pliny who left the best description of the building) surmounted by a pyramid roof of marble steps crowned by an enormous four horse chariot group in, all in gleaming white marble. There was a rich sculptural program, each of the four sides being entrusted to the supervision of a seperate sculptor, each renowned in his day (Scopas, Leochares, Timotheus & Bryaxis, wilst Pythis created the chariot group at the summit).
The magnificent structure survived the various invasions and traumas of history suffered by the city of Halicarnassus for many centuries but appears to have been partially demolished by earthquakes in the medieval period. A substantial part of the lower half of the building survived until the Knights of St John arrived during the 2nd Crusades, who plundered the materials to build the castle that now dominates the harbour of Bodrum. Many of the materials sculpures were ground or burned for lime mortar, a tragic end to one of the greatest achievements of antiquity. During the plundering of the building the tomb chamber of Mausolos & Artemisia was discovered and looted. Little was allowed to remain and the site was consigned to oblivion.
It was not until the early 19th century that Sir Charles Newton aimed to rediscover the remains of the lost monument; sections of carved frieze and certain lion sculptures had remained visible incorporated into the medieval castle but the site itself was long forgotten. Newton had to buy plots of land at great personal expense in order to conduct test excavations to find the missing wonder, and eventually located large deposits of broken sculpture and the foundations of an enormous square structure. The lost Mausoleum was found.
The sculptures and best surviving architectural elements were sent back to London and reside in various parts of the British Museum, the best concentrated in the 'Mausoleum Room'. Their scale and quality is impressive and remind us what a grevious loss we have suffered when contemplating these last few fragments.
The sculptures include massive figures identified as Mausolos & Artemisia themselves, though it seems these are only the best preserved of a whole series of statues as many fragments of similarly huge figures have been found. Several sections of frieze and a sequence of lion statues ( originally nearly fifty, the three best preserved on display in London, another is in Istanbul). Conjecture surrounds the exact placing of all these sculptures on the monument, except for the largest of all, an enormous horse, originally one of four from the chariot group at the summit of the monument.

These architectural elements are currently housed in one of the basement galleries of the British Museum, which these days only rarely seem to be open to the public.
The "Ruinenberg" hill houses the hydraulic reservoir which was intended to feed Sanssoucis water features (it never suceeded in doing so). The pool is masked by imitation antique ruins, including a Monopteros (round temple), three high ionic columns, a small pyramid, and a ruined wall (Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff).
Sanssouci, the former summer palace of Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, in Potsdam, near Berlin was designed by Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff between 1745 and 1747 in Rococo style. The palace's French name translates as "without concerns", meaning "without worries" or "carefree", symbolising that the palace was a place for relaxation rather than a seat of power.
It was built on the brow of a hill at the centre of the park, transformed into terraced vineyards with convex centres to maximise the sun light. On the partitions of the supporting walls, the brickwork is pierced by 168 glazed niches. Below the hill, a Baroque ornamental garden, modelled on the parterre at Versailles, was constructed in 1745. It is bisected by a straight main 2.5 km long axial avenue which runs the length of the park, terminating at the western end at the far more demonstrative New Palace (Neues Palais) from 1769, commenced at the end of the Seven Years' War to celebrate Prussia’s success.
The surrounding greater expanse of the Sanssouci Park is notable for numerous temples and follies built in the same rococo style as the palace itself. Some were small houses, which compensated for the lack of reception rooms in the palace itself, and most form part of unique smaller gardens within the park. The ensemble totals about 15 different, individually styled garden spaces laid out from 1744 until early 1900, making it one of the most diverse gardens, comparable only to the likes of the even more expansive Versailles.
Questo scabro monumento ha impressionato il fotografo durante la discesa sulla splendida costa ionica calabrese nell'estate scorsa. E' un tratto litoraneo non particolarmente devastato dall'antico male italico della speculazione edilizia e i borghi che lo popolano sono lindi e piacevoli da visitare.
Torri e castelli talvolta si affacciano sul mare così azzurro da annegare nelle tonalità cobalto. Il vento da queste parti soffia con energia e solleva spume le quali rendono ancor piu' suggestivo e dionisiaco il paesaggio ..

L'immagine che ho scovato durante una "escursione" nei meandri del mio archivio digitale puo' essere anche occasione per un cenno ispirato da una recente (e allarmante) notizia giornalistica che vuole la costa del Parco nazionale del Circeo minacciata dagli speculatori della camorra dei casalesi. La cosca potentissima che sta compiendo attentati (in stile Pollica) per intimorire gli Amministratori locali e nazionali allo scopo di costringerli ad avallare i piani di reinvestimento "turistico" dei proventi del narco-traffico..
Filiberto Zaratti (Sin-Ecol-Lib) Presidente Commissione sicurezza e criminalità Regione Lazio, ha fortemente reagito agli accadimenti recenti assicurando che "il Parco non si tocca e non sarà mai preda del potere criminale e della speculazione edilizia."
All'ultima riunione della citata Commissione, svolta proprio al Circeo il 18 ottobre, anche l' "appassionato allarme del responsabile regionale di Libera, Antonio Turri: 'Bisogna smetterla di parlare semplicisticamente di infiltrazioni quando nella Provincia di Latina risiede oppure opera il gotha dell'ala militare della camorra'"
Speriamo che presto, come annunciato, sarà istituita una sezione della DIA (Direzione investigativa antimafia) con sede a Latina, allo scopo di combattere proprio le ecomafie e i loro appetiti sul Circeo.
Siamo tutti allibiti e storditi dalle giravolte tragi-comiche dei "politicanti di regime" sulla scena nazionale che giocano a rimpiattino con il futuro del Belpaese, dimostrando ogni giorno di piu' l'odio viscerale per tutti i lavoratori dipendenti che producono, pagano tasse e tirano la cinghia mentre loro se la spassano nelle ville principesche..
Mi chiedo a volte ingenuamente : qualcuno di questi politicanti di regime è mai entrato in un ufficio postale a rendersi conto della "catena di montaggio" che domina l'ambiente? Oppure in un reparto FIAT? Oppure in un cantiere ferroviario (anche di bassa velocità) ? ..
Crediamo di no, perche' loro transitano a folle velocità nelle auto blue blindate dai vetri oscurati, protetti da quelle scorte armate che vorrebbero togliere al buon Saviano.. Loro, del Nord, del Sud e del Centro non vedono nulla e non capiscono un accidente .. (Non parliamo di quando passano nel tunnel dei neutrini! Laggiu' le velocità sono davvero esagerate.. Neppure i Lentovelox boscimani li beccano..)
Credo che, ugualmente, non dobbiamo mai dimenticare le cronache "minori" dei giornali, quelle che riguardano i danni agli ambienti naturali piu' belli e incontaminati e le oscure trame sottostanti..
The Ionic columns of the Graham, Anderson, Probst & White designed Continental Illinois Bank Building (1931) stand like sentinels under the harsh light of a LaSalle Street street lamp. Inside the building the classical, four-story Grand Banking Hall tempts you with obtuse views, but it is now closed off to the public. The hall is so ornate that Louis Sullivan once remarked that the bankers should wear togas and speak Latin!

The Marble Trianon
In 1687, the Porcelain Trianon was no longer to the taste of the absolute monarch. Hardouin-Mansart replaced it with a 'little palace of marble and porphyry with delightful gardens'. Louis XIV nevertheless oversaw the work with such attentiveness that he would seem to be the true architect. It was the king who decided to endow the palace with a colonnaded portico whose transparence linked gardens to buildings more completely than elsewhere. The apartments have retained their Louis XIV decoration, but were emptied during the Revolution and are now furnished as they appeared under Napoleon I.

Another view under different light conditions of a Roman Ionic capital from the large Baths of Hadrian's villa, Tivoli. The capital has been set back into place in the frigidarium of the Baths. Probably second century.
Another view of the same capital:
Built circa 1775. 3-storey basement and attic former classical house, still retaining the fireplace inside the shop. Interesting that the Ionic capitals are designed as a pair of spectacles resting on a nose, reflecting the business as an opticians! Stunning interior enhanced by the business' use of antique furniture and preservation of original features. A-listed building.
By the eminent Edinburgh architect David Bryce, 1874-78. Originally built as the head Edinburgh office of the Glasgow based Union Bank. The Banking Hall is by John Bryce (David's nephew). A beautifully understated Italianate style building that only looks better on closer inspection, especially around the doorways. Banded vermiculated piers at ground; 3 Ionic porches, that at centre with coupled columns, with arched pilastered doorways with shell tympana and 2-leaf panelled doors.
Preparations for the Festival including wooden flooring for al fresco dining are well underway in this shot along George Street.

The Masonic Hall of the Grand Lodge of the Free & Accepted Masons of the State of New York, located at 71-79 West 23rd Street and 46-54 West 24th Street, was built from 1910-1912 by architect Harry P. Knowles. A thorough renovation in the early 1990's was completed under designer Felix Chavez.
Masonic Hall includes twelve Lodge rooms, decorated and adorned in unique styles. The auditorium-style Grand Lodge Hall on the 3rd and 4th floors seats 1,200 people, and is the meeting place for the Annual Communication of the Grand Lodge. The 14th floor contains the Masonic Library, and the 17th floor contains the Office Suite of the Grand. The building is also home to commercial tenants.
The Grand Lodge of New York (GLoNY), founded on December 15, 1782, is one of 29 independent organizations of Freemasons in the U.S. state of New York. It was at one time the largest grand lodge in the world in terms of membership. Freemasonry is a fraternal organization that arose from obscure origins in the late 16th to early 17th century. Freemasonry now exists in various forms all over the world, with a membership estimated at around six million. the fraternity is organized into independent Grand Lodges, or Grand Orients, each of which governs its own jurisdiction, which consists of subordinate (or constituent) Lodges.
I'm never sure which, of the three, is more brutal. This view is commanding. However, it's a tiny detail and lost in the scheme of things so is irrelevant. Except when photographed. Even then it has little significance. I love this detail though. I love these columns and the view of our beautiful South Downs beyond. I'd wish for a utopia of arcadian and elysian classicism. Can you arrange this for me, please, someone?
Designed by the renowned William Henry Playfair, 1850-59. A cruciform Ionic temple on stylobate. Foundation stone laid by Prince Albert on the 30th August 1850. Funded by the Treasury and the Board of Trustees, a large part of the site being given by the city at a nominal cost.
Playfair was a chief exponent of the Greek Revival style and the Ionic columns are shown to good effect in this view taken from The Mound. Indeed, so important was Playfair in shaping the look of Edinburgh that he could lay claim to giving the city the title “Athens of the North.”
The southeast rear corner of the Temple of Portunus, Forum Boarium, Rome. Three-quarter engaged Ionic column; here a detail of the column base, carved in travertine. Ca. 75 BCE.
Compare to the travertine Ionic base from the Tetrastyle Temple at Tivoli, perhaps of a slightly earlier date (25-50 years earlier?):
