A former railway station building from the 19th century. It's the worlds oldest surviving monumental railway architecture.
The station opened in 1838. When New St Station was finished in 1854, Curzon St stopped being a passenger station, put holiday trips continued until 1893. It remained in use until 1966 as a goods station. It was called Birmingham Station until 1852 when they added Curzon St.
It is Grade I listed but isn't in use at the moment.
Curzon Street Station was the terminus of the London and Birmingham Railway which started at London Euston.
The line was engineered by Robert Stephenson

After ceasing being a station for passengers, it was later the called British Rail Goods Office. But it hasn't been that in a very long time.
It was formerly listed as the Railway Goods Office.

L'Affrontata è una reliquia di sacra rappresentazione. Consiste in una processione condotta con le statue della Madonna, del Cristo e di San Giovanni. Al termine della procesione c'è l'incontro delle statue del Cristo e della Madonna. Alla statua della Madonna si fa cadere il velo nero con cui era ricoperta ed i paesani si scambiano gli auguri di Pasqua.

Mirror with Ionic Volutes - Bronze, 500-450 BC. Ancient mirrors were made of polished metals. The polishing in this example is long gone. Glass mirrors as we know them today began to appear by 79 AD.
When I was there, the Museum had an exhibit on Ancient Greece.
After visiting the Lew Wallace Study and Museum, I returned to Indianapolis, to connect with the friend I was visiting there. When planning my visit to the area, I discovered the Indianapolis Children's Museum, which boasts of being the world's biggest children's museum. Later, I was happy to find that my friend wanted to come with me to this place. We visited it on October 24, 2019.
Saw this from Hyde Park Corner as we headed to Apsley House. There was scaffolding over most of it. So assumed it is being restored.

Holkham Hall was built for Thomas Coke, later 1st earl of Leicester (1697-1759). It was first conceived around 1722 and the foundation stone laid in 1734. The south-west wing was finished by 1741 and the south front by 1753. The exteriors were complete by 1759 and the interiors by 1761, after Coke's death. The design is now thought to be by Coke himself in discussion with Lord Burlington, but employing Matthew Brettingham the Elder as draughtsman and William Kent as supervisor.
The house is entered by the Stone Hall, sometimes called the Marble Hall. Its structure was completed by 1752 but the interior had only been filled to the level of the main floor by 1757, when, in the following two years, major changes were made to the north or entrance front wall and the staircase. The Hall evokes the Vitruvian so-called Egyptian Hall and the apsed and aisled antique basilica adapted by Palladio. Internally, it has alabaster facings and a rich Ionic order adapted from the Temple of Fortuna Virilis in Rome. The walls at ground floor level are faced with pink Derbyshire alabaster. The gallery, at main-floor level, has a cast-iron balustrade and free-standing Ionic columns of pink alabaster (as seen here). The walls of the gallery contain niches for sculpture. The marble doorcases have pulvinated friezes.

N. side of Erechtheion, Ionic columns (scrollwork capitals, taller and more slender-looking than Doric columns).
The Erechtheion is an unusual building on the Acropolis of Athens built to contain several sacred objects and ancient shrines, including the olive tree of Athena, the saltwater spring of Poseidon, and the tomb of Kekrops.

The Temple of Artemis at Sardis was one of the largest shrines of the Classical World, only three other Ionic temples rivalled it for size, the Artemis Temple at Ephesus, the Apollo Temple at Didyma, and the Hera Temple on Samos. (all of which bar Samos we visited on this trip).
Despite it's ruined condition with only two of the columns surviving at full height the enormous scale of the building continues to inspire awe, several Ionic capitals stand at ground level and give a sense of the fine detail as well as impressive size.
At the rear of the temple is a small ruined Byzantine chapel, suggesting the great building must have been converted to Christian use before it's eventual demise.
The temple we see today was begun c300 BC but left unfinished until the Roman period, when renovation was also necessary following earthquake damage. The decorative finishes were never completed, as is attested by the unfluted columns.

Apollo (Attic, Ionic, and Homeric Greek: Ἀπόλλων, Apollōn (gen.: Ἀπόλλωνος); Doric: Ἀπέλλων, Apellōn; Arcadocypriot: Ἀπείλων, Apeilōn; Aeolic: Ἄπλουν, Aploun; Latin: Apollō) is one of the most important and complex of the Olympian deities in ancient Greek and Roman religion, Greco–Roman Neopaganism, and Greek and Roman mythology. The ideal of the kouros (a beardless, athletic youth), Apollo has been variously recognized as a god of light and the sun, truth and prophecy, healing, plague, music, poetry, and more. Apollo is the son of Zeus and Leto, and has a twin sister, the chaste huntress Artemis. Apollo is known in Greek-influenced Etruscan mythology as Apulu.
As the patron of Delphi (Pythian Apollo), Apollo was an oracular god—the prophetic deity of the Delphic Oracle. Medicine and healing are associated with Apollo, whether through the god himself or mediated through his son Asclepius, yet Apollo was also seen as a god who could bring ill-health and deadly plague. Amongst the god's custodial charges, Apollo became associated with dominion over colonists, and as the patron defender of herds and flocks. As the leader of the Muses (Apollon Musegetes) and director of their choir, Apollo functioned as the patron god of music and poetry. Hermes created the lyre for him, and the instrument became a common attribute of Apollo. Hymns sung to Apollo were called paeans.
Built in 1975 as a replacement to the original 1913 built Ionic Cinema. This new Ionic seated 562 and was designed by the architectural firm of George Coles & Company. It closed on 30th September 1999 as the ABC Ionic and has remained unused since then. Photographed here is July 1994.
