During our tour in Ephesus, the guide constantly quizzed my sister and I on the different types of columns. Needless to say, we're experts now.

Built in 1912-13 by the Glacier Park Company, a subsidiary of the Great Northern Railway, the Glacier Park Lodge was designed by Samuel L. Bartlett and Louis W. Hill, and was constructed in the Rustic and Swiss Chalet styles to house visitors whom traveled to Glacier National Park via railroad. Based on the Forestry Building at the 1905 Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition in Portland, Oregon, the lobby in the original hotel building, located in the center of the structure, measures 200 feet (61 meters) by 100 feet (30 meters), enclosed by massive Douglas Fir tree trunks, which are still coated in bark thanks to being cut in the winter, and have Ionic-style capitals made of smaller logs. The exterior features more durable Cedar tree trunk columns that support the roof and multi-level porches, and both rustic log and sawn wood balustrades. Due to the popularity of the hotel in its early years, a large annex building, with a heavier influence from the Swiss Chalet style, was built next to the original building in 1914, expanding the number of rooms in the hotel from 61 to 172, and features multi-tier porches with sawn ballustrades. The annex and original hotel were linked with an elevated sun lounge, which connects the lobby to the first floor of the annex building. To the rear of the hotel stands a Chalet, which was constructed alongside the original hotel to house seasonal employees, which has since been supplemented with multiple additional cabins and bunkhouses for employees. The hotel saw the addition of a nine-hole golf course in 1928, the first golf course in the state of Montana, before being sold by the Great Northern Railway in 1960, after which a pool was added and the building was renovated under the private company Glacier Park, Inc. In 1981, the hotel was sold to Dial Corporation, which later spun off Viad Coporation as a separate entity, which remains the operator of the hotel. Open only during the time between mid-May and mid-September, the hotel remains a seasonal operation, and maintains its connection to the nearby East Glacier train station, which is served by Amtrak’s long-distance Empire Builder route. The hotel maintains a 1960s 9-door Checker Aerobus, which is still sometimes used to carry guests and their luggage to and from the nearby East Glacier Train Station. Despite being a historically and architecturally significant structure, the hotel, unlike many of the others built by the Great Northern Railway, is not currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and has several building systems and elements on the interior that appear to have not been touched in decades. Today, staying at this hotel features accommodations that are a bit like stepping back in time.
Era in uso, fino a non molti anni fa, mettere su uno spigolo sommitale della casa, su un comignolo o, comunque, in un posto decisamente visibile, un oggetto che si riteneva potesse proteggere la abitazione da influenze nefaste di vario tipo. Analoghe usanze erano adottate per la protezione magica dei campi e dei raccolti.

My parents' home which they designed and built. It was based on a classic American Georgian style home in Virginia, with added features from the Federal period. The front demi-lune, columns, and sidelights surrounding the front door were designed after we spent hours driving around looking at front porches on homes in Columbus Ohio.

Red and gold cut silk velvet
During the 1760s three-piece suits made of matching fabric returned to fashion... This similar example is made of red silk velvet, woven to create a pattern reminiscent of brickwork, accentuated with stripes of woven gold thread. Throughout the eighteenth century the French city of Lyon produced the finest quality and widest range of silk fabrics in Europe, rivalled only by the industry centred around Spitalfields in London, originally set up by Huguenot exiles from France.
This suit demonstrates the fashion for buttons to be covered in the same material as the garment. By 1790, concern about the detrimental impact on the traditional button-making industry prompted a revival of an historic Act of Parliament, imposing a penalty of £40 (more than £5,000 today) on wearers of cloth-covered buttons. One commentator wrote 'soon they had all disappeared, and are now replaced by simple goldplated buttons for Half Dress'.*

Style & Society: Dressing the Georgians
(April to October 2023)
The display brings together over 200 works from the Royal Collection, including paintings, prints and drawings by artists such as Gainsborough, Zoffany and Hogarth, as well as rare surviving examples of clothing and accessories. The exhibition builds up a layer-by-layer picture of what the Georgians wore - from the practical dress of laundry maids to the glittering gowns worn at court - and chart the transformation of clothing and silhouettes from the accession of George I in 1714 to the death of George IV in 1830.
At the heart of the exhibition is a rarely displayed, full-length portrait of Queen Charlotte by Thomas Gainsborough, c.1781, which usually hangs in the White Drawing Room at Windsor Castle. Painted by candlelight, it depicts the Queen in a magnificent gown, worn over a wide hoop and covered with gold spangles and tassels. The painting is be shown alongside a beautifully preserved gown of a similar style, worn at Queen Charlotte’s court in the 1760s, on loan from the Fashion Museum Bath.
On display for the first time is Queen Charlotte’s book of psalms, covered in the only silk fabric known to survive from one of her dresses. The expensive fabric, decorated with metal threads to glimmer in candlelight, was most likely repurposed after the dress had passed out of fashion. As textiles were highly prized, Georgian clothing was constantly recycled, even by the royal family, and there was a thriving market for second-hand clothes.
The exhibition includes items of jewellery from Queen Charlotte’s famed collection, such as a diamond ring featuring a miniature of her husband George III, given to her on her wedding day. Other accessories on display will include beautiful English and French fans, which reached their fashionable zenith during this period, some representing topical events such as the first hot air balloon flight, and jewel-encrusted snuffboxes, reflecting the craze amongst both men and women for taking snuff throughout the 18th century.
The exhibition reveals how the Georgians ushered in many of the cultural trends we know today, including the first stylists and influencers, the birth of a specialised fashion press and the development of shopping as a leisure activity. From the popularity of fancy-dress and the evolution of childrenswear, to the introduction of military uniforms and the role of clothing in showing support for revolutions at home and abroad, Style & Society will explore what clothing can tell us about all areas of life in the rapidly changing world of 18th-century Britain.

The Rievaulx (pronounced ree-voh) terrace and temples is a National Trust property in North Yorkshire has two points of interest - the Ionic temple inspired by the Temple of Fortuna Virilis in Rome, and the Tuscan Temple - a scaled down version of the mausoleum at Castle Howard. The name Rievaulx comes from Norman-French word val meaning Valley, and the name of the river Rye. They were erected in 1758 by Thomas Duncombe III.
The above picture is of the Ionic temple, the flooring of which came from the nearby abbey that was closed years earlier by Henry VIII. Inside it is a dining room, and below is another set of rooms that were used as a kitchen and living quarters.
