Abbey church. Built 1907-1932, on the foundations of the medieval Cistercian abbey church (except the east end). FA Walters. For the Benedictine monks who established a house here in 1882. Most of the building work was carried out by a small group of monks working under a master mason. Snecked local grey limestone with Ham Hill dressings; copper roof. Style "mixture of English Cistercian and French early Gothic" (Pevsner). 1965 east end Blessed Sacrament chapel to the designs of Paul Pearn. Plan: church with 8-bay lean-to aisles plus galleried western bay; central crossing tower; transepts with chapels; 3-bay choir with choir aisles; east end Blessed Sacrament chapel with undercroft. EXTERIOR: west end of nave with flanking projecting buttresses containing stairs to gallery, rising as pinnacles with broach spire roofs, bases and pinnacles decorated with blind arcading. Round-headed west doorway with shafts, left and right shafts with cushion capitals and carved gable. Doorway has 3 orders of zigzag, billet and chevron moulding on engaged shafts; 2-leaf door with elaborate ironwork. Above the doorway a recessed 3-centred blind moulded arch containing 2 round-headed windows with shafts and a roundel window above. Above the archway blind arcading decorates the gable. West ends of lean-to aisles have smaller versions of the buttresses flanking the nave and paired round-headed openings (one blind) with roundels above. North side of 9-bay nave has pilasters and a corbelled parapet. Round-headed triforium windows linked by string rising as continuous hoodmould. Nave with parapet and round-headed windows, the hoodmould string interrupted by the pilasters. Small gabled porch in second bay from the west with set-back buttresses, parapet and round-headed outer doorway with shafts and chevron-carved arch. Easternmost 2 bays of aisle with taller roof and blind arcading above the windows. North end of north transept with tall paired arches containing 4 tiers of glazed blind and glazed windows, either round-headed or roundels. East side of transept has one-bay chapel. The choir continues in the same style with lean-to choir aisle roofs. 1965 concrete east end chapel on 4 columns with shallow gabled roof. Tower with 3 stages above nave roof. Clasping pilasters; corner pinnacles with 2 tiers of blind arcading and broach spires, crow-stepped parapet. Lower stage has lancet windows in round-headed recesses, middle stage has small lancet windows in moulded arched recesses; 2-light plate-traceried louvred belfry windows. INTERIOR: Stone-vaulted, the aisles with transverse vaults. Arcades with piers with engaged shafts and chamfred and moulded arches. Nave rib vault with red sandstone infill. Triforium has a pair of 2-light pointed arches to each bay with super-ordinate round-headed blind arch. Aisle walls decorated with blind round-headed recesses containing triple round-headed arches on shafts with moulded bases and carved capitals. Stone-vaulted west end gallery on piers with canted bays to parapet. Tower arches on short paired shafts with moulded bases and carved capitals. Crossing has corbelled stone gallery; transepts have simple galleries on moulded corbels with cast-iron railings. Choir has similar detail to nave but carved, not moulded capitals and stone infill to the vaulting of choir and choir aisles. East end of sanctuary has 2 round-headed arches and 2 round-headed windows above the triforium with a central shaft rising to a carving of the Coronation of the Virgin. The furnishings, floors, painted decoration and stained glass are unexpectedly lavish, particularly the outstanding metalwork, which is mostly 1928-1932 by Bernhard Witte of Aachen, inspired by German Romanesque metalwork and described in some detail in Pevsner. The stained glass is a remarkable collection, mostly still in the medievalising Victorian tradition and of the highest quality. In addition the church contains a C16 ivory crucifix donated by the Clifford family of Ugbrooke, the leading Roman Catholic family in Devon. 1965 Blessed Sacrament chapel by Paul Pearn conceived as a setting for ambitious mosaic stained glass designed by Father Charles Norris, one of the Buckfast Abbey monks. Historical note: the rebuilding of the abbey church by the Buckfast monks was well-publicised in the national and local press and one of the monks with an interest in photography recorded much of the work: the archive is held by the abbey. Buckfast Abbey became an important focus for Roman Catholicism in Devon in the late C19 and C20 with the monks serving private chapels in the area, including Ugbrooke in Chudleigh for the Clifford family and Dundridge in Harberton for the wife of Sir John Harvey.

So my poster girl for my faceup folder is in line for an update! She's keeping her face for now because I have run out of sealant (and my last bit of MSC spattered all over poor Sereniel's face so that's something else I need to fix XP). Ismay wasn't so lucky...
I wonder if Miss Shortland regrets asking William for a list of countries or if it's her way of getting peace and quiet.

North Little Rock Veterans Administration Hospital Historic District
North Little Rock, Arkansas
Listed 02/20/2013
Reference Number: 13000021
The North Little Rock VA Hospital Historic District is an excellent example of a neuropsychiatric Second Generation Veterans Hospital that incorporates design elements of both Period I and ll along with preexisting buildings relating to the military post dating to the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The North Little Rock VA Hospital Historic District contains numerous resources dating to the period when the site was occupied by a military post known as Fort Logan H. Roots. Additional resources constructed by the U.S. Public Health Service, the Veterans Bureau, and later the VA also remain within the historic district boundary. The Veterans Bureau and VA added or modified existing buildings to accommodate the neuropsychiatric medical needs of the region's veterans. The North Little Rock VA Hospital Historic District displays elements of several periods of U.S. military/federal construction, including Period I of Second Generation Veterans Hospitals dating from 1919 to the mid-1920s and Period ll that continues from the late 1920s through 1950. The North Little Rock VA Hospital Historic District is an excellent example of the adaption of existing federal properties to the needs of veterans requiring neuropsychiatric care. Numerous resources within the historic district predate the period of significance (1921-f950) and achieve contributing status as representative examples of the acquisition and adaption of existing federally-owned properties for use as federal medical facilities for veterans. The North Little Rock VA Hospital Historic District is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) under Criterion A at the state level in the areas of politics/government because of the importance placed on securing the federal facility and its impact on the local community and veterans throughout Arkansas. The North Little Rock VA Hospital Historic District is also eligible under Criterion A at the state level in the areas of health/medicine because of the mission of the federal government, through the U.S. Public Health Service, the Veterans Bureau, and the VA, to provide neuropsychiatric health care to veterans of World War I and World War ll. This facility is also eligible under Criterion C in the area of architecture at the state level as the North Little Rock VA Hospital Historic District is an intact example of a facility that includes buildings dating prior to the period of significance and incorporating design elements of both Period I and Period ll Second Generation Veterans Hospitals. This includes incorporating elements of Colonial Revival and Classical Revival architectural styles that were nationally popular in the early to mid{twentieth century. While not fully-executed examples of the styles, the use of symmetrical fenestration, central projecting pavilions, pediments pierced by lunettes, elaborate door surrounds, gable- or hip-roof dormers, and tripartite windows reflect the influence of the Colonial Revival and Classical Revival styles that were fashionable in the early decades of the twentieth century and continued beyond World War ll. The North Little Rock VA Hospital Historic District also exhibits standardized building designs that were incorporated into the campuses of Period ll neuropsychiatric Second Generation Veterans Hospitals, such as the H-shape patient ward/treatment buildings. The Fort Logan H. Roots Military Post was listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1974. The resources already listed in the approximately 29-acre NRHP historic district under the previous nomination are considered contributing elements to the North Little Rock VA Hospital Historic District because they were present and utilized by the hospital during the historic district's period of significance. Construction began in 1921 with the transfer of Fort Logan H. Roots to the U.S. Public Health Service and continued to 1950 with various additions and new buildings constructed within the historic district. The North Little Rock VA Hospital Historic District was initially designated a neuropsychiatric hospital, and it retained this designation throughout the period of significance. The historic district continues to retain characteristics of the neuropsychiatric veterans hospital sub-type while incorporating the preexisting buildings and campus design of the military post. The period of significance and assessment of contributing and noncontributing resources for this nomination are based on the historic district's significance within the historic contexts developed in the United States Second Generation Veterans Hospitals Multiple Property Documentation Form (MPDF). Resources constructed after 1950, and thus considered non contributing within this nomination, may possess significance under themes not fully developed as part of the MPDF. Resources located within the North Little North Little Rock Veterans Administration Hospital Historic District Pulaski County, Arkansas Name of Property County and State Rock campus of the Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System may be eligible or contributing for other associations or contexts under National Register Criteria A-D, or recent buildings/structures may be eligible under Criteria Consideration G, for resources of exceptional importance that are less than 50 years of age.

Inside this hallowed 3 ring binder are 25 hand written pages listing the 766 beers that are in my collection. Its taken about 8 years of collecting for me to get to this number. I've had a great time finding the different beers and trying every one of them. I usually buy them by the single bottle. Many of these beers have fun stories behind them
Other names: Edgar Monsanto Queeny House and Queeny Plantation
Prairie County, AR
Listed: May 23, 2011
Wingmead, the home of noted environmentalist Edgar Monsanto Queeny and his wife is now on the National Register. Monsanto was the author of 1946’s Prairie Wings, “a classic study of American wildfowl in flight,” and the 14,000-acre farm and estate he built in 1939 is a reflection of his love for wildlife and conservation. Built as a hunting retreat, the estate includes a Colonial Revival-style main house, several farm buildings, a kennel, and a small cabin that Queeny used as his personal retreat for writing. Queeny also had a darkroom and photography studio, but a key feature of the estate is the 4,000-acre Peckerwood Lake, constructed for duck hunting and irrigation, and which once had over a million ducks – Life magazine even described his photos of them as “among the world’s finest.” Queeny also authored Cheechako: The Story of an Alaskan Bear Hunt in 1941 and served as a trustee of the American Museum of Natural History, until his death in 1968. Privately-owned, Wingmead, meaning “meadow of wings,” is still a farm and hunting retreat, and is considered one of the most impressive residences in Prairie County and even the state.
Lister Park (also known as Manningham Park) is a picturesque public park in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England, between Manningham, Heaton and Frizinghall. It has won various national awards. (from Wikipedia)

Sebrell Rural Historic District
Sebrell, Virginia
Listed 8/27/2013
Reference Number: 13000648
The Sebrell Rural Historic District is an agricultural area within north-central Southampton County that contains the remnants of Barn Tavern, an eighteenth and nineteenth century community that grew around a tavern by the same name; and Sebrell, a twentieth century rail road town that evolved from Barn Tavern. The remnants of these two villages are seated roughly a half-mile apart and contain the largest concentrations of historic buildings in the district. The surrounding area is composed of historic and non-historic farms with a mix of large and small agricultural fields, timber farms, and pasture. The period of significance for the district extends from 1761 to 1931, beginning with the construction of Barn Tavern and ending with the rerouting of Plank Road around the village of Sebrell. Although this bypass was not the only cause for the demise of the village as a recognizable entity, it marked a major blow to Sebrell as travelers were no longer routed through town. This was the first of several factors that led to the eventual demise of the village.
