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...

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma County, OK
The Citizen Bank Tower is an architecturally significant building in Oklahoma City with its hexagonal plan, slender profile, unusual sunscreens and rigorously sculpted crown. It is eligible under Criterion C as the only example of Wrightian architecture as applied to a large office building in Oklahoma City. It was among the first tall office buildings to be erected outside of downtown Oklahoma City, setting the standard for other distinctive large freestanding suburban skyscrapers. Designed by Robert Roloff of Bozalis, Dickinson and Roloff of Oklahoma City, Roloff considered it a tribute to Frank Lloyd Wright and his Price Tower constructed in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. The building was constructed from 1965 to 1966 and must meet Criteria Consideration G for exceptional significance. The Citizens Bank Tower aptly meets this requirement as a highly distinctive building with its unusual design, its progressive structural elements, and its link to the Price Tower and its association with an architectural firm responsible for some of Oklahoma City's more distinctive early Modern buildings.
The Citizens Bank Tower merits recognition as an excellent local example of a Wrightian style office building in Oklahoma City. While the resource is less than fifty years old, it is an exceptional example of this style as the only example of Wrightian architecture as applied to commercial/skyscraper buildings in Oklahoma City. Within the context of local architecture, the Citizens Bank Tower was at the forefront of modern design and is therefore eligible under Criterion C as it retains sufficient integrity to merit recognition of its architectural significance. The Citizens Bank Tower is a distinctive building since its construction in 1965-66. Robert Roloff exhibited the relationship between the corporate identity and skyscrapers within his own expression of Modern architectural style.

The Commando Memorial is a Category A listed monument in Lochaber dedicated to the men of the original British Commando Forces raised during World War II. It overlooks the training areas of the Commando Training Depot established in 1942 at Achnacarry Castle and unveiled in 1952 by the Queen Mother. It was created by the sculptor Scott Sutherland who won a competition to design the memorial in 1949.
The monument consists of a cast bronze sculpture of three Commandos in characteristic dress complete with cap comforter, webbing and rifle, standing atop a stone plinth. "United we conquer" is inscribed around the top of the stone plinth, while the original plaque on the stone plinth reads: "In memory of the officers and men of the commandos who died in the Second World War 1939–1945. This country was their training ground”
A Garden of Remembrance, which was subsequently added to the site, is used by many surviving World War II Commandos as the designated final resting place for their ashes. It has also been used as a place where many families have scattered ashes and erected tributes to loved ones who belonged to contemporary Commando units and who have died in more recent conflicts such as the Falklands War or in Afghanistan and Iraq.
