Esen Castle
At the end of the 18th century, the pharmacist De Ruysscher owned a hunting pavilion, which was replaced in the 1860s by a red-brick Victorian-style castle. By marriage it came into the hands of the Ypres noble family Hynderick de Ghelcke.
During the battles for Diksmuide, late October, early November 1914, the castle was totally destroyed. On 16 October 1914, when the Battle of the Yser was still to be fought, the 6th German army division occupied Esen Castle, from where they launched an attack on Diksmuide. On 24 October 1914 the Germans set fire to Esen Castle. The ruins and the surrounding park were transformed into an almost impregnable fortress with a command post. At the end of October and beginning of November 1914, the Belgians and the French tried several times to recapture the castle, but had to abandon the idea. The domain would remain in German hands until the Final Offensive (September 1918).
In 1925, the castle was rebuilt in neoclassical style. Now yellow brick was used.
During the Second World War, the castle was not damaged, but was occupied by the Germans for a long time. At the end of 1944, Canadian General Foulkes and British Field Marshal Montgommery, among others, stayed at Esen Castle.
Suzanne Hynderick de Ghelcke left the domain and sold it in 1983 to the city of Diksmuide, which did not immediately have a use for it. In the second half of the 1980s, it became a war museum for a while. Around 1996, the castle was bought by the Province of West Flanders. Since then, provincial offices have been located there.

Eind 18de eeuw bezat apotheker De Ruysscher een jachtpaviljoen, dat in de jaren 1860 vervangen werd door een kasteel in Victoriaanse stijl, uitgevoerd in rode baksteen. Door huwelijk kwam het in handen van de Ieperse adellijke familie Hynderick de Ghelcke.
Tijdens de gevechten om Diksmuide, eind oktober, begin november 1914, wordt het kasteel totaal vernield. Op 16 oktober 1914, toen de Slag om de IJzer nog moest losbarsten, bezette de 6de Duitse legerdivisie het kasteel van Esen, om van daaruit een aanval op Diksmuide in te zetten. Op 24 oktober 1914 staken de Duitsers het Esenkasteel in brand. De ruïne en het omliggende park werden omgebouwd tot een haast oninneembare vesting met commandopost. Eind oktober en begin november 1914 probeerden de Belgen en de Fransen meerdere malen om het kasteel te heroveren, doch moesten daar uiteindelijk van af zien. Het domein zou tot het Eindoffensief (september 1918) in Duitse handen blijven.
In 1925 werd het kasteel in neoclassicistische heropgebouwd. Nu werd gele baksteen gebruikt.
Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd het kasteel niet beschadigd, maar was het lange tijd bezet door de Duitsers. Eind 1944 verbleven o.m. de Canadese generaal Foulkes en de Britse veldmaarschalk Montgommery in het Esenkasteel.
Suzanne Hynderick de Ghelcke verliet het domein en verkocht het in 1983 aan de stad Diksmuide, die er niet meteen een bestemming voor had. In de tweede helft van de jaren '80 werd het een tijdje een oorlogsmuseum. Omstreeks 1996 werd het kasteel aangekocht door de Provincie West-Vlaanderen. Sindsdien zijn er provinciale diensten in gevestigd.

In the low but bright Winter's sunlight this morning, we walked up the stately Oude Boteringestraat in the very heart of Academia, across the Vismarkt (=Fish Market) with the glittering Aa-Kerk (St Nicholas and Our Lady) at its west end, down the Folkingestraat past the imposing Synagogue in Moorish Style, over the bridge 'through' the various buildings of the postmodern museum... and there it was: the Cathedral of Mercury's Wheel. Or rather, the main building of the railway station.
From the Philip Starck-Alessandro Mendini-Coop Himmelb(l)au Bridge of the museum the view is striking. The enormous red-brick 'cathedral' in gothic and renaissance style stretches 120 metres. Its central hall is topped by a pinnacle adorned with a Winged Locomotive Wheel, gleaming in the sunlight this morning. In the nineteenth century such winged wheels were closely associated with railways. The wings of those engine wheels allude to Hermes or Mercury, Greek and Roman gods of travel. Those gods are often shown with winged shoes or sandals, of course (as for example in the logos of many postal systems).
This building - constructed between 1893 and 1896 - was designed by the Dutch architect Isaac Gosschalk (1838-1907) of Amsterdam, where he was also an alderman. He'd studied in Zürich, Switzerland, and was much influenced by then highly fashionable throwbacks to Moorish, Gothic and Renaissance architectural styles.
This photo is of the southern stained glass window high up in the main hall of the station. It's a window fitting for this Cathedral devoted to Modern Railway Transportation and to the gods of Travel. These gods were in a good mood today, for the Pharmacist whom I'd dropped off at the Blue and Yellow Train arrived safely at V. about four hours later but quite on time...
On March 19, 1847 pharmacist and naturalist Josephus Joannes Bruinsma (1805-1885) of Leeuwarden, to his great enthusiasm, observed a so-called Fog Bow. Acccording to him such a natural phenomenon was extremely rare for his province of Friesland and he wrote about his experience several times. A Fog Bow, like a colorful rainbow, is caused by the reflection of the Sun on water droplets. But in Fog these are very small, and the startling effect is a Milky White Bow.
Today the manor Frankendael in the south of Amsterdam lay beneath a sparkling Blue Winter Sky and not a rainbow much less a Fog Bow in sight. But in honor of almost forgotten Bruinsma allow me to mention that he was also a botanist. In his Flora Frisica (1840), he fascinatingly writes about plants and their uses in his native Friesland. Here he also describes our Common Reed - seen here in Winter -, adding that it is used to thatch roofs by the roofmen of Feanwâldsterwâl. No need today in Rain- and Fog-Bowless weather for shelter against the Wet. But we were driven indoors anyway by the fiercely Cold Wind.
Becherovka. Invented by Czech pharmacist Jan Becher.
Possibly the most vile alcoholic beverage in the world.
Photo from last night's OffShoot meeting.
According to the museum dedicated to the secrets of Becher's witches' brew:
" It has been 200 years since the Becherovka recipe first saw the light of day, or to be more precise the gloom of the Becher pharmacy in the House of the Three Skylarks (U tří skřivanů) in Karlovy Vary. The museum is part of the production plant that replaced the original pharmacy approximately 150 years ago. The guided tour includes a visit to the original cellars and some of the production premises. Some places, on the other hand, are strictly off-limits. For example, the "Drogikamr" room has only ever been entered by the anointed few. Behind its bolted doors, experienced hands gather several times a year to weigh the precise amounts of dried flowers, leaves, bark and ground root in order to carefully mix the fragrant blend of twenty herbs and spices that forms the basis of the future liqueur."
Wikipedia puts it more succinctly: "cinnamon flavored kerosene, only worse".

Durango, CO - Thanks to a Pharmacist named Henry from Cleveland the Strater Hotel sits proudly on the corner of 7th and Main in Durango, Colorado. Constructed in 1887, everything seemed to be going well until Henry Strader's business partner took advantage of Henry's business inexperience, combined with the Silver Panic of 1893, the hotel was repossessed by the bank and sold to another party.
Weird history about the Silver Panic in 1893; one of the key factors of the value drop in silver was that emerging technologies made it easier and cheaper to mine and process. This reminds me of how Digital cameras ate Film's lunch in the early 2000s.
On a technical note, I used an Oben Travel Tripod (CQL-13) when taking this picture. This was the first time I used it in the wild and I like it. It is super light, small, and easy to deploy the legs quickly.

Nicolás Monardes (1493-1588) from Sevilla, Spain, was a humanist pharmacist and physician with a passion for plants. His works were widely disseminated throughout Europe and the Spanish New World. His major work (in three great volumes) is Historia medicinal de las cosas que se traen de nuestras Indias Occidentales (1569) in which he waxes eloquent about the botany of South America. Contrary to what you'll often find on the internet, Monardes never himself traveled to the Western Spanish Colonies. He was given botanical specimens by others, and he gladly used them in his great Historia.
Monardes was much taken by Passionflowers (they were thought to be a natural symbol and thus a kind of 'proof' of Christ's passion by many in his days), and there are many kinds in South America. Whether he saw this particular one, I don't know. It was first described (1849) by Christian August Friedrich Garcke (1819-1904) who also never travelled to the Americas, but he was a prolific scientific scholar and taxonomist. He didn't name this Passionflower, but it was given its name (1871) by Maxwell Tylden Masters (1833-1907) who highly respected Garcke.
Pottering around beside the paths to the Waterfalls - I'm afraid to the slight annoyance but also amusement of the guide - I found this flower just at the edge of the gorge. The guide actually remarked that most people came only to gape at the Falls and were not really interested in Nature, as he, a member of a local native people, would expect them to be.
The term carboy comes from the Persian word qarabah or qarrabah, meaning "large flagon." It is thought that carboys originate from the Near East, where drug sellers used large glass vessels, filled with coloured liquids, especially rosewater and wine, in their stalls.
The use of the carboy as a symbol for pharmacists dates back to 1600 when they were used to distinguish between pharmacists and apothecaries (who used a pestle and mortar as their sign). In the 1700s they became even more familiar as a pharmaceutical sign when shop windows were made in bigger panes and large window displays were possible. As a result, ornamental carboys became a familiar window decoration.
They are now rare as result primarily of the post War winter of 1947 which was exceptionally severe it was the coldest February on record in many parts of the UK, the result was that the carboys on display in the windows froze and were cracked. They are remarkable examples of the glass blowers skill.
Originally constructed for the Artesian Manufacturing and Bottling Company, the "Home of Dr. Pepper" is one of the most interesting commercial buildings in Waco. The extensive use of round-arch fenestration with prominent voussoirs (or wedge-shaped element) clearly reflects the pervasive influence of the work of H.H. Richardson, whose personal interpretation of the Romanesque style was widely imitated throughout the U.S. at the end of the 19th century. The asymmetrical character of the Mary Street elevation is reminiscent of some of the architectural renderings prepared by Harvey Ellis, which were published in various architectural journals in the 1890's. The design of the building represents the work of two Waco architects, Glenn Allen and Milton W. Scott. Since published drawings in the September 1906 issue of The Southern Carbonator and Bottler are signed Milton W. Scott, it appears that although the two men were in partnership, Scott was in charge of the project. Scott also designed Temple Rodef Shalom in Waco, while Allen is credited with the design of the Carnegie Library, the Madison Cooper House (NRHP,1982), and other buildings in Waco.
The history of the soft drink known as Dr. Pepper is closely linked to the structure seen in the photograph above. This soft drink was created by a pharmacist, Charles C. Alderton, and was first served at the Old Corner Drugstore in Waco on December 1, 1885. The formula was purchased by Wade B. Morrison, owner of the Drugstore. Morrison entered into an agreement with Robert Lazenby, owner of Circle "A" Ginger Ale Bottling Company in Waco, to produce & bottle Dr. Pepper. In 1891, Morrison & Lazenby formed the Artesian Manufacturing and Bottling Company, continuing to produce both Circle "A" Ginger Ale & Dr. Pepper. The Artesian name was placed on the new plant when it was built in 1906.
In 1922, the general offices of the Dr. Pepper Company were moved to Dallas, where a company reorganization took place. From 1922 until 1965, the "Home of Dr. Pepper" in Waco housed the local bottling production works for the area. In 1965, the Dr. Pepper works were relocated to a modern structure, and in the following year the old works were sold to Baylor University. In 1979, the building was sold back to the company, which was renovated as a museum focusing on the history of America's oldest soft drink manufactory.
The "Home of Dr. Pepper" is of major architectural significance to the city of Waco, clearly reflecting the popularity of the Richardsonian Romanesque style in Texas. Despite damage inflicted by a tornado on May 11, 1953, the structure retains the majority of its original fabric. The building is also of significance to the history of the beverage industry in Texas and the United States by virtue of its association with the manufacture of Dr. Pepper, one of the pioneer soft drinks in the country. For these reasons, the Artesian Manufacturing and Bottling Company building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 26, 1983. All of the information above was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration and can be viewed here:

Step through the doors of the Niagara Apothecary and see how pharmacists practised their profession over 100 years ago. Liquor by the barrel or the bottle (and even by the glass), flavourings, paints, dyes, leeches, tobacco and snuff – these were the stock-in-trade of a 19th-century pharmacy. You'll see rows of patent medicines, "miracle cure-alls" for everything from hair loss to tuberculosis. The only restorative ingredients in most patent remedies of the time were opiates and alcohol, so pharmacists were handy with a mortar and pestle to custom-make prescriptions.
The Niagara Apothecary opened its doors at this location in the late 1860s. It operated for over 100 years under a succession of six owners, closing in 1964. The Ontario Heritage Trust acquired the property, led its restoration and opened it as a museum in 1971.
The original interior fittings of the Apothecary, all in use until 1964, have been painstakingly restored. The hub of the Apothecary was the ornately carved dispensary, which dominates the rear of the museum. With the exception of certain proprietary drugs, even pills were made at the dispensary.
The Niagara Apothecary at the Sign of the Golden Mortar is an excellent example of high style, mid-Victorian commercial architecture. The Italianate façade with its arched glazed double doors and two arched plate glass show windows; and the interior, with its lustrous black walnut and butternut fixtures, elaborate plaster mouldings and crystal gasoliers projected an impression of 19th-century
The Richards Building, built in 1923 by an out-of-town developer and pharmacist, played a pivotal role in shaping the city of Fort Myers over the rest of the 20th century.
The building, at 1617 Hendry St. in downtown Fort Myers, has changed hands again. It now belongs to a modern-day, out-of-town developer looking to further shape the city and other parts of Southwest Florida over the rest of the 21st century.
Lombard, Illinois-based development company Alessio Holdings, along with other investors, purchased the four-story Richards Building on March 31 from Trolow Real Estate of Fort Myers for $2 million.
Mickey Alessio, a managing partner with the family-owned company, is establishing his company in Fort Myers, said Sawyer Smith, a Fort Myers attorney who is assisting with Alessio’s move to the region and handling his communications.
Alessio Holdings also paid $10 million on April 11 for 159 acres at the corner of State Road 82 and Interstate 75. The land was owned by Buc-ee’s, a Texas-based gas station and convenience store chain that decided against developing the site due to traffic concerns. Alessio immediately sold 23 of the acres for $7 million to Kittle Property Group, an apartment developer.
“The Alessio family sees this area as a place that they can continue with their backgrounds and skillsets,” Smith said. “They are not land flippers. They’re builders. Like a lot of people from the Midwest, they’ve found their way to Southwest Florida. They’re good people. Honest. Hard-working. It’s a good thing they’re here.”
Alessio plans to develop the acreage fronting State Road 82 while preserving the wetlands to the south of it.
“That will contain a job center,” Smith said. The details remain confidential for now. “It’s going to have jobs. They’re going to bring jobs to the area. Economic development is crucial to this city. That’s what this is all about.”
As for the Richards Building, the space on the ground floor has an antique shop and Peter’s German Ice Cream & Coffee Shop, which will continue operating as usual, the tenants said. In the 1920s, those spaces used to be a pharmacy built by R.Q. Richards.
Richards, decades ago the president of the state’s pharmacy board, convinced Philadelphia Athletics manager Connie Mack to relocate his professional baseball team to Fort Myers for spring training at Terry Park in 1924.
“R.Q. Richards is the one who established the pharmacy,” Connie Mack III, the retired U.S. senator and a Fort Myers High School graduate, told Gulfshore Business. “He’s the one who got my grandfather to come. [Richards’ grandson] and I went to high school together at Fort Myers High School. He was Dick Richards III, and of course, I was Connie Mack III.
“R.Q. Richards is the one who established the Royal Palm Pharmacy. He operated it for many years. And his son operated it after he passed away. They all worked out of it. We used to go there all the time as kids after playing baseball over at the park. We’d have a chocolate milkshake and a grilled cheese sandwich. There was a counter you could sit at. This would have been in the 1950s.”
Now, items from that past are for sale in part of that space in the antique shop, and chocolate milkshakes are on the menu at Peter’s ice cream shop. Each floor of the building has about 5,200 square feet of space.
“He wants to be in the heart of the central business district downtown,” Smith said on behalf of Alessio. “It’s going to be a very cool space.”
Bryan Myers, a broker with SVN Commercial Partners in Fort Myers, helped connect Alessio Holdings with the previous owners to make the Richards Building deal happen.
“There were no commissions paid out on that deal,” Myers said. “I did put the deal together, but I’m a part owner. I can’t say I brokered the deal, because I didn’t get paid.”
Myers moved to Fort Myers in 2006 but grew up with Mickey Alessio in Joliet, Illinois. They remained friends, and Myers joked that he twisted Alessio’s arm hard enough to finally get him interested in Fort Myers.
“Our plans are to renovate the entire fourth floor for our corporate headquarters for SVN Commercial Partners on the west coast, along with the Alessio Companies offices,” Myers said. “We’ll be sharing that space, and we’ll be keeping professional offices on the second and third floor.”
