Deur van het Nederlands Bakkerijmuseum in Hattem
Het museum bestaat uit twee hoofdgebouwen, namelijk het "Pand" en het "Backhuys". Het Pand heeft het interieur van een 18e-eeuwse bedrijfskeuken. Het Backhuys werd in 1985 gekocht en in 1987 onderdeel van het museum. Het Backhuys was voordat het onderdeel van het museum een café. De twee gebouwen werden in 1990 met elkaar verbonden door een ondergrondse tunnel.
Het museum werd in 2000 een officieel geregistreerd museum.

The museum consists of two main buildings, namely the "Pand" and the "Backhuys". Het Pand has the interior of an 18th-century company kitchen. The Backhuys was bought in 1985 and part of the museum in 1987. Before it was part of the museum, the Backhuys was a café. The two buildings were connected by an underground tunnel in 1990.
The museum became an officially registered museum in 2000.

A La Ronde, Summer Lane, Exmouth, Devon.
A La Ronde is a sixteen-sided property built in the 18th century for two cousins Mary and Jane Parmenter. It is Grade 1 listed, the gardens are Grade 2 listed. It is now run by the National Trust.
The house was built in 1796 and is based loosely on the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna, Italy. There was on the lower floor, a strong room, wine cellar and kitchen. The upper part of the house, there were bedrooms, study and many collected items. The cousins were fond of travelling and bought back many shells and other collectables.
Another feature were the triangular closets with diamond shaped windows. There has been quite a bit of renovation. A new bathroom was installed, central heating and new dormer windows fitted. More construction took place, a water tower and laundry room was built. This work took place when Rev. Oswald Reichel took over the tenantship in 1886. There is a Shell Gallery on the top story of the house which has been restored back to how it looked when the two cousins owned the property.
Another building that was erected in the cousin’s time was the ‘Point-in-View Chapel’. Alas a building I did not visit but the house and garden very worthwhile a visit when you’re close to Exmouth.
A view of the west side of the 200 block of S. Main as seen from E. Market St. This intersection of S, Main and E. Market is on the southwest corner of the courthouse square. All of the buildings in this view are contributing properties in the Caldwell County Courthouse Square Historic District listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
On the corner at 201 S. Main St. is the S. J. Henderson Building constructed in 1889-1890, and which originally housed the dry goods business of a Mr. A. Weinbaum. The large painted mural on the north side of the building proudly declares Lockhart as the BBQ Capital of Texas, a honor bestowed upon this community in 1999 by the Texas Legislature.
This one and a half story building with a parapet appears to be a two-story building. Along the upper portion of the east and northeast sides of th building are false slatted windows with round arches. Iron columns that once flanked the building's entrance have been removed.
At 203 and 205 S. Main St. are a pair of two-story commercial buildings. The closest of these is the August Walters Building that was constructed in 1890. August Walters was a saddle and harness maker, and also was a gunsmith.
This two-story brick and stone building has its main facade intact. Divided into three bays by brick pilasters, the first floor contains a central double door with rounded transom, flanked by wide display windows with rounded transoms. Three round arched windows pierce the second floor and are horizontally joined by a raised stringcourse joining the hood molds. The building is now painted blue with white trim.
To the immediate south of the August Walters Building at 205 S. Main St. is the E. L. Bowden Warehouse. Constructed in 1900 as a warehouse for Mr. Bowden's dry goods business, the facade of the building is now painted light blue with white trim.
The three-bay facade contains a central double door flanked by double windows on each side. Each of the openings are embellished by a segmental arched transom. The three second floor windows have segmental arches and are joined by a stringcourse.
Next, located at 211 S. Main St., is a three-story red brick structure with white stone trim that was built in 1925 for the Lockhart Masonic Lodge #690. On the corner, but blocked from our view by the Masonic Temple, is the Dr. Eugene Clark Library. Both the Masonic Temple and library will be shown in detail in an upcoming post.
Lockhart, a community of 14,811 at the 2020 census, is the seat of Caldwell County and is located just 30 miles south of the state capital in downtown Austin. Lockhart's square and downtown is filled with late 19th and early 20th century buildings, nearly all contributing properties to the historic district. The city's turn-of-the-century appearance has attracted the attention of film makers. Over 50 films for the theater and TV have been shot in whole or in part in Lockhart, including the 1996 Christopher Guest comedy film Waiting for Guffman and the 1993 drama What's Eating Gilbert Grape.

I've only been down to the edge of Crater Lake once, but it was an unforgettable experience. This was taken with my Zero Image 2000 pinhole camera, a couple of years ago. I've forgotten the exactly month and year... these memories of Oregon are becoming so plentiful that they tend to run together.
At long last, made it to this infamous location on the NC500 route with that red roof - simply a matter of driving around the road far enough, something I've never done before. I would like to think that the owner of this property is having a bit of a laugh at all the tourists wanting its photograph and he has attached a ladder to the roof!
Thanks to SkyeBaggie for title inspiration!

There is a second railroad in the Pittston area that interchanges with the RBMN. In business since 1994 the Luzerne and Susquehanna operates 60 miles of assorted bits of cast of scraps of once important class 1 routes that once served the Scranton Wilkes-Barre area. The valley was placed with a nearly incomprehensible web of rails at one time that generated carloads and revenue to boggle the mind. But now so little remains and what does is but a shadow of itself. In fact the trackage beneath this unit that sits stationary, blue flagged, and tied down was once the LV's mainline into Wilkes-Barre.
LS 1751 itself is an EMD GP9 blt. Oct. 1959 ad Pennsylvania Railroad 7242. The venerable geep is now the property of RJ Corman Railroad group which bought the L&S in August 2020. One wonders if 1751 will survive and trade her somber LS black for brilliant Corman crimson. I guess we'll just have to wait and see...

The area that was to become West Palm Beach was settled in the late 1870s and 1880s by a few hundred settlers who called the vicinity "Lake Worth Country." These settlers were a diverse community from different parts of the United States and the world. They included founding families such at the Potters and the Lainharts, who would go on to become leading members of the business community in the fledgling city. The first white settlers in Palm Beach County lived around Lake Worth, then an enclosed freshwater lake, named for Colonel William Jenkins Worth, who had fought in the Second Seminole War in Florida in 1842. Most settlers engaged in the growing of tropical fruits and vegetables for shipment the north via Lake Worth and the Indian River. By 1890, the U.S. Census counted over 200 people settled along Lake Worth in the vicinity of what would become West Palm Beach. The area at this time also boasted a hotel, the "Cocoanut House", a church, and a post office. The city was platted by Henry Flagler as a community to house the servants working in the two grand hotels on the neighboring island of Palm Beach, across Lake Worth in 1893, coinciding with the arrival of the Florida East Coast railroad. Flagler paid two area settlers, Captain Porter and Louie Hillhouse, a combined sum of $45,000 for the original town site, stretching from Clear Lake to Lake Worth.
On November 5, 1894, 78 people met at the "Calaboose" (the first jail and police station located at Clematis St. and Poinsettia, now Dixie Hwy.) and passed the motion to incorporate the Town of West Palm Beach in what was then Dade County (now Miami-Dade County). This made West Palm Beach the first incorporated municipality in Dade County and in South Florida. The town council quickly addressed the building codes and the tents and shanties were replaced by brick, brick veneer, and stone buildings. The city grew steadily during the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th century, most residents were engaged in the tourist industry and related services or winter vegetable market and tropical fruit trade. In 1909, Palm Beach County was formed by the Florida State Legislature and West Palm Beach became the county seat. In 1916, a new neo-classical courthouse was opened, which has been painstakingly restored back to its original condition, and is now used as the local history museum.
The city grew rapidly in the 1920s as part of the Florida land boom. The population of West Palm Beach quadrupled from 1920 to 1927, and all kinds of businesses and public services grew along with it. Many of the city's landmark structures and preserved neighborhoods were constructed during this period. Originally, Flagler intended for his Florida East Coast Railway to have its terminus in West Palm, but after the area experienced a deep freeze, he chose to extend the railroad to Miami instead.
The land boom was already faltering when city was devastated by the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. The Depression years of the 1930s were a quiet time for the area, which saw slight population growth and property values lower than during the 1920s. The city only recovered with the onset of World War II, which saw the construction of Palm Beach Air Force Base, which brought thousands of military personnel to the city. The base was vital to the allied war effort, as it provided an excellent training facility and had unparalleled access to North Africa for a North American city. Also during World War II, German U-Boats sank dozens of merchant ships and oil tankers just off the coast of West Palm Beach. Nearby Palm Beach was under black out conditions to minimize night visibility to German U-boats.
The 1950s saw another boom in population, partly due to the return of many soldiers and airmen who had served in the vicinity during the war. Also, the advent of air conditioning encouraged growth, as year-round living in a tropical climate became more acceptable to northerners. West Palm Beach became the one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas during the 1950s; the city's borders spread west of Military Trail and south to Lake Clarke Shores. However, many of the city's residents still lived within a narrow six-block wide strip from the south to north end. The neighborhoods were strictly segregated between White and African-American populations, a legacy that the city still struggles with today. The primary shopping district remained downtown, centered around Clematis Street.
In the 1960s, Palm Beach County's first enclosed shopping mall, the Palm Beach Mall, and an indoor arena were completed. These projects led to a brief revival for the city, but in the 1970s and 1980s crime continued to be a serious issue and suburban sprawl continued to drain resources and business away from the old downtown area. By the early 1990s there were very high vacancy rates downtown, and serious levels of urban blight.
Since the 1990s, developments such as CityPlace and the preservation and renovation of 1920s architecture in the nightlife hub of Clematis Street have seen a downtown resurgence in the entertainment and shopping district. The city has also placed emphasis on neighborhood development and revitalization, in historic districts such as Northwood, Flamingo Park, and El Cid. Some neighborhoods still struggle with blight and crime, as well as lowered property values caused by the Great Recession, which hit the region particularly hard. Since the recovery, multiple new developments have been completed. The Palm Beach Mall, located at the Interstate 95/Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard interchange became abandoned as downtown revitalized - the very mall that initiated the original abandonment of the downtown. The mall was then redeveloped into the Palm Beach Fashion Outlets in February 2014. A station for All Aboard Florida, a high-speed passenger rail service serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, is under construction as of July 2015.

Cragside, Rothbury, Northumberland
Cragside was the dream of the Victorian entrepreneur, William Armstrong. Originally trained as a solicitor, was a keen amateur scientist who then conducted experiments in electricity and hydraulics. In 1847 he left the law to set up his own company W. G. Armstrong & Co. just outside Newcastle. During the 1850’s he made his fortune supplying arms to the British Army. He was knighted in 1859.
The original house was a small shooting lodge which was built between 1862-64. In 1869 Armstrong employed the services of architect Richard Norman Shaw to enlarge Cragside, firstly in 1869 and again in 1882. Between these years the house blossomed, not only with the breath-taking architecture but the house was filled with wonderful works of art. Both of the Armstrong’s were great patrons to the Arts.
However after Armstrong’s death in 1900, Cragside ran into difficulty and in 1910 the best of the art was sold off. Eventually with heavy death duties in the 1970’s the family sold up and the National Trust in 1977. Cragside is a Grade I listed building and was opened to the public in 1979.
There is much to see both inside the house and the garden to enjoy, it is well worth a visit. This is the last of the four postings.

Tarpon Springs is a city in Pinellas County, Florida, United States. The population was 23,484 at the 2010 census. Tarpon Springs has the highest percentage of Greek Americans of any city in the US. Downtown Tarpon Springs has long been a focal point and is currently undergoing beautification.
The region, with a series of bayous feeding into the Gulf of Mexico, was first settled by white and black farmers and fishermen around 1876. Some of the newly arrived visitors spotted tarpon jumping out of the waters and so named the location Tarpon Springs. The name is said to have originated with a remark of Mrs. Ormond Boyer, an early settler from South Carolina, and who, while standing on the shore of the Bayou and seeing fish leaping exclaimed, "See the tarpon spring!' However, for the most part, the fish seen splashing here were mullets rather than tarpon. In 1882, Hamilton Disston, who in the previous year had purchased the land where the city of Tarpon Springs now stands, ordered the creation of a town plan for the future city.
On February 12, 1887, Tarpon Springs became the first incorporated city in what is now Pinellas County. Less than a year later on January 13, 1888, the Orange Belt Railway, the first railroad line to be built in what is now Pinellas County, arrived in the city. During this time the area was developed as a wintering spot for wealthy northerners.
In the 1880s, John K. Cheyney founded the first local sponge business. The industry continued to grow in the 1890s. Many people from Key West and the Bahamas settled in Tarpon Springs to hook sponges and then process them. A few Greek immigrants also arrived in this city during the 1890s to work in the sponge industry.
In 1905, John Cocoris introduced the technique of sponge diving to Tarpon Springs by recruiting divers and crew members from Greece. The first divers came from the Saronic Gulf islands of Aegina and Hydra, but they were soon outnumbered by those from the Dodecanese islands of Kalymnos, Symi, and Halki. The sponge industry soon became one of the leading maritime industries in Florida and the most important business in Tarpon Springs, generating millions of dollars a year. The 1953 film Beneath the 12-Mile Reef, depicting the sponge industry, takes place and was filmed in Tarpon Springs.
In 1947, red tide algae bloom wiped out the sponge fields in the Gulf of Mexico, causing many of the sponge boats and divers to switch to shrimping for their livelihood, while others left the business. Eventually, the sponges recovered, allowing for a smaller but consistent sponge industry today. In the 1980s, the sponge business experienced a boom due to a sponge disease that killed the Mediterranean sponges. Today there is still a small active sponge industry. Visitors can often view sponge fishermen working at the Sponge Docks on Dodecanese Boulevard. In addition, visitors can enjoy shops, restaurants, and museum exhibits that detail Tarpon Springs' Greek heritage.
In 2007 and 2008, the City of Tarpon Springs established Sister City relationships with Kalymnos, Halki, Symi, and Larnaca, Cyprus, honoring the close historical link with these Greek-speaking islands.
There are several districts or properties in Tarpon Springs that have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places:
Tarpon Springs Greektown Historic District
Tarpon Springs Historic District
Arcade Hotel
Old Tarpon Springs City Hall
Old Tarpon Springs High School
Safford House
Rose Hill Cemetery
Tarpon Springs Depot
Many sites related to the sponge industry within the Greektown District also have been recognized. They include but are not limited to two sponge packing houses:
E.R. Meres Sponge Packing House
N.G. Arfaras Sponge Packing House
And several boats:
N.K. Symi (Sponge Diving Boat)
St. Nicholas III (Sponge Diving Boat)
St. Nicholas VI (Sponge Diving Boat)

Taddeo Gaddi (c. 1300 - 1366) Stories of Christ and St. Francis of Assisi (Panels of the cupboard in the sacristy of Santa Croce) (1340 - Tempera on panel dimensions: 41 x 31 cm - Galleria dell'Accademia, Florence
La formelle decoravano sicuramente un arredo ligneo nella sacrestia di Santa Croce a Firenze, forse un armadio per reliquie. La prima citazione dell'armadio risale al Cinquecento (Anonimo Magliabechiano e Vasari), e poi in altre fonti successive fino al 1810, quando, con la soppressione napoleonica del convento francescano, le ante furono trasferite nei depositi del Convento di San Marco. Da qui, nel 1814, arrivarono ormai smembrate alla Galleria dell'Accademia, dove erano esposte in ambienti separati. Secondo i documenti dell'epoca, lo smembramento avvenne proprio a San Marco tra il 1812 e il 1813, quando vennero rimosse le "prospere", cioè gli stalli lignei. A quell'epoca risalgono anche le attuali cornici lignee dorate.
Quattro dipinti, immessi sul mercato antiquario, sono oggi in Germania, alla Gemäldegalerie di Berlino (Pentecoste e Resurrezione del fanciullo) e all'Alte Pinakothek di Monaco (Prova del Fuoco, la Morte del cavaliere di Celano).
Le storie sono così composte:
Storie di san Francesco d'Assisi
Francesco rinuncia ai beni del padre
Papa Innocenzo III vede in sogno Francesco sostenere la basilica Lateranense
Papa Innocenzo III approva la Regola francescana
Apparizione di Francesco sul carro di fuoco
Prova del Fuoco (Alte Pinakothek di Monaco)
Presepe di Greccio
Morte del cavaliere di Celano (Alte Pinakothek di Monaco)
Francesco predica davanti a papa Onorio III
Francesco appare al Capitolo di Arles
Francesco riceve le stimmate
Morte di Francesco
Resurrezione del fanciullo (Gemäldegalerie di Berlino)
Martirio dei francescani a Ceuta
The panels surely decorated a wooden piece of furniture in the sacristy of Santa Croce in Florence, perhaps a cupboard for relics. The earliest mention of the cabinet dates back to the 16th century (Anonimo Magliabechiano and Vasari), and then in other later sources until 1810, when, with the Napoleonic suppression of the Franciscan convent, the doors were transferred to the storerooms of the Convent of San Marco. From there, in 1814, they arrived by then dismembered at the Accademia Gallery, where they were displayed in separate rooms. According to documents of the time, the dismemberment took place precisely at St. Mark's between 1812 and 1813, when the "prospere," or wooden stalls, were removed. The present gilded wooden frames also date from that time.
Four paintings, placed on the antiquarian market, are now in Germany, at the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin (Pentecost and Resurrection of the Child) and the Alte Pinakothek in Munich (Trial by Fire, Death of the Knight of Celano).
The stories are composed as follows:
Stories of Saint Francis of Assisi
Francis renounces his father's property
Pope Innocent III sees Francis supporting the Lateran Basilica in a dream
Pope Innocent III approves the Franciscan Rule
Apparition of Francis on chariot of fire
Trial by Fire (Alte Pinakothek in Munich)
Nativity of Greccio
Death of the Knight of Celano (Alte Pinakothek in Munich)
Francis preaches before Pope Honorius III
Francis appears to the Chapter of Arles
Francis receives the stigmata
Death of Francis
Resurrection of the Child (Gemäldegalerie, Berlin)
Martyrdom of the Franciscans in Ceuta
