If someone were to apply for National Register status for this building in Chinook, Oregon, the application might read something like this:
Summary Statement of Significance
The house at 692 is a well preserved example of a late 19th century vernacular Queen Anne cottage, representative of domestic architecture commonly erected in small towns and rural communities of the Pacific Northwest during the period of settlement and consolidation circa 1885 to 1905. Modest in scale yet rich in detail, the building embodies the characteristic adaptation of national architectural fashions to local materials, craftsmanship, and economic realities.
The house is a one and one half story wood frame dwelling with a steeply pitched intersecting gable roof clad in composition shingles. Its asymmetrical massing, front facing gable, and projecting porch align it squarely with the Queen Anne idiom, while the restrained ornamentation reflects the vernacular interpretation typical of non urban contexts. Particularly notable is the decorative shingle work in the front gable, arranged in a scalloped pattern and framed by delicately sawn bargeboards, which provides the primary decorative focus of the facade.
The full width front porch, supported by turned posts with ornate scroll cut brackets, remains intact and retains its original proportions and relationship to the main block of the house. The porch serves both as a transitional architectural element and as an expression of late Victorian domestic ideals emphasizing sociability and engagement with the street. Fenestration consists of vertically oriented double hung wood sash windows with simple surrounds, consistent with the period and largely unaltered. The front entrance retains historic fabric, including a paneled door with colored glass lights, adding a subtle yet distinctive decorative accent.
In form, materials, workmanship, and design, the house exhibits a high degree of integrity, with no major alterations that compromise its historic character. Later changes, such as roofing material replacement and minor exterior maintenance, are compatible and reversible, and do not detract from the buildings overall significance.
A noteworthy survival is the presence of early exterior storm windows, top-mounted and hinged, with their original metal attachment hardware intact and clearly visible.
This type of storm window—designed to be propped open at the bottom during warm weather for ventilation—was widely used in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as a practical response to seasonal climate variation, predating mechanical cooling. Their continued presence provides rare physical evidence of historic domestic practices, illustrating how occupants balanced insulation, airflow, and comfort using passive means.
Unlike later replacement storms or interior storm panels, these exterior units retain their historic mode of operation and relationship to the primary sash, contributing meaningfully to the building’s integrity of materials, workmanship, and feeling. The survival of both the storm windows and their operating hardware underscores the house’s high level of authenticity and careful stewardship over time.
The property is significant under Criterion C of the National Register of Historic Places as a representative and intact example of vernacular Queen Anne residential architecture. It illustrates the diffusion of architectural styles through pattern books and builders traditions, as well as the aspirations of middle class homeowners at the turn of the twentieth century. As such, the house contributes meaningfully to an understanding of regional architectural development and domestic life during a formative period in the area's history.

What could be more fashionable than a single white tail feather ? It's a bold statement by any means, and I'm sure he's the talk of the bird world.
The white tail feather is actually Leucism which is caused by uneven distribution of melanin in the feathers.
One wonders what went through the mind of the good citizens of Arundel (West Sussex) when they planned their new Town Hall. Most of the town centre consists of substantial dwellings in the Regency, Georgian and Victorian styles with a few timber-framed buildings in between. There is also, of course, a massive castle dating back to Norman times. But the new Town Hall of around 1900 is really something else - a kind of hybrid of the Porta Nigra in Trier and the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. If this is the architectural expression of self-confidence, it is a rather noisy one.
a young boy stands captivated in front of a store, his gaze fixed on the edgy trinkets and eccentric accessories inside. framed by vibrant neon lights, the shopfront offers a glimpse into a world far removed from the ordinary. inside, the shopkeeper observes, waiting for a spark of curiosity to lead the boy inside to explore a universe of bold self-expression. this is not just a store—it’s a portal to rebellion, where fashion transcends norms and becomes a statement of individuality.

I was amazed to see this, although maybe I shouldn't have been since it's the second one I've seen in Newquay. Registered as an FS Lublina 07 and imported in 2017. 72,000km at the last MOT. I like things like this. Compared to a modern van it has a functional and honest look about it rather than something which is trying to make a fashion statement whilst (according to people I know who own them) being a nightmare of high costs and unreliability. I've no idea how reliable this would be, but I bet it's easy to repair.
ZUK production ran from 1958 to 1998. In latter years the company was owned by Daewoo.

Last Friday, my sorority put on a captivating Vampire-themed fashion show called "Vampire En Vogue." As pledges, we were tasked with curating outfits for four distinct categories: Bikini, Formal, Lingerie, and House Pride. This post showcases my first ensemble from the series – the edgy "Gore" bikini line by Spoiled, perfectly paired with their statement thigh-high boots featuring a unique vertebrae heel. I kept the accessories minimal, opting for a delicate nose ring from LittleFish and a chic necklace by Kibitz. The ensemble was completed with Spoiled's "Skully Hand" gloves. The striking makeup look was a collaborative effort by Warpaint, Adored, and Jack Spoon. The pose was expertly choreographed by OMY.
Outfit:
- Spoiled - Gore bikini set
Shoes:
- Spoiled - Gore thigh-high heeled boots
Accessories:
- Spoiled - Skully Hand ornaments
- Kibitz - Dangling spider necklace
- LittleFish - Mina nosering
Okay, so it's a spiderweb. But if that doesn't look like something an actress would wear to the Oscars, I'll eat my hat. The photo quality isn't exactly what I'd like, but I don't have a macro lens, so it's heavily cropped.

Whatever ones opinion about "Religion" as expressed by the
Catholic Church in Europe, there most certainly was no
limit on Ornamentation as an expression of Holiness.
Modernism?, certainly not.
Impressively ornate and beautiful to view- that's for sure.
Cathedral Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Terco e Caridade built 1755 -1759, Rua de Cimo de Vila 36 C Porto Portugal.
Facing West, on a very narrow, curiously "sketchy-looking" inclined street not far from The Historic Sao Bento Train Station in PORTO, this church
now is used to feed the homeless and poor.
Many of the small shops that line Rua de Cimo de Vila,
are an eclectic mix of
Old-School Leather-Craftsman,
Indian Barber-Shops,
"Indian" (Bangladeshi/Pakistani/Nepalese/ Indian )
Halal Butches and Grocers,
and several Restaurants frequented by
mostly Indian men, serving tasty Samosa, Chai
and other dishes that you'll see being eaten
"by hand" (literally), a dining technique that
many Westerners find......off-putting
yet in India and Africa,and Indonesia- how they roll.
