The original school structure on Second Street consisted of converted homes that dated from the 1830's. These "brownstones" were torn down in 1935 and replaced by the current five story yellow brick building.
With the new 1936 opening, the student population more than doubled. It was the anticipation of this increase in enrollment and consequent tuitions that had guaranteed the loan for the new structure.
2021 New Year's Card is a gatefold structure using 24# Southworth parchment paper.Text: Happy New Year – Calibri Body; 2021 – Bookman Old Style; With the Promise of Spring! – Lucida Calligraphy. Image: Emerging buds from an azalea bush in our front yard. This year I had in mind to make a New Year’s card that not only celebrated the beginning of the coming new year, but also had a hopeful bent. I waffled some on structure and even tried some structures which would have meant that I would be sending out New Year’s cards for St Patrick’s Day cards! (which I blush to admit I did perhaps 25 years ago!). Settled on a basic gatefold with a very basic text. The last part, finding the image, was a bit more difficult. For the 2018 card I used the image of a cedar branch from the neighbor’s tree across the street. So I started looking for interesting flower buds – the promise of spring – on our twice daily walks. And finally settled on the buds on one of the azalea bushes in our front yard.
All comments and tips for improvements are always welcome.

WESTLAKE - It took sixty-four Los Angeles Fire Department Firefighters more than two hours in largely defensive operations, to access and confine heavy fire on both floors and within the attic of apparently vacant and boarded 3,248 square foot two-story Craftsman-style home that had been converted at some earlier time into a residential duplex. During the fierce firefight against stubborn flames late November 4, 2023, an adult male civilian exited the still burning structure with 3rd degree burns to both legs. In critical condition, he was provided immediate care at scene and during transport a regional burn center by LAFD Paramedics. No other injuries were reported. Due the the 117 year-old wood framed structure's instability, LAFD Heavy Equipment was summoned to abate physical hazards. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Some extension into the woods, defensive operations on an abandoned structure.
The Rotor programme was developed to advance the wartime radar technology in detecting and locating fast-flying jets. It was approved by the Air Council in June 1950. The first stage of the programme, Rotor 1, was to technically restore existing Chain Home, centrimetric early warning, Chain Home Extra Low and Ground Controlled Interception Stations and put them under the control of RAF Fighter Command. There were three main components to the Rotor Stations: the technical site, including the radars, operation blocks and other installations; the domestic site, where personnel were accommodated; and the stand-by set house, a reserve power supply. The technical site for RAF Neatishead Rotor Station was located at TG 346 184. Crew were accommodated at RAF Coltishall and the stand-by set house was located at TG 342 200.
The two main constructions at Rotor stations were the operations block and guardhouse. Operations blocks were the largest structures built at Rotor stations. They were constructed of reinforced concrete and designed to withstand 2,000lb bombs. The outer walls and roof of the Rotor operations blocks were 9ft 10in thick and the internal walls between 5.9in to 1ft 11in metres wide. The exterior was coated with an asphalt damp course and surrounded by a 5.9in brick wall. The roof was usually flush with the ground surface and up to 14 ft 2in of earth was mounded on top. The operations blocks, identified by a 'R' prefix, contained technical equipment, domestic facilities, workshops and a plant for air conditioning and gas filtration, all within a single complex.
Four of the blocks (R1-R4) were underground constructions designed for the more vulnerable sites on the east and south-east coasts. Others were semi-submerged (R6) or above ground (R5, R7-R11) heavily protected structures built to withstand 1,000lb bombs. The guardhouses were designed to resemble ''bungalows''. They were single-storey buildings capped with a flat, concrete roof, above which a pitched roof contained water tanks. They were generally constructed of brick, but were built to blend in with the local architectural style. The guard rooms also contained an armoury, store, rest room and lavatories. Those associated with underground operations blocks featured a projecting rear annex that housed a stairwell leading down to an access tunnel.
Aerial photography from 1965 shows the R3 operations bunker at the site, as well as a Type 13, a Type 7 and four Type 14 radar plinths. A range of ancillary buildings survive. The area is part of an active base and museum. In March 1947 the station was established as a Sector Operations Centre. Between 1961 to 1963 the station was reduced to care and maintenance and was then reopened as a Master Radar Station. A fire in 1966 destroyed the underground operations complex and the station was closed until 1974 with a new data-handling system occupying the original Happidrome. In 1994 the Air Defence Radar Museum opened at the site, which also continues to serve as an operational base.
Personal experience of working at Neatishead communicated by email states ''I was posted there as a sgt in 1973 and it was fully operational, T85, T84, HF200 and more all working. Furthermore, the other half of my Locking entry was posted there in 1971 and all worked on the operational radars, txs and rxs. I left in 1976 and visited again in 1977. T85, stuff of legends, 60Mw with all 12 Txs running''. Detailed history of the 50 years of the founding of RAF Neatishead 1941-1991. R30 operations room, R12 Radar equipment building and R3 underground operations block; Listed. For the designation records of this site please see The National Heritage List for England. Decommissioned 2006 and sold. Feb 2013, 25 acres of the site were again sold. The Air Defence Radar Museum was not part of the sale.

Baranów Castle is located in Baranów Sandomierski in south-east Poland. The castle is one of the most important Mannerist structures in Poland. The castle is known as the "little Wawel";. According to Polish law, it is a "class zero monument";. Originally, a residency of the Lubomirski family, it nowadays serves as a museum, hotel and conference centre. The castle was built around the years 1591–1606 for Rafał and Andrzej Leszczyński in the style of Polish Mannerism with richly decorated attics, side towers and arcade courtyard. It is believed to be the work of a famous architect, Santi Gucci, the court artist of king Stephen Báthory. In about 1620 the castle was surrounded by bastion fortifications and in 1625 the chambers were adorned with early baroque decorations executed by the eminent stucco decorator Giovanni Battista Falconi.
