Located on the foothills of the Slieve Bloom Mountains, the former Castle Bernard is a landmark structure in the area and enjoys commanding views across the surrounding countryside. This striking castle was built c.1833 by the Pain Brothers, important advocates of the Gothic Revival in Ireland and architects of Mitchelstown Castle. An immense edifice, it displays architectural motifs typical of the style including tall chimneystacks, gabled elevations, castellated towers and parapets, battered walls and labels to windows. Indeed the castle has not merely undergone Gothic Revival styling but instead is a celebration of the style. Built for T. Bernard Esq., the estate played, and still does, an important role in the economic development of the nearby village of Kinnitty. The castle was burnt by retreating republicans in July 1922 but was rebuilt with compensation and further improved and embellished. Now in use as a hotel, the interior survives much altered. The tenth-century high cross to the front site of the castle contributes an archaeological significance to the site.
Detached Tudor style four-bay two-storey over basement with attic storey former country house, built c.1833, with octagonal castellated three-stage corner tower to south-west and projecting entrance porch. Incorporating earlier castle. Burnt in July 1922 and subsequently rebuilt. Pitched slate roofs to gabled front elevation bays with tall moulded limestone chimneystacks, decorative finials to gables and cast-iron rainwater goods. Ashlar limestone walls with castellated parapet, carved limestone plinth course and continuous string course to parapet. Battered walls to basement level. Square-headed window openings with tooled limestone and sandstone label mouldings, chamfered surrounds and punched limestone sills. Castellated box bay to second bay from north-east rising from basement level to first floor with chamfered stone mullions. Oriel window above entrance added at later date. Single-storey castellated entrance porch with diagonal buttresses surmounted by pinnacles with crockets and finials. Tudor arched opening to porch with label moulding accessed rendered porch with ribbed ceiling, niches to side walls and tooled limestone bell surround and post box flanking door. Square-headed door opening with chamfered limestone surround and label moulding, sandstone threshold and timber double doors. Tenth-century sandstone High Cross to front site. Wrought-iron double gates with spear head finials and ha ha wall to front site.
Several architectural features are visible in a stretch of North-South wall forming the West side of a courtyard at the rear of the 19th century house known as Castle Bernard. There are 3 windows inserted into this wall one of which is a plain rectnagular flat headed window, the other two are twin light mullioned ogee headed windows one of which has an external hood-mould visible. It is not clear if these features are original to this wall or if they were taken from the medieval church in the village of Kinnitty and inserted into the courtyard wall of Castle Bernard in the nineteenth century. A hole was dug in the South-East corner of the courtyard at the rear of the 19th century house known as Castle Bernard in 1982. The hole revealed traces of a human burial which may have belonged to a burial ground although no evidence for other burials was revealed in the sections of the excavated hole. Inside this hole there was evdience for an earlier wall at a depth of 0.58m of a possible building underneath the 19th century courtyard wall.

Further to the west on the spit are the buildings of the second phase. The most distinctive structures built during this phase were the two Vibration Test Buildings, now commonly referred to as ‘The Pagodas’ (National Trust buildings E2 and E3). The specification for the Vibration Test Buildings included the ability to withstand the accidental detonation of 400lbs (181.4kg) of high explosives; they were designed by G W Dixon ARIBA for the UK Atomic Energy Authority and are identical. Both Vibration Test Buildings, their control room and centrifuge were constructed in 1960.
They comprise a large reinforced concrete central cell 16.47m (54ft) by 7.30m (24ft) covered by a massive reinforced concrete roof supported on sixteen reinforced concrete columns. To the south and east of the main chambers are self-contained plant rooms. The main access to the building is from the south through an entrance passage which was originally sealed by a pair of outward opening metal covered wooden doors. On its western side, adjacent to the main entrance passage is a blocked doorway that led to a small staff room and toilet. Inside the buildings on the eastern side of the passageway one set of stairs gives access down to the main test cell and another to a walkway around the top of the chamber. At the end of the passageway is a lift pit, which allowed test pieces to be lowered on to the floor of the main test cell. To assist in manoeuvring heavy objects there are a number of substantial steel eyelets screwed into the underside of the roof. A travelling crane also ran on rails mounted on a ledge beneath the windows, a loose plate on the floor recorded ‘Becker twin Lift Maximum Working Load 40 tons serial A-2647-2’.
The floor of the main cell is formed of parallel and narrowly spaced steel ‘I’ section beams for test rigs to be firmly secured to the structure. To either side are cable ducts. At the same time as being vibrated objects might also be placed in jackets to simulate extremes of heat and cold, or in a portable altitude chamber to mimic the effects of altitudinal changes. Set into the north wall are seven steel plates with vertical cruciform slots that were also used for securing tests rigs or monitoring equipment. Below these are eight pipes opening from the service passageway to the north. In the south wall are three steel plates with horizontal slots, above the plate is stencilled 1-27ft and below it 1-7.5m. The walkway around three sides of the cell was originally protected by a handrail and there is another handrail fixed to the main wall. Running around the wall is a cable conduit and attached to the wall are various pipes for carrying electrical wires, switches, junction boxes and pressure gauges. Signs on the wall above the lift pit record ‘Telephone Instrument Room’, ‘Vac Pump Running, Vac Pump Stopped’ with associated light fittings. At the north east corner of the cell is a doorway to the rear service passage running east to west along the north side of the building. To the east a flight of stairs gives access to the eastern plant room. To the west another set of stairs provides access to the northern side of the lift pit, the upper walkway and to an emergency escape passage through the north side of the traverse. To the south of the main cell are free-standing Burwell brick-built plant rooms. The main plant room is entered through two sets of double doors on its south side, internally are four machinery mounting plinths. Attached to its west wall is a metal cabinet that probably housed equipment to operate the hydraulic compressor for the internal lift. At the eastern end of the building is a store room with a blocked doorway to the south.
1933 Shanghai is an art deco structure that was built as an abattoir (slaughterhouse) in...1933.
It is architecturally stunning for its use of light. It was designed with western and Chinese influences in mind and actually follows the Chinese feng shui principle. The exterior is designed in Roman basilica (where square represents 'earth' in feng shui) whereas the interior has many more circular designs (to apply the "round universe" aspect of feng shui theory).
Architecturally, the building is known for its umbellate ("flowering") columns, "air bridges" (which were all built at different widths to facilitate passage of certain cattle), an atrium, a cattle walkway (only for use by cattle), spiral (and standard) staircases, and lattice windows.
At the time of construction, 1933 Shanghai was one of only three abattoirs of this size in the world. It is the only one of the three still standing.
It is located in the Hongkou district just north of downtown Shanghai, China.
