Lothian Gay Switchboard Halloween Ceilidh
The Assembly Rooms are in central Edinburgh. Originally solely a meeting place for social gatherings, it is now also used as an arts venue and for public events, including the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and the Hogmanay celebrations. There are four rooms that are used year-round and are available for private functions: Music Hall, Ballroom, Supper Room and Edinburgh Suite. The building is protected as a category A listed building as "an outstanding example of the late 18th century public building, continuing its original use"
The Assembly Rooms opened on 11 January 1787 for the Caledonian Hunt Ball. The building was funded by public subscription, costing over £6,000. The prominent site at the centre of George Street, in the centre of the recently established New Town, was donated by the town council. The Assembly Rooms was designed by John Henderson, a local architect, who died young shortly after the building was completed.
The building was extended several times during the 19th century. In 1818 a portico was added by William Burn. Burn and his partner David Bryce designed the Music Hall in 1843. Finally, in 1907, new side wings were completed to designs by Robert Rowand Anderson and Balfour Paul. [Wikipedia]

Library - old telephone switchboard.
---------------------------------------------
Built in 1852 by John Robinson Hamilton, Queen’s Council and Bonaventure County Deputy in the Lower Canada Assembly from 1841 to 1844, this neo-classical English manor house was constructed in a style very unusual for Québec. The four chimneys and eight fireplaces have certainly added to the building’s heritage value. The Manoir Hamilton is the only example of Palladian architecture in the Gaspésie, proudly echoing the influence of Andrea Palladio, the renowned Italian Renaissance architect. A tour of the Manoir, its every room filled with furniture, carpets, old books, paintings and period dishes, will transport you directly to the 19th century, when the Gaspésie was prime Loyalist territory. The kitchen still boasts a traditional bread oven and the original hearth, complete with trammel.
The house was empty for 11 years until the new owners purchased it and are returning it to its original glory. Yvonne and Dennis had a visit through the house for free by the owner (wife).

No name written on the back. Printed in Dallas TX. Dated by printer January 1959. I keep looking at the stove in the next room, and it is a reminder of how dedicated these phone operators were during that time. The clock reminds me of a clock we had back in that era. I do wish I could make out the calendar to see how soon after the photo was taken that the film was sent off to develop.
I sure wish I had that stove, though.
Milang Station Building (now the Milang Historical Railway Museum)
Opened 1884
Closed 1970
Reopened 1991
Still going strong.
The town, Port Milang, was a large river port in Australia growing from its beginning in 1854 when it was first surveyed. At the zenith of its prominence, more goods and cargo passed through the town than any other port in South Australia.
In 1884, construction of the railway to Milang was completed. The station building was established at that time having, it is thought, come from Tarlee.
Within the station building you will find relics of those early days. The Morse key which was used by the station staff to communicate with the outside world. The telephone switchboard which formed the heart of Milang’s own private communication system. The bicycle used to deliver parcels and knock up local train drivers for their early morning shifts.
In 1972, much of the railway complex, including the buildings and track, were sold by tender. The station building went for a reported $39 to a local farmer who moved it to his property. After two further moves, it ended up on a house block in the town.
In 1991, a low loader was used to move the station 500 metres back to its original site. Hydraulic jacks were used to raise and lower the building onto the newly constructed platform. It was then restored by the volunteers, back to its original condition.
This home built in 1916 in Rockvale was the residence of Ada Rowland, Switchboard Operator for Home Mutual Telephone Company. She was the first Switchboard Operator in Rutherford County. In the earliest days of telephones, switchboards were placed inside the Operator's home so she could place a phone call any time day or night.
Ada's home, along with the switchboard inside, were moved to Cannonsburgh Village in Murfreesboro. This Village is a collection of historic structures from the Rutherford County area moved to this spot as part of America's Bicentennial in 1976. Cannonsburgh is the original name of Murfreesboro.

I had a lunchtime dentist appointment in midtown Manhattan the other day, and when it was over, I decided to walk a couple blocks over to Bryant Park, behind the New York Public Library. It was a sunny day, and I thought I might see some gorgeous babes sunbathing on the park lawn in their bikinis (even being an amateur photographer is a tough job, but someone's gotta do it). If not, I thought perhaps I'd find some photogenic tourists or oddball New Yorkers that I could photograph.
As it turns out, almost all of the central lawn was being covered over with some kind of wooden platform -- presumably for an upcoming concert performance of some kind -- so nobody was sunbathing out on the grass. But since that area was unavailable, and since it was still the lunchtime period, the periphery around the central lawn was chock-a-block with people. There's now a cafe immediately behind (i.e., to the west) of the library itself, and it was doing a land-office business. And all along the north and south sides of the park, as well as the broader western side, there were tables and chairs and benches where people could enjoy their lunch with whatever food or entertainment they had brought along.
I was already aware of the pentanque court on the western side of the park, and knew that I'd find one or two good pictures there. But I didn't realize that the Parks Department had set up two ping-pong tables, as well as several tables for chess-players. In addition, there were a few card games underway, and there was also a section set aside for people who wanted to borrow local newspapers to read.
As for the people: I had to remind myself that because Bryant Park is smack in the middle of mid-town Manhattan (a block away from Times Square, filling the square block between 41st/42nd street, and 5th/6th Avenue), most of the people enjoying their lunch were office workers. So the men typically wore slacks and dress shirts, and a surprising number of them were also wearing suits and ties. The women wore dresses and skirts, and generally looked quite fashionable and presentable. Of course, there were also tourists and students and miscellaneous others; but overall, it was a much more "upscale" bunch of people than I'm accustomed to seeing in my own residential area on the Upper West Side.
I was surprised by how many people were sitting alone -- eating alone, reading alone, listening to music alone, dozing alone, or just staring into space alone. You'll see some of them in this album, though I didn't want to over-emphasize their presence; equally important, many of the loners just weren't all that interesting from a photogenic perspective. So you'll also see lots of couples, some children, a couple of families, and occasionally larger groups of people who were eating and chatting and enjoying the warm summer day.
Three activities dominated the scene, all of which were fairly predictable, under the circumstances: eating, reading, and talking on cellphones. You would expect people to be eating at lunch-time, of course; and you wouldn't be surprised at the notion of people reading a book as they sat behind the New York Public Library on a warm, sunny day. But the pervasiveness of the cellphones was quite astonishing ... oh, yeah, there were a few laptops, too, but fewer than I might have imagined.
I've photographed Bryant Park several times over the past 40 years, going back to some photos of 1969 Vietnam War protest marches that you can see in this album. I was here in the summer of 2008 to take these photos; I came back in January 2009 to take these photos of the winter scene; and I returned again for these pictures in March 2009 and these these pictures in the late spring of 2009; all of these have been collected into a Flickr "collection" of albums that you can find here. But if you want to see what New York City's midtown office workers are doing at lunch, take a look at what's in this album.
Notes: The Powerhouse was built in 1925 by the Katoomba Municipal Council as a coal fired generator to supply electricity to North Katoomba, Medlow Bath and Blackheath. It was powered by two Bellis and Morcom steam driven generators. Coal was supplied from the mine where the Scenic Railway is now situated.

In 1872 R. M. Albery purchased a run down saw and feed mill just south of Covington, OH on the east bank of the Stillwater River.4 R.M. updated and upgraded the mill and it became a showplace in the area.
R.M. had three sons, Martin, Morris, and Richard Jr. They became interested in a newfangled thing called electricity and coaxed R.M. into buying the “Falls Electric Company” at Greenville Falls in 1897.
A new and larger water wheel, alternator, switchboard equipment, raceway and dam were installed. It was also found necessary to install auxiliary steam plant to provide electricity in the summer months when the water level was low in Greenville Creek.
They took turns operating the plant which was a twenty-four hour, seven days a week job. They improved the power lines into Covington which had arc burning type street lights at that time.
Falls Electric Company and dam
With the improved service, the use of electricity grew by leaps and bounds. Electric light lines were extended to farmers at the edge of town so soon they were pumping their water and grinding their feed by motors instead of by hand. Farmers further away learned of this and were anxious for a line to them also.
To build miles of rural electric line was something new and a hazardous undertaking for such a small concern. R.M. and his boys felt that such a investment required too much for their pocketbooks, not withstanding the merits of such a program. In 1912, an eastern public utilities concern headed by a Mr. Robinson became interested and purchased the entire property. The new owners had considerably more financial backing and they re-named the concern “The Buckeye Light & Power Co”. R.F. continued on as general superintendent.
The following years of expansion were hectic and replete with trials and some disappointment. Starting with the 1913 flood, R.F. was the last man to cross the covered bridge before it was washed away by the floodwaters of the Stillwater River. Upon arriving at the power plant at Greenville Falls he was greeted by water in the raceway spilling over into the boiler room. He ran down the inside stairway and slammed the door behind him. Already the water gushing could be heard against the door but fortunately it held and the alternators and equipment were saved from flood damage. After the high waters receded the stairway was found full of coal which had washed down from the boiler room.
After a menial, hasty cleanup job was completed an auxiliary power line was installed across the Stillwater River due to the original line going down with the covered bridge. In spite of all this, electric service was interrupted only a few days.
Several months later the large driving belt broke in two between the eight foot in diameter pulley on the water wheel and the electric alternator. With no load to pull, the water wheel revolved like mad and the large steel pulley on its shaft flew apart. The impact tore the front end of the powerhouse away with a deafening roar. The night attendant on duty, Wilbur Harry, thought the world had come to a end. Fortunately he was not injured. A neighboring farmer jokingly claimed his chickens laid nothing but cracked eggs for the next two weeks.
With the addition of many large electric motors replacing the steam or gas driven engines at the creamery, sawmill, and other shops in Covington a new problem posed. This additional electric load was too heavy for the power plant to carry satisfactorily. In fact, the large electric motor at the sawmill would cause the lights all over town to flicker as the power saw started through the log. R.F. had to ask Bill Drees, the sawmill operator if he couldn’t nurse the saw along when starting the cut through the log. With Bill’s permission, he took the sawmill controls over briefly and from his own sawmill experience showed Bill what he wanted.
It was quite evident that a larger power supply must be provided. A larger hydro-electric plant was immediately built along side the old one. This was of modern type with the electric alternator directly connected to the water wheel shaft. No belts to break this time!
Some interesting sidelights to this new plant construction are recalled. Will Furnas, the carpenter foreman, lost his footing on the scaffold and fell thirty feet into the icy water below. Although sustaining a broken leg, he swam unaided to shore still clinching a stogie cigar in his mouth. Bill lived in Covington after his retirement.
A stump was dynamited from the raceway to provide a wider channel. Old “Cheese” Swartz miscalculated the dynamite charge and the big stump sailed about a hundred feet into the air and descended through the ice house roof. The air was also filled with “Cheese’s” violent invictives.
With this additional electric power the demand was met and more expansion was planned. Farmers were still clamoring for electric lights and power. R.F. approached his boss, Mr. Robinson, with the proposition of building rural electric lines. “It isn’t a paying proposition for the investment R.F.” was his answer. However R.F. got permission to talk the proposition over with farmers. After several meetings, a plan was agreeable to both parties whereby the farmers would assume a portion of the rural line investment to offset the lack of revenue from country lines to that received in town. The company attorney, J.H. Marlin, now deceased, and R.F. Albery established the first contract, to my knowledge, for rural electrification in Ohio. This took place in 1921.
Hundreds of farmers in the Stillwater valley enjoyed the service and satisfaction from this public utility long before others throughout the state and nation. Of course there were larger electric power companies in Ohio but they were reluctant to venture any capital in this field due to the smaller revenue in return for their investment. After the Buckeye Power and Light Company made a financial success of it’s rural electrification, other companies soon followed suit.
The water dam at Greenville Falls was raised several feet and a surplus power was gained during the rainy seasons. This surplus power was sold to Dayton, Covington, and Piqua traction lines which operated its own power plant at West Milton by steam power.
A high voltage line power line was built from West Milton to Dayton to secure the resources of the Dayton Power and Light Company. When a surplus at Covington was available it was metered and sold to the Dayton Power and Light Co. and when needed at Covington and West Milton it was likewise received through the same power line. This provided a very stable system and eliminated the need of a steam power at the Covington plant during the low water stages.
In spite of all the pioneering, trials, and errors, the Buckeye Light and Power Company was prosperous and continually paid an 8% dividend to its stockholders. Such earnings did not go unnoticed. In 1927 a Chicago concern became interested enough to make an offer of purchase that could not be turned down. The stockholders of Buckeye Light and Power Co. were quite pleased to learn that their $100 per share par value of stock were purchased at $285 each.
The new owners headed by the Insull interest of Chicago further expanded the properties. Power lines were built to the Greenville electric power plant which also supplemented the services. R.F. continued with this new company, supervising all power line construction.
After several years the Insull financial bubble burst and the company was reorganized and changed hands again. On February 4, 1948 it was purchased by the Dayton Power and Light Company, who was already interested in its services and has maintained ownership to the present time.
The old sawmill and plants water wheels no longer turn. Their years of service have been retired and supplanted by the power lines from the giant modern steam turbines of the Dayton Power and Light Company.
In silence these properties proudly stand today as monuments to men of strong hearts and courage. Their mute evidence marking another milestone of yesteryear’s service in Ohio’s constant march of progress.
In April of 1967, The Dayton Power and Light Company announced plans to donate 126 acres of land to the village of Covington, OH, including the Greenville Falls area.
After several years of holding the land, The village donated the land to the State of Ohio, Department of Natural Resources in the late 1980s.

There is absolutely no way you can go wrong on this one. Of course 15 years ago people did not give a damn about technology. Even if that meant technology like electrical appliances that you operated everyday like your fan & tube lights at home. That explains why the "T" & "F" markings with chalk are on the switches. How do i know? Because i lived in a house that had the same and i personally used to scribble on switches with my pen :-P
You have a feeling of operating something, something solid when you used these compared to the sleek and puny little ones you have now.

"Linton Apartments (also known as Le Linton) is an apartment building in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is located at 1509 Sherbrooke Street West in the Golden Square Mile neighbourhood of Montreal.
Le Linton was designed by Samuel Arnold Finley and David Jerome Spence. Its construction began in 1907 and the building was completed in 1908. It has 10 floors and is 31.63 metres tall. The building is considered to be of beaux-arts architecture. Its facade is made of terracotta and the ornamentation is made of baked clay.
Montreal's largest apartment building upon completion, the Linton appealed to well-to-do tenants as a substitute for a large house requiring servants, which were becoming increasingly difficult to find, at the time. The building offered such services as a dry cleaner and caterer, and featured such then-modern amenities as an elevator, central heating, electric doorbell, telephone switchboard and dumbwaiter.
The Golden Square Mile, also known just as the Square Mile (officially in French: Le Mille Carré, also le Mille carré doré) is the nostalgic name given to an urban neighbourhood developed principally between 1850 and 1930 at the foot of Mount Royal, in the west-central section of downtown Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The name "Square Mile" has been used to refer to the area since the 1930s; prior to that, the neighbourhood was known as 'New Town' or 'Uptown' The addition of 'Golden' was coined by Montreal journalist Charlie Lazarus, and the name has connections to contemporary real-estate developments, as the historical delimitations of the Golden Square Mile overlap with Montreal's contemporary central business district.
From the 1790s, the business leaders of Montreal looked beyond Old Montreal for spacious sites upon which to build their country homes. They developed the farmland of the slopes of Mount Royal north of Sherbrooke Street, creating a neighbourhood notorious for its grandeur and architectural audacity. At the Square Mile's peak (1850–1930), its residents included the owners and operators of the majority of Canadian rail, shipping, timber, mining, fur and banking industries. From about 1870 to 1900, 70% of all wealth in Canada was held by this small group of approximately fifty men.
By the 1930s, multiple factors led to the neighbourhood's decline, including the Great Depression, the dawn of the automobile, the demand for more heat-efficient houses, and the younger generations of the families that had built these homes largely moved to Westmount. During the Quiet Revolution, some of the businesses created in Montreal, on whose fortunes the Square Mile had been built, moved to Toronto.[citation needed] In this period, the Square Mile evolved to gradually become the central business district, and many of its grand houses were demolished. The face of the Square Mile was altered, leading to the formation of Heritage Montreal to preserve architecture in the city.
By 1983, only 30% of the mansions in the northern half of the Square Mile had survived demolition; and only 5% survived south of Sherbrooke Street. Many of the remaining mansions, such as the James Ross House, today known as Chancellor Day Hall, are today owned by McGill University. Nevertheless, the mansions of the Golden Square Mile represent a prosperous period during which Montreal was the cultural and financial capital of Canada.
Montreal (/ˌmʌntriˈɔːl/ MUN-tree-AWL; officially Montréal, French: [mɔ̃ʁeal]) is the second-most populous city in Canada and most populous city in the Canadian province of Quebec. Founded in 1642 as Ville-Marie, or "City of Mary", it is named after Mount Royal, the triple-peaked hill around which the early city of Ville-Marie is built. The city is centred on the Island of Montreal, which obtained its name from the same origin as the city, and a few much smaller peripheral islands, the largest of which is Île Bizard. The city is 196 km (122 mi) east of the national capital Ottawa, and 258 km (160 mi) southwest of the provincial capital, Quebec City.
As of 2021, the city had a population of 1,762,949, and a metropolitan population of 4,291,732, making it the second-largest city, and second-largest metropolitan area in Canada. French is the city's official language. In 2021, it was spoken at home by 59.1% of the population and 69.2% in the Montreal Census Metropolitan Area. Overall, 85.7% of the population of the city of Montreal considered themselves fluent in French while 90.2% could speak it in the metropolitan area. Montreal is one of the most bilingual cities in Quebec and Canada, with 58.5% of the population able to speak both English and French.
Historically the commercial capital of Canada, Montreal was surpassed in population and in economic strength by Toronto in the 1970s. It remains an important centre of commerce, aerospace, transport, finance, pharmaceuticals, technology, design, education, art, culture, tourism, food, fashion, video game development, film, and world affairs. Montreal is the location of the headquarters of the International Civil Aviation Organization, and was named a UNESCO City of Design in 2006. In 2017, Montreal was ranked the 12th-most liveable city in the world by the Economist Intelligence Unit in its annual Global Liveability Ranking, although it slipped to rank 40 in the 2021 index, primarily due to stress on the healthcare system from the COVID-19 pandemic. It is regularly ranked as a top ten city in the world to be a university student in the QS World University Rankings.
Montreal has hosted multiple international conferences and events, including the 1967 International and Universal Exposition and the 1976 Summer Olympics. It is the only Canadian city to have held the Summer Olympics. In 2018, Montreal was ranked as a global city. The city hosts the Canadian Grand Prix of Formula One; the Montreal International Jazz Festival, the largest jazz festival in the world; the Just for Laughs festival, the largest comedy festival in the world; and Les Francos de Montréal, the largest French-language music festival in the world. It is also home to the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League, who have won the Stanley Cup more times than any other team." - info from Wikipedia.
The fall of 2022 I did my 3rd major cycling tour. I began my adventure in Montreal, Canada and finished in Savannah, GA. This tour took me through the oldest parts of Quebec and the 13 original US states. During this adventure I cycled 7,126 km over the course of 2.5 months and took more than 68,000 photos. As with my previous tours, a major focus was to photograph historic architecture.
