The Daniel O'Connell Bridge that crosses the Manuherikia River. We later learned that it was originally constructed between 1879 and 1880 and by the early 1900's the bridge’s timber transoms and stiffening truss had degraded. They were replaced with steel equivalents in 1905. It is now recognised by Heritage New Zealand as a Category 1 historic place.I

This lovely artwork graces the transom above the door of the Abandoned Relik Co., located in the former First National Bank building on Front Street in downtown Buchanan, Michigan. The penny-farthing or ordinary, the first machine to be called a bycycle, was popular in the 1870s and 1880s.
The Grade I Listed Lyveden New Bield, (sometimes called New Build), an unfinished Elizabethan summer house, which is now owned by the National Trust. It is located close to the village of Aldwincle in Northamptonshire owned by the National Trust.
It was constructed for Sir Thomas Tresham, the fervent Roman Catholic of Rushton Hall, and is thought to have been designed by Robert Stickells. The New Bield was on the estate of Tresham's second home, Lyveden Manor House, also known as Lyveden Old Bield.
New Bield has a religious design full of symbolism. Designed on a plan reminiscent of a Greek cross, the facades have a strict symmetry. The building has two floors above a raised basement, with mullioned and transomed windows. Each floor had three rooms with a staircase in the south projection of the cross. The exterior of the building is decorated by friezes of a religious nature. The metopes contain the emblems and motifs found also at the triangular lodge, such as the "IHS" christogram.
The house had a great hall and parlour on the first floor, kitchen and buttery in the basement, and a bedroom on the upper floor. However, it was probably never intended for full-time occupation. Too close to the main house for use as a hunting lodge, it may have been intended for use as a "Secret House"—keeping a secret house was a custom of the 16th century. Often within a mile of the main house, the secret house was a place where the head of the household would retire for a few days with a minimum of servants, while the principal house was thoroughly cleaned and, bearing in mind the sanitation of the time, fumigated.
Sir Thomas Tresham died in 1605 following decades of religious persecution, his once vast wealth having been severely depleted. His son Francis Tresham inherited the estate, but within the same year, along with his cousins Catesby and Wintour, he became involved in the Gunpowder Plot. Thus, within a year the estate had a third owner, Francis's son Lewis Tresham. The estate was managed by Lewis's mother until her death in 1615. After this, Lewis Tresham, a spendthrift, lost the remaining family wealth. The estate was eventually sold following the death of his son in 1643.

"These arms of King Charles II of England once adorned the stern transom, or ‘counter’, of the English flagship the Royal Charles. The vessel was captured by Dutch forces in 1667 at its home port of Chatham, near London, and towed over the North Sea to the Netherlands, where it was scrapped. The counter decoration was preserved to commemorate this extraordinary Dutch triumph and England’s defeat."
In 1667, the stern carvings, which until now had been displayed in the Philips Wing of the Rijksmuseum, was seized from the English in a spectacular fashion by Michiel de Ruyter. At the time, the Dutch were at war with the English and although peace talks had begun, the Republic decided to pressure King Charles II of England, in order to speed up the negotiations. The Dutch fleet therefore sailed to Chatham, where the English fleet was anchored, sunk several ships and took the Royal Charles, the pride of the English fleet, to the Republic as booty.
Soon after, in 1673, the Royal Charles was sold for scrap, and at the end of the 19th century, the Navy gave the counter to the Rijksmuseum, where it has been on public display ever since. When the main building of the Rijksmuseum reopens in spring 2013, the counter will be displayed in the 17th century maritime gallery.
The ceremony with which the counter was handed over. Historian Richard Holdsworth tells about the Dutch attack (In Dutch, some English)

Parham House.
A traditional stone E-shaped Elizabethan mansion, built in 1557 with an impressive aspect and towering mullioned and transomed windows in the Great Hall. An excellent collection of portraits of English Tudor and Stuart monarchs and their courts, plus some of their European contemporaries.
The fishpond and deer park predate the Tudor house, while the pleasure gardens are 18th century.

In the hail and snow and rain and the Fiercely Cold Wind, I took the perpetual ferry across Het IJ from the Central Station to North Amsterdam. Moored there is "De Souverein", a replica of a Spiegelretourschip, a Transom Return Ship, such as sailed for the Dutch East Indies Trading Company in its heyday. "De Souverein" measures 59 by 7,20 metres, and is thus rather larger than the ships of the seventeenth century, which seldom measured more than about 42 metres. It's hard to imagine how a crew and passengers lived for many months on these ships, crowded in with commercial products, livestock, and victuals. Philipp Franz von Siebold - see yesterday's photo - was one of the people who braved ships like this one.
But contemplating "De Soeverein" and the windblown daffodils I recalled William Wordsworth (1770-1850), and "... my heart with pleasure fills / and dances with the daffodils."
I just got back from a few days on the Sunshine Coast, which fortunately lived up to its name...
I'm feeling very mellow.

TREMENDOUS TRANSOM
Gorgeous transom and reflection at the Herreshoff Classic Yacht Regatta 2024. Bristol, RI
Built in 1919, this Renaissance Revival-style cottage features a red brick exterior, side gable roof with gabled parapets at the front wall dormer and side walls with a stone cap, replacement windows, stone lintels and sills, a front porch with brick columns and a brick pier, roman lattice railing, stone railing caps, hipped roof with decorative exposed rafter ends, triangular brick panels on the columns, and a concrete floor and steps, a first floor front picture window with a transom, a concrete base, and an aluminum awning at the second-story front wall dormer window. The house is a contributing structure in the Ritte’s East Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.
Loved everything about this place. Don't know what type of business it was originally. Loved the old yoke and the old Texas Farm Truck license plates in the window. Most were from the 1950s but the one on the far left was from 1938. I'm guessing it was built late 19th century or early 20th century. I even like how they broke down and removed some of the transom windows to install an a/c unit at one time. Nice work with the bricks and those beat up front doors.....
New stained glass transoms that I designed for our entrance and our neighbour's based on stained glass panels in other houses of the same vintage in our hood (Cabbagetown, Toronto). These incorporate red, blue and white opal flashed glass, along with a row of bubbled amber panes, mouthblown green glass and various colours of opalescent rippled glass and cast glass "jewels" in random colours around the perimeter. The two central red jewels are faceted on one side.
The panels were made by John Wilcox of Vitreous glassworks in Toronto. He restored the stained glass at the Royal Ontario Museum and does a lot of new work on our projects. Brilliant guy. You can see more of his work here vitreous.ca/

At 50 Washington Street in Boydton, Virginia is this late Victorian home. It has a 3-bay porch with a double-door entry complete with sidelights and a segmented transom. The porch roof supports are square posts with panels and brackets at the junction of roof and support. The porch window is arched with the upper portion composed of small panes of colored glass. A small diamond-pane attic window is on the front gable; the two side gables contain lunettes for attic lighting. There are scrolled brackets under the eaves and pairs of brackets under the porch overhang. The house is a very pale blue with red and darker blue trim.
When I first photographed the house, I was unable to get an acceptable frontal view and the color seems very pale compared to this. This house is in the Boydton Historic District. [VDHR ID: 173-5001-0070]

What-did-I-do?
I crafted a pair of operable Doors from cutting apart and merging Old Recycled Factory Windows, then lengthen them, to make doors that mounted to a Door Frame (Jamb) of Steel Flat Bar- that also supported a Transom, that I was asked to re-make to conform to "horizontal-lines"
the adjacent window-wall "Windows" would create,
surrounding their enclosed Kitchen Zone (Area).

The story behind the picture: Traveling Australia, while my husband tried to get the car exhaust fixed I wandered around taking photographs of some of the old buildings, many deserted. The car was eventually mended with a bush mechanic's "part": a drinks can, both ends removed, "fitted" & wired on over the cracked exhaust (much admired by later mechanics). I feel this design has potential use as a theatre backdrop &/or wallpaper.
