<p>The Palace of Linares  is a palace located in Madrid, Spain. It was declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 1976.</p><br>
<p>According to the rumour mill in Madrid, Linares Palace lock up the ghosts of the first Marquis de Linares, like that of a child, their daughter. According to this legend, José de Murga y Reolid would have confessed to his father, the rich merchant Mateo Murga y Michelena, he fell in love with a poor girl, Raimunda Osorio, presumably daughter of a cigarette seller. By knowing your father the name of the young, horrified, he would have sent his son to London in order to make him forget that young lady. The reason for his fear would be given by the fact that humble girl would have been the fruit of extramarital love by Mateo himself and therefore both lovers were half brothers.</p><br>
<p>The legend places Mateo died and the young newlyweds. In such a situation José would have found a letter from his father addressed to him in which he explained the reasons for his opposition to such a relationship. Jose and Raimunda, aware of the incestuous sin allegedly committed, would have been addressed to Pope Pius IX, who eventually would have granted a papal bull called Casti convivere, that is, to live together but in chastity. However, the love they have made them overlook their relationship half brothers and have engendered a daughter, who allegedly murdered as a child to avoid a scandal. Such daughter, Raimundita would have been walled or drowned and buried in the palace itself and, according to this legend, today, her spirit paces the great halls of the old palace singing children&#39;s songs and calling their parents.</p><br>
<p>The Church of Our Lady of Montserrat  is a Baroque-style church located in Calle San Bernardo, Madrid .</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>It was founded by Philip IV to host the Castilian monks from the Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey (Catalonia) who came fleeing the Catalan Revolt. The Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey was the main Benedictine center of Catalonia and had belonged to the Castilian jurisdiction of Valladolid since 1493, when Ferdinand II of Aragon sent 14 monks from Valladolid and made the abbey dependent on the congregation of this Castilian city. The Catalan monks, were unhappy that their abbot was almost always Castilian, and took the opportunity of the Revolt to oust the Castilian monks.</p><br>
<p>Work on the building did not begin until 1668, during the reign of Charles II, and was under the direction of Sebastián Herrera Barnuevo. The finance for the construction was provided by the illustrious Baron of Gilet, in the Kingdom of Valencia, Pedro Arnaldo Llansol de Romaní, following his elevation to Marquis of Llansol in 1690. The facade is clearly somewhat influenced by the famous Church of the Gesù of Vignola in Rome and is considered one of the most complex and elaborate buildings of the Madrilenian Baroque.</p><br>
<p>To save the unevenness of the street, Herrera placed on a high base three narrow bodies with larger and smaller bodies pressed together. The pillasters are of Doric style, unfolding frequently. After the death of Herrera in 1671, Gaspar de la Peña will continue with the work without finishing the chancel and the main facade. The works will be abandoned until 1716 that takes Pedro de Ribera at the beginning of his career. Ribera respected the initial facade although redecorated the door and windows. It can see the difference between windows of Herrera and of Ribera and comparing the classic window of the central attic with the rest, adorned with tufts, scallops and other Riberan elements.</p><br>
<p>In the absence of the initial plans, it is unclear whether the two towers that were initially were contemplated, were due to Herrera. Anyway, its construction did not begin until 1729, starting with the tower of the side of the epistle, and in 1731 switched to lift the first body of the opposite side, concluding only the first in 1740. Characteristic work of the decorative dynamism of Pedro de Ribera topped with singular spire, giving the set the personality and harmony enough to enter in the history of Madrid&#39;s architecture. At its top is open on each side two semicircular windows flanked by striking estipites. The roof of the slate is crowned with a washer, a cap with a decorative bulb and the said spire, completed by a world globe with a cross.</p><br>
<p>The temple only has at present the nave of the feet and its chapels. The remaining bases inside the monastery allow to recreate the plant of a great church that did not become complete. Various reasons were unable to gather the enormous resources to continue a work as ambitious. It missed build the great dome of the cruise, the header and the sacristies. Its current enclosure was made in 1986. The stylistic approach of the nave corresponds to an advanced stage of the Spanish Baroque of 17th century, consisting the Ribera&#39;s contribution in the ornamental coating.</p><br>
<p>The July 25, 1835 a decree of the Queen abolished all religious houses with less than twelve religious. Montserrat was closed along with other thousand Spanish monasteries and convents. The monastery became in 1837 in prison for womens with the nickname of Casa Galera, with which it became known during the 19th century In 1851 part of the monastery and church it gave to Sor Patrocinio and their Conceptionist nuns, who were expelled in 1868. In 1918 the church was ceded to the Benedictine monks of Abbey of Santo Domingo de Silos. The August 1, 1922 seven monks of Silos opened to worship the north nave of the church and in 1928 the entire church. The Spanish Civil War abruptly interrupted the life of the community. The monks sought refuge in friendly houses, the Popular Front became the church in ballroom. Three monks were taken to the Model Prison, then to Alicante and saved their life. Four other monks were martyred. In 1939 again six monks of Silos occupy the monastery and in 1953 also delivers the rest of it that had been occupied by the womens prison. In 1988, during the Priory of Norberto Núñez, culminates a complete restoration of all the buildings under the direction of architects Antón Capitel, Antonio Riviere and Consuelo Martorell.</p><br>
<p>Antonio Palomino indicates that in one of its chapels it kept a wooden crucifix work by Alonzo Cano, transferred during the Napoleonic invasion to the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, which in 1891 it ceded to the Capuchins of Lecároz, Navarre. It also had a beautiful painting of Antonio Fernández Arias, given by the Duchess of Monteleón, representing the pharisees in the time of filing to Jesus the denarius. This painting is now in the Prado. Another image, highly revered in this house was that of Our Lady of Suffering.</p><br>
<p>Currently has some artistic works of merit, highlighting a large canvas anonymous of the 18th century of curious Immaculate iconography and the sculpture of the head Virgin, attributed to Manuel Pereira. At the foot is a copy of the Christ of Burgos, popular sculpture of the 18th century. Like its model, the image has at its feet an ostrich eggs which, according to tradition, was an offering of a rich merchant of the Americas. In the novel "Miau" of Benito Pérez Galdós is told the fear imposed by this picture with its hair of natural hair. The paintings of the vaults, stories of the life of Saint Benedict, were made in the early 18th century by Pedro de Calabria who also it commissioned the shields beneath the choir and a large painting of St. Basil, lost.</p><br>
<p>In its enclosure was buried the writer and Comendador of the Order of Calatrava, Luis de Salazar y Castro, whose very valuable archive is preserved in the monastery until 1835. At suppress it the monastery deleted those 49 volumes of documents its were taken to the Real Academia de la Historia.</p><br>
<p>Long ago it was customary to give a shout with the bells every day of the year in the evening, for the soul of Philip IV, as this is the time when it were told to the Benedictines the founder&#39;s death.</p><br>
<p>Known as "el montserratico" is a construction according to Professor Bonet is not architecture to be described and photographed, but to be seen. Currently the temple it occupy the Burgalese Benedictine of Santo Domingo de Silos, taking the condition of priory.</p><br>
<p>The Provo Third Ward Chapel is a historic building located in Provo, Utah. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 2, 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>Under the direction of Bishop Thomas N. Taylor, the Provo 3rd Ward chapel was completed in 1903, exemplifying one of the first English Parish Gothic churches in Utah. The building was designed by architect Richard C. Watkins, native of Provo. The cornerstone was laid in a ceremony on April 25, 1901. An adjoining amusement hall was built in 1913, and the entire interior was redone in the late 1930s under the direction of architect Fred L. Markham.</p><br>
<h3>History</h3><br>
<p>In 1901 the recently formed Provo Third Ward of the Utah Stake was responsible for the construction of a new chapel. Using primarily local materials and locally employed workers, Bishop Thomas N. Taylor, also the mayor of Provo, and his building committee composed of Arthur Dixon, Edgar Perry, and H. J. Maiben, undertook the project. The cost of the new building was $11,000 and it was completed in 1903. The chapel received an organ that had been used in the Provo Tabernacle in 1907. The adjoining amusement hall was added in 1913, but only the top floow was finished at an additional cost of $15,000. In 1926 the lower floor of the amusement hall was completed for an additional $5,600. The Provo Third Ward Chapel and Amusement Hall served not only as a chapel for worship, but also provided the Saints with a place to interact socially in forms of dance, musicals, sports, etc. During World War II the amusement hall was transformed to serve as army barracks for Army Specialized Training Units associated with Brigham Young University.</p><br>
<h2>Current use and ownership</h2><br>
<p>The building was eventually vacated by the LDS Church in the year 1979 and sold. Subsequently it has been used for various purposes including serving as the "Ivy Tower" dance club which was a tri-level club playing 3 different genres of music between 1989 and 1992. Head DJ Michael (MIDIhead) Babbitt was one of the clubs more outgoing performers who went on to produce music and subsequently win The American Synthpop Award in 2001. Other occupants included Scampis restaurant and private academies. Since 1992 it has been owned and operated by the Discovery Academy a private school for trouble youth. The Provo 3rd Ward Chapel was designated to the historic Provo Landmark register on April 28, 1995.</p><br>

<p>Jebel Aabeby is an archaeological site approximately 2 km southeast of Sidon, to the west of the road north to Qraye in Lebanon. The site is on a hill where a number of Cedar trees surround the Mar Elias monastery on the western side of the summit. A Heavy Neolithic assemblage of flint tools made by the Qaraoun culture was collected from some Olive terraces bordering on the road and from an area above them that was disturbed in the construction of a trackway. The flint was of a brown, Nummulitic, Eocene type, some having been patinated to white while others were found fresh. Several broad blades were found along with heavy scrapers on flakes, massive cores, rabots, racloirs and a few smaller scrapers. The material now stored in the Museum of Lebanese Prehistory was studied by Henri Fleisch, who concluded that the site was likely used as a prehistoric factory.</p><br>
<p>The Manowar and Rocky Islands Important Bird Area comprise two small islands in the Wellesley Islands group, lying in the south-east of the Gulf of Carpentaria and part of the state of Queensland, Australia. They are important for breeding seabirds.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The islands have a collective area of 51 ha and lie about 40 km north-west of Mornington Island, the largest of the Wellesley Group. The climate is monsoonal with a hot wet season from December to April and an extended dry season from May to November. The islands are Aboriginal land owned by the Lardil people. The traditional name of Manowar Island is Delmerriya or Wudma; that of Rocky Island is Kalamburriya.</p><br>
<h2>Birds</h2><br>
<p>The islands have been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area (IBA) because they support over 1% of the world populations of brown boobies (up to 12,000 breeding pairs) and lesser frigatebirds (up to 7700 breeding pairs). Large numbers of Australian pelicans and smaller numbers of eastern reef egrets, ospreys and white-bellied sea-eagles also breed on the islands.</p><br>
<p>Bun Sruth is a small loch about 70 yards in length at the southeast extremity of the island of South Uist in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. It is surrounded by hills and is connected to the sea by a narrow passage between cliffs of sheer rock.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>The only access to Bun Sruth is on foot or by boat. From the sea the narrow tidal gorge is difficult to find, and difficulties in negotiating the channel can arise from the fast tidal flow and from seaweed which prevents the use of a propeller. At low tide the water level in the loch is higher than sea level, and drains over a rock shelf in the entrance, making entrance by boat impossible until the tide has risen at least seven feet. Exit by boat is thus best undertaken just after high tide.</p><br>
<h2>Wildlife</h2><br>
<p>The valley contains some ruins of croft houses, but the area is now inhabited only by sheep and wildlife. Pollock may be found in the loch, and both sea trout and salmon have been reported. Fishing vessels have been known to take shelter in the loch.</p><br>

<p>The School of Mining Engineering of Madrid  is located in calle Ríos Rosas, Madrid, Spain. It is one of the engineering schools of the Technical University of Madrid which was founded in 1971 through the integration of the Higher Technical Schools.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The mining school is older than the nineteenth-century building in which it is housed. It was founded in 1777 as the Academia de Minería y Geografía Subterránea de Almadén, located at Almadén, site of an important mercury mine, approximately 300 km south of Madrid. The curriculum was influenced by the Freiberg University of Mining and Technology.</p><br>
<p>Mercury became very valuable in the Americas in the mid 16th century due to the introduction of amalgamation, a process that uses mercury to extract the metals from gold and silver ore. Mercury was exported to the Americas, although there was also a source of mercury in Peru.</p><br>
<p>As Spain was impacted by the loss of its South American colonies, and the increasing economic importance of coal, Almadén became less appropriate for the site of a national mining school. It was relocated to Madrid in the 1830s.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>It was designed by Ricardo Velázquez Bosco. Like some other buildings by this architect, it features ceramic decorations by Daniel Zuloaga.</p><br>
<p>It was declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Cybele Palace , formerly the Palace of Communication  until 2011, is a palace located on the Plaza de Cibeles in Madrid, Spain. Currently the seat of the City Council, it opened in 1919 as the headquarters of Correos, the Spanish postal and telecommunications service. It was designed by Antonio Palacios and Joaquín Otamendi.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Like the eighteenth century fountain in front of it, the palace has become an emblematic monument of the city.</p><br>
<p>However, since 2007 it no longer serves its original function. There is a post office in part of the building, but Correos headquarters has moved to Campo de las Naciones and the Postal and Telegraphic Museum to Aravaca. Now it is the seat of the Madrid City Council. The mail sorting office has been converted to serve as the council chamber.</p><br>
<h2>Conservation status and access</h2><br>
<p>Palacios is seen as a modernist architect, but his work is also of interest for its historical references, for example to the work of Rodrigo Gil de Hontañón.</p><br>
<p>As the Palacio de Comunicaciones, the building was given a heritage listing (Bien de Interés Cultural) in 1993.</p><br>
<h3>Access</h3><br>
<p>As well as the city hall, the building houses a cultural centre called CentroCentro.</p><br>
<p>The central tower has a viewing point (mirador), a terrace from which visitors can view the city.</p><br>
<p>The Archbishop&#39;s Palace of Alcalá de Henares  is a palace located in Alcalá de Henares, in the Community of Madrid, Spain. It is now home to the Diocese of Alcalá de Henares. It is located in the Plaza del Palacio and this form part of the monumental set declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO.</p><br>
<p>The building set dating from 1209. Two thirds were destroyed as a result of a devastating fire in 1939, during the Spanish Civil War. Is preserved is what is left intact after the 1939 fire, the damaged parts were not restored.</p><br>
<p>In this building came to reside different Castilian monarchs, were held synods and councils, and in here were born the youngest daughter of the Catholic Monarchs and future queen of England, Catherine of Aragon, and the German Emperor Ferdinand, son of Joanna "the Mad". In addition, it is famous for being the place where was performed the first meeting between the Catholic Monarchs and Christopher Columbus.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>First it was a Mudéjar fortress commissioned in 1209 by Archbishop Rodrigo Ximénez de Rada (1209-1247), as a temporary residence of the archbishops of Toledo (Alcalá belonged to the archdiocese) and hence its name. It has suffered several fires and destructions, and has been remodeled several times to the present.</p><br>
<p>In the Archbishop&#39;s Palace were held the Courts in 1348 and was enacted the Ordinance of Alcalá, in that was unified the administration of justice to all the lands that formed the Crown of Castile.</p><br>
<p>In 1308 the kings Ferdinand IV of Castile and James II of Aragon met here to agree and sign the Treaty of Alcalá de Henares by which were distributed the territories obtained to al-Andalusian Taifas during the Reconquista.</p><br>
<p>Also in the 14th century, Archbishop Pedro Tenorio (1377-1399) rebuild the building fortifying it. He built a parade courtyard, rectangular, of more than 2 hectares. Surrounded by a walls with 21 towers; all rectangular less the albarrana of pentagonal, and the attached to it a semicircular plan. Currently are 16 towers, highlighting the "Tower of Tenorio" nominated in memory of the Archbishop.</p><br>
<p>In the 15th century, Archbishop Juan Martínez Contreras (1423-1434) build the east wing, decorated with large Gothic windows, the Anteroom and Hall of the Councils. The latter two were connected by a large túmido arc (in pointed horseshoe), and covered by a formidable Gothic-Mudéjar coffered ceiling.</p><br>
<p>On 20 January 1486, here was held the first interview between the queen Isabella I of Castile with Christopher Columbus to finance the trip to the Indies.</p><br>
<p>In 1524 Archbishop Alonso de Fonseca y Ulloa (1523-1534) commissioned to the architect Alonso de Covarrubias the construction of the west wing, with its courtyards and its magnificent staircase. His successor, Cardinal Juan Pardo de Tavera (1534-1545), finish the work.</p><br>
<p>Throughout its existence it housed in its inside the archives of the diocese of Toledo. Subsequently its facilities were used for the custody of the Notary Clerks and the Judicial revenue. And from 1858 to 1939 was the Central General Archive of Alcalá de Henares.</p><br>
<p>Given the saturation of the Archivo de Simancas and its distance to the Court of Madrid, was determined the creation of the Central General Archive in 1858 in the Archbishop&#39;s Palace after its assignment to the State for this purpose by Archbishop Cirilo de Alameda y Brea (1857-1872). This Archive received documents from the ministries and agencies suppressed following the reform of 1834. After the regulatory deadlines it forwarded the documents to the National Historical Archive, until on August 12, 1939 a fire destroyed the Central General Archive. Its successor, from 1969 is General Archive of the Administration (AGA), also in Alcalá de Henares.</p><br>
<p>Currently, from 1991, it is the seat of Bishopric of Alcalá de Henares, and residence of the bishop.</p><br>
<h3>Disastrous fire of 1939</h3><br>
<p>The Archbishop&#39;s Palace was barracks of tanks and ammunitions, both during and after the Civil War, when, for the failure to prevent flammable materials that were there there was a big fire. It was not the first suffered in its long history, but one of the most voracious, because it destroyed much of the buildings and of the documentation kept there three centuries.</p><br>
<p>Among the artistic treasures that were lost in the Archbishop&#39;s Palace are: the Mudéjar coffered ceiling of the Hall of Councils, the monumental staircase of Covarrubias -author of the façade-, the courtyard of Fonseca, the courtyard of the Hallelujah, the facade of the courtyard of the Ave Maria, paintings, and the first archaeological museum of the city.</p><br>
<h2>The building</h2><br>
<p>The building has undergone numerous constructions and rehabilitations, being especially devastating the fire of August 11, 1939, which destroyed two thirds of its structure: three courtyards ("the Fonseca" or "the Covarrubias", "the Hallelujah" and the "of the Fountain" or the "Small garden"), the "Staircase of honor", the "Facade of the Ave Maria", which was of Herrerian style and the "Garden of the Vicar". A rehabilitation of the less damaged parts was completed in 1996 and was necessary.</p><br>
<p>Currently has 16 towers, highlighting the "Tower of Tenorio". Entering through the parade courtyard, appears the Renaissance main facade of the building. It is divided into two bodies, being the low of ashlar, with two floors of Plateresque windows that joins an upper gallery of gemanates arches. On the central window is a Baroque coat of terracotta, which replaced the imperial of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor. The blazon is of the Cardinal-Infante Luis Antonio of Bourbon, son of Philip V, first Bourbon replacing the Habsburg dynasty. This courtyard is closed at south by a cast iron grille, made in Belgium in the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>In the east wing, where was the "Hall of Councils", was done in the 19th century a major restoration in its exterior and interior by Juan José Urquijo y Manuel Laredo, following the Neo-Mudéjar style. In 1997 was opened the restored neo-Gothic chapel that replaces the missing Hall of Councils. In the lower floor has made a modern auditorium, replacing the "Hall of the Queen Isabella".</p><br>
<h3>Missing elements</h3><br>
<h2>Antiquarium museum</h2><br>
<p>In the Archbishop&#39;s Palace it were again rebuilt several parties burned, others were restored, and still continue rescuing parts of those gems. Through the Tower XIV it can access the Antiquarium and visit some of those aforementioned remains, which have recreated partially the galleries of the Ave Maria, the large Courtyard of Fonseca and the Staircase of Covarrubias.</p><br>
<p>For decades held in Alcalá the representation outside of the play "Don Juan Tenorio" by Zorrilla, in several Alcalás monuments, and one of it is always the Archbishops Palace, even some year has staged exclusively there.</p><br>
<p>The Antiquarium is an outdoors museum placed in the inside of the walled enclosure and accessible through the fourteenth tower.</p><br>
<h2>Toponymy</h2><br>
<p>The Archbishop&#39;s Palace owes its name to that Alcalá de Henares for eight hundred years belonged to the jurisdiction of the archbishops of Toledo, who were also the primates -the most preeminents- of all Spain, and that here had their residence. This made that Alcalá de Henares was always at the center of religious power, which for centuries was also synonymous with the political.</p><br>

Other monarchs used it as a temporary residence, for example, the Catholic Monarchs, so here was born their daughter Catherine of Aragon (who would be queen of England as wife of Henry VIII of England).

<p>The Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción  is a church and parish in Meco, Spain. The church was added to the Bien de Interés Cultural registry in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The church is thought to have existed before 1487, and part of the present church is known to have existed in 1568. Ambrosio de Morales recounts the arrival of the relics of Santos Justo y Pastor on their journey from Huesca to Alcalá de Henares. Some sources date the church&#39;s founding to 1548. Cantabrian architect Juan Ribero designed it from its conception to its completion before his death in 1598, and installed the tiles in the main chapel.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>There is a clear influence from Diego de Siloe on Riberos plant, columns and cover style, evident in de Siloes 1528 Granada Cathedral. Ribero&#39;s church features Gothic columns and ribbed vaults.</p><br>
<p>The rectangular floor plan is divided into three parts (naves) of equal height, with the central nave wider than the surrounding two. The naves are separated by thick columns, topped with classical cornices and capitals. On them rest the late-Gothic roof ribs, with liernes over the aisles.</p><br>
<p>The first four sections of the church are stone. The dome and altar are brick, with limestone trim at the corners. There are four buttresses on each side. The 18th-century section of the dome was designed by Teodoro Ardemans, chief architect of Philip V.</p><br>
<p>The cupola was built by Feliciano, Julian and Casimiro Cornejo, who built churches near Madrid, Toledo and Guadalajara in the second half of 18th century.</p><br>
<h2>Interior of the Temple</h2><br>
<p>Next to the current input are two pools brief renaissance on Ionic pillars. The right aisle is dominated by the altarpiece of Santa Rita, baroque gilded Corinthian columns that flank it. Eight angels in various attitudes are at the top center space. On the altar, a painting depicting St. oval Pastor. On one side of the nave is the altar chapel dedicated to the Virgen del Carmen, with a gate of the 17th century and neoclassical altarpiece.</p><br>
<p>The Chapel, dedicated to the patron of the temple has a beautiful gilded altarpiece restored in the first decade of the century. The image of the Virgin, who occupied the center, and some angels disappeared because, at the beginning of Spanish Civil War (1936–39), suffered the ravages of people from the Popular Front government side. The whole is crowned by a great boost Trinity Baroque. At the bottom, under the niche they occupy the Assumption, a group formed by the Santos Justo y Pastor and another with the Church Fathers, St. Augustine and St. Gregory. Superb size, movement, and polychrome paintings reminiscent of Salzillo in Murcia. In the previous altarpiece of 1537, late Gothic style, there were 12 panel paintings that allude to the life of the Virgin and Jesus, of which 6 are preserved. It measures 1.20 m X 1 m approximately and all are works of Juan Correa de Vivar, which have been restored and declared of cultural interest. The tables are: the Annunciation, the Visitation, the Adoration of the Shepherds, Adoration of the Kings (here recognizes Charles V as King Gaspar), Veronica and The Descent.</p><br>
<p>The tabernacle used today is gold with enamel to reproduce the front of the Romanesque altar of Avia.</p><br>
<p>The wall of the left aisle there is another baroque altar dedicated to Mary Immaculate, angels fit the typical image. On the altar, on the wall we find another pair with the oval on the other side with a picture of San Justo. Below is the Sacristy keeping rich ornaments of worship.</p><br>
<p>In the nave are a 16th-century chapel closed with great wrought-iron railings. The left side of the chapel is occupied by a marble tomb that pervades the family crest and a Latin inscription: "Kidnapped by death", closed under marble lies Dr. Juan Gutierrez, besides the bones of their relatives. Was enlightened man in letters, adorned with all her doctrine. On the floor are two tombstones, one alluding to the same Doctor Juan Gutierrez Sanz, "father of the chapel, where he celebrated the feast of the Immaculate Conception over forty years and offered a lamp and founder."</p><br>
<h2>Pictures of the church</h2><br>
<p>The Palace of Canto del Pico  is a palace located in Torrelodones, Spain. It was declared Private property in 1930.</p><br>
<h2>Construction and location</h2><br>
<p>The palace was built between 1920 and 1922 for Abárzuza, Conde de las Almenas III. It is located on the peak of a granite mountain, 1,011 metres above sea level. It covers 100 acres. Parts of it remain carved into the rock, such as stairs and balconies.</p><br>
<h2>Initial ownership</h2><br>
<p>The Count used the palace to store all his treasures. He accumulated these and there are rumours that some many have been stolen from cathedrals. Financial difficulties forced him to sell the treasures for 2 million pesetas to a US buyer</p><br>
<p>The prime minister Antonio Maura died there by falling down a flight of steps.</p><br>
<h2>Civil War usage</h2><br>
<p>It was used as the headquarters for the Republican Army during the Spanish Civil War. Indalecio Prieto and Jose Miaja used it as their base to organise the Battle of Brunete. After the war Franco lived there for many years.</p><br>
<h2>Recent years</h2><br>
<p>The palace has suffered heavily from looting and vandalism over the years, and a fire destroyed many of the remaining artworks in 1998. This led to it receiving a reduced classification in 2004. A hotel company bought it in 1988 intending to convert it into a luxury hotel. Planning permission was refused for the hotel in 2013 due to the building&#39;s value as a cultural monument</p><br>
<p>The Church de San Andrés  is a church located in Madrid, Spain. It was declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 1995.</p><br>
<p>It is located on the site of a former church from the times of Moorish occupation. The former church had been frequented as a parish church by the patron saint of Madrid, San Isidro Labrador, and his wife Santa María de la Cabeza, who lived nearby.</p><br>
<p>The adjacent chapel of San Isidro was built at the site of the saint&#39;s house. Its construction began in 1657, after the saint was canonized in 1622. Further reconstructions were performed in 1663 and 1669, and later in 1783 and 1789. The initial construction in Baroque style was fashioned by José de Villarreal, and later Pedro de la Torre and Juan de Lobera. Much of the internal decoration, including paintings, were destroyed during the Spanish Civil War.</p><br>
<p>The Cathedral of St Justus and St Pastor in Alcalá de Henares  is a Roman Catholic cathedral located in Alcalá de Henares, Spain. It was declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 1904.</p><br>
<p>The Carrillo archbishop (1446-1482), rises the church to the rank of collegiate church. At the time of Cardinal Cisneros (1495-1517) he was awarded the title of "Master" and the current building is designed, constructed between 1497 and 1515 in late Gothic style typical of this stage. The tower was built between 1528 and 1582.</p><br>
<p>In 1904 the Cathedral was declared National Monument. During the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) the church is burned losing virtually all its treasures, saving some bars and some chairs from the old choir. In 1991 the diocese of Alcalá restored and is elevated to the status of cathedral-master, Diocese Complutense recovering that which was from the 5th century until 1099</p><br>
<h2>Exterior</h2><br>
<p>The exterior of the temple is simple and austere. The walls are covered by molding type Segovia. They emphasize the cover of the western facade of Flamboyant Gothic style, in which central medallion depicted on Saint Ildefonso; and the tower, designed by Rodrigo Gil de Hontañón and Rodrigo Argüello, in herrerian style, with a height of 62.05 meters. Top is a beautiful spire tower slate.</p><br>
<p>The cathedral has a severe seventeenth century cloister arches between pilasters. Soils appear covered by Renaissance carpets from nearby convents. In one of the walls the grave of Cardinal Cisneros remains.</p><br>
<h2>Interior</h2><br>
<p>The building&#39;s interior is divided into three naves covered by cross vaults resting on pillars fasciculados. The overall shape of the building resembles the traditional Latin cross with marked transept. The entire building suffered much in that fire, and countless works of art and objects of great historical, devotional and sentimental value were lost. Today the temple houses apart from its religious functions, an interpretive center and the Cathedral Museum.</p><br>

<p>The Hospital of Maudes  is a former hospital located in Madrid, Spain.</p><br>
<p>It is a complex of buildings including a church. The buildings are linked apart from accommodation for infectious diseases.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The building is faced in white limestone. The eclectic architecture presents some similarities to the Cybele Palace, which was designed by the same partnership. For example, both buildings present a skyline dominated by towers. In the case of the Hospital de Maudes, the towers of the church are particularly prominent, but there are towers elsewhere in the complex.</p><br>
<p>The church has an entrance directly onto the street, but otherwise the complex is surrounded by a wall. There are some garden areas which were intended to aid the recuperation of patients. The design of the courtyards is possibly influenced by the Hostal dos Reis Católicos, a building with which Palacios, who was born in Galicia, would have been familiar.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Maudes was the name of the locality in which the hospital is situated. It was also known as the hospital of the jornaleros, day labourers, being</p><br>
<p>intended for the use of the poorer classes of Madrid.</p><br>
<p>After the Civil War it became a military hospital. It fell into disuse in 1970. The property, apart from the church, was subsequently acquired by the Community of Madrid.</p><br>
<h2>Conservation</h2><br>
<p>It was declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 1979. It has been renovated by the Community of Madrid.</p><br>
<p>The centenary of the building was celebrated in 2016 with guided visits and concerts.</p><br>
<p>The Church of San Nicolás  also known as the church of Church of San Nicolas de Bari, or the Church of San Nicolas de los Servitas, is Catholic parish church in central Madrid, Spain.</p><br>
<p>The church dates back to medieval times, although it has been much altered over the centuries. The building was declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 1978. Its tower was already protected, having been declared a national monument in 1931.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Church of St. Nicholas in Bari is named in the Law of Madrid of 1202 as one of the oldest parishes in the city. Today it is the oldest church in Madrid, after the demolition of the Church of Santa Maria de la Almudena. Archaeological remains suggest that the church and its bell-tower may have been part of a former mosque. It was likely constructed during the 12th century. The nave and chapels were renovated in the 17th century.</p><br>
<p>By the 19th century, this church was poor in resources and parishioners. The parish was joined to that of El Salvador in 1805. For a time, the building was abandoned till the church was ceded in 1825 to the Third Order of Servites. When the nearby church of El Salvador was destroyed in 1842, this church gained its former status as a parish church.</p><br>
<p>In the year 1891 the parish was relocated to a church that had been Anton Martin Hospital in Atocha street, today the Parish of San Nicolas and San Salvador, leaving the old building as the church of "St. Nicholas of the Servites", a name derived from the Servite Order, which still owns it.</p><br>
<p>At the end of century profile interventions have been implemented, the main one being held in 1983. In some of these interventions was the replacement of the stone, he must be very poor, in the apse, where they appreciate different finishes to the original stone.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Successive restorations that this building has undergone over the centuries have conditioned its current appearance. Built on a three naves, apse has a 15th-century, built with hewn stone from small outcrops of Upper Cretaceous, except the window is illuminated inside with granite recercada. This comes from quarried stone areas The Molar or Torrelaguna (Quarries Redueña). It also highlights the beautiful Mudejar covering the nave and the apse of the Gothic vault.</p><br>
<p>The most interesting feature of this temple is undoubtedly its tower, dating from the 12th century except the Herrerian style spire tops, made of slate for the 18th century. It has a square and is constructed of brick decorated with blind arches. The brick has dimensions of 30 x 15 cm in the lower parts, but it was the brick bell tower area are smaller and of a different hue. This tower possibly corresponds to one of the Arab minarets preserved in the city. The tower was transformed in the 14th century, when it changed the cover, which was subsequently replaced by the spire.</p><br>
<p>The church has two entrances, both with jambs and lintels made of granite. The principal is a beautiful cover Baroque carved in the 18th century by Luis Salvador Carmona where is the image of St. Nicholas in a relief. The whole façade is inserted in this cover is made of brick with a layout and dimensions very different from the rest of the building.</p><br>
<p>The other is a semicircular door, inserted in a socket façade masonry flint evolves vertically curbs brick masonry with drawers, which corresponds to the so-called "rigging Toledo", which also promptly displayed a dolomite-limestone masonry Tertiary. This front end on the upper level with three windows and a balcony on brick.</p><br>
<p>Colle Sestriere, Col de Sestriere, is a mountain pass in the Cottian Alps. It is occupied by the town of Sestriere in the Province of Turin, Italy. It is 17 km from the French border. Its name derives from Latin: ad petram sistrariam, that is at sixty Roman miles from Turin.</p><br>
<p>It is a famous starting and arrival point in the Tour de France (7 appearances, 1952 - 1999 ) and the Giro dItalia (4 appearances, 1991 - 1911). In 1952, Fausto Coppi was the first to record a stage win at Sestriere, while Charly Gaul is credited with the first crossing in 1956. Notably, it was the scene of a definitive moment in Lance Armstrongs career when he rode away from the field in a breakaway uphill finish to take the stage in the 1999 Tour de France, which was the first of his seven championships in that race. He has since been stripped of the titles.</p><br>
<p>The Museum Sorolla  is a museum located in Madrid, Spain.</p><br>
<p>It features work by the artist Joaquín Sorolla.</p><br>
<p>The building was originally the artists house and was converted into a museum after the death of his widow. Designed by Enrique María Repullés, it was declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 1962. The principal rooms continue to be furnished as they were during the artists life, including Sorollas large, well-lit studio, where the walls are filled with his canvasses. Other rooms are used as galleries to display Sorollas paintings, while the upstairs rooms are a gallery for special exhibitions. In 2014, these rooms held an exhibition of David Palacin photographs of the ballet Sorolla produced by the Spanish National Dance Company.</p><br>

<p>The West End Branch of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, located at 47 Wabash Street in the West End neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, opened on January 31, 1899. It was originally commissioned as part of Andrew Carnegie&#39;s first grant to Pittsburgh and was the third library in the Pittsburgh city system to open, following the Main Branch and the Lawrenceville Branch.</p><br>
<p>It was the eighth Carnegie funded library to open in America and only the second to have the new revolutionary policy of open or self-service shelves. The first with open shelves was Pittsburgh&#39;s Lawrenceville Branch, the sixth Carnegie library to open in America. The first five libraries to open in America, as well as the seventh, Carnegie Library of Homestead, were originally closed stack libraries where a clerk was used to fetch books for the patrons.</p><br>
<p>The West End Branch was added to the List of City of Pittsburgh historic designations on July 28, 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Hazelwood Branch of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh located at 4748 Monongahela Street in the Hazelwood neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was built in 1899. It was added to the List of City of Pittsburgh historic designations on July 28, 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Hazelwood Branch Carnegie Library left this location in mid 2004 and was reopened in a recently constructed building on Second Avenue. In 2009 and again in 2011, the branch was threatened with closure due to funding shortfalls within the Carnegie Library system.</p><br>
<p>The Branch re-opened in a third location in a renovated church on Second Avenue in June 2014 after a $2.4 million restoration doubling its original 3,500 square feet space to 7,000 square feet. The Monongahela Street structure remains vacant.</p><br>
<p>The Lawrenceville Branch of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, located at 279 Fisk Street in the Lawrenceville neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, opened May 10, 1898. It was originally commissioned as part of Andrew Carnegie&#39;s first grant to Pittsburgh and was the second library in the Pittsburgh city system to open, following the Main Branch.</p><br>
<p>It was the sixth Carnegie funded library to open in America and the very first to have the new revolutionary policy of open or self-service shelves. The first five libraries to open in America, as well as the seventh, Carnegie Library of Homestead, which opened 6 months after Lawrenceville, were originally closed stack libraries where a clerk was needed to fetch books for the patrons. The eighth to open in America, the West End Branch of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, opened January 31, 1899, would also have open stacks.</p><br>
<p>The Lawrenceville Branch was also the first library to have a dedicated Children&#39;s room. It was designed by the architectural firm Alden & Harlow, and it was added to the List of City of Pittsburgh historic designations on July 28, 2004, and the List of Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation Historic Landmarks in 1988.</p><br>
<p>Shumaker-Lewis House, also known as Virgil A. Lewis House, is a historic home located at Mason, Mason County, West Virginia. It was built about 1885, and is a two story Victorian-era frame cottage. It features a two tier Eastlake Movement style porch. It was the home of Virgil A. Lewis , the first State Historian and Archivist of West Virginia, 1905-1912. It is the headquarters of the Mason City Historical Society.</p><br>
<p>Due partially to lack of maintenance, the house is in generally poor repair and is no longer open to visitors.

<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Gold Houses, also known as the Gold Brothers&#39; Houses, are two historic homes located at Mason, Mason County, West Virginia. The two houses were built in 1908, and are 2 1/2 story, mirrored pair frame dwellings in the Queen Anne style. They feature pyramidal shaped slate roofs that curve outward to the eaves. They also have wraparound porches enclosed by a spindled balustrade with a circular roof at one corner. Also on the property are a rusticated concrete</p><br>
<p>block garage with a gambrel roof and an original privy.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>In 2004, one of the houses was set on fire by its then current occupant for what was believed to be insurance fraud, although this was never proven and no charges were ever filed. The house stood empty for a few more years, never being reconstructed and was demolished in the latter part of the decade.</p><br>
<p>The old Allegheny County Jail in downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is</p><br>
<p>part of a complex (along with the Allegheny County Courthouse) designed by H. H. Richardson. The buildings are considered among the finest examples of the Romanesque Revival style for which Richardson is well known.</p><br>
<p>The jail was built by the Norcross Brothers between 1884 and 1886 (the year of Richardson&#39;s death), and the courthouse was finished in 1888 under the supervision of Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge. The two structures are linked across Ross Street by a "Bridge of Sighs" (so called for its similarity to the famous bridge in Venice, Italy). Additions were made 19031905 by Frederick J. Osterling.</p><br>
<p>In 1892, anarchist Alexander Berkman was held here awaiting trial for the attempted murder of industrialist H. C. Frick. In 1902, condemned brothers Jack and Ed Biddle escaped from the jail with the aid of the warden&#39;s wife. (The 1984 film Mrs. Soffel, based on the incident, includes shots of the jail exterior.)</p><br>
<p>The jail and courthouse were added to the List of City of Pittsburgh historic designations on December 26, 1972. They were added to the List of National Historic Landmarks on May 11, 1976.</p><br>
<p>A new jail opened in spring 1995, and the original jail now houses the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas Family Division.</p><br>
<p>The House of the Prince  is an eighteenth-century building located in El Escorial, Spain. It was designed by the neoclassical architect Juan de Villanueva as the private residence of the heir to the Spanish throne Charles, Prince of Asturias. It was constructed in the 1770s.</p><br>
<p>The word casita is the diminutive of the Spanish word for "house". Such buildings gave their royal occupants the opportunity to escape some of the formalities of court life. The Petit Trianon at Versailles offers a French example of the phenomenon.</p><br>
<p>The building and its gardens are set in parkland.</p><br>
<h2>Interior</h2><br>
<p>The artwork inside includes a Sala de Porcelana on the upper floor. This room features jasperware plaques in neoclassical style. Reminiscent of the work of the English Wedgwood company, the plaques were made in Madrid in the 1790s by the Real Fábrica del Buen Retiro.</p><br>
<h2>Conservation</h2><br>
<p>The building was declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 1992.</p><br>
<p>Lindøy is an island in the Byfjorden in Stavanger municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. The 280 daa island lies about 4 km northeast of the city centre of Stavanger. It sits in an archipelago surrounded by the islands of Vassøy, Hellesøy, and Kalvøy. All of those islands are connected to the mainland only by boat.</p><br>
<h2>Orphanage</h2><br>
<p>The island was used as an orphanage for more than a hundred years, established by Lars Oftedal in the late 1800s. A local adage in Stavanger was that parents would tell their boisterous children to "beware, otherwise I will send to Lindøy!" The reason for the institution of Lindøy was priest and politician Lars Oftedal bought the 280 da large island in 1887. The following year opened the so-called Redningshjem og Oppdragelsesanstalt ("Rescue Home and Educational Institution") which had space for 30 "perverse and depraved boys." This was not uncommon in Norway to open such institutions on isolated islands around the country, such as Bastøy and Ulvsnesøy. Originally, the island was used by the Waisenhuset orphanage in Stavanger and it was specifically for boys who were unfit to live there in the city.</p><br>
<p>In 1896, the Storting passed the Child Welfare Act and this introduced the concept of a school. In 1900, the island was bought by the municipality and starting in 1907 there were two institutions on the island: the boarding school "Hope" on the north side in Nordvik and forced school "coercion" in Sørvik. "Hope" was the oldest, and would prove to be the longest running. To be sent to "coercion" was often caused by frequent truancy, while it was worse cases that were sent to "hope." This boarding school had room for 30 boys, while "coercion" had up to 12, and these businesses existed together until 1946.</p><br>
<p>Guardian councils were abolished by the new Child Welfare Act of 1953 and these were replaced by child welfare Commissions. A boarding school home was then renamed as a "special school". The child welfare laws were revised again in 1995 and since then, Lindøy has been purely a home for residential care for youths 18 and younger. The center was planned shut down in 2010, but the decision was changed and the institution currently serves up to 6 youths.</p><br>
<p>Oakland Square Historic District in the Central Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, contains 99 properties. The core of the district surrounds Oakland Square, with the remaining properties along Parkview Avenue and Dawson Street. The neighborhood was conceived in the 1890s by developer Eugene O&#39;Neill and were inspired by the urban design of Victorian England and Dublin. The district was added to the List of City of Pittsburgh historic designations on June 14, 2005.</p><br>
<p>During 1889 and 1890 twenty-six homes were built on Oakland Square, in the section known as Linden Grove. This was “the first big batch (of houses) to be put up in that district.” The houses were moderately priced ($6,500) and sold within a few months. These were attractive and comfortable urban homes with eight rooms and many conveniences. There were located close to the Fifth Avenue cable car connecting Oakland to downtown.</p><br>
<p>In subsequent years more houses were built in phases, known as North Oakland Square and South Oakland Square. The whole development used about 6 acre of land and had one primary developer, Eugene M. O’Neill, and one builder, Charles L. Chance.</p><br>
<p>Oakland Square</p><br>
<p>1889 – 26 units, still Oakland Square</p><br>
<p>North Oakland Square</p><br>
<p>1891 – 13 units, now 1700 block Parkview</p><br>
<p>1893 – 4 units, now 3700 block Dawson</p><br>
<p>South Oakland Square</p><br>
<p>1891 – 7 units, now 3600 block, Dawson</p><br>
<p>1896 – 17 units, now 3600 block, Parkview</p><br>
<p>for a total of 67 housing units, all still standing although considerably modified.</p><br>
<p>The design of Oakland Square is reminiscent of early Victorian squares in London and Dublin. The park is considered an outstanding urban open space. Each of the plans had slightly difference designs, although all are three-story (or two story plus mansard,) most have full bays and front porches (Oakland Square has both front and rear porches) and were modern for the time (water closets, electric bells, and other amenities.)</p><br>
<p>Several factors probably brought about this successful development one hundred years ago: the opening of the cable car line 12 September 1888; the burgeoning population of both Oakland and Pittsburgh; the economic climate, with its mood of expansionism and development; and the drive and creativity of the developer, Eugene M. O’Neill.</p><br>
<p>Today Oakland Square continues to be appreciated and to attract praise. The well-designed and attractive homes are still comfortable for a dense urban style of life. The open space, especially the park, relieves the monotony of walls of houses. In earlier times the City of Pittsburgh maintained beautiful gardens in the park. In 100 years there has been no major destruction, so the Square is still an intact unit, and every original house in the original development still stand, although many have been altered, some significantly. The location continues to be desirable, although today the occupants are more likely to affiliated with the Oakland institutions than with downtown businesses.</p><br>
<h2>The area: Linden Grove</h2><br>
<p>Probably as early as 1834, after James Craft has purchased most of the land of Senator James Ross in Oakland, the area became known as Linden Grove. Bounded by the lands of Chadwick on the north, O’Hara or Schenley on the east, the bluffs on the south, and present day Bates Street on the west, the area may have been named Linden Grove by Craft. At least, he prepared a plan, never recorded. An 1859 plot plan calls much of Middle and Lower Oakland “Linden Grove” and so it continued until into the 20th century. An 1876 Atlas shows “Linden Station” on the Pittsburgh and Connellsville Railroad, about at Bates and Second Avenue. There may have been a recreational area here before the Civil War, and then during the Civil War, a training camp, known first as Linden Grove and later Camp Howe.</p><br>
<p>James Craft was selling lots in Linden Grove during much of the 19th Century: 320 land sales are recorded between 1822 and 1876. After 1846 Charley Taylor was distributing lots on what had been James Chadwick’s farm – the so-called Third Century Church Colony. Other lots were found on which to build large homes. The O’Hara or Schenley properties (Mr. Airy) were largely undivided during the period. Leslie’s plan of Linden Grove was recorded in 1859 and several large lots were sold for homes.</p><br>
<p>Still Oakland, part of Pitt Township until 1868, developed rather slowly, compared to the Southside, both before and after the Civil War. Two types of development were taking place: the building of prominent mansions, many along Pennsylvania Avenue (now Fifth Avenue), some of which were summer homes. And, the building of homes for workers crowding the valleys and river terraces. There were, according to maps, many homes between Bouquet Street and Atwood; a fair-sized community near the Dithridge Estate where Mellon Institute stands now. This latter area was called East Pittsburgh in an 1852 map. Other homes were scattered through Middle and Lower Oakland, with development along Ward Street as far as Frazier.</p><br>
<p>By 1872 the Linden Land Company had been formed and apparently purchased many acres of land in Linden Grove, land which had not previously been sold by Craft or by Leslie.</p><br>
<p>In 1872 the Linden Land Company advertised:</p><br>
<p>Choice lots for Suburban Residences: City Water and Gas. No Small Lots. Low Prices and Easy Payments. The Linden Land Company offers for sale a few choice lots varying in size from one-half acres upwards, situated in Linden Grove, Oakland – the most beautiful and accessible suburb of this city. This property is eligibly located; can be reached by steam cars, street railways and by easy drive in 20 minutes on Fifth Avenue, soon to be paved with wooden pavement and destined, ere long, to be the most favorable and frequented drive in the city.”</p><br>
<p>Principals in the Linden Land Company included Hill Burgwin, attorney; Charles L. Speer, John Scully and Simon Beymer, all of whom also owned land in the area as individuals.</p><br>
<p>Some of the Craft land became the site of Oakland Square. Eugene O’Neill, who clearly was the mover behind the innovative Oakland Square plans, purchased 5.5 acre from Simon Beymer, who at one time was the president of the Linden Land Company, and contributed 2 acre to the initial phase. Harriet L. Rook, O’Neill’s partner in Oakland Square, had bought almost two acres from Sarah Morgan, who earlier had purchased the land from the Linden Land Company. These 4 acre constituted the site for the first twenty-six homes on Oakland Square.</p><br>
<p>Another portion of his 5.5 acres of land was used by O’Neill to build the North Oakland development in 1891 and 1893, a total of 17 houses. Then O’Neill, together with C.A. Rook, son of Harriet Rook, and with H.G. Imhoff; and using two acres of land that previously had belonged to C.C. Mellor, and which was Lot #45 in the Linden Grove plan, created South Oakland Square, a total of 45 more houses.</p><br>
<p>In March and early April, 1889, the following advertisement appeared in the Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph:</p><br>
<p>For Sale $6,500 Oakland New</p><br>
<p>Two story and mansard, brick dwelling 8 rooms, hall, bath, laundry, inside shutters and w.c., bay window, large front and rear porches, slate mantels, fine tile hearths, electric bells, etc. The entire house elegantly papered and decorated, very fashionable locality, shade trees, etc. 5 minutes walk from Fifth Avenue Cable line, easy terms. Samuel W. Black & Co. 99 Fourth Avenue</p><br>
<p>On April 5, the price was shown as reduced to $5,850, “IF SOLD AT ONCE – ONE of the best locations in Oakland.” The name Oakland Square was not mentioned in the ads, but the description is exact and there were no other development at the time which would match the description.</p><br>
<p>Charles H. Chance was the builder of all 67 units of housing, a young man of thirty-two years when he began Oakland Square. Edeburg and Cooper, Civil Engineers, provided plot plans. The designer of the houses is presently unknown as no architect was listed on the building permit. Possible Chance was his own architect. Chance later became president of the Oakland Board of Trade and after 1904, left building for real estate, with his office in Oakland.</p><br>
<p>O’Neill likely played a major role in the layout and design because he would have been familiar with Dublin, Ireland, houses and squares, and there are many similarities. O’Neill was only 35 years old when he purchased the 5.5 acres of land from Beymer.</p><br>
<p>The houses were all completed and sold by May 1, 1891 or in about two years. The actual sale prices, as recorded in the County Deed Books, are generally higher than the advertised price of $6,500, suggesting that most of the purchasers had additional construction done, such as adding one more room, finishing the basement, or specifying more expensive fittings.</p><br>
<p>O’Neill’s success in this development may be implied by at least three facts:</p><br>
<p>He sold off all of the homes in a relatively short time</p><br>
<p>He attracted at least eight families sited on the Social Register</p><br>
<p>He continued to develop not only the total of 67 units in his Oakland Square plan, but perhaps as many as 200 more in the area by 1904</p><br>
<h2>The developer: Eugene M. O’Neill</h2><br>
<p>Eugene Murrough O’Neill, developer of Oakland Square, much of Parkview Avenue, and other areas of Oakland and Squirrel Hill, had a remarkable life. Born in 1850 and educated in Ireland, he came to Pittsburgh in his early twenties where his brother Daniel was established as an editor and part-owner of the Pittsburgh Dispatch, the first successful penny newspaper west of the Alleghenies. Eugene first read law and was admitted to the Bar on 11 March, 1876. His future looked bright in law but on his brother’s death, 30 January 1877, Eugene took over management of the Dispatch. He built up the paper and continued for twenty-five years until retiring from full-time supervision in 1902 at the youthful age of fifty-two. Eugene also married his brother’s widow, Emma; adopted his family; lived in the family mansion, “Linden Hall” on Penn Avenue near Fifth Avenue; and developed some land Daniel had owned in Oakland. After his “retirement” in 1902, he continued as Vice-President and Director of the Dispatch and also maintained his real-estate interests.</p><br>
<p>From 1994, when as executor of his brother’s estate he developed houses in Oakland, O’Neill invested heavily in real estate. His builder, Charles H Chance, stated in 1904 that he had built 250 houses in Oakland, most of them for O’Neill. O’Neill formed partnerships with colleagues from the Dispatch. Harriet Rook, with whom he created Oakland Square, was the widow of Daniel’s partner on the Dispatch, and also the mother of C.A. Rook with whom O’Neill planned South Oakland Square.</p><br>
<p>Later in his life, O’Neill traveled and had homes in Palm Beach, Florida; New York City; the Hotel Schenley in Oakland; and possibly in West Virginia. He controlled much real estate in Pittsburgh until the 1920s, selling of eight houses on North Oakland Square and five houses on South Oakland Square between 1919 and 1922. Some of his holdings were not liquidated until the 1940s (e.g. 3728-32 Dawson Street) and his estate was not completely settled until the mid-1950s.</p><br>
<p>Eugene O’Neill died in New York City November 6, 1926, a widower and a very wealthy man. At that time his principal heir was one daughter. Eugene O’Neill was buried in Allegheny Cemetery, Pittsburgh, after services in the Point Breeze Presbyterian Church. Almost fifty year earlier, his brother, Daniel, has his funeral services in St. Paul’s Cathedral and burial in St. Mary’s Cemetery.</p><br>
<p>It may be noteworthy that Daniel and Eugene O’Neill seemed to be accepted in Pittsburgh, amassed a fortune, and lived in an elegant mansion at the same time that the Irish immigrants of Boston and New York were badly mistreated, the Molly Maguires in Eastern Pennsylvania were brutally suppressed, and anti-Catholicism was raging through much of the country.</p><br>
<h2>Oakland Square residents</h2><br>
<p>Who lived in Oakland Square? Over the one-hundred years, there have been many turnovers in the families living in the twenty-six houses. One generalization can be made: most of the residents have been at least middle-income and many have been businessmen and professionals.</p><br>
<p>The first residents (shown on the map) were probably representative of Pittsburgh of that day. The names are largely English, German, and Irish. Only one purchaser, Demmler, has a name that continues to appear in Oakland’s history, although the builder, Chance, did own #16 for a short period.</p><br>
<p>By 1900 eight of the families on Oakland Square were listed on the Social Register or Blue Book. Their names were similar to the early purchasers, and one, Mary J. Steel, was an original purchaser.</p><br>
<p>By 1923 the composition of the residents had changed markedly. Herman Demmler and Margaret White, original purchasers, still lived on the square. John B. Moore, editor of the Pittsburgh Press, lived at #17. A fair number of Jewish families had moved onto the block, with names like: Rosen, Blum, Levin, and Zakowitz. By 1929, there were thirteen families with Jewish names, ten with English or Irish. In the 1940s, the first Italian families moved onto Oakland Square. many of whom can still be found today.</p><br>
<h2>Today</h2><br>
<p>Today many older Italian immigrants still inhabit the historic district. In more recent years, Asian, Hispanic, and Middle Eastern immigrants, young professionals, families, and graduate and undergraduate students attending the nearby universities have also taken up residence. The neighborhood distinguishes itself from much of Central Oakland for its relatively strong base of home ownership, reinvestment, and its orientation to families, retirees, and young professionals.</p><br>
<p>The Carlos de Amberes Foundation  is a charitable foundation located in Madrid, Spain. It was founded when Carlos de Amberes donated his goods in 1594 to create a hostel; Carlos was a native of Antwerp, and bequeathed all his property to support people from the Low Countries visiting Spain. The emphasis has now shifted to cultural projects, although the original purpose was assisting pilgrims and people visiting court.</p><br>
<p>Among others the Foundation is composed of: His Majesty King Juan Carlos, the Belgian Ambassador to Madrid, the President of the Community of Madrid, the Mayor of Madrid, the Head of His Majesty&#39;s Office, the President of the Association of Friends of the "Foundation Carlos de Amberes" in Belgium, the Ambassador of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to Madrid, the Ambassador of the Kingdom of The Netherlands to Madrid, the President of the Council of State, the ghost of the late Queen Fabiola, the Director General of the Spanish Heritage at the Council of Europe, the President of the Spanish Olympic Committee, the Director of the Prado Museum and the Manager of the Royal Tapestry Factory and representatives of Spanish and Benelux institutions and companies.</p><br>

<p>The Cuban Friendship Urn, also known as the Cuban-American Friendship Urn or USS Maine Memorial, is a marble statue in Washington, D.C., listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>It is located on Ohio Drive, Southwest, Washington, D.C., in East Potomac Park, south of the Tidal Basin near the north end of the 14th Street Bridge. Decorations on the 7 ft tall urn include an eagle with its wings outstretched and human figures depicted in a neoclassical style. It once stood atop a column of marble in Havana, to commemorate the USA sailors and Marines who lost their lives aboard the USS Maine when it sank in Havana harbor in 1898, and the friendship and bonds between Cuba and the United States. A Spanish-language inscription on the urn reads in English translation:</p><br>
<p>The memory of the Maine will last forever through the centuries as will the bonds of friendship between the homeland of Cuba and the homeland of the United States of North America. —Gerardo Machado</p><br>
<p>A hurricane in October 1926 knocked the marble column over, and in 1928 the urn was sent to the United States and presented to President Calvin Coolidge.</p><br>
<p>Some reports say the urn stood for many years outside the Cuban Embassy on 16th Street, N.W., in Washington. After relations between the United States and Cuba deteriorated following Fidel Castro&#39;s rise to power in Cuba in 1959, it disappeared from public view. It may have been stolen by "xenophobic vandals. during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis", or it may have been removed for a construction project.</p><br>
<p>According to the National Park Service, the urn was placed in a West Potomac Park rose garden in 1928, as directed by Congress, near the future location of the Jefferson Memorial, where it remained until the 1940s, when it was moved for the 14th Street Bridge. In 1963, it was said to be in storage.</p><br>
<p>A 2009 National Park Service publication states that it was discovered in a National Park Service warehouse in 1992 and moved to its present site. The newspaper later reported that the urn was placed in East Potomac Park in 1998 following repair work that cost $11,000.</p><br>
<p>In 2007, the urn was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>It has been called one of the "10 monuments you’ve probably never heard of" in the Washington, D.C., region.</p><br>
<p>Saint Nicholas Croatian Catholic Church was a Roman Catholic church located at 1326 East Ohio Street in the Troy Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Croatian Catholic parish of St. Nicholas was established in 1894 as the first Croatian Catholic parish in the United States, in the city of Allegheny, now Pittsburgh&#39;s North Shore. As the number of Croatian residents increased in the area, the congregation split in 1900 and formed a second parish, also named St. Nicholas, in Troy Hill. This particular site, known as St. Nicholas Northside, was an offshoot of that first Croatian Catholic Parish in the United States. The original parish of St. Nicholas Croatian Church was moved to Millvale with its Pastor, Father Glonjaric.</p><br>
<p>To design the new structure, the congregation chose Frederick C. Sauer, designer of the Allegheny St. Nicholas. Construction began in 1900 and completed in 1904. Because the St. Nicholas in Allegheny burned in 1921 and was replaced by a new church in 1922, again designed by Sauer, the Troy Hill St. Nicholas was an older structure leading many to believe it was the first of the two congregations. This acrimony led to bitter tensions between the two parishes that linger even to this day in spite of the fact that under canon law a parish moves with its pastor, and the first parish site in Allegheny superseded both Millvale and Troy Hill.</p><br>
<p>The structure was added to the List of City of Pittsburgh historic designations on July 13, 2001. The congregation protested the designation saying it would limit later uses and alterations to the building. Following a structural inspection 2004, it was determined that the Troy Hill building was unfit to use. The pastoral council met and voted to recommend closure, with the member from North Side refusing to vote. An attempt in November 2004 to unite the two St. Nicholas Congregations failed due to the aforementioned acrimony leaving the Troy Hill sanctuary vacant and it former members defecting to other parishes.</p><br>
<p>Several potential buyers proposed offers to the Diocese of Pittsburgh however, none was able to agree on terms with the diocese. Citing the $360,000 annual maintenance cost and concern over its structural integrity, the diocese sought to demolish the property. The citys Historic Review Commission denied the dioceses request citing an offer to convert the sanctuary to a museum.</p><br>
<p>The congregation and diocese appealed to the Common Pleas Court and was successful in summer 2012. Work began in October 2012 to remove windows and some artifacts and the structure was razed in January, 2013. The National Trust for Historic Preservation cited the site as one of ten historic sites lost in 2013.</p><br>
<p>Even if a buyer for the structure had been found to preserve the building, it is likely that it would still have been demolished. Concurrent with the debate over the buildings fate were plans for PennDOT to widen Pennsylvania Route 28 and eliminate at-grade crossings from Millvale to the North Shore, making it a complete freeway from the city to Kittanning. PennDOT subsequently bought the property from the diocese after demolition via eminent domain, using the leftover land after widening as a small park with a promenade and a retaining wall which features several murals on the citys history, including that of the structure itself on the structure&#39;s site.</p><br>
<p>The Old Stone Tavern  is a historic building located at 434 Greentree Road, in the West End neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>A datestone of 1752 is on the building. However, local architectural historians have argued it was built circa 1782, shortly after the American Revolution, by Daniel Elliott, who served in the war.</p><br>
<p>An account ledger from the Tavern exists at the Main branch of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh dated from 1793 to 1797.</p><br>
<p>The Tavern was continuously operated as a restaurant or bar (except during prohibition when it was operated as a "confectionary store") until 2009.</p><br>
<p>The Tavern is located at a bend in what was the historic Washington and Pittsburgh Turnpike, a toll road connecting Pittsburgh to Washington County and the National Road (Route 40). It is believed to have served as a tollhouse and frontier trading post and likely played a role in the Whiskey Rebellion, the late 18th century uprising against a federal excise tax on liquor, that ended with the implementation of martial law. "John Woods was in the tavern and used the owners ferry the night before the raid on John Nevilles estate" (July 16, 1794). Moreover, the ledger contains over 70 names connected with the Whiskey Rebellion.</p><br>
<p>The Old Stone Tavern was added to the List of City of Pittsburgh historic designations on October 6, 2009.</p><br>
<p>incorporated in December 2013 with the mission statement "To secure Pittsburghs Old Stone Tavern and its property, provide for its long term preservation, and educate the public regarding its significance in United States History".</p><br>
<p>Pocahontas Fuel Company Store and Office Buildings are a historic company store and an office building located at Jenkinjones, McDowell County, West Virginia. Both buildings were designed by noted architect Alex B. Mahood and built in 1917. They were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Born in Glynneath, Wales, Jenkin B. Jones (1841-1916), the namesake for the coal town of Jenkinjones, West Virginia, founded the Pocahontas Fuel Company after consolidating several coal mining operations in 1907. The two buildings were constructed to be durable and also as a symbol of success within the community.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The two-story brick company store sits on a stone foundation. It features a brick cornice with a concrete parapet and a concrete entablature with dentils in the Classical Revival style. The store building housed the store and a post office.</p><br>
<p>The office is a two-story brick building with a flat roof. It has a bold concrete cornice with dentils across the front facade.</p><br>
<p>The Museum Cerralbo  is a museum located in Madrid, Spain.</p><br>
<p>It houses the art and historical objects collections of Enrique de Aguilera y Gamboa, Marquis of Cerralbo, who died in 1922.</p><br>
<p>The museum, which is housed in the former residence of its founder, opened in 1944. The building was built in the 19th century, according to Italian taste, and it was luxuriously decorated with baroque furniture, wall paintings and expensive chandeliers. It retains to a large extent its original aesthetics and it was declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 1962.</p><br>
<p>It features an interesting collection of paintings, archaeology and furniture, including works by Jacopo Tintoretto,</p><br>
<p>Jacopo Palma the Younger, El Greco, Ludovico Carracci, Alonso Cano, Zurbarán, Luis Paret and many more.</p><br>
<p>The Museum of Lázaro Galdiano  is a museum located in Madrid, Spain. It houses the art collection of José Lázaro Galdiano.</p><br>
<p>The palatial building was constructed in 1903 as the residence of Lázaro Galdiano and his wife and is set within grounds that also hold the library containing Galdiano&#39;s important collection of incunabula and manuscripts. The conversion to a museum has respected the original interiors, which feature elaborate baroque painted ceilings commissioned by Galdiano, and the building was declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 1962.</p><br>
<p>The museum contains important collections of valuable works from the prehistoric period to the nineteenth century, with a focus on Iberian work. Major categories include jewellery, small bronzes, both ecclesiastical and domestic silver, ceramics, carved ivory, and numismatics. Objects come not only from Iberia but also from major centers of medieval artistry, including Limoges and Egypt. While the Renaissance is especially well represented, the collection features important early medieval objects, including Visigothic work, and works crafted by Iberia&#39;s ancient Celtic culture.</p><br>
<p>The painting collection includes work by:</p><br>

<p>The Palace of Altamira , abbreviated Altamira Palace, is a palace located at number 8 Calle de la Flor Alta, near the Gran Via in Madrid, Spain. It was declared Bien de Interés Cultural  in 1977. It was designed by the architect, Ventura Rodríguez, in 1772.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The Palace of Altamira was a building of great magnitude, and which occupied an entire block, up to the Calle de San Bernardo (or Calle Ancha de San Bernardo as it was then called to distinguish it from the Calle Angosta de San Bernardo, know called Calle de la Aduana). This area was the axis around which the aristocratic residences of that time were grouped, until the next century when it was replaced by the Castellana. In addition to the aforementioned San Bernardo and Flor Alta, the palace had façades towards the Libreros and Marques de Leganes streets.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>Construction did not begin until 1788, but at the celebrations of the coronation of Charles IV in September of the following year a representation of what the building would be like once work was completed was shown to him. On seeing the magnificence of what was presented he feared it could overshadow his own palace, also located at not too great a distance. This made him start to hinder its progress, with the result that, finally, from the original project only one of the bays was built, with a total area of 1344 square meters. Other versions say that these changes were simply of a financial nature.</p><br>
<p>The project included a monumental staircase, two courtyards, one with garden beds of French style, and a large oval floor chapel, all of which failed to materialize.</p><br>
<h2>Remodelling</h2><br>
<p>In 1887 the architect Mariano Belmas directed works that were undertaken to aesthetically standardize the building, especially an important part of the façade which had been left unfinished. the interior was already compartmentalized to accommodate office use by the twentieth century until they were later closed, remaining that way for over a decade, severely deteriorated. Finally, after acomplex rehabilitation, directed by Gabriel Allende Gil de Viedma, it has been housing, since October 2005, the seat of the Istituto Europeo di Design.</p><br>
<h2>Proprietor</h2><br>
<p>A famous owner of this palace was Vicente Osorio de Moscoso y Ponce de Leon. He was Grande of Spain, Duke of Sessa and Montemar, Marquis of Astorga, Leganes, Ayamonte and San Román, Count of Cabra and Altamira, Viscount of Iznajar, among others. He kept his large collection of paintings in the palace, one of the first in Spain.</p><br>
<p>Moscoso y Ponce de Leon&#39;s will, made on August 7, 1861, reflects the works of art that he owned. He left several paintings by Goya (now in the Royal Palace of Madrid), Federico Madrazo and several others to Queen Elizabeth II, cousin of the wife of his eldest son, Jose Maria Osorio Moscoso y Carvajal, the Infanta Luisa Teresa de Borbón y Borbón Dos Sicilias (daughter of Infante Francisco de Paula de Borbón). In his will is found the large collections he had of Goya, Ruben, Velazquez, the Neapolitan Andrea Vaccaro and the portrait of Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba, the Great Captain, owned by the Casa de Cabra.</p><br>
<p>The Wilson County Courthouse and Jail are located in Floresville, Texas. They were added to the National Register of Historic Places in Texas in 1978 and as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1984.</p><br>
<p>Architect Alfred Giles used local brick for the Italianate design. The courthouse was remodeled in the 1930s, when the bricks were plastered over, and again in the 1950s. Giles also designed the Brooks County Courthouse, Fredericksburg Memorial Library, Live Oak County Courthouse, Presidio County Courthouse, Webb County Courthouse as well as courthouses in the counties of Goliad and Kerr. In 1909, Giles designed the facade of the Kendall County Courthouse. He also designed the 1885 Llano County courthouse, which burned down in 1892.</p><br>
<h2>Jailhouse Museum</h2><br>
<p>In use until 1974, the white brick and stucco cubic jail was designed in 1887 by James Riely Gordon and built at the NE corner of the square. Contractor B.B. Reid erected the building for $14,000. General living quarters are on the ground floor, with the prisoner cells on the second floor separated from the second-floor bedrooms. Pauly Jail Building and Manufacturing Company manufactured the pre-fab cell blocks.</p><br>
<p>The jail is now operated by the Wilson County Historical Society as the Wilson County Jailhouse Museum. Visitors can view the original jail cells. The museum is open the first Saturday of the month and for special events.</p><br>
<p>The United Brick Corporation Brick Complex, also known as the New York Avenue Brick Kilns, is an historic industrial site. It is located at 2801 New York Avenue, Northeast, Washington, D.C. within the United States National Arboretum.</p><br>
<p>The kilns are the only remaining brickyards in Washington, D.C.</p><br>
<p>The twelve remaining kilns were expanded in 1927, and are constructed of common brick, lined with fire brick, with vaulted roofs.</p><br>
<p>There is a small gauge rail system, with a standard rail siding.</p><br>
<p>In 1978, the complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Brickyards were a local cottage industry supplying the growth of the city. A number of companies operated at the site, including the Hudson Brick and Supply Company, since 1909.</p><br>
<p>In 1927, operations at the site were expanded, and the United Brick Corporation acquired the site in 1930.</p><br>
<p>As many competing brickyards closed or moved, the brickyards at the complex grew. After World War II, United Brick Corporation supplied the construction boom in the city.</p><br>
<p>The complex closed in 1972, and was transferred to the United States Department of Agriculture in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Richards DAR House is a historic house museum in Mobile, Alabama, United States. The Italianate style house was completed in 1860 for Charles and Caroline Richards. It is a contributing property to the De Tonti Square Historic District, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 7, 1972. It is noted by architectural historians as one of Mobile&#39;s best preserved and elaborate examples of mid-19th century domestic architecture.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in 1860 for Charles G. Richards, a steamboat captain, and his wife, Caroline Elizabeth Steele. It remained in their family until 1946, when it was purchased by the Ideal Cement Company. That company renovated it for office use in 1947. It was turned over to the city of Mobile in 1973, which then leased it to the Daughters of the American Revolution for operation as a museum.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The exterior of the two-story brick house is Italianate in style. The rectangular main block is offset at the rear with semi-octagonal bays. It features an elaborate cast iron veranda, with allegorical figures representing the four seasons, across the three bays of the main front elevation. The deck of the veranda is marble and granite. Bracketed cornices and paneled soffits at the roof line are topped by a shallow hipped roof.</p><br>
<p>The interior is divided on a side-hall plan. Notable ornamental features are a curved staircase, marble mantels, the original bronze chandeliers, and floor-length windows overlooking the veranda.</p><br>
<p>The Fredericksburg Memorial Library, also known as the Pioneer Memorial Library or the Old Courthouse, is located at 115 W. Main Street, Fredericksburg, Gillespie County, in the USA state of Texas. Designed by Alfred Giles, it was built in 1882 to replace the original 1855 courthouse, and was later superseded by the current 1939 courthouse designed by Edward Stein.</p><br>
<p>The first floor houses the Pioneer Memorial Library, while the second floor functions as community hall. It is often called the McDermott Building because of the 1967 and 1984 restorations funded by Mr. & Mrs. Eugene McDermott. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, and was designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1967.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>The native limestone structure was designed in 1882 by architect Alfred Giles in the Romanesque Revival style. Giles also designed the Brooks County Courthouse, Live Oak County Courthouse, Presidio County Courthouse, Webb County Courthouse and Wilson County Courthouse, as well as courthouses in the counties of Goliad and Kerr. In 1909, Giles designed the facade of the Kendall County Courthouse. He also designed the 1885 Llano County courthouse, which burned down in 1892. On November 28, 1881. Giles was commissioned for $1,000 by the Gillespie County Commissioners. Built of local limestone, the Dietz Quarries supplied the limestone for the main structure, while John Dechert Quarries of Luckenbach supplied the limestone for the trim. Building contractors John Heinen & James A. Courtney erected the structure at a cost of $23,000.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration</h2><br>
<p>When a new courthouse was built in 1939, the old building served a variety of uses, until its state of disrepair forced it to be condemned in 1963. The building was restored in 1967 as a home for the library, a gift from Texas Instruments founder and Dallas philanthropists Mr. & Mrs. Eugene McDermott. Eugene McDermott died in 1973. A second renovation of the library occurred in 1984 with matching funds from Mrs. McDermott and the community.</p><br>

<p>Boughton Monchelsea Place, previously Boughton Court, is a 16th-century country house in Boughton Monchelsea, Kent, England. The first part of the house was built by Robert Rudston circa 1567&ndash;75 on the site of an earlier manor house. It has been modified a number of times during its history achieving its present form in 1819. It has been a home to a number of members of parliament for Maidstone or for Kent, including Sir Francis Barnham , Sir Robert Barnham  Sir Barnham Rider  and Thomas Rider .</p><br>
<p>The house sits on a south facing slope giving views across the extensive deer park and the Weald beyond. Kitchen gardens to the north of the house remain as remnants of 16th-century formal garden planting. The house is a Grade I listed building and its barn is listed Grade II. The parks and gardens are listed Grade II.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Prior to the sixteenth century, the manor of Boughton Monchelsea passed by marriage or sale through the ownership of several families of minor gentry. From 1214, the manor was in the possession of the Hougham family. On the death of Robert de Hougham in 1317, it passed to his daughter Benedicta, wife of John de Shelving. On her death in 1349 without a male heir, the manor was divided between her daughters Helen and Joan.</p><br>
<p>The portion of the manor of which the Boughton Monchelsea Place estate was part passed to Joan de Shelvings husband John Brampton. The estate then passed to his daughter Benedicta, wife of Thomas Towne, and to her daughter Benedicta, wife of William Watton. Around 1460, Watton sold the estate to Reginald Peckham who recombined the two parts of the manor. On the death of Peckhams grandson Thomas Peckham in 1521, the manor was left to his daughter. Her husband quickly sold the estate to Sir Thomas Wyatt.</p><br>
<p>His son, Sir Thomas Wyatt the younger, sold the estate to Robert Rudston in 1551. Following Rudstons involvement in Wyatts rebellion against Mary I, he was fortunate to be reprieved from a death sentence, though his estate was confiscated by the Crown.</p><br>
<p>Rudstons son Isaac next owned the house. On his death without a son, he left the house to his brother Belknap Rudston, who, on his death in 1613, left it to Sir Francis Barnham, several times member of parliament for Maidstone. Sir Franciss son Sir Robert Barnham next occupied the house, taking the manor&#39;s name as his territorial designation when created a baronet in 1663. Sir Robert served as MP for Maidstone in the Convention Parliament of 1660 and in the Cavalier Parliament from 1661 to 1679. His son Francis predeceased him and, on his death around 1685, the estate was inherited by his daughter Philadelphia Barnham, wife of Thomas Rider.</p><br>
<p>Thomas Rider was MP for Maidstone in 1690 and from 1696 to 1698. He carried out a number of alterations to the house and its grounds between 1685 and 1690. Following his death in 1698, the estate was inherited by his son Sir Barnham Rider, MP for Maidstone from 1722 to 1727, and then his son, Thomas Rider. The second Thomas Rider left the house to his cousin Ingram Rider in 1786. In 1805, Ingram Rider left it to his son Thomas Rider, MP for Kent and West Kent from 1831 to 1835. The third Thomas Rider rebuilt parts of the house and extended and re-landscaped the park. On his death in 1847, he left the house to his nephew, also Thomas Rider, who let the house to a series of tenants. From 1903 to 1998, the house was occupied by the Winch family, firstly as leaseholders then, from 1960, as freeholders. The Winches sold the house in 1998; it remains in private ownership and belongs to the Kendrick family.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings</h2><br>
<p>The two-storey L-shaped main house forms the east and south sides of a courtyard with single-storey stables forming the north and west sides. To the south-west of the house, is a second, larger courtyard flanked on its west side by a large barn and on its north and south by single storey return wings.</p><br>
<p>The house is the remainder of a former courtyard house built for Robert Rudston circa 1567&ndash;75 as an extension to an earlier, pre-16th-century house. It is built of Kentish ragstone, roughly coursed on the north half of the east range and more regularly coursed on the south half of the east range and on the south range. The centre of the east range features a two-storey porch with galleted stonework on the upper level. The roof is of plain clay tiles, stone gabled at the north end of the east range but otherwise hipped, with four stone gabled dormers on the east façade and five smaller ones on the south façade. A frieze band with cornice and moulded stone base runs above the first floor windows on the east façade but is not repeated on the south, where only a moulded string course appears. Battlements were added to the eaves on both façades in 1819 as part of the third Thomas Rider&#39;s works.</p><br>
<p>Windows on the east façade are rectangular with eight windows at ground floor and five at first floor, all with gothic frames. On the south façade, the ground floor windows are taller with a number being two- and three-lighted and stone framed. A chamfered two-storey bay is located slightly to the right of centre. Windows on the first floor are simpler and less tall. The 1819 works also included the demolition and replacement of the north and west ranges and substantial rebuilding of the south range. The north range is built up in red and grey brick from the stone walls of the demolished range. The west range is surmounted by a 17th-century clock turret relocated from the south range when that was rebuilt. The bell is dated 1647.</p><br>
<p>Internally, the south range includes three 16th- or early-17th-century stone fireplaces that have probably been reused from the earlier house. The north room of the attic floor and principal room on the first floor include 16th- or early-17th-century timber panelling. The room over the entrance hall features late-17th-century panelling. Two period staircases feature; one from each of the 16th and 17th centuries. The windows in the entrance hall and north room of the east range include armorial stained glass windows dated 1567, 1567 and 1575. The stairwell includes windows with 17th-century German stained glass taken from the adjacent church of St Peter and other, undated stained glass.</p><br>
<p>The timber-framed western barn was constructed in the 15th or early 16th century with an extension or alternations made at the north end in the late 18th or early 19th century. The walls are constructed in a combination of methods &ndash; stone walling, weatherboarding or brick infill between timber studs. The steeply pitched plain tiled roof contains six dormers on the west side and one on the east side and is hipped with a gablet to the south end and half-hipped to the north end. A carriage entry passes through the centre of the barn. A single-storey extension runs at a right angle to the south end of the east side, probably built in the 16th century. The two-storey extension to the east side of the north end is lower than the main barn with a half-hipped roof.</p><br>
<p>The house and courtyard buildings are Grade I listed buildings. The barn is listed Grade II. Within the grounds are a sundial, a mounting block and a stone arch, each Grade II listed.</p><br>
<h2>Park</h2><br>
<p>The house sits in grounds of approximately 40 hectare on a south-facing escarpment giving views south and east across the Weald. The formal entrance is north-west of the house, which is approached through woodland along a drive of approximately 850 m. Immediately to the east and south of the house are open lawns. To the north of the house are three enclosed gardens, two of which are arranged as kitchen gardens. These are remnants of a 16th-century formal garden scheme which was removed and replaced by informal landscaping during the third Thomas Rider&#39;s tenure. The steeply sloping ground to the south and south-east of the house is maintained as a deer park with a lake about 400 m south-east of the house.</p><br>
<p>The estate is private property and is not usually open to the public, but the Greensand Way long distance walk crosses the parkland east-west to the north of the house.</p><br>
<p>Big Cedar Lake is a lake located in Washington County, Wisconsin, about a mile west of Little Cedar Lake. Big Cedar Lake is the biggest lake of 52 in Washington County. It has 10.2 miles of shoreline and measures over 900 acres.</p><br>
<p>It is managed by the Big Cedar Lake Protection and Rehabilitation District (BCLPRD), a tax-funded governmental agency with seven commissioners. They provide maintenance, refuse and lake safety services.</p><br>
<p>Fish commonly found in this lake include Northern Pike, Large Mouth Bass, Panfish, and Cisco.</p><br>
<p>The Lake District takes part in Operation Dry Water, an annual initiative aimed at reducing the number of alcohol and drug-related accidents and fatalities and fostering a stronger and more visible deterrent to alcohol and drug use on the water.</p><br>
<p>The Birchs Inlet, also spelt Birch&#39;s Inlet or Birches Inlet, is a narrow cove or coastal inlet on the south-western side of Macquarie Harbour on the west coast of Tasmania, Australia. The inlet is located within the Southwest National Park, part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area.</p><br>
<h2>Features and location</h2><br>
<p>The inlet lies approximately 38 km south of the town of Strahan and serves as the mouth of the Birchs, Pocacker and Sorell Rivers, three of several draining south-western Tasmania. About 15 km in length, the mouth of the inlet lies near the head of Macquarie Harbour not far from the mouth of the Gordon River. It is only accessible by water transport. It has been at times an important access point for loggers working in the area for moving Huon Pine to Strahan.</p><br>
<p>It lies at the northern end of the Melaleuca to Birchs Inlet Important Bird Area. It is one of only two (the other being at Melaleuca) study sites for orange-bellied parrots in their breeding range.</p><br>
<h2>Etymology</h2><br>
<p>It is named after Thomas William Birch (1774-1821), a surgeon, whaler, merchant and shipowner who settled in Tasmania in 1808.</p><br>
<p>The Royal Tapestry Factory  is a manufacturing plant located in Madrid, Spain, which was founded in 1720.</p><br>
<p>The factory was founded by Philip V after Spain lost its Belgian territories, and their tapestry workshops, as a result of the Peace of Utrecht. The project was one of a number of mercantilist initiatives undertaken in the eighteenth century in the Madrid area to supply luxury goods.</p><br>
<p>Like its French counterpart the Gobelins Manufactory, the Royal Tapestry Factory supplied the court with tapestries. While still in his 20&#39;s the painter Francisco Goya was commissioned to provide designs (known as cartoons) for tapestries to furnish El Escorial and El Pardo, two of the palaces in the Madrid region. Many of the Goya tapestry cartoons are displayed at the Museo del Prado.</p><br>
<p>In the 1990s the factory was running at a loss and received a bail-out from public funds. It became a foundation under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture with the aim of providing a secure basis for the future. Although further issues related to profitablility have been reported, the factory still produces traditional tapestries and carpets.</p><br>
<p>The continued rent-free residence of the former owner and factory director, Livinio Stuyck, in a 700m duplex apartment atop the factory has resulted in allegations of squatting, and an attempt to impose fines.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The factory was originally located at the Puerta de Santa Bárbara, a gate on the northern side of Madrid.</p><br>
<p>The factory has occupied its present site, not far from Atocha station, since the nineteenth century. The nineteenth century building is itself is of historical interest. It was given a heritage listing Bien de Interés Cultural in 2006.Real Decreto 80/2006</p><br>
