Long Bridge, Belgrade

The Long Bridge () was the first permanent bridge in Belgrade. It was built in 1688, spanning across the Sava river.
History.
The Greek historian Zosimus mentions the bridge in Belgrade (at that time, Singidunum) already in the 5th century, which is the oldest historical mention of any bridges in the city. Other historical records observe other bridges, like in 1521, 1595 or 1717, but they were all temporary, pontoon bridges, constructed solely for the purpose of conquering the city during the numerous battles and sieges of Belgrade in history.
Location.
The bridge was constructed further to the south from the city, near the village of Ostružnica on Šumadija side of the river. As the Syrmian side across the Sava was a vast marsh at the time (modern New Belgrade), the bridge didn't stop at the bank but continued for some length above the swamp. Because of that, the people also called it the Bridge above the marsh ("Most preko močvare").
Construction.
Just like all the previous temporary bridges, the Long Bridge was also built by the Austrians to help them conquer Belgrade from the Ottomans during the 1688 Siege of Belgrade. According to the records, a seasoned Belgrade master craftsman Đorđević "in only one month, with the help of his 400 workers, built the Long Bridge, using 2,000 tree trunks, 1,100 wooden piles, 15,500 bundles of palings and 12,000 palisade pickets."
Demolition.
If not before, the bridge had to be demolished by 1691 when the Ottomans reconquered Belgrade.
Importance.
The Long Bridge is the first permanent bridge in Belgrade history. Right next to it, bit closer to the island of Ada Ciganlija, the Austrians constructed another, classical pontoon bridge, which "leaned on the Long Bridge". Maps show another pontoon bridge, on the boats, directly connecting the road from Zemun to the Belgrade Fortress.

Description.
Buffadero was the name of a village where people lived at the south end of Gibraltar before World War II. According to the Royal Engineers, Buffadero is possibly an anglicized corruption derived from the Spanish "bufido", which means "blowing" or "snorting", or it might be of Genoese origin as many Genoese workmen had been employed in Gibraltar.
At the end of the nineteenth century Buffadero Battery had a BL 9.2 inch gun Mk IX–X, which was one of 14 installed in Gibraltar. The guns were intended to counter 8" guns on cruisers. At Gibraltar, these guns could fire across the Straits of Gibraltar and could hit shipping on the coast of Morocco, thus enabling Gibraltar to command the Straits. A well-like cave was in close proximity to the battery.
Today, the Buffadero Training Center includes two live firing ranges, an obstacle course, and a mock village. Soldiers use the village to train for urban combat.

History of the building.
St.Paraskeva (or Paraskevy Piatnyci) church belongs to the oldest religious buildings of the city. Its construction dates back to the 13th - 14th centuries. Was substantially rebuilt after a fire in 1623. Due to the persecution of the Orthodox Church in Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth funds for reconstruction was provided by Moldavian Voevod Vasile Lupu, which was completed in 1644. Building blocks were hewn sandstone.
The single-nave church has a defensive character - its walls are thick and the windows small, also further demonstrated by the loopholes in the upper storeys of the tower. Enclosed is an octagonal apse. The wall bears the coat of arms of Moldavia of the hospodar - the head of an aurochs with the sun, moon and star.

Villa Porto, Molina di Malo

Villa Porto is an unfinished patrician villa in Molina di Malo, Province of Vicenza, northern Italy, designed by Italian Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio in 1570.
History.
The ten brick-column shafts that dominate the great 15th century farmyard of the Porto family at Molina mark the first stage of a grandiose project conceived by Palladio on behalf of Iseppo (Giuseppe) Porto: in fact, the patron’s name is inscribed on the plinths of the splendid stone column bases, next to the date 1572.
The rich protagonist of one of Vicenza’s most important families, and brother-in-law of both Adriano and Marcantonio Thiene (patrons of the homonymous palace by Palladio), Iseppo Porto already owned a grandiose city palace, which Palladio had designed him over twenty years earlier, Palazzo Porto.
Archival documents show that the enormous columns are not the fragments of a monumental barchessa, like that for the Villa Pisani at Bagnolo, but rather of the façade of a true and proper country residence. The large Corinthian colonnade, a direct quotation from the pronaos of the Pantheon, would have reached an overall height of over thirteen metres. Lower porticoes, on a quarter-circle plan and still visible in the 19th century, would have tied the manorial house to agricultural annexes to left and right.
This edifice recalls two other projects by Palladio, the Villa Mocenigo on the Brenta and the Villa Thiene at Cicogna, neither of which was ever executed though both are documented by various autograph sketches and were included in the "I quattro libri dell'architettura". In publishing Giuseppe Porto’s city palace in the "Quattro libri", Palladio enriched the original project with a courtyard of a giant Composite order extremely close to that of the villa at Molina. Giuseppe’s death in 1580 put an end to the building works, which were never completed.

Powder Tower, Riga

The Powder Tower () is situated in Riga, Latvia, and originally a part of the defensive system of the town. The current Powder Tower was built in 1650 and renovated in the years 1937 to 1940 when it was added to the structure of the Latvian War Museum.
History.
The tower was first mentioned in 1330 as the Sand Tower (the name apparently derives from the sand hills opposite the tower). The entrance to the tower was above the ground and the building could only be entered by a narrow staircase. During the Swedish attack on Poland of 1621, the entire tower was destroyed, except the basement, on which the now visible Powder Tower was built in 1650. In horizontal cross-section, the tower was horseshoe-shaped: in some places, the thick wall of the tower faced the outskirts, while the wall on the city side was made of wood (bricks at the time were an expensive building material). The name of the powder tower dates back to the 17th century when apparently gunpowder was stored in it. There were 11 cannons in the tower, and a "bomb catcher" was installed: between the fifth and sixth floors, a meter-thick ceiling of three layers of oak and pine logs was laid. Later in the tower was a prison, and torture chambers, weapons were stored until 1883. In the walls of the tower can be seen cannonballs, which were placed in commemoration of the Second Northern War.

Sheen Anglorum Charterhouse

Sheen Anglorum Charterhouse, also known as the Charterhouse of Jesus of Bethlehem and as Nieuwpoort Charterhouse (), was a community of English Carthusians in exile in what is now Belgium after 1539 and the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The name is derived from the former Sheen Priory, and "Anglorum" means "of the English" in Latin.
The community was located successively in: Bruges (Val-de-Grâce) (1559–69); Bruges (Sinte-Clarastraat) (1569–1578); Namur (1578); Louvain (1578-nk); Antwerp (nk-1591); Malines (1591–1626); and Nieuwpoort (1626–1783). The charterhouse at Nieuwpoort achieved stability, and endured until, as part of the rationalist reforms of the Emperor Joseph II, it was suppressed in 1783.
One of the first priors was Maurice Chauncy (d. 1581). John Duckett, prior in the early 17th century, was the son of Blessed James Duckett (martyred at Tyburn 19 April 1601) and the uncle of Blessed John Duckett (martyred at Tyburn 7 September 1644). Others connected with the community were Francis Nicholson (1650-1731) and Theodore Augustine Mann (1735-1809), prior from 1764 to 1777.
The last prior, Father Williams, died at Little Malvern Court on 2 June 1797. His papers, the seal of Sheen Anglorum and various relics passed into the possession of the Carthusians of Parkminster.

Neds Point Fort

Neds Point Fort is one of several Napoleonic batteries built along the shores of Lough Swilly in county Donegal, to defend the north west of Ireland. It was part of a scheme to fortify Lough Swilly and Lough Foyle against French Invasion during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. It is situated near the once important naval town of Buncrana and its current form largely dates to works completed between 1812 and 1813. It comprised a rectangular blockhouse mounting two guns and a supporting battery mounting four guns. The fort is surrounded by a ditch.
After the end of the Napoleonic Wars the defences were neglected and not updated. In 1874 the fort was armed with two 5.5-inch Howitzers in the tower and four 24 Pounder smooth bore guns in the main battery.
It was remodeled in the 1890s as a battery with two 6-inch guns on hydropneumatic mountings. This included a central underground magazine complex and the height of the tower or blockhouse was also reduced. In addition two practice batteries were constructed for six 64 Pounder guns and four 5-inch Breech Loading (BL) guns. In 1905 it was recommended by the Owen Committee that the fort be disarmed. This was completed by 1907, and no armament was listed at the fort in a report dated to 1913.
The fort remains substantially intact, along with the practice batteries. As of 2012, the site was subject to some restoration and intended to be open to the public as a wildlife observation centre in spring of 2013.

The Acqua Pia Antica Marcia SpA society was formed in 1868 to manage and sell the waters of this aqueduct; this society was for a long time one of the main water suppliers to Rome, and still manages some fountains and drains. This proved necessary with Rome's population expansion at this period but the infrastructure's expansion was not achieved without resistance. Moves to create a secondary source for the aqueduct in the commune of Agosto led to its residents organizing a guerilla army, which stopped the society from creating this new source until the end of the Second World War.

Royal Theater Heerlen

Situated close to the Heerlen train station, this egg shaped building dates back to 1938 and was one of the oldest cinemas of the Netherlands. It was designed by Frits Peutz (best known for the Glaspaleis) and J. Bongaerts. The buildings behind it are from a later date and include another building by Peutz (Rivoli, 1958).
It originally had 1180 seats (some sources say 814, but 1180 is more likely); this amount was later reduced by almost half for more leg room, leaving 743 seats).
History.
In 1903 Laurentius van Bergen, who ran a funfair company, decided to start a traveling cinema besides his other attractions. He stopped running the cinema, however, to concentrate on his funfair attractions. Twenty years later he left his company to his sons Alexander, Max and Mathieu. They saw little profit in running a funfair company and, in 1931, switched to running cinemas for good. In 1932 they built their first cinema, a huge success, in Roermond. Heerlen, a booming mine city, seemed a good place to run another cinema, although there were already a substantial number of cinemas in downtown Heerlen (Stadschouwburg, Hollandia, and Universal), but since they all belonged to the same owner (Verenigde Bioscoop-Theaters te Heerlen-Hoensbroek, a company owned by Erwin Hirschberg and his brother Curt) the Nederlands Bioscoopbond allowed a new cinema in Heerlen.
While the Hollandia theater was being renovated the building of the Royal started; the Royal has to become the most beautiful and biggest cinema in Limburg. After a building period of 100 days, the Royal Theater opened its doors on January 29, 1938 and surpassed the Hollandia Theater, which had reopened two weeks earlier, in size.


Theatre on Nassau Street

The Theatre on Nassau Street, or The New Theatre, was probably the first purpose-built theatre in Manhattan.
It was a two-story wooden structure, owned by merchant and former governor Rip Van Dam, and it opened on 11 December 1732 with a performance of "The Recruiting Officer". The building was located at what is now 64-66 Nassau Street, between John Street and Maiden Lane.
In 1750, shortly after Van Dam's death, it hosted New York's first-known performance of a musical, "The Beggar's Opera", presented by a London-based traveling troupe, Murray & Kean's. This was also the first record of professional actors in New York; previously all productions had been amateur affairs. In 1753, actor and director Lewis Hallam expanded the theatre, describing the new structure as "very fine, large and commodious." But only a few years later, in 1758, the building was converted to a German Calvinist church, and finally demolished in 1765 to be replaced by a more substantial building which remained on the same site until 1822.


The Haig

The Haig was a jazz club located at 638 South Kenmore Avenue in Hollywood. Along with the Tiffany Club it was one of Los Angeles's premier jazz venues in the 1950s and strongly associated with West Coast jazz.
History.
Author James Lincoln Collier describes the club as "the best-known Los Angeles jazz club of the day". Located across from the Ambassador Hotel, which housed the famous supper club,The Cocoanut Grove. The Haig club was originally a bungalow home, which was then converted by owner John Bennett into a club. It has been described as looking more like a doll house than a club. In early 1952 Gerry Mulligan walked into the club and found Erroll Garner, Bobby Short and others jamming without amplification. He joined in on an informal Monday night jam. He would later take over the jam night. Mulligan would audition and work with artists such as Chet Baker, Chico Hamilton and Bob Whitlock and many others.
In its time, Erroll Garner, Shorty Rogers, Red Norvo, Laurindo Almeida, Ornette Coleman and Bud Shank all played the club. Gerry Mulligan's first California band was formed at The Haig and maintained an eleven-month engagement there beginning in the spring of 1952. This edition of the Gerry Mulligan quartet would help to bring trumpeter Chet Baker to prominence. In its short life the pianoless quartet released several records for Richard Bock's Pacific label.

The centre features major retailers including Farmers, The Warehouse, Countdown, Briscoes Homeware and, since the first half of 2017, a North Shore car dealer's showroom complete with cars. The Glenfield Night Market is held in the car park on Sunday evenings.
History.
The mall opened in 1971 with a gross leasable area of . It was extended to in 1986. A food hall and fresh food stores were added in a 1991 refurbishment of the lower level. The mall was bought by Westfield Group in May 1996 and named Westfield Glenfield. A major renovation by Westfield in 2000 cost $100 million and enlarged the mall to 29,700 m2, with an increase from two levels to five levels.
In a 2008 rating of New Zealand shopping centres by a retail expert group, Westfield Glenfield received just two out of four stars, the lowest rating in the country (though not the lowest that would have been possible), based on the criteria of amount of shopping area, economic performance, amenity and appeal as well as future growth prospects. The reviewers considered that the centre was facing strong competition, including from its newer and larger sister centre Westfield Albany. The centre's management disagreed and noted that the centre remained a convenient family-focused destination.
On 30 November 2015, Scentre Group, the owner and manager of Westfield Shopping Centres, sold the mall to Ladstone Glenfield Limited, a subsidiary of Ladstone Holdings Limited. The mall was put up for sale again in September 2018.

The Guanghe Theatre () is a theatre located in the Qianmen district of Beijing that was a long-time host to Beijing opera performances and the site of the beginning of Mei Lanfang's career when he was ten years old. It is the oldest theatre in the city.
History.
Initially the building, which was built during the late Ming dynasty (1368–1644), was home to a rich salt merchant, but it was turned into theatre in the last years of the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (1711–1799) in the Qing dynasty and showed Beijing opera performances as late as the 1970s.
After that, audiences dwindled despite attempts to regain visitors by organizing dances and film screenings in the 1980s and the theatre fell into disuse; Since the reform and opening up, many old theaters have been turned into ashes in the bulldozers of urban construction, but Guanghe Building has been spared from disaster. In order to maintain its livelihood, it has let go of movies, hosted a ballroom dance competition, and once played the game hall. Since 1996, no Beijing opera performances have been held there.
The building was closed down before it was declared unsafe in 2000. On April 23, 2007 Chinese state media reported that the historic building would be demolished and replaced with a more modern venue at another location.

The theater was built in the Beaux Arts style in 1926. According to the theater's website, "The Heights has survived at least three fires, one bombing and "The Big Blow of 1949" when a Fridley tornado twisted the tower sign. " The Heights Theater originally ran vaudeville acts as well as first-run movies.
During the 1980s and early 1990s the theater was left in disarray though it remained open. It ran late run movies at a discount price. The City of Columbia Heights supposedly recommended the theater to be condemned. Renovations began in the mid 1990s. Tom Letness and David John Holmgren purchased the theater in 1998. The two men, who also owned the neighboring Dairy Queen, finished renovations at The Heights.
They reintroduced a Wurlitzer Pipe Organ courtesy of local radio station WCCO-AM. The renovation also included the addition of "antique chandeliers are suspended from the ceiling restored with 2600 Egyptian lead crystals", as well as new carpet, remodeled bathrooms and a new lobby. The outside of the theater was renovated thanks to the theater's original blueprints that were discovered by the University of Minnesota.
Today the theater runs first-run films as well as special events. The Heights Theater also adorns the street light banners that welcome people to Columbia Heights.

Paramount Theatre (Austin, Texas)

The Paramount Theatre is a live theatre venue/movie theatre located in downtown Austin, Texas. The classical revival style structure was built in 1915. The building was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on June 23, 1976.
In the Paramount's 100-year history, it has played host to a wide variety of acts ranging from vaudeville, musicals, legitimate theater, and movies, including premieres of such films as 1966's "Batman".
History.
The four-story theater was built by Ernest Nalle, who commissioned architect John Eberson to design the building in January 1915. The theater opened under the name "The Majestic" on October 11, 1915 and hosted various vaudeville performers including the Marx Brothers. In 1930, the theater was purchased by Karl Hoblitzelle, who renamed it to the "Paramount Theatre" and added carpeting, upholstered seating, and the addition of a giant lighted blade sign reading "Paramount". In 1941, the theater was purchased by the Margaret Reed Estate. In November 1963, the building's facade received a renovation. The renovation included the removal and reprogramming of the signature blade sign. However, the sign was never re-installed and its fate was never revealed.
By the 1970s, the popularity of television and suburban movie theaters led to a decline in theater attendance. In 1975, proprietors John M. Bernardoni, Charles Eckerman, and Stephen L. Scott formed a nonprofit group to restore the building, which was in deteriorating condition. Local philanthropist Roberta Crenshaw, who owned a 50% stake in the building through her late husband's estate, donated her half of the trust to the nonprofit, meanwhile, the other half of the trust offered a 99-year lease. In 1976, the theater's listing on the National Register of Historic Places qualified the venue for federal restoration funds. Renovations began in September 1977 following a $1.85 million grant from the federal government, which was also used to spur economic development in Downtown Austin.
In 2015, the theater embarked on an effort to recreate the signature blade sign that was lost in 1963. Since there were no known architectural or engineering plans for the original sign, the designers analyzed old footage of the theatre that included the sign. On September 23, 2015, the blade sign was lit for the first time in over 50 years.


Former Tanaka Family Residence

The Former Tanaka Family Residence (旧田中家住宅) is a western-style building located in Kawaguchi, Saitama.
It was constructed in 1923 for Tokubei Tanaka, a "miso" industrialist. He later went into politics.
The building from the outside is constructed in brick. Inside however there are Japanese-style rooms and western-style rooms. The building was unusual for its time that it had three stories already. It is an example of early western influence on architecture in Japan. For example, the wooden staircase is in the western-style. The "fusuma" sliding door on the outside is western, however the room it leads to is Japanese and therefore the inside of the sliding door is in traditional Japanese-style as well.
The residence is not be confused with the one located in the Kyōdo-no-Mori museum in Fuchū, Tokyo, which was relocated there.


Gereja Ayam

Gereja Ayam is the common nickname for an unusually shaped church in the area of Magelang in Central Java, Indonesia. The nickname, which translates to Chicken Church in English, arose because the structure's shape resembles a hen to most onlookers, although the builder intended it to be the shape of a dove.
The building was erected during the 1990s by Daniel Alamsjah, who claimed to have been inspired by God to build a prayer house through a dream he had in 1989. Alamsjah is Christian, but envisioned Gereja Ayam as a place to welcome followers of any religion for prayer or meditation.
Due to financial difficulties and local resistance, the construction was never finished. The construction was halted in 2000 and the building has since largely been left to deteriorate. In spite of this, in recent years the place has become reasonably frequented by tourists, as well as by couples seeking either to take wedding photographs or to be wed in the building. Besides serving in a religious capacity, the building has also been used to rehabilitate handicapped children or drug addicts, or as an insane asylum. Following depictions of the site in several films over the past decade, the church has achieved a level of fame and is now a tourist attraction.
The documentary "Into the Inferno" from 2016 devotes a segment to the church. It argues that the church was intended to have a connection with a local volcano, as the head of the dove points in the direction of the volcano.


Kongsvoll

Kongsvoll ("Kongsvold Fjeldstue") is a historic mountain lodge built on the site of a former inn located in the Drivdalen valley in the municipality of Oppdal in Trøndelag county, Norway. The original inn dated to the 12th century. The oldest buildings of the present mountain lodge date from the 18th century.
Nearby is found the Kongsvoll Alpine Garden of NTNU.
Background.
Kongsvold Fjeldstue is located along the Pilgrim´s Route ("Pilegrimsleden") and Old Kings' Road ("Kongeveien") between the cities of Oslo and Trondheim. During his reign, King Eystein I of Norway ordered the construction of mountain stations ("fjellstue") along the route that pilgrims followed in visiting the shrine of St. Olav in Trondheim. These stations, including Kongsvoll, were inns where pilgrims crossing the mountain passes could find food and shelter. This one was built along the Driva river in Oppdal.
The oldest buildings presently at the site date from 1720. The original inn was located about from where the lodge is now located. In 1701, a landslide damaged the inn. This resulted in a decision to move Kongsvold to the current location. In 1712, construction of the new Kongsvold lodge was started, but during the Great Northern War, Kongsvold and the other mountain lodges in the Dovre Region were burned. Reconstruction of the lodge began in 1720.
During the period 1979 - 1990, there was major restoration work completed on the historic lodge. The lodge has an exhibition about the history of the area and a collection of historical artifacts from the operation of the former inn. The Kongsvoll railway station is located from Kongsvoll.


Duo (shopping mall)

DUO (originally Hervantakeskus) is a shopping center located in Hervanta, Tampere, Finland. Its original part was designed by the architects Raili and Reima Pietilä, and was completed in the autumn of 1979. The duo has three large grocery stores: Lidl, S-market and K-Supermarket. In addition, there are Alko and Tokmanni as well as restaurants, specialty shops and other commercial services. There is an underground parking garage on the ground floor. There is a total of 11,700 square meters of retail space for rent in the shopping center.
The shopping center is part of the central axis of Hervanta designed by Pietilä, which is a nationally significant entity of public buildings. It was once intended to improve Hervanta's concrete-like appearance. The old part of the shopping center, designed by Raili and Reima Pietilä, has features that are characteristic of the architecture and Art Nouveau style of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is a kind of mix of a European market hall, a train station and a winter garden. The fountain structure and the large windows, in turn, are elements that point to the era of large European department stores.
In 2007, an extension was completed for the shopping center, which was designed by Arkkitehtitoimisto Eero Lahti Oy. It doubled the space of the business center. The opening of the new section was held in April, and the renovation of the old section was completed towards the end of the year. The business center was renamed "DUO", which indicates that the building consists of two parts, the new and the old side. In 2019, the real estate investment company Citycon sold its holdings in the shopping center to the real estate investment company NREP.

Origin of the name Canyon Ranch.
In an interview with journalist David Leighton, published in the "Arizona Daily Star" newspaper, on June 24, 2014, Mel Zuckerman tells about the origin of the name Canyon Ranch:
Zuckerman left New Jersey with his family in 1958, and traveled west to find a new home. After 5 weeks of traveling around the western United States, Zuckerman ended up in Tucson, Arizona. He visited Sabino Canyon (a canyon, northeast of Tucson, at the base of the Santa Catalina Mountains), and decided he wanted to live near the natural beauty of this place. Later on when he decided to open a health resort in 1978, along with his wife Enid, he purchased the 42-acre Double U Dude Ranch, near Sabino Canyon. The old ranch buildings were in bad shape but rather than tear them down, and potentially damage the energy of the place and scare away the wildlife he decided to rebuild them. When it came time to name the new resort he called it Canyon Ranch, "a name derived from Sabino Canyon and the Double U Dude Ranch."

Liberty Theatre

The Liberty Theatre was a Broadway theater from 1904 to 1933, located at 236 West 42nd Street in New York City. It was built by the partnership of Klaw and Erlanger.
From 1933 until the late 1980s the Liberty operated continuously as a movie theatre. In 1992 the then vacant theatre was purchased by the City of New York along with many other properties as part of the New 42nd Street renovation project.
In 1996 it was used for a staged reading of T. S. Eliot's poem "The Waste Land", with actress Fiona Shaw, directed by Deborah Warner. "The New York Times" review described the theater as "derelict". The facade of the Liberty theater was later absorbed into Ripley's Odditorium, which is part of the Forest City Enterprises entertainment complex.
In 2011, renovations were completed and the former Liberty Theatre auditorium was converted for use as a Famous Dave's restaurant. The main auditorium space later became a rental event space, with the restaurant portion along 42nd Street operating as the Liberty Diner.
From March 2015 to November 2015, Cynthia von Buhler's "Speakeasy Dollhouse: Ziegfeld's Midnight Frolic" was staged as an immersive play in the theater. The story investigates the death of silent film star and Ziegfeld Girl Olive Thomas. Barring this performance, the space has sat vacant, the Liberty Diner (and thus access to the auditorium space) having been closed since 2015 when the operators lost the lease.


Boblo Island Amusement Park

Boblo Island Amusement Park is an abandoned amusement park which operated from 1898 until its closure on September 30, 1993. Its amusement rides were sold in 1994.
The park was located on Bois Blanc Island, Ontario. It lies just above the mouth of the Detroit River. The people of Detroit, Michigan characterized it as the city's Coney Island.
Attractions.
The Nightmare, Falling Star, Wild Mouse, Sky Streak, and Screamer rides, a Ferris wheel, a zoo, and a carousel were the signature attractions. To move visitors around the island, the park constructed a small railroad. Henry Ford financed a dance hall that was rumored to have been designed and built by famed Detroit architect Albert Kahn, but was later determined to have been designed by John Scott. The dance hall was the second largest in the world, holding 5,000 dancers at full capacity and featured one of the world's largest orchestrions from the Welte company: a 16 foot tall, 14 foot wide, self-playing "Wotan"-model orchestrion with 419 pipes and percussion section.
Boblo's Scootaboats, which were very similar to well known Bumper Cars, were a popular ride. The cars operated by drawing power from an overhead electric grid unlike the Bumper Boats in use today.
Beginning in 1952, Joe Short, a man of diminutive physical stature, was employed as 'Captain Boblo', and traveled on the boats entertaining passengers of all ages. He wore a variety of colorful clothing, including a large hat with 'Captain Bob Lo' on the peak, and was typically equipped with binoculars for navigation purposes. He previously worked for Ringling Brothers Circus and captivated children with adventurous tales and knock-knock jokes until his retirement in 1974, at the age of 90. After the boats docked at night back in Detroit, Mr. Short continued entertaining at the local bars and taverns he frequented.
Bob-Lo boats.
The island is a five-minute ferry ride from Amherstburg, Ontario, and 18 miles from Detroit. For more than 85 years, the Boblo Island Amusement Park was famous for being served by the Steamer "Ste Claire" and the Steamer "Columbia" excursion boats that could hold about 2,500 passengers each. The "Bob-Lo boats" boats were sold in November 1991. Other smaller ferries served the park from Amherstburg and Gibraltar, Michigan, which were located closer to the park on the Detroit River.
The SS "Ste. Claire" was engulfed in an accidental fire while docked on the Detroit River on July 6, 2018. The fire could not be contained and destroyed the historic mahogany woodwork and upper decks. "Yeah, she's 110 years old, but she's well-built and she survived," said boat co-owner, Ron Kattoo. "We are at the point in restoration to where it was a steel skeleton structure ready to be rebuilt." Two years later, very little had been done.
Bob-Lo Excursion Co. v. Michigan.
The State of Michigan brought a racial discrimination case against the operators of the ferry service. After Michigan found Bob-Lo guilty and fined the company, Bob-Lo filed a lawsuit against the state, "Bob-Lo Excursion Co. v. Michigan", 333 U.S. 28 (1948). The case reached the U.S. Supreme Court and resulted in a notable 1948 decision construing the scope of the commerce clause. In June 1945, Sarah Elizabeth Ray and 12 other female workers involved in the war effort (and referred to as "girls" during the legal proceedings) took part in a sponsored trip to Boblo Island. Ray was removed from the boat because she was not white, enforced according to a Bob-Lo company policy "excluding so-called 'zoot-suiters', the rowdyish, the rough, and the boisterous, and it also adopted the policy of excluding colored." The Michigan Supreme Court fined the company $25 for the discrimination they presented towards Ray. The company had claimed it could exclude her because it was a private concern operating in another country and that neither Michigan nor any other state had authority to regulate commerce with Canada (a foreign country); the United States Supreme Court affirmed the Michigan Supreme Court, which had upheld the jurisdiction of the state's anti-discrimination provisions and found against the company.


Hospital of Maudes

The Hospital of Maudes (Spanish: "Hospital de Maudes") is a former hospital located in Madrid, Spain.
It is a complex of buildings including a church. The buildings are linked apart from accommodation for infectious diseases.
Architecture.
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.
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.
History.
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 intended for the use of the poorer classes of Madrid. It was inaugurated on 23 June 1916.
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.
Conservation.
It was declared "Monumento Histórico Artístico" on 6 July 1979. It has been renovated by the Community of Madrid.
The centenary of the building was celebrated in 2016 with guided visits and concerts.

It is the third most important Cemetery of Cuba in terms of patrimonial value, as much for its architecture, as for the personalities interred. His main architect was Francisco Sosa Vélez, who used Carrara marble, bronze and cast iron for the construction.
The San Carlos Cemetery came to solve the problem Matanzas had with the big number of cemeteries in the area, a figure higher than that of any other Cuban location.
The octagonal Chapel contains the remains of the martyrs of different wars of independence. Its catacombs, currently the only ones active on the island, contain 756 niches in two underground pantheons and an exclusive system of ventilation against atmospheric pollution, similar to the Tobias Gallery, in the Colon Cemetery, Havana, in Havana.


Plaza Brasil

Plaza Brasil ("Brasil Square") is located in Barrio Brasil, a neighborhood of Santiago, Chile known for its strong artistic and cultural scene. The square is bordered by Avenida Brasil to the east, Huérfanos street to the south, Compañía de Jesús street to the north and Maturana street to the west. Access to the square is via the Cumming station of the Santiago Metro.
History.
Plaza Brasil has a long tradition and history, linked to the "cañada" (English: glen) of Diego García de Cáceres. The glen stood in what is now Avenida Brasil, a main road which at various points in the past has been known as Cañada de Cáceres, Cañada de Saravia and Calle de la Acequia de Negrete.
The construction of the square dates to the beginning of the 20th century, when the Municipality of Santiago bought some buildings in the sector to form the square. It was inaugurated on January 20, 1902.
As the years passed, the square - located in a traditional neighborhood - was gradually abandoned as the sector underwent a slow depopulation, due mainly to the inorganic growth of the city of Santiago. Following the 1985 earthquake, the sector began to be rebuilt and new residents arrived, giving a new impetus to Barrio Brasil, which is now home to numerous restaurants, entertainment centers, schools and institutes of higher education.
On the western side of the square is Galpón Víctor Jara, home of the Víctor Jara Foundation and a popular night venue.
The children's play equipment in the center of the square was inaugurated in 1993 and consists of 22 play sculptures created by the artist Fédérica Matta. They represent various cultural and geographic symbols of Chilean identity.

Buna Airfield

Buna Airfield was an aerodrome located near Buna, Papua New Guinea. Built as an emergency landing ground, it was extended during the Second World War by the Imperial Japanese. A new runway was under construction until both runways were neutralized by Allied air bombing in late 1942.
American Bombing Attacks.
Buna was first subjected to American fury during the early days of 1942. A few half-hearted bombing raids by the disillusioned & discouraged Fifth Air Force's A-20, B-17, and B-25 bombers was about the worst Buna suffered. Then, in July 1942, General George C. Kenney assumed command of what was by this time, little more than a motley collection of exhausted men and exhausted planes.
