Old World Order

[Reverberation]

The monumental multi-turreted gothic revival building looked like it came straight out the pages of a Bavarian fairytale.

Designed by architect John Macleod and built in 1879 for the newly formed Glasgow United Evangelistic Association, it featured an imposting tower which rose to a height of 126 feet.

Heel normaal in die tijd. Gewoon gebouwd, no problemo!
De mensen werkten harder, de ezels reden sneller en de hamers waren beter.

The Victoria Hotel, Des Moines, Iowa :

The Victoria Hotel was built in 1899 at the cost of $50,000. It was built on the residence of Dr. Francis Grimmel, a physician and community leader. An addition was added in 1910 at the cost of $90,000, despite the fact that some critics charged the hotel was too large for the city. Current site of an office building.

Afgebroken in 1962.

City Market (Charleston, South Carolina)

Foto uit 1865 :

Initially known as the Centre Market, Charleston's City Market was developed to replace the city's Beef Market building (on the site of Charleston's City Hall, 100 Broad Street), which burned in 1796.

Uiteraard...

Market Hall is a Greek Revival-style building consisting of one raised story resting atop a rusticated open ground-level arcade. The building's high base and frontal portico were inspired by Greek and Roman temples such as the Temple of Portunus and Temple of Athena Nike.[1] The portico contains four Roman style Doric columns that support the entablature and pediment, and is accessed by a double flight of stairs with elaborate iron work. The upper floor is scored in an ashlar pattern. The cornice, portico, and Doric capitals are red sandstone, while the triglyphs and moldings are cement.[6] The metopes in the entablature are decorated with alternating bucrania and rams' heads, which are symbols for a meat market. The hall's exterior brick walls are covered with brownstone stucco.

Want dat is exact de stijl die men nodig had, toen, daar in Charleston, om vlees en andere dingen te verkopen.

Charleston's first public market was established in 1692 at the corner of Broad and Meeting streets, although a formal brick building wasn't built at the site until 1739. This first "Beef Market" was replaced by a more appealing structure in 1760, and within a short period, new markets for fish and general merchandise were established along Vendue (Queen) and Tradd streets.[5] In 1788, Revolutionary War general Charles Cotesworth Pinckney and other landowners along an existing canal[7] donated a strip of recovered marshland for the establishment of the "Centre Market," which would stretch from the docks of Charleston Harbor to Meeting Street.

The first market sheds were erected around 1790 and gradually expanded to occupy most of the strip from the harbor to Meeting Street by 1806.[6] After the Beef Market building burned in 1796.

In 1838, a fire destroyed the market's headhouse, and the city enlisted local architect Edward B. White (1806–1882) to design the current headhouse, Market Hall, which was completed in 1841. The upper room of the hall initially served as a large assembly room and later as a military recruiting office at the outbreak of the Civil War.

While Charleston's City Hall was undergoing significant repairs in 1881-1882, the mayor worked out of Market Hall.

The Church of the Disciples 1873 - 1899 NYC :



Normale kerk nietwaar?

https://daytoninmanhattan.blogspot.c...s-madison.html

Like everything else in Rev. Dr. Hepworth’s life, his plans for a permanent church building were aggressive and monumental. Fund raising among the congregation—whose numbers included respected citizens like Ulysses S. Grant and Russell Sage—resulted in $100,000 towards the new structure. Three lots at the southeast corner of Madison Avenue and 45th Street were purchased in 1872 for $125,000 and Lawrence B. Valk was commissioned to design the structure.

Valk, whose office was at 229 Broadway, specialized in religious architecture and he had recently devised an innovative interior layout that provided unrestricted views of the minister to a large number of parishioners. The architect would later advertise his concept in “The Year Book of the Congregational Christian Churches of the United States.”

“The attention of Pastors, Trustees, and Building Committees is called to the new form of circular seating on a bowled floor, combined with every requisite for comfort, seeing, hearing, and churchly appearance…Every regard paid in the cost to any required economy, and in all cases the cost will be guaranteed for complete edifices.”

The building was completed a year later. It was a dizzying assemblage of towers and domes, gables and entrances. Although the membership was just 800, the church was designed to hold 2,500.

Een jaar, en klaar! Een kerk voor een gemeenschap van 800, En over het orgel ga ik niet eens beginnen, en ook niet over het enorme raam dat een doorsnede van ons DNA is, dat is voor later.

Iemand een idee waar dit is?

Gebouwd, uiteraard, tussen februari 1889 en december 1891.

The Ou Raadsaal was commissioned in the late 19th century by the South African Republic as the new seat of government in Pretoria, and was designed by Dutch architect Sytze Wierda in a Renaissance Revival style. The contract for construction was granted to John Johnstone Kirkness, a builder from the Orkney Islands with a prolific building career in the region, at a sum of £82,500. Construction began in February 1889 with the cornerstone laid by President Paul Kruger on 6 May that year, and the work was completed in December 1891.

Uiteraard, dezelfde stijl, dezelfde kolonnen, dezelfde koepels, dezelfde ornimentatie... En uiteraard geen weg te bekennen, gewoon modder.
Dezelfde heel zware funderingstenen.

Wij kunnen nog geen fiets/voetpad leggen op 2 jaar tijd op een drukke steenweg dat 132 jaar trotseert.

Gebouwd met perfectie.

Federal Hotel Coffee Palace, 555 Collins Street

Waar?

Melbourne, Australia

The Federal Coffee Palace was a large, elaborate French Second Empire style 560 room temperance hotel in the city centre of Melbourne, Victoria, built between 1886 and 1888 at the height of the city's 1880s land boom, and demolished in 1972-73.[2] Located on Collins Street, the premier thoroughfare, on the corner of King Street, near Spencer Street Station (the address is now 555 Collins Street), it is prominent in lists of the buildings Melburnians most regret having lost.

Een koffie paleis... want uiteraard was dat nodig, en uiteraard moest het die stijl zijn, daar in die strafkolonie, Australie.

In June 1885, the local businessmen and politicians James Mirams and James Munro established the Federal Coffee Palace Company, and announced their intention to issue £100,000 of shares to buy the plot on the corner of Collins and King, and build a seven-storey temperance hotel to the design of Tappin Gilbert and Dennehy, that would be 'the finest in the city'.

In November 1885, perhaps not satisfied with that design, the Company held a competition;

the first prize was awarded to Ellerker & Kilburn

Construction began in early 1886,[12] and it opened in July 1888,[13] in time for Melbourne's Centennial Exhibition, which opened at the Exhibition Buildings on 1 August.

Dit is de vismarkt, Melbourne foto 1890 :







Want ja...

In March of 1860, an official fish market was proposed for the site.

De markt, die er al was zag er zo uit, kennelijk :

The new Fish Market opened on 23 December 1865, in a purpose-built building that was the first of its type in Australia. Built of white brick and stucco with a large central chamber rising to 52 feet (15.8 metres), it was surrounded by four slate-slabbed stalls for retailing fish

Ofcourse.

This impressive building on the corner of Queen Street and Flinders Lane shows how quickly Melbourne was growing, but some parts developed more quickly than others: we can see that the streets are still unpaved dirt paths.

Prell's Building I (centre) and Prell's Building II (background) on Queen Street in 1903, Prell's Building III is obscured behind Good House on the right.

Friedrich Wilhelm Prell was born in Hamburg, Germany, and migrated to Australia at the age of 21. There, he founded the import/export business of F. W. Prell and Company Limited.[42] In 1886, the vice-president of the Otis Elevator Company, W. F. Hall, visited Melbourne from the United States and had a conversation with Prell, noting that Sydney had six Otis hydraulic lifts in operation, while Melbourne had none. Hall remarked that men who had to climb stairs in Melbourne's offices would do so with great difficulty, reaching the top floor with "aching legs, a fluttering heart, and a firm resolution to do business elsewhere".[7]

In response, Prell built a five-storey office building on the northwest corner of Queen Street, to which he added Otis safety elevators that operated using water pressure.[43] Prell planned two more buildings, one of seven storeys and one of nine storeys. His plan changed to three nine-storey office buildings in the same block of Queen Street, between Collins Street and Flinders Street. F. M. White and Sons designed the three complementary buildings in Renaissance Revival style. They were constructed between 1888 and 1889.

Wilson Hall University of Melbourne, Parkville :

Construction of the first Wilson Hall, the gift of Sir Samuel Wilson, who offered the University £30,000 in 1874 for this purpose.1Building began in 1878 and the hall was opened in 1882.

It was designed in the Perpendicular Gothic style by Joseph Reed and constructed in stone and was built on a very generous scale

Drawings exist of a large organ in the rear gallery of Wilson Hall, but the economic climate was such that this could not be commissioned.

In the 1930s, Hill, Norman & Beard quoted to build a substantial organ for Wilson Hall, envisaged as a donation from philanthropist Norman Brookes. Two schemes survive in his papers at the University of Melbourne Archives. Construction of the organ did not proceed.

En natuurlijk :

In 1952 this building was badly damaged in a major fire.
