Modern Medieval: Chelsea's New Football Cathedral. Friday, July 24, 2015. Here in the States, sports stadiums can be either hit-or-miss, and their styles are all over the map. There are traditional venues, like baseball’s Fenway Park or Wrigley Field, popular newer venues like Baltimore’s Camden Yards, or huge mega-parks, like the Dallas Cowboy’s AT&T Stadium. The design of sports stadiums is a specialist trade, generally dominated by a handful of successful firms. National Trust [UK] - Places News.

The Long Gallery: At Least You Can’t See it From the Street
http://thelonggallery.blogspot.com/2015/06/at-least-you-cant-see-it-from-street.html
At Least You Can’t See it From the Street. Friday, June 5, 2015. That’s why I have a hard time with this Tudor in Rye, NY. 8211; where the owner tacked this very contemporary addition onto the back of a modestly-sized Tudor Revival home. I suppose I’ve seen worse; the color and materials do complement the existing house to some extent, but the end result just doesn’t work for me. It’s like you took two totally different house and jammed them together. At Least You Can’t See it From the Street. No Surpris...

The Long Gallery: August 2013
http://thelonggallery.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. Wednesday, August 14, 2013. It's hard not to be inspired on a beautiful morning.especially after the summer we've had so far. Plenty of rain has kept everything green, and a number of projects keep calling my name. Just finished the mailbox; next I will be adding some corbels on either side of my bay window and maybe some detail in the gable above the porch - including a finial post. We'll see. A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. In This Case, I'll Say Bravo to "Faux".

The Long Gallery: In This Case, I'll Say Bravo to "Faux"
http://thelonggallery.blogspot.com/2013/08/in-this-case-ill-say-bravo-to-faux.html
In This Case, I'll Say Bravo to "Faux". Friday, August 9, 2013. To some, the very thought of using one material to simulate another is a vile concept; the quest for “truthfulness” in every aspect of building construction is of utmost importance—and anything that might be considered “fake” or “simulated” should be shunned at all costs. Which brings me to the subject of this post, which is a new product available in the UK: Telford-based Faux Wood. The product that they finally developed is molded from ori...

No Surprise: Charles a Housing, Heritage Advocate. Thursday, June 4, 2015. While I have seen and even paged-through Prince Charles’ 1989 book, A Vision of Britain: A Personal View of Architecture. Many times, I have never purchased a copy. I suppose I should. That’s why the recent release of the Prince’s correspondence. It’s the second batch of letters released under a freedom of information request. I’m not quite sure what the request had hoped to uncover, since the letters support what ...I have seen f...

Homes of the Rubber Barons: Harvey Firestone's Harbel Manor. Posted by Mark S. Monday, November 16, 2009. Luckily, Akron still has Stan Hywet Hall.
