St. Asaph Cathedral
St Asaph Cathedral (Welsh: Eglwys Gadeiriol Llanelwy) is a cathedral in St Asaph, Denbighshire, north Wales. An Anglican church, it is the episcopal seat of the Bishop of St Asaph. The cathedral dates back 1,400 years, while the current building dates from the 13th century. It is sometimes claimed to be the smallest Anglican cathedral in Great Britain.
A church was originally built on or near the site by Saint Kentigern in the 6th century (other sources say Saint Elwy in 560). Saint Asa (or Asaph), a grandson of Pabo Post Prydain, followed after this date.
The earliest parts of the present building date from the 13th century when a new building was begun on the site after the original stone cathedral was burnt by King Edward I in 1282.
The rebellion of Owain Glyndŵr resulted in part of the cathedral being reduced to a ruin for seventy years. The present building was largely built in the reign of Henry Tudor and greatly restored in the 19th century.

In Old Mesilla, near Las Cruces, New Mexico, there are buildings that have been there since the mid 19th century. Josefina's is one such place.
This is the old gate to Josefina's cafe. It's a landmark, a place that is used for reference, as in "Just across from Josefina's gate" or "Down the block from Josefina's gate." There's another entrance to the cafe, and as far as I know, this one is never opened.
Nothing in Old Mesilla (otherwise known as La Mesilla or just Mesilla) is changed or altered without permission from the town. The city square is a historic landmark. It's a small village of little more than 2,000 people, but great in historic significance, if for just the buildings there.
If you look close you can see a long "ristra" or string of chili peppers hanging out to dry to the right of the doors. Peppers are one of the prime crops grown in the region. Pecan and Pistachio orchards abound, along with many wine vineyards.
The texture of the adobe on this fence and the grain of the wood really speak of history to me.
