July 10, 2023 - Palácio Foz at Praça dos Restauradores 13, 1250-187 Lisboa, Portugal
"The Palacio Foz is hard to miss. With its bright pink facade and notable history, it’s a regular feature on walking tours of Lisbon. Though the exterior is nice, it’s the extravagant interior that’s really special.
Built in 1777, the palace was originally the home of the Count of Castelo Melhor. But it was the Marquis of Foz, who bought the palace in 1889, who turned the interior into the sumptuous masterpiece it is today.
Pompous gilded decorations, marble pillars, wrought iron balconies, and painted ceilings fill the French and Italian-inspired interior. A Louis XIV-style grand staircase takes visitors to a gallery with several famous paintings, and the dining room features more paintings and three crystal chandeliers from Venice. There is even another Paintings Room, with even more famous works. Perhaps most impressive of all, however, is the Grand Hall, or Hall of Mirrors, inspired by the Palace of Versailles.
In the basement of the palace is a Neo Gothic abbey, used as a restaurant in the early 1900s. Other parts of the palace are now the National Sports Museum, a Music Museum, and the Lisbon tourist office. Though the interior is not generally open to the public, monthly guided tours are available. Additionally, the palace hosts free concerts inside the Hall of Mirrors every Monday night, so get in line early." Previous description: accidentallywesanderson.com/places/palacio-foz/
179-foot, 16-story Renaissance-revival office building completed in 1909. Designed by Maynicke & Franke, it was known as the Fifth Avenue Building when it opened. The limestone facades are characterized by a base articulated with double-height pilasters, a shaft section pierced by paired window openings, and a top organized within a continuous arcade. It replaced the legendary Fifth Avenue Hotel and Madison Square Theater. The lower level was occupied in the 1920's by United Cigar Co., Hanan Shoes, and George Benjamin Tailoring.
Three dogs walked side by side on a leash, as if without interest in their surroundings. At a certain point, everyone rushed to the side, perhaps to clear the way for me and thus take the woman with them, who was watching me a little incredulously.

The Prudential Assurance Company Limited building stands at the junction between Hall Gate and Silver Street as viewed from the High Street. Hall Gate was once part of the Great North Road, later becoming the A1 road. When the A1(M) was constructed, which by-passed Doncaster it reverted back to plain old Hall Gate, an extension of Doncaster's High Street and no longer a main road through the town centre.
