The first Masonic hall in Ipswich was located on Brisbane and Thorn Streets, opening in 1863. The first meeting in the hall was on the 9th of March 1864 and the last meeting was on the 23rd of June 1868. From this time up until 1875 when a permanant home was constructed for the lodges, meetings were held at various places including Tattesall's Hotel, th Wintergarden Theatre, and the National Bank.
The foundation stone for a new hall on the corner of Nicholas and Roderick Streets was laid on the 3rd of November 1875. By 1927, the hall was no longer adequate for the lodges and a new hall was planned for the land beside the second hall. The foundation stone of the new hall was laid by Charles Stumm on the 18th of August 1928. Designed by Henry Wyman and constructed by Brother J. Hoare, this building was dedicated on the 8th of December 1928.

Perched high above the waters of Lake Sevan, Sevanavank is one of Armenia’s most recognisable monastic sites. The monastery was founded in the 9th century on what was then an island; falling water levels during the Soviet period later transformed it into the peninsula seen today.
The Pavilion Carlos Lopes was designed to be the Pavilion of Portuguese Industries in the 1922 during the International Exhibition of Rio de Janeiro, being built mostly with elements transported from Portugal to Brazil.
Tiles surround the building that depict parts of the history of Portugal.
After the exhibition it was dismantled and transferred to Portugal, being implanted in Lisbon since 1932 in the Parque Eduardo VII, having been the site of the Great Exhibition of Portuguese Industry.
It was used during decades for performing sporting, cultural, artistic and political events.

🇫🇷 Français🇫🇷 La Lieutenance : Dernier rempart médiéval d’Honfleur ⚓La bâtisse en pierre qui domine le Vieux Bassin sur ce cliché n'est autre que la Lieutenance. Ce monument emblématique d'Honfleur doit son nom au fait qu'il servait, à partir du XVIIe siècle, de logis au Lieutenant du Roi.Il s'agit du seul vestige important des anciennes fortifications de la ville, qui entouraient autrefois le quartier de l'Enclos. Sa structure actuelle mêle harmonieusement les époques : sa base en pierre calcaire remonte à la fin du Moyen Âge (XVe siècle), englobant la « Porte de Caen » qui protégeait l'accès à la cité, tandis que la partie supérieure en briques et à pans de bois date des modifications successives des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles.C'est depuis ce bastion stratégique et la porte fortifiée attenante que de célèbres navigateurs ont largué les amarres. Parmi eux, Samuel de Champlain, qui est parti d'ici en 1608 pour son grand voyage vers le Nouveau Monde, où il fonda la ville de Québec
.🇬🇧 English🇬🇧 The Lieutenance: Honfleur's Last Medieval Stronghold ⚓The¨ majestic stone building overlooking the Old Harbor (Vieux Bassin) in this photograph is the famous Lieutenance. This iconic monument of Honfleur owes its name to the fact that, from the 17th century onwards, it served as the official residence for the King's Lieutenant.It stands as the only significant remnant of the town's ancient fortifications, which once enclosed the historic "L'Enclos" district. Its current architecture beautifully blends different eras: the limestone base dates back to the late Middle Ages (15th century), incorporating the "Caen Gate" that used to protect the city entrance, while the upper brick and half-timbered section comes from successive renovations in the 17th and 18th centuries.It was from this strategic bastion and its adjoining fortified gate that legendary navigators set sail. Most notably, Samuel de Champlain left from this very spot in 1608 on his historic voyage to the New World, where he founded the city of Quebec
