Typical entrance to Victorian tenements built by James Pullen, 1886-1901. Arch ornamentation is of terracotta with high relief keystone and capitals, possibly the work of the Jennings Pottery of Poole, Dorset. Now part of the Pullens Estate Conservation Area, although it took direct action by locals to save the buildings from demolition in the 1980s. Amelia Street, London Borough of Southwark.

Entrance to numbers 1 to 8 of Victorian tenements built by James Pullen & Son between 1886 and 1901. The estate is considered to be of special architectural and historic interest as a good example of a later Victorian speculative development by a local builder. London Borough of Southwark.

This handsome lunette window on the Franklin & Marshall campus caught my eye. The building dates from the early 1920s, according to my local oral historian.

I like the colors and also those three Art Deco-ish lighting fixtures.

In the early '70s I lived in the Turftorenstraat only a few doors down from nr 28. At that time the street was narrow - since then a low-rise apartment building and a little square have been constructed opposite those nrs - leading from the canalised river Aa sloping slightly upward into the heart of town. Until the mid-sixteenth century at the lower end on river's edge stood one of the town's twenty towers, the so-called Turftoren (=Peat Tower). The street descends from the Kleine and the Grote Kromme Elleboog (Small and Great Crooked Elbow). In my time the former was part of those places of ill repute on which I remarked a couple of days ago (www.flickr.com/photos/87453322@N00/48995344938/in/photost...)
Ah! the stories I'm sparing you that I heard early mornings from the ladies-of-the-alleys as we cued for bread at the once popular now defunct bakery in the crook of both Elbows!
Anyway... where was I? Oh! that transom light. That nr 28 - as most of the houses along the street - was then rather derelict. Now it's been nicely restored, or at least painted well. I don't remember it being called 'Het Ommelander Wapen' (=Ommeland Arms). Pubs and hotels down from at least the Middle Ages often take the name of the coat of arms of an aristrocratic family or a favored city; think of pub names in England. The 'Ommelanden' are the areas around Stad which came to fall under its jurisdiction. The present name is probably a throw-back to emphasise respectability and historical continuity.
The metal floral garland in the transom light is particularly attractive. And in the glass the gilt ribbons reflect - as it were - the golden autumn colors of the trees in the little square opposite.
