The Marienkapelle is a Roman Catholic church located at the Unterer Markt of the town of Würzburg, Bavaria. It was built in the Gothic style in the 14th century. Despite its large size, it is a chapel by status, as it does not have a parish. Today it is administered by the united parishes of the Würzburg Cathedral and the Kollegiatstift Neumünster. The chapel was heavily damaged by the Bombing of Würzburg in World War II and its interior was destroyed by flames. It was rebuilt in the 1950s and re-consecrated in 1962. Its two best known works of art, the sculptures of Adam and Eve by Tilman Riemenschneider, are today located in the Mainfränkisches Museum and have been replaced in-situ by copies. The chapel is also the place of burial of noted Baroque architect Balthasar Neumann.

The Converse Memorial Library – also known as Converse Memorial Building – is a historically significant building designed by noted American architect H. H. Richardson. From 1885 to 1996, it housed the Malden Public Library, which now occupies a modern building adjacent to it. The former library is located at 36 Salem Street, Malden, Massachusetts. The building was a gift of Elisha S. and Mary D. Converse in memory of their murdered son, Frank Eugene Converse, who was the victim of the first bank robbery/murder in North America. It was constructed 1883-1885 in an overall L-shape, with a facade of brown Longmeadow sandstone, a tower rising from the L's inner corner, and a heavily arched entry porch set within the L's short arm. The main library room is 50 x 36 feet and finished in elaborately carved white oak with a high, vaulted ceiling. Its furniture was designed by Richardson and manufactured by the Boston firm of A. H. Davenport and Company.In 1896 two additions were made to the building, designed by Richardson's successor firm, Shepley, Rutan & Coolidge. One gable-roofed wing extends the building to the rear, along Park Street, following the same general lines of the existing structure. The other addition was a flat-roofed rectangular stack area also attached to the rear. An octagonal gallery space further extended the rear in 1916, designed by Newhall and Blevins.The Converse Memorial Building was the last of Richardson's library designs, and is generally considered among his finest works. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1987.
Malacañang Palace is the official residence and principal workplace of the President of the Philippines. It is located in San Miguel, Manila and is commonly associated with Mendiola Street. The term "Malacañang" is often used as a metonym for the president and his advisers. The sprawling Malacañang Palace complex includes numerous mansions and office buildings designed and built largely in bahay na bato and neoclassical style. The original structure was built in 1750 by Don Luís Rocha as a summer house along the Pasig River. It was purchased by the state in 1825 as the summer residence for the Spanish Governor-General. After the June 3, 1863 earthquake which destroyed the Palacio del Gobernador in the walled city of Manila, it became the Governor-General's official residence. After sovereignty over the Islands was ceded to the United States in 1898, it became the residence of the American Governors, with General Wesley Merritt being the first.Since 1863, the Palace has been occupied by eighteen Spanish Governors-General, fourteen American Military and Civil Governors, and later the Presidents of the Philippines. The Palace had been enlarged and refurbished several times since 1750; the grounds were expanded to include neighboring estates, and many buildings were demolished and constructed during the Spanish and American periods. Most recently, the Palace complex was again drastically remodeled and extensively rebuilt during the term of Ferdinand Marcos. Among the presidents of the present Fifth Republic, only Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has actually lived in the main Palace, with all others residing in nearby properties that form part of the larger Palace complex.The Palace has been seized several times as the result of protests starting with the People Power Revolution, the 1989 coup attempt ; the 2001 Manila riots; and the EDSA III or May 1 riots.
Maison de Balzac é uma casa-museu na antiga residência do romancista francês Honoré de Balzac . Ela está localizada na rua Raynouard, em Paris, França, e está aberto diariamente, exceto segundas e feriados, das 12:30 às 17:30 horas; o acesso à casa é livre, mas é cobrada uma taxa para as suas exposições temporárias. O escritor habitou a casa entre os anos de 1840 e 1847, período em que estava escrevendo e revisando obras da Comédia Humana. O museu apresenta diversos objetos e móveis pessoais de Balzac, quadros e outras obras de arte feitas por outros artistas e críticos a partir do legado do autor. Nas estantes e mesas, são dispostos livros, manuscritos e ilustrações originais.A casa é situada em Passy, que era uma cidade até 1860. Balzac se mudou para a casa porque era distante de Paris, principalmente dos bairros onde estão a Ópera e o Museu do Louvre. Na metade do século XIX, o francês já era uma celebridade.Apesar da fama, acumulava dívidas estimadas em mais de 1 milhão de reais. Balzac juntou todas as dívidas após ter uma tipografia, uma gráfica, uma revista e um jornal. O imóvel possui três andares e hoje, mantém seu ambiente de trabalho como na época em que o escritor morava na casa. Ao alugar a casa, ele não assumiu as responsabilidades legais ao entrar lá. O contrato foi assinado no nome de Philiberte-Louise Breugnol, que na verdade era a Louise Breugniot. O escritor ocupava a parte central e oeste da casa - a outra parte era alugada por outra pessoa. Quando os visitantes entram pelo portão da rua Raynouard, não é possível avistar a porta da casa, que foi construída no nível abaixo da rua. O patrimônio, assim como a casa-museu do Honoré de Balzac, é prestigiado pelos franceses. A casa é uma herança cultural, que apresenta parte do legado do escritor, nos móveis, paredes e todos os objetos pertencentes ao autor. Algumas paredes internas da casa têm trechos de obras de Balzac. Em um dos cômodos, todas as paredes apresentam uma linha do tempo com todos os personagens criados pelo escritor. A Maison de Balzac foi doada à cidade em 1949 e aberta ao público em 1960. Alguns objetos do museu foram presentes do autor para a sua amada, Ewelina Hańska, com quem ele se casou cinco meses antes de morrer. O conceito de casa, para Balzac, foi expresso em sua obra literária. No livro "Cenas da vida privada", parte da Comédia Humana, o autor se refere às casas dos personagens com palavras como "refúgio", "ninho, "abrigo" e "cabana". Nesse sentido, a Maison localizada em Passy tem papel central para a compreensão de como a obra e a vida de Balzac estavam sempre atreladas. Durante os anos em que viveu no local, a casa era seu refúgio.
