This well-known building in Istanbul (formerly Constantinople) has a rich history that stretches across centuries, with each floor showcasing a different time period. The foundation is a Roman cistern, which was forgotten and buried due to earthquakes and rising ground levels. During the Roman and Byzantine eras, the area was busy with merchants, and the cistern likely served their needs. Close by is a historic bath used by Janissaries in the 15th and 16th centuries, which might have also used water from the cistern during that time.

Date Built1890 Architect / BuilderChauncey B. Seaton NeighborhoodRiverside Historic District National Register Date02/27/1975 The Review Building houses the offices of the Spokesman-Review, Spokane’s principal newspaper. It is one of the tallest buildings in Spokane; its tower is taller than the main roofs of the Paulsen Medical and Dental and Old National Bank buildings. Since its construction, it has been one of the most conspicuous buildings in town. Located on an irregular lot, its architect, Chauncey B. Seaton designed it to fit the shape of the lot well. Seaton came to Spokane in the aftermath of the Spokane Fire in 1889 to help rebuild Spokane. In 1890, he designed and supervised the construction of the Spokane Exposition Building. Although he designed the Review Building, he left before it was completed. In its early days, the building housed the Hotel Review in the upper floors. It also housed the Spokane Daily Chronicle until the build ng became too crowded, and the Chronicle moved into its own building, next south in 1921. The Review Building was erected to house the Review, an evening daily paper, which was established by Frank Dallam as a weekly paper in 1883. Its closest competitor was the Spokesman, a democratic paper owned by a group of Spokane businessmen. In 1893, the competition between the two newspapers necessitated a merger if either was to survive. Out of this the Spokane Morning Review was born, under the management of Harvey Scott, H. L. Pittock, Anthony Cannon, and W. H. Cowles. The Panic of 1893 severely hurt the paper, and Cowles came to Spokane from Chicago to salvage it. He gained total control and created the Spokesman Review. W. H. Cowles was an important and influential businessman in Spokane. He was a founding member of the Spokane Chamber of Commerce, regional director of the Boy Scouts of America, and director for the Associated Press for thirty-three years. Theodore Roosevelt, Herbert Hoover, and William Howard Taft sought his advice. The family still owns and runs the paper and are generous civic benefactors in Spokane.

On April 9, 2016, the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art - North Carolina and the Salem College Historic Preservation Program sponsored a Historic Building Trades Workshop at Salem College in Winston Salem, NC. Three master professionals in plaster work, woodworking, and brick masonry addressed historic restoration work through demonstrations and hands-on learning opportunities. Attendance expectations were exceeded with 43 students, teachers, building professionals, and homeowners interested in historic preservation attending the event. Originally founded as Salem College and Academy for women in 1772, the college is ranked as the oldest women's college in the nation. The lovely campus near downtown Winston-Salem is a treasure of meticulously-maintained historic buildings and structures. Heather Fearnbach, Coordinator of the Historic Preservation Program at Salem College, kicked off the event. The program offers a Historic Preservation Certificate to students interested in the stewardship of historic structures. Numerous students working on their Certificates attended the event. Jeff Allen, Vice-President of the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art - North Carolina Chapter, discusses recent activities with the recently expanded North Carolina Chapter. The first topic, plaster repair in traditional buildings, was presented by Patrick Webb. Patrick is a heritage and ornamental plasterer and advocate for traditional hand craft in preservation, natural building and traditional architectural specification. He has taught as a Professor of Plaster Work at the American College of the Building Arts in Charleston. He serves as technical consultant to heritage plaster manufacturer Platres Vieujot, assisting them in proper plaster systems and specifications . As a hands-on workshop, attendees had the opportunity to mix plaster of Paris for cast molds. Photo courtesy of Heather Fearnbach. Students complete filling of the cast molds. Patrick prepares for a demonstration using a running mold. The jute is used as reinforcement material in the moulding. The jute gets a thick coating of plaster The jute and first coat of plaster are lined up under the blade of the running mold. Photo courtesy of Heather Fearnbach. After several more coats of plaster, the moulding is taking shape. Photo courtesy of Heather Fearnbach. After some final touch -ups... The final result is a time-honored plaster molding that is enduring and beautiful. One great advantage of plaster mouldings is that they do not experience shrink-swell due to humidity changes that can be detrimental to wood mouldings. Once the plaster in the cast molds is set up, Patrick reveals the forms produced. Student Alisha Whicker Ramsey is happily rewarded with a beautiful plaster medallion souvenir. The second topic, woodworking with traditional hand tools, was presented by Daniel Chasse. Daniel is a Carpentry and Wood Technology Instructor in the Historic Preservation program at Edgecomb Community College in Tarboro, NC. Daniel's presentation focused on the many type of hand planers used in traditional woodwork. From very small finger planes used for musical instruments to jointer planes and Cooper planes 36" long or longer, Daniel has them in his collection. Daniel demonstrates correct blade sharpening techniques. Student Ashleigh Miller planes a board with a block plane. Photo courtesy of Heather Fearnbach. Student Amelia Hughs planes a board with a wooden jointer plane. Photo courtesy of Heather Fearnbach. The third topic, restoring brick masonry, was presented by Wayne Thompson. Wayne is a mason specializing in historic preservation and is based in Hillsborough, NC. Wayne discusses the importance of using the right mortar for the job. In historic preservation work, the mortar needs to be analyzed to ensure in has less compressive strength than the brick. Mortars that are harder than the brick will lead to cracking and spalling of the brick. Wayne typically uses lime putty mortar in his preservation work. Several mock-up boards were provided for hands-on repointing work. Students develop their skills at repointing with lime putty mortar. Photo courtesy of Heather Fearnbach. Once the mortar has firmed up, Wayne demonstrates how to remove the excess mortar. Photo courtesy of Heather Fearnbach. Student Tink Wood enjoys developing her repointing skills.

Heather Fearnbach and Jeff Allen worked very hard to make this workshop possible. Several board members on the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art - NC participated in the workshop.

Strange as we crossed the river and thought that was the downtown area and ran across this magnificent sturture, The Midway Theater sustained $1 million in damage in on Aug. 7, 1980, after a lounge fire caused the roof to cave in. The cause of the blaze never was definitively determined, but was believed to be electrical. In 1981, Marvin Palmquist bought the building and commissioned local architect Gary Anderson to develop plans for its rebirth
Dupaco reinvestment in its downtown roots would enhance member advocacy; attract and retain workforce; and boost community priorities.
When complete the building will have a cafe, student art gallery and an art-making studio.
Pivot Point, a great new art gallery, has opened in a historic building a mile from downtown Knoxville. Scenes here from the preview party.
