A La Ronde, Summer Lane, Exmouth, Devon.
A La Ronde is a sixteen-sided property built in the 18th century for two cousins Mary and Jane Parmenter. It is Grade 1 listed, the gardens are Grade 2 listed. It is now run by the National Trust.
The house was built in 1796 and is based loosely on the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna, Italy. There was on the lower floor, a strong room, wine cellar and kitchen. The upper part of the house, there were bedrooms, study and many collected items. The cousins were fond of travelling and bought back many shells and other collectables.
Another feature were the triangular closets with diamond shaped windows. There has been quite a bit of renovation. A new bathroom was installed, central heating and new dormer windows fitted. More construction took place, a water tower and laundry room was built. This work took place when Rev. Oswald Reichel took over the tenantship in 1886. There is a Shell Gallery on the top story of the house which has been restored back to how it looked when the two cousins owned the property.
Another building that was erected in the cousin’s time was the ‘Point-in-View Chapel’. Alas a building I did not visit but the house and garden very worthwhile a visit when you’re close to Exmouth.
Wait ... don’t take those Christmas lights down yet.
Everyone knows that when summer rolls around it is time to hang your best draperies on the porch. Not only do they look like a decorator has just redone your porch, but they provide shade in certain areas, sort of. The sun never comes directly from the right side which is the north. The worst sun will hit the left side, the south, all afternoon. No drapes are hung there, however.
It is also important to get out the Tiki torches for that festive touch. Just be careful they are not too close to the drapes.
Lastly you want to put up a pressed tin barrier between the drinking guests and the edge of the porch so they don’t inadvertently step or fall off.
That’s it! It’s party time! BYO

Glanmore was completed in 1883 for John Philpot Curran Phillips. The building was designed by Thomas Hanley, a Belleville architect who was born in Read.
This impressive yellow brick house reflects the architectural style of the eclectic Second Empire. It features an irregular shape, with bay windows and projections; iron cresting outlining the main roof; a coloured, fish-scale pattern of slates on the concave mansard roof; wide eaves supported on carved brackets, and the original wooden eavest roughs. Stone trimmed windows and doorways have semi-circular and elliptical heads, and wood trim ornaments the semi circular heads of the dormers windows656
The Alte Rathaus at Bonner Marktplatz [de] was built between 1737 and 1738 in the Rococo style by the electoral court architect Michael Leveilly; however, it was not completely finished until around 1780. The four-storey building has seven window axes and a gambrel with dormers. It stands as a Baudenkmal [de] under Cultural heritage management.
Apart from its central location in the Bonn-Zentrum [de] and its former function as the seat of the municipal administration, the town hall has also become famous for the gilded perron on the market square. In the course of history, this has repeatedly been the scene of important events, with famous personalities appearing there before the people of Bonn.

The Eyes of Sibiu are the iconic eyebrow dormers on the roofs of Sibiu's houses. The eyes have become a symbol and a tourist attraction of the city and have given Sibiu the nicknames of The City with Eyes. They vary in shape – most of them are trapezoid-shaped, others having rounded or elongated forms.
Although the eyes originate from the 15th century, some were built as late as the 20th century. They were most likely invented by a local of Sibiu, because they are widespread in the city and its surroundings. They are an element of Baroque architecture.
There are legends, according to which the eyes were built to frighten the people, making them believe they are being watched. Their real purpose was to act as a ventilation system for the houses' attics.

Herborn is a historic town on the Dill in the Lahn-Dill district of Hesse in Germany. Scenic attractions include its half-timbered houses. In many of the tiled roofs there are a good number of dormers.
The castle Gartrop is a moated castle in the Hünxer district of Gartrop-Bühl. The castle arrangement lies near the country road between Hünxe and Schermbeck-Gahlen in the lip meadows in the southern area of the nature reserve high Mark-Westmünsterland. From the settlement of the former castle employee the today's place Gartrop developed.
The arrangement can be visited every second Thursday within the scope of events of the country inn resident there.
The plastered mansion in the strict style of the Dutch baroque is surrounded on three sides by a pond-like moat. In the 2-storey construction structural fabric of the first castle house from the 14th century is still included.
Four wings of the building surround a narrow inner courtyard which is roofed with a view dome. Besides, the eastern one and the western wing are shorter than remaining both and come out risalitartig of the construction body. The main entrance is in the biaxial east wing with a low watch tower which is concluded by an embowed bonnet with open lantern. Other three tracts of the simple construction own in each case a level hipped roof with small dormers.
7-stage steps lead to the main entrance from sandstone which is flanked by two half columns which run out on top in obelisks with ball handle. About the entrance the stone alliance coat of arms Albrecht Gisberts of Hüchtenbruck and his first Mrs. Johanna Katharina von Heiden as well as his second Mrs. Agne Maria von Bernsau is found.
Moreover, the annual number 1675 tells of the end of the construction time under Albrecht Gisbert son Albert Georg von Hüchtenbruck.
The most important space of the mansion is a big baroque hall in the ground floor which is developed to the Beletage. He owns a luxuriously formed relief stucco cover which is together with an alike formed copy in the castle Anholt incredibly on the Lower Rhine. Moreover, he owns a colourfully calm Lambris with about that to hanging, painted wall strings and a rococo chimney of marble which is up to height of the cover wood.
Nevertheless, central centre is the former inner courtyard which was reshaped by a roofing to a 2-storey hall. She serves with her pilasters as a Vestibül and stairwell. From there all rooms of the mansion are accessible. Their creation partially occurred in Dutch, partly in the classicistic style.
Old wall strings – the so-called Gartroper chinoiseries – were discovered in progress by restoration works from 2005. Besides, it concerns nine coherent canvases of 3.5-metre height and 80-to 98-centimetre width. On silvery gleaming, green ground with flowers and tendrils paintings they show the plants which are populated by exotic birds and in Chinese inspired scenes with women and children. Findings point to the fact that the strings come from the big baroque hall, because they well fitted to the green wooden version at that time of the space. Later the wall disguising was transferred in a smaller cabinet which was converted in the course of the time into a kitchen, so that the canvases disappeared, besides, under a wallpaper from the early days.
The Gartroper chinoiseries are especially valuable in her form and quality and incredibly in the space from the Lower Rhine. Merely in Potsdam teahouse of Friedrich II. comparable is found. Models for the wall strings very much popular in the 18th century in the Chinese style are rococo paintings as for example from Antoine Watteau and François Boucher.
. . . I haven't been to many national parks, but I have stayed here at least 3 times in my life. But Alas, it is closed in the winter!
The pain, the anguish! All I can do is walk around it, stare in the windows, and dream about sitting in front of that 5 story massive fireplace!
My stay in 1989 (the year after the fires in the park) was a lucky one, we scored the middle dormer right above the observation deck, what a treat!
Have a great weekend Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
Die Dachgauben im alten Johanniskloster von Stralsund sind sehenswert. Nichts ist wie das Andere, Alles ist einzigartig und vieles schief.
This is what is called a "French Canadian Style" house and they always have slanted roofs and dormer windows, with usually stone outside walls. I have always admired these homes and they are usually well kept and probably expensive.
NB: Again my Group Award ICONS are wiped out. Why? Is it an accident by someone or is it deliberate? This is happening to several of my photos.
