Minster House
Minster House is a historic building in Ripon, a city in North Yorkshire, in England.
The house may lie on the site of the Bedern, the college of vicars of Ripon Minster. This was built in 1414 and dissolved in 1547, following which there was a failed proposal to use the building as a theological college. The current building was constructed in the early 18th century, when it was known as "The Hall". In the 19th century, the house was owned by the Oxley family, who erected their shield of arms over the main door. In 1945, it was purchased by the diocese to become the residence of the Dean of Ripon. The building was grade II* listed in 1949.
The house is built of red brick, with stone quoins, a floor band and a parapet. It has two storeys, a south front of seven bays, a west front of five bays, and two slightly projecting bays on the east front. In the centre of the south front is a doorway with a broken pediment containing a coat of arms. The windows are tall sashes with moulded sills and keystones. Inside is what Historic England describes as a "very fine staircase", and early wood panelling and fireplaces. In one room there is wainscotting dated to about 1600, which is believe to have come from Markington Hall.
Avenida Corrientes
Avenida Corrientes (English: Corrientes Avenue) is one of the principal thoroughfares of the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires. Over a central stretch it is popularly known as "The Street that Never Sleeps" ("La calle que nunca duerme") widely considered Buenos Aires' answer to Broadway as it concentrates many of the main theatres and cinemas as well as famous pizzerias and cafes, being intimately tied to the tango and the porteño sense of identity. Like the parallel avenues Santa Fe, Córdoba, and San Juan, it takes its name from one of the Provinces of Argentina.
It extends 69 blocks from Eduardo Madero Avenue in the eastern Puerto Madero neighborhood to the West and later to the Northwest and ends at Federico Lacroze Avenue in the Chacarita neighborhood. Automobile traffic runs from west to east. Line B of the Buenos Aires Metro runs most of its length underneath the street.
The Asociación Amigos de la Calle Corrientes ("Friends of Corrientes Street Association") is a group that collaborates on the urban planning of the street. They have placed commemorative plaques on 40 street corners bearing the distinguished figures from the history of the tango.

Whitby Pavilion
The Whitby Pavilion is a theatre and events venue in Whitby, a town in North Yorkshire, in England.
The building was constructed between 1876 and 1879, on the initiative of George Elliott. It was designed as a theatre, with a saloon and surrounded by pleasure grounds. After World War I, a large extension was constructed, known as the Floral Hall, used primarily for dances. The hall became dilapidated, and was demolished in 1989. The theatre was renovated, and the Northern Lights Suite was constructed in 1990, providing a cafe, and space for exhibitions and markets. The theatre can now seat 380 people, and the stalls can be removed to create a dancefloor.
Since 2011, the theatre has also been used as a cinema. In 2012, Scarborough Borough Council partnered with Sheffield International Venues to operate the premises, but this was terminated in 2020 as it proved unprofitable.
The building was designed by Julius Mayhew and Edward Smales in the Queen Anne style. It is described by Historic England as "a plain Victorian building of domestic appearance". The older section has a barrel vaulted ceiling.

Provanhall is the nearest neighbourhood to the east; Craigend is directly to the west, with Hogganfield Park and Ruchazie beyond.

An area of open ground (Cardowan Moss nature reserve) is to the north. The local landmarks are two water towers, which are illuminated at night.
Garthamlock was developed from 1954 onwards as part of the 'Greater Easterhouse' rehousing scheme after the city bought the estate of Garthamlock House; the house was demolished in 1955 to make way for a new secondary school (which itself closed in the 1990s). After many of the original tenements were demolished from the 1980s onwards, the area is now a mix of local authority housing and private stock, particularly following the construction of a major private development (The Beeches) by Persimmon Homes in the 2010s.
The Glasgow Fort shopping centre was built to the east of Garthamlock, partly on a disused quarry and partly on the grounds of Provan Hall House and Park (Easterhouse).
In 2016, Glasgow City Council outlined masterplans for the development of the Greater Easterhouse area (including Garthamlock) over the next 20 years.
