A church not meant for prayers
Glasgow is well known for being an inventive city, and so is its architecture. Electing the best of the city is not only a matter of beauty, it has to embrace all the characteristics that makes something Glaswegian: history, creativity, beauty and also a little alcohol. That’s the reason that after extensive research the chosen building to represent Glasgow’s success is the Oran Mor pub.
But why choose a pub among hundreds in the city? What makes it so special? It shows in its essence the spirit of the Glaswegians, it’s part of the history and now it works providing a good time (and drinks) to the population.
The former Kelvinside Parish Church was built in 1862 by J.J. Stevenson (Campbel, Douglas and Stevenson). It started with the moves of John Blackie, a publisher and writer. He knew that a residential development was about to take place west of Kelvinbridge, an area that was receiving lots of attention after the University of Glasgow moved to Gillmore Hill, and new people were about to move in. These people would need a place to worship and to keep their spiritual well-being. In a meeting with members of the Free Church of Glasgow it was decided that a new temple should be built. Soon the lands at the cross of Byres Road and Great Western Road were secured for the church. The foundation stone was laid on the 4th of September of 1862 by John Blackie. The final cost was almost two times the initial budget for the building (fig. I).

It had offices for three resident priests and two housekeepers. On August 9, 1964, a solemn groundbreaking was conducted for the new permanent church (Robinson Township Historical Society 91).” The church was built in the mid century modern architectural style popular in the 1950s and 1960s. “Construction was completed in 1966 and on August 27, 1966, the first Mass was celebrated in the new church by Fr. Krysmalski. However, the building was not formally dedicated until May 14, 1967 (“Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Church”).”
It was built on a rocky point in 1877 and has become an incredibly popular destination for tourists. With a light scope of around nine miles, the structure consists of a round brick tower and a gallery within the Keeper's House. Visitors can tour the site and, afterwards, climb the 120 steps to the tower's peak to take in a bird's eye view of the town.
A creative church is quite a powerful book that was written by, Todd Smith that takes the reader into the past, and gives the reader an opportunity to learn more about art and the history behind Art.
Since its construction in 1799, Ash-Lawn Highland underwent constant structural additions, renovations, and modifications for nearly 131 years. It is the scope of my research assignment to identify the various architectural styles and historical changes in the structure from 1799 to 1930.
A church was needed, one that could do double duty as a school, a real building to replace the bush arbor that had served that purpose in the past. A kind land owner, one of the Fouche family after whom Fouche Gap is named, offered to deed ¾ acre to the congregation as a location for their church. A fire thwarted their first attempt to build, but undeterred, they made a second building in 1879, naming it Glendale Chapel. The men cut down white oak trees to be used as sills. You can see the axe marks where they squared off the logs, and sawed planks were used for the walls. It still stands today, but only just barely.
Location: Since this pub is located close to GO Transit station, which will make it easier for everyone to commute back and forth.
In 1115, Glasgow was given a bishop, indicating the importance of the expanding settlement. While in July 1136 St Kentigern’s wooden church next to Molendinar Burn was replaced by a cathedral and was dedicated in the presence of King David 1. Which emphasises the importance of the Christian faith and of the church during this time. There was also a single street formed which created a rough path from the cathedral to the River Clyde. The bishop, clergy and their servants all formed an ecclesiastical precinct within the surrounding area of the cathedral. While the surrounding settlements expanded and began to spread southwards following along the line of Molendinar Burn. They began linking up with the nearby fishing settlements close to
James Craig won a competition held by Edinburgh’s town council for the design of a new residential area north of the Nor’ Loch in 1766 . New Town’s conception coincided with the Scottish Enlightenment period, thus there were elements in James Craig’s plans that reflected this ideology. This paper, however, will contend that while the influential extent of Enlightenment ideas did not cover the initial reasons for the town’s creation, the planning aspect of New Town’s creation and its residents whom created its culture and helped it to thrive, did. It will focus on the factors that contributed to the creation of a new town, the arrangement and purposes of the roads and buildings proposed by James Craig’s plans, and how Edinburgh’s reputation as the ‘Athens of the North’ translated into the New Town through its inhabitants.
"Why I Left the Church" by Richard Garcia is a poem that investigates the nature way of religion and the relationship that the innocence of kids has with the congregation of the church. The narrator of this work is having thought over the genuine reason he left his faith. It is an account that blends a realist method of narrating with a twist of fantasy that goes from literal metaphors to figurative metaphors similitudes in the depiction of why the narrator left the congregation.
Church a place many people go on Sunday mornings. A place to worship in the Lord and Savior or whichever God the individual believes in. Some individuals believe that church can only be held in the church building. When in reality it can be held anywhere for example the bedroom or a field. A thing that has been noticed is there are many types of people who go that fit in with a certain group. The types include everyone from the screaming child to the strict churchgoers and everything in between. Church may be a good place to go but it is believed that the churches today are corrupt.
As a group we then set out to try and contact people about this pub in which we emailed a few people, wrote on different pages based in Sunderland on Facebook asking people if they were familiar with the pub and had any experiences they might want to share. From Facebook we found Dave Murray, a local folk singer, who even had a song on his YouTube page all about The Pallion Inn. We messaged him about about meeting for an interview in which he was quite eager to do so. When we interviewed him, he mainly told us about how The Pallion Inn and how it was a big place in the community in that it was where you had your first drink, potentially meet your life partner there, was a sense of family and community, especially around Christmas when they would all come together and that the closing down of pubs today do have a significant meaning to the people in the area because the pubs are like home to them. From the interview alone, we decided we wanted to primarily focus on this pub and what it truly meant to people as it is a historic place in the area.
In order to complete my report on service experience, I was required to attend a venue as a mystery shopper and document my time within a chosen organisation in order to allow me to analyse customer expectations, and to help aid me with recommendations on how things could be improved. I chose Baroq House nightclub, as it is has been recommended to me by various friends and seems to be well attended and popular. It is located in Melbourne CBD and enforces a dress code, meaning it attracts more up market customers. I visited the venue with six female friends in early
In 1974 Dulles published Models of the Church to address questions concerning ecclesiology-the study of the church. Many people believe that they know the meaning of the church, which is a place to become closer to God. However, there is more than what meets the eye when it comes to the Church, since it is a very complex organization. Dulles' book identifies and describes the different functions the Church possesses which Jesus Christ founded and continues to oversee today. He categorizes the models into five aspects: Church as institution, Church as mystical communion, Church as sacrament, Church as herald, Church as servant, and lastly his new model Church as community. In this
A particular building or site distinguishes many cities. For example the Eiffel tower is the symbol for Paris and one may say Buckingham Palace is the symbol for London. This means that a city’s identity can be portrayed through its architecture and I believe that a building like the Lloyds building is not appropriate for the prestigious City of London.
The bar is quite large with 2 service areas with huge selection of beers and spirits also showcasing a wine selection area. The bar has a nice marble counter, which is complimented with a sleek scattered tile design.
