In Greenville, Illinois, the local college campus holds a hidden gem: the Richard W. Bock Sculpture Museum. The museum holds hundreds of pieces of work by Bock and those associated with him, including architectural drawings by Frank Lloyd Wright. The house itself is historical, as it is the home of the founder of Almira College, the predecessor (precursor?) of Greenville College (GC). Built in the mid-1850s, it went through a major renovation in 2005 in which efforts were made to remain true to the

on the site of an earlier building commissioned by Marcus Agrippa during the reign of Augustus (27 BC – 14 AD). The Pantheon borders the Piazza della Rotonda, a rectangular square with at its center an eighteenth-century fountain crowned with an obelisk. The constantly crowded square is situated in the historic center of Rome, not far from the Piazza Navona, one of Rome's most beautiful squares.

a myth, and no conclusive evidence was ever found, it still caused a public uproar and the Anti Masonic worked hard against the Freemasonry. They caused enough suspicion of the masons for their numbers to reach a record low in the 1830s to 1840s (Obelisks and Freemasonry). These numbers continued to decrease until the first World War, where they picked back up, the same being true for the second World War.

Diderot’s critique stands out among other artistic critiques of the eighteenth century in the way he manages to engage not only what is on the canvas, but also in the way he is able to instill each composition’s elements with significance in a greater context. Diderot’s critic of Hubert Robert’s work, among others, in The Salon of 1767 serves as a lesson for both artists and observers.

Jhorlia had reach the gateway, a long obelisk stylized portal switch swirled with fel green energy. Several humanoids floated above, they didn’t look like an orc or a draenei.
