I love the idea of secret rooms and hidden spaces, so I instantly fell in love with this bathroom neatly tucked between two built-in wardrobes in our hotel room

I love this! The Schofield Building (previously known as the Euclid Ninth Tower) is a high-rise building in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. The Building was modernized in the 1960’s, on the left, and restored to its original appearance in 2016.

Tatev Monastery (2) (3) by Hugi Ólafsson
Via Flickr:
The Tatev Monastery in southern Armenia dates from the 9th century. The monastic ensemble stands on the edge of a deep gorge of the Vorotan River. In the 14th and 15th centuries Tatev Monastery hosted one of the most important Armenian medieval universities, the University of Tatev, which contributed to the advancement of science, religion and philosophy, reproduction of books and development of miniature painting. Scholars of the Tatev University contributed to the preservation of Armenian culture and creed during one of its most turbulent periods in its history. The buildings of the ensemble were severely damaged in a 1931 earthquake and have only been partially restored.

The Sainte-Chapelle de Vincennes is a Gothic royal chapel within the fortifications of the Château de Vincennes on the east edge of Paris, France. It was inspired by the Sainte-Chapelle, the royal chapel within the Palais de la Cité in Paris. It was begun in 1379 by Charles V of France to house relics of the Passion of Christ. It is no longer used as a church, and is now a French historical monument operated by the Centre des monuments nationaux.
Here on display the side chapel with the tombe of the Duc d'Enghien who was executed in 1804. (He was charged , innocently it seemed afterwards, to be involved complotting against First Consul Napoleon Bonaparte.) The sculpture is made by Pierre Louis Deseine in 1824.

By now, you know that I love lofts, but had to settle for a lofted apt. (not even close). Anyway, this gorgeous 1915 building is available in Fort Wayne, IN. You get the living quarters plus the 2 commercial rental units downstairs, so the whole building. The loft has 5bds, 6ba, and is listed for $3,999,900.
These are the stairs but you can take the elevator from the garage.
Look at the size of the kitchen. Love the black cabinets.
This was impeccably done.
The pantry includes wine storage.
Plenty of room for a dining table of any size.
Seating area.
Gorgeous library.
The TV room has a huge glass wall that opens to the patio.
The patio is huge and the wall on the other side is for the formal dining area.
For some reason, they don't show any of the bedrooms, but each one has an en-suite bath.
I've never seen a brick shower.
And, here's a walk-in closet.
This bd. is used as a home office, so it has an en-suite.
Beautiful large laundry room.
The garage around the back.
There's the elevator that goes up to the living quarters.
One of the tenants. This is convenient, a dentist downstairs.
It's a beautiful building to own. (Fat chance at these prices.)
