Guess where this is?

[Brian Ellis]

An initial search has not found it. An octostyle plain ionic portico is rare and even rarer with neither friezed architrave nor pediment, but Google has not helped me. I presume it was originally a house built by some notable in the English shires, late 18th c./early 19th c., to impress the local aristocracy. Now, I would imagine it may be used for other purposes (corporate HQ, museum, administration etc.)

Am I even slightly warm?

[Umfriend]

Isn't that thing in Norway?

[Fat Tone]

Its in the UK. Owned by the National Trust. Think photography.

[Brian Ellis]

Strange, I had already tried the National Trust, but their stupid ban on public photography makes the number of images available very limited. When I saw your ref to photography, my immediate thought was Henry Talbot, but this does not look like Lacock Abbey. The only other photo ref with the NT that appeared is Skene House and it certainly ain't that! For me, the distinctive feature is the portico, but that does not seem to figure well in NT vocabulary, nor ionic and least of all octostyle.

And to cap it all, the last thing I flogged on eBay, I gave 10% of the proceeds to the NT!!!!

Sorry, I'm stumped!

[Fat Tone]

Think Lords and royal connections. Not too far from me...

Stonyhurst Observatory?

[Brian Ellis]

OK, I needed those clues to find Shugborough Hall (never heard of it!). However, you probably never heard of Redford Barracks, either

This should be very easy.

[Fat Tone]

Sorry, I thought Lord Patrick Litchfield's photography would have given it away.

Anyway, as you say this is easy. Very French. Rouen.

[Brian Ellis]

Yup! One of Claude Monet's favourite subjects after waterlilies in his pond with the Japanese bridge!

[DukeP]

Notre Dame Cathedral, Rouen.

But didnt Fat Tone allready answer that?

[DukeP]

Here is another, which might be somewhat more difficult.



And another picture, since the first is of such poor resolution:

[Brian Ellis]

Really FT's turn!

Sisimiut or Nuuk?

[DukeP]

Its neither.

But it IS on Greenland. Its a particular building, which have something of a story (its more than 100 years old).

[Fat Tone]

I'm very happy for someone else to take a turn. I've been up to my elbows in tile adhesive all weekend, and still am today.

[Brian Ellis]

Always knew FT would come to a sticky end!

Somewhere in Nanortalik Kommune?
