The Utah State Capitol is the house of government for the U.S. state of Utah.

The Senate chamber, which houses the Utah State Senate, is located in the northern part of the center wing. The Utah State Senate is composed of 29 senators, who serve for terms of four-years. Senators sit facing north, towards the speaker. The chamber was expanded during the renovation, removing the walls on each side, opening what were hallways to the floor of the chamber.

Salt Lake City - Boston Building

Samuel Newhouse began his south downtown empire by financing the construction of these two buildings. He named the Boston Building, to the north, after his Boston Consolidated Mine. The Newhouse Building, to the south, he named after himself, of course. Newhouse intended to construct a similar pair of buildings at the east end of Exchange Place, but went bankrupt before he could undertake this project.

The Boston and Newhouse Buildings are considered Utah’s first “skyscrapers.” In an attempt to bring some of the sophistication and prestige of the East to Salt Lake City, Newhouse hired famous Chicago/New York architect Henry Ives Cobb to design these towers.

Take a moment to look at the elaborate stone ornamentation on these buildings from the west side of Main Street. Notice how Cobb incorporates similar elements on each building, but varies their location and prevalence to give each building a distinct appearance.

The Musée d'Orsay is a museum in Paris, France, on the left bank of the Seine, housed in the former railway station, the Gare d'Orsay, an impressive Beaux-Arts edifice built between 1898 and 1900. It holds mainly French art dating from 1848 to 1915, including paintings, sculptures, furniture, and photography, and is probably best known for its extensive collection of impressionist and post-impressionist masterpieces (the largest in the world) by such painters such as Monet, Manet, Degas, Renoir, Cezanne, Seurat, Gauguin and Van Gogh. Many of these works were held at the Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume prior to the museum's opening in 1986.

Notre Dame de Paris - Apse Cross

*Checco* posted a photo:

Notre Dame de Paris, also known as the Notre Dame Cathedral, is a Gothic, Roman Catholic Cathedral on the eastern half of the Île de la Cité in the fourth arrondissement of Paris, France. It is the cathedral of the Catholic archdiocese of Paris: that is, it is the church that contains the "cathedra", or official chair, of the Archbishop of Paris. Notre Dame de Paris is widely considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture in the world. It was restored and saved from destruction by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, one of France's most famous architects. The name Notre Dame means "Our Lady" in French, and is frequently used in the names of Catholic church buildings in Francophone countries. Notre Dame de Paris was one of the first Gothic cathedrals, and its construction spanned the Gothic period. Its sculptures and stained glass show the heavy influence of naturalism, unlike that of earlier Romanesque architecture.
