Technically, "Building 47," part of the Yard Commandant's HQ complex. Built 1870 on the site of Adm. Farragut's original 1850s HQ, and facing Alden Park and its bandstand.

.................

You want whole building? I give you whole building. ;)

Formal name, location, and decade of construction.

I am a bit frustrated by the last challenge: it is not a building but a staircase. Taking a part for the whole. The thread is not "Do you know this building where this part comes from?"

Unfollowed.

Hello Alberti,

I look at a part of a building as just another challenge. I look at the plants: What type of climate do they live in? I look at the brickwork: What time period & what style from where? Why is it that the staircase & the brick work don't seem to go with each other? & so on.

And don't forget interpreting people's answers: What did they say & what did they not say?

No "Google" here.

Best Regards,

Michael

Your somewhat cryptic answer leads someone to think of either Cuba (Less likely.) or Barbados (More likely.).

Very logical, however neither Cuba nor Barbados. The "cryptic answer" will be understandable once the exact location is identified.

Capela De Cristo Church Puerto Rico? Visited San Juan as a teen and remembers several smaller churches but my brother was the one one that identified this tonight. Does still count if correct?

I think "a call to a friend" is allowable - Capilla de Cristo de la Salud, San Juan, Puerto Rico - 1750-1780.

On the north coast of PR and therefore overlooking the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. But for anybody's money, on a Caribbean island.

Actually my brother came to visit for the week and asked why I was looking so intently at the photo, I told him about my Puerto Rico hunch and he came back with Capilla de Christo. The guy has photographic memory.

Here's my contribution. Perhaps a bit too easy but...

A conservatory at a botanical garden, but where?

The word "botanical" is in the building's name, the word "garden" is not. During the Second World War the Lily Pond in front of the structure was used by a Navy to train its sailors.
