Looks like more stone than brick, but I'll guess anyway,  Fort Point, SF?

Correct. Your turn.

[jdlaing]

And stone on one level and brick on another.

[war]

From simple dressed stone to elaborately detailed carved stone. 

The name/location.....

I’ll sit this one out for a day. See if anyone else gets it.

Stayed in the nice “Parador” -hotel on the left side of this square. Your picture shows the Catedral de Santiago de Compostela, the end-station of your “camino”.

[war]

Correct, you're up next.

 Yes, nice is an understatement, the parador is probably the best in the entire country.  Imagine making that long pilgrimage and ending up in this amazing place.

Of course, as it was originally a hospital (with the prefix Royal) they really “treat” you accordingly.

Here is the next one:

Nice photo, iconic view.

I'll just say 14 & 15 in case someone else wants to jump in. 

[AZach]

And the 14 & 15 were 2 out of a total of 21.

Are you sure it wasn’t 33? (Though 16-25 are lost....)

You could be right as well, depending on what the number indicates, one source says : “Of the 21 structures designed by 17 architects, it was houses 14 and 15 that drew the most interest, receiving both positive and negative critiques.” The pictured structure was designed by 2 architects (out of the 17), who were cousins.

[NigelG]

I meant the “house” numbers....bear in mind that for example Oud’s (single) structure was terraced (or row) houses 5-9 etc...

From memory Scharoun’s is No. 33 (I could dig out my old lecture notes...🤔)

Weissenhof Estate, Stuttgart Germany

Le Corbesier.

[AZach]

Sure, twin-house (now a museum) by Le Corbusier & Pierre Jeanneret in Stuttgart. Your turn.

The anchor suggests a sea coast location, probably in North America.

Correct.

Hallo,

Look here: Interesting Leica gear

[war]

The anchor design and the 1855 date, definitely US Navy.  So either East or West coast. I'll guess East.
