Town Mansion, Belgium. One of the first grand (semi) abandoned houses I ever visited!
A mysterious man living (or squatting) in the attic gave me permission to enter and photograph. Outside a storm raged, lighting flashed and thunder shook the house. It was a memorable visit!
Built in 1912, neighbouring houses were lost to First World War bombing, leaving this one as a rare survivor.

A quotation from Henry Commager
It is the function of the university to preserve what is best in the heritage of the past, and pass this on to the future; what other institution can do this so magisterially? Its function is to inflame the minds of the young with passion to serve society, and to train them for that service; what other institution does this? Its function is to inspire all its acolytes with a sense of the beauty and the dignity of the search for truth, and to make sure that this great task will never be neglected. Its function is to stand aside from its own society and its own time, to exalt those values that are universal and timeless. Its function is to push outward the bounds of knowledge — knowledge of the physical universe, and of the nature and history of man, and thus enable man to confront and perhaps even to triumph over those problems which crowd about him so pitilessly. No other institution can do this.Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
Speech (1971-04-10), “The University and the Community of Learning,” Kent State University, Ohio

Just a quick map of all the (mostly archaeological) entities in #openstreetmap with a known Sites and Monuments number. The big circles are points (810), while the small ones are areas (5006). 145 of them also have an NIAH (architectural heritage) number.
