Golden Dome (administration building) at the University of Notre Dame. South Bend, Indiana, May 21, 1999.  Va"ike-Karja Street (Va"ike-Karja ta"nav), likely taken near its intersection with Suur-Karja Street. The building on the right with the large grey stone archway and iron gates corresponds to Va"ike-Karja 1 (also known as the Saarinen House), a prominent Art Nouveau building designed by Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen. The street features a mix of architectural styles. The grey stone building on the right is a notable example of early 20th-century national romanticism. Further down the street, you can see pastel-colored facades typical of Tallinn s Old Town. Tallinn, Estonia, October 16, 2025  Jesse Hall (administration building). University of Columbia in Missouri, October 23, 1999.  Trube Castle (1890) at 1627 Sealy Street, a corner of 17th Street in Galveston.

Roof detail of Trube Castle (1890) at 1627 Sealy Street, a corner of 17th Street, in East End Historic District. Galveston, Texas, January 1, 2011  A perspective of Rataskaevu Street, looking up the gentle slope towards the intersection with Niguliste Street. The building on the right with the striking yellow and grey modern facade and large arched window is home to Casa Alta, an Italian restaurant. The architecture of this building stands out for its postmodern interpretation of the gabled roofline, contrasting with the older structures nearby. The pinkish-red building on the left side of the street (Rataskaevu 6) is a historic property. It currently houses Restoran O~ (or a similar establishment depending on recent changes), known for its fine dining in a medieval setting. Further down on the left, you can see signs for other venues like De 6 and Vana Tallinn. Tallinn, Estonia, October 16, 2025  A grey squirrel gnawing a nut on its home range near Mechanical Engineering Building. Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, October 1, 1999.  S.-w. side of Purdue Mall, view from Electrical Engineering Building. Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, October 29, 1999.  Rataskaevu Street (Rataskaevu ta"nav) in Tallinn s Old Town. The focal point in the small square is the famous Cat s Well (Rataskaevu), which gave the street its name. According to local legend, a water spirit lived in the well, and the townspeople would sacrifice stray cats into it to prevent the wells from running dry. The yellow building on the left (Rataskaevu 7) houses the St. Petersbourg Hotel. It is the oldest operating hotel in Tallinn, originally opened in 1850 and located in a 15th-century building that was once a Russian merchant s home. Opposite the well (out of frame to the right, but significant to the street s lore) is the building at Rataskaevu 16, famously known as the site of "The Devil s Wedding." Legend says the devil held a party in the upper room of this house, and to this day, there is a painted "false window" on the facade to block the view into that haunted room. The building now houses a very popular restaurant of the same name. Tallinn, Estonia, October 16, 2025  Purdue Mall, the fountain, and Hall of Administration, view from Electrical Engineering Building. Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, October 29, 1999.  A striking architectural contrast on Sauna Street (Sauna ta"nav), near the intersection with Va"ike-Karja Street. On the left, a modern glass-and-steel building features large display windows and industrial-style staircases, illuminated by neon lights. This building is part of the Helios Hall complex (formerly the Helios Cinema), which has been repurposed as an event venue and art space. The transparent facade allows a view into the contemporary interior, contrasting sharply with the solid, historic walls of the Old Town. On the right, the corner of an older, plastered building (Sauna 12) is covered in colorful, abstract graffiti. This gritty, urban element acts as a foil to the clean lines and slick surfaces of the modern building opposite it, highlighting the eclectic mix of styles in this part of the city. Tallinn, Estonia, October 16, 2025  - Campus of University of Michigan in Ann Arbor 12/11/99 (Chicago, Ann Arbor MI, Lafayette IN, December 4 - 15, 1999)  A section of Uus Street (New Street), a quieter and historically significant lane on the eastern edge of Tallinn s Old Town. The sign on the right marks the entrance to the Haus Gallery (Uus 17). Founded in 1997, it is one of the oldest and most respected private art galleries in Estonia, known for exhibiting both classic and contemporary Estonian art. The gallery is located in a historic building with a large courtyard often used for events. Just beyond the gallery, the flag hanging from the building (Uus 15) is the tricolor of Lithuania, identifying the Embassy of the Republic of Lithuania. This establishes the street as a diplomatic quarter as well. The image starkly contrasts the well-maintained facades of the embassy and gallery on the right with the heavily graffitied and peeling wall of the yellow building on the left (likely the rear or side of a building facing the parallel Sulevima"gi street). This juxtaposition highlights the ongoing struggle with tagging in less-monitored corners of the Old Town. Uus Street runs parallel to the old city wall (parts of which are visible nearby). Historically, it was developed later than the central merchant streets (hence "New Street"), originally serving as a defensive zone before being built up with residential houses for craftsmen and lesser merchants. Tallinn, Estonia, October 16, 2025  - Happy Hollow Park in West Lafayette 12/15/99 (Chicago, Ann Arbor MI, Lafayette IN, December 4 - 15, 1999)  Indianapolis(?) airport seen from a window of a plane Saint Petersburg - Frankfurt - Chicago - Indianapolis, April 28, 1999.  - in a park near Ann Arbor MI 12/12/99 (Chicago, Ann Arbor MI, Lafayette IN, December 4 - 15, 1999)  The lower end of Pikk Street, looking back up towards the Town Hall spire. It captures a charming intersection where the street forks. Corner Building (Pikk 12 / Kinga 10): The centerpiece of the image is the distinctive corner building with a mansard roof and red tiles. It houses another branch of the Veta linen and knitwear shop. The building s shape is triangular, adapting to the acute angle where Pikk and Kinga streets meet. Its architecture is a mix of styles, with a portal that hints at older origins but a roofline that suggests 19th or early 20th-century modification. In the distance to the left, you can clearly see the illuminated spire of the Tallinn Town Hall rising above the rooftops, serving as a navigation point for anyone walking up Pikk Street. Tallinn, Estonia, October 16, 2025  Campus of University of Illinois at Chicago, with University Hall to the left and Sears Tower at background. November 22, 1999  Museum of S. I. Vavilov State Optical Institute, decorations on the ceiling (the room has reach interior because the building was expropriated from a wealthy family after the Great October Socialist Revolution). Vasilyevsky Island, Saint Petersburg, Russia, April 14, 1999.  Museum of S. I. Vavilov State Optical Institute with an old artistically decorated chimney and a Soviet-era exposition. (the room has reach interior because the building was expropriated from a wealthy family after the Great October Socialist Revolution). Vasilyevsky Island, Saint Petersburg, Russia, April 14, 1999.

Garden Street before local elections. West Lafayette, Indiana, October 28, 1999.  Garden Street near Northwestern Avenue. West Lafayette, Indiana, October 30, 1999.  Evening view of Lai Street (looking towards St. Olaf s Church). The large grey building on the right (Lai 44/46) stands out with its curved bay windows and decorative facade elements. This is a fine example of Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) architecture, which appeared in Tallinn during the early 20th century. Its smoother lines and larger windows contrast sharply with the smaller medieval merchant houses nearby. On the left, the yellow building (Lai 33) retains a more traditional, modest scale typical of the street s residential past. At the end of the street, the illuminated white tower of St. Olaf s Church (Lai 50) acts as a dramatic focal point. The lighting accentuates the church s massive walls and the green copper spire against the twilight sky. Tallinn, Estonia, October 16, 2025  Stained glass in a building in Harvard University, Boston.

Fourth of July decorations at South 9th Street in Lafayette IN, 5 July, 1999.  View along Mu"ndi Street (Mu"ndi ta"nav), looking towards the Tallinn Town Hall and its iconic spire. This short, cobbled street connects Pikk Street to the Town Hall Square (Raekoja plats). Historically known as "Mu"ndrikute ta"nav" (Street of the Porters), it was a key route for goods moving from the harbor to the market. The large pink building on the right (corner of Mu"ndi and Kinga streets) is a prominent residential and commercial block. Its ground floor houses souvenir shops like Lina, selling traditional linen goods, and the Japarto Crepes & Waffles cafe (visible signage "TURU" further down). The building s mansard roof and regular fenestration are typical of the 19th and early 20th-century renovations in the Old Town. At the end of the street, the Tallinn Town Hall (Tallinna raekoda) rises majestically. It is the oldest surviving Gothic town hall in Northern Europe, completed in 1404. Tallinn, Estonia, October 16, 2025  Museum of S. I. Vavilov State Optical Institute with an old artistically decorated chimney and a Soviet-era exposition. The museum was settled in a former typewriting office (the room has reach interior because the building was expropriated from a wealthy family after the Great October Socialist Revolution). Vasilyevsky Island, Saint Petersburg, Russia, April 14, 1999.  A view of Kullassepa Street (Kullassepa ta"nav), a short but lively street that connects Niguliste Street to the Town Hall Square (Raekoja plats). The prominent building on the right (Kullassepa 4) houses Mikkeller Tallinn Old Town. This is a bar and restaurant operated by the famous Danish craft brewery Mikkeller in partnership with a local distributor. It offers 16 taps of craft beer and serves food in collaboration with VLND Burger. The building itself is a historic structure situated just steps away from the Town Hall. Kullassepa translates to "Goldsmith s," hinting at the street s medieval history as a center for jewelry makers and artisans. The street is a bustling pedestrian zone lined with shops, cafes, and restaurants. In the background, you can see the open expanse of the Town Hall Square, making this a prime location for tourists moving between the major sights of the Old Town.
