A Mansion in the City

Who knew you could fit a 26,000 square foot mansion in the heart of the city? The Ames-Webster Mansion, built in 1872 on Dartmouth Street, contains 50 bedrooms, 28 fireplaces, a four-level staircase, a two-level conservatory (shown in the last photo), and a carved oak great hall.

Did I mention the asking price starts at a mere $18 million?...

Scenes from a Movie

These World War II forts are so strange-looking! They're like something out of Star Wars or a science fiction novel.

These fortified towers were constructed in the estuaries of the Thames and Mersey rivers to help protect the United Kingdom from enemy attacks during the war. Since then, they have been abandoned by the military and used for various purposes. One is even a sovereign state - the micronation of Sealand!
