    This A house looks pretty perfect for me, or indeed for anyone whose name begins with A.

    I love this photo of the old Chorlton station. Its ghost rises again in the form of a new metro stop, which threatens to open any day now. The new metro line follows the old railway line route.

    I found it when reading about Manchester Archive's historical photo project. They want help in pinpointing the location of the subjects in their photography collection. Browse the map here.

    Elizabeth Felicella's photographs accompany Donald Judd's (1989) essay about his New York home and work space. 

    "I thought the building should be repaired and basically not changed. It is a 19th century building. It was pretty certain that each floor had been open, since there were no signs of original walls, which determined that each floor should have one purpose: sleeping, eating, working."

    This is such a great looking building - and nice to read an article about actually working in its offices; via The New York Times.
