Stephilius I...Sorry for the late response everyone!<br />Stephilius I agree that the pink is an unfortunate color -but I guess it's the original based on the huge restoration just conducted?<br /><br />Mark I never thought of it but you're so right. Kind of the horrific "they all look the same to me" type thing.<br /><br />Hels - look at the links to my other posts (a few weeks ago) - nothing else is "Turkish" like this but it's all fabulous!!<br /><br />Emile, thanks for the link to the Vauxhall pleasure gardens, I knew nothing about them! They're so similar as to be somewhat ODDLY similar. I wonder if they were influences in one direction?ArchitectDesign™https://www.blogger.com/profile/01481754380363676771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-36445774626935474592014-10-06T11:44:03.291-04:002014-10-06T11:44:03.291-04:00Like Mark I think you are onto something with your...Like Mark I think you are onto something with your characterisation of 'Turkish chinoiserie'. The architecture of this delightful fantasy Turkish building reminds me of the 'Chinese' supper boxes at Vauxhall pleasure gardens in London, with the same use of vaguely Gothic, vaguely exotic detailing: http://bit.ly/1vIIiAp Emile de Bruijnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04040735807801997971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-91642304514695564842014-10-05T11:09:09.205-04:002014-10-05T11:09:09.205-04:00Do you have a photo of the bathing pavilion?

To carry it one step further, I've often thought that the 18th-century European conception of the Native American actually looked a little like a bejeweled Middle Easterner!Mark D.

The domed ceiling is sensational. Neil brings the essence of far away places and his photography captivates.
