A photo of a Roman wall with alternating bands of stone/cement with thin red brick,. The wall has three segments. One segment starts at the left, then there's a corner and the short second segment is perpendicular to the first. A second corner close to the viewpoint, and the third segment is parallel to the first and runs off the right edge of the photo.

Photo of a five-story building. The ground floor is plain sandstone, the upper stories are decorated brickwork. Each floor above the ground floor has two very large windows right in the center, reaching, very likely, from the floor to the ceiling. These are multipaned, handsome windows. Each floor might have an artist's studio on it. The other windows are normal size - maybe there are more than five floors to the left and right of the center section with the big windows.
