		Reitz Home Museum,Evansville, Indiana. Restored Victorian Home, National Register of Historical Places ^Votes:0 224 S.E. First Street, Evansville, Indiana, 47713 USA (812) 426-1871 The Reitz Home Preservation Society welcomes you to the Reitz Home Museum. Evansville, Indiana's only Victorian House Museum is situated in the heart of the city's downtown Historic Preservation District. It is noted as one of the country's finest examples of French Second Empire architecture. John Augustus Reitz had already made his fortune in lumber by the mid-1850's, but it was not until 1871 that he built this home to reflect his station in life. The eldest son, Francis Joseph, took over the house after his parent's death in the 1890's and completely redecorated the home's interior in a variety of Victorian styles. Authentic period furniture, much of it original, is arranged as if the family is about to return. Silk d Read More Go to Site

		The Virtual Museum of Cham Architecture ^Votes:0 Welcome to the Virtual Museum of Cham Architecture, a site dedicated to the temples of the rarely-known Kingdom of Champa. Located in southern and central Vietnam, the Kingdom was traditionally founded in A.D. 192. At its height, it even managed to sack the mighty city of Angkor. Although Cham people still exist today, Champa as an independant state officially ceased to exist in 1832 - though it never really recovered from the military defeat of 1470. Along with the Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand and Indonesia, Champa was heavily influenced by Indian immigrants in the first millenium A.D. Its architecture certainly shows this, but also has elements unique to Champa. Come in and see for yourself. N.B.

		Welcome to Schloss Reichenstein ^Votes:0 We wish to welcome you to this fantastic journey into the dark, mysterious and, sometimes, romantic history of one of the Rhine River Castle's. Like the castle itself, improvements are always being made. We visited this castle in September, 1993. From the photos, brochures, and notes that my wife and collected in our one day and one night stay at the castle, I have compiled this little "virtual" tour guide in the hopes that you may wish to visit the castle someday. By today's standards the quality of our stay would be rated very high and the cost very affordable. The food, as it is anywhere in the country, is phenomenal. The stay was very interesting, being that in the late evening hours we were the only occupants in the entire castle grounds. No caretakers, staff or management. Read More Go to Site
