The Wren building at William and Mary College in VirginiaBuilt between 1695-1700Very substantial for the period though I believe a lot of it is (a very authentic) restoration or reconstruction
>>223439559I don't think there's any evidence of actual Wren involvement, is there? Still, it's the type of building I like
Fort Ticonderoga for me. And by extension Fort Crown Point and the previous French fort that once occupied it (which looked way cooler if you asked me).
Here's a model of what Fort Saint-Frédéric would have looked like. It was built in 1734 by the French to counteract British colonization in the Northern parts of the modern US. It was eventually destroyed by it's occupants when the British during the French and Indian War began to make its way over to lay siege. The British and colonial military then built Fort Crown Point in its place. Frankly the French made a better looking fort, I think.
