architecture & building heritage wiki
Establishing a photographic record of traditional building styles and features that forms a wiki or visual database of the best and most beautiful architectural and vernacular styles and which can be used by local planners, architects and builders as an aid for developing houses and buildings that harmonise with the historic built environment and the surrounding natural landscape.
The Wiki is currently in an early stage of development. Please contribute by adding photographs with a description of the feature(s) illustrated.
Post your photographs on Noticeing using a mobile phone at the building's site and it will be shown opening from a marker on the map on the website. To log the building in the Building Heritage Wiki go to the control panel on the Noticeing website, touch the icon above your Notice then select the Building category icon and your contribution will be included in the Wiki database. You can check that it is by opening the Map & Marker settings, scrolling down to Mobile Group markers and touching the 'Local Building Features and Architecture' icon which will link you back here!
NB.In due course there will be voting on the contributions and the ability for contributors to edit the content in the wiki after submission. The current intention is to provide a source of inspiration for the design of contemporary housing.

| CHURCH OF ST HELENA, BISHOPSGATE, CITY OF LONDON. Helena of Constantinople was a Roman Empress.

| MAYFAIR TOWN HOUSE I must say that I am rather taken with the design and decoration of this house. The original building with a stucco finished ground floor and brick and stone upper levels is wonderfully decorated, firstly the brick is painted black which seems to happen quite a lot in Mayfair, then the modern day lighting is absolutely excellent. 10/10 MB Saturday 21st February 2026 51.4643 -0.1417 |
