We once built buildings that were intended to last beyond the institutions that built them. We need more of this.

All 436 persons on the Canadian Pacific ocean liner Marvale are rescued after the ship strikes Cape Freels Rock in Newfoundland's Trepassey Bay and begins to sink. The passengers and crewmembers are quickly evacuated and housed at the village of St. Shotts, Newfoundland.

Among the worst mistakes architects and/or builders (or is it regulators?) make while rehabbing old buildings is to take away a building’s dignity by neglecting the effect of different depths of window planes on a facade. Beautiful buildings turn into flat, unwelcoming 2D blocks.

French Army troops in the Ruhr begin to seize taxes on coal, and to take over the forests in the occupied area to compensate for unpaid Great War reparations. Germany's Reichsbank reacts by closing its Rhineland branches and moving its assets into the unoccupied area.

At 4:45 AM local time, the French and Belgian Armies cross the Rhine River and invade Germany’s Rhineland, first with cavalry and then with motorized vehicles and troops.
They encounter no armed resistance, although about a dozen civilians are killed, and soon occupy Essen.
