You can compare this view of Court House at Kilkenny with its companion photo taken approximately 82 years earlier as part of the Lawrence Photographic Project 1990/1991, where one thousand photographs from the Lawrence Collection in the National Library of Ireland were replicated a hundred years later by a team of volunteer photographers, thereby creating a record of the changing face of the selected locations all over Ireland.

The Library of Congress website offers a multitude of historical images, many with no known restrictions on use. This image is derived from an 1864 stereograph titled Finishing railroad iron, Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 14th 1864 . Atlanta was destroyed during Sherman's March to the Sea, with only the hospitals and churches being spared after a last-minute plea. The Atlanta campaign was integral to the 1939 film Gone With The Wind

Hat Tip
Fred Hall notes the common name for this procedure was making Sherman's neckties.

Details and History
The Library of Congress website offers a multitude of historical images, many with no known restrictions on use. This image is derived from the 1860-1863 stereograph, possibly by Edwin Emerson, depicting Troy N.Y., C.F.H. (Charles F. Himes) and Prof. O.N. Rood, Warren's house in background, looking n.

Both were members of the Amateur Photographic Exchange club, which functioned from 1860-1863 when its secretary was called to war. Many of the earliest surviving stereographs in the LOC collection were generated via this exchange. As noted in a brief history (Image 1952, vol1, issue2, page4) one of their correspondents was Oliver Wendell Holmes. He invented the Holmes stereoscope and gave the design away. The instrument proved so popular it drove most rivals out of the market.

NY - Hyde Park: Franklin D Roosevelt House - Stables

A few nice photo sites images I found:

NY - Hyde Park: Franklin D Roosevelt House - Stables

Image by wallyg
The Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site in Hyde Park, New York preserves the Springwood estate--the birthplace, life-long home, and burial place of the 32nd President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

The Springwood estate was originally William Creed's part of the of the Great Nine Partners Patent. The central portion of the main house is formed by a large farmhouse, constructed around 1800 in the Federal Style. Josiah Wheeler, who purchased the estate in 1845, remodeled in Italianate Style with a 3-storey tower at the south end, and front and rear piazzas. In 1866, James Roosevelt, FDR's father, bought the 2.5 km2 estate, including a stable and horsetrack, for k and over the next 34 years, enlarged the servants' wing, added two rooms, and built a carriage house.

Roosevelt was born in what was then the master bedroom on second floor tower at the south end of the house, nearby his childhood bedroom. After marrying Eleanor Roosevelt in 1905, the young couple moved in with his mother, Sarah. In 1915, they hired the Hoppin and Koen to remodel the home, doubling it in size with two large fieldstone wings (designed by FDR), a tower, and a third storey with a flat roof. Restyled in Colonial Revival, the clapboard exterior was replaced with stucco and most of the porch was replaced with a fieldstone terrace with a balustrade and a small columned portico

The estate remained the center of Roosevelt's life and career, functioning as both a retreat and a "Summer White House". Springwood hosted prominent national and international figures, such as King George VI and Queen Elizabeth on the first visit of a reigning British monarch to the United States, and its porch was the setting of all of FDR's acceptance speeches. Roosevelt made made his last visit to Springwood in the last week of March 1945, about two weeks before his death. At his own wish, he was buried near the sundial in the Rose Garden on April 15, 1945. Eleantor was buried at his side after her death in 1962.

The Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site also includes the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library--the first of the United States' presidential libraries.

Fukushima Daiichi: Two Years On

A general view of the Fukushima Daiichi site. The light blue building in the centre is Unit 2. Behind it is Unit 1, which has been covered by a new, off-white structure with a peaked roof. The tangled mass of metal and rubble is Unit 3. The top of Unit 4, whose damaged upper levels have been removed, is visible towards the right of the picture. In the distance, to the far left, stand the undamaged Units 5 and 6, which were built on higher ground and escaped the worst of the tsunami. Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. 18 December 2012
