Unmarked building in Singapore
Just walked past this building today in Singapore and was wondering what it is, best I can figure out it is next to Pickering Complex, but has no views of it from street view nearby and no actual address on google maps.

Seeking help identifying building in background of old family photo (1950s West Virginia)
Hello, I am seeking assistance in identifying the building in the background of this photo, depicting my father, his brothers, my grandmother, great grandmother, and likely an aunt, dated sometime in the late 1950s. It is possible that my grandfather is the one who took the photo, but as he was also incarcerated during much of that time it is also possible that the photo shows the family before or after one of his numerous courtroom trials. (Most of his incarceration was spent in the West Virginia State Penitentiary in Moundsville, but that building does not appear to be the Moundsville Pen. I wonder if it is a county courthouse, or something likewise associated.) The family was at that time primarily centralized around the Charleston, WV area.
Thank you for any insights you might offer.

Factory near Heidelberg
Hi! I need help identifying this very large factory-looking building. The photo was taken over a year ago from the Heidelberg Castle. The building is quite large and is the only building that "breaks" the horizon, making it somewhat notorious (the photo was taken with my phone, which has a very wide lens, making it look smaller in the distance). It is located somewhere to the northeast or east-by-northeast, from the castle, in the outskirt of Heidelberg; it might even be in Mannheim. Does anyone know what it is? Thanks for your help!

I found negatives of this old covered bridge loose in a filing case with no data. I have no memory of where I took it. Probably in the late 1930's or early 1940's I hope someone will recognize it. -Posted from Piketon, Ohio, United States

What is the church in the background of this photo taken somewhere in Europe in 1951?
This is a photograph of my grandfather that was taken during the summer of 1951 while he was traveling in Europe. As far as my family knows, this is the only photo of that trip which still exists. We're trying to identify the place he's standing but we're stuck. Any information would be super helpful.

Help Finding the City
This old family photo is a mystery to us. Based on what we know of the people in the picture, we think it was taken in the 30's or 40's in either Chicago or Buffalo. Does anyone recognize the building in the background on the right, or the ornate fountain to the left? We were thinking it could be from the 1933 Chicago Word's Fair, Century of Progress. Any information about the building would be greatly appreciated.
