    Nope, fair's fair, J, you're up :)

    By the by, I picked that location after seeing a picture of the Belvédère Hotel on 9gag and thinking to myself, "What an entirely unlikely location for a hotel, must be shopped." More info here...

    It kind of looks like a border crossing. Maybe one of the Nepal-Tibet crossings? Although I’d guess the mountains would need to be bigger.

    I thought exactly the same but if it's that I didn't find it.

    Not too far away either, Nepal being on the left of the yellow line on Google Earth.

    I think I might have confused myself a bit, though know the location like yourself. :)

    Correct Niley.

    It's the main Nepal-Tibet border crossing at Kodari.

    Also if it was Houston, I'd be looking for something more specific with this one.

    Niley, any chance you could narrow it down to one of these subgroups? The federal government apparently own or lease over 360,000 buildings.

    Freemantle Prison.

    Oh and it is closed at moment.

    Stayed in one of the old cottages there some years ago.
    Couldn't sleep properly as kept finding place very eery.

    BTW there is a movie to be made about the escape of 6 Fenian prisoners from there in 1876 that nearly involved an international incident with US.
    Look up the Catalpa whaling ship that sailed all the way from New Bedford, Massachusetts to Western Australia to help spirit away the convicts.
