1933 - Data Points by Date/Period

Signal Hill Tower (訊號塔), built in the Edwardian style in 1907, stands at the top of Signal Hill. Originally a three-storey building, it was 12.8 meters (42 feet) tall with a red brick facade. In 1927, a fourth storey was added to improve the tower's visibility to incoming vessels, raising its height to 18.9 meters (62 feet). The new storey featured round windows, while the original floors had square windows. The building's flat roof was replaced with a dome-shaped, light green roof. A 5.5-meter (18-foot) mast, which once held the time ball, was positioned atop the tower.The tower housed the Hong Kong Observatory’s time ball apparatus, which had previously been located at the Marine Police Headquarters. The time ball operated from January 1908 to June 1933, dropping once daily until 1920, and twice daily thereafter. The practice ceased on 30 June 1933 due to the building’s deteriorating condition, lack of staff, and the obsolescence of the method in comparison to radio-telegraphy and telephony.During World War II, the tower was repurposed as a temporary ammunition store.In the 1970s, the Urban Council restored the tower, and it was designated a Grade II historic building in 1981. On 18 December 2009, it was upgraded to Grade I status and was declared a monument on 23 October 2015.

The Brijuni golf course, constructed a century ago, underwent significant redesigns, notably in 1933 by renowned architects Tom Simpson and George Thomas. Its reputation attracted elite players and aristocrats, hosting up to 50 tournaments annually. After a hiatus, the course saw reconstruction in 1991 and a full renovation in 2007. With 18 holes spanning 5492 meters, it offers a unique experience amidst natural surroundings, attracting golfers seeking tranquility and eco-friendly play. While maintenance may not be top-grade due to its location in a National Park, players can enjoy the game amidst the island's serene atmosphere and diverse wildlife.

Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport, known in Slovene as Letališče Jožeta Pučnika Ljubljana (IATA: LJU, ICAO: LJLJ), formerly referred to as Brnik Airport (Letališče Brnik), stands as the primary international airport serving Ljubljana and ranks as Slovenia's largest airport. Positioned close to Brnik, it lies 24 km (15 mi) northwest of Ljubljana and 9.5 km (5.9 mi) east of Kranj, nestled at the base of the Kamnik–Savinja Alps. Officially inaugurated in December 1963, the airport replaced Polje Airport in the former Municipality of Polje near Ljubljana, which had served as the city's airport since 1933, marking Slovenia's initial civil airport. Regular flights from the new Brnik airport commenced in January 1964. During the 1980s, Jat Airways offered flights from Chicago to Belgrade, with a nonstop segment from New York City to Ljubljana utilizing McDonnell Douglas DC-10s. However, the flight from Belgrade to Chicago did not include a stop in Ljubljana. The airport faced significant challenges during Slovenia's independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, enduring bombing raids and tragic casualties. Following intense fighting, the airport came under Slovenian control, culminating in the Brioni Agreement. In 2004, the airport celebrated its first annual millionth passenger. Despite this milestone, passenger traffic in 2019 experienced a 5% decrease compared to the previous year, handling 1,721,355 passengers. In 2007, amidst growing air traffic and Slovenia's EU entry, plans were made to expand the passenger terminal to accommodate Schengen and non-Schengen traffic. While the first phase was completed to coincide with Slovenia's entry into the Schengen Area, the second phase was scrapped in 2013. The Slovenian government initiated the privatization process of the airport in 2014, resulting in Fraport acquiring a majority stake. The airport is accessible via the A2 motorway and bus services connecting it with Ljubljana, Kranj, Kamnik, and Klagenfurt in Austria. While plans for a railway line have been presented, their realization remains uncertain. Transport options to and from the airport include bus and shuttle connections to major Slovenian cities, with the Alpe Adria bus line serving Klagenfurt. Additionally, taxi services and shared shuttles are available, albeit not controlled by the airport authority or Fraport Slovenija.

Pumpuri Secondary School, situated at Kronvalda Street 8, has held this location since 1933/1934. The construction of the building was finalized in 1934, boasting three floors with an elegant assembly hall. Over the years, it underwent name changes, culminating in its current title since 1991. The school, previously known by various names, now stands as Pumpuri Secondary School. In 2009, after reconstruction, the historical building reopened. It achieved the 26th rank among Latvian secondary schools in the 2008/09 academic year. Notably, in 2010, Irēna Kausiniece, the school's director, received the prestigious state honor, 'Order of Three Stars.' Following renovations, the school had a grand reopening on September 1, 2012. In August 2019, after an extended tenure, Irēna Kausiniece stepped down as the director, passing the leadership to Ausma Bruņeniece.

The compound comprising the Evangelical church and adjacent structures was erected between 1907 and 1910, designed in the neo-Gothic style by Ernö Gerey. Crafted from brick, the church boasts three frontal towers, with the central tower soaring as a lofty bell tower. Adorning the main entrance, a window rosette repeats in the altar section, showcasing an image of Martin Luther. Inside, a ribbed ceiling is supported by pillars, sustaining side balconies and an organ gallery above the entrance. Samu Shöck from Murska Sobota executed the interior paintings in 1933 as envisioned by the architect, while the altar's Descent from the Cross was painted by Jenö Bory of Budapest. Positioned amidst two single-story edifices, accentuated corners and triangular roof facades define these structures, serving as the presbytery and choirmaster's residence, featuring window niches and turrets.

Smithers Airport (IATA: YYD, ICAO: CYYD) is located 2 nautical miles (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) north of Smithers, British Columbia, Canada. The airport's aviation history dates back to 1928 when a Yukon Airways and Exploration plane landed at Sproule's Ranch, marking the first airplane arrival in the area. In 1929, the Board of Trade purchased the Ed Hill Ranch and developed it into the Smithers Aviation Park, featuring a 1,200-foot (370 m) runway. The Department of National Defence provided financial assistance, and by 1933, the project was completed. However, due to size limitations, the airport was relocated to its current location in 1942. Initially designated as RCAF & D of T Aerodrome - Smithers, British Columbia, the airport was later transferred to civilian use after the war. The runway was extended to 5,000 ft (1,524 m) in 1955, and a new terminal was opened in 1970. Ownership of the airport was transferred to the town by the Department of Transport in 1999. Subsequent expansions included a runway extension to 7,544 ft (2,299 m) in 2008 to accommodate larger aircraft, such as the Boeing 737. In 2018, the airport began a four-phase terminal expansion project, with phase one increasing energy efficiency and providing a 150-passenger lounge. Future phases are planned to further increase building space. As of 2020, the runway data indicates a runway name of 15/33, a length of 7,544 feet (2,299 m), a width of 150 feet (46 m), and a hard-surfaced surface.

On September 1, 1938, Metropolitan Dositej initiated the construction of the Church in Sušak, based on architect Momir Korunović's 1933 design, to cater to the needs of Orthodox believers in the area. The construction was swiftly completed in 395 days, by September 1939, and the church was consecrated by Patriarch Dr. Gavrilo Dožić on October 1, 1939. The church's architecture follows the Serbian-Byzantine style, incorporating modern facade materials and reinforced concrete.

The house was owned by the Plovdiv merchant Georgi Mavridi. It was built in 1829-1830 by an unknown builder and is a representative of the Plovdiv symmetrical house. It has irregular outlines of the foundations due to the displacement of the terrain and the classical symmetry of the floors, enriched with numerous bay-windows, which give the building lightness and spaciousness. The parlors and the rooms on the two floors have wood-carved ceilings and are decorated with ornaments or landscape niches called 'alafranga' (meaning in a French manner). The most significant event in the history of the 19th century building is the visit of the French diplomat and future minister, Alphonse de Lamartine. On August 2nd ,1833, he visited Georgi Mavridi's home and on August 6th continued his travels to Sofia. The 90th anniversary of the visit of the great Frenchman was solemnly celebrated on May 6th, 1923. In the presence of the French Plenipotentiary Minister Georges Picot, the Minister of Education Stoyan Omarchevski, officials, alumni and many citizens, a memorial plate dedicated to the event was consecrated. Thus, along with the plate in memory of the famous Frenchman, the house of Georgi Mavridi was called the Lamartine House. The credit is to Gaston Sergerar, author of books on Bulgarian history, published in Paris, who for many years collected information about Lamartine, his trip through the Balkans and his stay in Plovdiv. This building is not the only one in which Lamartine has stayed on Bulgarian land. But it is the only one who has survived through fires, earthquakes and misunderstood modernization, in order to keep the memory of Lamartine, the first French diplomat, who officially declared that the Bulgarians were completely ready and worthy of their freedom. In the newer history of the house, the visits of Rene Fouquet, Mayor of Paris and Edouard Herriot, twice the Prime Minister of France (both visits were in 1933, when 100 years of Lamartin's visit in Plovdiv were celebrated) should also be mentioned. In 1989 the house was visited by the French President François Mitterrand. In 1960 a museum exhibition for Larmartine was opened in the house. For many years the house has been used as a creative home of the Union of Bulgarian Writers. The building was renovated in 1929, 1947 and 1953, fortified in 1955 and additionally restored in 1971 to 1975.

The statue of the Nationalist fighter in Korça is the statue that was built for the Korça patriots who organized and participated in the liberation of the country from the Ottoman invaders from 1906 to 1912. The prominent Albanian sculptor, Odhise Paskali, immortalized their work with a monument dedicated to the National Warrior descending from the mountain in 1933. The monument is located in the center of the city and is known as the 'National Warrior Statue'.
