seeking distraction from today's real tasks in -- I have noticed that a church of the 1840s in Streatham Hill, South London (one I looked at for years from a cheap rented room), is twinned with the British Legation (Embassy) in Tehran. Both by J.W. Wild, who must have been fond of square pyramidal forms. Anglo-Persian oil policy was formed here? As an ambitious mid-C19 architect Wild followed his own lines -- infl. by contemp German architecture , exhibition sheds, etc.

C19 brick church, in stark sunlight, by a major ring road empty of traffic. prominent campanile (modeled on one in Venice) with pyramidal top, and near-matching gate piers
Garden of British Embassy, Tehran, a stone lined rectangular pool, steps up to a terrace, arch leading inside, another terrace/roof garden, balustrades, pale yellow stone -- round arches round windows -- glimpse of a tower with square pyramidal form on top , trees in leaf including weeping willow
