    Has a hole on the top, so part of lamp, clock or similar?
    Anyone recognizes the building?
    Thanks

    Doesn't look like a building so much as a mausoleum! :eek:

    It depicts the base of a monument. (Note the steps to entrance door.) Top has gone walkabout.

    I agree with Bakersgma.

    What's the hole look like?
    A hole in the bottom?
    How big is it?
    Anything inside that looks like a coffin? :mask:

    Appears to have a small plaque up over the door with writing of some kind. I tried enlarging to see it better with no luck.

    That's the best so far on the plaque.

    Kard, is their any hint at all what might have been on top, besides lamp/clock. That's what I was going to use as further hints, ergo my request for size and pic of the top.
    Pic of the bottom does not show an output for an electrical cord. But maybe just off on the side? That also shows evidence of a support for the top whatever at the inside peak.Bottom of a rod?

    I know you're asking for an ID on the building, but the "engraving" over the door appears to be just indents, not letters.

    The sides feature images of cannons, war drums, rifles, armor etc so I guess the top must have been war/battle related, maybe a horseman.
