<p>Friend Park is a heritage-listed park at Friend Street, Barney Point, Gladstone Region, Queensland, Australia. It was built from 1854 to 1856. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 3 December 2003.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Friend Park is the site of the former Port Curtis Government Residence and Domain, established in 1854-56. The former residence was constructed for, and occupied by, Captain Maurice Charles O&#39;Connell, who in 1854 was appointed Government Resident, Police Magistrate, and Commissioner of Crown Lands for the Port Curtis and Leichhardt districts of New South Wales (the separation of Queensland did not occur until 1859). The Domain was laid out in mid-1854, and a stone residence was completed by the end of 1856.</p><br>
<p>The township of Gladstone was established by the New South Wales Government in 1853-54. Historian Lorna McDonald suggests that this was possibly an attempt to create a more centralised alternative to Brisbane as the capital of a potential northern colony, because unlike most Queensland ports, Gladstone was established prior to the expansion of pastoral settlement in the hinterland. In April 1853 the Governor of New South Wales, Sir Charles Augustus Fitzroy, announced the intention of establishing a township at Port Curtis, and in May that year surveyor Francis MacCabe was instructed to undertake a survey for the town of Gladstone.</p><br>
<p>In naming the town Gladstone, Fitzroy commemorated British Colonial Secretary William Ewart Gladstone, who in 1846 had attempted to establish a northern colony in the Antipodes. On 17 February 1846 Queen Victoria signed Letters Patent establishing the Colony of North Australia, and the British Parliament passed an Act to define its boundaries, which included all lands and coastal islands north of latitude 26° south and extending from the east coast to the present-day Western Australia border. The new colony therefore included all of the present-day Northern Territory and most of what later became Queensland, but with the exception of the Moreton Bay, Darling Downs, and Maranoa districts. On 21 February 1846 Queen Victoria appointed Fitzroy as governor and commander in chief of the colony of North Australia, and on 25 May 1846 appointed Lieutenant-Colonel George Barney as Lieutenant-Governor and Superintendent of North Australia, to administer the new colony on Fitzroy&#39;s behalf.</p><br>
<p>Gladstones objective in establishing the colony of North Australia was to provide a place of exile for expirees and reformed convicts from both Australian and British gaols. This in effect meant a resumption of transportation to eastern Australia, and was bitterly opposed in New South Wales. In late 1846 Gladstone was replaced as Colonial Secretary by Earl Grey, who reversed his predecessors colonial policies. On 28 November 1846 Queen Victoria revoked the colony of North Australia, but word did not reach New South Wales before an attempt was made early in 1847 to establish a settlement at Port Curtis.</p><br>
<p>Colonel Barney and his family had arrived in Sydney in September 1846. Despite finding considerable colonial opposition to the resumption of convict transportation, Barney carried out his instructions and in November 1846 explored the North Australia coast and selected Port Curtis as a settlement site. Barney and the first contingent of 87 officials and settlers left Sydney on the barque Lord Auckland on 30 December 1846 and arrived at Port Curtis on 25 January 1847, during the height of the wet season. Their ship ran aground and the passengers were embarked at Facing Island, where they waited in tents for 7 weeks, surviving principally on dried meat and biscuits, before a relief ship, the barque Thomas Lowry, arrived on 14 March 1847. The wet season hindered the establishment of a settlement on the mainland, and there was discontent within the isolated community. The relief ship also brought news that the colony was likely to be abandoned. This was confirmed officially with the arrival of another ship on 14 April 1847. The settlement was disbanded between April and July 1847, during which time Colonel Barney took the opportunity to explore the Gladstone district, which he considered had great potential as the site of future settlement. Port Curtis he considered one of the finest natural harbours in the Australian colonies. Barney Point and Barney Point Beach are named in his honour.</p><br>
<p>The second attempt at non-indigenous settlement at Port Curtis, made six years later in 1853, was more successful. By 23 October 1853 Francis MacCabe had completed his Design for the Town of Gladstone, Port Curtis. Like Colonel Barney in 1847, he identified the area between Auckland Inlet and South Trees Inlet as the most suitable site for a settlement. The principal township was laid out near Auckland Inlet, but MacCabe set aside a substantial area from Barney Point to south of what is now Friend Park, as a reserve for Public Quay, Custom House and Public Offices; and a large reserve for Government House, Domain and Gardens further to the southeast, adjacent to Waapentake Creek. A large sand flat separated the proposed domain from the sea. MacCabe&#39;s plan was laid before the New South Wales Executive Council on 6 December 1853 and the Town of Gladstone was proclaimed on 21 December 1853.</p><br>
<p>On 1 January 1854 Captain Maurice Charles O&#39;Connell, grandson of former New South Wales Governor Sir William Bligh, was appointed as Government Resident, Police Magistrate and Commissioner for Crown Lands for the Port Curtis and Leichhardt districts. These pastoral districts were proclaimed on 10 January 1854, with Port Curtis declared a settled district although only two stations had been established here by 1854.</p><br>
<p>The first sale of town lots at Gladstone was held in Sydney on 9 February 1854, and by the time OConnell arrived at Port Curtis at the end of March 1854, the first slab buildings had been erected near Auckland Inlet. OConnell and his family and other officials set up residence in tents at Barney Point Beach, in the area proposed as public reserve and out of the way of commercial development closer to Auckland Inlet. Here a small residential precinct soon developed. The O&#39;Connells lived aboard ship for a month while a temporary government residence was being erected: a large marquee with a timber floor. It is understood that this marquee was erected on the low promontory at the southern end of Barney Point Beach, in the area now known as Friend Park.</p><br>
<p>On 16 April 1854 Governor Fitzroy arrived at Gladstone to inspect the fledgling settlement, and the following day officially installed O&#39;Connell as Government Resident. Whether this ceremony occurred near the temporary government residence, in what is now Friend Park, is not clear. During the 1954 celebrations of the centenary of the establishment of Gladstone, the Gladstone community re-enacted the arrival of Fitzroy on Barney Point Beach and the installation ceremony, which was conducted in Friend Park before an audience of 6500 people. To commemorate the event, a cairn was unveiled in Friend Park.</p><br>
<p>By early July 1854 OConnell had decided that the promontory at the southern end of Barney Point Beach, which had been intended as a temporary camp only, would be a more appropriate site for the government residence and domain than the site near Waapentake Creek selected by surveyor MacCabe. OConnell&#39;s domain was laid out with gardens and fencing, but work on construction of a permanent residence in stone did not commence until 1855, and was not completed until late 1856.</p><br>
<p>Amongst OConnells regular reports to Sydney was an account of the accidental death on 16 September 1854 of 22 year old Thomas Milles Stratford Riddell, eldest son of the acting NSW colonial secretary. Riddell had been among the first purchasers of Gladstone land at the February 1854 sale in Sydney, and is thought to have accompanied O&#39;Connell to Gladstone in March 1854. He had been assisting in carting water to the township in September when he was thrown under the wheels of the dray and killed instantly. He was buried in the government domain (now Friend Park), and by the early 1900s his grave was marked by a stone sarcophagus. Another early burial in the domain was that of Lieutenant Le Strange. This grave was known in 1954, when a wreath was laid on it during the centenary celebrations, but is no longer evident.</p><br>
<p>At the first census of Gladstone conducted by O&#39;Connell in May 1854, the small community comprised 127 non-indigenous residents. A young visitor to the place in March 1855, Richard Mitchell, claimed the township was known locally as Auckland Point and consisted of two commercial stores and a courthouse near Auckland Inlet, while everyone except the storekeepers lived at Barney Point – likely either on or adjacent to the area set aside (but not yet proclaimed) for a public reserve.</p><br>
<p>OConnell, autocratic by nature and fiery of temperament, was not well liked in the small Gladstone community. Although his correspondence reveals that he had great hopes for the future of Gladstone and Port Curtis, his critics accused him of inaction, and in late 1855 he faced a Select Committee Inquiry into the conduct of the Government Residency at Port Curtis. As a result, the status of Port Curtis was reduced from that of a government residency with its own revenue and government administration, to that of a pastoral district. OConnell filed his last report as Port Curtis Resident on 26 April 1856, but remained at Gladstone as Lands Commissioner, still occupying the temporary tent house erected for him in April 1854. In late 1856 he moved into the stone dwelling completed in the government domain.</p><br>
<p>OConnell was reinstated as Government Resident in September 1858 to handle the rapid influx of population into the Port Curtis District following the discovery of gold at Canoona. A rush from August 1858 briefly revived the fortunes of the district, but OConnell&#39;s hopes that Port Curtis and Gladstone would now develop their potential were crushed when it became clear that most prospectors were accessing the Canoona goldfield via Rockhampton. In June 1859 the non-indigenous population of Gladstone was 203, which represented an 8-person increase since 1856, while that of Rockhampton stood at 250.</p><br>
<p>In June 1859 Queen Victoria signed Letters Patent separating the colony of Queensland north of the 29th parallel of latitude, and following the arrival of Governor Bowen and the proclamation of the new colony on 10 December 1859, the Port Curtis Residency became redundant. O&#39;Connell was informed in February 1860, following which he moved to Brisbane where he served as President of the Queensland Legislative Council from 27 August 1860 to 23 March 1879. He still held an interest in the Port Curtis District, being the pastoral lessee of the Riverston run on the Boyne River.</p><br>
<p>Following the abolition of the Port Curtis Residency, O&#39;Connell petitioned the Queensland Government to be allowed to purchase his former house and grounds at Barney Point, claiming that he had invested a considerable amount of his own money on improvements, but the colonial government refused.</p><br>
<p>A survey plan (G14.1) of the government buildings erected at Barney Point, completed by surveyor Clarendon Stuart by 9 July 1860, indicates that the government residency was located on what is now Friend Park. It was a well-ordered establishment comprising a main house, three out houses, stable, cow yard, a formally laid out garden with pathways, and front fencing. To the northwest of the government residence, outside what is now Friend Park, an old brick shed was identified, and further to the northwest, overlooking Barney Point Beach, was the house of the Clerk of Petty Sessions. To the southwest was a more extensive garden and stock yard, which appear to have been associated with the government residence. No graves were identified on the plan.</p><br>
<p>On 11 July 1862 Surveyor Permien completed a survey of sections 55 to 86 of the Town of Gladstone (survey plan G14.7). The area of the government residency and domain was surveyed as section 65 of the Town of Gladstone (later Friend Park), and on this the improvements comprised a stone house, another stone dwelling, stables, garden and fencing. These correspond closely to the improvements indicated on surveyor Stuart&#39;s 1860 survey plan. Again, no graves were identified on the plan.</p><br>
<p>Whether anyone occupied the former government residence after OConnells departure has not been established. On 28 December 1864 section 65 was purchased from the Crown for £412/10/-, in the name of Alfred Henry Brown of Gladstone. This AH Brown was the six-year-old son of Henry Hort Brown, not to be confused with the Alfred Henry Brown of Gin Gin Station in the Port Curtis Pastoral District. HH Brown was resident in the Port Curtis District by July 1858, when his son Alfred Henry was born, and was among a small party of Gladstone citizens who had prospected for gold at Canoona in mid-1858 and who were largely responsible for the rush of late 1858.</p><br>
<p>It has not been established whether the Brown family ever lived in the former government residence. The family was resident in the Richmond district of New South Wales during most of the 1860s, where children were born in 1860, 1862, 1863, 1865, and 1867. They had returned to Queensland by December 1867 and were still in this colony in November 1870, but may not have been resident in Gladstone. Thereafter no further record of this family in Queensland has been located. Henry Hort Brown died in the Helensburgh district of New South Wales in 1904. Following his death, the site of the former Port Curtis Government Residency was transferred to his widow, Theresa Brown.</p><br>
<p>By the 1920s some members of the Gladstone community were keen to see the site conserved. In 1927 the Gladstone Chamber of Commerce urged the Gladstone Town Council to preserve "historic spots" such as the graves at Barney Point(that is, those located in the former government domain at the southern end of Barney Point Beach). Following the death of Theresa Brown in December 1927, the site was acquired in 1929 from her family (who were resident in Sydney) by Gladstone businessmen and former alderman Henry Friend junior. Friend had purchased the property with the express intention of presenting it to the Gladstone Town Council, which he did in November 1929. As a site of strong historical significance to the Gladstone community, the land was to be held by the Council in perpetuity for the people of Gladstone. To honour the generous gift, the site was named Friend Park.</p><br>
<p>In 1935 George Simmons, curator of the Rockhampton Botanical Gardens, provided sketch plans for Gladstone&#39;s three parks: Friend Park, Victoria Park and Central Park, and Rockhampton City Council gifted trees to Gladstone to assist in the park improvements.</p><br>
<p>During 1954 the highlight of the centenary celebrations was the unveiling by Gladstones oldest inhabitant, Mrs Fanny Golding, of the cairn in Friend Park commemorating the installation of Captain Maurice OConnell as Government Resident on 17 April 1854.</p><br>
<p>In the mid-1950s Gladstones Junior Chamber of Commerce (established in 1954) made the creation of a childrens playground in Friend Park its principal project. In December 1958 the Gladstone Jaycees handed over the completed playground to the Council.</p><br>
<p>The place remains one of Gladstone&#39;s principal parks, and a popular picnic area. In the late 20th century a decision was made by the Gladstone City Council to remove the stone foundations and remnants of the 1856 government residence.</p><br>
<p>On Sunday 22 June 2003 a memorial cairn to Francis MacCabe was unveiled in Friend Park by the Mayor of Gladstone Peter Corones.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Friend Park is a 1.72 hectare site located on a low promontory or headland at the southern end of Barney Point Beach and Barney Point Park. The promontory juts into Port Curtis on its northern and eastern sides, with views across Port Curtis, and a rocky foreshore extends around the promontory from Barney Point Beach. On the west the site is bounded by Sutton Street and on the south by Friend Street.</p><br>
<p>The site slopes (gently in some sections, more steeply in others) down to the foreshore, the slope being rocky and covered with agave spp and indigenous small trees and grasses.</p><br>
<p>The foreshore is composed of principally alluvial muds from the Calliope River and various creek systems entering Port Curtis, deposited over Carboniferous sandstones and mudstones of the Wondilla Group.</p><br>
<p>At the northern end of Friend Park a low dry-stone retaining wall separates a gentle sloping bank from the foreshore and Barney Point Park. The slope here is grassed and almost terraced, and a "stair" of stones set into the ground at intervals enables easy access to the parkland above.</p><br>
<p>Above the slope the park comprises an open lawn with specimen trees, including a lone Norfolk Island Pine (Araucaria heterophylla), Ficus sp., palms, and Eucalyptus sp., several memorials, a timber dais, and children&#39;s play equipment.</p><br>
<p>Close to the apex of the site is the 1954 cairn. This is a four-sided, tapering structure with a flat top, constructed of what appears to be water-polished stone. It rests on a substantial concrete base about 800mm high, and has a bitumened plinth and a low concrete-post-and- single-steel-rail surround. On the northern face of the cairn is a marble plaque with the lettering:On this spot the first official residence in North Australia was erected, and Captain Maurice Charles OConnell was installed first Government Resident, Police Magistrate and Commission of Crown Lands, on 17th April 1854 by Sir Charles Fitzroy Governor of New South Wales. Unveiled Centenary Celebrations 17th April 1954.In the mid-north section of the park is a low-set timber dais resting on timber stumps, with timber railing to three sides and a timber ramp to enable easy access. Just west of this is the grave of Thomas Riddell. This has a stone sarcophagus with two inscriptions, and an iron grave surround (not original) with concrete corner posts. The inscriptions on the sarcophagus read:Underneath this stone are deposited the remains of THOMAS MILLES STRATFORD RIDDELL eldest son of the Acting Colonial Secretary and Mrs Riddell. and He was born at Sydney on 22 January 1832 and died at Port Curtis on the 16 September 1854 aged 22 years.Further west still is a steel flagstaff associated with the creation of the 1958 childrens play area in Friend Park. This has a tapered concrete base, with a metal plaque on the western face which bears the following inscription:</p><br>
<p>This play area was planned and equipped by the Gladstone Junior Chamber of Commerce and presented to the citizens of Gladstone on 6 December 1958.</p><br>
<p>While there are no above-ground relics associated with the use of the site as the Port Curtis Government Residence and Domain, there are likely to be sub-surface deposits of archaeological interest.</p><br>
<h2>Heritage listing</h2><br>
<p>Friend Park and Graves was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register on 3 December 2003 having satisfied the following criteria.</p><br>
<p>The place is important in demonstrating the evolution or pattern of Queensland&#39;s history.</p><br>
<p>Friend Park is one of the most significant historical sites in the Gladstone district, being closely associated with the establishment of Gladstone township in 1853-54. It is also a significant place in Queensland&#39;s history, being the site of the former Government Residence and Domain of the Port Curtis Residency, associated with the early development of Port Curtis as the potential hub of a possible northern colony separate from New South Wales.</p><br>
<p>The place has potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of Queensland&#39;s history.</p><br>
<p>Although little above-ground evidence remains of the former use of the site as the Port Curtis Government Residence and Domain, the place is significant for its potential to reveal archaeological information which may assist in our understanding of Queensland&#39;s history. This includes evidence of structures and graves on the site, as well as artefacts associated with daily life in the government domain of a remote, mid-19th century British colonial settlement.</p><br>
<p>The place is important because of its aesthetic significance.</p><br>
<p>The place is significant for the retention of historical views to and from the headland. In particular the view from the headland across Port Curtis varies little from that which Government Resident Captain Maurice O&#39;Connell found in 1854, when he decided to establish the Government Residence and Domain on this promontory.</p><br>
<p>The place has a strong or special association with a particular community or cultural group for social, cultural or spiritual reasons.</p><br>
<p>The site has long been valued by the local community for its association with the early history of Gladstone. This is demonstrated in the purchase of the site and donation to the Gladstone Town Council in 1929 by Henry Friend jnr; the erection of a cairn in the park in 1954 to celebrate the centenary of the founding of Gladstone; and Gladstone City Council&#39;s nomination of the early graves to the Queensland Heritage Register in the 1990s.</p><br>
<p>Santillana reservoir, also known as Manzanares el Real reservoir , is a body of water along the Manzanares river located in the municipalities of Manzanares el Real and Soto del Real, in the Community of Madrid, in the centre of Spain. It has a maximum surface of 1052 ha, the longest distance between opposites shores reaches 30 km, and the total volume of the reservoir is 91 hm³. The first dam was built in 1907, but in 1969 a new and higher dam was built. This new construction was 5 m higher, which allowed the reservoir to have a volume twice as large as before.</p><br>
<p>The second and present dam, built in a period of 12 months, began its service in 1971. Its foundations are located at an altitude of 856.5 m and the highest point of the dam is at 896.5 m, with a total length of 1,355 m.</p><br>
<p>Belonging to the Canal de Isabel II public company, it regulates the flow of the Manzanares river and an important part of the water supply to the city of Madrid and its surroundings. Smaller rivers Samburiel and Arroyo del Mediano also flow into the reservoir, which is part of the natural protected area called Parque Regional de la Cuenca Alta del Manzanares. It is also part of the Site of Community Importance (SCI) Manzanares basin, with code ES3110004.</p><br>
<p>Chivinar is a 5,125 m high Late Miocene volcano in Northwest Argentina. The volcano is noted for having erupted rhyolites containing topaz in its early stage of evolution, the only known occurrence of such in South America. This topaz did form during the crystallization of the magma in a fluorine-rich phase thereof at low temperatures and pressures. The topazes reach sizes of 8 cm. The topaz bearing rocks cover a surface area of 8 x that is interrupted by a lava flow. Much older granitoid bodies also lie in the area and are 502-425 million years old.</p><br>
<p>The volcano has been constructed in three main phases. First, a set of rhyolite lava domes and plugs was erupted and formed a platform beneath the edifice without evidence of explosive activity or caldera formation. This unit appears on the northern and western flanks of the volcano between 3,500 - and form about one third of the total volume, with the domes ranging 0.3 - in width and 250 m in height. They are heavily hydrothermally altered and deformed. A gap during which tectonic and climatic degradation of the earlier domes occurred separates this stage from the next. Subsequently, destruction of domes during eruptions generated a unit consisting of coarse dacite in pumice and breccia form spreading out from the centre. On top of this unit, an andesitic cone formed, dated at 9 mya. Some aphyric phenobasalts cover surfaces of the second unit.</p><br>
<p>The early phase rhyolites contain alkali feldspar (49±2% volume), plagioclase containing sodium (14±3% volume) and quartz (36±2% volume). A number of gas rich inclusions and accessory minerals are also present, including topaz, xenotime and zircon. Hydrothermally altered rhyolites contain rutile and secondary silicates in veins. All products are porphyritic, including the late andesites which contain phenocrysts of hornblende and plagioclase with smaller amounts of biotite, clinopyroxene, iron oxides and orthopyroxene. Based on crystal analysis, the rhyolites were stored at pressures of 300 - and temperatures of 720 -.</p><br>
<p>The volcano is situated at the point where the main volcanic arc intersects the Calama–Olacapato–El Toro lineament, a fault zone that has formed over fifteen million years a number of volcanic structures including lava domes, stratovolcanoes and monogenetic scoria cones. This fault system has imparted the Chivinar centre an extensional characteristic. The Chivinar centre itself formed over a Eocene-Miocene basement containing evaporites and sediments.</p><br>
<p>First Presbyterian Church of Le Roy is a historic Presbyterian church located at Le Roy, Genesee County, New York. The church was built about 1825-1826, in the traditional meeting house style and consisted of a gable-roofed main block with a bell tower and an engaged center pavilion. It was later renovated in the Italianate style in 1866. Additions were made to the original building in 1898-1899, 1913, and 1951 and, between about 1929 and 1951, the current Roman Doric portico was added. The 1913 Sunday School addition designed by Claude Bragdon, the portico, and the 1951 Elizabeth Allen Olmsted Memorial Hall are in the Colonial Revival style. Also on the property is the contributing former manse; a two-story Queen Anne-style brick building built about 1880.</p><br>

<p>Geneva Downtown Commercial Historic District is a national historic district located at Geneva, Ontario County, New York. It encompasses 83 contributing buildings in the central business district of Geneva. They were built between about 1840 and 1940, and include notable examples of Greek Revival, Italianate, Romanesque Revival, Colonial Revival, and Art Deco style commercial architecture. Located in the district are the separately listed Farmers and Merchants Bank, Smith&#39;s Opera House, and United States Post Office. Other notable buildings include the Prouty Block , YMCA , Wheat Building , Guard Building , Geneva City Hall , Odd Fellows Building , and Kresge Building .</p><br>

<p>Glenmore is a historic house in Jefferson City, Tennessee, USA.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The three-story house was built in 1868-1869 for John Roper Branner, the President of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railway. From 1868 to 1879, it was the location of the Branner Institute for Young Women, run by his brother.</p><br>
<p>The house was acquired by Milton Preston Jarnagin in 1882. It was Jarnagin who named it Glenmore. When he died, the house was inherited by his son, Frank Watkins Jarnagin, who raised Percheron horses on the property.</p><br>
<p>It was deeded to the Preservation of Tennessee Antiquities in 1969-1970.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural significance</h2><br>
<p>The house was designed in the Second Empire architectural style. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since April 13, 1973.</p><br>
<p>The Simerly-Butler House, also known as, the Butler Mansion, is a historic mansion in Hampton, Tennessee, USA.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The mansion was completed in 1867. It was built for Elijah Simerly (1820-1891), the founder of the town of Hampton (named after his wife&#39;s maiden name) and the President of the East Tennessee and Western North Carolina Railroad from 1867 to 1871.</p><br>
<p>The house was acquired by A. H. Robinson in 1907. Three years later, in 1910, it was purchased by Nathaniel Edwin Harris, who served as the 61st Governor of Georgia, and his wife, Hattie Jobe Harris.</p><br>
<p>By 1936, it was acquired by Ralph U. Butler, who operated manganese mines in Cedar Hill, Tennessee and Shady Valley, Tennessee used to make steel for World War II.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural significance</h2><br>
<p>The house was designed in the Italianate architectural style. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 7, 1996.</p><br>
<p>Sinanitsa  is a marble peak in the northern part of the Pirin Mountains of southwestern Bulgaria. 2,516 m high, Sinanitsa gives its name to the Sinanitsa Lateral Ridge, one of the four best pronounced lateral ridges in Pirin. Sinanitsa is also known as Chukata , Varovita Chuka  or The Split Peak , the latter because of its unmistakable south face.</p><br>
<p>Though it gives its name to the entire ridge due to its characteristic shape, the "enchantingly beautiful" Sinanitsa is in fact lower than the ridge&#39;s highest point, Gergiytsa, which measures 2,589 m metres Sinanitsa is commonly regarded as one of the most beautiful peaks in Pirin and Bulgaria. On clear days, the summit is easily visible from the town of Sandanski.</p><br>
<p>The etymology of Sinanitsa&#39;s name is debated. It stems either from the Bulgarian word for "blue" (син, sin), due to the peak appearing in that colour from a distance, or from the Arabic word sinan (سنان). The latter would describe it as a "spearhead" peak, referencing its sharp contours.</p><br>
<p>The Sinanishko Lake lies in the eponymous cirque to the north-northwest of Sinanitsa, at 2,181 m. The Sinanitsa River, a tributary of the Vlahinska River that subsequently flows into the Struma, originates from the lake&#39;s underground waters. The Sinanitsa Gate is a steep and rocky col on the ridge connecting the Sinanitsa cirque with the Spano Pole cirque to the southeast. The Sinanitsa Hut is situated by the shores of the lake, within direct view of the summit. The summit can be reached in approximately an hour from the hut.</p><br>
<p>Sinanitsa&#39;s steep eastern face is a popular destination for alpine climbing. The route follows a vertical wall around 200 m high, with a climbing grade of 4b. It was first scaled by Andrey Todorov and Vasil Nastev on 12 July 1949; the first winter ascent was accomplished on 27 April 1955 by Encho Petkov and Yordan Machirski.</p><br>
<p>The San Lorenzo Valley Museum, formerly known as the Boulder Creek Museum, is a nonprofit educational institution in Boulder Creek, California, managed by the San Lorenzo Valley Historical Society. It is located at 12547 Highway 9. Its aim is to preserve and share the history of the San Lorenzo Valley.</p><br>
<h2>Organisation history</h2><br>
<p>The Boulder Creek Historical Society was founded in March 1976 with the primary museum housed on the second floor of an office building in south Boulder Creek. The museum grew steadily until relocated in 1999 to the former Grace Episcopal Church on the southern edge of Boulder Creek. Alongside the new home, a climate-controlled annex was built beside the church to house the museum&#39;s archive and administrative office. The original garden beside the church has also seen constant expansion and improvement since the museum took control over the property.</p><br>
<p>The Boulder Creek Historical Society officially became the San Lorenzo Valley Historical Society in 2012, reflecting the renaming of the museum to the San Lorenzo Valley Museum upon its relocation in 1999. In addition to annual events held at the museum and on behalf of the museum, the monthly meeting of the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors Fifth District is held inside the museum.</p><br>
<h2>Museum structure</h2><br>
<p>The main museum resides in what was originally the Grace Episcopal Church, built in November 1906 and currently the oldest religious structure in downtown Boulder Creek. The Episcopal Church never attracted a large following in Boulder Creek with most residents instead attending the nearby Presbyterian Church or the Catholic Church and most Episcopalians attending St. Andrew&#39;s Church in Ben Lomond. The Episcopal Church abandoned the structure in 1915. In 1923, the structure was purchased by the Christian Science Society of Boulder Creek and eventually, in 1955, became a full member church as the First Church of Christ Scientist, Boulder Creek. The Boulder Creek Historical Society purchased the ailing structure to use as its main museum in 1995 and they restored it to working condition over the next four years. It finally opened at its new facilities in 1999. The former church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006, the centenary of its construction.</p><br>
<p>Cerro Archibarca is a volcano in the Andes. It covers a surface area of 20 km&sup2;. Lava flows descend from a conical edifice. It was active 11 million years ago. The youngest deposits are eroded andesites on the northern side.</p><br>
<p>A major volcaniclastic unit is associated with Archibarca, named the La Torre formation after the valley where its lower bright red unit reaches a thickness of 20 m. The red unit is formed from unconsolidated pyroclastics with spherical clasts (3 cm up to 10 cm). Granite and pumice are materials also present in this unit. The upper white unit is a thick pyroclastic flow from Archibarca. A 30 m thick rhyolitic flow with banding structures is also present as well as an associated lava dome that intruded the La Torre formation on the volcano&#39;s southern side.</p><br>
<p>Andesites from this volcano are partly derived from crustal assimilation, with the crustal component constituting 40% of total rock. The Caballo Muerto and Archibarca ignimbrites may be derived from this volcano.</p><br>
<p>Moody Farm is a historic farmstead at Lawry Road and Maine State Route 173 in Searsmont, Maine. The farmhouse was built about 1830 by Joseph Moody, one of the first settlers of the area after Maine gained statehood in 1820, and its barn is a mid-19th century double English barn. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Moody Farm is located on 63 acre of land in a rural area of eastern Searsmont, with the farmstead complex located at the junction of Lawry Road and Maine State Route 173. The farmhouse stands in the interior of the V created by the two roads with its barn and other farm outbuildings located across Lawry Road. The farmhouse is a 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with a side gable roof, central chimney, clapboard siding, and stone foundation. It has restrained vernacular Federal period styling, with the centered entrance flanked by sidelight windows and pilasters, and topped by a modest entablature. The building interior follows a center-chimney plan, with a narrow vestibule that has a winding staircase, parlor spaces to either side, with the original kitchen positioned behind the chimney. The modern kitchen and other facilities are located in an ell extending behind the main house. One of the rooms has stencilwork consistent with that of an unidentified 19th-century artist whose work extends across northern New England.</p><br>
<p>Across Lawry Road from the house stands a double barn. The older of the two barns is a traditional English barn, to which a second, mid-19th century barn has been appended. Other outbuildings on the property include a chicken coop and milk shed.</p><br>
<p>Settlement of this area of Maine was delayed in part by legal issues surrounding portions of the Waldo Patent, which it was a part of. This land was acquired by creditors of Henry Knox, who had attempted to reconstruct the holdings of Samuel Waldo, and died financially insolvent. Joseph Moody, who arrived in Searsmont in 1827, purchased this parcel of land in 1829, and probably built this house soon afterward. It is a well-preserved local example of vernacular late Federal architecture.</p><br>
<p>Turkey Hill is a hill in Columbia County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It has an elevation of 942 ft above sea level. The hill has a flat plateau at the top, but steep slopes on its northern, western, and southern sides. The western and southern parts of the hill have some residential development, while the northern side is mostly forested. The views it provides of the surrounding area have been described as "striking" and "breathtaking".</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Turkey Hill has an elevation of 942 ft above sea level. It is mainly situated within Bloomsburg and Scott Township; its highest point is in Scott Township. The hill is entirely within the United States Geological Survey quadrangle of Bloomsburg. It has a topographic prominence of approximately 378 ft. The hill is part of a larger geographic formation known as Montour Ridge, which begins as a moderately sized hill west of Berwick and runs west, eventually becoming a mountain.</p><br>
<p>In Walter M. Brasch&#39;s 1982 book Columbia County Place Names, Turkey Hill is described as being a large hill. However, a number of housing developments and streets have been constructed on the hill, making parts of it difficult to recognize as a hill. The hill is bordered by Fishing Creek on two sides.</p><br>
<p>The Turkey Hill Anticline passes through Turkey Hill in a west-southwest to east-northeast direction, heading towards the Berwick area.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The bedrock geology in the highest elevations of Turkey Hill consists of the Upper Member of the Rose Hill Formation, which dates to the Middle Silurian. This rock formation consists of sandstone, limestone, and shale and ranges in color from a light olive gray to a medium gray. This formation is 130 ft thick. The Center Member of the Rose Hill Formation occurs on a few lower-elevation areas in the vicinity of the hill. It also dates to the Middle Silurian and contains gray-red-purple to dusky red hematitic sandstone that is interbedded with silty clay shale. This formation is 60 ft thick. The Lower Member of the Rose Hill Formation occurs on the westernmost extremity of the hill. The Keefer Formation and the Mifflintown Formation also common on the hill, but at lower elevations than the Lower Member of the Rose Hill Formation. They also date to the Middle Silurian.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Turkey Hill was entered into the Geographic Names Information System on August 2, 1979. Its identifier in the Geographic Names Information System is 1189936. The earliest names by which Turkey Hill was referred to are no longer known. The hill probably received its current name in the late 19th century from a large turkey farm nearby.</p><br>
<p>In the 19th century, a school/geographical district in the northwestern part of Scott Township was named Turkey Hill District after Turkey Hill. In addition to this, several farms, including a flower plantation, were in business on the hill as late as the 1970s. Housing developments have also been present on the southern and western parts of the hill since at least the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>In a 1974 report, the plateau at the top of Turkey Hill was said to be one of the most developable area in Bloomsburg. Views from hillside neighborhoods in the area have been described as "breathtaking". However, a 1974 report noted that the poor layout of streets in the area leads to accessibility and safety problems.</p><br>
<h2>Biology</h2><br>
<p>Turkey Hill possesses some forested slopes; nearly all of the northern side of the hill is forested. Between these forested slopes and Interstate 80 lies an oxbow lake of Fishing Creek, known as the Turkey Hill Oxbow. On the nearby slopes, there is a forest of hemlock and hardwood trees. There are also several skunk cabbage seeps on the slope. Near the oxbow, there are forested wetlands, shrub swamps, graminoid openings, and areas of open water.</p><br>
<p>The Collier–Overby House is a historic house located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>It was built in the 1820s by James Walker. The colonnaded Greek Revival house was bought by Henry W. Collier, who became chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court and in 1949 became the Governor of Alabama, serving two terms. Following the American Civil War the house was occupied by former Confederate General Phillip Dale Roddey. After a number of other transactions the house became the headquarters of the Associated Charities of Tuscaloosa before returning to private ownership.</p><br>
<p>The two-story frame house rests on a brick foundation with a two-story columned portico across the entire front of the house. The facade under the portico is stuccoed, while the other elevations have wood siding. A small balcony with elaborate railing details covers the front door. The house and portico are capped by a hipped roof. As originally built the house was one room deep with a center hall.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 14, 1971.</p><br>
<p>Nelson School is a former school building in Stillwater, Minnesota, United States, built in 1897. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 for having local significance in the themes of architecture and education. It was nominated for its Neoclassical/Georgian Revival architecture by Orff & Guilbert and for its status as the oldest surviving public school building in Stillwater.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Nelson School is a two-story building with a square footprint. It has red brick walls over a raised foundation of limestone blocks. The front façade has three distinct bays set off by pilasters. The central bay is slightly recessed with an oriel window jutting from the second story. The flanking bays bear slabs inscribed with the buildings name and construction date which, like the oriel, are framed with pilasters and topped with a semicircular pediment. The central bay contains the main entrance on the ground floor and a dormer on the roof with a triangular pediment. The buildings side walls have a row of ten windows on both floors, while the rear wall is blank but for an oriel window.</p><br>
<p>The building&#39;s square plan was an economical design allowing for four classrooms on each floor. Moreover, the lack of windows on the front and rear façades intentionally provided three full walls within each classroom for blackboards.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original Nelson School was a one-story wood-frame structure built in 1885. The school was named for Socrates Nelson, who owned the land where it was built. Its student body quickly outgrew the space, so a new facility was constructed on the same site in 1897. The property&#39;s National Register nomination attributes the building to the architectural firm of Orff & Guilbert, but a more recent description credits a different partnership of Fremont D. Orff, Orff & Joralemon. Within two months of opening for classes, a fire broke out in the building and caused $5,000 worth of damage. The entire building had cost $17,000 to construct.</p><br>
<p>In addition to public education, the building provided civic meeting space. Nelson School last hosted classes in the 1950s, when the public school district converted it into administrative offices. The school district moved out completely in 1976. The vacant building, remanded to city ownership, was threatened with demolition but historic preservation efforts culminating in a court ruling that prevented that fate. Local investors purchased it in 1980 and conducted a successful adaptive reuse project to convert Nelson School into a multi-unit residential building.</p><br>
<p>Turkmen Mountain , is a mountain in the north of Latakia region of Syria, in the area called Bayırbucak locally in Turkish, neighboring the Turkish border. The mountain range runs along the eastern length of Latakia Governorate. The area is mostly inhabited by Syrian Turkmen people and has seen military activity by the SAA and Russian air strikes in late 2015. Close to 300,000 Turkmens have been displaced since the start of the Syrian civil war, especially in The Turkmens mountains, where the Government enacted a demographic change by forcing the last remaining Turkmen Families to leave to Turkey, and settled Alawite families in the areas controlled by government forces.</p><br>
<p>Two Turkish F-16s shot down one of two Russian Su-24 fighter jets in Syria on 24 November 2015. Both pilots ejected safely, however one pilot was killed by Turkmen forces.</p><br>

<p>Skipwith Hall, also known as Oakwood Farm, is a historic mansion in Maury County, Tennessee, USA.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The land was granted by George Washington to Nathanael Greene in 1807. However, Greene let his brother-in-law, Captain William Littlefield, settle the land.</p><br>
<p>The mansion was built with timber in 1815-1816. It was the residence of Edward Littlefield and his wife Cornelia. It was home to the first piano in Maury County. When he won Lucius J. Polk&#39;s seat in the Tennessee Senate, Littlefield moved to Nashville and left the mansion to his stepsons, and. They formally inherited it in 1836. By 1849, George passed it on to the Planters Bank through a deed of trust. Shortly after, the bank sold it to Benjamin Harlan.</p><br>
<p>Harlan renamed it Oakwood Farm and turned it into a stock farm, importing stock from Spain and selling it in the South. Meanwhile, Harlan hired architect Nathan Vaught to redesign the mansion. Vaught added "six white pillars and a grand veranda." According to local historian Reid Smith, Harlan added his "own special trademark of hospitality" with "A little Negro slave boy, stationed in the shade of a mighty oak along the pike, stood ever ready with a drink of spring water for each and every passerby."</p><br>
<p>The property was later inherited by Harlan&#39;s descendants, who were still the owners of the mansion in the 1970s.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural significance</h2><br>
<p>It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 23, 1978.</p><br>
<p>Fairmont is a historic mansion in Columbia, Tennessee, USA.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Construction on the two-story mansion began in 1831, and it was completed in 1837. It was built for John Smiser, a lawyer from Hagerstown, Maryland who practised the law in Natchez, Mississippi and served as the sheriff of Williamson County, Tennessee, and his wife, Mary Evie Turtey, a native of Paris, Kentucky.</p><br>
<p>After the Smisers died and were buried on the property in 1840, the mansion was inherited by their daughter Ellen and her husband, James Gray Booker, the son of large planter Peter R. Booker, Sr. (1784-1839). By 1853, Booker&#39;s brother-in-law and his four daughters, who had died of yellow fever in New Orleans, Louisiana, were buried on the property.</p><br>
<p>The mansion was acquired by Lex Watson (1892-1951) in 1931. It was later repurposed as a retirement facility, until it became a private residence once again.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural significance</h2><br>
<p>The mansion was designed by architect Nathan Vaught in the Greek Revival architectural style. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since September 1, 1983.</p><br>
<p>The District No. 5 School House is a historic school building on Billing Road at Schoolhouse Lane in Hermon, Maine. Probably built about 1880, it is the rural community&#39;s best-preserved one-room schoolhouse, and is now maintained by the local historical society. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The District No. 5 School House is located in the village of Hermon, north of United States Route 2 at the western corner of Billings Road and Schoolhouse Lane. It is a single-story wood frame structure, with a front-gable roof and clapboard siding. The gable has applied Stick style woodwork at its peak and ends. The front facade, facing toward Billings Road, has two widely spaced doorways, each topped by a bracketed cornice with a mini-gable. Windows on the side elevations are similarly decorated, where there are paired brackets in the eave. The entrances lead into small vestibules, which provide access to the classroom that occupies most of the rest of the building. The walls are finished in wainscoting below, and plaster above, except for one area that has been reconstructed with wallboard.</p><br>
<p>Local tradition assigns a construction date of 1852 to this building, about the time the town was divided into thirteen school districts. However, architectural evidence suggests a later construction date, c. 1880. It remained in use as a school until 1953, and then sat vacant until the early 1980s, when the local rescue squad adapted it for its use, adding a garage door to the front. This and other alterations were reversed during a restoration of the building in 1988 by the local historical society. The town had six district schools standing when they were closed in 1953; all of the others have been altered or demolished.</p><br>

<p>The Smith Farmhouse is a historic house in Pasquo, Tennessee, USA.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built circa 1815-1825, and was redesigned many times. It was the home of James Hyphen Smith (1788-1845) his wife Lucy Greer (1793-1872), and their eleven children. Smith ran a store in Pasquo. After he opened another store in Brush Creek, Tennessee, the house was lived in by his son Washington George Smith and his ten children. Later, another son, Walter Sparel Smith, lived in the house with his nine children. It was then inherited by his son, Charles Benjamin Smith, who lived there with his five sons, and finally by his grandson, Charles Randall Mungovan. Meanwhile, the Smith family continued to run stores in Pasquo and Bush Creek, as well as Una, Tennessee.</p><br>

<p>Fitch&#39;s General Store and House is a historic former commercial establishment on Long Hill Road in the village of East Sebago, Maine. Built about 1870 as a private residence, it was from 1920 for many years a general store, and a mainstay of local business in the rural community. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. As of 2014, it was apparently again a private residence.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Fitch&#39;s General Store is located at the crook of the V-shaped junction between Long Hill Road and Maine State Route 114 in the rural village of East Sebago. It is a rambling -story complex, built of wood framing sheathed in clapboards and resting on a granite foundation. Both the store and the house have gable roofs, with a two-story ell connecting them. There is modest Greek Revival and Italianate styling, including bracketed lintels on some of the windows, and corner pilasters.</p><br>
<p>The house and store were built about 1870 by George E. Fitch, the store originally a barn. His father had established one of the first stores in the area in 1832, just across the road. That business continued to be operated by George Fitch and his descendants until it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground in 1919. At that time, Montford Fitch converted his father&#39;s barn into a store, and reopened the business there. When the property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995, it was still a going concern; it has since closed.</p><br>
<p>The St. Joseph Hospital Historic District is a former Catholic hospital campus and historic district located in Ottumwa, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Congregation of the Humility of Mary was already established in Ottumwa with a convent and an academy when the Sisters sought to raise $300,000 in the community and open a new hospital. They came up short and were only able to raise $78,000 Undeterred, they continued on with their plans and hired a hospital architect from Milwaukee who had previously designed the Mayo Clinic. The new hospital would be a five-story structure designed in a mid-century institutional style. The bricks for the building were made locally at the Morey Brick and Tile Company. It was completed in 1925 and an addition that included a chapel was built in 1959. Also built in the 1950s was a dormitory building for nurses and a four-story addition to the hospital with a single-story wing for administrative offices.</p><br>
<p>In conjunction with the hospital was the St. Joseph’s School of Nursing that had begun in 1914. It remained in operation into the mid-1970s, and in that time it graduated over 700 students.</p><br>
<p>St. Joseph Hospital at its height employed 350 people and provided 120 acute care beds. Ottumwa Hospital initiated several attempts in the 1970s to merge the two hospitals, but St. Joseph&#39;s resisted their offers. They did, however, agree to joint planning and cooperation. The two hospitals finally merged in 1987. The St. Joseph building served as office space and housed outpatient services until it was closed in 2012. The building was going to be torn down until Blackbird Investments developed a $14 million plan to renovate it into a 70-unit apartment building in late 2014.</p><br>
<p>Sibleys, Lindsay and Curr Building is a historic commercial building located at Rochester in Monroe County, New York. It was designed by noted Rochester architect J. Foster Warner and built for Sibleys in 1904. It is a five-story, Chicago school style skeletal steel building sheathed in brown Roman brick with deeply set Chicago style windows. It features a clock tower with Baroque and Renaissance style details. Additions were made to the building in 1911 and 1924.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1905, after the disastrous 1904 "Sibley fire" gutted the Granite Building and much of Rochesters dry goods district, Sibleys moved to its final location, the Sibley Building at the northeast corner of East Main Street and Clinton Avenue. By 1939, Sibley&#39;s was the largest department store between New York City and Chicago.</p><br>
<p>Sibley&#39;s was acquired by The May Department Stores Company and the Sibley Building location closed in the early 1990s</p><br>
<p>See Sibleys for more information on the history of Sibleys Department Stores.</p><br>

<p>The First Flag Unfurling Site is a historic site along the route of the Lewis and Clark Expedition in Lemhi County, Idaho. The site is located in the Bitterroot Mountains, 5 mi north of the community of Tendoy. According to an entry in Clark&#39;s journal on August 13, 1905, Lewis unfurled an American flag at the site to greet two women whom the party encountered. Local researcher Dave Ainsworth determined that this encounter was the first time an American flag had been unfurled west of the Continental Divide; his findings were confirmed by a National Park Service historian.</p><br>
<p>The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 22, 1975. At the time, the site was marked by a historic sign, though several parties were planning to install a monument.</p><br>
<p>The Shoup Building is a historic commercial building located at the intersection of Center and Main Streets in Salmon, Idaho. The three-story building was constructed in 1886 for merchant George Shoup; Shoup went on to become the first Governor of Idaho. The building was one of the most architecturally exquisite in territorial Idaho, and state and local newspapers praised the structure upon its completion. The brick building&#39;s design features segmental arched windows and a brick cornice with a red and white band of brick below it. Shoup used the first floor of the building for his store; the second floor held the Lemhi County courts, and the third floor served as the local Masonic hall.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 31, 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Salmon City Hall and Library is a historic building located at 200 Main Street in Salmon, Idaho. The building was built by the Works Progress Administration in 1939 to serve as the citys city hall and public library. Architect Frank Hummel of the prominent Idaho architectural firm Tourtellotte & Hummel designed the building in the Art Deco style. The sandstone buildings design features flat pilasters dividing the doors and windows and a geometric cornice with a tiered keystone on the librarys half of the building. The design is the best example of the Art Deco style in Salmon and one of the firms best-regarded works for a government project.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 17, 1982.</p><br>
<p>Floral Hall is a historic building located at the Cedar County Fairgrounds in Tipton, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. It was built in 1899 and replaced a previous Floral Hall that had occupied the same location. The directors of the Tipton Fair Association determined that its construction would cost approximately $1,000. H.L. Dean, the superintendent of construction, held to that figure. However, while the building was being built it was decided to install a hard-pine floor, which added $250 to its cost.</p><br>
<p>Floral Hall is an octagon-shaped structure with a large matching cupola on top. Each side of the building has a width of 30 ft. A large sliding door is located on each of the four main directions. The interior is painted and mostly open with only its supports to break up the space.</p><br>
<p>Hotel Tipton is a historic building located in the central business district of Tipton, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. Muscatine, Iowa architect H.W. Zeidler was employed to design the two-story, L-shaped building in the Italianate style. Construction began in 1894 and it was completed the following year. The first floor contained the hotel&#39;s lobby, office, sample room, dining room, kitchen, pantries, and four retail units. The stable rents of the commercial space made the hotel economically feasible. The second floor housed 35 guest rooms, a parlor, sitting room, two bathrooms and a sample room. In the late 1990s part of the second floor was converted into apartments.</p><br>
<p>Tipton State Bank is a historic building located in the central business district of Tipton, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. Over the years it was known as Cedar County Bank, First National Bank of Tipton, and City National Bank. The directors of City National Bank voted on March 28, 1923 to build a new bank building. They hired the Clinton, Iowa architectural firm J.C. Woods & Co. to design the Neoclassical style structure. Construction was completed in 1924. The east facade of the two-story building features three columns with capitals in the Corinthian order. Around the corner on the south elevation are two full size pilasters. The windows of that elevation were replaced with glass blocks in 1953. After the National Banking Holiday the bank resumed operations as the Tipton State Bank. It continued to occupy this building until they built a new facility across Cedar Street in 1967.</p><br>
<p>Arcola Mills is a historic house in the unincorporated community of Arcola, Minnesota, United States. Built in 1847, it is considered the third-oldest and largest all-wood-frame house still standing in Minnesota. It was the home of brothers Martin and John Mower, who established one of the first sawmills on the St. Croix River and the community around it. The house and the remnants of the nearby mill were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 as the John and Martin Mower House and Arcola Mill Site for having local significance in the themes of architecture, exploration/settlement, and industry. The property was nominated as an "excellent example" of Greek Revival architecture and for its association with the region&#39;s early settlement and lumber industry. The property now operates as a non-profit event and education center.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Arcola Mills is located 7 mi north of Stillwater, Minnesota. The house is a two-story wood-frame structure with clapboard siding. It originally had a simple rectangular footprint of 36 by. The Mowers added additions to the west and south in the 1870s, but these have since been removed.</p><br>
<p>The east façade of the house, which faces the river, has a full-width porch topped by a deck accessed from the upper floor. Greek Revival elements include corner pilasters and broken pediments at the gable ends.</p><br>
<p>The sawmill was a few hundred feet north of the house. Still standing is a 40 ft stone chimney. A 20th-century summer cottage has been built up against the chimney upon the mill&#39;s original foundation. Other remnants include an engine mount and an embankment for a sluiceway.</p><br>
<h2>Establishment</h2><br>
<p>John Mower, originally from Maine, moved to St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin, in 1842 to work in the lumber industry. His brother Martin settled in Stillwater the following year and John soon joined him on the Minnesota side of the river. With three business partners, Martin established the sawmill north of town in 1847. Two of his partners immediately cashed out while John bought into the enterprise. The brothers built their home adjacent to the mill and established the town of Arcola around it for their employees. Town structures included a general store, a one-room schoolhouse, a boarding house, and shops for carpentry, blacksmithing, and boat-building.</p><br>
<p>John Mower served in the 1854 Minnesota Territorial Legislature and Mower County was named in his honor. Martin Mower worked as the managing owner of the St. Croix Boom Company. John had a wife and children but Martin remained a lifelong bachelor.</p><br>
<p>The original sawmill was powered by a 34 ft water wheel in an enclosed wheelhouse over a spring-fed stream. In 1856 the Mowers rebuilt the mill and converted to steam power, doubling their annual output. Three years later they installed a new steam engine and other equipment, more than doubling their annual output again. By the 1870s, however, the brothers were engrossed in other endeavors and closed the mill.</p><br>
<h2>Later history</h2><br>
<p>The house remained in the Mower family, but by the mid-1930s it was vacant when newlyweds Henry and Katharine Van Meier chanced upon it while collecting ferns. They fell in love with the old structure and arranged to purchase it for a summer home. Over the years they assembled a collection of small cottages on the 50 acre property for use by friends, family, and artists.</p><br>
<p>Katharine Van Meier died in the early 1990s, establishing in her will the Arcola Mills Historic Foundation to preserve the property. Volunteers raised funds and had the house largely restored over the first decade of the 21st century. Arcola Mills now serves primarily as an event venue. From 2010 to 2013 the house also hosted a volunteer-run visitor center for the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, but this partnership with the National Park Service proved economically unfeasible for the Arcola Mills foundation because it could not provide any rental income.</p><br>
<p>State Street Methodist Episcopal Church, now known as State Street United Methodist Church, is a historic Methodist Episcopal church located at Fulton in Oswego County, New York. The original section was built in 1894, and expanded in 1900 with the addition of an auditorium in the Akron Plan. It consists of a one-story auditorium with 1 1/2-story education. A basement was added in 1906, and two-story wing in 1962. The church is constructed of red brick and is in the Romanesque style. It has a slate cross-gable roof and two asymmetrical towers. The larger bell tower is four stories tall and contains two levels of stained glass windows.</p><br>

<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Montville Town House is the town hall of Montville, Maine. It is located at 418 Center Road, in an 1827 former church building. It has served as a center of town government since 1828, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012, in part as a rare example of a "reverse plan" church, where the pulpit is located near the entrance.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Montville Town House is located at a crossroads known as "Center Montville" in eastern Montville, where Center Street is met by North Ridge Road and Morrill Road. It is a single story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof, clapboard siding and granite foundation. The main facade faces roughly south, and has a projecting gabled section across its center, with flanking sash windows on either side. The projecting section has twin entry doors. Trim is simple and vernacular in style. The interior is divided into a vestibule area, a meetingroom for the town selectman, and a large hall now fitted with theater-style seating. Walls are finished with painted wainscoting and plaster above, and the ceiling is finished in pressed tin.</p><br>
<p>The town house was built in 1827 to house the Free Will Baptist congregation, and was known as the North Ridge Meeting House. From 1828 the building was also used by the town for town meetings and other civic purposes. Its main hall originally housed box pews, which were removed at an unknown date, and there is significant evidence that the pulpit (also long since removed) was located in the south wall (nearest the entrance) of the hall, an unusual configuration seen in only a dozen or so churches in Maine. Ownership of the building is uncertain prior to 1895, by which time the congregation had faded away and it was clearly under municipal control. In 1909-10 the town made a number alterations, including the construction of the selectmen&#39;s meeting room and the addition of the tin ceiling. The theater seating was installed in the 1950s, replacing bench pews.</p><br>
<p>The Freeman Farm Historic District encompasses a historic farm property at 342 West Gray Road in Gray, Maine. The 100 acre parcel, originally platted out in 1791, was owned and operated by five generations of the Freeman family, and is emblematic of the changes in agricultural practices over a period of more than 150 years. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Freeman Farm is located in southern Gray, on the west side of West Gray Road (United States Route 202) north of its junction with Maine State Route 115. The property is divided into roughly 12 acre of agricultural fields, with the balance of the property in managed forest. The farm complex is set near the road, and includes the main house, a barn, chicken house, and garage. The former family cemetery (its remains reinterred in the town cemetery) lies at the northwest corner of the cultivated lands.</p><br>
<p>The farmhouse is a 1-1/2 story Cape style wood frame structure, with a central chimney, side gable roof, and long ell extending to the south and west. It was built about 1812 by Jonathan Freeman III, and retains internal finishes and hardware. The barn is a typical New England bank barn of the period, built in the 1830s, and the chicken house was added in the 1880s. The garage is a modern (1960s) addition.</p><br>
<p>The property was worked by five generations of Freemans. At first, it was probably a subsistence operation, with excess produce sold at local markets. Later in the 19th century, with the arrival of the railroad in the area, George H. Freeman, Jr. apparently began bringing products to markets in Portland. Following his death in 1915, the property was taken over by his son, George L. Freeman. A civic engineer by trade, he operated the property as a gentleman&#39;s farm, living there full-time only in retirement. This practice was maintained by his son. The property was sold out of the family after his death in 2000. It is the subject of a preservation easement, held by the Windham Land Trust, that restricts its uses significantly.</p><br>
<p>The George–Pine–Henry Historic District encompasses a residential area of the village Bellows Falls, Vermont. Located west of downtown Bellows Falls, the area has a significant concentration of well-preserved late 19th and early 20th-century residences. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Bellows Falls is an incorporated village within the municipality of Rockingham in southeastern Vermont. It is located on the west bank of Connecticut River, and was the site at which that river was first bridged, in 1785. As a consequence, the village has since then been a transportation hub, as a nexus of water, road, and railroad routes formed there over the course of the 19th century. Industrial development grew in part due to the Bellows Falls Canal, which provided water power to a variety of industries. The village downtown grew immediately west of the canal and the primary industrial area, and its residential neighborhoods grew west and south of the downtown.</p><br>
<p>The George–Pine–Henry area is located west of the village&#39;s first major residential area (encompassed by the Bellows Falls Neighborhood Historic District), which saw significant development mainly in the 19th century. This area is roughly rectangular in shape, bounded by Pine, Burt, George, and Atkinson Streets. Houses are closely spaced, 1-1/2 to 3 stories in height, with wood frame construction. Stylistically they include examples of Greek Revival, Queen Anne, and Colonial Revival architecture, generally in vernacular interpretations. The most elaborate architectural example is probably the three-story Queen Anne Victorian at 6 George Street, which has a turret typical of the style, as well as bands of fish-scale shingling on its walls. The district has 27 historic contributing properties, and five non-contributing properties.</p><br>
<p>John Christian and Bertha Landrock Reichert House, also known as the Wineert-Gelm-Victorian House, is a historic residence located in Tipton, Iowa, United States. J.C. Reichert was a native of Bavaria who immigrated to Ohio in 1837 and moved to Tipton in 1855. He and his brother, John Henry, were carpenters. They became contractors and built numerous buildings in the area. They expanded their business by adding a lumberyard, before they opened a hardware and farm implement business. Reichert also served as a director of the Cedar County State Bank. He hired New York City architect Samuel B. Reed to design his home. It is a rare example of the Stick style in Iowa.</p><br>
<p>The house is a 2½ story frame structure built on a stone foundation. The rectangular-shaped main block is capped with a steeply pitched cross gabled roof. Attached to the main block is a 1½ story ell. A large, rectangular tower is prominent on the main facade, as is the front porch that ends in a pyramid shaped turret. The Reicherts sold the house to Frank D. Wingert, a banker, in 1897 and moved to Cedar Rapids. The house remained in the Wingert family until 1969. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>Downey Savings Bank is a historic building located in the unincorporated community of Downey, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The two-story, brick building is an example of an early</p><br>
<p>twentieth century commercial bank building. At the time it was built the town had several other businesses. The bank continued in operation until 1932 when it was closed during the National Banking Holiday. Because its capital was not large enough to meet the new federal banking regulations it was consolidated with the West Liberty Bank. John Bashor opened a grocery-hardware store in the building in 1935, and operated it here until 1961. The building housed a grocery store from 1961 to 1972. After an attempt to convert it into a pool hall and cabinet shop, it became a pottery in the mid 1970s.</p><br>
<p>Mill Creek Bridge is a historic structure located in a rural area north of Clarence, Iowa, United States.The Cedar Bluff Bridge over the Cedar River was the first all-iron span built in Cedar County in 1877. Four more iron spans were built later that year, as were several others over the years before this bridge was completed in 1889. It is the only one of those bridges left, and one of the oldest pony truss bridges in the state of Iowa. Citizens in Dayton Township petitioned the Cedar County Board of Supervisors in June 1888 for the bridge over Mill Creek. The supervisors contracted with Ward and Keepers of Clinton, Iowa to design and build the bridge. The 58 ft span was built on concrete-filled iron cylinder piers, with timber stringer approach spans. Over the years sub-structural alterations have been made to the bridge. It has subsequently been abandoned and its deck is in a deteriorating condition. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Lincoln Hotel is a historic building located in Lowden, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. Celia Clemmens, who operated the railroad hotel in town, and her husband A.F. Clemmens built and operated this hotel as well. The hotel is a two-story, rectangular structure with an exterior covered with pebble dash stucco.The shallow-pitched hip roof, wide eaves and the stucco finish reflect the influence of the Prairie School, while the Tuscan columns on the porch and crown window moldings reflect the Neoclassical style. Off the front porch the first floor housed a small lobby, guest parlor and dining room, and the owners living quarters. The second floor housed the twelve guest rooms and two bathrooms. A first floor addition built in 1920 to increase the size of the owners quarters has subsequently been removed. The Lincoln Highway in Iowa became USA Route 30 in the 1920s, and it was realigned in the mid-1950s just to the south of Lowden. The hotel was able to stay in business until 1981. The building sat empty for the next twelve years before it was converted into apartments from 1994 to 1995.</p><br>
<p>Kreinbring Phillips 66 Gas Station is a historic building located in Lowden, Iowa, United States. The Lincoln Highway was established in 1913 and passed through Lowden. In Iowa the highway became USA Highway 30  in the 1920s. The Tudor Revival-style cottage portion of the service station was built alongside of US 30 in 1934 following the specifications of the Phillips Petroleum Company. The gas pumps were located on a concrete median, no longer extant, in front of the station. August L. Kreinbring was the first owner/operator of the station and he created a park-like setting to the west of the station where highway travelers could relax. New owners built the service bay annex on the park area in 1949. The storage room on the north side of the cottage was added at the same time. The station remained in operation through different owners and brands until 1998. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<p>Cannakill is an abandoned village located in County Offaly, Ireland.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Cannakill is located to the west of Croghan Hill, south of the Yellow River and about 1 km northwest of Croghan village.</p><br>
<h2>History and archaeology</h2><br>
<p>Cannakill was one of many villages built by Irelands Norman conquerors after the Norman invasion of Ireland (late 12th century). When the Gaelic Irish lords (the Ua Conchobhair Failghe — OConnor Faly) regained control of the area after the Battle of Tochar Cruachain-Bri-Ele (1385), the village was abandoned.</p><br>
<p>The village remnants are composed of the wall footings of four houses. Quarrying led to the discovery of pottery and animal bones to the south of the village during the 1940s.</p><br>
<p>Alexander Pirnie Federal Building is a historic post office, courthouse, and custom house located at Utica, Oneida County, New York. It was named for Congressman Alexander Pirnie in 1984. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural description</h2><br>
<p>The USA Post Office, Courthouse, and Custom House in Utica occupies a full block bounded by Broad Street on the north, John Street on the east, Catherine Street on the south, and Franklin Street on the west. Located on the edge of downtown, the limestone and brick building is separated by an elevated viaduct which dominates the site. Its simple classicized detailing sets it apart from the many Victorian buildings in downtown Utica. Constructed in 1928 and 1929, the three story building rises above a slightly raised basement and is an excellent example of Starved Classicism. The height of the building from first floor level to courtroom parapet is about 58 feet. The basement, first floor, and second floor are approximately square in plan and the third floor is U-shaped. The walls of the building are clad with buff-colored brick, except for the base and center front which are clad in limestone. All of the windows are double hung. The original wood sashes have been replaced with bronze anodized aluminum units.</p><br>
<p>The Broad Street facade is 166 feet long and is divided into eleven bays. The base course serves as a plinth for two-story Corinthian pilasters which mark the bays and support an entablature which extends the full length of the facade. Inscribed in the center of the frieze are the words "Post Office," "Court House," and "Custom House." The two front entrances, at opposite ends of the north elevation, have granite steps bounded by limestone-clad cheek walls. Around the doorway are fluted Tuscan-order pilasters and an entablature. The facade is topped by a simple cornice and a pitched slate roof. Limestone and brick elevator penthouses rise from the pitched roof at each corner.</p><br>
<p>The John Street (side) facade faces east and is 161 feet long divided into thirteen bays. The base is limestone and the first through third floors are brick. An entablature, continuing around from the front, separates the second and third floors. The facade is topped by a slate-covered pitched roof. The northernmost bay reflects the front corner, as both edges of the bay have limestone quoins, and above this bay is the elevator penthouse.</p><br>
<p>The Franklin Street (side) facade on the west is nearly identical to the east facade except that the rear six bays of the third floor extend up above the pitched roof to allow for the additional height of the courtroom. The cornice at the eave line extends across this facade, and at the top of this section is a parapet.</p><br>
<p>The Catherine Street (rear) facade reflects the complexities of the building&#39;s plan in that the ends of the U-shaped third floor face the rear. Across the rear at the base of the building is a loading platform which served the postal workroom, and which is also covered by two flat overhanging canopies. The facade is 166 feet long divided into fifteen bays and is entirely clad with brick. Limestone quoins decorate each corner.</p><br>
<p>The U-shaped third floor has a light court which opens to the rear. The courtroom is at the end of the west wing. At the center rear of the light court is the freight elevator penthouse. The roof along the north side is gabled and the roofs along the east wing and half of the west wing are truncated gables. The end of the east wing is hipped. The courtroom, located at the end of the west wing, has a flat roof. The second floor center light court extends down to the first-floor skylights, and this roof is also flat.</p><br>
<p>The public lobby which extends across the front of the building is one of the most elaborate spaces in the building. The lobby floor is terrazzo with oriental red and white marble borders covers the lobby floor. Round arched openings on either side of the elevator lead to the stairways. Wide corridors opposite the vestibules extend toward the rear from the lobby. The remainder of the first floor is the postal workroom which has been partitioned off. Some remaining areas of the workroom have their original finishes. The floor, bases, wainscots, and trim are all wood, and the walls and ceilings are plaster.</p><br>
<p>The other architecturally significant interior space is the courtroom. It is particularly noteworthy because the original cork-tile floor and all of the original furniture remain intact. Located on the third floor the seventeen-foot-high space is entered through a pair of leather covered and obscure glass doors along the side of the room. All of the walls are paneled with walnut which is set in panels between pilasters. At the top of the wall is an architrave with triglyphs. The ceiling is plaster and has a fret work plaster cornice. The judges and clerks desks are walnut with applied classical detailing.</p><br>

<h3>Construction history</h3><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>Since 1882 this has been the site of Utica&#39;s Post Office. The first building was two stories tall with a stone basement. The building itself was constructed of red brick with stone detailing. The 1927 plans for the current building refer to this project as the "Enlargement, Extension, Remodeling, etc." of the USA Post Office, Custom House, and Courthouse in Utica, New York; a curious title since there are few remnants of the original building. The only remaining portions are massive stone walls and vaults which were the basement of the earlier building.</p><br>
<p>Construction of the Utica Post Office and Custom Building was authorized by the Public Buildings Act of 1926, which also specified that the Supervising Architect of the Department of the Treasury was to be responsible for the design of all public buildings. The building was designed in 1927 by the Office of the Supervising Architect under James A. Wetmore. It has historical significance as Utica&#39;s Main Post Office, Custom House, and Courthouse for almost 50 years. Because of its size and location on the edge of downtown, it stands out as a local landmark. As a good example of Starved Classicism, a style common to public buildings of the 1920s and 1930s, its simple classicized detailing sets it apart from the many Victorian buildings in downtown Utica. Starved Classicism is a restrained, undetailed version of the Neo-Classical Revival, and the Utica building is an excellent example of this architectural style.</p><br>
<p>The Lemhi Boarding School Girls Dormitory is a historic building located on Hayden Creek Road near the community of Lemhi, Idaho. The dormitory is the only surviving building from the Lemhi Reservation, the native homeland of the Lemhi Shoshone. Due to increasing white settlement in the Lemhi Valley in the 1860s, the Lemhi Shoshone requested their own reservation; they received a reservation in 1875, though it had little arable land. A government-sponsored school opened on the reservation in 1881, but it was sparsely attended due to poor conditions and its suppression of the native culture and language. The new girls dormitory opened in 1903 to address the original dormitorys overcrowding and poor ventilation. The dormitory did not serve the reservation for long, as the government dissolved the reservation in 1907 and relocated its residents to Fort Hall. The dormitory building later served as a Grange hall and a community center for the area.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 12, 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Socrates A. Myers House is a historic house located at 300 Hall Street in Salmon, Idaho. The two-story house was built in 1900; at the time, it was part of a farm overlooking the Salmon River. The house has a brick veneer exterior; while it is one of many brick houses built around 1900 in Salmon, it stands out due to its architectural features. A verandah wraps around two sides of the house, and the steep roof has several gables. The house also uses brick in its decorative elements, such as the segmental arches on its first-floor windows and the bands of brick across the gables. A wooden addition was added to the back in 1937 so the house could serve as a dairy.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 2, 1977.</p><br>
<p>William Green House is a historic residence located in the unincorporated community of Rochester, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>Rochester was established in 1836, making it the first settlement in Cedar County and its first county seat. William Green and his family arrived in May 1837. He bought and operated the sawmill, and became a partner in the countys first brick kiln. He was also involved in local politics. He built this house near the Cedar River in 1853. It is believed it was a stop on the Underground Railroad. Supposedly there was a tunnel between the house and the river bank. There is a "bricked-over doorway in the basement and a cell-like hole under the south portion of the house." John Brown stayed in nearby Springdale where his raid on Harpers Ferry was planned, and there were a number of other houses in the area that were also believed to be stops. A stage coach line between Davenport and Iowa City passed through Rochester and the house was an overnight stop for stage passengers after the Rochester Bridge was completed in 1880.</p><br>
<p>The house is a two-story, brick, L-shaped structure. There is a covered veranda on the river side of the house. The four up-stairs bedrooms, although one has been converted to a bathroom, open onto a balcony in the center of the L. Two staircases led to the second floor. A kitchen was added around 1900.</p><br>
<p>Hannah Morse Fowler Hall House is a historic residence located near the unincorporated community of Buchanan, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Hannah Morse Fowler Hall was a wealthy woman from Wallingford, Connecticut whose first husband was an attorney. With Abram Hall, her second husband, she moved to the Iowa Territory in 1845 and acquired this property in Cass Township, Cedar County, Iowa in 1848. She used her own money to buy the property and the title was in her name, not her husband&#39;s. The original house on the property was completed later that year. It remained on the property until sometime between 1968 and 1970. Edward Rate, who owned the property after the Halls, operated a glove manufacturing plant on the property.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The present post-and-beam frame dwelling was completed in 1854. Its design was influenced by the Greek Revival style that was popular at the time. The house is two rectangular blocks that are joined together. The northern-most block is slightly taller than the southern block. They were built on a limestone foundation. On the first floor the living room and the library, which was also used as a bedroom, are in the north block of the house. The dining room, kitchen and pantry, which was later converted into a bathroom, are in the south block. The second floor has two bedrooms and a bathroom in the north block. A bedroom, which was also used as a weaving room, and a room for the hired man are in the south block. There is a staircase in each block, and there is no connecting hallway between the bedrooms in the north block with those in the south block.</p><br>
<p>The District No. 2 School is a historic schoolhouse at Pleasant Street and Caribou Road in Passadumkeag, Maine. Built in the 1840s as a school, it later served as a church, town hall, and library. It is now a museum operated by the local historical society, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The District No. 2 School is located in Passadumkeag Village, at the northeast corner of Pleasant Street and Caribou Road, a short way east of Main Street (United States Route 2). It is a single-story wood frame structure, with a gable roof, clapboard siding, and a rubblestone foundation. Its main facade has a hip-roofed porch sheltering the entrance, supported by clustered columns. The entrance is flanked by fixed-sash windows, with a movable sash window in the gable above the porch. A square tower rises above the entrance, with a louvered belfry topped by a small spire surrounded by a pinnacled balustrade. The interior is composed of a large main room, which occupies the front two-thirds of the building, and a smaller room at the rear.</p><br>
<p>The schoolhouse was built sometime in the 1840s, and served the town&#39;s district encompassing its village center until 1902. It also served as a meeting place for local Baptist and Congregational churches until c. 1905. In 1915 the building was converted for use as a library, at which time the porch and interior room layout were added. Between 1946 and 1968 it was again used as a school, and in 1971 it was sold by the town and converted into a private residence. In 1986 the town bought it back, and gave it to the local historical society, which has restored it and established its museum there.</p><br>
<p>Tell Taban is an archaeological site in north-eastern Syria in the Al-Hasakah Governorate. It is the site of the ancient city of Ṭābetu.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Ṭābetu</h3><br>
<p>The city was mentioned in 18th century BC as a regional center named Ṭābatum in the tablets of the kingdom of Mari, and was destroyed by Samsu-Iluna of Babylon. then came under the rule of the Assyrians.</p><br>
<h4>Autonomous kingdom</h4><br>
<p>An autonomous dynasty ruled the city between the 14th and 12th centuries BC under the suzerainty and acknowledging the supremacy of the Middle Assyrian kings; the rulers of Ṭābetu styled themselves "the kings of Ṭābetu and the Land of Mari".</p><br>
<p>By the time of middle-Assyrian period kingdom of Ṭābetu, the designation "Mari" was likely used to indicate the lands around Ṭābetu and did not refer to the ancient kingdom of Mari located on the Euphrates. Another possibility is that Mari from the Ṭābetu king&#39;s title correspond to "Marê&quot a city mentioned c. 803 BC in the stele of Nergal-ereš, a Limmu of the neo-Assyrian king Adad-nirari III. Marê was mentioned in association with Raṣappu which was likely located in the southern and eastern slopes of the Sinjar Mountains.</p><br>
<p>The origin of the dynasty is vague; the first known two rulers bore Hurrian names. However, "the land of Mari" is mentioned in the Hurrian Mitannian archive of Nuzi, and tablets dating to the 15th and 14th centuries BC from Tell Taban itself reveal that the inhabitants were Amorites.</p><br>
