<p>The David and M. Maria Hughes House is a historic building located in Williamsburg, Iowa, United States. David Hughes, a Williamsburg native, was serving as Iowa County Superintendent of Schools and deputy clerk of court when he established the Iowa Lumber Company. The company was renamed Hughes and Brother Lumber when his brother John joined the business. The brothers became wealthy as the result of a building boom in town after the arrival of the Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Paul Railroad in 1884. David&#39;s wife M. Maria  Hughes was a school teacher. Because of poor eyesight, Hughes retired the year the house was completed, and he sold his share of the business to his brother. He and his wife relocated to their other home in Long Beach, California in 1906, where they owned a considerable amount of real estate. The house remained a single-family dwelling until 1951 when it was divided into three apartments. Starting in the 1980s three separate owners have worked to return the house to its original floor plan.</p><br>
<p>The Cedar Rapids architectural firm of Dieman and Fiske designed the Hughes&#39; house, and it was constructed by local builder Will Long. The 2½-story frame structure is a free classic Queen Anne house built on a limestone foundation. It features a wraparound porch, a hipped roof with a front dormer and cross gables, and a corner tower with a finial. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>McLeod Street Pioneer Cemetery is a heritage-listed cemetery at 127-145 McLeod Street, Cairns North, Cairns Region, Queensland, Australia. It was built from 1877 to 1954. It is also known as Cairns General Cemetery and Cairns Pioneer Cemetery. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Cairns was established officially in October 1876, as a port for the newly discovered Hodgkinson goldfields. When the town was surveyed in late 1876, no provision was made for a public cemetery. Earliest burials took place along the Esplanade to the north of the town centre, near the hospital reserve.</p><br>
<p>On 15 September 1877, almost a year after the establishment of Cairns, a 5-acre site bounded on three sides by McLeod, Gatton and Grove Streets (Section 36, County of Cook, Town of Cairns), was gazetted as a permanent cemetery reserve. The following month, an adjacent five acres (Section 35, bounded on three sides by McLeod, Gatton and Upward Streets) also were gazetted as permanent cemetery reserve.</p><br>
<p>The 10 acre site was chosen because it was thought to be on dry ground, was sufficiently far from the inhabited section of the town, and was accessible from the hospital reserve. Only subsequently was it discovered that the site was poorly drained and subject to seasonal flooding, with graves unable to be dug to a greater depth than 3 feet.</p><br>
<p>Trustees were appointed in December 1877, but the cemetery reserves in McLeod Street appear to have been unregulated and little used until the mid-1880s. New trustees had been appointed in 1879, but by mid-1883 the cemetery was without supervision or management and no register of burials was being kept. There was no road to the site (McLeod Street was unmade beyond Spence Street in 1884), and the land was not cleared.</p><br>
<p>New trustees were appointed in September 1883, and in mid-1884 they applied to the Queensland colonial government for financial assistance to establish the Cairns General Cemetery, and to have regulations for the administration of the cemetery approved. A loan of £200 was granted, and regulations for the administration of the cemetery were gazetted on 5 July 1884. In August 1884, the trustees called tenders for fencing the Cairns General Cemetery, and in February 1885, tenders for clearing the site and also fencing the burial ground on the Esplanade. A sexton had been appointed by February 1885, and in the same month the trustees submitted to the colonial secretary their first return of receipts and expenses, year ending 31 December 1884.</p><br>
<p>Initially, only half of Section 36 and none of Section 35 was fenced as a burial ground. The cemetery appears to have been divided into sections for the use of various Christian denominations, and an area for non-Christians, in which were buried Chinese, Malays, Javanese, and Aborigines. Hebrews may have had a separate section. The Chinese in particular had contributed significantly to the economic and cultural development of Cairns in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and are believed to have celebrated the feast of the dead three times each year at the cemetery.</p><br>
<p>By the end of the 19th century the cemetery had become unkempt, and was cause for local comment. Consequently, in 1900 the trustees sought permission to increase the burial fees to defray the expense of ground improvements. A new sexton, William Parsons, was appointed, and by his efforts the principal pathway was metalled and bordered with variegated hedging plants and crotons, flowering shrubs and trees were planted along the fence fronting McLeod Street, the graves were cleared of weed and spear grass, and couch grass imported from the south was laid.</p><br>
<p>In 1914 a new fence and two gates were erected, but these are no longer extant. Whether this fence enclosed the whole of Section 36 is not clear.</p><br>
<p>On 22 December 1916 a new cemetery in Martyn Street was opened, following which, burials in the McLeod Street cemetery were restricted to those in family plots. The last burial took place in 1949, and the cemetery was closed officially on 11 May 1954. Registers of burials in the cemetery exist only for the period 1887-1919, and a Register of Deaths for the period 1887-1949, but these indicate that between 1887 and 1949 there were approximately 2500 burials in the McLeod Street cemetery.</p><br>
<p>The main reason why the unsuitable site remained in use as Cairns principal cemetery for at least 30 years, was the difficulty experienced in selecting a new location. As early as 1885, the trustees began to investigate alternative sites for a cemetery, and in May 1886, the colonial government, acting on the trustees application, reserved for cemetery purposes a 40-acre site nearly four miles from town. In the process the McLeod Street cemetery reserves created in September and October 1877 were cancelled. The trustees immediately pointed out that half of Section 36, (allotments 1-5 and 16-20), was fenced and in use as a cemetery, and should be re- gazetted. Due to some confusion by the Lands Department, Section 36 was not re-proclaimed a cemetery reserve (R274) until June 1923. No burials had taken place in Section 35, and in 1908/09 it was divided into reserves for a morgue, endemic diseases hospital, and municipal purposes. It is now a reserve for electricity purposes.</p><br>
<p>The 1886 cemetery reserve proved too difficult to access, and was cancelled in 1890 when a new cemetery of 40 acres was reserved from the former police paddock near Stratford. Although increased to over 45 acres in 1891, and located adjacent to the Cairns-Herberton railway, it was never used as a cemetery. In 1928 part of the reserve was resumed and subdivided into residential allotments for workers&#39; housing, and the remaining reserve was cancelled in 1940. In the meantime, the cemetery reserve in Martyn Street had been proclaimed and opened for use in late 1916.</p><br>
<p>The number of burials at the McLeod Street cemetery increased substantially after the turn of the century, and in August 1905 the Cairns Town Council, under the provisions of the Local Government Act of 1902, assumed trusteeship of the Cairns General Cemetery. Technically, this trusteeship referred to the 1890 cemetery reserve near Stratford, but the Cairns Town Council interpreted it as giving them control of the McLeod Street cemetery. This control was not made official until 1923.</p><br>
<p>The Cairns City Council failed in 1965, 1968/69, 1973/74 and 1986, to gain permission from the Lands Department to convert the McLeod Street cemetery into a park. Finally, in 1988, the Council commissioned a conservation plan for the old cemetery. This was adopted and the Council, together with local organisations and volunteers, restored the remaining graves (approximately 290), identified over 200 previously "lost" grave sites, removed self-sown mature trees which were causing damage to graves, rebuilt the fence facing the railway line, lit the principal pathway, and built a small information centre within the grounds. The site was renamed the McLeod Street Pioneer Cemetery, and is promoted in Cairns as a tourist attraction.</p><br>
<p>Burials at the McLeod Street cemetery included the first mayor of Cairns, Richard Ash Kingsford; Cairns&#39; much admired medical pioneer, Dr Edward Albert Koch; men who died during construction of the Cairns to Herberton Railway; and a beche-de-mere fisherman who had been associated with Trinity Bay prior to the establishment of Cairns. The surviving headstones record people from all levels of early Cairns society - professional, business, clerical, political, mercantile - and the cosmopolitan nature of early Cairns is reflected in the range of nationalities, including English, Irish, Scottish, Japanese, Javanese, Chinese, Indian, Italian, Bulgarian and Swedish, buried in the McLeod Street cemetery.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Pioneer Cemetery, located on a level site on the southern corner of McLeod and Grove Streets, is bounded by the Cairns railway to the southwest and industrial buildings to the southeast.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery is well maintained, with many of the trees which had caused structural damage to graves having been removed, and an extensive landscape program undertaken. A rotunda has been recently constructed in the centre of the cemetery to display interpretive material. Paths bounded by colourful native plants, leading northeast to McLeod Street and west to Grove Street, have been laid to replicate those existing in 1901. There is a large group of pine trees to the northwest, which will eventually be removed as the acid from the pine needles damages marble.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery contains denominational divisions, the boundaries of which are not clear, including Protestant, Roman Catholic, mixed denominations and non-Christian.</p><br>
<p>Although the cemetery contains over 2500 graves, many of these are yet to be located. Sub-surface graves, identified with the use of a metal detector locating grave number markers, have each been marked with a small concrete plinth. The plinths incorporate brass plaques inscribed with the name of the deceased, year and place of birth, year of death, last place of residence and occupation, if known. Of these, approximately 200 have been positively identified and a further 100 have been located but lack enough information for positive identification. As possibly only 600-700 graves can be accurately located, the names of all those interred are intended to be placed in the recent rotunda structure.</p><br>
<p>Many of the graves have concrete surrounds with marble headstones. Some graves retain iron railing surrounds, some of which have collapsed or are partially missing. There are a few large monumental graves, featuring carved granite and marble head-pieces.</p><br>
<p>A timber paling fence has been constructed along the southwest boundary, with pine log barriers along both street frontages.</p><br>

<p>The Walnut Grove Farm is a farm complex and historic district located on Knox Station Road 1 mi north of Knoxville, Illinois. George A. Charles, the son of one of Knoxvilles founders, established the farm in 1835. Charles, his sons A.G. and A.P., and A.G.s son George were all both successful farmers and prominent citizens of Knoxville. The farm focused on breeding cattle and growing corn, with an emphasis on the former; at its peak, the farm covered over 1,900 acre, 360 acre of which are included in the historic district. The present farm complex includes a main house, a tenant farmer&#39;s house, a bank barn that was once among the largest in the state, three additional barns, a hog farrowing building, and a collection of outbuildings.</p><br>
<p>The farm was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 24, 1989.</p><br>
<p>Monte Tanarello  or Mont Tanarel  is a 2094 metres high mountain located on the French-Italian border.</p><br>
<h2>Etymology</h2><br>
<p>Tanarello is the diminutive form of Tanaro, the main right-hand tributary of river Po. The river rises between Monte Saccarello and Monte Tanarello as a stream named Tanarello and becomes Tanaro after receiving the waters of another stream called Negrone.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The mountain up to World War II was totally belonging to Italy but, following the Paris Peace Treaties, signed on February 1947, is now shared between Italy and France.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The mountain stands on the main chain of the Alps between Passo Tanarello (2042 m) and Passo Basera (2036 m). Its Italian side belongs to the province of Cuneo, in Piedmont (Tanaro valley), and the French one to Alpes-Maritimes, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d&#39;Azur (Roya valley).</p><br>
<h3>SOIUSA classification</h3><br>
<p>According to the SOIUSA (International Standardized Mountain Subdivision of the Alps) the mountain can be classified in the following way:</p><br>
<p>main part=Western Alps</p><br>
<p>major sector=South Western Alps</p><br>
<p>section=Ligurian Alps</p><br>

<p>The E. B. Colwell and Company Department Store is a historic department store building located at 208 South Main Street and 211 South A Street in Monmouth, Illinois. Local businessman Edward B. Colwell had the store built in 1904. Architect J. Grant Beadle of Galesburg designed the three-story Chicago school building. The store was Monmouths only true department store; its main competitor, the Allen Store, was the largest dry goods store in Monmouth but was nonetheless smaller than the Colwell store. Shoppers came to the store from throughout Warren County, and from elsewhere in western Illinois via car and interurban railroad. The stores size and reputation allowed it to sell goods such as china under their own brand name, and it came to be known as "the Marshall Fields of western Illinois". The store suffered a downturn during the Great Depression, and while Colwells second wife kept it in business for many years, the couple sold their store in 1959.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 3, 1993.</p><br>
<p>The Daniel Young House is a historic house at 34 Main Street in Lubec, Maine. Built in 1822 for a local businessman, it is a regionally rare example of Federal period double house, and one of the only ones known in the state that is built of wood. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Daniel Young House is located in Lubec&#39;s main village, on the south side of Main Street just east of the Congregational Church. It is a two story wood frame structure, with a hip roof and clapboard siding. Its street-facing front facade is six bays wide, arranged symmetrically with a pair of doorways flanked by sash windows. The doorways are set under a shared cornice, with pilasters at the outside and between them, and each topped by a half-round transom. The panel doors, with windows in the upper half, are a c. 1900 alteration, as are the corbelled brick chimneys and the two-over-one sash windows. A single-story ell extends to the rear.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1822 for Daniel Young, a local businessman who occupied the right unit. The house has been a two-family for most of its history, although it spent some time in the 20th century divided into four units. It is the only known example of this form in eastern Maine, and is comparable in the state with brick examples in Portland.</p><br>
<p>Serra de la Vall de la Torre, also known as Serra de la Vall, is a mountain range located at the southern end of the Catalan Pre-Coastal Range, Catalonia, Spain.</p><br>
<p>The ridges highest point is 450.8 m. This mountain range lies within the Benissanet and Corbera dEbre municipal term. It is a smaller and lower northern prolongation of the Serra de Cavalls.</p><br>
<p>In the valley formed between this range and the Serra de Cavalls there is an ancient castle known as Torre de la Vall.</p><br>
<h2>Recent history</h2><br>
<p>These mountains, along with Serra de Pàndols and Serra de Cavalls further south, as well as the Serra de la Fatarella in the north, were the scenario of bloody battles during the Battle of the Ebro in the Spanish Civil War (1936 - 39). The Ebro Battle was also the last action of the International Brigades, who were withdrawn midway through it.</p><br>
<p>The Reißeck, also Großes Reißeck  is, at 2,965 metres above the Adriatic , the highest peak of the Reißeck Group in the High Tauern of Carinthia, Austria. The range forms the southern part of the larger Ankogel Group with its highest summit, the Hochalmspitze, separated by the col of Mallnitzer Scharte at 2,673 m. The mountain also gives its name to the Reißeck municipality, located to the south in the Möll valley.</p><br>
<p>The name Reißeck is derived from an old waterbody name, something like Reisach="mountain stream" or "torrent", which became the Middle High German rîs="the falling one".</p><br>
<p>West and south of the summit block lie the reservoirs of the Verbund Reißeck-Kreuzeck hydropower group, connected with the neighbouring Kölnbrein Dam in the Malta Valley. The Reisseck Railway (Reißeckbahn) funicular and the narrow-gauge Reisseck Mountain Railway, built in the 1950s for the construction of the power station, later ran passenger services and was used for the access of tourists from the Möll valley up to the Alpine huts. Operations on both lines ceased in 2014/2016 and were not resumed so far. The Reißeck Hut, built in 1908 and managed by the ÖGV section of the Austrian Alpine Club, is located at 2,287 m in the immediate vicinity of the former Schoberboden top station, right below the dam of the Großer Mühldorfer See reservoir. A nearby hotel and the adjacent small ski area, opened in the 1960s, today are closed.</p><br>
<p>The normal route runs via the Kalte Herberg col and south arête, an easy climb, to the summit, but it does require sure-footedness. Starting points are the Reißeck Hut or the unmanaged Neue Moos Hut. East-northeast of the Großes Reißeck lies the Kleines Reißeck peak ("Little Reisseck", ); the ridge crossing runns along steep grassy slopes, but is otherwise technically easy. The Reißeck summit offers panoramic views to the surrounding High Tauern ranges, as well as to the Dolomites, Karawanks and Julian Alps in the south.</p><br>

<p>The Evans–West House is a historic house at 40 West Avenue  in Ocean View, Delaware. It is a -story L-shaped wood-frame house, with clapboard siding, a cross-gable roof configuration, and a brick foundation. Its front, facing north toward Oakwood Avenue, is three bays wide, with a single-story hip-roofed porch extending across most of its width, supported by turned columns. The gable at the center of the roof has a pointed window at its center. The house, built 1900-04, is noted for a particularly well-preserved interior, with original floors, porcelain kitchen sink, and etched glass pane in the front door. The property is owned by the Ocean View Historical Society.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The Tui Manua Graves Monument is a funerary marker and grave site on the island Tau, the largest island of the Manua group in American Samoa. It is located northwest of the junction of Tau Village and Tau Island Roads on the west side of the island. It consists of a stone platform, about 3 ft in height, that is roughly rectangular in shape with a projection at one end. Three graves are marked by square sections of smoothed stones, while a fourth is marked by a marble column. A possible fifth grave, unmarked, is in the projection. It is the burial site of several  tui, or kings, of Manua, including Tui Manua Matelita and Tui Manu&#39;a Elisala, the Samoan leader whose signature granted the United States hegemony over the islands.</p><br>
<p>The monument was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The Taylor&#39;s Ford Bridge is a historic structure located southeast of Independence, Iowa, United States. It spans the Wapsipinicon River for 271 ft. In January 1872 the Buchanan County Board of Supervisors contracted with the Wrought Iron Bridge Co. from Canton, Ohio, to build a two-span bridge in the city of Independence for $20,102. It had replaced an earlier span that had been washed away in a flood. Both spans were replaced by a heavier span in 1891. One of the spans was moved to Buffalo Township, and has subsequently been removed. This bridge is the other span. It has been replaced a second time by a heavier bridge, but it remains in place even though it no longer carries vehicle traffic. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Wapsipinicon River Bridge is a historic structure located in Independence, Iowa, United States. It spans the Wapsipinicon River for 341 ft. The Buchanan County Board of Supervisors contracted with the Miller-Taylor Construction Co. from Waterloo, Iowa to build the new bridge on the south side of Independence for $37,680. However, high water created problems during construction, and the bridge was completed in January 1927 for $57,530. It replaced an earlier two-span iron truss bridge. This bridge is a concrete filled spandrel arch bridge with four spans. It was designed by the Iowa State Highway Commission, and continues to carry vehicle traffic. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. There is a similar bridge upstream in Independence that was built in 1918.</p><br>
<p>El Junco Lagoon is a lake in the highlands of San Cristóbal Island in the Galápagos Islands. Despite the name, it is a crater lake rather than a lagoon.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>El Junco inhabits a crater formed by the collapsed caldera of a volcano. Research has indicated the lake to have been extant since the end of the last ice age.</p><br>
<p>Being the only source of fresh water in the Galapagos Islands, its presence led to the first permanent settlements on the island. The name El Junco is Spanish for sedge which is endemic to the islands.</p><br>
<p>During World War II, American forces stationed at the military base on Baltra Island utilized El Junco as a primary source of water, due to it being the closest available source of freshwater.</p><br>
<p>The lake is managed by the Galapagos National Park Service.</p><br>
<h3>Flooding</h3><br>
<p>Due to the lake&#39;s lack of a permanent outflow, heavy rains can cause the lake to breach its banks. Several flood incidents, often corresponding to El Nino, have been recorded. Flooding in 1978 led to an outflow being recorded at 5,400 gal per hour. Similar events in 1978 and 1998 caused serious damage to the nearby Puerto Baquerizo Park.</p><br>
<h2>Ecology</h2><br>
<h3>Flora</h3><br>
<p>The name El Junco is a reference to the endemic sedge (Cyperus anderssonii) which can be found growing close to the lake. Additionally, the endangered Galapagos miconia (Miconia robinsoniana) can be found in the highlands surrounding the lake. Only two populations are known to occur in the wild, the other being in the highlands of nearby Santa Cruz island.</p><br>
<h3>Fauna</h3><br>
<p>Many species of birds inhabit the lake area including the endemic San Cristóbal mockingbird and white-cheeked pintail. Due to its status as an isolated source of fresh water, it is also one of the few place to witness frigatebirds preening their feathers.</p><br>
<h2>Research</h2><br>
<p>According to a 1966 study by Dr. Paul Colinvaux, sediment at the bottom of the lagoon has a thickness of 16 m. Using radiocarbon dating, it has been found that 3 m of the top layer were deposited during the last 10,000 years, with the remaining 13 m deposited during periods of drought over the course of 38,000 years, giving a total sediment age of 48,000 years.</p><br>
<p>It is believed that the climate of the Galapagos went through a dry period caused by glacial advances in the Northern Hemisphere, beginning 48,000 years ago and ending 10,000 years ago.</p><br>
<p>The Robert Frost Farm, also known as "The Gully", is a historic farm property on Buck Hill Road in South Shaftsbury, Vermont. The 1790 farmstead was purchased in 1929 by poet Robert Frost, and served as his primary residence until 1938. During this period of residency, Frost was awarded two Pulitzer Prizes for his poetry. The property was designated a National Historic Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1968; its landmark designation was withdrawn in 1986 after its private owners made alterations that destroyed important historic elements of the property.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Frost Farm is located in southern Shaftsbury, a rural community in southwestern Vermont, on the south side of Buck Hill Road, roughly midway between United States Route 7 and Vermont Route 7A. It consists of 153 acre with a mix of fields and woods, with the main farm complex set on a drumlin with views to the north. The main house is a 1-1/2 story Cape, built about 1790, but altered somewhat by Frost after his purchase, and further altered by later owners. Also on the property are a barn and two smaller frame structures, the latter both used by Frost as writing studios.</p><br>
<p>The farm was purchased by Robert Frost in 1929, and was probably occupied by the family in 1930. Although it was the Frosts primary residence, it was generally only occupied by them on weekends and summers, when Frosts academic duties made it possible. Frost did a significant amount of writing while living here, and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1931 and 1937. After Frosts wife died in 1938, he spent much less time here. The property remained in the family until 1963, when it was sold to artist Kenneth Noland, who maintained it in sympathy to the Frost history. During his ownership period, the property was designated a National Historic Landmark, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A subsequent owner made incompatible alterations to the property in 1984, and the Park Service withdrew its landmark designation two years later. It remains listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>The Furnace Grove Historic District encompasses the remains of a historic 19th-century iron processing facility near Bennington, Vermont. Located on the north side of Vermont Route 9 east of the town center, its production peaked in the 1830s, and was afterward converted into a gentleman&#39;s farm. Surviving elements of its past include the remains of iron smelting furnaces , housing, and agricultural outbuildings. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Furnace Grove stands on the rural eastern outskirts of Bennington, on the north side of Vermont Route 9. The property includes 102 acre sandwiched between a branch of the Walloomsac River to the south and the Green Mountains to the north, and includes three surviving residential structures, a number of agricultural outbuildings, and the industrial remains of its iron foundry past. Few alterations have been made to the landscape since the early 20th century. One of the oldest surviving buildings is a c. 1805 building, originally used as the foundrys company store, and now a private residence. The prominent houses of the complex are the Leake House, a Queen Anne/Colonial Revival building whose oldest parts date to 1830, and the Leavenworth House, a brick 1-1/2 story Federal period house, also with later alterations. Structural ruins of two of the foundrys furnaces survive; a third was broken down, and its stone used to build the gates at the entrance to the area. Also surviving are the remains of a canal and holding pond that provided water to the facility, and a portion of the Bennington and Glastenbury Railroad right-of-way.</p><br>
<p>The iron furnace was established here in 1805, by owners of another nearby furnace whose ore sources were played out. The success of this location was such that the town of Bennington was forced to improve its roads to the area, and at its peak the operators employed 150-200 workers. It produced 7 tons of pig iron, and also had a facility for producing utilitarian iron products, such as cauldrons, fireboxes, cooking stoves, plow points, and machinery parts. The furnace closed in 1842, unable to compete with larger and more advantageously placed businesses, and hampered by issues with its ore sources. In the second half of the 19th century, the property was transformed into a summer country retreat.</p><br>
<p>The Bohemian Savings Bank, also known as the Decorah State Bank, Protivin Branch, is a historic building located in Protivin, Iowa, United States. The town of Protivin was established in 1877, and did not have a bank until 1910. Bohemian Savings Bank was established to prevent people from near by Decorah, Iowa from establishing one here. The Rev. Rudolph Lakomy, the local parish priest, was one of the bank&#39;s organizers and served on its first Board of Directors. He also designed the exterior of the building. The Neoclassical structure was built of smooth concrete blocks that simulate stone. It rests on a concrete foundation. The balustraded porches located on the front and back sides of the building are flanked with columns of the Doric order. The building was built by the John Neuzil construction firm from Fort Atkinson, Iowa. The Fisher-Stevens Co. from Charles City, Iowa designed the interior of the building. Bohemian Savings Bank became a branch of the Decorah State Bank on December 1, 1986. A new bank building was built next door to replace this one in the late 1980s. This building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Savage House is a historic three-storey townhouse in Nashville, Tennessee, USA.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The townhouse was built in the 1850s, prior to the American Civil War, and designed in the Italianate architectural style. In 1859, the house was acquired by Mary E. Claiborne, who turned it into a boarding house until 1881. Three years later, in 1884, it was acquired by Julius Sax, who rented it to the Standard Club, a Jewish private members&#39; club, in 1891.</p><br>
<p>It was acquired by Dr. Giles Christopher Savage, an ophtalmologist and professor at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, in 1889. Savage used it as a practice, as did his daughter, Kate Savage Zerfoss, a Tulane University Medical School graduate who also taught at the Vanderbilt University Medical School. Her husband, Dr. Tom Zerfoss, was a physician with the Vanderbilt Student Health Service. Meanwhile, another one of Dr Savage&#39;s daughters, Portia Savage Ward, opened an antiques store, which closed down in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The building stands next to the Frost Building, another historic building listed on the NRHP.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural significance</h2><br>
<p>It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since January 11, 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Cresco Opera House, also known as the Cresco Theater, is a historic building located in Cresco, Iowa, United States. The first known theater in Cresco was the Lyric Hall, which opened in 1875. It showed the first movies around 1900. The Family and the Cozy theaters opened around the turn of the century. The Lyric was condemned and torn down in 1913, and the other two were considered substandard. The Cresco Commercial Club held a fundraiser in early 1914 to build an opera house. The Cresco Opera House Company was organized around the same time. The building was completed by the end of the year, and it opened in 1915. It was designed by local engineer Joseph H. Howe, and constructed by local builder Martin Johnson. The musical "High Jinks" was the first performance held in the theater. The theater, which seats 425, was equipped to show movies and there was a community hall in the basement. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.</p><br>
<p>The State Bank of Stratford is a historic building located in Stratford, Iowa, United States. The bank opened for business in 1891, eight years after the town was incorporated. Its early success reflected the prosperity in rural Iowa at the time. The bank occupied this corner since 1910, and this building was completed in 1918. The older building was relocated to the west, and it is still extant. It survived the agricultural economic downturn of the 1920s, but it could not survive the Great Depression. The bank building was purchased in 1936 by the Farmer&#39;s Savings Bank, which operated in this building until a new bank building was built across the street to the south. The Georgian Revival elements of the building include the pedimented entrance portico, elliptical arched windows, the brick quoining on the corners, and the dentilated cornice. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Schultz Brothers Drug Store, also known as Ye Olde Drug Store, is a historic building located in Williams, Iowa, United States. W.B. and O.W. Schultz bought this property in 1897 and had the building constructed in 1901. The Late Victorian structure was built by E.D. Curtis of Hampton, Iowa. The Schultz brothers moved their expanded drug store into the building in September 1901. The two-story brick building has commercial space on the first floor and two apartments on the second floor. The business was sold to Donald O&#39;Neill in 1915, and he added a soda fountain. After 1959 the building no longer housed a pharmacy. At some point the building was left vacant until 1992, after which it was converted into an ice cream shop. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>Ensenada Honda , also known as "Puerto Grande"  and "Bahía Honda" for its elongated shape, is the largest inlet on the island of Culebra, Puerto Rico.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Since the 19th century, observers have deemed Ensenada Honda among the safest Caribbean harbors. Its irregular coastline features rocky cliffs, sandy beaches, and mangrove forests. Three smaller inlets gate the cavernous cove: "Malena" and "Dakity" to the west, and "Mosquito" to the east. A number of distinct coral specimens inhabit the area around Culebra, and some communities have flourished at the very bay&#39;s entrance. They form bars barely above sea level and block portions of its opening.</p><br>
<h2>Environmental history</h2><br>
<p>For most of the 20th century (1902-1975) the bay served as grounds for military training, as wreckage left from the time reveals. Explosions and the resulting contamination left pulverized underwater craters and diminished the health of sea life. But low-tech, community-based programs and coral grafting have expanded the reefs&#39; fields and increased their bio-diversity. The bay is today an eco-tourist destination, celebrated for its turtles, and the center of the local fishing industry.</p><br>
<p>The Carbajal Valley  is located in the Fuegian Andes of southern Tierra del Fuego Province, Argentina. The Carbajal valley is approximately 20 km long, running west  to east , between the Alvear mountain range to the north and the Vinciguerra range to the south. Andes peak heights in the region are generally less than 1,250 m above sea level.</p><br>
<p>Argentine Route 3 runs diagonally through Ushuaia (SW-NE) along the Río Olivia past the west base of and around the northwestern and northern base of.</p><br>
<h2>Topography</h2><br>
<p>During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), approximately 20 ka BP or 20,000 years ago, a Valley glacier carved the Carbajal-Tierra Mayor valley (described as the "glaciation axis of the Fuegian Andes") from northwest to southeast, with an ice tongue forking south along the Valle Río Olivia into the Beagle Channel immediately to the east of Ushuaia. Based on the geological study of the erosion patterns, the Carbajal glacier’s ice thickness was 600-800 m. Several existing glaciers (e.g., Ojos de Albino, Vinciguerra) were tributaries of the Carbajal glacier.</p><br>
<p>In the early Holocene period (11.7–8.2 ka BP/11,700–8,200 years ago), by 10.3 ka BP (10,300 years ago), ice had receded from the valley walls and vegetation was growing. By the middle Holocene period (8.2–4.2 ka BP/8,200–4,200 years ago), forest growth was expanding.</p><br>
<p>Currently, the nearly U-shaped valley floor (pictured) is covered with "Sphagnum peat bogs and poorly drained mires."</p><br>
<p>The Arch Bridge is a historic stone arch bridge, carrying Benner Road over the Pemaquid River near the village of Bristol Falls in Bristol, Maine. Probably built before 1857, it is one of the state&#39;s oldest stone bridges, and is remarkably well-preserved for its age. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Pemaquid River roughly bisects the peninsula on the Maine coast that the town of Bristol occupies. The village of Bristol Falls is located near the peninsula&#39;s geographic center, stretching out along Bristol Road (Maine State Route 130). Near its northern end, Benner Road crosses the river just below the outlet of Biscay Pond, providing access from the village to the northeastern part of the peninsula. The bridge it crosses on is a dry-laid stone arch structure with span of 14 ft and a total length of 21 ft. It is built out of roughly quarried stone and river cobbles, with its base laid directly on bedrock. The top of the arch is about 14 ft above the bedrock, and it is built up another 4 ft to the paved roadway. The sides of the bridge are lined with granite curbing and modern wooden guardrails.</p><br>
<p>The construction date of the bridge is unknown, but circumstantial evidence and its construction methodology suggest a date before 1857. Town records before 1825 and after 1895 give no indication of funding for a bridge at this location. Benner Road is found on 1795 and 1815 maps of the area, and an 1857 map clearly identifies an arched bridge at this location. Its construction method is consistent with a similar bridge un Upper Round Pond Road. The bridge has needed only modest repairs since its construction.</p><br>
<p>The Loring House Apartments are a senior housing complex at 1125 Brighton Avenue in Portland, Maine. The occupy the buildings of the Portland City Hospital, built in 1902-04 as the city&#39;s poor house. The complex was designed by the prominent local firm of F. H. & E. F. Fassett, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Loring House Apartments occupy a landscaped parcel of 1.5 acre in Portland&#39;s Nasons Corner neighorhood. It is set on the north side of Brighton Avenue (Maine State Route 258), just east of the point where it crosses Interstate 95. It consists of a cluster of 2-1/2 story brick buildings, with a central 3-1/2 story main building, all linked together by connecting wings. The outer buildings are only modestly styled, with hipped or gabled roofs, and windows set in segmented-arch openings. The main building has more elaborate Colonial Revival elements, including a balustraded porch, and a hip roof with modillioned cornice. A central dormer is filled with a Palladian window.</p><br>
<p>Portland has been providing some sort of facilities for the assistance of the indigent since the 18th century. This property was built in 1902-04 for the "convenience and economy" of providing such facilities in a single place. This type of facility fell out of fashion in the second quarter of the 20th century, and it was then converted into a hospital, providing subsidized medical services to the city&#39;s poor. In the early 1980s it was converted to senior housing.</p><br>
<p>The Governor Jonas Galusha Homestead is a historic homestead at 3871 Vermont Route 7A in Shaftsbury Center, Vermont. Built in 1783 and enlarged in 1805, it is a well-preserved example of Federal period architecture. It was built by Jonas Galusha, Vermont&#39;s fifth governor and a leading politician and military figure of southern Vermont for many years. It is now home to the Shaftsbury Historical Society, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Governor Joseph Galush Homestead is located near the northern end of the dispersed rural village of Shaftsbury Center, which is strung along Vermont Route 7A, the former alignment of United States Route 7 and historically the major north-south route through the area. The homestead includes 174 acre, much of which is either in agricultural use or wooded. Its building complex is located near the propertys southeastern corner, on the west side of the road, at one of its highest points. The main house is a 2-1/2 story wood frame I-house, with a side gable roof, end chimneys, clapboard siding, and a marble block foundation. Extending to its rear are a 1-1/2 story ell. The main facade is five bays wide, with a central entry with marble floor sheltered by a gabled porch, and a Palladian window above. The interior retains original features from the early 19th century, including hand-forged hinges and latches made by the buildings most prominent resident, Jonas Galusha.</p><br>
<p>The oldest portion of the house is the small rear ell, which was built by Galusha in 1783. The front part of the house he built in 1805, supposedly to a design by local master builder Lavius Fillmore. The house was home to Galusha until his death in 1834. He was a major force in the politics and military of southwestern Vermont for many years, serving in American Revolutionary War at the Battle of Hubbardton and the Battle of Bennington. He was sheriff of Bennington County in the 1780s, and the fifth Governor of Vermont.</p><br>
<p>Bridge Number 3355 in Kathio Township, in Mille Lacs County, Minnesota, is a concrete slab bridge that carries USA Route 169  over Whitefish Creek near Mille Lacs Lake. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural significance, especially the ornamental stonework as designed by the National Park Service and built by the Civilian Conservation Corps.</p><br>
<p>The original bridge was built in 1921 with a span of 16 ft and a width of 20 ft. In 1939 the bridge was widened to 60 ft to fit the roadway and two granite sidewalks. The basic construction was still a concrete slab, but the abutment extensions, railings, and retaining walls were built of random-coursed granite. This was part of a roadside beautification and wayside development project near the town of Garrison. The elaborate stonework was undertaken as part of the work relief offered through the New Deal, so a labor-intensive approach was chosen.</p><br>
<p>The Wabash Combination Depot-Shenandoah, also known as the Shenandoah Wabash Depot, is an historic building located in Shenandoah, Iowa, United States. The depot was built in 1903, and replaced a smaller and older structure. It was designed by and served the Wabash Railroad as a combination passenger and freight station. The Queen Anne and Stick-Eastlake style station was a standard design used by the railroad. The single-story, frame structure features a gabled roof and wide, overhanging eaves. It was an island station that sat in the midst of the tracks. The rear track was used for loading and unloading freight, while the main line rails were along the front. The depot was acquired by the Wabash Trace Nature Trail from the Iowa Southern Railway. The Wabash Trace relocated it to Sportsman&#39;s Park in Shenandoah, along the Burlington Northern tracks. The depot was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Iowan&#39;s Hotel, now known as the Railroad Inn, is a historic building located in Essex, Iowa, United States. The town of Essex was established by the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad. It was platted in 1870 as a station along the line. The depot opened in 1871 and the Lindel Hotel was completed in 1878. This building was completed in 1906 to replace the outdated Lindel. It operated under a variety of names over the years, including the Essex Hotel, Rose Hotel, Commercial Hotel, Bradley Hotel, Butler Hotel, Essex House, and the Railroad Inn. It is operated as a bed and breakfast under the last name. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>The hotel is a two-story, brick structure that rests on a brick foundation. The basement rises a half story above grade. The rectangular main block is capped with a hipped roof. Five guest rooms are located on the second floor.</p><br>
<p>The Clarinda Carnegie Library, now known as the Clarinda Carnegie Art Museum, is a historic building located in Clarinda, Iowa, United States. The Clarinda Public Library was organized in 1905. The library board applied for a grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York for $15,000 on February 21, 1907. W.W. Welch was the architect of the Carnegie library building that was dedicated on April 15, 1909. In time the building became too small. The Lied Foundation of Las Vegas donated $1 million towards a new facility, and a special election held in October 2002 allowed the city to borrow the same amount for a new building. Groundbreaking for the new building took place on May 28, 2003, and the new Lied Public Library was opened on October 11, 2004. The old library building has been transformed into an art museum, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Goldenrod Schoolhouse is a historic building located in Clarinda, Iowa, United States. The 23 by one-room school was built in Fremont Township, northern Page County, in 1873. Jessie Field taught in the school at the turn of the 20th century. She initiated a school program here in March 1901 that eventually developed into the 4-H organization. The building served as part of the Page County rural school system until 1960. It was slated for demolition when it was saved and moved to the Page County Fairgrounds in Clarinda in 1965. It was near to the place that Jessie Field had held the first Boys Farm Camp and Camp of the Golden Maids in 1910 and 1911. The former school building was originally listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The land the old schoolhouse was located on was quite low and flooding and drainage had become a problem. Changes in the city&#39;s water system would have affected the area. The Nodaway Valley Historical Society had created a museum with a display of rural schools and the beginnings of 4-H near the fairgrounds. The Goldenrod Schoolhouse was moved to the museum in January 1993. Because of the move it was removed from the National Register in August 1993, and it was returned again the following year.</p><br>
<p>The W.T.S. White House and Carriage House are historic buildings located in Clarinda, Iowa, United States. White created his fortune as president of the Clarinda Poultry Butter and Egg Company. He hired local architect William W. Welch to design his house. It and the carriage house were completed in 1906, and White moved to Chicago the following year. He sold the property to A.U. and Agnes Hunt for $8,000. The house and carriage house were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. Both structures are Colonial Revival in style. The 2½-story frame house features Tuscan columns on the front porch, dentil cornice, and diamond lights in the second floor windows. The two story carriage house measures 25 by, and is located behind the main house. It originally housed a horse and buggy, and has been transformed into an automobile garage.</p><br>
<p>Stanton House is a heritage-listed office building at 197-203 Flinders Street, Townsville CBD, City of Townsville, Queensland, Australia. It was built from 1885 to 1930s. It is also known as Hof&#39;s Building. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Stanton House was constructed in 1885 for John Frederick Hof, who had owned the land since 1867, and replaced two timber shops on the same block.</p><br>
<p>Townsville was established in 1864 by partners John Melton Black and Robert Towns and was gazetted as a port of entry in 1865. It grew quickly as a supply centre and by 1873 the port was receiving international as well as coastal traffic. Improvements were carried out to improve port facilities and to allow larger ships to anchor. By 1880 Townsville was the port for several major goldfields and had opened the first stage of the railway line westwards through Charters Towers and beyond, consolidating its importance as a port and mercantile centre. Retail business was an important part of this development. John Frederick Hof arrived in Victoria from Germany in 1856 and worked on a number of goldfields in that colony as a carrier. Moving to Queensland in 1861, he followed a variety of occupations before working again as a carrier at the Cape River diggings in North Queensland. He also took up speculative ventures in mining, acquiring a crushing plant at Georgetown in partnership with Willmett. In 1882 this was sold to the Papa Company and Hof moved to Townsville at the beginning of 1883 with a view to building a set of shops on his Flinders Street block.</p><br>
<p>Recent fires had destroyed a number of buildings in Flinders Street and it was declared a first class area, where only building in stone, masonry or metal was permitted. This meant that timber buildings from the first stage of settlement were being replaced with substantial masonry ones, an encouragement to do likewise even for those whose property had escaped fire damage. Because of the subsequent building boom, labour and materials were scarce and some buildings remained at the planning stage for extended periods. Presumably in response to this, Hof set up the Brunswick Brick and Tile Works and is said to have used bricks produced by himself for "Hof&#39;s Buildings" completed in 1885. This and other buildings effected a redevelopment of the street which reflected the success of the town as a commercial centre. By 1900 there was a line of handsome and fashionable buildings down both sides of Flinders Street.</p><br>
<p>Hofs new premises were 2 storeys high and comprised 3 shops with an entrance hall and stairway leading to offices on the upper floor. Leases were immediately taken out by Otto Geburek and Michael Sandstein and Philip Harris. The Beale & Co. Ltd piano and musical instrument showroom, who occupied the largest of the premises, held a special event with demonstrations of piano playing in late May to mark their opening. Willmetts printery business next door responded to a perceived need by offering sheet music for sale.</p><br>
<p>A number of tenants leased space in the building for many years. The New Zealand Insurance Company&#39;s initial lease began in 1906 and they did not move out until 1935, the Mains Roads Commissioner had offices in the building throughout the 1930s and by 1944 were occupying space on the top floor extension added in the late 1930s. When this occurred the original decorated parapet was not reinstated.</p><br>
<p>In 1933 the building was purchased by the Corporation of the Diocesan Synod of North Queensland, although it was already used as the Diocesan Registry. The building was named "Stanton House" in honour of George Henry Stanton who became the first Bishop of North Queensland in 1878.</p><br>
<p>The Diocese sold the building in 1978. It has changed hands several times since and continues to be leased for various commercial purposes. Although renovations have taken place, the layout and functioning of the 3 original shops and offices are still discernible.</p><br>
<p>At the time of heritage listing, Timezone, an amusement centre, occupied most of the ground and first floors. They no longer operate in Townsville; by May 2015, the building was vacant, boarded up at ground floor, and advertised for sale. In January 2016, the building was still being advertised for sale.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Stanton House is one of a group of nineteenth century commercial buildings situated at the eastern end of Flinders Street, the major commercial street of Townsville.</p><br>
<p>The building backs on to Melton Hill and the top storey does not run for the full depth of the building. The two lower storeys are of brick rendered at the front and the later section to the top is of concrete and is much plainer in form. The street elevation is asymmetrical and has two pairs of windows on one side of the entrance and stairwell and three windows on the other, indicating the position and size of the original shop space. The fenestration on both upper floors demonstrates this arrangement of space. The ground floor has modern shop fronts with aluminium framed windows sheltered by a modern cantilevered awning. The front door is flanked by glass panels and has glass transoms. The timber staircase to the first floor remains, as do most internal walls.</p><br>
<p>The first floor has rounded headed windows separated by decorated pilasters and a smaller central window at the head of the staircase. The top storey has similarly spaced rectangular windows and is very plain. The parapet is severely plain and conceals the metal clad roof.</p><br>
<h2>Heritage listing</h2><br>
<p>Stanton House was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992 having satisfied the following criteria.</p><br>
<p>The place is important in demonstrating the evolution or pattern of Queensland&apos;s history.</p><br>
<p>The rapid growth of Townsville in the late 19th century occurred because of the way in which North Queensland was developed by the establishment of key ports as commercial and administrative centres. Stanton House, as a substantial masonry commercial building of the 1880s, demonstrates the prosperity of Townsville in that period when considerable redevelopment was taking place in the city centre.</p><br>
<p>The place is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a particular class of cultural places.</p><br>
<p>Stanton House, in spite of alterations, is a good example of a commercial building of its era, being a set of substantial masonry shops with offices above.</p><br>
<p>The place is important because of its aesthetic significance.</p><br>
<p>In form, scale and detail, Stanton House makes a major visual contribution to the streetscape of Flinders Street. It forms part of an important group of nineteenth century commercial buildings at the eastern end of the street.</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>As the Anglican Diocesan Registry for many years it has an association with the development of the church in North Queensland.</p><br>
<p>Synod Hall is a heritage-listed Anglican church hall at 36 Cleveland Terrace, Townsville CBD, City of Townsville, Queensland, Australia. It was built from 1897 to 1898. It is also known as Jubilee Hall and Parish Room. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Synod Hall was opened during the first week of January 1898.</p><br>
<p>Townsville was founded in November 1864. Although it is not known when the first Church of England services were held in the township it is known that the first services were conducted in the Court House, which was built by March 1866. These services were conducted by local lay preachers or itinerant ministers. In February 1866 Rev Mr Searle, visiting minister from Bowen, requested the appointment of an incumbent to the parish of Townsville with Rev James Adams accepting the position by mid 1866.</p><br>
<p>On 24 December 1872 land for a church was purchased on Melton Hill by trustees James Gordon, Frederick Walker and William Aplin. In February, 1884 control of the land passed to the Corporation of the Diocesan Synod of North Queensland.</p><br>
<p>On 18 November 1887 tenders were called for the construction of a "Parish Room", to be built to a design prepared by Townsville architectural firm Eyre and Munro. The building does not appear to have been constructed at that time because the Mayor and Alderman of the Townsville Town Council received a letter, dated Thursday 30 December 1897, from St James Parochial Council inviting them to the official opening of the Jubilee Hall on the following Wednesday 5 January 1898.</p><br>
<p>The new hall, constructed in 1897, the Diamond Jubilee Year of Queen Victoria, was given the name Jubilee Hall. It is interesting to note that 1887, the year tenders were first called for a "Parish Room", was the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria.</p><br>
<p>The 1897 hall may have been constructed to a design by Townsville architect Walter Morris Eyre, a member of the Cathedral Committee and supervising architect for the Sydney firm of Blacket and Sons, designers of St James Cathedral. Eyre took over the supervision of the construction of the Cathedral after the Diocese dispensed with the services of Arthur Blacket on 5 March 1890. By 1897, Eyre who was no longer in partnership with Munro, was practicing as an architect, civil engineer and building inspector. He was also still on the Cathedral Committee and it seems probable that he designed the Jubilee Hall.</p><br>
<p>After it was constructed the hall became a focus for parish and diocesan activities including the gathering of the Ninth Synod of the Anglican Diocese of North Queensland who met in 1898 soon after the building was opened. The name was later changed to Synod Hall, probably because the Synod of the Anglican Diocese of North Queensland continued to hold their meetings in the building.</p><br>
<p>In 1899 Miss Florence Buchanan of Thursday Island, was invited by Bishop Christopher Barlow to work among Chinese and Japanese children in Townsville. A Japanese school was opened in Synod Hall by Miss Buchanan and a school for Chinese children was opened in the Mission Hall, constructed below Synod Hall. The Japanese school continued at least until 1902 when Miss Buchanan returned to Thursday Island. The mission hall was destroyed in Cyclone Leonta in 1902 and does not appear to have been rebuilt.</p><br>
<p>At one time the Anglican High School for Girls (later St Ann&#39;s School) held classes in the hall and in 1903, while repairs were being carried out after St James Cathedral was damaged during Cyclone Leonta, Synod Hall was used for church services.</p><br>
<p>Several early photographs show the Synod Hall from the early 1900s. The land between the hall and the cathedral was level, with access to the hall via a driveway rising up between the buildings. The north- western verandah has changed little, but there was a handrail between the posts with blinds behind. The south-eastern verandah was similar to the other, being open at the front with some infill panels of boarding between posts towards the rear. This confirms that the present Green Room was a later addition, perhaps between the wars. At the front is a decorative fretwork panel above the gable tie. On the flat land between the two buildings, photographs from the inter-war period show a structure which appears to be a tennis court.</p><br>
<p>The hall, used as a parish centre for one hundred years, lost this central role after a new parish building was constructed on a nearby site in the 1980s. In keeping with its past role as a social and administrative centre, the building was leased to the Townsville Little Theatre in October 1994 and was used as a rehearsal studio, performance venue and headquarters for the theatre company. In December 1998, the Townsville Little Theatre moved to other premises.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Synod Hall is nestled into the south-western side of Melton Hill, which separates Townsville&#39;s central business district from Cleveland Bay, and is part of the foothills to the east of Castle Hill. The hall is sited to the east of St James Cathedral on a small terrace, with thicket behind and the stony hillside falling away from the front of the building. The principle facade overlooks the city centre to the south, and is prominent from Denham Street, a major thoroughfare.</p><br>
<p>The hall is a rectangular timber building on a near north-south axis, with verandahs along both sides. The gabled roof is painted corrugated iron, with a gabled ridge vent running most of its length, and a lean-to roof to each verandah. At each end of the ridge is a finial-like timber cross.</p><br>
<p>The building is set close to ground level on a concrete slab, with the timber framing mounted on hobs. The walls are lined with chamferboards and the timber framing exposed externally. Above the windows and within the gables the walls are sheeted with chamferboards externally also.</p><br>
<p>The southern facade facing the city has three tall narrow openings, symmetrically arranged. The outer two are a pair of timber louvre shutters, with corrugated iron hoods over. The central opening has similar shutters and a fixed panel of louvres above, plus a more ornate gabled hood.</p><br>
<p>The building is approached from the elevated carpark to the west. The western verandah is open, apart from a small store to the rear also of exposed framing. The verandah is framed in stop-chamfered posts and rafters. Opening onto the verandah are two substantial sliding doors clad in beaded boards, with panels of open timber battening above. Other doors are also boarded.</p><br>
<p>The eastern verandah is enclosed as a kitchen, clad with external chamferboards and glass louvres, and lined with fibrous cement sheet. Towards the rear, the Green Room projects past the line of the verandah, and is clad in chamferboards with panels of fixed timber louvres.</p><br>
<p>The internal walls of the hall are the beaded face of the horizontal cladding boards. There is a timber floor to the hall, and a timber stage to the northern end.</p><br>
<p>The ceiling is divided into six bays by curved and moulded timber brackets, joined by tie rods across the room. A pressed metal ceiling rose is centred within each bay. The ceiling also is lined with beaded boards, running diagonally where the ceiling rakes up to the collar tie.</p><br>
<p>Behind the stage are two windows of adjustable timber louvres, trimmed with moulded architraves and with triangular pediments over.</p><br>
<h2>Heritage listing</h2><br>
<p>Synod Hall was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992 having satisfied the following criteria.</p><br>
<p>The place is important in demonstrating the evolution or pattern of Queensland&apos;s history.</p><br>
<p>Synod Hall demonstrates the early development of Townsville and the growth of the Anglican Church in North Queensland. It housed the meetings of the Synod, church services during repairs to the Cathedral, school classes and social and community functions. It is one of a group of buildings, including St James Cathedral, which still form the focus of the Anglican Church in Townsville.</p><br>
<p>The place demonstrates rare, uncommon or endangered aspects of Queensland&apos;s cultural heritage.</p><br>
<p>Built in 1897, it is one of few surviving examples of a timber public building constructed with an exposed timber frame, a technique important in the development of North Queensland. It is also one of few surviving timber public buildings in Townsville from that period.</p><br>
<p>The place is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a particular class of cultural places.</p><br>
<p>Its design demonstrates a response to the tropical climate with the use of a substantial roof vent, side verandahs and sliding doors, and timber shutters and window hoods. These hoods, shutters and other ornamentation of the primary facade combine to form a composition of architectural competence.</p><br>
<p>The place is important because of its aesthetic significance.</p><br>
<p>The hall, whilst not imposing, is a landmark on the city side of Melton Hill. It overlooks the Central Business District of Townsville, and is readily appreciated from Denham Street, a major thoroughfare.</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 hall has had a long association with the Anglican community, functioning as a parish centre for almost a century.</p><br>
<p>Öschbrig  with an elevation of 696 m, is a wooded mountain in Switzerland overlooking to the east Zürichsee .</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Öschbrig is a wooded mountain located to the east of the city of Zürich, between the Glatt river valley and Lake Zürich. Its highest point is about 200 m above the Lake Zürich. The mountain is part of a chain of hills — among them Käferberg, Adlisberg and Pfannenstiel — between Greifensee (Lake Greifen) and Lake Zürich.</p><br>
<p>On the western flanks of the Öschbrig is located part of the Zürich quarter of Witikon. On the slope between the north side of the mountain and the southeast side of the Adlisberg is situated the hamlet of Pfaffhausen, belonging to the gemeinde of Fällanden.</p><br>
<h2>Origin of the name</h2><br>
<p>Öschbrig is the Swiss German form of "Oetlisberg", which is the name given to the forest lying on the mountain. "Oetli" could be a family name or could derive from the alemannic male names Otmar or Otfrid. The name Öschbrig is first attested in 1492.</p><br>
<h2>Nature</h2><br>
<p>The Öschbrig is covered with a larch forest, partially destroyed by the Lothar storm in December 1999. Douglas spruces, uncommon in this region, are also present, while the clearings created by Lothar have been colonized by beeches and ashes. In the forest live among others voracious deer.</p><br>
<p>The Brunswick Commercial Historic District encompasses the historic late-19th century commercial core of Brunswick, Maine. It includes the northern four blocks of Maine Street, the town&#39;s principal commercial thoroughfare, which was laid out in the late 17th century. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Brunswick&#39;s early colonial history begins with the establishment of Fort Andross, on the south bank of the Androscoggin River near the former Cabot Mill site, in about 1688. From this fortification a wide road was made to the shores of Maquoit Bay to the south, which became what is now called Maine street. The town of Brunswick was chartered in 1737, and was initially powered economically by mills along the river, and by maritime trade. Bowdoin College was chartered in 1794, with its campus south of the commercial district, and the mills were expanded in the 19th century, especially after the railroad arrived in 1849. In the 20th century, Brunswick Naval Air Station, southeast of the downtown, also provided an economic benefit to the region.</p><br>
<p>The historic consists of the northern four blocks of Maine Street, including most of the buildings between Mill and Pleasant Streets. These buildings are typically one or two stories in height, either of brick or frame construction. Most of them are Colonial Revival in style, although a number of earlier 19th century revival styles are also represented. Retail storefronts predominate on the ground floors, with professional offices or residences on the upper floors. One architecturally prominent building is Lemont Block at Maine and Pleasant: it is a three story brick Second Empire structure built in 1870.</p><br>
<p>The Hard Farm Homestead, also known as the Zera Hard House, is a historic farm complex on River Road in Manchester, Vermont. Consisting of an early 19th-century Cape, an 1840s Greek Revival house, and a number of 19th-century outbuildings, it represents a rare surviving assemblage of farm buildings in the town. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Hard Farm Homestead is located in southern Manchester, its buildings on either side of River Road, just north of Muddy Lane. The main house is set on the east side of the street, overlooking the Battenkill River. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a prominent two-story Greek Revival temple portico facing the street. Across the street stand a 1-1/2 story Cape style house, along with a barn, corn crib, shed, and chicken coop, all dating to the 19th century. A 20th-century garage stands adjacent to the main house. The construction method of the main house is an unusual form of plank construction, in which planking is laid horizontally (rather than vertically as in typical plank frame construction), with layers randomly overlapping and joined by spikes.</p><br>
<p>The oldest building of the complex is the Cape, which was, according to Hard family records, built by Quakers named Soper about 1806. It was later purchased by Jesse Hard, and it was his son Zera who built the Greek Revival house about 1840. The Hard family has long had a prominent place in Manchester, one of its members operating the drugstore in the center, and another a noted local poet. The Greek Revival temple front of the main house is a particular rarity in the town.</p><br>
<p>The Viola Coombs House is a historic house at 33 Main Street in Bowdoinham, Maine. Built about 1910, it is significant as an example of transitional Colonial Revival/Queen Anne architecture in a residential setting. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Viola Coombs House stands on the north side of Main Street (Maine State Route 125), a short way east of its junction with Center Street and Back Hill Road. It is set between the Italianate Robert P. Carr House (to its left), and the Second Baptist Church (to its right). The Coombs House is a two story wood frame structure, roughly rectangular in plan, with a hip roof pierced on its front face by a hipped dormer. The roof has extended eaves, particularly over the front right corner of the house, which is clipped to an angle; the eaves are studded with decorative brackets. The dominant feature of the house is its porch, which extends across the front and around the right side. Its roof is supported by bulky Tuscan columns, with a balustrade of turned spindles. The main entrance is framed by sidelight and transom windows, with slender Tuscan columns flanking its outer edges. The interior features high quality period woodwork that is largely unaltered.</p><br>
<p>The house was built circa 1910 for Viola V. Coombs, a Bowdoinham native born in 1844. She commissioned the design from Harry S. Coombs, of Lewistons Coombs Brothers architectural firm, then one of the states leading architects.</p><br>
<p>Hill&#39;s Island is an island on the Cumberland River in Davidson County, Tennessee, USA. It is the fourth smallest island between Old Hickory Dam and Cheatham Dam. The island is only accessible by boat. The town of Madison, Tennessee can be seen from the island.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The island was originally home to Native Americans. The island was then used by the Seventh-day Adventist Church.</p><br>
<p>The island was donated by the Adventist Health System to the Tennessee Parks and Greenways Foundation in 2006. As of 2015, the foundation planned to turn the island into an education opportunity for schoolchildren to experience the Tennessee wilderness. The island is home to "deer, turkey, herons, raccoons, snakes, otters, and a bald eagle."</p><br>
<p>The Pownal Cattle Pound is a historic stone animal pound in Bradbury Mountain State Park, Pownal, Maine. Built in 1818, it is one of a modest number of these once-common structures left in the state. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Pownal Cattle Pound is located about 0.5 mi northeast of the center of Pownal, on the northwest side of Maine State Route 9. It is located in Bradbury Mountain State Park, which the road passes through, with the eponymous mountain rising north of the structure. The pound is a rectangular stone structure, built of dry-laid fieldstone, with an opening near the northeast corner. The walls currently vary between 4.5 ft and 5.5 ft in height, but were probably originally 6 ft in height; the difference is due in part to collapse, and in part to use of some of the stone in local road projects in the 1950s. As built, the walls were 4 ft thick at the base and 18 in thick at the top, and would have been topped by a timber beams. The opening was originally topped by a long granite lintel, which now lies on the ground inside the enclosure, and would have been closed off by an iron gate.</p><br>
<p>Since early colonial days, most New England communities used animal pounds as a means to pen in stray livestock until it could be recovered by its owner. The town of Pownal, incorporated in 1808, hired John Tyler to construct this pound for $50 in 1817; he completed it the following year. The land on which it was located belonged to the Cotton family, who owned Bradbury Mountain and the surrounding area, and whose house stood nearby until it burned down in 1929. Thomas Cotton was hired as the town&#39;s first poundkeeper. The pound was used until 1891, by which time changes in technology (mainly the advent of barbed wire) and a reduction in farming had rendered it obsolete. At the time of its National Register listing in 2004, it was one of about twenty such structures left in the state.</p><br>
<p>The Rietzer Grießkogel  is a mountain, and the highest peak in the Northern Sellrain Mountains, part of the Stubai Alps in the Austrian state of Tyrol. The summit is easily climbed on path no. 153. The first documented ascent was undertaken in 1829 by Innsbruck botanist, Andrä Sauter, a brother of Anton Sauter. As a result of its easy accessibility on well marked paths from Telfs in the Inn Valley and from the Sellrain Valley, it is a popular destination. Its name is derived from the village of Rietz at its northern foot in the district of Imst in the upper Inn valley.</p><br>
<h2>Location and surrounding area</h2><br>
<p>The Rietzer Grießkogel lies just under eight kilometres as the crow flies south of Telfs, 27 kilometres west of Innsbruck and five kilometres northwest of St. Sigmund im Sellrain. Its neighbouring summits are the Bachwandkopf (2,758 m) to the west, the Hocheder (2,798 m) to the northeast and the Schartenkogel (2,603 m) to the southeast. To the southwest the Rietzer Grießkogel drops into the Alpine pasture of Oberer Zirmbachalm (2,100 m) with gradients of 30 to 50°.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Geologically viewed, the Northern Sellrain Mountains belong to the Ötztal Gneiss, which forms the rocks here. Particularly strong elements of this rock are biotite-granite gneiss, a mixed crystal from the Annite-Phlogopite series. Because this rock is easily weathered and eroded, for example by frost weathering, the mountains in this region are less rugged and easier from climb from an alpinistic perspective.</p><br>
<h2>Bases and routes</h2><br>
<p>The Rietzer Grießkogel may be reached from the north from the Peter Anich Hut (1,909 m), which lies above Telfs to the south. Path no. 153 runs in a southerly direction initially over the Bachwandkopf peak, then along the west arête to the summit in, according to the literature, 3½ hours. From the south it takes about 4½ hours on the path from Kühtai or Haggen in the Sellrain valley along the Zirmbach stream and up the southwestern flank of the mountain. This ascent is also one of the most popular ski tours of the region. Another path runs from Flaurling via the Flaurlinger Alm from the east to the top.</p><br>
<p>American Radiator Company Factory Complex, also known as the Pierce Plant, American Radiator & Standard Sanitary Stamping Plant, Institute of Thermal Research, Equipment Plant, and Malleable Foundry, is a historic factory complex located in Buffalo, Erie County, New York. The complex was built between 1891 and 1959, originally by Pierce Steam Heating Company and expanded by its successor the American Radiator Company. It consists of three distinct sections: 1.) the Institute of Thermal Research , 2.) the Equipment Plant , and 3.) the Malleable Foundry . The Institute of Thermal Research section is an administrative / laboratory building that is a two-story brick building with a stone foundation and an “E”-shaped plan. The original section includes Prairie School design elements. Additions to the factory buildings were made in 1906 and 1910 by prominent Buffalo architect Edward Brodhead Green.</p><br>

<p>The James Mitchell School is a historic school building at 2410 South Battery Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. The oldest portion of the building is a four-room structure designed by Charles L. Thompson and built in 1908. It was enlarged several times, notably by Thompson in 1910 , and Thomas Harding, Jr. in 1915 , and 1952. Harding&#39;s addition gave the building its prominent Classical Revival entrance portico. The school property includes two outbuildings that also houses classrooms. The school was originally a segregated facility, serving only white students, but the end of segregation  transformed the school into one that served its predominantly black neighborhood. It was closed in 2005.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>The former Adams County Jail, also known as the House of History: Adams County Historical Society, is located in Corning, Iowa, United States. The limestone structure was built in 1877, and it mimicked the adjacent frame courthouse . The two-story rectangular building is a Vernacular style structure with Greek Revival influence. It is capped with a hipped roof and a flat crest. It served the county for the next 78 years as its jailhouse. The building also provided residential space on the lower level to the sheriff, or if he had his own house, to the jailer. The upper floor held the cells. The most notable event at the jail was the lynching of local farmer John W. McKenzie in 1887, who had shot his neighbor. The building was converted into apartments in 1955, and a museum in 1969. It listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Corning Opera House is a theater located in Corning, Iowa, United States. This was the third of three opera houses built in town. The other two were built in the 1880s, and this one was completed in 1902. It was the only opera house in Corning by 1907, and it served as a theater until 1934. From its opening in 1902 until 1921 it staged theatrical performances, and from about 1920 to 1931 it showed movies. It also staged vaudeville performances and high school productions. The theater was located on the second floor. It featured raked seating on the main floor and in the horseshoe-shaped balcony, and it had a small stage and specialized rooms backstage. Commercial space is located on the main floor of the building.</p><br>
<p>Since 1934 the second-floor opera house had been used for storage by the local newspaper. The western part of the building, the lobby and restroom area, was converted into apartments in 1943. The main floor in the opera house was leveled and marked for half-court basketball at some point. The building was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>A multi-year $3.5 million renovation was completed in 2012. At that time the opera house was restored to a performance venue. A grand opening was held April 5 and 6, 2012.</p><br>
<p>The Kirchdach, also Kirchdachspitze, is a mountain, in the Stubai Alps in Tyrol, Austria.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Kirchdach is the highest point on the Serleskamm ridge, which separates the valleys of Gschnitztal in the southeast from the Pinnistal and Stubaital in the northwest. It is situated between the high Ilmspitze to the southwest and the high Hammerspitze to the northeast.</p><br>
<h2>Ascent</h2><br>
<p>The Kirchdach may be ascended from the west from the alpine pasture of the Pinnisalm in the Pinnis valley along the Jubiläumssteig path in ca. 4 hours. From the Issenangeralm, also in the Pinnis valley, the Rohrauersteig path takes ca. 4 hours to the top approaching the summit from the north. From the Gschnitztal valley the Padasterjochhaus northeast of the Kirchdach acts as a base; from there it takes 2 hours to reach the top.</p><br>
<p>All the routes run from the saddle of Silbersattel along the north arête, which is exposed in places and secured, for the final 90 metres in height to the summit.</p><br>
<h2>Climbing</h2><br>
<p>A number of climbing routes have been opened up the wild north and northeast faces, all of which have rarely been repeated. A leading pioneer of these rock faces was Andreas Orgler in the 1980s. He also opened up many ice and mixed climbing routes.</p><br>

<p>The Sulzkogel is a mountain, in the Stubai Alps in the Austrian state of Tyrol.</p><br>
<h2>Topography</h2><br>
<p>The Sulzkogel lies about 3.5 kilometres south of the winter sports resort of Kühtai. To the west a sharp arête drops away from the summit of the Sulzkogel into the valley of Längental, separating the cirques of Mittagskar in the northwest and Stierkar in the south. To the northeast below the steep northeast face and east arête lies the Finstertal valley and the Finstertalspeicher, a reservoir belonging to the Sellrain-Silz Power Station. To the north along a sharp arête are the Mittagsturm pinnacle, the twin peaks of the Mittagsköpfe ( and ) and the Zwölferkogel. To the south is the Gamskogel. Between the Sulzkogel and the Gamskogel below a wide rocky ridge lies the Gamskogelferner, a glacier that descends to an elevation of.</p><br>
<h2>Paths</h2><br>
<p>The normal route, in winter a popular ski tour,</p><br>
<p>runs up the northern edge of the Gamskogelferner glacier and up the south ridge to the summit. The first ascent was made by Julius Pock and Bernhard Tütscher who, in 1878, selected the route up the southwest flank from the Stierkar cirque. The north arête of the col south of the Mittagsturm is significantly more difficult (climbing grade III+). Ascents are also possible along the east arête and along the ridge between the Sulzkogel and Gamskogel.</p><br>

<p>The Holden–Leonard Mill Complex, also known colloquially as the Big Mill, is a historic industrial complex at 160 Benmont Avenue in Bennington, Vermont. Built of many parts between about 1865 and 1925, it is one of the largest and most architecturally distinctive 19th-century mill complexes in the state, and was a major regional employer for many years. Now redeveloped into a variety of commercial and industrial uses, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Holden–Leonard Mill is located northwest of downtown Bennington, on the eastern bank of the Walloomsac River, bounded by Holden and Leonard Streets to the north and south, and Benmont Avenue to the east. The complex includes 28 buildings, many of them connected into a single large structure. The dominant feature of the complex is the so-called "Big Mill", also known as Building 5, which was the main structure built when the mill was founded in 1865. It is a large 4-1/2 story brick structure, 227 ft wide and 53 ft deep, with a six-stage tower projecting from its center. It is topped by an octagonal louvered belfry and concave flared roof. The buildings basement houses a part of the original penstock that was used to regulate the water that powered the mills machinery.</p><br>
<p>Textile development began in Bennington on an industrial scale after the railroad arrived in the early 1850s, with the production of knitwear. The Big Mill was built in 1865 by Seth Hunt and Philip Tillinghast. They produced paisley women&#39;s shawls, a product that turned out to not be popular. In 1875, the building was taken over by the Bennington Woolen Company, which produced material for overcoats. Under its aegis and that of successive owners, the plant was significantly enlarged. Its greatest period of growth followed the First World War, during which the facility produced large amounts of cloth for the war effort. By 1920 the Holden–Leonard Company was the largest employer in the region, with about 800 workers. The mill closed due to the effects of the Great Depression, and was operated for about 10 years for knit goods manufacturing. It has since seen a variety of smaller-scale uses.</p><br>
<p>The Auld-McCobb House is a historic double house on Oak Street in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. It is the town&#39;s oldest brick residence, built in 1807 for a pair of prominent local merchants. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Auld-McCobb House is set on a rise overlooking downtown Boothbay Harbor, near the center of a triangular block formed by Oak Street, McClintock Street, and Townsend Avenue. It is a large double-pile two story brick structure, with a hip roof and a rubblestone foundation. Its front facade faces roughly west, and is six bays wide. The bays are symmetrically arranged, with two entrances in the center bays, with simple surrounds. Ground-floor windows are twelve-over-twelve sash, and second-floor windows are twelve-over-eight sash, all set in rectangular openings with similar simple trim.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1807 for Jacob Auld and Joseph McCobb, two prominent local merchants. The two were engaged in a business partnership that included fishing, shipbuilding, and general mercantile pursuits, and were a dominant force in the local economy in the first quarter of the 19th century. McCobb married Aulds sister in 1807, and it is thought that this is what occasioned the houses construction. The builder is traditionally identified as John Leishman, Jr., although there is no significant documentation to substantiate this. The house is out of scale for other surviving construction of the period in the town, and the use of brick was also quite unusual.</p><br>
