<p>Galop Island is an uninhabited island in the Saint Lawrence River located in St. Lawrence County, northeast of Ogdensburg, New York.</p><br>
<p>Galop Island has historically been known by a variety of names, including Isle Aux Galloup, Gallou Island, Butternut Island, Dillingham Island, Dixon Island, Lalone Island, Lotus Island, Round Island, Sears Island, Tick Island, and Twin Island.</p><br>
<h2>Wildlife habitat</h2><br>
<p>The island contains a mixture of shrubs, open areas and mature forests. It is a known wintering area for bald eagles. A nearby area of the Saint Lawrence River, known as the Galop Island Pools, remains free of ice during the winter due to strong river currents and turbulence. The approximately 1,800 acre of open water is utilized by eagles and other migratory birds as a winter food source. The availability of open water during the winter is limited within the region; only three other areas within the Saint Lawrence River remain similarly free of ice.</p><br>
<p>Approximately 1,000 acre of shallow bays along the river channel south of the island include spawning habitat for muskellunge, causing the area to be a regionally important sport fishing destination. The large, protected, shallow bays with variable water velocities found offshore from Galop Island are rare within the region. The bays additionally support migratory waterfowl during the spring and fall, and additional fish species, including brown bullhead, smallmouth bass, and yellow perch, are abundant.</p><br>

<p>Netcott-Pfeiffer House is a historic building located in Parkersburg, Iowa, United States. The Italianate style double house was built in 1894 by George Netcott, Jr. and his son George A. Netcott. Harry E. Netcott, another of George Jr.s sons, is believed to have designed the house. George A. Netcott sold the house in 1896 to Gustavus A. Pfeiffer, a pharmacist, and his brother Paul, a local banker and land baron. The brothers, who were also humanitarians and philanthropists, lived here together with their families until Gustavus moved to St. Louis in 1901. Pauls daughter Pauline was a journalist and the second wife of Ernest Hemingway. She lived in the house from 1896 to 1901. The house is also associated with physicist Edwin Thompson Jaynes, who lived here from 1929 to 1942 with his mother after his father&#39;s death. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<p>The Pirchkogel  is a mountain, in the Stubai Alps in Tyrol. It is a good viewing mountain.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Pirchkogel rises north of Kühtai and the Dortmunder Hut immediately above the road over the Kühtai Saddle. Together with the rock faces of the Irzwänden to the east and the twin peaks of the Grießkogel (Vorderer and Hinterer Grießkogel ), its arêtes surround a plateau known as the Schwarzmoos ("Black Moss").</p><br>
<h2>Biology</h2><br>
<p>Here there are four little mountain lakes, including the Gossenköllesee at, up to which the ski region of Kühtai extends from the valley. Until 2014, the smallest Austrian UNESCO biosphere reserve (85 ha) was established in the area around the lakes where long term research into water ecology was carried out by the University of Innsbruck. Due to its small size and the fact that the authorities did not divide it into the core, buffer and development zones this region, one of the first biosphere reserves in Austria in 1977, did not fulfil the new criteria and the Austrian UNESCO Commission revoked its status. water monitoring and research, which had begun as early as 1933, continue however at the shoreside research station on the 9-metre-deep Gossenköllesee. Research is conducted into the changing growing conditions of the high alpine landscape as a consequence of the climatic changes of the last 800 years. The sediment tests also reflect the high eutrophication arising from intensive grazing of sheep and cattle near the lake beginning in the Middle Ages from 1670 (Schwaighof), the changing minerals on the lakebed indicate the stocking of trout (Salmo trutta morpho fario) since that time too.</p><br>
<h2>Ascent</h2><br>
<p>Several paths lead to the summit of the Pirchkogel: the path via the northwest ridge, also called the Schafjoch, can be reached from Silz via the Silzer Alm or from the Ochsengarten. From Stams a mountain path runs up the Schneetal valley northeast of the summit. The most popular and shortest route is the southeast path from Kühtai. All these routes are also popular ski tours in winter.</p><br>
<p>There is no summit cross on the Pirchkogel, only a signal post. The cross is a little lower down at Marlstein, where it may be seen from the west and north.</p><br>
<p>Fall Creek Lake  is a reservoir in Lane County, in the USA state of Oregon.</p><br>
<p>Fall Creek Dam, 205 ft high, impounds up to 125,000 acre.ft of water in the reservoir. The embankment dam is of the rockfill type with a gated concrete spillway and outlet controls for regulating lake levels. The lake includes two arms, one along the Fall Creek main stem and one along Winberry Creek, a tributary entering from the south.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Fall Creek Lake is one of 13 multi-purpose water projects managed by the United States Corps of Engineers in the Willamette Valley. The reservoir, completed in 1966, functions mainly to control downstream flooding on the Willamette River but is also heavily used for recreation when the lake is full. The Corps keeps water levels high—up to 161 ft— in the lake during the spring and early summer but draws them down by up to 100 ft below maximum in late summer through winter. This creates storage capacity for potential flood water in the rainy season. Mud flats that appear during the drawdown make recreational uses less feasible.</p><br>
<h2>Recreation</h2><br>
<p>In addition to a variety of campsites, amenities at the lake include picnic tables, boat ramps, swimming areas, toilets, and a fishing pier. Activities on the lake also include waterskiing and jet-skiing.</p><br>
<p>Winberry Creek Road runs along the Winberry arm and meets Lowell–Unity Road (Lowell–Jasper Road) near the covered bridge. Big Fall Creek Road and Peninsula Road branch off Winberry Creek Road and, along opposite shores, follow the Fall Creek arm upstream to the end of the lake. Each road leads to one or more of the many day-use sites and campgrounds around the lake. Forest Road 18 begins at the head of the lake and follows Fall Creek upstream for many miles to other campgrounds and hiking trails in the Cascade Range.</p><br>
<p>Charles Wolf House, also known as the Parkersburg Historical Home, is a historic building located in Parkersburg, Iowa, United States. Wolf was a native of Freeport, Illinois who moved to Parkersburg in 1875 after he, his father and brother-in-law bought the Exchange Bank. He had local architect Harry Netcott design this large Late Victorian style house, which was completed in 1895. The heavy frame structure is covered with a brick veneer. It features a three-story Châteauesque corner tower, a large projecting bay on both the north and south sides of the house, and a round-arch entryway. Gus Pfeiffer bought the house in 1926 following Mary Wolfs death and donated it to the city. It served a variety of purposes including an elementary school, church, community center, fraternal hall, and library. The building sat empty for three years when it became the home of the Parkersburg Historical Societys museum. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Carr House is a historic house located at 416 East Broadway in Monmouth, Illinois. The house was built in 1877, and local blacksmith John Carr and his family moved to the house three years later. In 1898, Carrs daughters hired contractor George B. Davis to extensively redesign the home, which originally had a Second Empire design. Davis design includes elements of the Classical Revival, Jacobethan, and Victorian Gothic styles and is the only high style eclectic home remaining in Monmouth. The roofs gables with parapets and stone string courses are a key Jacobethan element, while the houses porches and balconies have a Classical influence; the Victorian Gothic elements, such as dormers and window treatments, are less distinctive.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 11, 1988.</p><br>
<p>Bridge No. 90646, also known as the Wooddale Avenue Bridge, is a multi-plate steel arch bridge that carries a local street over Minnehaha Creek in Edina, Minnesota, United States. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in February 2016.</p><br>
<p>The bridge is 21 ft long, has a span length of 18 ft, and a width of 40.4 ft. It is faced with Platteville limestone. The area was originally part of the George W. Baird farm, but in the 1920s, much of the farmstead was sold off for development. In 1922 the Edina Country Club housing subdivision was platted, just north of the bridge and north of 50th Street. The Edina Country Club, west of the bridge, was opened in 1923, and other portions of Edina were being developed as well. As traffic increased, the original steel beam bridge was no longer sufficient to accommodate all the vehicles, so the city of Edina sought a replacement in 1937. On March 8, 1937, the Edina City Council accepted the proposal by Lyle Culvert & Pipe Company to build an Armco multi-plate arch bridge. The facing was proposed to be irregularly coursed boulder stone, designed in the rustic style. Construction began in May 1937, but in July 1937, the design of the stone facing was changed from boulder stone to limestone. This was done to harmonize with the limestone veneer on the nearby St. Stephen&#39;s Episcopal Church. The construction schedule did not appear to be set back. Construction was largely complete in August 1937, and a city newsletter published in September 1937 shows the completed bridge.</p><br>
<p>The multi-plate arch bridge design was introduced in 1931 by the Armco Culvert Manufacturer&#39;s Association. The plates are made of galvanized corrugated steel, manufactured in curved segments, and assembled on site to build an arch. The corrugations, about 6 in wide and 1.5 in deep, formed a very strong bridge. The multi-plate arch design was popular in the 1930s as an alternative to reinforced concrete slab-and-girder construction for bridges with a short span. The bridge could also be assembled by unskilled labor, and the stone masonry was labor-intensive, so the Works Progress Administration was able to employ a number of people in its construction. While many multi-plate arch bridges were built in Minnesota during the Great Depression, bridges of that type are increasingly rare. A 1988 survey found 35 surviving multi-plate arch bridges in the state, but in 2014, only eight of these bridges were left.</p><br>

<p>Pringle Falls is a series of rapids or drops on the upper Deschutes River in the USA state of Oregon. From just downstream of Wyeth Campground, the rapids begin with about 600 ft of whitewater rated class II  on the International Scale of River Difficulty. The next 300 ft is class III  drop. Soggy Sneakers: A Paddlers Guide to Oregons Rivers says, "Only expert kayakers should consider this drop, and only after scouting. It is definitely not a rapids for open canoes."</p><br>
<p>The Northwest Waterfall Survey describes the rapids as "the first major waterfall along the Deschutes River" but qualifies this by adding that the waterfall has been reported to be a cascade series with a total vertical drop of 25 ft spread over a horizontal distance of 850 ft. The survey notes that the falls cannot be seen from nearby roadways or other public property.</p><br>
<p>Most boaters portage 1.5 mi around the falls, taking out of the river at Wyeth Campground and putting back in below the falls at Pringle Falls Campground. Shorter portages are not feasible because the land on both sides of the rapids is private. The two campgrounds, one upstream and one downstream of the private land, are within the Deschutes National Forest.</p><br>
<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>The falls were named for O. M. Pringle, who bought 160 acre of government land here in 1902 under provisions of the Timber and Stone Act. The falls were also known as the Fish Trap, a reference to its use by Native Americans, who caught fish by the gills as they swam upriver through shallow channels. A post office named Pringlefalls operated from 1916 to 1918.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Simon Weldele was born in 1860 in nearby Buffalo Township and moved to Delano, a growing railroad town, in 1884, where he opened a saloon. This house, constructed in 1893, was the first in Delano to have a hot water heater. Weldele was remembered for being active in civic and church affairs.</p><br>
<p>The Harold Allan School is a historic school building at 15 Rebel Hill Road in Clifton, Maine. Built in 1863, it is the towns best-preserved surviving district-level one-room schoolhouse. It is now part of the local historical societys museum complex, which includes Cliffwood Hall, the town&#39;s former town hall. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Harold Allan School is located on the southwest side of Rebel Hill Road (Maine State Route 180), a short way south of its junction with Maine State Route 9. It stands next to Cliffwood Hall, also owned by the local historical society. It is a modest single-story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboard siding. A hip-roofed vestibule projects from the front, and a square hip-roofed addition extends to the side, fronted by a shed-roof vestibule. The building&#39;s modest decorative features include corner pilasters on the main block. The interior is mainly finished in fir flooring with beaded board wainscoting. The addition on the left retains evidence of its original use as a two-seat outhouse.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1863, and is the only significantly unaltered one-room schoolhouse left in the town. It was originally located on Route 9, about 1 mi east of the town line with Eddington, and was moved to its present location in 1912, a consequence of a decline in population and a shift in geographic demographics. By 1915 it was one of two schools left in the town, and it continued in that function until 1966, when the towns schools were consolidated into a multi-town district. The towns other school was sold into private hands and converted into a residence. This one remained vacant until 1985, when it was adapted for use as town offices and the local library. It was acquired by the local historical society in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The Jacob Randall House is a historic house on Lawrence Road in Pownal, Maine. Built about 1800, it is a fine local example of Federal period architecture executed in brick. It was built for a prominent local citizen. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Jacob Randall House stands in rural northern Pownal, on the west side of Lawrence Road, the principal north-south road leading from Pownal toward Lewiston. It is a 2-1/2 story brick structure, with a side gable roof, two internal chimneys, and a granite foundation. Its main facade is five bays wide, with its entrance in the central bay, recessed with a fanlight. The sides are two bays wide, and there is a single-story addition extending to the left side of later construction.</p><br>
<p>In 1796, Jacob Randall, a native of Weymouth, Massachusetts, purchased over 100 acre of land here, and had this house built. His property spanned the nearby Chandler River, which he dammed around 1800, establishing a sawmill and gristmill.

<p>Queensbury Quaker Burying Ground, also known as the Queensbury Friends Cemetery and Old Quaker Cemetery, is a historic Quaker burying ground located near Queensbury in Warren County, New York. It was established about 1765 and remained in service until 1837.</p><br>
<p>This cemetery was the first in Queensbury.</p><br>
<p>A commemorative marker was installed in 1911 by the Wing family to honor that family’s role in the settlement of Queensbury. The burial ground contains approximately 80 burials.</p><br>
<p>The site was the location of a Quaker Meeting House and school, as well as cemetery. Today the site is a fenced patch of grassy ground next to a shopping center, marked by two plaques. The cemetery has no gravestones, in keeping with Quaker tradition of the time. In 2002, during planning for the shopping center, an archaeological survey was conducted. The burials were discovered, and the land deeded to Queensbury in perpetuity.</p><br>
<p>The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The Holden–Leonard Workers Housing Historic District encompasses a collection of mill-related tenement houses, plus a former mill store, in Bennington, Vermont. They are located on Benmont and Holden Avenues, near the former Holden–Leonard Mill Complex, Bennington&#39;s largest employer in the late 19th century. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</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. Extending south from the mill on Benmont Avenue are a series of duplexes and tenement-style multiunit residential buildings. There are eleven buildings fronting on Benmont Avenue, and two that face Holden Street. All are 1-1/2 to three stories in height, and all but one are wood frame structures with modest vernacular interpretations of architectural styles popular at the time of their construction. The one exception is the brick building at 121 Benmont Avenue, a brick structure originally built as the mill company store; it has exuberant Italianate styling reminiscent of that found on the main mill&#39;s buildings of the 1860s.</p><br>
<p>The complex now known as the Holden–Leonard Mill was established in 1865, with the construction of its central "Big Mill" by what was then called the Bennington Manufacturing Company. Between then and 1875, that company built most of the housing in this district to provide homes for some of its workers, as well as the company store, whose upper floors were eventually also converted into tenement-style living spaces. The two duplexes at 124-126 and 128-130 Benmont were both built about 1900, and were built to match in style the earlier housing on the street.</p><br>

<p>The Muttekopf  is a lookout mountain in the Lechtal Alps in the Austrian state of Tyrol. It lies northwest of Imst and immediately south of the Hahntennjoch saddle.</p><br>
<p>The path runs from Imst along a road or through the narrow Rosengarten Gorge to Hochimst. From there it takes about 2 hours on a footpath to reach the Muttekopf Hut. Alternatively a chair lift may be taken to the top station of the Untermarkt Chairlift and from there in about half an hour to the managed hut which is at roughly the same altitude.</p><br>
<p>From the hut the route follows a steep path, that is unattractive for an Alpine trail, up to the Muttekopfscharte col and from there gently climbs up to the Muttekopf, taking 2 to 3 hours from the hut. In dry weather this can be walked without difficulties and is apparently suitable for children.</p><br>
<p>Another ascent starts at the Pfafflar and runs through the Fundaistal and up the Kübelwände to the summit.</p><br>
<p>The crossing to the Hanauer Hut also runs via the Muttekopfscharte col. It is not difficult in dry weather, but it is long.</p><br>
<p>Geologically the Muttekopf is characterised by conglomerate rocks of the Gosau Group.</p><br>

<p>The Jenks Tavern, also known historically as the East Rupert Hotel and the Hotel G. Jenks, is a historic public accommodations house at the junction of West Dorset Road with Vermont Routes 315 and 30 in Rupert, Vermont. Built about 1807, it is a well-preserved example of an early 19th-century traveler&#39;s accommondation in southern Vermont. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. The building is now a private residence.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Jenks Tavern is located in the village of East Rupert, overlooking the Mettawee River not far from the town line with Dorset. The tavern stands on a roughly 1 acre parcel bounded on the north by Rupert Mountain Road (Vermont Route 315), the east by Vermont Route 30, and the west by West Dorset Road. The building is oriented facing west. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof, clapboard siding, and a stone foundation. A single-story ell extends to the rear (toward Route 30). The main facade is covered by a two-story porch, and is five bays wide with doors at the center of each level. Windows are double-hung sash throughout, with a pair of windows in the gables at the sides. The interior follows a typical center hall plan, with a large sprung floor ballroom on the attic level.</p><br>
<p>The tavern was built about 1807 by James Moore, Jr., and was originally attached to an older tavern building that has since been torn down. His purchase and construction were occasioned by the completion of the Rupert Turnpike (now roughly Vermont 315), which connected Pawlet, Vermont and Salem, New York. It was also originally attached to a barn, which was demolished in 1948 when Route 30 was realigned. The building was regularly (but not continuously) in use as a traveler&#39;s accommodation, and was widely known in the region for the high quality of the dance floor in its ballroom. This type of tavern was once common in southwestern Vermont, but this is now one of a few little-altered examples to survive. It has been either vacant or a private residence since the 1930s.</p><br>
<p>As of April, 2016, the property is for sale; contact for details.</p><br>

<p>Johnny Seesaws is a historic country lodge on Vermont Route 11, near the Bromley Mountain Ski Area in Peru, Vermont. Established in 1924, the lodge was an influential component of the early success of downhill skiing in southwestern Vermont, and is the place where events leading to the founding of both the National Ski Patrol and the United States Armys 10th Mountain Division took place. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. It is a full-service facility, offering accommodations, meals, and activities in all seasons.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Johnny Seesaws is located in the Green Mountains of northeastern Bennington County, a short way east of the Bromley Mountain Ski Area, on the north side of Vermont Route 11. The main building is a 1-1/2 saddle-notched log structure with a broad gabled roof, with a shed-roofed wing to one side and a frame addition to the rear. Principal features of the front are a large fieldstone chimney, and a single-story porch extending across the front and around to the left side. Attached to one of the rear corners is the home of the lodges builder, Ivan Sesow, which is now called the Annex. The property includes a number of guest cabins in a variety of styles; the most distinctive is a c. 1954 cabin done in the "butterfly" style promoted by architect Marcel Breuer.</p><br>
<p>The property has a documented history as an inn dating back to 1835, when Benamin Barnard, Jr. established an inn and tavern at this location. In 1924, John Ivan Sesow, a Russian immigrant who worked in the area&#39;s declining lumber industry, purchased the property and built the lodge as a dance hall and entertainment venue. Its design is supposedly based on that of the Russian izba, and was built over three years by Sesow and friends from the lumber camps, using only hand tools.</p><br>
<p>Sesows Pavilion did well until Prohibition came to an end, and the Great Depression set in. The Sesows abandoned it in 1932, and the property was foreclosed the following year. In 1938, it was purchased by Lew deSchweinitz and Bill and Mary Parrish, who turned it into ski lodge, serving the recently established Bromley Mountain ski area. It was called "Johnny Seesaws" in honor of its builder. They built a bunkhouse, and made other additions and alterations over the years.</p><br>
<p>Johnny Seesaws was visited in its first year by Charles "Minnie" Dole, the founder of the National Ski Patrol, and hosted celebrities such as aviator Charles Lindbergh and future United States President Gerald Ford. Doles activities, in addition to founding the ski patrol, included aggressively promoting the development of a military unit specializing in mountain and winter warfare, which eventually became the 10th Mountain Division.</p><br>
<p>Mesta is a Greek traditional village in Chios. It belongs to Mastic Villages a group of villages in South Chios where the main activity is the agriculture of mastic. The mastic villages have added in representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity of UNESCO. Mesta is characterised by particular architecture since it is a village-castle with perfectly preserved medieval architecture. Mesta is located 35 km south west of Chios , 4 km away from coast. It is built at a height of 120m and it belongs to Chios municipality and Mastichochoria municipal unit. It is also a community that comprises the village Limenas where the port of south west Chios is located.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The village was probably built in the 12th century during Byzantine era. The architecture of settlement with the narrow streets and the perimetric fortification served to repel the pirate raids. The street plan of the village is pentagonical and the many narrow roads inside the fortification give the impression of a labyrinth. The fortification reinforced during Genova era in Chios, between 1346 and 1566. In 1794 the church of the Older Taxiarchi that is located in the centre of the village was built. A lot of villagers of Mesta died and other captured during Chios massacre. Some of them were released after a while because the mastic agriculture was important for Ottomans.</p><br>

The International style is found in the variety of lines, textures, and forms that are typical of the style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>The Hochwildstelle or Hohe Wildstelle is a mountain, and the second highest peak in the Schladming Tauern as well as the highest mountain entirely on Styrian territory in Austria. Its summit is near the tripoint of the three municipalities of Aich, Michaelerberg-Pruggern and Schladming.</p><br>
<p>The step-like summit block with its mighty rock faces dominates the edge of the mountain range along the Enns Valley, before the range climbs even higher still to the summit of the Hochgolling on the main chain of the Alps.</p><br>
<p>The knife-edged south arête drops away, immediately south of the summit cross, down to the col of Wildlochscharte and then climbs again to the summit of the Himmelreich, before dropping into the valley and the Preintaler Hut from the peak of Schneiders.</p><br>
<p>The ridgeline, which is relatively sharp for a crystalline mountain range runs roughly north to south. The region is very well watered. Even in the vicinity of the very high massif there are several mountain lakes and two large waterfalls.</p><br>
<p>Two waymarked routes run up the Hochwildstelle:</p><br>
<p>From the col of Neualmscharte (2,347 m) via the Kleine Wildstelle and the northwest arête taking 1 hour, UIAA grade I. The Neualmscharte may be reached from either the Hans Wödl Hut or the Preintaler Hut on marked footpaths in about 2 – 3 hours.</p><br>
<p>From the col of Wildlochscharte (2,488 m) via the south arête in 1 hour, UIAA grade I. The Wildlochscharte may be reached on signed paths in 2 hours from the Preintaler Hut or the Breitlahn Hut (1,100 m).</p><br>

<p>The Lu Verne City Jail, also known as the Old Calaboose, is a historic building located in Lu Verne, Iowa, United States. The city built its first jail in 1899. On May 6, 1912 they decided to build the current structure at the same location. They sold the old building, and C. Black completed the new 14 by structure for $181.15. The single-story building is composed of concrete blocks that were cast to resemble cut stone. E.T. Barnum Ironworks of Detroit, Michigan provided the parts for the cells. The jail housed short-term offenders, usually those who were inebriated, committed petty crimes, and later hobos. The building also housed the fire department&#39;s hose cart. It served as a jail until 1934 when a new city hall was built. The jail cells were moved there at that time, and this building housed a welding shop sometime after that. The jail cells were returned to this building in 1975, and it is maintained by the Lu Verne Historical Society. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Creston Municipal Complex, also known as the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad-Creston Station is an historic building located in Creston, Iowa, United States. It was built as a train station by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad  in 1899 for $75,000. The Chicago architectural firm of Burnham and Root, who designed many of the CB&Qs stations, designed this station as well. Creston was a division headquarters, therefore all of the railroads business in southwest Iowa operated from here. It also housed the office of the Master Carpenter, who oversaw all section and bridge work for the division, and the office of the trainmaster, who oversaw the switching and forming of trains in the Creston yards. In addition to the CB&Q mainline, two branch lines originated from here, and another railroad operated from the depot as well. Amtrak&#39;s California Zephyr still serves Creston at a smaller, 1969-built depot.</p><br>
<p>After its use as a rail depot the building was converted into the Creston Municipal Complex. It houses various community rooms on the first floor and city government on the second floor. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>The Iowana Hotel, now known simply as The Iowana, is a historic building located in Creston, Iowa, United States. Because Creston was on the mainline of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, and it was a divisional headquarters, it received a steady flow of visitors. Hotels that featured fireproof construction and modern amenities, such as this one, started to enter Iowas secondary markets in the 1910s and 1920s. A group of local businessmen formed the Hotel Investment Company, and built the hotel. They hired the Chicago architectural firm H.L. Stevens & Company, known for its hotels, to design and build the Iowana. The building was constructed from 1919 to 1920. It served as Crestons primary hotel until about 1958 when more convenient and economical motels were built along the highway. By this time rail travel was declining and highway travel was increasing. The Hotel Investment Company sold the building in 1971. It continued in operation under various owners into the 1980s. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. It stood vacant for several years until it was transformed into an apartment building.</p><br>
<p>The six-story brick building measures 80 by. A 40 by annex is located to the west. The upper floors are set back in the rear and form an L-shape. Over-all, the Early Commercial style structure is plain in appearance. The decorative details are found in the wide first floor windows of the commercial space that feature elliptical arches with cast stone spring blocks and keystones. Another decorative feature is found at the top of the building where a modified entablature incorporates the brick-framed windows and the stucco panels between them into the architrave. Above it is a simple brick wall that acts as a frieze and a cast stone cornice above it.</p><br>
<p>The Sherrard Banking Company is a historic bank located at 314 Third Street in the village of Sherrard, Illinois. David Sherrard had the bank built in 1896, two years after he founded the village. The two-story brick building has a Late Victorian commercial design. The main entrance is at the front corner of the building; a pyramidal tower projects from the steep roof above the entrance. The building&#39;s decorations includes an arched entrance and stone window sills and lintels; its relative lack of ornamentation signifies the shift away from the elaborate features widely used earlier in the Victorian period.
