<p>Ayr Lake is a land-locked freshwater fjord on Baffin Island&#39;s northeastern coast in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut, Canada. The Inuit settlement of Pond Inlet is 360 km to the northwest and Clyde River is 35 km to the east.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Ayr Lake is located east of the Sam Ford and Eglinton fjords. It stretches roughly from NE to SW for about 60 km. The Kogalu River flows out of the northern end of the lake and discharges its waters in the Baffin Bay a further 40 km to the NE.</p><br>
<p>There are spectacular landscapes in Ayr Lake, with massive nearly 1,400 m high summits rising their ramparts close to the shore, especially in its central part. In the inner area the Ayr Pass connects with the Eglinton Fiord to the west.</p><br>
<p>The Huston House is a historic house at 220 Bristol Road  in Damariscotta, Maine. Built in 1853, it is a rare statewide example of a large Greek Revival house with a longitudinal temple front. It now serves as home to the Down Easter Inn, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Huston House is located south of downtown Damariscotta, on the east side of Bristol Road, just south of Huston Cove Road. It is a large 2-1/2 story timber frame structure, with a side gable roof that extends beyond the west-facing front facade to form the temple portico. It is supported by large fluted composite order columns, which rise to an entablature with recessed panels extending around the sides. The ground floor windows are topped by cornices with dentil moulding. The interior of the house retains original woodwork and marble fireplace mantels.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1853 by James Gilmore Huston, whose ancestry included one of the first settlers on the Bristol peninsula. Huston was a prominent local businessman, operating a sawmill, brickyard, and shipping-related businesses, either on his extensive property surrounding this area, or in downtown Damariscotta. Design of the house has been ascribed to Peabody Simmons, a native of Union who had studied architecture in Bangor.</p><br>
<p>The Rural Otter Creek Valley Historic District encompasses a rural agricultural area of southern Wallingford, Vermont. It includes nine past and present farmsteads along a stretch of United States Route 7 in the Otter Creek valley, with an agricultural history dating to the early decades of the 19th century. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Otter Creek valley south of Wallingford center was first settled in the late 18th century, with the first bridge crossing the creek built in 1783. Its most prominent early landowners were Israel and Isaac Munson, the former a wealthy doctor and merchant. Israel Munson first purchased land in the valley in 1814 for his younger brother Isaac, and their sister married Joel Hill, a Wallingford merchant. The surviving brick houses of Isaac Munson and Joel Hill are among the most imposing of the farmhouses in the valley. The wealth of Munsons in particular brought about a high quality of architectural work in the valley. One house, built for Isaac Bradley Munson, was (prior to its destruction by fire in 1980) one of the only known works of Asher Benjamin in the entire state.</p><br>
<p>The historic district extends roughly from the crossing of Otter Creek by US 7 in the north, to a point where the road again passes close to the creek several miles to the south. It is bounded on the east by the creek, and the west by a line about 500 ft west of US 7. It covers about 110 acre, mostly of lands that are presently or historically in agricultural use. Included in this area are nine farmsteads, five of which were directly associated with members of the extended Munson family. All have farmhouses built between 1800 and 1850, with a collection of associated farm outbuildings, many of which are also 19th-century in origin. Two of the houses are brick, including that of Isaac Munson; the others are wood frame structures.</p><br>
<p>The Lowney Chocolate Factory is a historic industrial complex at 150 Oakland Street in Mansfield, Massachusetts. Developed beginning in 1903, the complex was used until 2010 by a variety of primarily corporate owners for the manufacture and processing of chocolate products, most recently Archer Daniels Midland. The complex, vacant in 2016, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016 as an important local employer, and a good local example of Late Victorian industrial architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Lowney Chocolate Company plant stands on the north side of Mansfield Center, between Oakland Street and the Providence/Stoughton Line railroad tracks. The complex contains seven buildings on 14 acre, ranging in construction date from 1903 to 1995. The centerpiece of the complex is Building 1, a five story brick building with centrally placed seven-story tower. Windows are set in segmented-arch openings separated by brick piers, with granite sills, and some openings now filled in with panels. The tower, three bays wide and one deep, has round-arch windows at the top level, and elaborate brick corbelling below the eave of the flared hip roof.</p><br>
<p>The Walter M. Lowney Company was a chocolate and candy business founded in Boston in the early 1880s by Walter M. Lowney, a native of Bangor, Maine. Lowneys business was a great success, and experienced rapid growth over the next fifteen years, repeatedly expanding its presence in Bostons Commercial Street area. The availability of ready railroad access to this property in Mansfield prompted its selection for a major expansion, and the Lowney Chocolate Company was formed as a subsidiary to manage all of the chocolate production for both the Walter M. Lowney Company and wholesale customers. Lowney himself moved to Mansfield, where he was a prominent citizen until his death 1921. The company went through a series of corporate owners, who continued to use and develop the facility. It was closed in 2010 by Archer Daniels Midland.</p><br>
<p>Central Wharf is a historic pier in Boston, Massachusetts. Built in 1815–1816 between Long Wharf and India Wharf, it originally extended from India Street nearly a quarter-mile into Boston Harbor. Today, the much-shortened wharf  serves as the home of the New England Aquarium.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Central Wharf was conceived in the aftermath of the War of 1812, when the restoration and expansion of trade created a need to renovate the Boston waterfront and expand the town&#39;s shipping capacity. The project was organized by Ebenezer Francis and was primarily financed by several of the same men who had previously built or invested in India Wharf, namely Uriah Cotting, Harrison Gray Otis, James Lloyd, Jr. and Francis Cabot Lowell. Construction of the wharf began on around April 17, 1815, with the store roofs being covered before the end of the following year, and full occupancy was achieved by the beginning of April 1817.</p><br>
<p>Upon its completion, Central Wharf featured a row of fifty-four warehouses built in the Federal style, with each one measuring four stories in height and three window bays in width. In total, the wharf was one of the towns largest at 1,240 feet long and 150 feet wide, and one contemporary observer noted that "the completion of this undertaking, unparalleled in commercial History, is a proof of the enterprize, the wealth, and persevering industry of Bostonians." Over the next several decades it assumed a prominent position in the towns seaport, becoming the place of business for several eminent merchants and serving as the center of Boston&#39;s large Mediterranean trade.</p><br>
<p>Only a small portion of Central Wharf exists today, with the majority of the site having been demolished in stages over the course of the late nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries. The length of the pier was considerably reduced in ca. 1868 due to land reclamation undertaken for the construction of Atlantic Avenue, which ran through the middle of the wharf, and most of the warehouses were torn down in the 1950s-1970s to make way for several projects, including the building of the Central Artery and the New England Aquarium. The aquarium has since become a major feature on the remaining area of the wharf, having operated there since its opening in 1969.</p><br>
<p>Of the original warehouses built on Central Wharf, the westernmost eight (at 146-176 Milk Street) have survived into the twenty-first century, although their facades have undergone varying degrees of alteration from their original appearance. These buildings, which form the last surviving Federal-style wharf complex in the city, were added as part of the Custom House District to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>

<p>The K. J. Taralseth Company was a prominent retail business in Warren, Minnesota, United States, in operation 1888–1959. The original building it occupied burned down in 1910, so the owners commissioned a new building the following year which is still standing. Both facilities contained the department store as well as space for other tenants—including a Masonic temple—and hosted numerous community events. The 1911 building in which the K. J. Taralseth Company was housed for almost half a century was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002 for having local significance in the theme of commerce. It was nominated for representing a business and a venue that served a central role in the life of the community.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>On May 31, 1882, Knud J. Taralseth opened a general store in a false-front frame building on Main Street in Warren. Taralseth, a Norwegian immigrant, had spent ten years in the United States before arriving in Warren. He worked as a carpenter for railroads in Red Wing and Minneapolis.</p><br>
<p>Taralseth entered business by purchasing a half interest in a small store in Osakis, Minnesota, in 1878. He moved with his family to Warren in 1882 and began a mercantile business. In 1888 Warren&#39;s growing population prompted Taralseth to move the business to another location in town. He purchased property on the corner of Main Street and Johnson Avenue and erected the first two-story building in the city. The new brick-veneered building not only accommodated merchandise but also housed the Warren Masonic Lodge and the post office.</p><br>
<p>In the late nineteenth century the Taralseth Store offered items such as dry goods, clothing, hats, shoes, and groceries, and was organized as a department store. People regarded it as the finest general store on the Great Northern road between Crookston and Winnipeg. By 1904, Taralseths store had been incorporated as the K. J. Taralseth Company. Taralseths sons, Ralph and Olaf, served on the board and as managers. One year later, K.J. Taralseth died at the age of fifty-six. It was then that Ralph came forward to lead the family business.</p><br>
<p>Disaster struck the store on October 24, 1910, when a fire swept through the Taralseth Building. The fire, which began in the basement, destroyed the building and most of the merchandise inside. The financial loss was estimated at $125,000. It was the biggest loss in the history of Warren. Immediately after the fire, the Taralseth family decided to rebuild the store. During the interim, they sold merchandise in several locations throughout town.</p><br>
<p>On October 12, 1911, the new two-story brick Taralseth building opened its doors. The establishment employed a sales team of about fifteen people and offered a variety of adult and children&#39;s clothing, groceries, and hardware. In an effort to attract customers and challenge the competition, store managers changed the display windows weekly. Furthermore the Taralseths relied heavily on advertising through mailings and advertisements in newspapers. The local newspaper Warren Sheaf boasted that the store was the equal of any in the Twin Cities.</p><br>
<p>The Taralseths&#39; store was not the only entity the building was known for. As one of the largest, most significant buildings of the town, it housed several other businesses and offices. Local officials and businessmen had offices in the building. The Warren Commercial Club and the local Masonic lodge held suites as well. The building hosted many social events. The Masonic lodge upstairs held dances for the young people of the area. The holiday season provided special events for children. The basement of the building was converted into a toy emporium during Christmas time. Store employees were known to dress as Santa Claus and distribute treats to the youngsters.</p><br>
<p>In addition to owning the premier mercantile establishment in Warren, the Taralseths were also active civically. Knud helped establish school districts and served on a board of education. Ralph served as both mayor and fire chief for many years.</p><br>
<p>In 1938 larger stores began competing with the Taralseth store and sales steadily declined for two decades. In 1959 the Taralseths sold their business. Afterward the building housed apartments and small businesses until it was abandoned in the mid 1970s. In 2001 a rehabilitation project began, and the building was once again converted to apartments with business suites on the lower level.</p><br>
<p>Rode Fjord  is a fjord in King Christian X Land, eastern Greenland.</p><br>
<p>The Rode Fjord is part of the Scoresby Sound complex in the area of Sermersooq municipality.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The 5 km to 11 km wide Rode Fjord is located in the inner Scoresby Sound. At its southern end the fjord is a northerly continuation of the Fonfjord. On the western shore, near the confluence, the Rolige Brae glacier flows into the fjord and a little further south the Vestfjord branches off to the west. There is a small island in the area named Rode Island (Røde Ø).</p><br>
<p>At the northern end the Rode Fjord is a southern offshoot of the Ofjord. From the confluence of the Ofjord, the Hare Fjord runs in a westerly direction and the Rype Fjord branches to the northwest while the wider Rode Fiord branches to the southwest off the western shore of Storo Island for about 50 km. This fjord separates the larger island of Milne Land from the mainland coast in the west. The Snesund is a shorter fjord branching off in a northeasterly direction about halfway through the Rode Fjord separating Storo and Sorte Island from Milne Land.</p><br>
<p>Rype Fjord  is a fjord in King Christian X Land, eastern Greenland.</p><br>
<p>This fjord is part of the Scoresby Sound system in the area of Sermersooq municipality.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The 2.5 km to 5 km wide and roughly 30 km long Rype Fjord is located in the inner Scoresby Sound.</p><br>
<p>This fjord is an offshoot of the Ofjord (Øfjord). At the confluence the Rype Fjord branches to the northwest off the northern shore of the Ofjord, while the Hare Fjord runs in a westerly direction and the Rode Fjord branches towards the south. The Eielson Glacier is at the fjord&#39;s head flowing from the west. The glacier tongue is about 25 kilometers NW of the mouth of the fjord.</p><br>
<p>The fjord is only 2.9 km wide at the mouth, becoming broader towards the north until reaching a width of over 5 km.</p><br>
<p>To the northeast the fjord is bound by Renland and to the west by Grabenland where there is a summit reaching a height of 1,877.5 m above the glacier.</p><br>
<p>Pinal Peak, located in southern Gila County, Arizona, is the highest point in the Pinal Mountains, with an elevation of 7,848 ft. It is the highest point of land located in between the Salt and Gila rivers in Arizona before they merge, making it visible from miles away on a clear day. The peak ranks as the 11th most prominent in Arizona and has an topographic isolation of 35 mi, with the nearest point of land of equal or greater elevation being to the southeast in the Santa Teresa Mountains. Pinal Peak is slightly east of the approximate center of the Pinal Mountains. Despite being the most prominent peak in Gila County, it is not the highest point in the county. That title goes to Myrtle Point with an elevation between 7,963 and, which lies atop the edge of the Mogollon Rim which forms the county line with Coconino County. The nearest population is in the Globe/Miami, Arizona area, just a few miles north of the range and peak.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The areas around the Pinal Mountains has been populated by Native Americans since the 12th century, and were an important resource for them. The Besh-Ba-Gowah ruins are located in the foothills of the Pinal Mountains. In the late 17th century the mountains were scouted by Spanish explorers who gave it its modern name. They translated the native Apache and Yavapai terms for the mountains as "Pinal" or Pine Mountains. Later still, in the mid-19th century, the USA Army scouted the mountains, and used Signal Peak as a heliograph station, which is how that peak got its name. Today there are radio masts and towers on both Pinal and Signal Peaks.</p><br>
<h2>Recreation</h2><br>
<p>Several maintained dirt roads lead to the peak, and at least two of eight hiking trails in the mountains connect to the summit. The Upper Pinal Campground, located on the shallow saddle between Pinal and Signal Peaks, is open from May to November. The United States Forest Service maintains the recreational facilities in the mountains, which are inside the Tonto National Forest.</p><br>
<p>The Megunticook Golf Club is a private recreational club at 212 Calderwood Lane in Rockport, Maine. Its principal features are a Craftsman-style clubhouse and a nine-hole golf course, designed in 1912 by Warren H. Manning. The club was organized in 1899, and is one of the states oldest recreational clubs, and is home to the states oldest surviving private golf course. Its facilities were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993 .</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Megunticook Golf Club is located on the east side of the Beachamp Point peninsula, which separates Rockport Harbor from Penobscot Bay. The 66 acre property consists of undulating terrain, with views of the harbor and bay, particularly from the clubhouse, which is set on one of its high points. The clubhouse is a roughly rectangular single-story building with a broad wraparound porch, rubblestone foundation, and stained shingled exterior. Its interior includes a reading room, main club hall, and ladies&#39; parlor. It is located near the center of the nine-hole golf course, which extends west beyond Beachamp Street.</p><br>
<p>The club was organized in 1899 and formally incorporated in 1901. The clubhouse was designed by Boston architect Charles Brigham, and opened in 1902, along with the golf course. Early design work on the golf course was done by George Ingraham, a local landscape contractor. The course&#39;s present configuration is largely influenced by additional design work performed in 1912 by Warren Manning and in 1915 by Albert Davis Taylor, who had worked with Manning until 1914.</p><br>
<p>The Colburn School is a historic schoolhouse on Arnold Road in Pittston, Maine. With an estimated construction date of 1815, this brick schoolhouse is the best-preserved of the town&#39;s 19th-century district schools, and served for a time as the town hall. Now a local historical society museum, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Colburn School is located in southern Pittston, just south of Riverview Cemetery on Arnold Road, an old alignment of nearby Maine State Route 27. It is a single-story brick building, with a gabled roof and a short wood-frame ell extending to its rear. A short gable end faces the street, with a single sash window, while the south facade has the entrance on the left and three sash windows to its right, with rough-cut granite sills and lintels. The ell houses two pit toilets and a wood storage area.</p><br>
<p>The school is believed to have been built in 1815, the year in which the town established ten school districts. The school was built on land donated by Samuel Oakman as his contribution to the construction costs. The building was used as a school until 1964, and between 1973 and 1985 it was used to house town offices. It has been owned since then by the local historical society, which uses it for meetings and other events. Events are sometimes coordinated with the Arnold Expedition Historical Society, which cares for the nearby Colburn House State Historic Site.</p><br>
<p>The Rutland Courthouse Historic District encompasses an architecturally cohesive area of civic and residential buildings in Rutland, Vermont. Roughly bounded by Court, Washington, South Main, and West Streets, the district was principally developed between 1850 and 1875, and includes a number of prominent municipal and county buildings, including the Rutland County courthouse, the Rutland Free Library, and the Grace Congregational United Church. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Rutland Courthouse district is a residential and civic area that contains a number of important local civic and governmental functions, as well as a small neighborhood of fashionable 19th-century housing. The district&#39;s eastern bound is South Main Street (United States Routes 7 and 4), between West and Washington Streets, an area which includes two parks and the Chaffee Art Center, set in an 1892 Queen Anne Victorian. The southern boundary is Washington Street, extending from South Main to Prospect Street. This area includes a number of handsomely landscaped Italianate houses, built during a construction boom between 1850 and 1875, occasioned by the arrival of railroads and an expansion in the important marble processing industry.</p><br>
<p>The western boundary is Court Street between Washington and West Streets. The junction of Court and Center Streets is home to the Rutland County Courthouse, an elaborate Italianate brick building constructed in 1869, after the countys first courthouse burned down. Across Court Street stands the Rutland Free Library, which was built in 1856-58 as a federal building and post office, and was the first major building constructed in the district. It is also an elaborate Italianate design, credited to Ammi B. Young. The districts northern boundary is West Street, the main westbound thoroughfare from Rutland&#39;s downtown area, between Main and Elm Streets.</p><br>
<p>The First Baptist Church of Northborough is a historic former church building at 52 Main Street. It is presently home to the Northborough Historical Society offices and museum. Built in 1860, it is a good local example of religious Italianate architecture, despite having lost its tower in the New England Hurricane of 1938. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former First Baptist Church stands in Northboroughs town center, at the southeast corner of Main and School Streets. It is a 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboard siding. The buildings corners are quoined, and an entablature encircles the building below the gables. Its front facade is three bays wide, the center one projecting forward and upward into the pedimented gable. The flanking bays have narrow round-arch windows, with a similar one above the recessed entry in the projecting central section. The sides are also three bays, with long rectangular sash windows.</p><br>
<p>The church was built in 1860 for a Baptist congregation formed in 1827. It was their second sanctuary, the congregation having outgrown the first, this building was constructed on the site of the first one. A series of horse sheds were added at the rear in 1837, and were later adapted to house automobiles. The church&#39;s original steeple was blown off by the New England Hurricane of 1938, and was not rebuilt. The congregation having declined in size, it merged in 1948 with an Evangelical congregation to form Trinity Chapel. This building was put up for sale by the congregation in 1959, and was acquired by the historical society the following year.</p><br>
<p>The Smith–Johnson House, also known as The Old Brick, is a historic residence located in Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. It was built for William T. Smith in 1853, the same year he was elected as the first mayor of Oskaloosa. A lawyer, Smith was a native of Pennsylvania who settled in the town in 1848 and became county attorney the same year. In addition to his political and legal responsibilities he founded the first bank in town, and he was involved with other profitable financial ventures. He lived in the house until 1865 when Abijah Johnson, a Quaker merchant who moved to Oskaloosa to be a part of the flourishing Quaker communities here and in the surrounding areas. His son J. Kelly Johnson, an attorney who served in the Iowa Senate, took over the house after his father&#39;s death in 1894.</p><br>
<p>The house follows no particular architectural style, but is an unusual expression of vernacular architecture.</p><br>
<p>North Skunk River Bridge is located northeast of New Sharon, Iowa, United States. It carries traffic on County Road G13 over the North Skunk River for 202 ft. The Mahaska and the Poweshiek County Boards of Supervisors met in New Sharon in February 1919 to discuss building a new bridge to be built along the county line. The two counties split $40,000 in costs, with the citizens of New Sharon and vicinity paying the remaining $10,000. The truss bridge was designed by the Iowa State Highway Commission, and constructed by the Iowa Bridge Company. It was completed in 1920, and was moved to its present location sometime later. Even though it is no longer in its historic location, the bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998 as the longest pinned connected truss bridge in Iowa.</p><br>
<p>Eveland Bridge is located southwest of Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. It carried traffic of Fulton Avenue over the Des Moines River, spanning 647 ft. After receiving multiple petitions, the Mahaska County Board of Supervisors decided in April 1875 to build a bridge, replacing a ferry service that operated at this point along the river beginning in 1854. They contracted with the Fort Wayne Bridge Works of Fort Wayne, Indiana to build the new bridge for $25,200. It was designed by C.W. Tracy, a civil engineer. The Whipple through truss span was completed in the summer of 1877. This style was rarely chosen for wagon trusses in Iowa, which means few were built and fewer remain standing. Its deck has subsequently deteriorated and the bridge has been closed to traffic. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Goatstones is a Bronze-Age four-poster stone circle located near Ravensheugh Crags in Northumberland, England. It is 2.5 miles  to the north of Hadrian&#39;s Wall in the parish of Wark-on-Tyne. The name is thought to be derived from the Saxon "gyet stanes" meaning "wayside stones". The monument probably had some kind of religious purpose.</p><br>
<p>The stones are no higher than 0.8 metres, and are separated by a distance of approximately four metres. The smallest stone is decorated with 13 cup marks, or small depressions in the rock, a well known form of prehistoric rock art in Northumberland. The Goatstones is the only recorded example of a four-poster stone circle bearing cup marks. Grooves can be seen on some of the other stones. Within the circle there are traces of a low mound. This is thought to be the remains of a stone cairn which predates the construction of the stone circle and may have been the site of Bronze-Age burials.</p><br>
<p>Four-poster stone circles are found mainly in Scotland, particularly in Perthshire, and more rarely in Ireland, Wales and England. Another example in Northumberland is the Three Kings in the parish of Rochester.</p><br>
<p>No professional archaeological excavations have been carried out at the Goatstones. The monument is scheduled under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979.</p><br>
<p>Eglinton Fiord is a fjord on Baffin Island&#39;s northeastern coast in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut, Canada. The Inuit settlement of Pond Inlet is 355 km to the northwest and Clyde River is 55 km to the east.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Eglinton Fiord was one of the traditional hunting areas of the Inuit. This fjord was visited by the Wordie Arctic Expedition in 1934.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Eglinton Fiord is located between the Sam Ford and Ayr fjords. It stretches roughly from NE to SW for about 65 km. The Esquimaux River flows into the eastern side of the fjord at Ravenscraig Harbour, to the northeast of the Cormack Arm, and the Cockscomb River discharges its waters into the southern end of the fjord.</p><br>
<p>Eglinton Fiord&#39;s mouth opens to the Baffin Bay where the southern headland at the entrance is Eglinton Point. It is 14 km wide at its mouth and narrows to a width of 2.5 km about 40 km within the fjord.</p><br>
<p>Much in the same manner as its neighbouring fjords, there are spectacular landscapes in the Eglinton Fiord, especially at the second bend in the inner fjord where massive summits loom above it, such as the Eglinton Tower on the eastern side and the 1,446 m high Cockscomb Mountain on the western side. In this area the Revoir Pass to the west connects the inner reaches of the fjord through Ottawa Creek with Swiss Bay in Sam Ford Fiord and the Ayr Pass connects with the Ayr Fjord to the east.</p><br>
<p>The Joseph and Susan Manley Summer Cottage is a historic house on Club Road in the Small Point area of Phippsburg, Maine. Built in 1887, it is one of the largest and most elaborate summer houses in the community, and is a fine Queen Anne structure designed by a prominent Maine architect. It was built for Joseph Homan Manley, a prominent Maine political operative, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Manley Summer Cottage is located on the east side of Club Road, a spur road leading to the shore on the Small Point peninsula, the southernmost tip of Phippsburg. It is a 2-1/2 wood frame structure, with a hip roof, clapboard siding, and a foundation of brick and stone. It is T-shaped, with the leg of the T surrounded by a wraparound porch. The porchs supporting posts and balustrade are clad in wooden shingles, and there is a small second-story porch on the main facades central bay.</p><br>
<p>The house was designed by Lewiston architect George M. Coombs, one of the states most prolific and successful architects of the late 19th century. It was built in 1887 for Joseph Homan Manley and his wife Susan, who was the daughter of former Maine Governor Samuel Cony. It was built next to the summer house of Joseph Bodwell, then the Governor of Maine. Manley was a successful businessman, and an active member of the states Republican Party inner circle. He served from 1894-96 as chairman of the Republican National Committee. At the time of its listing on the National Register in 1998, the house was still in the hands of Manley&#39;s descendants.</p><br>
<p>The Remote Peninsula is a peninsula located on the eastern coast of Baffin Island. It is part of the Qikiqtaaluk Region of the Canadian territory of Nunavut. The Inuit settlement of Pond Inlet is 295 km to the northwest and Clyde River is 90 km to the southeast.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Remote Peninsula extends northwards into the Baffin Bay from the islands mainland. It is bounded by Gibbs Fiord and the Stewart Valley in the east, the Baffin Bay in the north, Sam Ford Fiord in the east, and in the south by Walker Arm, the latter fjords offshoot. The peninsula is attached to the mainland by a narrow isthmus in the southwest.</p><br>
<p>The Remote Peninsula is approximately 61 km long and has a maximum width of 27 km. It is mountainous and has many active glaciers. Its highest point is Ukpik Peak, a 1,809 m high prominent summit. Other noteworthy mountains include the formidable-looking Sail Peaks facing Stewart Valley, and also Tiiturvik Peak, Nauttiaq Peak, Qablunaaq Peak, Aglu Peak, Mount Longstaff, Nallaqtaq Peak and Atqut Ridge —all located in the southern and SW area of the peninsula, as well as Hangover Hill in the east.</p><br>
<p>The Remote Lake is an isolated 10 m deep lake in the northeast of the peninsula where a phenomenon of unnatural warming has been detected. Other noteworthy geographic features of the peninsula include Cape Come Again (Qaqulluit Nuvua) —its northernmost headland, and Refuge Harbour in the west.</p><br>

<p>Sutton Harbour, formerly known as Sutton Pool, is the original port of the City of Plymouth in Devon, England. It is still a busy fishing port and marina and is bounded on one side by the historic Barbican district. It is famous as the last departure point in England of the Mayflower, the ship that carried the Pilgrim Fathers to the New World.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Sutton is the original name for Plymouth, which was originally settled in about 700 AD and is recorded in the Domesday Book as Sudtone, meaning "south settlement" in the Old English language. In 1588, the harbour was the base for the English fleet that sailed to challenge the Spanish Armada. Although the Royal Navy moved most of its operations to Devonport in the 18th century and larger commercial shipping moved to Millbay Docks, Sutton Harbour continued in use by the fishing fleet and coastal trading vessels. Lock gates were added to the harbour entrance in 1993.</p><br>
<h2>Landmarks</h2><br>
<h3>The Barbican</h3><br>
<p>The Barbican is the historic district on the western and northern sides of Sutton Harbour and takes its name from a 15th century fortification which once guarded the harbour mouth. The Barbican claims to have the largest concentration of cobbled streets in England and has more than 100 listed buildings, many dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries.</p><br>
<h3>The Mayflower Steps</h3><br>
<h3>The Leviathan</h3><br>
<p>On the West Pier of Sutton Harbour stands The Leviathan, a large sculpture of an imaginary sea creature, made up of the parts of various marine animals and birds. It is the work Glossop based sculptor Brian Fell; it is made from mild steel coated with copper paint and is 33 feet (10 metres) tall. It is known locally as "The Prawn".</p><br>
<h3>Plymouth Fisheries</h3><br>
<p>Originally, Plymouth&#39;s fish market was on the quayside at The Barbican; a purpose-built market building was opened there in 1892. In 1995, a new building was opened on the other side of Sutton Harbour. The turnover of the market has increased from £250,000 a year in 1995 to a £19.4 million in 2015. The market now sells 6,000 tonnes of fish and shellfish annually, and is the second largest fish market in England. Around 40 fishing boats unload their catch at Sutton Harbour daily, but up to 70 per cent of fish sold in Plymouth arrives by road from other fishing ports in the South West of England.</p><br>
<h3>The Marina</h3><br>
<p>In 1972, the first 70 berths were opened for recreational yachts; today Sutton Harbour has more than 450. The Marina is managed by Sutton Harbour Holdings PLC.</p><br>
<h3>National Marine Aquarium</h3><br>
<p>The National Marine Aquarium is the largest marine aquarium in the United Kingdom, with around 400 marine species, including a deep tank holding 2.5 million litres (550,000 Imperial gallons) of water. The aquarium opened in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Hutchins House is a historic house at 949 Main Street in Waldoboro, Maine. Built in 1879 for the widow of a successful ship&#39;s captain and shipbuilder, it is an elaborately decorated example of Second Empire architecture with Stick style features. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982; it presently houses a funeral home.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Hutchins House is prominently situated in the village center of Waldoboro, on the north side of Main Street (Maine State Route 220) between the post office and the Broad Bay Congregational United Church. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame building, with a roughly rectangular footprint augmented by several projecting sections and a three-story tower. It is covered by a flared hip roof pierced by hipped dormers, and the tower is capped by a hipped roof with iron cresting at the peak. Eaves are decorated with Stick style brackets, and there is applied Stick style woodwork on many exterior surfaces. Windows have shallow shed-roof hoods above them, and some have wooden panels below. Projecting bays have windows set in pointed-arch openings, again decorated with Stick style elements.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1879 for "Aunt Mary Hutchins", the widow of Captain Joseph Clark, who built shipping schooners in the town. The architect is not known.</p><br>

<p>The Sanderson Covered Bridge is a historic covered bridge, which carries Pearl Street over Otter Creek in Brandon, Vermont. Built about 1840, it is one of Vermont&#39;s oldest covered bridges, and is the only remaining 19th century bridge in Brandon. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Sanderson Covered Bridge is located about 1.3 mi west of Brandons village center, on Pearl Street, a secondary road providing access to Brandons west side and neighboring Sudbury. The bridge is a single-span Town lattice truss, with a truss length of 123 ft and a total structure length of 131.5 ft. The bridge rests on abutments built out of marble slabs reinforced with concrete. It has a roadway width of 18 ft and a total width of 21.5 ft. The exterior is finished in vertical board siding, and its portals are framed by crude pilasters. The road deck is wooden, and laminated beams have been attached to the underside of the structure for added strength.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was built about 1840, and was one of two surviving covered bridges in Brandon when it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Dean Covered Bridge, Brandon&#39;s other 19th-century covered bridge, was destroyed by an arsonist in 1986.</p><br>
<p>Coney Island of the West is an island in Lake Waconia in the USA state of Minnesota that was developed into an early summer resort. Its heyday was from the 1880s to the 1920s, but it continued operating up to 1960. The 31 acre island is part of Waconia Township just.5 mi off the shore from the city of Waconia. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 for having local significance in the themes of commerce and entertainment/recreation. The island site, with its ruins of hotels, cottages, and parks, was nominated for being one of Minnesotas most popular early resorts, and an early expression of the trend of urban dwellers journeying to Minnesotas lakes and parks for recreation.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The history of Coney Island as a resort begins when Josephine Hassenstab sold the 31.85 acre island to Lambert Naegele in March 1884 for $5,200. While Waconia already had several hotels such as the North Star, Lake House, and the Sherman House, the Coney Island Hotel and its resort became the most popular of all of Waconias hotels and contributed to the towns status as a favorite summer resort.</p><br>
<p>Lambert Naegele developed the island and named it "Coney Island of the West". The origin of this name is unclear. Some claim it is named after the Coney Island entertainment center on the East Coast. Others think that it comes from the large numbers of "coneys", or rabbits that lived on the island. Finally, one group claims "Coney" is just a shortened version of "Waconia". There is not enough evidence to definitively support one of these claims over the others, however.</p><br>
<p>As part of his initial development, Lambert Naegele divided the island into lots, parks, and streets. He named the streets for famous German authors, such as Goethe, Uhland, Schiller, and Lessing. He sold plots to private owners. Naegele also built a large hotel and private cabins, for either rent or sale. In 1886 a new hotel later known as the boarding house or dormitory, several more cottages, and a boathouse were added. Naegele suffered poor health, forcing a move to better climates in Montana. In 1889 Naegele sold the hotel complex to Reinhold Zeglin, whose family had taken possession of it at the end of the summer season in August 1888.</p><br>
<p>Zeglin, a German immigrant like Naegele, made plans for a third hotel, designed to sleep one to two hundred guests. With this added space, numbers of hotel guests began to rise. Part of the draw was Zeglin&#39;s addition of a bowling alley and Sunday concerts to amuse his guests. He also built a laundry, dining room, kitchen, and pavilion as part of his new hotel. In 1895 Zeglin rented Coney Island Hotel and resort to Emil Krueger of Stillwater, Minnesota, but he returned to run it again in 1896.</p><br>
<p>The resorts reputation was growing. Guests came to stay for periods of weeks or months, with many remaining all summer. Some, like Emile Amblard, the "Duke of Clearwater Lake", stayed permanently. Amblard, a French winemaker and businessman, came to visit and loved the island and town so well that he never left. Guests came from nearby Minneapolis–Saint Paul and elsewhere in Minnesota. Others came from New York, Ohio, and Illinois, or as far away as Europe and South Africa. There were even some famous guests. The guest register from June 20, 1896 shows movie star Sarah Bernhardt staying at the hotel. Between 1903 and 1905, the University of Minnesota Gophers held pre-season practices on the islands football field.</p><br>
<p>Zeglin&#39;s sons took over the resort in 1909. However business was beginning to slow by 1919 due to outside factors. The car allowed people to travel farther with more ease than trains. With this new flexibility, vacationers chose to spend summers in other states rather than locally. In 1927 the name was changed from Coney to Paradise Island, to encourage more guest visits. The name would not last. The Zeglin family sold the resort in 1939 to Frank Dvorak.</p><br>
<p>Frank "Shorty" Dvorak bought land on the island in 1939, soon adding a dance hall, a restaurant, and more cabins. The island became a weekend dinner and dancing spot, rather than a resort. Dvorak sold the complex to the Day Camp Company in 1959. The island deteriorated due to lack of proper maintenance, and their contract defaulted back to Dvorak in 1960. He was the last owner who operated the island as a place for entertainment.</p><br>
<p>Since 1960, the island has had many private owners. Vandalism and time took their toll on the island. In 1975 efforts were started to rehabilitate it, led by the Waconia Bicentennial Committee&#39;s Island Committee. In 1976, Coney Island of the West was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. A year later, a study was conducted by Dunwiddie Architects on the island and its possible uses. In the twenty-first century, there have been many ideas on restoring the island, but so far, high costs have prevented development. The current owner as of 2015 was planning to turn the island into a public park.</p><br>

<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>Carver Historic District is a historic district in Carver, Minnesota, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 for having state-level significance in the themes of architecture, commerce, exploration/settlement, industry, and transportation. The district encompasses about 100 contributing properties mostly built from 1855 to 1880. It was nominated for being the well-preserved core of a Minnesota River town, and Carver County&#39;s greatest concentration of historically and architecturally significant buildings.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The city of Carver was one of the earliest communities in Carver County. Located on the Minnesota River, it was often the first place immigrants to Carver County visited. From there they spread out to other towns and farms. Norwegian immigrant Axel Jorgenson settled in the area that became Carver in the winter of 1851–1852. In 1854 Jorgenson sold his land to a group of townsite investors from Saint Paul, called the Carver Land Company. Minnesota Territorial Governor Alexander Ramsey was part of this group. He suggested the name "Carver" for the town site after Jonathan Carver, who first explored the area.</p><br>
<p>By 1855 the town of Carver was already growing. It had a tailor, a hotel, a boarding house, a building designer, a carpenter, a livery stable, a blacksmith, two shoemakers, and a general store. By 1857, 35 buildings existed in Carver. The area was a main stopping point in trade and immigrant travel along the Minnesota River. In 1877 Carver was incorporated as the Village of Carver. By the 1890s Carver was one of the biggest settlements in the county.</p><br>
<p>Carver&#39;s future changed with the loss of river trade during railroad development. When railroads were built, they bypassed Carver, taking businesses with them. The Prohibition era from 1920 to 1933 made this worse, as many saloons and hotels shut down. Carver became impoverished. Simple lack of money protected historic structures from being torn down. There was no new building and growth. However more was needed to stop future destruction of the historic town. On June 25, 1969 a non-profit corporation called Carver-on-the-Minnesota, Incorporated was created. The group began by raising money to buy buildings in need of repair. This was the seed of the Carver Historic District.</p><br>
<p>Carver-on-the-Minnesota created restoration plans and design guidelines for restorations in historic Carver. They also serve as a source for historic building research. Their work led to even more buildings being preserved. In 1980, the old town of Carver was chosen as one of the first historic districts in Minnesota, due in part to the work of this organization. Carver Historic District contains 87 buildings and four other structures of importance. National Register signs mark many district buildings. They vary from private homes and businesses to churches and public buildings. Buildings range in time from 1852–1925. Many of them have been returned to their original look and style.</p><br>
<p>In February 1989 the city of Carver created a Heritage Preservation Commission. Their goal was to help the City Council, Planning and Zoning Commission, and Parks Department with preservation work. Carver was named a Preserve America community by the federal government in 2007. It was only the eighth so to be named in the state of Minnesota.</p><br>
<p>Sunflower Village, also known as Clearview City, was a historic complex used to house the workers of the now defunct Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant in DeSoto, Johnson County, Kansas, United States.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1960, the population of Sunflower Village reached nearly 18,000 during the Vietnam War when production of ammunition at the plant was at its peak. Following the war, population steadily declined durning the mid-1970s, dropping to 4,200 by 1980.</p><br>
<p>In 1987, 6 acres of houses in the eastern portion of Sunflower Village were demolished due to damage and age. That area is now home to Countryside Elementary School.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Sunflower Village is located approximately 23 miles west of Kansas City, 0.18 miles south of De Soto, and 5 miles east of Eudora.</p><br>
<p>The Rock Island Passenger Depot is an historic building located in Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad arrived in town in 1876, and they built a frame combination depot on the north side of the tracks. This depot replaced the original one in 1888 on the south side of the tracks, and it served ten passenger trains a day. A separate freight depot was built to the east. President Theodore Roosevelt stopped here when he came to dedicate the new Y.M.C.A. in 1903. The freight and passenger depots were combined into a single facility once again in 1930, utilizing the passenger depot. The depot was officially abandoned in 1973. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. The building now houses a pub.</p><br>
<p>The depot is a single-story brick structure in the Stick-Eastlake style. When used as a depot it had a mens waiting room on the west side and womans room on the east. The ticket agent and a lunch counter separated them. There was also a room for baggage and restrooms facilities. It is not known who designed the building.</p><br>
<p>The Spring Creek Friends Cemetery is a historic site located northeast of Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. The approximately one-half acre plot of land contains and unknown number of burials with about 123 having plain markers that date from the 1860s through the 1890s. There is a network of pedestrian paths in the cemetery, and it is surrounded by a fence with concrete posts on the south, west, and north sides. The cemetery was founded about 1848 and continued to accept burials until about 1892. It calls attention to the earliest period of Quaker settlement in Iowa, which at that time was primarily a rural phenomenon. The Spring Creek Meeting was established here in the 1840s or the 1850s, and was the site of the first Iowa Yearly Meeting in 1863. The Spring Creek Meeting merged with the Center Grove Meeting in 1894 and formed the Oskaloosa Monthly Meeting. The meetinghouse subsequently moved into Oskaloosa, and burials here dropped off. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>The Vander Wilt Farmstead Historic District, also known as the Heritage House Bed and Breakfast, is an agricultural historic district located north of Leighton, Iowa, United States. At the time of its nomination it included three contributing buildings, three contributing structures, one non-contributing building, and two non-contributing structures. The significance of the district is attributed to its association with progressive farming and the Country Life Movement, which sought to improve the living conditions of rural residents. The contributing buildings include the 1904 barn, the house , the corn crib , dairy barn  and the feed lots. The two-story house was built by Douwe Sjaardema, a contractor from Pella, Iowa. The corn crib was built by the Iowa Concrete Crib & Silo Co. of Des Moines. The farm also includes a former landing strip for airplanes. It featured a 1,500 ft grass runway where cows grazed on certain days. At one time it had a windsock and homemade landing lights. A hangar, no longer in existence, had been built in 1955. An automobile garage and two silos are the non-contributing resources. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. The 1904 barn has subsequently been torn down.</p><br>
<p>Eagle Lake is the first, largest, and deepest lake of the Allagash Wilderness Waterway in the North Maine Woods. The lake covers the eastern side of Eagle Lake township. The southern end of the lake extends into Maine township 7, range 12, where it receives overflow from Indian Pond, and into Soper Mountain township where it receives overflow from Haymock Lake via Smith Brook. Other ponds in the Eagle Lake watershed include Woodman Pond via Woodman Brook, Pillsbury Pond and Little Pillsbury Pond via Smith Brook, Soper Pond and Upper Soper Pond via Soper Brook, and the Russell Ponds via Russell Brook. Eagle Lake originally received overflow from Chamberlain Lake, but Lock Dam has diverted most Chamberlain Lake overflow through Telos Cut to the Penobscot River since the 1850s.</p><br>
<h2>Churchill Lake Dam</h2><br>
<p>A dam in Maine township 10, range 12, has raised the level of Churchill Lake from the adjoining range 12 township 9 into the north end of Eagle Lake in adjoining range 13 of township 9. The dam controls elevation of Eagle Lake by releases to the Allagash River tributary of the Saint John River. Personnel at Churchill Depot control dam releases to sustain Allagash River summer flows favorable for canoe passage of the Allagash Wilderness Waterway.</p><br>
<h2>Fish habitat</h2><br>
<p>The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife considers Eagle Lake ideal habitat for togue, squaretail, cusk, and lake whitefish; and has endeavored to protect the lake from introduction of competing species like yellow perch. Releases from Churchill Lake Dam may be reduced during autumn and winter months to sustain water levels covering rocky shoals used for spawning.</p><br>

<p>Tobiesen Island  is one of the Rønnbeck Islands in the Svalbard archipelago. It lies in Hinlopen Strait northeast of Cape Weyprecht on Spitsbergen. It is the northernmost and easternmost island in the archipelago.</p><br>
<p>The island is a low basalt cliff. The island has an hourglass shape with a north-south orientation, reaching an elevation of 16 m above sea level on its south end and 18 m on the north. There are some unnamed rocks and islets lying off the island to the northwest. The closest neighboring islands are Simonsen Island about 2.6 km to the southwest and Kiepert Island (one of the Bastian Islands) about 3 km to the north. The wildlife consists largely of polar bears.</p><br>
<p>The island was discovered in 1867 by the Swedish-Norwegian polar explorer Nils Fredrik Rønnbeck. It is named after Sivert Kristian Tobiesen (1821–1873), a Norwegian seal hunter that spent the winter on Bear Island.</p><br>
<p>Kiepert Island  is the second-largest of the Bastian Islands in the Svalbard archipelago. It lies east of Wilhelm Island and northeast of Spitsbergen.</p><br>
<p>The island consists of two parts: an eastern part with a length of about 2.7 km with an east-west orientation, and a western part with a length of about 3.5 km with a north-south orientation. The two parts are connected by a sandbank. The island is a low basalt cliff that reaches an elevation of 31 m above sea level in its northeast part, 35 m to the southwest, and 34 m to the east. The closest neighboring islands are Deegen Island about 770 m to the west and Tobiesen Island about 2.1 km to the south. The wildlife consists largely of polar bears.</p><br>
<p>The Bastian Islands were discovered in 1867 by the Swedish-Norwegian polar explorer Nils Fredrik Rønnbeck, who was the first to sail around Spitsbergen. Most of the Bastian Islands were named during the First German North Polar Expedition in 1868, led by Carl Koldewey, and this island was named after the German geographer and cartographer Heinrich Kiepert.</p><br>
<p>The Mosquito Island House is a historic house on Mosquito Island, off the southern coast of St. George, Maine in the Gulf of Maine. Probably built in the late 18th century, it is unique in the state as a Cape style house constructed out of granite blocks. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. The island is private property, owned since 1995 by John Malone, one of Maine&#39;s largest landowners.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Mosquito Island is located about 2 mi south of Martinsville and east of Marshall Point, the southernmost tip of the St. George peninsula. The island is about 220 acre in size. The stone house is located in a clearing on the northwestern shore of the island, along with a small cluster of more modern buildings. It is a 1-1/2 story Cape style structure, built out of rough-cut granite and topped by a gabled roof. The front (north-facing) of the roof is pierced by two gabled dormers, which are 20th-century additions. The main facade has two sash windows flanking the main entrance, which is topped by a multilight transom window.</p><br>
<p>The house&#39;s construction date is uncertain. The stone was quarried locally, using a method that went out of common use around 1750, and is distinctively different from more modern methods used in quarrying the stones for an 1830 foundation on the island. The earliest surviving real estate transactions involving the island date to 1785, and the early history of the island is not well documented. The island was purchased in 1995 by John Malone, a billionaire businessman and philanthropist with extensive landholdings in the state, and the house was restored.</p><br>
<p>North Vernon Downtown Historic District is a national historic district located at North Vernon, Jennings County, Indiana. It encompasses 80 contributing buildings and 1 contributing structure in the central business district of North Vernon. The district developed between about 1852 and 1955, and includes notable examples of Federal, Italianate, Classical Revival, and Bungalow / American Craftsman style architecture. Notable contributing buildings include the First Christian Church , M.T. Lindley Building , N.C. Bank , Masonic Lodge , Red Man Lodge #99 , Jennings County Carnegie Library , Bantz Building , Ades Building , Perry-Verbiage Building , Couchman Building , and Gottwalles Grocery .</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>The Crosby Street Historic District encompasses a collection of well-preserved high-quality early 19th-century houses on Crosby Street and Crosby Lane in Augusta, Maine. Located on a rise overlooking the city&#39;s downtown, these houses were built by leading businessmen of the period, and are either Federal or Greek Revival in their style. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Crosby Street and Crosby Lane are located on a hill just north of Augusta&#39;s downtown business district. The two streets form a L, its ends at Bridge Street, a major east-west route, and State Street, a major north-south route. There are eight houses in the district, of which seven are historically significant. One faces State Street, one Crosby Lane, and the others face Crosby Street. The oldest house is that of George Crosby, a two story wood frame building with Federal style. Two houses, built in the 1840s, exhibit Greek Revival style, while one is transitional between the Greek Revival and Federal periods.</p><br>
<p>This enclave of homes is a surviving element of Augusta&#39;s early commercial development. In that period, businessmen built their houses near the commercial district. As later commercial and industrial development encroached, wealthier elements of the community built further away. This area survived conversion to commercial or industrial use because of its location on a hill. Many of these houses have been converted into multiple units.</p><br>
<p>The Château de Boisgibault is located 10 kilometers south of Orleans on D168 in the commune of Ardon in the Loiret département of France.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original manor, never fortified, was built in 1680. Its successive owners continued to enlarge the area to develop the castle. In 1712, Joseph Charpentier, Lord of Brandelong and Méliers, bought Boisgibault. The family obtained the right to have a chapel in Boisgibault in 1756. His son, Jacques Charpentier de Boisgibault (1721-1794), was Senior Judge and Président of Court of Aids with Malesherbes and an advisor to King Louis XV, and later died in the French Revolution. The two wings of the castle have most likely been added in the 18th century. During the French Revolution, the castle and its backyard were sold. In 1829, the château was acquired by the Marquis de Gasville who made of Boisgibault one of the finest hunting property in Sologne by extending the walls of the park by more than a kilometer fence. The woods were drilled in wide avenues. He built a square pavilion called the telegraph.</p><br>
<p>The château, oriented east-west, consists of an elongated building flanked by two wings. This set is characteristic of a residence of Sologne built for hunting, without much concern for outdoor setting. It nevertheless has a sober and balanced plan whose single character has remained very authentic.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation as a monument</h2><br>
<p>On December 31, 2001, the Château de Boisgibault was classified as a historic monument.</p><br>
<p>Chamberlain Lake is one of the largest and deepest lakes in the North Maine Woods. The lake originally drained north through Eagle Lake and Churchill Lake into the Allagash River tributary to the Saint John River. Nineteenth-century logging operations diverted the lake into the Penobscot River before designation of the Allagash Wilderness Waterway in 1966.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Telos Lake drained into the south end of Chamberlain Lake until the Telos Cut was excavated in 1841 to allow Telos Lake to drain east into Webster Lake and the Penobscot River. In the 1850s Eben S. Coe built the timber crib Lock Dam across the outlet from Chamberlain Lake causing Chamberlain Lake to overflow southward through Round Pond, Telos Lake, Webster Lake and Webster Brook into the East Branch Penobscot River in Baxter State Park. These changes allowed logs harvested in the upper Saint John River watershed to be floated to Bangor sawmills. The combined level of Chamberlain Lake, Round Pond, and Telos Lake has subsequently been regulated by Telos Dam.</p><br>
<h2>Togue habitat</h2><br>
<p>Summer water temperatures range from 64° near the surface to 52° in the deepest pools. Cold water with high dissolved oxygen concentrations provides good habitat for togue if water levels are stable after autumn spawning occurs in the rocky shallows. Lake whitefish and round whitefish are the main food source for Chamberlain Lake togue. The lake also supports brook trout.</p><br>

<p>The Anthony Scoville House, also known as Corbu, is a historic house at 905 Dawley Road in Mount Holly, Vermont. Built between 1964 and 1968, it is a distinctive local example of the International Style of architecture, designed by architect Anthony Scoville for his own year-round use. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. In early 2016, it was for sale.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Scoville house stands on a rural 300 acre parcel of rolling terrain. The house is located on the west side of Dawley Road, a short way south of Shunpike Road, and is accessed via a long and winding drive that ends up approaching it from the south. The house is a square structure, with its second story overhanging the first on all four sides. A 20 ft tall concrete tower rises at the center of the building. The upper level&#39;s exterior is characterized by tall casement and plate glass windows and vertical flushboarded siding that is either composite particle board (as originally built) or plywood (which has been laid over deteriorating portions of the original particle board). The ground level has exposed rough concrete walls as well as similar finishes to the upper level.</p><br>
<p>The house was designed by architect Anthony Scoville, a recent graduate of Yale University, and was built between 1964 and 1968 by fellow Yale students and friends of Scovilles, on land he had purchased a few years earlier. The house is based on the architectural ideals espoused by Le Corbusier, prompting Scoville to name the property "Corbu". The house bears some conceptual resemblance to Le Corbusiers Villa Savoye in France.</p><br>
<p>The Spring Lake Recreation Area is a recreational facility of the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest in Yell County, Arkansas. It is located north of Danville, in and around Spring Lake, a man-made lake constructed in 1937 with funding from the Works Progress Administration. The area has facilities for fishing and picnicking, including many structures built with WPA funding the Rustic style common to work of the Civilian Conservation Corps. Facilities from that period include picnic pavilions and developed picnic sites, a bathhouse, two swimming platforms, the Spring Lake Bridge, and the dam which impounds Spring Creek at the southern end of the lake. The area was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995 as the Spring Lake Recreation Area Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The McIntyre House is a historic mansion built in 1898 and located at 259 E. 7th Ave. in Salt Lake City, Utah. It was designed by architect Frederick Albert Hale. The home was listed by the National Park Service on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>According to its NRHP nomination, the house was commissioned by Gilbert S. "Gill" Peyton and first called "Peyton Hall."</p><br>
<p>Peyton, a Nebraska pharmacist who perfected and patented a cyanide-based method for extracting gold dust from mud, previously made his way to Utah where he and his partners purchased the largely abandoned Mercur Mine and became wealthy. The house was sold to fellow mining executive William H. McIntyre in late 1901, whose descendants lived in "McIntyre House" until the property was purchased by the president of the LDS Church in 1963 for use by LDS Hospital and Brigham Young University College of Nursing and renamed "Colonial House."</p><br>
<p>Following fifty years of institutional usage, in 2013 the property returned to its original name and private ownership when a family purchased and restored the residence.</p><br>
<p>The Evanston Civic Center, historically known as Marywood Academy, is a historic building located at 2100 Ridge Avenue in Evanston, Illinois. The building was built in 1900 as Visitation Academy to serve as a girls Catholic school led by the Visitation Sisters. Architect Henry J. Schlacks gave the building a Georgian Revival design that featured a tripartite massing with a base, middle, and cornice; limestone quoins and belt courses; and Doric pilasters and an architrave molding around the entrance. The Sisters of Providence purchased the school in 1915 and renamed it Marywood Academy; the school operated as Marywood Academy until 1970, reaching a peak enrollment of 532 in the 1964-65 school year. The building was later sold to the City of Evanston and now serves as the citys civic center.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 9, 2006.</p><br>
<p>The Edmundson Park Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. There were also 13 non-contributing buildings, five non-contributing sites, and two non-contributing structures.</p><br>
<p>The 56.5 acre park is an example of a Depression Era public works project that was constructed between 1936 and 1938 by the Works Progress Administration (WPA). James Depew Edmundson, an Iowa attorney who grew up in Oskaloosa, gave a $20,000 bequest to the city to establish a park. City engineer Don Russell saw the New Deal program as an opportunity to add value to the project. The park is the work of landscape architect Ray F. Wyrick. Its structures were designed in the rustic style that was promoted by the National Park Service between 1916 and 1942 for parks supported by all levels of government.</p><br>
<p>Deegen Island  is a minor island in the Bastian Islands in the Svalbard archipelago. It lies east of Wilhelm Island and northeast of Spitsbergen.</p><br>
<p>The elongated island has a length of 1.5 km with an east-west orientation, but its width does not exceed 300 m. The island is a low basalt cliff that reaches an elevation of 32 m above sea level. There are unnamed holms off the northwest shore of the island. The closest neighboring islands are Kiepert Island about 770 m to the east, Klöden Island 1.5 km to the north, and Geographer Island 2.3 km to the northwest. The wildlife consists largely of polar bears.</p><br>
<p>The Bastian Islands were discovered in 1867 by the Swedish-Norwegian polar explorer Nils Fredrik Rønnbeck, who was the first to sail around Spitsbergen. Most of the Bastian Islands were named during the First German North Polar Expedition in 1868, led by Carl Koldewey, and this island was named after a German supreme court judge named Deegen.</p><br>
<p>The Krasnyi Bor dump site is a hazardous waste landfill site in Krasny Bor, Tosnensky District, Leningrad Oblast, Russia. The site is sometimes called the "chemical Chernobyl", due to the two million tons of chemical waste accumulated there.</p><br>
<h2>The site</h2><br>
<p>The Krasny Bor landfill is located about 30 km to the southeast of Saint Petersburg. The site, spanning 73 hectares (180 acres), was brought into use in 1970.</p><br>
<p>Two million tons of waste in Krasnyi Bor are stored in pools, many of which have no cover. The area is surrounded with barbed wire, but outside the fencing there is a channel, into which rain water and waste collects. With the rain and meltwater, poisons from the uncovered pools flow into this channel.</p><br>
<p>The facility is formally under the authority of St. Petersburg.</p><br>
<p>Next to the dumping site there are two rivers, the Izhora River and the Tosna River, which empty into the Neva River.</p><br>
<h2>Environmental concerns</h2><br>
<p>The site has been characterized as an ecological time bomb. The Baltic Marine Environment Protection Commission (HELCOM) has called it as a particularly polluted area, which will present a serious threat to the Baltic Sea. If waters from the Krasnyi Bor pools should escape, or if the dykes should break, the hazardous waste will end up in the Gulf of Finland. In early March 2016, such a dyke did break, but the leak was detected and blocked up quickly.</p><br>
<p>The machinery of the facility is old, it is inefficient, and according to former head of the facility Kolyakov, if functions only when the temperature is not freezing. In addition to this, problems are caused by the fact that the wasted has been dumped into the pools without any kind of separation of the waste materials.</p><br>
<p>In the spring of 2016, Helsingin Sanomat reported that the Krasnyi Bor dumping site was in a critical state, as the pools containing industrial waste were almost full. The situation is dangerous for the city of St. Petersburg, too, since it takes it water supply from the Neva, below the place where the Izhora River empties into it.</p><br>
<p>In March 2016, Helsingin Sanomat took samples of the water near the dumping ground. The following substances were found in a ditch near it: PCB compounds, cadmium, heavy metals, cyanide, arsenic, as well as the pesticide HCH, signs of solvents and pesticides such as the herbicide MPCA. It has also been claimed that the dumping site contains radioactive waste. The authorities of St. Petersburg claim that all this is false and without basis.</p><br>
<p>The head of the harmful waste from the Finnish Environment Institute SYKE, Jaakko Mannio says that the fact that hazardous substances were found outside the dumping site is an indication of a leak.</p><br>
<p>The problems of the dumping site were publicized by the former director Viktor Kolyakov, who was dismissed five months after the revelations. After this, the city of St. Petersburg has threatened to have him prosecuted for “spreading unfounded information.”</p><br>
<p>The Russian State Prosecutor office has investigated the functioning of the dumping site in 2016. Kolyakov’s predecessor is suspected of having exceeded his authority. Connected to the dumping site, there are also cases pending concerning stealing funds from budget of the city of St. Petersburg.</p><br>
<p>In 2015, the city of St. Petersburg wanted to build an incinerator, which would have been designed by a Russian daughter company of the Finnish consulting and engineering company Pöyry. However, the residents and politicians of the Leningrad Oblast were opposed to the idea of waste being incinerated there, and the plan came to naught. The city has no alternative plan of how to process the waste.</p><br>
<p>The Marquess of Anglesey&#39;s Column  is a Greek doric column dedicated to Henry William Paget  to commemorate his valour particularly at the Battle of Waterloo. The column is a Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<p>During the battle Paget (at that time Lord Uxbridge) lost his leg to a cannonball hit. It is claimed he turned to</p><br>
<p>Lord Wellington when his leg was hit, and exclaimed, "By God, sir, I&#39;ve lost my leg!" — to which Wellington replied, "By God, sir, so you have!". Paget was later fitted with the first ever articulated wooden leg.</p><br>
<p>The 27 m high monument (designed by Thomas Harrison) was erected close to Paget&#39;s country retreat at Plas Newydd, in 1816. The</p><br>
<p>monument was not completed until 1860 (after the Marquess had died) when the brass sculpture at the top was</p><br>
<p>added. Matthew Noble sculpted the statue.</p><br>
<h2>Present Condition</h2><br>
<p>In recent years, the condition of the column has deteriorated. Many of the wooden steps in the tower have rotted, and pose a severe fire risk. As a result, the column closed to the public in March 2014, and no formal restoration proposals have been agreed.</p><br>
<p>Admiral Rodney&#39;s Pillar is a pillar built on Breidden Hill in Powys, Wales. It was built in 1781–82 to commemorate the naval victories of Sir George Brydges Rodney, Admiral of the White. The pillar is of local stone, 54 ft high, and topped with a drum and finial, which replaced the original gilded ball after a lightning strike in 1847. A granite panel states that it was erected by the "Gentlemen of Montgomeryshire" to commemorate the naval successes of Admiral Rodney including the Battle of the Saints. The pillar is a conspicuous landmark around the Upper Severn Valley and is a Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<p>An inscription in Welsh, which had disappeared by 1890, translated as ". The highest pillar will fall, the strongest towers will decay: but the fame of Sir George Brydges Rodney shall increase continually, and his good name shall never be obliterated."</p><br>
