<p>The McCobb–Hill–Minott House is a historic house at 44 Parker Head Road in Phippsburg, Maine. Built in 1774, it is a high quality example of late Georgian architecture, notable for its architecture and its prominent residents, who included Mark Langdon Hill, Maine&#39;s first United States Congressman. The house is now the 1774 Inn, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The McCobb–Hill–Minott House is located in the central village of Phippsburg, on the north side of Parker Head Road, overlooking the Kennebec River to the east. It is a roughly square two-story wood frame structure, with a hip roof, and clapboard siding. The roof has a large cupola at its center, covered by a low-pitch roof, with windows and three sides and a door on the fourth, providing access to the roof and chimneys. It has principal facades facing southeast and northwest, with center entrances framed by Doric pilasters and gabled pediments. A long ell extends northwest from the northeast face, joining the house to a barn; these additions date to the late 18th century.</p><br>
<p>The house was built by Isaac Packard in 1774 for James McCobb, a major landowner and local political leader during the American Revolution. One of McCobbs daughters married Mark Langdon Hill, who partnered with his brother-in-law Thomas McCobb in the establishment of a local shipyard and merchant business. Hill was politically active, serving as one Maines first representatives in the United States Congress after it achieved statehood in 1820. After Hills death, the house was purchased by Charles V. Minott, one of the regions most successful shipbuilders of the second half of the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>St Illtyd&#39;s Church is a church in Llanhilleth, Blaenau Gwent, Wales. A Grade II* listed building, it is the oldest standing building in the county borough.</p><br>
<p>Although the church is now deconsecrated and in private ownership the use of the site for worship goes make many years. There are references to the church in a 9th/10th century poem and was probably rebuilt by the Cistercians in the late 12th century. Much of what remains (particularly the saddleback west tower and the barrel roofs) suggests more rebuilding around 1500. Further refurbishment was completed in 1888–91.</p><br>
<p>The church closed in the 1930s because of subsidence from nearby coalmining and was repaired and reopened in 1943, before closing again because of open cast mining in 1957. By 1962 the church had deteriorated further and closed permanently.</p><br>
<p>The church was eventually acquired by Blaenau Gwent Borough Council.</p><br>
<p>The Simeon Smith House is a historic house on Main Road in West Haven, Vermont. Built in 1798-1800 to a design by William Sprat , a prominent housewright from Litchfield, Connecticut, it is a fine example of period Federal architecture. It was built for Simeon Smith, a wealthy businessman who moved here from Connecticut. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Simeon Smith House stands in a rural area of far eastern West Haven, on the north side of Main Road, a short way west of its junction with Vermont Route 22A, the principal north-south route in the area. The house is a 2-1/2 story I-house, built of wood, with a gable roof, clapboard siding, and rubblestone foundation. The main facade faces the road to the south, and has a central entrance flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a cornice. Windows are 19th-century two-over-two sash, with flanking shutters, and the roof line has a modillioned eave. The interior follows a center hall plan on the ground floor, and has a large, elaborately decorated ballroom taking up most of the second floor. An ell extends to the left, dating to a 1920s renovation done after a fire dmaaged an older ell.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1798-1800 for Simeon Smith, a wealthy businessman who had moved to the area (then part of Fair Haven) in 1787 from northwestern Connecticut. Smith&#39;s relationship with the designer William Sprat is not well understood. Sprat was active in the Litchfield, Connecticut area, and was apparently hired by Smith to at least draw up plans for this house; it is unclear if he actually worked on it. Smith and Sprat are buried in adjacent plots in a West Haven Cemetery.</p><br>
<p>Gelligroes Mill is a water powered corn mill in Pontllanfraith, Caerphilly county borough, south Wales. It features an overshot wheel with a cast iron frame and wooden buckets. It was built around 1625, and much altered in its working life eventually falling into disuse in the late 1980s. It was soon restored and 1992. The mill was designated as a Grade II* listed building in 1962. It is believed to have been the last mill operating commercially in Monmouthshire.</p><br>
<p>As mining developed and farming declined the business adapted to changing needs. In 1874 the owners became suppliers of seed and animal feed to smallholders, and in the 1900s generators were installed to charge batteries for customers.</p><br>
<p>When fully operational the mill contained 2 pairs of rotating stones to grind barley and wheat.</p><br>
<p>The Paradise Block 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 1991. The contributing properties were built between 1853 and 1917, with 15 of them being built between 1880 and 1900. Two of the houses, the Smith-Johnson House  and the Seeberger-Loring-Kilburn House , are individually listed on the National Register. The churches include the First Church of Christ, Scientist , a Neoclassical structure covered with stucco, and St. Paul Congregational United Church of Christ , a Neoclassical brick structure.</p><br>
<p>The neighborhood was historically the home to leading businessmen and professionals in Oskaloosa. It contains the largest and most intact examples of late 19th and early 20th century residences in the city. Both vernacular and high style designs are included. Several of the structures were designed by architects, including the two churches. All of the houses are single family residences, and most are frame structures, with five being brick and one of stone construction.</p><br>
<p>Ulysses Simpson Grant Elementary School is a historic building located in Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. Built in 1914, it replaced a school of the same name that had been built in 1876. The Neoclassical building was designed by Des Moines architect John W. Trafzer, and built by Buckler and Robertson. It was the first new school built in Oskaloosa in the 20th century, and part of an effort to rebuild or recondition the schools in the city. The addition of a multipurpose facility in 1957 followed the Mother&#39;s Crusade of 1956 to rebuild and modernize Oskaloosa schools system after World War II. It was designed by George Russell. Two other additions were built in 1978 and 1980. The building served the school system until 2004, after which the original portion of the building was converted into senior apartments and the newer additions into a senior center. The grounds have become a community park. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<p>The Spring Creek Meeting House-H Street Mission was an historic building in Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. The frame building was built sometime after an 1878 fire destroyed the original meeting house. It was relocated from its original rural location to this site in 1895. The Spring Creek Meeting was organized in 1844 outside of town. It calls attention to the movement of the Quakers from a rural setting to a central location in town. After its relocation it became a mission of the Oskaloosa Monthly Meeting. This illustrates the evangelical nature of the Iowa Yearly Meeting after the Schism of 1877, and their willingness to proselytize in order to rectify the decline in membership on the frontier. Such a move was an anomaly among Eastern Quakers. The architecture itself shows a shift in Quaker meeting houses in Iowa from structures that were long and low to this one with its high-pitched gable roof. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. The building has subsequently been torn down.</p><br>
<p>Daniel Nelson House and Barn, also known as the Nelson Pioneer Farm and Museum, are historic buildings located north of Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. Daniel and Margaret Nelson settled here in 1844, a year after this part of Iowa was opened to settlement by the USA Government. Their first home was a log structure, non-extant, located northeast of the present house. The present house is a two-story, brick structure with a gable roof. The wooden porches on the front and back of the house date from 1898 to 1900. The large barn measures 61 by, and was built in 1856. It is composed of board and batten construction from oak that was milled on the site. It was used largely as a granary, rather than a shelter for farm animals. Three other buildings included in the historic designation include the summer kitchen, woodshed, and a small outdoor privy. The dates of construction for the three frame buildings is unknown. The farm remained in the Nelson family until 1941 when it was abandoned with most of the original furnishings intact. The property was donated to the Mahaska County Historical Society, which now operates it as a museum. Other historic buildings have been moved to this location over the years. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>

<p>Monhegan Island was purchased in 1777 by Henry Trefethern, a native of Kittery, Maine. After his death in 1806, the island was divided among his heirs, and property ownership diversified thereafter. His son, also named Henry, continued to exert significant influence in the affairs of the small community, and it was thus that the imposing house he built in 1826 acquired its name. The house was divided into a duplex not long after construction, to provide residential space for Henry&#39;s brother George.</p><br>

<p>The John Davis House is a historic house on River Road in Chelsea, Maine. Probably built between 1815 and 1820, it is a fine local example of a Federal period brick house, rivalling in quality those found in more urban environments of the period. It was probably built by John Davis, a local housewright of some renown. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The John Davis House stands on the west side of River Road (Maine State Route 9) in the rural community of Chelsea, opposite its junction with Pushard Lane. It is a 2-1/2 story brick building, with a gable roof and four irregularly placed chimneys. The main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a semi-elliptical transom window. The remaining bays are filled with sash windows, set in rectangular openings, with granite sills and lintels. A single-story shed-roof porch extends to one side. The interior features high quality Federal period woodwork and massive granite fireplace sills.</p><br>
<p>The house&#39;s construction date is uncertain. It was not standing when the earliest map was made of the area in 1815, and is referred to as the "John Davis Farm" in a deed from the 1860s. Davis was a well-known housewright in the region, and may have built the house not long after the land was surveyed. The house is nearly identical in form to houses found in surrounding towns. Little is known of Davis, but he is believed by local historians to have also built a number of those houses.</p><br>

<p>Seboeis Lake extends from Lake View Plantation, Maine, north into Maine township 4, range 9. The lake is enclosed by rocky headlands and sandy beaches and contains several pine-covered islands. The inlet at the north end receives several tributaries from Long A township including Dean Brook, Jordan Brook, and West Seboeis Stream. Bear Brook flows into the northwest corner of the lake, and Northwest Pond overflows into the west side of the Lake. West Branch Sebois Stream overflows the east side of the lake through Dudley Rips into Endless Lake; and Endless Lake overflow reaches the Piscataquis River 15 mi downstream, just 3 mi upstream of the Piscataquis and Penobscot River confluence at Howland.</p><br>
<h2>Fishing</h2><br>
<p>A boat launching area on the inlet can be reached from a side road at West Seboeis on Maine State Route 11. The lake provides good habitat for white perch, chain pickerel, and smallmouth bass; and a few brook trout move into the lake from the tributaries. A dam at the outlet prevents anadromous fish migration into the lake.</p><br>

<p>The Prof. Edgar H. and Irene D. Stranahan House is a historic residence located in Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. Both Stranahans taught religious education at William Penn College, and he was one of the longer serving faculty members. Their daughter Esther taught religion at the college, which calls attention to family members from more than one generation who worked at the college. Edgar also served as master of ceremonies for the Oskaloosa Chautauqua in the 1920s. The Stranahans were among the first to settle in the Penn College Addition. The college platted and sold these lots, which in turn helped the institution financially survive. This two-story, single-family, frame dwelling is covered with stucco. It features vertical boards that define pilasters on the main facade, Moorish-type arch worked into the stucco, a front entry with pilasters that support a pedimented gable roof, and a solarium. It is the Stranahans&#39; association with the college in the context of the Quaker testimony in Oskaloosa that makes this house historic. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>The River Funshion  is a river in Munster, Ireland, a tributary of the Munster Blackwater.</p><br>
<h2>Course</h2><br>
<p>The River Funshion rises in the Galtee Mountains, near the County Limerick–County Tipperary border. It flows southwards past Galtee Castle and under the M8, crossing the R639. It then flows westwards and forms part of the County Limerick–County Cork border, passing under the M8 again, and the R639 at Kilbeheny. It flows westwards through Mitchelstown Golf Club, north of the town. The Funshion passes under the N73 near Kildorrery, flowing southeast through Glanworth and again under the M8 and R639, draining into the Munster Blackwater about 3.5 km (2 mi) downriver of Fermoy.</p><br>
<h2>Wildlife</h2><br>
<p>The River Funshion is a brown trout and salmon fishery.</p><br>
<p>Caucomgomoc Lake is in the North Maine Woods at the corner of townships 6 and 7 in ranges 14 and 15. Loon Stream flows into the southern end of the lake from Loon Lake, Bear Pond, Big Hurd Pond, Little Hurd Pond, Bear Brook Pond, McDougal Pond, and tributaries from the southwest. Overflow from Little Shallow Lake through Shallow Lake, Daggett Pond, and Round Pond enters the east side of Caucomgomoc Lake through Ciss Stream. Smaller tributaries Avery Brook, Middle Brook, and Ramsell Brook flow into the north end of the lake. There is a dam at the lake outlet on the eastern shore a short distance south of Ciss Stream. Discharge through the dam flows down Caucomgomoc Stream through Black Pond and Chesuncook Lake to the West Branch Penobscot River at Ripogenus Gorge. White perch and yellow perch have largely replaced historic trout populations in the lake.</p><br>

<p>The Pierson–Betts House is a historic residence located in Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. The house was built by Lewis B. Pierson, the long-time Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds for William Penn College. He built this modest, single-story, brick house in the 1930s as a place that he and his wife Lilly could retire. Instead of moving in, they sold the house to Laura Betts who was the librarian at Penn from 1937 to 1942. She was one of the few single females employed by the college at that time who could afford to buy a house of her own. It is believed she could do so only with financial help from her elderly mother who moved in with her. After Betts moved out, other Penn faculty lived here. It is Piersons and Betts association with the college in the context of the Quaker testimony in Oskaloosa that makes this house historic. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>Bedd-y-Cawr Hillfort, or Bedd y Cawr Hillfort, is an iron age hillfort on a natural inland promontory in the community of Cefnmeiriadog in Denbighshire in North Wales. The name of the hillfort translates from the Welsh as Giant&#39;s Tomb.</p><br>
<p>Bedd-y-Cawr Hillfort is a scheduled monument that lies approximately 3.3 km west of St Asaph and 2.5 mi north of Henllan.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The hillfort is sited at the end of the Cefn Meiriadog ridge of the Rhos Hills which offers views over the River Elwy valley in an area dominated by hillforts. The hillfort is roughly rectangular measuring approximately 156 m by 74 m with an area of 0.8 hectare and is defined by a ditch and bank to the north-west and the north-east with a simple entrance. On the sides on the west and east it is protected by natural outcrops of limestone.</p><br>
<h2>Recent history</h2><br>
<p>Bedd-y-Cawr was visited by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments in Wales and Monmouthshire in 1912 and Bedd-y-Cawr and designated as a scheduled monument in 1927.</p><br>
<p>The area of the designated site was expanded in 1998 (formerly just the interior was scheduled) and is classed as a defensive prehistoric hillfort.</p><br>
<p>Geographer 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 island has a teardrop shape, measuring 530 m from east to west and 560 m from north to south. The island is a low basalt cliff that reaches an elevation of only 37 m above sea level. There is an unnamed spit on the east side of the island and some unnamed holms off its shore. There is a large unnamed islet 115 m south of the island. The closest neighboring islands are Koner Island about 2 km to the north, Klöden Island 1.6 km to the west, and Deegen Island 2.2 km to the southeast. 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. This island is not named after a specific person, but after geographers in general.</p><br>
<p>The Jesse Andrew House is a historic building in West Lafayette, Indiana protected by the National Register of Historic Places because of its historic value in the time of the founding of the city. Its humble beginnings started as it was home of Jesse Andrew, a vibrant member of the early West Lafayette community. Mr. Andrews is considered to be one of the cities founders as he took a major part in the establishment of the government. The house was originally built in 1859 making it the oldest home and one of the oldest structures in the city. It went through major renovations in the 1930s, turning it into a duplex, before being sold out of the Andrew&#39;s family to a local rental company in the 1980s.</p><br>
<p>For the last 35 years the house has been called home by many college students, thankful for its historic value and proximity to campus. Current residents are four third year students at Purdue named Matthew Mills, Gregg Ray, and Ben Claywell. When interviewed about his dwelling place, Gregg responded, "Its a great place to live and so close to my classes, but I think my favorite part is knowing its history. I mean the building is almost 160 years old! How many great men and women have lived in this place? From Andrews to Will Claywell the home has definitely been apart of shaping the lives of many heroes. It is meaningful to me to be able to walk in the footsteps of these and many other great people." Fortunately, as the Jesse Andrew Home is protected as a National Historic landmark, Greggs experience will not end with him; maybe his children, or his children&#39;s children will too walk in the footsteps of the legends of old and will take part in the great making of history at the footsteps of the Purdue Memorial Union in Jesse Andrews House.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>"The Jesse Andrew House is significant as the oldest home extant in West Lafayette, and as the residence of one of the towns founders. A Greek Revival-style structure, built in 1859, this home remained in the Andrew family until 1982, and is one of few original structures remaining near the Purdue University campus. Jesse Andrew, Sr., the original owner of this house, was considered one of the most influential settlers in the area in the 1850s, One of 43 settlers who originally established the town government in 1866, Jesse Andrew also drew up the towns original plat. Both he and his son, Jesse Charles Andrew, who purchased this home in 1881, were prominent merchants in the community. As West Lafayette expanded, both men were responsible for platting important additions to the city. Subsequent owners of the home included Jesse Charles Andrews brother, Thomas, and his son, Joseph, both of whom achieved local prominence. Thomas M. Andrew was the organizer and first president of the Purdue State Bank (now Purdue National Bank), and also served as a member of the Indiana State Legislature in 1904. His son, Joseph H. Andrew, who later owned and occupied this structure, was active in the American Red Cross, and served on that organizations National Board of Governors. The current owners purchased the structure from the Andrew family in 1982, and recently completed an extensive renovation."</p><br>
<h2>Appearance and structural details</h2><br>
<p>"The Jesse Andrew Home is a two story Greek Revival structure located on the south side of West Lafayette, near the Purdue University campus. The home is basically an ell-shaped structure with a gable roof; a small, hip-roofed wing, possibly a later addition, projects from the rear facade. Constructed as a single-family residence in 1859, this structure was altered to provide two apartment units sometime in the 1930s. The main (east) facade of the home is a gable end wall three bays in width. On the ground floor level, the two southernmost bays contain two-over-two, double-hung windows with entablature hood molds. The third bay has been modified from the original configuration and now contains two separate entry doors, to provide private access to each of the apartments. A large wooden porch dating from the 1880s protects the ground floor level of this facade; this porch features square columns with molded capitals supporting a flat roof with a wide frieze decorated with dentils and a cyma recta cornice. The porch roof also serves as a deck for the second floor, and features a balustrade with simple square balusters and corner posts. On the second floor, the two exterior bays contain double-hung windows similar to those on the ground floor. The middle bay, located slightly south of center, originally contained a window, but was converted into a doorway in the 1880s to provide access to the porch roof deck. A raking cornice and frieze with returns decorates the gable area, and a triangular attic vent is located just below the gable peak. Window and cornice detailing throughout the rest of the house is similar to that employed on the main facade. The interior of the house was slightly modified when the house was divided into apartments in the 1930s. The walnut balustrade of the main stairway was removed and the stair enclosed with a partition wall in order to provide privacy for the upstairs apartment; the balustrade has been discovered in storage in the attic. The endwall fireplaces were also sealed at this time and remain inoperable. Asbestos shingle siding was applied to the exterior of the home sometime in the 1950s. The present owners, who purchased the home from the Andrew family in 1982, have recently completed a major renovation of the structure. Several termite-damaged structural members were replaced, and other floor joists were braced with concrete block piers. The roof decking was repaired and a new roof installed. Repairs were also made at this time to the porch, windows, side door, exterior moldings, and various other elements of the home."</p><br>

<p>The Hotel Cecil is an Art Deco hotel located on the south western corner of the intersection of Scarborough and Nerang Streets in Southport, Queensland, Australia. It has been recommended that it be added to the Queensland Heritage Register due to its rarity, high architectural value and contribution to the character of the street.</p><br>
<p>It is the largest privately owned building on the Southport Heritage Walk, a good example of a hotel built in the 1930s and a prominent landmark of social and historical significance to the community.</p><br>
<p>The current hotel is the second building on the site and is an integral part of an early twentieth century streetscape that includes the heritage listed Southport Town Hall, an earlier Ambulance Station and a number of buildings designed by the architect Thomas Ramsay Hall.</p><br>
<p>After over 100 years of operation, the Hotel Cecil, also referred to as the Cecil Hotel and B.DeMille&#39;s, is the oldest public house on the Gold Coast to maintain its original name throughout all its years of operation.</p><br>
<h2>History (1907 - 1937)</h2><br>
<p>Tenders for the construction of the original two storey wooden building on the site were called for in July 1907 with plans available for viewing at Stephens and Tozers offices at 240 Queen Street, Brisbane, Queensland. The building was constructed by Mr. D. J. Coulster with Mr. R. M. Pidd working as the leading hand. From early February 1908 the hotel was advertising for staff and, by early March 1908, it was welcoming guests and advertised as being newly erected&#39;.</p><br>
<p>The first proprietor and host of the Hotel Cecil was Mr. Harry Taylor, formerly a blacksmith at Nerang, Reservations for the hotel, which had capacity to accommodate 40 guests, could be made in advance by sending a postcard. The hotel offered a horse drawn buggy service that transported guests from the nearby Southport Railway Station on the South Coast railway line, Queensland to the hotel. In addition to guests intending to stay overnight, day trippers taking advantage of special excursion trains from the surrounding areas, could spend the day at Southport and dine at the Cecil Hotel before returning home in the evening.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was also the venue for significant functions including an official dinner for the Governor-General of India Edward Frederick Lindley Wood, 1st Earl of Halifax, in 1926. Other gatherings that took place included: balls, school reunions, meetings of the local Chamber of Commerce and fund raising events.</p><br>
<p>A number of prominent local people were associated with the Hotel Cecil including: Sidney Monkhouse, Mr Vincent, W. Austen, M. C. Gosling, W. J. Gorman and Cyril Hornibrook Culby.</p><br>
<h2>History (1938 - 1999)</h2><br>
<p>In June 1938 the then owners of the hotel, the Queensland Brewery Ltd, with the licensee Mr. Thomas Campbell Andrews, over saw the relocation of the original timber structure to another location on the same site prior to construction of a new two storey brick hotel. Andrews, a Southport businessman and bachelor originally from Mudgeeraba, had taken over the licence in 1936 and held it until his sudden death in 1939 a few months after the new building was completed.</p><br>
<p>The new hotel was designed by Addison and MacDonald, an architectural firm that was active between 1927 and 1947 that consisted of George Frederick Addison, the son and business partner of one of Brisbanes earliest architects George Henry Male Addison, and Herbert Stanley MacDonald formerly of Hall and Prentice. In addition to designing the Goondiwindi Civic Centre, the firm undertook work for both the Queensland Brewery Company and Castlemaine Perkins during this period, including the XXXX Brewery and the State Heritage Registered Castlemaine Perkins Building and Queensland Brewery Company Building. The architects reported that the Queensland Brewery Ltd, had given them a free hand in designing the palatial structure&#39; which was built by Mr. K. E. Morris of Brisbane.</p><br>
<p>Construction took four months and, in October 1938, the new saloon and public bars were officially open. The new Art Deco styled hotel was reported as having outstanding architectural features with a curved facade facing the corner of Scarborough and Nerang Streets with the name of the hotel in cement letters accented in red and pale green. Twenty guest rooms were located on the first floor with the bridal suite featuring a curved private balcony over looking the intersection below. The exterior of the building included brown and cream tiles with Venetian red bricks cut through with cream bands. The roofing tiles were multi-coloured Marseilles tiles. The interior decoration of the hotel was in red, green and autumnal tones and featured polished chromium strips and patterned sand blasted glass doors with seaside themed decorative elements.</p><br>
<p>After World War Two, the hotel was leased for twenty years to Claude and Hedwig Anna Slack (née Eschenhagen) after they ceased running a guest house in London and returned to Australia. The Eschenhagen family had a strong association with the hospitality industry in Queensland and were well respected early caterers and restaurateurs in Brisbane. Following her involvement with the Hotel Cecil, Mrs Slack retired in Southport.</p><br>
<h2>History (2000 - 2016)</h2><br>
<p>The hotel underwent a refurbishment in 2000 to create office and retail space which is leased to a variety of tennants. In 2014, the track for the Gold Coast Light Rail was constructed along the northern street and eastern frontages of the building. The main station for Southport is located opposite the hotel in the middle of Southport&#39;s central business district.</p><br>
<p>The Murch Family House is a historic house on Calderwood Neck in Vinalhaven, Maine. Built in 1855, it is the only granite house in a community long known for its granite quarries, and one of a relatively small number of documented stone houses in the state. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Vinalhaven occupies an eponymous island in Penobscot Bay, located on the central coast of Maine. The island has many deep indentations, two of which define its northeastern lobe, which is known as Calderwood Neck. The Murch House is located on the southeastern part of Calderwood Neck, overlooking the channel that separates it from Penobscot Island. The house is a 1-1/2 story Cape style structure, built out of ashlar granite blocks, and covered by a gabled roof. The front facade is three bays wide, with a pair of sash windows flanking the entrance, offset to the right side of the facade. The interior is divided into four rooms on the ground floor, with a central chimney. Stairs leading up to the attic space are located along the north wall, in the chamber accessed from the main entrance. Also on the property is a 19th-century barn. It is long rectangular timber-frame structure, with a saltbox profile, that is set on sloping terrain with a fully exposed granite block foundation at the rear.</p><br>
<p>Built about 1855, the house is the only documented granite dwelling on the island, which was well-known in the 19th century for its granite. At the time of its construction, the quarries were just beginning to be exploited. This house was built by William Murch, a local mason, using stone quarried from a nearby outcrop. The house was owned for many years by members of the Murch family, who were typically fishermen also engage in subsistence-level farming.</p><br>
<p>The Dinsmore Grain Company Mill is a historic early 20th-century mill building on Branch Mill Road in China, Maine. Built in 1914 on the site with nearly 100 years of industrial use, it was  a well-preserved and functional period water-powered grist mill and sawmill.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Dinsmore Mill is located just west of the village center of Palermo, Maine, across the town line in China. It is set astride the West Branch Sheepscot River, which drains Branch Pond to the north and is impounded by the dam located beneath the mill structure. The mill is a 2-1/2 story frame structure, rectangular in shape, covered by a gabled roof and wooden shingle siding. A three-story tower rises near the center of the southern (street-facing) facade; it is also capped by a gabled roof. The ground floor of the building houses the main works, which include a water-driven turbine and the milling equipment. A conveyor belt provides access to the upper floor, which was historically used for the storage of grain.</p><br>
<p>The first documented mill at this site was in operation in 1817, owned by Joseph Hacker. It was later taken over by Hacker&#39;s son-in-law, who partnered in 1879 with his son-in-law, Thomas Dinsmore. Dinsmore passed the mill on to his son, James R.B. Dinsmore. He is responsible for construction of the present building, after the older one was destroyed by fire (along with adjacent houses) in 1908. At first just a grist mill, it was expanded in 1935 by James Kenneth Dinsmore to again also function as a sawmill. The mill operated until 1960.</p><br>
<p>The mill has in the 2010s been the source of some local controversy. The main building has deteriorated, and the dam underneath has been unable to support the consistently high levels of water desired by the owners of waterfront on Branch Pond and mandated by the states Department of Environmental Protection. As of early 2016, the mill owners, who want to restore it to operation as a museum, are at an impasse with local and state authorities, as they claim to be unable to lower the water levels sufficiently to effect needed repairs on the dam. Structural instability due to the buildings deteriorated condition will make such repair work difficult and potentially dangerous.</p><br>
<p>The Oskaloosa Monthly Meeting of Friends Parsonage is a historic residence located in Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. Its association with nearby William Penn College in the context of the Quaker testimony in Oskaloosa that makes this house historic. The countrys entry into World War I created problems for the Quakers Peace Testimony. The Oskaloosa Monthly Meeting counseled students from the college about military conscription and pacifism. Because of this the parsonage was vandalized in 1917 with yellow crosses painted on the house. The congregation&#39;s pastor, the Rev. Clarence Pickett, was tied to a spring wagon and led through town. Some vandalism also occurred during World War II, including yellow paint smeared on the parsonage.</p><br>
<p>The house is a two-story frame structure that is covered with stucco. It was designed in the Prairie School style by Bloomington, Illinois architect A.T. Simmons. He designed the neighboring Iowa Yearly Meeting House-College Avenue Friends Church three years previous. Completed in 1915, it is a single-family house that features a gable-end facade, concrete block foundation, several ribbon windows, and a wrap-around front porch with a gable-end roof. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>The Presidents Cottage is a historic residence located in Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. From 1892, when it was built, to 1918 this structure housed the president of William Penn College. It highlights the schools improved finances at the time of its construction, the importance it placed on its leadership, and its association with the Quaker testimony in Oskaloosa, which makes this house historic. The placement of the house on a corner lot at the end of College Avenue gave the campus a linear feel in the "Yale Row" concept of college design. Absalom Rosenberger and David M. Edwards and their families lived here during their presidencies. H. Edwin McGrew did not live in the house, and it is not certain whether some of the presidents lived here either because they already had homes in Oskaloosa. The college subsequently sold the house and it now serves as a private residence. The 2½-story frame structure features Queen Anne influences, a wrap-around front porch, and a gable-end roof with intersecting gables. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>The Maj. James W. McMullin House is a historic residence located in Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. McMullin received his commission in the army during the American Civil War. He returned to Oskaloosa after his service where he established a successful transport and livery business that served Mahaska County&#39;s coal industry. McMullin meant for his Queen Anne style home to be a showplace. It was designed by an unknown architect to be built of brick, but because of price gouging by local brick dealers he chose to have his home built of wood instead. Structurally, the house has a balloon frame covered with clapboards. It features an asymmetrical plan, a wrap-around porch, and bay windows. The interior is noteworthy for its woodwork and exuberant plasterwork. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The John H. Shoemake House, also known as the Shoemake-Muhl House, is a historic residence located in Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. A native of Tennessee, Shoemake was a local businessman and local politician who settled in Mahaska County from Illinois in 1848. He had this two-story brick residence built in 1852 at a time when most houses in the area were built of wood. It follows the I-house plan, and it features Federal style elements that are found in the stepped gables, the massing of chimneys in pairs, and its overall symmetry. It was built with a flat roof, which was not unusual in Oskaloosa at the time. The gable roof was added sometime after 1869. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The John K. Voorhees House is a historic residence located northwest of Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. A native of Warren County, Ohio, Voorhees settled in Mahaska County in 1853. He owned 400 acre, and was considered a leading farmer in the county. He was known for his horses and Black Angus cattle. Voorhees had this house built in 1871, and he supervised the work that was done by masons and carpenters. It is a combination of the Italianate and Second Empire styles. The 2½-story, brick structure follows a T-plan. It features a mansard roof, bracketed eaves, limestone quoins on the front, brick quoins on the back, and a full sized wrap-around front porch. The east section of the porch and the balustrades on top had been removed. They have subsequently been recreated. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The River Camoge or Camogue  is a river in Munster, Ireland, a tributary of the Maigue, which is itself a Shannon tributary.</p><br>
<h2>Course</h2><br>
<p>The River Camogue rises in County Tipperary near Emly. It enters County Limerick and is bridged by the R513 and R516 outside Hospital, and meets the Mahore River. It flows northwards through Herbertstown and then turns westwards, flowing under the R514, R512 and R511 before entering Greybridge, where it gives its name to the Camogue Rovers GAA club. The Camogue flows on under the R516 and drains into the Maigue in Anhid East, about 1 mi upriver of Croom.</p><br>
<h2>Wildlife</h2><br>
<p>The River Camogue is a brown trout fishery. Slurry pollution caused a major fish kill in 2015. It was formerly famous for the "Camogue Eels", sold in London as long ago as the 12th century.</p><br>
<p>Upper Richardson Lake and Lower Richardson Lake are impounded as a single reservoir by Middle Dam at the outlet to Rapid River on the western shore of the lower lake. Rapid River flows 5 mi to Umbagog Lake headwaters of the Androscoggin River. Upper Richardson Lake is in the western portion of Richardsontown township, and the lower lake is on the border of Magalloway Plantation and Maine township C. Primary inflow is discharge over Upper Dam on Mooselookmeguntic Lake on the eastern shore of the upper lake. Smaller tributaries entering the north end of the upper lake include Mill Brook draining the Richardson Ponds, Fish Brook draining Fish Pond, and Beaver Brook draining Beaver Pond, Little Beaver Pond, and Aziscohos Pond. Other small tributaries include Rand Brook on the western shore, and Mosquito Brook, Metallak Brook, and Bailey Brook on the eastern shore. The lake offers excellent habitat for adult trout, but with dams on the outlet and major inlet, fish populations are limited by the insufficient spawning and nursery areas of these small tributaries. The public boat launch area at the north end of the upper lake is 1 mi off Maine State Route 16; and the boat launch area at the south end of the lower lake is accessed by driving 12 mi north of Andover on South Arm Road.</p><br>

<p>The Sun Temple of Sogamoso was a temple constructed by the Muisca as a place of worship for their Sun god Sué. The temple was built in Sogamoso, Colombia, then part of the Muisca Confederation and called Sugamuxi. It was the most important temple in the religion of the Muisca. The temple was destroyed by fire brought by the Spanish conquistadores led by Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada who was eager to find the legendary El Dorado. A reconstruction has been built in the Archeology Museum of Sogamoso.</p><br>
<h2>Structure and worship</h2><br>
<p>The Temple of the Sun was built on the right banks of the small river Monquirá. The temple was a big round structure made of poles and clay with a roof made of reed. The temple did not have any windows. The columns surrounding the temple were built in three concentric rings made of wood harvested in Casanare. The temple represented the cosmos and was built to honour Sun god Sué. The temple also was a burial ground for the most important caciques and priests (Chibcha: ogques).</p><br>
<p>The Muisca has a decent knowledge of astronomy and constructed various sites across their territories. El Infiernito, just outside Villa de Leyva has survived. The Sun Temple was constructed according to the positions of the Sun.</p><br>
<p>At the temple rituals were organised by the caciques and zaques of the Muisca Confederation. The mythological Idacansás held gatherings where children (moxas) were sacrificed. He made the city of Sugamuxi a sacred place. Mythical Thomagata was believed to travel each night between Tunja and the temple, a march he repeated ten times per night.</p><br>
<h3>Destruction</h3><br>
<p>Spanish conquistador Jiménez de Quesada heard of the Sun Temple and entered Sogamoso in early September 1537. He arrived in the afternoon and decided to wait till next morning to take the cacique of Sugamuxi out of the temple.</p><br>
<p>Curious to see the treasures in the temple, two of his soldiers, Miguel Sánchez and Juan Rodríguez Parra went to the sacred place on the night of September 4th, lighting their way with torches. When they entered the temple they found rich ornaments and mummies of ancient nobles. While they were collecting parts of the treasures of the temple the accidentally set fire to it with their torches destroying the temple.</p><br>
<h3>Reconstruction</h3><br>
<p>In 1942 archeologist Eliécer Silva Celis uncovered a Muisca cemetery in Sogamoso. The cemetery contained tombs of indigenous Muisca with mummies still preserved. Based on his archeological findings he was able to locate the original site of the temple and decided to reconstruct it.</p><br>
<p>The replica of the temple is 18 m high. The symbols in the dome tell the story of the creation of the Earth by Chiminigagua, the Supreme Being of the Muisca. The small openings on the sides serve as a calendar; every year on December 22nd the sunlight falls right on the central pillar. Around the temple the cemetery with mummies, that were originally displayed inside the temple, is reconstructed. Today the temple is part of the Archeology Museum of Sogamoso, governed by the Pedagogical and Technological University of Colombia based in Tunja.</p><br>

<p>One of the coastal islands, Igdluluarssuk (Sattiaatteq) at the entrance of the fjord on its southern side, had had the northernmost Inuit settlement of the southern group on the east coast in the recent past.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Thorland is surrounded to the northeast by the Bernstorff Fjord —across which lies the Odinland Peninsula, to the east by the Irminger Sea and to the southwest by the Northern Skjoldungen Fjord. To the west and the northwest the peninsula is attached to the mainland. The southern part has a deeply indented coast dividing into three narrow arms jutting southeastwards with deep fjords between them, including the Graah Fjord, Jaette Fjord and Kangerdlikajik. Several glaciers pour into the Bernstorff Fjord from the northern side of the peninsula, the most important of which are Storebjørn, Tjalfe Glacier and Røskva Glacier, while the Jomfruen in the west has its terminus in the Norrevig, an offshoot of the Northern Skjoldungen Fjord.</p><br>
<p>There are several islands at the mouth of the fjords at the eastern end of the peninsula the largest of which are Tupikajik, Akorninarmiut, Imaarsivik, Kiasigssaq, Qiputalik, Nappat, Qeertartivaq and Igdluluarssuk (Sattiaatteq) where there are Paleo-Eskimo archaeological sites.</p><br>
<h3>Mountains</h3><br>
<p>This desolate peninsula is a destination for mountain climbing owing to some of its sturdy granite walls and jagged peaks. Its highest point is 1,916 m high Ansbjerg, a nunatak rising above the Norrevig in the SW at 63&deg;34&prime;35&Prime;N latitude, 41&deg;40&prime;5&Prime;W longitude. Other notable summits are Kokkefars Hat, a conspicuous 996 m high peak at 63&deg;27&prime;5&Prime;N latitude, 41&deg;33&prime;25&Prime;W longitude in the southernmost arm of the peninsula, Hvidbræmmen, a 1,304 m high peak in the northern side of Thorland, Hvide Telt, Hakkefjeld, Hanekammen and Rypefjeldet.</p><br>
<p>In Thorland there are several nunataks besides Ansbjerg, such as Akuliaruseq, Diabastoppen, Skønheden and Strudsen. Svartalfbjerg is a mountain on the west side of the Storebjørn Glacier.</p><br>
<p>Koner 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 island is elongated, measuring 1.5 km in a north-south direction and no more than 200 m in width. The island is a low basalt cliff that reaches an elevation of only 27 m above sea level. The closest neighboring islands are Lange Island about 4 km to the northwest and Geographer Island about 2 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. This island is named after the German geographer Wilhelm Koner (1817–1887).</p><br>
<p>Sharps Run is a 4.04 mi stream that drains into the Southwest Branch Rancocas Creek, in Burlington County, New Jersey. It drains an area of 4.41 square miles.</p><br>
<p>Sharps Run starts in Evesham Township, and flows eastward into Medford Township. Sharps Run has been defined as a low-gradient stream. In recent years, Sharps Run has improved in water quality.</p><br>
<p>Sharps Run&#39;s headwaters lie in Evesham Township, near N. Elmwood Road, and its confluence with Southwest Branch Rancocas Creek is in Medford Township. Sharps Run is generally a slow-flowing river, but has been known to flood and flow rapidly during rain. It drains mostly a suburban/rural area, with plenty of woodlands and agriculture.</p><br>
<p>Freshwater emergent wetlands and freshwater forested wetlands can be found along Sharps Run. Because of marl excavations in the past, there are still some pits that have filled with water and are now wetlands.</p><br>
<p>The elevation ranges from about 55 to 60 ft feet at the start of the river, and 20 ft at the mouth, though the tributaries have higher elevations near the headwaters.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The name "Sharps Run" has been attributed to maps as early as the early/mid 19th century. Along the banks of the river was much farmland, as well as marl excavations. Sharps Run marl was used very much in the 19th century, and contributed to the wealth of the farming industry in the area, as the marl was used for fertilizing purposes to give health to the soil. There have not been any major accidents or chemical spills along the river.</p><br>
<h2>Conservation</h2><br>
<p>The Barton Arboretum is a reserve in Medford Township, near the mouth of Sharps Run, that has protected some of the forests and floodplains along the river, near County Route 541 and Route 70. There are trails along the river here. The riparian buffer zone of Sharps Run, despite recent developments near the river, has remained a healthy size.</p><br>
<h2>Water quality</h2><br>
<p>Sharps Run has had problems with fecal coliform and pathogens in the past, mostly due to non-point sources such as excessive goose populations and wastes, and agricultural runoff. Sharps Run also has a problem with phosphorus, and this can also be said to have come from non-point sources. There are some farms near the banks of the river, and fertilizers used on these farms run off into the river.</p><br>
<h2>Tributaries</h2><br>
<p>There are no named tributaries, but Sharps Run has many smaller tributaries throughout its watershed. Along the headwaters of Sharps Run, especially, there are many tributaries.</p><br>
<p>The Captain Merritt House is a historic house at 619 High Street in Bath, Maine. Built in 1851 for a ship&#39;s captain, its lavish Italianate styling epitomizes the wealth that came to the city in the mid-19th century. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Captain Merritt House is located on the east side of High Street, which runs on the hill above the city&#39;s shipyards, and was in the 19th century a fashionable residential area. The house is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a shallow-pitch hip roof and shiplap siding. The building corners are quoined, and the roof is pierced by hip-roof dormers. The main entrance is set at the center of the west-facing front facade, sheltered by a portico supported by paired Doric columns. A polygonal window bay projects above the portico. The south facade has a two-story projecting rectangular bay. The interior retains much of its original period woodwork, the dining room having been remodeled c. 1900 in the Colonial Revival style.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1851 for Captain Isaac Merritt, a shipbuilder and owner, whose brother Samuel Merritt, was also a successful businessman. Merritt moved to California in 1880, joining his brother, and the house was sold to William Rogers, another shipbuilder. The houses fine exterior and interior are symbolic of the citys success and significance as a shipbuilding and shipping center in the mid-19th century.</p><br>
<p>The Doughty Block is a historic commercial building at 265 Water Street in downtown Augusta, Maine. Built in 1890, it is the downtown&#39;s only example of a 19th-century high rise. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Doughty Block stands in Augusta&#39;s downtown commercial district, on the east side of Water Street, opposite the Key Plaza just north of Front Street. It is a six story masonry structure, noticeably taller than the other 19th-century buildings lining the east side of Water Street. It is built out of red brick with stone trim. The front facade is three bays wide, with a modern storefront (c. 1970) on the ground floor. The upper levels are divided by stone stringcourses, emphasizing the building horizontally, and its windows are set in round-arch openings, whose voussoirs alternate between stone and brick. It has a project cornice at the top, studded with a combination of Italianate brackets and modillions.</p><br>
<p>The block was built in 1890 for Charles Doughty by Charles Fletcher, a prominent local builder. The building&#39;s styling is somewhat retardaire, as the Italianate was out of fashion when it was built. However, the styling of the windows gives it a suggestion of Renaissance style, which was then coming into fashion.</p><br>
<p>Scopan Lake is a "V" shaped lake in northern Maine. The lake was known as Squa Pan Lake by early European settlers, but was renamed in 2011 to eliminate what Native Americans in the United States interpreted as a racial slur. The lake is mostly in Scopan township , but the north end of the eastern arm of the "V" extends into Maine township 11, range 4; and the north end of the western arm extends into Masardis and Ashland. The lake discharges to Scopan Stream  through a dam in Masardis. Scopan Stream flows into the Aroostook River 4 mi downstream of the dam, and the Aroostook River is a tributary to the Saint John River. The Bangor and Aroostook Railroad crosses the northern tip of both arms of the lake.</p><br>
<h2>Recreation</h2><br>
<p>The dam created the shallow western arm of the lake and increased the depth of the original lake forming the eastern arm. The lake is drawn down every winter to generate hydroelectric power. The dam prevents migration from downstream, but brook trout and rainbow smelt spawn in tributaries Nowland Brook, Bogan Brook, Aluson Brook, Dunn Brook, Cold Spring Brook, West Branch, and Scopan Inlet (formerly Squa Pan Inlet.) Boat launching facilities are available for public use at the dam and at the north end of the eastern arm 3 mi south of Maine State Route 163. The eastern shore of the eastern arm is a 16,700 acre reserve of public land available for fishing, hunting, birding and camping.</p><br>
