<p>The Dutton-Small House is a historic house on Bog Road in Vassalboro, Maine. Built about 1825, it is one of the rural community&#39;s oldest buildings, and one of its only brick houses. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The house stands in rural central Vassalboro, on the north side of Bog Road, a short way west of its junction with Weber Pond Road. It is a 2-1/2 story brick structure, with a side gable roof and end chimneys. Its main facade is five bays wide, with sash windows set in rectangular openings, and the centered entrance flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a Federal style semi-oval fan. An ell extends to the rear, and a second ell extends right (east) from that one, not quite reaching to the property&#39;s 19th-century barn. The interior of the house is arranged in an unusual variant of the center hall plan. It has a narrow central stair, and the hall does not extend to the back of the house. Instead, the stair is flanked by parlor and living room, with a large chamber extending across the back of the main block. It retains original Federal period woodwork that is relatively modest in style.</p><br>
<p>The house was probably built in 1825, a date found on the staircase&#39;s newel post cap. The builder, John Dutton, was a local real estate speculator who purchased the land on which it stands in 1815. He sold it, with house, in 1832 to Ezekial Small. It is one of the few brick houses in the community, and the most intact of those from the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The Clough Meeting House, also known as the Second Free Will Baptist Church, is a historic church at 32 South Lisbon Road in Lewiston, Maine. Built in 1846 for a Free Will Baptist congregation, it is notable for its "reverse plan" layout , and its distinctive grain-painted interior. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Clough Meeting House is located in a lightly developed part of southern Lewiston, on the north side of South Lisbon Road, across the street from the Clough Cemetery. It is a modest vernacular single-story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboard siding. Its main facade has two symmetrically placed entrances, flanking a raised sash window, and the side elevations have three windows each. The entrances lead into separate vestibules, which are separated by the raised area housing the pulpit. From these entrance is gained to the main hall, which occupies the rest of the building. At the rear wall is a "singing stand" (functionally a choir loft), another raised platform framed by wood paneling. Most of the hall is taken up by bench pews, which are arrayed facing the front of the building. The pulpit is set in an alcove between the vestibules, which is finished with a plastered cove ceiling. Some elements of the interior have been painted to resemble finer wood grain finish, while others have been smoke painted, which also gives a grainy appearance.</p><br>
<p>The meeting house was built in 1846 by Henry Garcelon, a local farmer. It is one of a small number of churches known in the state that was originally designed with the reverse plan layout in mind, a form preferred by the Free Will Baptists at that time. It is equally notable for the well-preserved interior painting; the smoke painting on the stairs leading to the front and rear platforms is unknown elsewhere in the state. The congregation&#39;s records, now preserved by the Androscoggin County Historical Society, document the specifications to which the church was built.</p><br>
<p>Regular services were held at the meeting house until about 1917, after which it was sold to the Clough Cemetery Association, which now maintains the building.</p><br>
<p>The Watkins School is a historic school building at 26 Watkins Street in Rutland, Vermont. Built in 1897, it is a high quality local example of Colonial Revival architecture, and a fine example of a period graded school. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. It has been converted to residential use.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Watkins School building is located in western Rutland, on the east side of Watkins Street between State and West Streets. It is a 2-1/2 story brick building, covered by a complex hip roof with flared eaves and exposed rafter ends. It rests on a stone foundation, and has marble trim elements. The main facade is three bays wide, with the entrance in the projecting left bay, recessed in an opening framed by pilasters and round pillars, with a corniced entablature above. The windows on the second level are set in round-arch openings, that above the entrance elongated and set in a recessed panel. Belt courses of marble separate the levels of the building.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1897, during a period after the citys 1892 incorporation where several new schools were built. It was designed by the Boston, Massachusetts firm of Stickney and Austin, and is a high-quality and distinctive contribution to the citys architecture. At the time of its construction, the surround residential neighborhood was only partially developed, and Watkins Street had recently been laid out. It was used as a public school until about 1959, and as a private special needs school in the 1960s. The building lot was used as a school bus storage lot beginning in the 1970s, with an underground fuel tank and service pumps installed, and a service garage added later. These facilities have all since been removed, and the building now houses low-income residential units.</p><br>
<p>Medard is an artificial lake  in the Karlovy Vary Region of the Czech Republic, northwest of Sokolov, near Svatava and Habartov. The lake was created by flooding the former coal mine called Medard-Libík. The lake&#39;s surface area stretches 493 ha, its maximum depth is 50 m and the capacity is approximately 50 mil. m. It is the largest lake in the Czech Republic.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Five villages disappeared due to mining: Čistá u Svatavy, Dvory, Kolonie Hahnemannova, Kytlice, Lísková.</p><br>
<h3>Termination of mining</h3><br>
<p>In 2000, the mining of brown coal in Medard-Libík ceased and the quarry was closed.</p><br>
<h3>Watering</h3><br>
<p>Filling the lake began in June 2008 when Sokolovská uhelná has ceased to draw mine water from retention and completed Medard gross technical reclamation of the future lake bottom. Since 2010, the lake is filled with water from the River Ohře. Filling building stands near the village Citice at the narrowest point between the river Eger and future lake.</p><br>
<h3>Additional coal mining</h3><br>
<p>Since 2012, Sokolovská uhelná additionally mined coal near Svatava for reasons of firming shore. Reclamation and filling the lake is not interrupted.</p><br>

<p>The Eisenhower Bridge is located east of Milton, Iowa, United States. It carries traffic on 252nd Street over the Fox River for 197 ft. The supervisors from Des Moines and Lee counties met on September 7, 1887 to view the location of a new bridge between the two counties over the Skunk River on the Burlington-Fort Madison Road. Financing delayed building the new bridge. They determined that Des Moines County would pay three-fifths of the costs and Lee County the remainder. Chicago engineer Horace B. Horton designed the Pratt truss, and it was built by the James B. Diver Bridge Company of Keokuk, Iowa. The Walker&#39;s Ferry Bridge was originally a two-span structure, and it was completed for $9,435. It was replaced with another bridge in 1930, and one of the spans was relocated to this location. Known locally as the Eisenhower Bridge, it replaced an 1895 span that was washed out in a flood. While it lost some of its historical integrity, it remains an example of early wagon bridge construction. It is also one of the few iron truss bridges remaining in Iowa, and it was designed by a prominent bridge engineer. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Kilbourn Bridge is located just south of Kilbourn, Iowa, United States. It carried traffic on Lark Avenue over the Des Moines River for 855 ft. In 1890 the Van Buren County Board of Supervisors contracted with the Western Bridge Company of Chicago to build a bridge at the Kilbourn ferry crossing. It was destroyed in a flood in 1903. The Board of Supervisors put off replacing the bridge until 1907, and then all the proposals came over the $20,000 limit. The following the year they removed the limit. The six-span bridge was designed by the Iowa State Highway Commission , and built by the Ottumwa Supply and Construction Company of Ottumwa, Iowa. It was the first large-scale engineering project undertaken by the newly formed ISHC. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Abner Martin House, also known as The Pat Murphy Place, is a historic residence located south of Mount Zion, Iowa, United States. Abner Martin was a farmer and an early settler in Van Buren County. He originally arrived in Van Buren County in 1836. Abner & Lousia Martin began building the home in 1856 and completed construction in 1858. Abner Martin is said to have gone to California during the gold rush and obtained sufficient gold to return to Iowa and build his brick home. The house has a 3-foot-thick foundation, and all bricks were made on the property. A "tally brick" which told how many bricks were made in a specific day was found on the property. It reads 2,118.</p><br>
<p>The house&#39;s historical significance is found in its architecture. The vernacular style structure is influenced by the Federal style. Those influences are found in its long facade wall, and its lack of cornice returns. The two-story, brick house also features a low-pitched roof, which is rare in the county. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The original home and farm consisted of 160 acres, the home retains 13 of those original acres with the current property owners.</p><br>
<p>Mrs. Perry Trible stated, in a 1935 interview, that her and others would hold parties at the Abner Martin House during the Civil War. Some people thought these were secret meetings. Some even went so far as to call the attendees "copperheads". Mrs Perry Trible recounted one particular instance when having a party at the Abner Martin House involving a Mr. Orth and Mrs. Martin. Mr. Orth, whose stature was slight, was designated to make osculatory advances to Mrs Martin whose stature was anything but slight. Mr Orth was disappointed according to Mrs. Perry Trible&#39;s story. The parties or secret meetings were actually nothing more than mostly harmless kissing games. The secret meetings and assumption of being "copperheads" was likely due to the Martins being life long Democrats which may have opposed the Republican lead Civil War with the South.</p><br>
<p>Dick and Oneita Fisher purchased the Abner Martin House in 1973 from Jerry Hootman. It had been unoccupied for several years and in a dilapidated condition. The Bordman Sherod family owned the house for years, and their daughter Blanche and her husband, E. N. (Pat) Murphy, were the last occupants before the Fishers moved in. The Fishers began restoring the home in 1975 while living in the home and were the applicants to place the Abner Martin House on the National Register of Historic Places. The Fishers did most of the work themselves which for them was a labor of love. Dick and Oneita Fisher completed restoration on the home and continued to live in the house into the 1980&#39;s but did have to tear down a carriage barn on the property. The Abner Martin House was included on several tours with the local historical societies in the area of both Bentonsport and Keosauqua.</p><br>
<p>After the Fishers, the Abner Martin House again fell into disrepair over the years until it was purchased by Jim & Teresa Huffman in 2006. The Huffmans later began and completed a large restoration project at the house; updating and replacing all interior and exterior structure and materials. The house is currently restored and well maintained on the 13 acres of wooded land.</p><br>
<p>The Franklin Pearson House is a historic house located on Dodge Street in Keosauqua, Iowa.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Pearson was a Maryland native who settled in Iowa in 1835 after it was opened to settlement. He was a master stone mason who built this house and other structures in southeastern Iowa, including Old Main at Iowa Wesleyan University. He was a devout Methodist who hosted services on the upper floor of his house. Pearson was also an abolitionist and involved with the Underground Railroad. The two-story structure was built in 1845, and is a rare vernacular Georgian style house in Iowa. Pearson imported the style from his native Maryland. The exterior of the first story is stone while the second is brick. A tornado destroyed the chimneys and most of the brick from the east wall. It was rebuilt using brick from a church that had been destroyed in the same storm.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 22, 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Clarksville National Guard Armory is a historic former National Guard Armory at 309 College Street in Clarksville, Arkansas. It is a two-story building, finished in brick with restrained Art Deco styling. Its main facade is 10 bays wide, with a projecting section at the center housing two bays on the upper floor, and a double door entrance on the first. The entrance is set in a stepped recess, and it and the windows above are flanked by brick pilasters at the corner of the projection. The building was built in 1930, and served the Arkansas National Guard as a training and storage facility until 1980, after which ownership was turned over to the city.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<p>Midway Stock Farm Barn is a historic building located north of Keosauqua, Iowa, United States. The barn was built by William A. Barker around 1880. It gained historical significance when his son Webb installed equipment made by the Louden Machinery Company of Fairfield, Iowa. By doing so he converted the facility from one that raised livestock to a dairy operation. Around 1918 Barker built an addition onto the south side of the barn and installed a litter carrier with tracks and switches on the ground floor, a hay carrier with a steel track and grapple hook hay fork also on the main floor, and a metal aerator on the roof. It is one of few local operations that still has the Louden equipment. The barn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The Voltaire Twombley Building is a historic building located in Keosauqua, Iowa, United States. The two-story structure is a good example of 19th-century vernacular commercial design constructed in limestone. it is the largest example of stone construction that remains in Van Buren County. While it was built in the 1870s, it is more reminiscent of similar buildings constructed in the 1840s and 1850s. The only thing that differentiates these rectangular, front gable structures from a house or a school is the first floor storefront. Keosauqua had several stone commercial buildings at one time, but now they are all brick but this one. The building is associated with Voltaire P. Twombly, who was awarded the Medal of Honor for bravery at the Battle of Fort Donelson during the American Civil War. He operated a dry goods and grocery business in this building beginning in 1876. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>Vernon School is a historic building located in the unincorporated community of Vernon, Iowa, United States. Vernon was established as South Bentonsport in 1837. It received its present name with the establishment of a post office in 1852. Citizens began the process of establishing a public school in May 1866. They acquired the land in January of the following year. Riley Cass, who was probably a local builder, provided the plans for the building and was chosen to oversee its construction. The design itself was more than likely from a pattern book. Construction proceeded slowly as funds became available. Although it was substantially completed earlier, as late as 1873 the school board was still hiring workers to do finishing work. The two-story, brick Italianate building features a low pitch roof, bracketed eaves, a square bell tower, and a fanlight over the main entrance. School district consolidation began in Van Buren County in 1957 and culminated two years later with the creation of three districts. The Vernon School held its last classes in 1960. The building, which had always been used as a community center was a polling place until 1984. It is the only 19th-century brick public school building left in the county. The former school building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>The Burg Wagon Works Building is a historic building located in Farmington, Iowa, United States. A native of Bavaria, Lewis Burg settled in Burlington, Iowa 1853 where joined his brother John&#39;s wagon works. He moved to Farmington and set up his own shop in 1865. He had this two-story stone building constructed from 1867 to 1868. By 1869 he had competition in town, but he maintained the largest shop nearly doubling his production in the next ten years. Burg sold the building in 1892, and is thought to have moved to Dallas City, Illinois to manufacture automobiles. The building has been used for a variety of purposes over the years. Apartments were built on the second floor around the turn of the 20th-century. The first floor has housed different mercantile businesses. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>Kangerluluk, old spelling Kangerdluluk, meaning the awful fjord, is a fjord in the King Frederick VI Coast, Kujalleq municipality, southern Greenland.</p><br>
<p>Deposits of rare minerals have been found in this fjord, as well as in neighbouring Igutsaat Fjord.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Kangerluluk extends in a roughly east/west direction for about 65 km between Igutsaat Fjord to the north and Iluileq Fjord (Danell Fjord) to the south. To the east the fjord opens into the North Atlantic Ocean between Cape Fischer and the island of Qajartalik, also named Qeqertatsiaq. The fjord has a large active glacier at its head and is frequently blocked by ice.</p><br>
<p>Kangerluluk has four short branches on its southern coast. On the northern shore the Syenitbugt is a bay with an islet, located about 11 km from the fjord&#39;s mouth.</p><br>
<h3>Mountains</h3><br>
<p>There are high mountains on the sides of the fjord, a craggy group known as the Kangerluluk Range (Kangerluluk Bjerge) rises to a height of 1,291 m on the northern side about 15 km within the fjord and continues westwards culminating in a massive ultra-prominent peak at 61&deg;9&prime;7&Prime;N latitude, 43&deg;44&prime;51&Prime;W longitude towering to a height of 2,020 m above the glaciers at the head of the fjord.</p><br>

<p>The Tito Bustillo Cave is a prehistoric rock shelter located in the small town of Ribadesella, in the autonomous community of Asturias, Spain. The cave was inhabited by humans  before the year 10,000 BC. Due to the collapse of the rock, the original entrance to the cave was sealed thousands of years ago, which made it possible for preservation of objects, tools and wall paintings that were discovered in 1968. Based on those objects found in the cave, it is known that there was a significant human presence during the Magdalenian culture of the Upper Palaeolithic, but the cave was probably inhabited before that time.</p><br>
<p>The Tito Bustillo Cave has been designated a World Heritage Site, as part of the Cave of Altamira and Paleolithic Cave Art of Northern Spain, and it counts with 12 prehistorical paintings, making it one of the most complete examples of the prehistoric art in the north of Spain. The oldest of these paintings is around 40,000 years old, as determined by radiocarbon dating, and some scientists believe it could have been made by Neanderthals, though this theory hasn&#39;t been proven.</p><br>
<p>Some of the paintings represent animals: horses, deer, moose and even a marine animal (probably a whale) and they are believed to have had some kind of ritual purpose to improve their hunting. There is also a panel representing female genitalia and it is believed to have had the intention to invoke fertility. The oldest painting in the cave represents an anthropomorphic figure, part male, part female.</p><br>
<p>Apart from the paintings, some objects from the Magdalenian period were perfectly preserved. The most important ones are some harpoons made of bone and a carved staghorn of a goat head.</p><br>
<p>The Mill Cove School, also known as the Littlefield School House, is a historic school building on Berrys Mill Road in West Bath, Maine. Built about 1853, it is the town&#39;s last surviving unaltered district school house. It underwent restoration in the early 2000s, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Mill Cove School is locate near the geographic center of West Bath, on the west side of Berrys Mill Road, one of the community&#39;s major north-south routes, about 0.1 mi south of its junction with Hill Road. It is a single-story wood frame structure, with a tall pitched gabled roof and clapboard siding. The building is oriented facing south, with the roof gable parallel to the road. Its main facade consists of a pair of sash windows flanking a center entrance, all with simple framed surrounds. The side facing the street has three sash windows, while the west side has a projecting outhouse ell. The interior retains some 19th-century fixtures and trim, including a blackboard.</p><br>
<p>The school was built about 1853, for use in the Mill Cove District, which had been in existence since the 1770s, when the area was still part of Bath. West Bath had as many as four school districts, and this school is the only one to surviving without significant alteration. It remained in service as a municipal school until 1946. From 1946 until 1975 it was used as a clubhouse by the West Bath Men&#39;s Club, and was then abandoned. The town sought its demolition beginning in 1998, but local outcry resulted in the formation of a nonprofit dedicated to its care and restoration.</p><br>
<p>The Wells Village School is a public school serving grades K through 6 in Wells, Vermont. Built about 1899, it is a fine and imposing local example of Colonial Revival architecture, designed to meet the latest school standards of the time. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Wells Village School is located on the west side of the main village of Wells, on the north side of Main Street (Vermont Route 30). It is a long rectangular two-story wood frame building, with hip-roofed end sections at either end of a central gabled section. The front-facing hipped section is fronted by a two-story gabled vestibule, with the main entrance set in a round-arch opening at its base. The front hip section is topped by a square turret with a pyramidal roof and an open belfry.</p><br>
<p>The school was built by the town in about 1899, in order to improve the town&#39;s school facilities and merge two district schools. It originally had two classrooms on the ground floor, and an open meeting space with stage on the upper floor, which could be used for town meetings. The building has undergone several alterations over the years, due to changing state requirements for schools. Additional windows and fire exits were added in the early decades of the 20th century. In 1987 the rear addition was added to the building, and the upstairs space was converted into two classrooms.</p><br>

<p>The Forthmann Carriage House, is a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument  located in Angelino Heights, Los Angeles, California. It is a 1,000 sq. ft. Victorian style carriage house built 1882, designed by Burgess J. Reeve. It was relocated in March 2006 from its original location at 629 West 18th Street. Los Angeles, California to its current location at 812 E Edgeware Rd. Los Angeles, California. The relocation was made possible thanks to the efforts of Barbara Behm, an independent developer who restored many properties in Angeleno Heights.</p><br>
<p>Sometime in the 1880s, Burgess J. Reeve designed a 4,200 square foot, eleven-room Victorian mansion for John A. Forthmann. Forthmann, a German immigrant, had made his money from founding and running the Los Angeles Soap Co. The business, most famous for its White King brand (“It takes so little”), at one point covered about sixteen acres of downtown. Forthmann died in 1922.</p><br>
<p>The Forthmann Carriage House is currently owned and in the process of restoration by Ithyle Griffiths and Angela Kohler.</p><br>
<p>Meeks Flour Mill is a historic building located in Bonaparte, Iowa, United States. William Meek and Dr. R.N. Cresap laid out the town of Meeks Mill in 1837. Although the town was renamed Bonaparte in 1841, the Meek family had a central role in its development through the turn of the 20th-century. The present building is a three-story, gable roofed, rectangular structure that was built on a raised basement of ashlar limestone blocks. It was constructed in 1878 by Williams son Robert, who had succeeded his father in running the family businesses. He was assisted by his brothers Isaiah and Joseph. It replaced the original 1844 mill, which had been destroyed in a fire. While built on the same site, it is unknown if any part of the present structure was a part of the original mill. Two other structures belonging to the Meeks family are located nearby: a woolen mill , and a saw mill .</p><br>
<p>The mill was operated by Grant C. Scott and Stephen Blackburn by 1900, and Daniel Cresap was the last miller who operated the mill when a flood destroyed the dam in 1905. The building was left vacant for 21 years until a feed store was housed here from 1928 to 1963. The Farmers Cooperative Association occupied the building until 1977. It was then converted into a restaurant. The building was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>Des Moines River Locks No. 5 and No. 7, also known as the Bonaparte and Keosauqua Locks, comprise a discontinuous historic site located along the Des Moines River in Van Buren County, Iowa, United States. Lock No. 5 is located in a riverfront park in Bonaparte, and lock No. 7 is located near Keosauqua. The locks are the only structures that are known to exist for the Des Moines River Improvement Project. Steamboats were the primary means of transportation into the interior of Iowa, but the river was only navigable at certain times of the year and that made the shipping season too short and unpredictable. In 1846 the Iowa Legislature conceived a plan to build a lock and dam system along the Des Moines River to make it navigable from the Mississippi River to the city of Des Moines. These two locks and a third at Bentonsport, non extant, were the only locks of the 28 planned locks and dams that were completed. The project ended in 1858 because it was mismanaged, and the Keokuk and Des Moines River Railroad was being developed to cover the same territory at the same time. Two dams had also been completed, but they have since been removed. Even though the project was never completed, navigation was</p><br>
<p>possible via the locks as far upriver as Keosauqua.</p><br>
<p>Lock No. 5 was begun in 1849 and completed in 1852. It was built by Meeks and Sons from Bonaparte. Beginning at the lower end, the remnants of this structure include 90 ft of the outside wall and 120 ft of the inside wall. They are both 3.5 ft to 5.5 ft thick. The recesses for the lower gates are still visible, as are some of the iron rings that were used to tie boats to the sides. At a later date, stone from the side walls was used to create a third wall across the lower end of the lock in an attempt to stabilize the structure.</p><br>
<p>Aunty Green Hotel is a historic building located in Bonaparte, Iowa, United States. The hotel was built by John Green in 1844. His wife Mary continued to operate the hotel for many years after his death, and that what gave the business its name. It was the second hotel established in town, and it is believed to be the first brick building constructed in Bonaparte. Other businesses that have been housed in this building include a photography studio, doctor&#39;s offices, the first local telephone exchange, a creamery and a gas station. The Van Buren County Historical Association rescued the structure from demolition. It is currently owned by the Bonaparte Historical Society and houses the Auntie Green Museum and the public library.</p><br>
<p>The hotel portion of the building is two-story brick structure with a gable roof with a two-story wooden porch along the street. There is a gate in the railing where luggage from stage coaches was unloaded and brought directly to the guest rooms on the second floor. There is a one-story structure with a gable roof attached to the rear of the building. It is believed to have been the residence for the hotel proprietor, and possibly built at slightly a later date. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Jefferson Cattle Pound is a historic animal pound in Jefferson, Maine. Built in 1829, it is one of the state&#39;s best-preserved stone pounds. It is located on the south side of Gardiner Road , about 0.75 mi west of its junction with Maine State Route 213. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Jefferson Cattle Pound is located in central northern Jefferson, a rural community in northern Lincoln County. It stands on the south side of Gardiner Road in a rural wooded area. It is a circular fieldstone structure about 40 ft in diameter, with walls about 7 ft high. The inside face of the wall is nearly vertical, while the outside is angled, giving the wall a thickness at its base of about 4 ft and about 3 ft at its top. Facing the road is an opening about 4.5 ft wide, formed by roughly squared granite blocks. The opening is topped at a height of about 5.5 ft by a shaped granite lintel that is about 8 ft long and 1 ft thick. There are three iron bolts mounted in the stones on the west side, which originally would have held a sturdy wooden gate. Remnants of lower walls extend from the opening toward the road, at a widening angle. These were historically joined to a stone wall that lined the roadway.</p><br>
<p>The pound was built for the town by Silas Noyes, a local resident, in 1828 at a cost of $28. Prior to its construction, the town&#39;s pound keepers (of which there were seven at one time) had kept stray animals on their own properties. The pound remained in use until about 1888, when the town office of pound keeper was discontinued. Changes in the demographics of farm animals, and the increasing use of barbed wire to limit movements of animals led to a decline in the need for such a public facility. At the time of its listing on the National Register in 2004, it was one of the best-preserved of 21 surviving animal pounds in the state.</p><br>
<p>The Foster Farm Barn is a historic dairy barn at 538 Augusta Road in Belgrade, Maine. Built sometime between 1900 and 1910, it is a well-preserved example of a barn built during a transitional period between mixed-use farming and specialized dairy farming. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Foster Farm Barn is located on the property currently known as Winterberry Farm, in northern Belgrade, on the east side of Augusta Road (Maine State Route 27), just south of its junction with Point and Guptil Roads. It is set back from the road, behind the farmstand used for public sales, and north of the c. 1900 farmhouse. It is a two-story timber-frame structure with a gambrel roof. It is about 70 x in size, and exhibits construction techniques common to the period after the American Civil War. It also includes features that were considered modern in the early 20th century for dairy farming purposes, including concrete manure troughs, ventilation slats in the walls, and specialized ducting to facilitate the movement of air to ventilators in the roof. The lower level of the barn is finished in original wooden shingles, while the upper levels of the walls are unfinished, with exposed sheathing.</p><br>
<p>The barn was built sometime in the first decade of the 20th century, by brothers Frank and Edgar Foster, whose parents had farmed the property since the late 1850s. It (and construction of the house) may have been funded as the result of one of the brothers receiving an inheritance. It was a clear departure from traditional New England barns of the 19th century, which typically had space for only a small number of livestock. The Foster brothers were reported in 1902 to have a dairy herd of fifteen cows, in addition to two each horses, oxen, and pigs. The barn&#39;s interior is clearly organized to support a focused dairy operation.</p><br>
<p>Bhuchar Mori is a plateau and historic site about two kilometres northwest of Dhrol, a town about 50 kilometres north of Rajkot, Gujarat, India. The place is known for the Battle of Bhuchar Mori and a memorial site dedicated to it. The annual fair dedicated to the event is organised in July and August.</p><br>
<h2>Etymology</h2><br>
<p>Bhuchar Mori, a cowheard of Mori branch of Maldhari community, used to sit on the plateau while his animals fed on grass. The place was referred to as Bhuchar Mori No Timbo after him. It is said that the bad omens, such as voices of the birds, at the place had foretold about the future battle.</p><br>
<h2>Battle of Bhuchar Mori</h2><br>
<p>The battle of Bhuchar Mori was fought between the army of Kathiawar led by Nawanagar State and the Mughal army in July 1591 (Vikram Samvat 1648). It was meant to protect Muzaffar Shah III, the last Sultan of Gujarat Sultanate who had taken asylum under Jam Sataji of Nawanagar after his escape from the Mughal emperor Akbar. The Kathiawar army included the armies of Junagadh and Kundla who betrayed Nawanagar and joined the Mughal army at last. The battle led to a large number of casualties on both sides. The battle resulted in the decisive victory of the Mughal army.</p><br>
<p>It is considered the largest battle in the history of Saurashtra. It is often dubbed as the Panipat of Saurashtra.</p><br>
<h2>Memorial site</h2><br>
<p>The paliya or memorial stone of Ajaji is a horse-mounted idol. The paliya with the hand, dedicated to his wife Surajkunwarba, stand south of it. The inscription on the stone can not be read. There is an inscription in the shrine that the memorial site was renovated by Jam Vibhaji and the shrine was constructed by him on the palia of Ajaji. On the north side wall of the shrine, there is a 16th-century art in traditional style depicting Ajaji on the horse attacking Mirza Aziz Koka on an elephant. There are shrines dedicated to Ram, Laxman and Bhutnath in the compound. To the north of the shrine, there are eight paliya on the floor; including dedicated to Jesha Vajir. There are four paliyas in the row and more three of large size nearby. There are six paliyas to the south of the shrine of which three are partially damaged. There are three black poorly shaped stones in the north of the opposite side of shrine which are dedicated to Atit Sadhus. There are 23 memorials in the compound. Eight more memorials are outside of the compound and one dedicated to Rakhehar Dholi is some distance away. There are 32 memorials in total. The site is visited by people of Jamnagar every year and the worship these memorials with Sindoor.</p><br>
<p>There are eight tombs on the southwest of the shrine dedicated to the soldiers of the Mughal army. It is believed that soldiers were buried together and eight tombs dedicated to leaders were built on it. The site also has a well and a mosque.</p><br>
<p>Since 1998, the site is maintained by Bhuchar Mori Shahid Smarak Trust. The site is a protected monument of the archaeological department of the state (S-GJ-84).</p><br>
<p>Since 1992, the memorial site is visited by people of Kshatriya community for prayers on Shitla Satam. The annual fair is organized on the last day of the Shraavana month (Shraavana Vad Amavasya) (July-August) which is attended by thousands.</p><br>
<p>Swedes Run  is a river in Burlington County, New Jersey. Swedes Run drains an area of 3.63 square miles. Swedes Run drains into the Delaware River, and is approximately 11.95 miles long.</p><br>
<h2>Water quality</h2><br>
<p>Swedes Run is considered an impaired body of water, due to higher-than-acceptable levels of arsenic, pathogens, oxygen depletion, and polychlorinated biphenyls. The probable source of the arsenic is from the agriculture near the river, and the probable source of the other impaired conditions would be from urban runoff.</p><br>
<p>Upstream, the river&#39;s water quality improves, and at a certain upstream site, the river was given a score of 146, or suboptimal, on its habitat analysis. This has improved from recent years where it had been given a score of 62 on its habitat analysis, which would translate to very little or marginal habitat.</p><br>
<p>Millinocket Lake is the source of Millinocket Stream in the North Maine Woods north of Baxter State Park. Millinocket Stream flows 5.5 mi to Maine township 8, range 8, where it joins Munsungan Stream to form the Aroostook River. The lake extending along the border of Maine range 9 townships 7 and 8 is impounded behind a wooden dam. The dam enlarged the lake to include Little Millinocket Lake and Moose Pond by flooding adjoining bogs to store water for hydropower. The large areas of shallow flooded bog are a good habitat for fallfish, yellow perch and white suckers; but with summer water temperatures ranging from 70° near the surface to 55° in the deeper areas, dissolved oxygen concentrations become unfavorable for trout. Tributaries to the lake drain a number of small ponds to the west of the lake including Atkins Pond, Blackmore Pond, Buckley Pond, Big Caribou Pond, Little Caribou Pond, Chandler Pond, Elsie Pond, Ervin Pond, Jack Pond, Kyle Pond, Line Pond, Mathews Pond, May Pond, Little Moose Pond, Upper Moose Pond, Pretty Pond, Snowshoe Pond, and Spring Pond.</p><br>

<p>Gibil Gabib  is an archaeological site located about 5 km south of Caltanissetta, on a 615 metre high mountain.</p><br>
<p>Excavations were first undertaken in the area in the middle of the 19th century and were reprised with great enthusiasm in the 1950s by the archaeologist Dinu Adameșteanu. They came to an end in 1984.</p><br>
<p>In those undertaken in the middle of the 20th century, remains dating to the 6th century BC were brought to light, including parts of the city walls and some ceramic objects of the Bronze Age Castelluccio culture, while the 1980s excavations revealed a defensive tower from the middle of the 6th century BC. This discoveries were of great significance, because they helped to clarify the course of the city wall discovered almost thirty years earlier.</p><br>
<p>Objects discovered in the excavations include vases, objects for everyday use, plates and lamps, as well as a terracotta statue of a female divinity and the terracotta head, which demonstrate the existence of various spaces dedicated to religious cult. At the base of the mountain, there is a necropolis, where Siceliote red-figure pottery was found.</p><br>
<p>The key characteristics of the site are:</p><br>
<p>Traces of settlement in the prehistoric period</p><br>
<p>Traces of indigenous settlement in the 7th century BC. Subsequently, these inhabited areas show Greek influence and in the next century, a fortification system was built which inclosed a sacred building from the early 6th century BC.</p><br>
<p>Two necropoleis located at the base of the mountain, where Siceliote red-figure pottery was found.</p><br>
<p>Objects for everyday use found in the inhabited area and evidence for the existence of a religious cult indicated by a statue of a female deity.</p><br>

<p>The Bonaparte Historic Riverfront District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Bonaparte, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. Three mill-related buildings near the Des Moines River are associated with the Meeks family who had a central role in the towns development from its founding through the turn of the 20th-century. They include the woolen mill , the flour mill , which is individually listed on the National Register, and the pants factory . Eighteen commercial buildings are of brick construction. Of those, eight are two-story structures, and ten are single-story structures. The remaining three buildings are wood frame commercial buildings. The single historic structure is the stone lock in the city park, which is also individually listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>In addition to the industrial buildings, the commercial buildings historically housed stores, a bank, an opera house, and a fraternal society. Bonapartes commercial area was built on the riverfront to take advantage of the riverboats that were important for commerce when the town was founded in the 1830s. As the railroad came through the focus of river town commerce moved away from the river and focused on the rail station. Because of the Meeks facilities, Bonaparte continued to focus on the river until the mills closed in 1909. The period of significance is 1852 to 1909, and most of the non-contributing buildings and the structures were built after 1909. A couple of buildings have been altered to the point that they have lost their historic significance.</p><br>
<p>The Bonaparte Pottery Archeological District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Bonaparte, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. The contributing resources include the remains of two kilns from Bonaparte Pottery, which operated from 1866 to 1895. It also includes the factory building  that replaced a building that was destroyed in a fire in November 1875. The non-contributing resources include two buildings that are associated with the lumberyard that took over the site after the pottery closed. They were built after the period of historical significance.</p><br>
<p>While modest in size compared with Red Wing Pottery in Minnesota and Western Stoneware in Illinois, Bonaparte Pottery was mid-sized operation associated with the pottery industry in Iowa. Pottery had a significant economic impact on the state from the mid to the late 19th-century. The Des Moines River Valley had the greatest concentration of potteries in the state because of the abundant coal deposits located there. Fire clay, which is used to manufacture ceramics, was a by-product of coal mining. Sidney Parker and Thomas Hanback founded the business in 1866. Robert Wilson and Henry Jones joined the business in its later years. The pottery went out of business in 1895 for a variety of reasons. The financial panic of 1893 undoubtedly played a part, but Bonaparte experienced a severe decline in manufacturing that began in the 1890s. Other pottery operations had improved their mechanization, they had a better quality of clay, and they were located closer to population centers where they could sell their products.</p><br>
<p>The General Méndez Vigo Bridge is a brick barrel vault bridge that brings what is now Puerto Rico Highway 14 across the Río Las Minas near Coamo, Puerto Rico. Also known as Bridge #173 and as Puente Rio las Minas, it was built in 1862 as part of Puerto Rico&#39;s Carretera Central. The bridge is historically significant for its association with the USA Army Corps of Engineers and its role in the Spanish–American War of 1898. It is also the only surviving masonry bridge in the southern section of the Carretera Central.</p><br>
<p>In the Puerto Rican Campaign, American forces landed in the south of Puerto Rico and attacked up the Carretera Central. This bridge, like some others, was destroyed by Spanish troops under Commander Rafael Martinez-Illescas to delay the American troops, which worked: a battalion of the 2nd Wisconsin Volunteer Regiment, part of a USA Army column commanded by Major General James H. Wilson, approaching from Ponce, Puerto Rico, was held up. The Wisconsin troops subsequently participated in a pincer movement at the Battle of Coamo in which Martinez-Illescas was killed.</p><br>
<p>The destroyed arch was rebuilt in 1898 by the US Corps of Engineers. Keystones of the arch "embody its history": one side shows a castle, the symbol of the USA Army Corps of Engineers, and the other provides inscription that it was reconstructed in 1898 by the First Regiment of the Fifth Battalion of the Corps. The arch is otherwise decorated by geometrical designs in relief. Abutments of the bridge are from the 1862 original construction.</p><br>
<p>The bridge is named for General Santiago Mendez Vigo, who was governor of Puerto Rico, for Spain, during 1840 to 1844. It was designed by engineer Timoteo Luberza and cost 15,405 pesos.</p><br>
<p>It is located near kilometer 30.4 of Route 14.</p><br>
<p>The Nels Severson Barn, also known as "Fort" Severson, is a historic barn located north of Carpenter in rural Mitchell County, Iowa, United States. It is a two-story structure composed of irregularly-cut limestone with a gable roof. Its walls are 18 in thick. It is one of a few, and possibly the only, stone structure in the area. The barn was built by Norwegian immigrant Nels Severson in 1867. He and his brother Ole were early settlers in this region. Local tradition refers to the building as a fort. Its large size and sturdy construction would protect the white settlers from Indian attacks. It is also said that it was a stop on a stage coach line. While the latter might be true, there is no evidence to corroborate either tradition. The barn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<p>The Sai River , is a tributary of the Gomti River in Uttar Pradesh, India.</p><br>
<p>It separates the region of Lucknow from Unnao. It flows towards the south Raebareli and comes into the region of Pratapgarh through the west, then it turns east and touches The Ghuisarnath Dham. Flowing out of Ghuisarnath Dham, it touches another religious place known as the Chandika Dham that is dedicated to Devi Chandi. Devotees take a bath in River Sai and worship Baba Ghuisarnath with its water India. Most of the districts of Uttar Pradesh are situated on the bank of river Sai. Sai is one of the most sacred rivers of Hinduism. It got reference in Puranas and in Ramcharitmanas of Goswami Tulsidas. Along with its religious importance its also a lifeline to the millions of Indians who live on its banks and depends on it for their daily utilities.</p><br>
<p>ShaniDham SangRamban is located on banks of river Sai at Parsadepur.</p><br>
<p>Mitchell Powerhouse and Dam is a historic structure located in Mitchell, Iowa, United States. The west side of town along the Cedar River developed into a processing and manufacturing area, and its mills were powered by the river&#39;s current. They all became obsolete and closed around the turn of the 20th-century. In 1917 the Northeastern Iowa Power Co. was incorporated at Clermont, Iowa, and in 1924 they hired the Fargo Engineering Company of Jackson, Michigan to build the powerhouse and dam at Mitchell. It was completed the following year. The concrete dam is composed of a 100 ft permanent crest and two 32 ft wide tainter gates. A third gate was converted into a permanent concrete spillway. The powerhouse is a single-story structure composed of rock faced limestone that was laid in a random ashlar pattern. Northeastern Iowa Power Company was transferred to the Central States Power and Light Company, who was in turn transferred to the Interstate Power Company. The Mitchell County Conservation Board acquired the dam, powerhouse, and the adjacent land, which it turned into a public park in 1963. The facility was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>Rainbow Lake is the source of Rainbow Stream in Rainbow township in the North Maine Woods. Rainbow Stream discharges over a dam at the west end of the lake and flows 4 mi south to Nahmakanta Lake. Nahmakanta Lake overflows through Nahmakanta Stream and Pemadumcook Chain of Lakes to the Penobscot River. The Appalachian Trail follows Rainbow Stream and the south shore of the lake; but the old logging road to the dam has deteriorated with boggy areas no longer passable by four-wheel drive vehicles. The lake has a small catchment basin and is surrounded by large granite boulders. The low nutrient input in this setting produces unusually clear water. The lake has a native population of brook trout.</p><br>

<p>St Gwenfaen&#39;s Well  is an early medieval holy well in the south west of Holy Island, Anglesey, named after St Gwenfaen, whose cloister was nearby. The site includes substantial remains of a building and is both a scheduled monument and a Grade II listed building. Traditionally, a gift of two white quartz pebbles thrown into the pool can cure mental health problems.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>St Gwenfaens Well lies in an isolated position in a cleft in the rock in a dell overlooking the cliffs of Porth Gwalch (Welsh: Hawk Bay) in the community of Rhoscolyn in the south west of Holy Island, Anglesey. The well is just under 1 km west by south west of the village of Rhoscolyn which is the location of St Gwenfaens Church, part of the ministry area of Holy Island (Church in Wales).</p><br>
<p>As with much of Holy Island, the well lies within the area of the Glannau Ynys Gybi (Welsh: Holy Island Coast) Site of Special Scientific Interest and the Anglesey Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The remains of the drystone well house are 4.5 m east-west by (originally) 5.5 m north-south. Three steps descend into the building from the east into a 2.0 m square chamber with a flagstone floor and four diagonal stone seats in each corner. A narrow opening and steps lead into the rectangular well chamber, 1.2 m east-west by 0.6 m north-south, with recessed semi-circular seats at each side.</p><br>
<p>An outer external well chamber roughly 1.5 m square contains the well itself, and is separated from the internal well chamber by a drystone wall, which includes a stone slab with circular grooves cut in its upper and lower edges to allow water to flow between the two chambers. The external chamber can be reached by six descending stone steps on either side cut into the cleft in the rock.</p><br>
<p>At the western end a stone slab with a hole allows water to be retained in the chamber or be released into a 4.6 m long paved channel leading to a pool 35 m west of the well.</p><br>
<p>St Gwenfaen&#39;s Well has not been accurately dated but is assumed to be medieval. The nearby church dedicated to St Gwenfaen is on the site of an older church dating from 630 AD.</p><br>
<h2>History and legend</h2><br>
<p>Gwenfaen was the daughter of Paul Hen of Manaw (who also known as Old Paulinus), and sister of Peulan and Gwyngeneu, both saints who also lived on Holy Island. She was known for healing mental illness. While being chased by druids, Gwenfaen is said to have climbed a nearby rock stack and was carried away by angels when the tide came in.</p><br>
<p>An offering of two white quartz pebbles into the water of the well is said to cure mental problems.</p><br>
<h2>Recent history</h2><br>
<p>St Gwenfaen&#39;s Well was designated as a Grade II listed building in 1971 and as a scheduled monument in 1987.</p><br>
<p>The well is blessed every year on, or near, Gwenfaens Saints day, 4 November, after Holy Communion in the nearby church.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>St Gwenfaen&#39;s Well can be reached by footpath, either by a circular route around Rhoscolyn or by following the Anglesey Coastal Path (part of the Wales Coast Path).</p><br>

<p>The Hobart Public Library is the first public library in Hobart, Indiana. It hold two significant features, it is a Carnegie library and the only Tudor Revival structure in Hobart.</p><br>
<p>The Women&#39;s Reading Club of Hobart was granted $16,000 from the Carnegie Corporation in 1914-15. A. F. Wickes, an Illinois-born architect designed during a ten-year period of residency in Gary. Ingwald Moe who had emigrated from Norway in 1906 to Gary was hired to build the library. He created a large construction company. His company built many buildings for Indiana Steel, a subsidiary of USA Steel, and the Gary Methodist Hospital and the Palace Theater.</p><br>
<p>The Hobart Library is patterned after Floor Plan "A" as shown in "Notes on Library Buildings," a pamphlet supplied by the Carnegie Corporation. Carnegie had created the pamphlet as libraries were not common and standards were not common at this time.</p><br>
<p>Recommendations on window placement and basement construction were followed. Exterior appearance was not specifically stated, other than the limiting of ornate or expensive features. There is no specific information regarding the use of the Tudor Revival design. It is the only known example of Tudor Revival in Hobart.</p><br>
<p>In 1968, the library built a larger building elsewhere and sold the Carnegie building to the Hobart Historical Society. It is now a museum.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The building is rectangular with a high-pitched gable roof. On the south is a small gabled bay and entry porch. It is a brick structure with a slate roof in a Tudor Revival style.

The main entry is on the south next to the bay window. A small porch extends from the main roof over the door. East of the entry is a polygonal bay window, with five, large, leaded glass windows. Each window has a stained glass flower decoration. The brickwork is intricate limestone trim. The bay window is topped by a gable in a half-timbered design with quatrefoil decorative elements.</p><br>
<p>The west façade was built with a Palladian style window grouping and a circular ventilator in the gable area. A later addition to provide access to the basement area has altered this façade. A 1969 addition on the north façade used concrete block.</p><br>
<p>The basement is a one-half story above grade designed for lectures and meetings. The main floor is one large room. The east end was designated the children&#39;s reading room, while west end was reserved for adults. The librarian was located opposite the main door. The Carnegie floor plan “A” places windows high in the walls, to provide for bookshelves below. The east end has a fireplace center on the wall, was considered a waste of space for bookshelves. The woodwork and bookcases were of oak.</p><br>
<p>Greens Lake is a private, all-sports, 117-acre lake along the main branch of the Clinton River.</p><br>
<p>The lake lies within Independence Township in Oakland County, Michigan.</p><br>
<p>The lake has a maximum depth of 55 feet.</p><br>

<p>Pompeston Creek is a creek in Burlington County, New Jersey. Pompeston Creek drains an area of 9 square miles, and runs through Riverton, Moorestown, Delran, and Cinnaminson. The river&#39;s headwaters are located in Moorestown, and Pompeston Creek flows directly into the Delaware River. Wetlands are common along the banks of the river.</p><br>
<h2>Water quality</h2><br>
<p>80% of the land use within the Pompeston Creek Watershed is urban, and this contributes to the water quality problem in the watershed. The stormwater runoff is often polluted from the urban landscape and from animal wastes and fertilizers, and this runs into the river through the over 200 stormwater outfalls into Pompeston Creek.</p><br>
<p>Pompeston Creek&#39;s water quality improves as you head upstream into Moorestown, and the quality worsens as you near the mouth of the river, passing over more urbanized areas. Water quality has improved in recent years, thanks to efforts from volunteers and informed citizens, as well as stormwater management plans.</p><br>
<p>The Edgerton Depot is a historic railway station located at 20 South Main Street in Edgerton, Wisconsin. The station was built in 1906-07 to serve the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad, also known as the Milwaukee Road; it replaced the citys original depot, which opened in 1853 with the railroad. Railroad engineer C.F. Loweth designed the station, which features a hipped roof, bracketed overhanging eaves, a red brick exterior with stone trim, and decorative brick quoins and keystones. The station was critical to the citys tobacco industry, which attracted customers from as far away as Europe; the railroad both shipped tobacco to larger cities and brought business agents to the city&#39;s firms. Passenger trains to the station, which were used both by residents and the aforementioned businessmen, primarily served routes to Milwaukee and Chicago. The station was remodeled in 1939, though rail travel in Edgerton had already begun to decline by this point; it fell even more significantly in the 1950s and 1960s, and the station closed in 1971.</p><br>
<p>The station was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 13, 1998.</p><br>
