<p>The Peacock Tavern is a historic tavern building at 1037 United States Route 201 in Richmond, Maine. Built in 1807, it is one of the rural community&#39;s oldest surviving buildings, and has long been a landmark on what was once the main road between Augusta and Portland. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. It is now owned by the state, forming part of Peacock Beach State Park.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Peacock Tavern stands on the east side of US 201 in rural Richmond, opposite the entrance to Peacock Beach State Park. It is a two-story wood frame structure, with a hip roof and clapboard siding. It is seven bays wide, with a typical five-bay facade augmented by asymmetrically placed windows to the left. The front entrance is flanked by sidelight windows and pilasters, and topped by a decorative carved entablature and dentillated cornice. The interior contains well-preserved but simple Federal period woodwork, including wood paneling, fireplace mantels, and wainscoting. The main stair&#39;s newel post is a 20th-century reproduction.</p><br>
<p>The tavern was built in 1807, along what was historically the main road leading south from Augusta. It was built by Benjamin Shaw, but sold soon afterward to Edward Peacock, from whom it acquired its name. The two-bay ell, which extends the building to the left and rear, was added later in the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The Foster-Redington House is a historic house at 8 Park Place in Augusta, Maine. Built in 1883, it is a fine example of Queen Anne architecture, supposedly the city&#39;s first example of the style. It was built by Moses Foster, a well-known builder in the state, as his private residence, and was later home to Frank Redington, a city mayor and civic leader. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Foster-Redington House stands in central Waterville, at the end of Park Place, a spur projecting north from the mainly residential Park Street. It is a two story wood frame structure, with asymmetrical massing typical of the Queen Anne period. It has several projecting gable sections, and a square turret at the front corner, partially overhanging a single-story porch. The exterior is finished in a combination of decorative shingles and wooden clapboards, with some applied Stick style woodwork and vergeboard. The interior has retained some of its original features, including tin ceilings, mahogany woodwork in the hall, and fluted Doric columns in the opening between the parlor and library.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1883 by Moses C. Foster, a building contractor with a statewide reputation for fine work. Foster also served as mayor of Waterville, as did his son-in-law, Frank Redington, who took over the house and made some alterations (notably including the turret) in the early 20th century. Redington&#39;s tenure as mayor was marked by numerous civic improvements, including construction of its city hall.</p><br>
<p>The Fuller-Weston House is a historic house at 11 Summer Street in Augusta, Maine. Built in 1818, it is a fine local example of Federal period architecture, and is further notable for several of its occupants, who include the Chief Justice of the United States Melville Fuller. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. It now serves as the rectory of St. Mark&#39;s Church.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Fuller-Weston House stands on the east side of Summer Street, a largely residential street north of the city&#39;s downtown. It is oriented facing south. It is a two story wood frame structure, with a hip roof, clapboard siding, and granite foundation. It has a five-bay main facade, with a center entrance flanked by sidelight windows and pilasters, and topped by a Federal style louvered fan. It is sheltered by a flat-roof portico supported by square posts.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1818 for Henry Weld Fuller, a lawyer who purchased 100 acre of land, including much of central Augusta. Fuller sold the house in 1827 to Nathan Weston, who had just been appointed to the Maine Supreme Judicial Court, and became its chief justice in 1834. Westons daughter married Fullers son, and they gave birth to Melville Fuller, who served as the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court from 1888 to 1910.</p><br>
<p>Avaqqat Kangerluat, also known as Avarqqat Kangerluat, Avaqqat Kangerlua and Puiagtoq Fjord, is a fjord in the King Frederick VI Coast, Kujalleq municipality, southern Greenland.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Avaqqat Kangerluat extends in a roughly ESE/WNW direction for about 45 km between Anorituup Kangerlua to the north and Igutsaat Fjord to the south. To the east the fjord opens into the North Atlantic Ocean between Taterat and Karrat Point. The fjord becomes wide in its middle part and has large active glacier at its head and on its sides.</p><br>
<p>Puiattoq is a tributary fjord with an active glacier on Avaqqat Kangerluats southern shore and Qassialik, another offshoot, extends 7 km WSW close to the mouth on the southern shore but has no glacier at its head. Southeast of the mouth along the coast there is a small bay named Qasigiaqartarfia. Uummannaarsuk is a 239 m island located about 4 km from Avaqqat, the point on the northern side of the fjords mouth.</p><br>
<p>The Avaqqat Paleo-Eskimo archaeological site is located at the entrance of the fjord on its northern side.</p><br>
<h3>Mountains</h3><br>
<p>There are high mountains rising on both sides of the fjord, but not as steeply as in other fjords of the same area of the coast. A peak at the head of the fjord rises to a height of 1,490 m on the northern side between two confluent glaciers and a 1,581 m peak rises further to the west at 61&deg;21&prime;55&Prime;N latitude, 43&deg;24&prime;44&Prime;W longitude.</p><br>

<p>A chain of three Jo-Mary Lakes along the border of Penobscot County and Piscataquis County drain into the Pemadumcook Chain of Lakes in the North Maine Woods. The flow sequence is from Upper Jo-Mary Lake into Middle Jo-Mary Lake and then through Lower Jo-Mary Lake into Pemadumcook Lake.</p><br>
<h2>Upper Jo-Mary Lake</h2><br>
<p>The upper lake has approximately the same surface area as the lower lake, but holds a larger volume of water. Johnston Brook drains Johnston Pond and Jo-Mary Pond into the west side of the lake; and Duck Brook drains Duck Pond into the north end of the lake. Upper Jo-Mary Stream drains from the eastern side of the upper lake into Turkey Tail Lake 1 mi to the northeast. The upper lake has a native population of lake trout, and has been stocked with brook trout and land-locked Atlantic salmon. Rainbow smelt and white perch have been introduced to the lake.</p><br>
<h2>Middle Jo-Mary Lake</h2><br>
<p>The middle lake is the smallest of the three, although connected with Turkey Tail Lake to the southeast at the same level through two narrow necks on either side of a large island. Upper Jo-Mary Stream flows from the upper lake into Turkey Tail Lake. The northern end of the middle lake flows through a narrow neck into the southeastern corner of the lower lake at the same level. The shallow water of the middle lake becomes too warm for trout during the summer months, but the lake supports a population of chain pickerel and white perch.</p><br>
<h2>Lower Jo-Mary Lake</h2><br>
<p>In addition to drainage from the upper and middle lakes to the south, the lower lake receives drainage from the west through the Cooper Brook Deadwater. Leavitt Pond, Henderson Pond, and Mud Pond drain to the deadwater through Mud Brook; while Rocky Pond, Crawford Pond, Church Pond, and Cooper Pond drain through Cooper Brook. The Appalachian Trail follows Cooper Brook from Crawford Pond to the deadwater and thence follows the shoreline along the western end of the lower lake. The northeast corner of the lower lake overflows into the south side of Pemadumcook Lake only a few hundred yards (or metres) to the north. Native populations of lake trout, brook trout, and land-locked Atlantic salmon receive comparatively light angling pressure because there is no motor vehicle road to the lower lake.</p><br>

<p>Igutsaat Fjord, also known as Igutsait 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 Kangerluluk.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Igutsaat Fjord extends in a roughly east/west direction for about 35 km between Avaqqat Kangerluat to the north and Kangerluluk Fjord to the south. It has an active glacier at its head and is very similar in structure to Kangerluluk but shorter. To the east the fjord opens into the North Atlantic Ocean between Cape Olfert Fischer in the south and Cape Herluf Trolle in the north. The fjord becomes wide in its middle part and has large active glacier at its head and on its sides.</p><br>
<p>Uummannaarsuk —not to be confused with Uummannaarsuk off the mouth of Avaqqat Kangerluat 15 km further north— is a small island located about 2.8 km to the NE of Cape Olfert Fischer, the point on the southern side of the fjord&#39;s mouth.</p><br>
<p>The Igutsaat Paleo-Eskimo archaeological site is located by the shore at the entrance of the fjord on its northern side.</p><br>
<h3>Mountains</h3><br>
<p>There are high mountains rising on both sides of the fjord, the Kangerluluk Range (Kangerluluk Bjerge) stretching along the southern side from east to west reaching heights of 1,291 m above the terminus of the glacier —its higher summits rising further to the west. The range flanking the fjord on the northern side has a peak reaching a height of 1,728.8 m rising further inland above the glacier at its head at 61&deg;15&prime;20&Prime;N latitude, 43&deg;26&prime;9&Prime;W longitude.</p><br>

<p>The Paris Post Office is located at 206 North Elm Street in downtown Paris, Arkansas. It is located in a modest Colonial Revival building, built in 1937 as part of a major federal building project. It is notable for the controversy over its interior artwork, which was funded by the Treasury Departments Treasury Section of Fine Arts, and executed by Joseph P. Vorst. The murals proposed by Vorst depicted a raggedly dressed African-American with several skinny mules, approaching a tarpaper shack that appears to be the mans home. There was public outcry, with Vorst defending the depiction as an accurate rendition of the area during a visit he made. He then submitted an alternate drawing, which showed a stock farm, cotton gin, and other more benign imagery, which was accepted.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Jefferson Town House is the historic former town hall of Jefferson, Maine. It is located at the junction of Maine State Routes 126 and 213. It was built in 1869, and served as the community&#39;s town hall until 1958. It is now maintained by the local historical society as a museum. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Jefferson Town House is located on the western edge of the dispersed rural village center of Jefferson, on the north side of SR 126 (Gardiner Road) at its junction with SR 213. It is a two-story wood frame structure, with a steep gabled roof, clapboard siding, and a foundation of original fieldstone and replacement concrete piers. Its front facade is symmetrical, with a pair of entrances on the ground floor, three windows in the half-story, and a fourth window near the gable peak. A wooden flagpole is mounted below the topmost window, extending upward in front of it and beyond the gable ridge. The interior of the building has a large meeting space taking up the first floor, and two rooms on the second. Next to the town house stands a small gabled building that once served as a "hearse house", for storage of the town hearse. It is believed to be older than the town house.</p><br>
<p>The town house was built in 1869 at a cost of $895, replacing an 1828 town house that had been located nearby. The upper level of the building is a relative oddity in Maine&#39;s 19th-century town houses, and was apparently rented out to fraternal organizations and used for one season for high school classes. It was leased to the local historical society in 1962, which has cared for it since.</p><br>
<p>Moon Valley is located in the southern end of Independence Township in Oakland County, Michigan, United States. It comprises most of section 32 on the northern base of Waterford Hill.</p><br>
<h2>Formation</h2><br>
<p>Moon Valley was formed during the retreat of the last continental glacier, approximately 14,000 years ago. As they retreated, the glaciers left behind debris, called moraines, and valleys. The retreating glaciers also formed numerous lakes.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1854, Stephen Moon (1823-1909) came to Independence Township, Michigan from Palmyra, New York and was the first to settled in a valley on the northern side of Waterford Hill along the Saginaw Trail (now Dixie Highway). His tract of land was in section 32 of the township. There he established a 120-acre stock farm where he raised sheep, hogs, cows and fowl.</p><br>
<p>Moon&#39;s son, Melvin C. Moon (1854-1933), eventually took over ownership of the farm and ran it until 1910.</p><br>
<p>The valley became known as "Moon Valley".</p><br>
<p>The farm was subdivided and today consists of a residences on Maple Lane and a commercial district along Dixie Highway.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Clinton River winds its way around Moon Valley and through Greens Lake, a 117 acres, 55 foot depth lake which borders the western side of the valley.</p><br>
<p>The Guy P. Gannett House is a historic house at 184 State Street in Augusta, Maine. Built in 1911 to a design by Boston architect James Thomas, it is the only siginificant example of Mediterranean Revival architecture in Kennebec County. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Guy P. Gannett House stands on the west side of State Street (United States Route 201) in the city&#39;s Capitol Complex. It stands just north of The Blaine House, the official residence of the Governor of Maine, and is owned by the state as part of a buffer around that property. It is a basically square 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a hip roof that has deep eaves showing exposed rafter ends, stuccoed exterior walls, and a granite foundation. Single-story porches extend to the north and south, and a two-story ell extends to the rear. The front facade faces east, and is symmetrically arranged. It is three bays wide, with a single-story porch extending across the center bay. The main entrance is at the center, with flanking sidelight windows. The porch is supported by Tuscan columns, and has a metal balcony railing above. Windows in the side bays are three-part, with narrow side elements flanking larger central ones in a Palladian style.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1911 to a design by Boston architect James Thomas. It was built for Guy P. Gannett, one of the most important figures in Maines newspaper publishing industry. The house was a showcase of modern conveniences of the period, including electric light fixtures, and an elevator for bringing firewood up from the basement. It also has an early example of a whole house vacuum cleaning system. At the time of its listing on the National Register in 1983, it housed the states planning office.</p><br>
<p>Historic Quad, also known as the Historic Quadrangle in Lewiston, Maine, is a grassy area of 22.4 acres  enclosed by fences with five garnet gates. It is the oldest part of the Bates College campus, and serves as its historic center as well as the site of annual commencement exercises and other convocations. The areas is principally surrounded by College Street, Campus Avenue, Central Avenue and Andrews Road. The most center building on the Quad is Hathorn Hall, built in 1856 it was inducted into National Register of Historic Places in 1970. Hathorn is flanked by the oldest residential dorm at the college, Parker Hall, and the second oldest natural science building Dana Chemistry Hall. Directly across the stairs of Hathorn is Lindholm House, which houses the admissions office.</p><br>
<h2>Features and surroundings</h2><br>
<p>The quad is surrounded by numerous buildings and off campus houses such as: Rand Hall and the Gomes Chapel, Parker Hall, Hathorn Hall, and Dana Chemistry Hall, Coram Library and Carnegie Science Hall, Lindholm House, Milliken House, and Whittier House.</p><br>
<p>The chain of Debsconeag Lakes in the North Maine Woods is a tributary to the West Branch Penobscot River. The flow sequence is from the Sixth Debsconeag Lake through the Fifth, Fourth, Third, Second, and First into the Debsconeag Deadwater on the West Branch.</p><br>
<h2>First Debsconeag Lake</h2><br>
<p>The first lake is the second-largest of the chain, and holds more water than the combined total of the four smaller lakes. The west end of the first lake receives discharge from the upstream lakes of the Debsconeag chain, while the eastern end overflows into the Debsconeag Deadwater on the West Branch at about the same level as the first lake. The first lake supports a population of lake trout and land-locked Atlantic salmon.</p><br>
<h2>Second Debsconeag Lake</h2><br>
<p>The second lake is the fourth-largest of the chain, but twice as large as the fifth lake. In addition to discharge from the upstream lakes of the Debsconeag chain, the west end of the second lake receives drainage from Big and Little Beaver Ponds, Big and Little Minister Ponds, and Moose Pond. The east end of the second lake overflows into the first lake 900 yd to the east. The population of native brook trout fare poorly in competition with pumpkinseed and yellow perch.</p><br>
<h2>Third Debsconeag Lake</h2><br>
<p>The third lake is larger than the combined total of all the other lakes in the chain. Drainage from the fourth lake enters the end of the western arm of the lake, while the northwestern arm of the lake overflows into the second lake 400 yd to the north. This unusually clear lake supports a native population of brook trout and lake trout.</p><br>
<h2>Fourth Debsconeag Lake</h2><br>
<p>The fourth lake is the third-largest of the chain, and holds more water than the combined total of the three smaller lakes. Drainage from the fifth lake enters the north side of the lake, while the east end of the lake overflows into the third lake 600 yd to the east. This unusually clear lake supports a few brook trout, but is a more favorable habitat for lake trout.</p><br>
<h2>Fifth Debsconeag Lake</h2><br>
<p>The fifth lake is the second-smallest of the chain. It is three times as large as the smallest sixth lake. Drainage from the upstream ponds enters the west end of the lake, while the east end of the lake overflows into the fourth lake 900 yd to the southeast. The lake supports a population of native brook trout in competition with introduced yellow perch. Falls below the lake prevent upstream migration into the lake.</p><br>
<h2>Sixth Debsconeag Lake</h2><br>
<p>The sixth lake (sometimes called the sixth pond) is the smallest of the chain. The lake supports a population of native brook trout. The east end of the lake overflows into the fifth lake.</p><br>
<h2>Debsconeag Ponds</h2><br>
<p>The Eighth Debsconeag Pond at 45&deg;47&prime;N latitude, 69&deg;08&prime;W longitude drains through the Seventh Debsconeag Pond at 45&deg;46&prime;N latitude, 69&deg;07&prime;W longitude into the chain of lakes downstream of the sixth lake and upstream of the fifth lake. These ponds are much smaller than any of the six lakes.</p><br>

<p>Toddy Pond is a long, narrow Maine lake with three basins. The southern basin extends from Blue Hill northward to the middle basin forming the boundary between Penobscot and Surry. The northern basin is in Orland, where US route 1 follows the shoreline of the northern tip of the pond. The north end of the pond overflows through Alamoosook Lake into the Orland River. The northern basin cold-water habitat has a self-sustaining population of lake trout, and is stocked with splake, brown trout, and land-locked Atlantic salmon. Smallmouth bass and white perch thrive in the warmer water of the middle and southern basins. The pond is used by a spring spawning fun of alewife. There is a public boat launching site off highway 1 at the north end of the pond.</p><br>

<p>Nahmakanta Lake is the source of Nahmakanta Stream in the North Maine Woods. Nahmakanta Stream flows 4 mi from the southeast end of the lake in Maine township 1, range 11, to the Pemadumcook Chain of Lakes in township 1, range 10. The Appalachian Trail follows Nahmakanta Stream and the southwest shore of Nahmakanta Lake. The northwest end of the lake in township 2, range 11, receives drainage from Rainbow Lake via Rainbow Stream, from Gould Pond via Gould Brook, from the Bean Ponds via Bean Brook, and from Female Pond, Wadleigh Pond, the Musquash Ponds, and Pollywog Pond via Pollywog Brook. These streams provide spawning habitat for brook trout and land-locked Atlantic salmon, while lake trout spawn in the shoals of the lake.</p><br>

<p>Garden Island is an island in the Australian state of South Australia located about 14 km north-west of the capital city of Adelaide in an estuary system within the Adelaide metropolitan area which drains into Gulf St Vincent. It is notable as being a site for a mangrove forest, a landfill, a part of the site for the Multifunction Polis, a ship graveyard and a venue for recreational boating activities. It has enjoyed protected area status since 1973.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Garden Island is located in Gulf St Vincent within the Port River estuary about 15 km north-west of the Adelaide city centre and to the immediate south-east of Torrens Island. It is completely located within the suburb of Garden Island.</p><br>
<p>It is surrounded by the following bodies of water - Angas Inlet to the north, Eastern Passage to the east and North Arm to the south.</p><br>
<p>Access to the island is via road or via boat. Road access from the mainland is via a bridge while boat ramps are located at three places along the northern coast of the island. All three boat ramps are connected to a road system that runs from the above-mentioned bridge. An electric power transmission line crosses the island in an east-west direction to a termination point at the Torrens Island Power Station.</p><br>
<h2>Formation, geology and oceanography</h2><br>
<p>Garden Island is one of the geographical features in what is now the Adelaide metropolitan area that was formed as a consequence of sea level rise at the start of the Holocene. Sea level rise had three consequences. Firstly, watercourses existing at the time were forced to create new mouths in new coastline. Secondly, currents arising along the new coastline formed beaches, a coastal dune system and ultimately the spit known as the Lefevre Peninsula all by the process of longshore drift. Finally, watercourses such at the River Torrens and the Sturt River were forced to flow north to what is now the Port River estuary after being prevented from draining into Gulf St Vincent by the emerging coastal dune system with result of forming features such as Torrens Island and Garden Island.</p><br>
<h2>Flora and fauna</h2><br>
<h3>Flora</h3><br>
<p>The principal plant species is Avicennia marina (Grey or white mangrove) which has colonized the coastline of Garden Island within the intertidal zone, particularly the island’s east end.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>European use</h3><br>
<p>Since 1836, the land tenure has mainly been that of crown land. A third of the island on its western side was dedicated to the South Australian Harbors Board and in 1962, the entire island was dedicated as a reserve under Harbors Board control. The first public road was opened for public use in 1968. The use of the island as a base for recreational boating and as a landfill site began in the 1970s.</p><br>
<h4>Landfill site</h4><br>
<p>Garden Island was the site of a landfill from about 1972 until the year 2000. This activity occupied 54 hectare of the island’s 150 hectare and “served the domestic waste disposal needs for almost half of Adelaide.” Landfill gas is managed by an extraction system commissioned in 2015.</p><br>
<h4>Multifunction Polis</h4><br>
<p>Garden Island which is located within the Adelaide metropolitan area was proposed as one of the sites for the Multifunction Polis, which was a planned community with a projected population of 250,000 proposed in 1987 and which was abandoned in 1998. As of 2014, land including Garden Island which was intended to be the site of the multifunction polis was still zoned for that purpose.</p><br>
<h4>Ship graveyard</h4><br>
<p>In years between 1909 to 1945, the southern coast line of Garden Island was used as a ship graveyard for the disposal of about 25 vessels including Dorothy H. Sterling and Santiago. The ship graveyard is promoted by the Government of South Australia as a canoeing trail.</p><br>
<h4>Recreational and tourism uses</h4><br>
<p>Since the 1970s, Garden Island has been used as a venue for recreational boating activities associated with adjoining bodies of water such as the Barker Inlet and Port River.</p><br>
<h2>Protected area status</h2><br>
<p>Garden Island has been located within the boundaries of the following protected areas since 2005 and 1973 respectively - the Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary and the Barker Inlet-St Kilda Aquatic Reserve.</p><br>
<p>The Percy District School House is a former district school at the junction of Parker Head and Cox Head Roads in Phippsburg, Maine. Now adapted for use as a private residence, this 1830s school house is one of a small number of 19th-century district schools in the state to be built out of granite blocks. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Percy District School House stands on the east side of the junction of Parker Head and Cox Head Roads, in a rural part of the middle third of Phippsburg. It is a single-story structure, built out of quarry faced granite blocks and covered by a gable roof. Its main facade faces west, with the entrance at the northwest corner and two sash windows in rectangular openings. The southern gable end has a pair of sash windows. The windows are all 20th-century replacements, designed to reproduce the building&#39;s original windows. A modern single-story wood-frame ell, also with a gable roof, is attached at one corner of the building.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in the mid-1930s, and is one of three surviving 19th-century stone school buildings in the region, and one of three district schools surviving in the town. This one bears some resemblance to the c. 1820 Stone Schoolhouse in Georgetown. It was built in mid-1830s, and used as a school until 1926. Phippsburg closed all of its district schools in 1958. After standing vacant, a project was begun in 1944 to adapt the building for residential use.</p><br>
<p>The Gardiner Historic District encompasses the historic 19th-century commercial heart of the city of Gardiner, Maine. Once a leading port and industrial center on the Kennebec River, Gardiner&#39;s Water Street downtown area retains the feel of its late 19th-century commercial success. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Gardiner was settled in the late 1750s by Dr. Sylvester Gardiner, whose land grant included the entire present city. The city grew around the mouth of Cobbossee Stream where it empties into the Kennebec, with industries powered by a series of waterfalls on the stream, and facilitated by the ease of transport on the river. By 1850 the city was one of the leading ports on the river, with eight dams on the stream powering a variety of manufacturing and milling operations. Both the level of industry and water-based transport declined in the 20th century, leaving the largely late 19th-century downtown nearly intact.</p><br>
<p>The historic district encompassing Gardiner&#39;s downtown extends along both sides of Water Street, which runs on the south side of Cobbossee Stream in a roughly northwest-southeast orientation, and then southward along the western river bank. The district begins at Brunswick Avenue, and extends southeast to the Gardiner Public Library building at the eastern end of Mechanic Street. Included in the district are 47 historic buildings, generally of brick construction and two or three stories in height. Most of them are either Greek Revival or Italianate in style, although there are several example of Romanesque Revival and Queen Anne architecture. The public library, designed in 1881 by Henry Richards, is a particularly fine example of the latter style.</p><br>
<p>Walnut Grove School is a historic one-room schoolhouse located southwest of Osage in rural Mitchell County, Iowa, United States. It was in operation from 1857 to 1946, and it educated anywhere from five to thirty-three student at a time. The frame structure built on a limestone foundation was constructed in 1873 on the same site as the building it replaced. A bell tower with a cast iron bell is located on the gable roof above the main entrance. Its property is on the edge of a timber along Rock Creek. In 1911 there were 88 one-room school houses in Mitchell County. This is the only one that is unaltered and in its original location. The area was settled by Norwegian pioneers in 1853. They named their small town Meroa, which has been reduced to his old schoolhouse, a Lutheran church, a cemetery, and a few houses. The facility was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>The Osage Commercial Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Osage, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. The historic district covers most of the city&#39;s central business district.</p><br>
<p>Four settlers claimed four tracks of land that would become the city of Osage: Hiram Hart, 80 acre that is the southwest side; Dr. A.H. Moore, 80 acre for the southeast side; O.E. Tripp, the northwest side; and B.C. Whitaker on the northeast side. They were all pioneers from states to the east and not immigrants. The city was named for Orrin Sage, a banker from Massachusetts who contributed to the Gibbs, Boardman Company of Lyons, Iowa, which represented the speculative land interests of investors such as Sage. Osage initially developed to the east of the historic district. Its development to the west was the result of the location of the Illinois Central Railroad tracks and the Mitchell County Courthouse in the late 1860s.</p><br>
<p>The district contains a mix of retail commercial buildings, movie theaters, fraternal halls, professional offices, a cafe, a library, and auto-related businesses. The buildings range in size from one to three-story commercial blocks, and a majority of them are masonry construction. The period of significance is from 1865 to 1952, and the buildings are constructed during that time frame. Most of the buildings were constructed in the 1870s and the 1880s, which was a period of significant economic expansion for the city. There are also some notable buildings constructed in the 1910s and 1920s. The commercial Italianate and the Queen Anne architectural styles are dominant. The buildings line both sides of Main Street, which is the historic structure.</p><br>
<p>Highland Lake  extends from the northern tip of Westbrook through the western edge of Falmouth into east Windham, Maine. The south end of the lake overflows via Mill Brook 4 mi through Westbrook to the Presumpscot River at Riverton. The shoreline of the lake is heavily developed with residences, seasonal cabins, and a state-owned parking area off Mast Road in Falmouth for the launch of canoes and car-top boats. The deeper northern basin of the lake in Windham has been stocked with brown trout, splake, alewife, and occasionally brook trout and land-locked Atlantic salmon. The shallow southern basin is favorable habitat for white perch and chain pickerel, and has been stocked with largemouth bass.</p><br>

<p>Sam Brown Memorial State Wayside is a historical park in Browns Valley, Minnesota, United States, established in 1929 to honor frontiersman Sam Brown . On April 19, 1866, Brown rode 55 mi to warn other settlers of an impending attack by Native Americans, and when the threat proved false he rode back through a spring blizzard to intercept his dispatch to the USA Army, suffering injuries that left him in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.</p><br>
<p>The park named for Brown includes a log building originally constructed in 1864 at Fort Wadsworth in what is now South Dakota and later moved to Browns Valley by town founder Joseph R. Brown, Sam&#39;s father. The Browns used the building as a residence and place of business. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 as the Fort Wadsworth Agency and Scout Headquarters Building for having local significance in the themes of architecture, exploration/settlement, and military history. It was nominated for being the only surviving log building of Fort Wadsworth, for its association with the noted father-and-son frontier figures, and as a rare example of post-and-plank construction.</p><br>

<p>Peter Grant was a native of Berwick, Maine who moved to Gardiner in 1790. Finding financial success in land speculation and the merchant trade, Grant purchased 200 acre between Gardiner and Hallowell in 1800, and built a house there. His first house was destroyed by fire, and he had this house built in 1830 as its replacement. The house remained in the hands of the Grant family until 1865, and was owned by members of the Skehan family for a significant portion of the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>Stone Gappe is an 18th-century house in Lothersdale, North Yorkshire, England; it is a Grade II* listed building.</p><br>

<p>In the site that was occupied by Convent of the Brígidas, just near of the Florida Park, works started on August 4 of 1907 based on the plans by architects Julián Apraiz and Javier de Luque and with the help of José Cadena y Eleta, bishop of Vitoria by then.</p><br>
<h3>Second constructive period (1946-1969)</h3><br>
<p>The popularly named "ruins" of the Cathedral were covered by ivy and weeds. Works were not restarted until 1946, once the Spanish Civil War was ended. They were economically helped by the bishop Carmelo Ballester Nieto and directed by the architect Miguel de Apraiz Barreiro, Julian&#39;s son.</p><br>
<p>Construction proceeded slowly, respecting the initial style but incorporating the new techniques of concrete and artificial stone. In 1949 the ambulatory and lower cruise were ended. Until 1952 tall ship of the presbytery, the north side portal and a tower lowered instead of the original dome were built. Between 1960 and 1963 the windows made in the first period were placed, and the ambulatory reliefs by the artist :es:Enrique Monjo.

<p>The Wells-Stubbs House is a historic residence located in Fairfield, Iowa, United States. This house was built for George and Priscilla Wells in 1874. Its notoriety is derived from the residency of Daniel P. Stubbs, who lived here from 1877 to 1905. Stubbs was a leader in the Greenback Party in Iowa, and he served as their candidate for state and national offices. Early in his law career he was a partner with future congressman and Senator from Iowa, James F. Wilson. Stubbs was a successful defense attorney, as well as an attorney for the railroads. While still a Republican, he was elected mayor of Fairfield and to the Iowa Senate. He did not hold office as a Greenbacker.</p><br>
<p>The two-story, frame house was built in a vernacular form of the Italianate style. Stubbs added the Neoclassical details in a 1900 renovation. The bracketed eaves and the main entry in the center of the facade are original to the house, but the central location is an unusual feature for the vernacular forms in Fairfield where the entry is off-center. The prominent entry tower and porch were added in the 1900 renovation. The significance of the additions are increased by their association with Stubbs who wanted his house to have a stature equal to his own. In addition to the house the historic designation includes two outbuildings: a shed/summer kitchen near the rear porch and a barn near the rear property line. Both date from Stubb&#39;s time, and may predate his living here. They were all listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>

<p>Monte Kronio, or Monte San Calogero, is a hill about 7 km from Sciacca, a comune of the province of Agrigento in Sicily.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>With a height of 395.48 metres, the hill is composed mostly of limestone. It is a nature reserve administered by the state forestry agency of the Regione Siciliana.</p><br>
<p>On the mountain is the "Sanctuary of San Calogero," from the 16th century, the Antiquarium and various natural caves which emit geothermal gas, the most well-known of which is the so-called "Stove of San Calogero."</p><br>
<p>The vast area behind the settlement of Sciacca, which culminates in Monte Kronio, may be the site of an ancient volcano, which even today shows some activity, however slight, through the emission of sulphur vapours. This theory is supported by the presence of Graham Island off the coast, a volcanic island forming part of a wider "Empedoclean" system, so it cannot be ruled out that Monte Kronio was a vent of a larger volcanic system in the distant past.</p><br>
<h2>Antiquarium of Monte Kronio</h2><br>
<p>On the mountain there is the "Antiquarium di Monte Kronio - Stufe di S. Calogero" museum, a thermal complex and a series of karst caves which were used for health purposes in antiquity. The antiquarium was established in the 1980s and contains discoveries from local excavations. The site is managed by the Soprintendenza of cultural heritage for Agrigento.</p><br>
<h3>The "Stove of San Calogero"</h3><br>
<p>The cave with this name is 9.4 metres long and 4.2 metres wide and reaches a maximum height of c. 4 metres. Inside the temperature varies between 36 and 42 °C, depending on the season and time of day.</p><br>
<p>Because of the high temperature, people once spent time in the cave, which was created by Daedalus in the territory of the Sicans according to legend, as a cure for arthritis rheumatism, gout, and sciatica. Seats, benches and drilled holes into which effected limbs must have been inserted were carved in the interior walls.</p><br>
<p>Following a survey carried out in 1880 by professor Silvestro Zinno on behlaf of the comunale council of Sciacca, the comune proposed to turn this into a spa.</p><br>
<h2>Sanctuary of San Calogero</h2><br>
<p>The basilica sanctuary of San Caloero was built in 1530 and belonged to the Third Order Regular of St. Francis of Penance from 1948. Pope John Paul II raised it to the status of a minor basilica in 1979. It contains a statue of the saint, made by Antonello Gagini.</p><br>
<h2>Ancient winemaking</h2><br>
<p>In 2012 copper age jars dating from the fourth millennium BC were found in a cave on Monte Kronio. Organic samples taken from the jars proved to contain tartaric acid and its salt, confirming the use of the vessel as wine containers. The site is the location of one of the earliest known evidences of winemaking, dating back 6000 years, a similar age to the evidence from Areni in Armenia.</p><br>
<p>The R.R. and Antoinette Louden House, also known as the Thomas A. and Dorothy C. Louden House, is a historic residence located in Fairfield, Iowa, United States. R.R.  Louden was the highly successful manager of the Louden Machinery Company advertising department in the 1920s, and he served as the corporation&#39;s secretary from 1931 until his death in 1951. He and his wife Antoinette had this house built in 1925. He lived here until his death in 1951. Their son Thomas and his wife Dorothy lived in the house after his parents. Thomas became general legal counsel for the company in the 1940s. The house is 2½-story, brick Colonial Revival with a side gable roof. It features a wall chimney on the east elevation, a single-story solarium, and a single-story porch on the main facade. An addition was added to the rear of the house in 1956. A two-car attached garage was built onto the addition in the 1980s. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The Saint John Ponds are a chain of shallow lakes at the headwaters of the Baker Branch Saint John River in the North Maine Woods. The flow sequence is from the Upper First Saint John Pond, through the Lower First Saint John Pond, Second Saint John Pond, Third Saint John Pond, and Fourth Saint John Pond to the Fifth Saint John Pond. Flow from one pond to the next is sometimes called Baker Stream rather than the Baker Branch Saint John River. Great Northern Paper Company dug a canal from Fifth Saint John Pond 2 mi eastward to the North Branch Penobscot River in 1939, and built a dam at the north end of Fifth Saint John Pond so pulpwood logs harvested in the upper Saint John River watershed could be floated down the Penobscot River to Millinocket, Maine. The canal and dam have fallen into disrepair so most drainage from the ponds again flows down the Saint John River. All upstream ponds with the exception of the first had dams to regulate discharge flow for log driving, but those dams have similarly fallen into disrepair. Moose use the ponds as summer refuge from heat and biting insects.</p><br>
<h2>First Saint John Pond</h2><br>
<p>The first pond is the smallest of the chain. The pond has an upper and lower basin connected by a narrow neck less than 200 yd long. The upper basin is spring fed with a firm, rocky shoreline, while the lower basin is surrounded by boggy, organic mud. Beaver sometimes construct dams below one or both basins which may raise the water level by approximately 2 ft. Native brook trout and yellow perch live in both basins, but during warmer summer weather trout favor the cooler water where springs emerge in the upper basin.</p><br>
<h2>Second Saint John Pond</h2><br>
<p>The west end of the second pond is 800 yd south of the overflow from the south end of the lower basin of the first pond. The east end of the second pond overflows into the third pond 1 mi to the east. The second pond is the shallowest of the chain, and offers the least favorable habitat for brook trout. White sucker and yellow perch are well adapted to the muddy bottom of the second pond.</p><br>
<h2>Third Saint John Pond</h2><br>
<p>The overflow stream from the second pond is augmented by drainage from 30 acre Robinson Pond before reaching the west side of the third pond. The east side of the third pond overflows to the fourth pond 2 mi to the east. Fallfish, white sucker, and yellow perch thrive in the third pond; and brook trout retreat to areas fed by cool springs during warm summer weather.</p><br>
<h2>Fourth Saint John Pond</h2><br>
<p>The overflow stream from the third pond is augmented by Austin Brook from 43 acre Austin Pond and by Summit Brook from 52 acre Summit Pond before reaching the south end of the fourth pond. The Seboomook Lake and Saint John Railroad followed Summit Brook from Summit Pond and along the east shore of the fourth pond from 1922 to 1946. The north end of the fourth pond overflows to the fifth pond 3 mi to the north. The fourth pond is the deepest of the chain. Fallfish, white sucker, and yellow perch dominate the fourth pond, but brook trout do well in the tributaries.</p><br>
<h2>Fifth Saint John Pond</h2><br>
<p>The fifth pond is the largest of the chain. The water level dropped 10 ft when the dam was abandoned, and the formerly flooded area south of the original pond is boggy. The boggy area receives flow from Beaver Brook and Span Brook in addition to overflow from the fourth pond. The fifth pond has hornpout in addition to the species in the upstream ponds.</p><br>

<p>The Heald House is a historic house at 19 West Street in Waterville, Maine. Built in 1916 to a design by Herbert E. Knapp, it is the city&#39;s only substantial example of Prairie School architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Heald House stands in a residential area west of downtown Waterville, at the southeast corner of West and Carroll Streets. It is a two story wood frame structure, with a hip roof, stuccoed walls, and a concrete foundation, and is scaled to fit in with the surrounding Colonial Revival and Queen Anne houses. It exhibits a mix of Craftsman and Prairie School features, the latter including extended eaves, and the former its exposed rafters. To the left of the main block a single-story enclosed porch projects, its openings consisting of rounded arches. The arches are repeated in the main entry porch, located on the right side of the front facade. The interior of the building retains original decorative materials, including mahogany French doors, parquet flooring, and marble thresholds.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1916 for Arthur and Helen Heald, who were Massachusetts natives. The house was designed by Herbert E. Knapp, a Waterville native who worked in the area, primarily as a building contractor, only until 1918. It is his only known architectural commission in the state, and is one of the state&#39;s few examples of Prairie School architecture.</p><br>
<p>Gunter Mansion, 37–39 Cross Street, Abergavenny, Monmouthshire is a house of the early 17th century. It was built around 1600 and mentioned in 1678 in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom as a place of public Catholic worship. It the final place of prayer for Saint David Lewis before his execution on 27 August 1679. It is a Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>After the Reformation and the Act of Supremacy 1558, in 1600, Thomas Gunter, a local Roman Catholic, built the house. A secret chapel was built in the attic of the house. On 12 April 1678, John Arnold (the MP for Monmouthshire), told the House of Commons, ‘that he had seen a public chapel near the house of Mr Thomas Gunter, a papist convict, in Abergavenny, adorned with the mark of the Jesuits on the outside, and is informed that Mass is said there by Captain Evans, a reported Jesuit, and by the aforesaid David Lewis in that very great numbers resort to the said chapel and very often at Church time, and he hath credibly heard that hundreds have gone out of the said chapel when not forty have gone out of the said church, that the said chapel is situate in a public street of the said town, and doth front the street. That year, with the Titus Oatess plot, a Jesuit priest, David Lewis was arrested at St Michael&#39;s Church, Llantarnam. He prayed in the Gunter Mansion chapel before being executed in Usk.</p><br>
<p>In 1864, the central area of the house was divided from the rest and became the Parrot Inn. In 1898, it became the Cardiff Arms. In 1907, two brothers, Thomas and Edwin Foster bought and repaired the building. They discovered evidence for the existence of the chapel in the house attic. A mural showing the Adoration of the Magi was found and given to the Abergavenny Castle Museum along with the original door from the front entrance. Other than repairs to the chimney in 1913, and an extension to the rear of the house, the building has not been altered since 1907. In January 2017 the building was bought by the Welsh Georgian Trust.</p><br>
<p>The William and Mary Jane Louden House is a historic residence located in Fairfield, Iowa, United States. It historical significance is derived from its association with William Louden, a co-founder of Louden Machinery Company with his brother R.B. Previously, he secured his first two patents by 1867: one was for hay-stacking, and another was for hay-carrying. He would go on to obtain over 100 more patents. Being the inventive genius of the firm, William brought it to a national reputation in barn construction and farm equipment. The house is a 2½-story, frame, single family dwelling. It was built for the Louden&#39;s by C.E. Ward from 1896 to 1897 in the Queen Anne style. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>

<p>Downtown LaPorte Historic District is a national historic district located at LaPorte, LaPorte County, Indiana. The district encompasses 70 contributing buildings in the central business district of LaPorte. It developed between about 1860 and 1930, and includes examples of Queen Anne, Romanesque Revival, and Neoclassical style architecture. Notable buildings include the Zahrt Blocks , Ridgway Hotel , Higday and Collins Blocks , LaPorte County Courthouse , Odd Fellows Building , Lonns Block , Peoples Bank , USA Post Office , New York Central Depot , Masonic Temple , and Hotel Rumely .</p><br>
<p>It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Downtown LaPorte Historic District reflects the development of LaPorte from a small town into a major manufacturing center</p><br>
<p>La Porte was settled in 1830 and platted in 1833. With the arrival of the railroad in the 1850s, which first spurred the development of the business district. Among the earliest extant buildings in the district are the Zahrt Blocks built in 1874 and 1868, and the Ridgway Hotel built in 1863. These Italianate buildings are examples of the two-and three-story brick commercial buildings, which lined La Porte&#39;s downtown area. Common arch architectural details if the Italianate include: pressed metal cornices and window hoods, and storefronts with cast-iron columns.</p><br>
<p>The downtown area occupies the location where two pre-European trails met. The number of lakes and wetlands to the north forced the town to firmer ground. The railroads arrived in the 1850s reinforcing development south of the lakes. Industrial growth was the main source of jobs until after World War I. The downtown reflects the legacy of commercial and civic history. Many of the structures have three stories: ground floor commercial with upper floors a combination of professional and residential use.</p><br>
<p>The earliest buildings were constructed between the Civil War and the Panic of 1873. The Zahrt blocks (607-609 Michigan Avenue), constructed in 1868 and 1874, respectively, were purchased on speculation and resold to the developer. The tin brackets at the cornice and tin window hoods suggest a showiness that belies the buildings&#39; otherwise severe and simple lines. The interiors are simple and lack any extravagance, indicating that the worth of the land was perceived to be rapidly escalating. In fact, other buildings like these were demolished and replaced with taller buildings as early as 1890. Another example of this type of development is the former Ridgway Hotel (401 Michigan), which was constructed in 1863. Its boxy mass is relieved with the use of window hoods, an elaborate cornice, and oriel windows. The structures along the 800 block of Lincolnway (810-20 Lincolnway) and those of the 700 block of Lincolnway follow this same design—consistent cornice lines, sparse Italianate detailing with window hoods, and boxy massing. This was the norm throughout the 1870s.</p><br>
<p>Many of these early commercial buildings were replaced during the late nineteenth century. The focal point of the district, the La Porte County Courthouse, was constructed between 1890-1894. This Richardsonian Romanesque building was designed by Brentwood Tolan, who also designed other Indiana county courthouses. Many of the commercial buildings constructed during this period-exhibited ornate facades reflecting the owners prospering businesses. The Lonn Block, the Ridgway Block, the Frederickson Building and the Guggenheim-Weil Building all prominently displayed the businessmens names and the construction dates on their facades. Major buildings such as the citys post office, the train depot, and the Masonic Temple reflected a thriving economy. Commercial buildings such as the Hotel Rumely, the Peoples Trust Savings Bank, the commercial building at 711 Indiana Avenue, and the Rumely Company Showroom were also built during this era.</p><br>

<p>912 Peoples Trust Savings Bank; Neo-Classical, 1912 In the commercial district, Alien redesigned the facade of a former typical storefront and created the Peoples Bank. The band is a typical "Greek temple bank" of limestone. What makes it special is that Alien imposed the facade on an otherwise flat surface. The combination of a projecting pediment and a receding arch make the entrance imposing and seemingly larger than its neighbors. Despite the addition of nonconforming display cases in the front, this facade is one of the best of its kind anywhere in the area. With the maturing of land values at the turn of the century, owners of existing structures improved them with new facades. LaPorte architect George Alien designed a number of homes for wealthy clients and was facile in a number of different styles. His major commissions included the Methodist Church (neo-Gothic), LaPorte High School (eclectic) and several large homes along Indiana and Michigan Avenues (Classic Revival and Prairie School).</p><br>
