<p>The John D. Conley House was built in 1888 in Laramie, Wyoming for University of Wyoming professor John D. Conley. In 1890 Conley became acting president of the university, serving until 1891 when he reverted to a professorship and sold the house to an eventual president, Elmer E. Smiley. Smiley served from 1898 to 1903, selling the house in 1903 to C.D. Spalding, president of the Albany National Bank. The Spalding family sold the house in 1924 to the Wyoming Diocese of the Episcopal Church, who owned it until 1946. From 1946 it was owned by Christenna Christensen, who operated it as a boarding house. In 1966 it became a private residence.</p><br>
<p>The two-story wood-frame Victorian style house is about 31 ft wide and 45 ft deep. It has three porches and detailing resembling half-timbering at the attic level. There are four main rooms downstairs and five bedrooms upstairs.</p><br>
<p>The Conley House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 15, 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Inostrantsev Glacier  is one of the major glaciers in Novaya Zemlya, Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia.</p><br>
<p>It was named after Russian geologist, member of the Russian Academy of Sciences and professor at St. Petersburg University Alexander Alexandrovich Inostrantsev (Александр Александрович Иностранцев) by Arctic explorer Georgy Sedov.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Inostrantsev Glacier is located on the western side of northern Severny Island of Novaya Zemlya. Flowing from the Severny Island ice cap, it is a roughly southeast-northwest oriented tidewater glacier and its front, where other three smaller tributary glaciers merge, has a width of over 3 km. Its terminus is at the Inostrantsev Bay (Zaliv Inostrantseva) of the Barents Sea, a 14 km wide and 130 m deep fjord.</p><br>
<p>Castle Carra is a hall house and National Monument located in County Mayo, Ireland.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Castle Carra is located 2.5 km west of Carnacon, on the east bank of Lough Carra. It lies on the edge of Black Hole, the deepest part of the lake.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Castle Carra was built by Adam de Staunton (Staundun), an Anglo-Norman subject of the de Burgo, in the 13th century. The plinth, bawn, outbuilding and gateways were added by the MacEvilly (Mac an Mhilidh).</p><br>
<p>The castle was surrendered to the Crown in the 1570s and granted to Captain William Bowen, who strengthened the bawn with a circular flanker with gunloops facing inland.</p><br>
<p>Sir Roebuck Lynch&#39;s lands were seized by the Cromwellians and he was compensated by lands at Castle Carra during the early seventeenth century. It passed to Sir Henry Lynch, 3rd Baronet in the 1660s, and his descendants held it until the 19th century.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>Castle Carra is a rectangular hall house.</p><br>
<p>The South Hero Inn is a historic commercial building at 301 United States Route 2  in the center of South Hero, Vermont. Built in 1829, it is a prominent local example of a stone building with Federal and Greek Revival features, and served as a traveler accommodation until the early 1970s. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. It now houses a bank.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former South Hero Inn building occupies a prominent location at the central intersection of South Hero, set at the southwest corner of its major crossroads, the junction of South Street and US 2. It is a 2-1/2 story stone structure, with a gabled roof and a two-story wood-frame ell projecting to the west. It presents formal facades to both roads, with its main roof gable set parallel to South Street. The more elaborate facade faces US 2, with a two-story porch across the three-bay facade, supported by square posts, with a decorative valance and low balustrades. The gable above the porch has modillion blocks in the eaves, and a Federal style fan at the center of the pediment. The facade facing South Street is five bays, with a center entrance flanked by sidelight windows and sheltered by a gabled porch with a similar valance and turned posts. Most windows are sash, set in rectangular openings. The walls consist of quarried square-cut hammered stone blocks.</p><br>
<p>The inn was built in 1929, and served as an accommodation for travelers until the 1970s. It is set on a historically major travel route between Burlington and points in Canada, and in the later 19th century served tourists and people taking the cures of local mineral springs.</p><br>
<p>The Cicero Goddard Peck House is a historic house at 18 Mechanicsville Road in Hinesburg, Vermont. Built in 1896 by a prominent town benefactor, it is a well-preserved example of Queen Anne Victorian architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Cicero Goddard Peck House stands in the village Hinesburg, on the south side of Mechanicsville Road just east of its junction with Vermont Route 116. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, basically L-shaped, with a main block whose gable is perpendicular to the road, and a side ell with a cross gable. A single-story porch is set at the crook of the ell, and a polygonal three-story tower projects from the front right corner. The exterior is finished in a combination of wooden clapboards and scallop-cut shingles, and there is a projecting single-story polygonal bay on the front facade. The porch is supported by turned posts, and has a balustrade with square balusters. The interior of the house retains many original period finishes and features, including pocket doors, a china cabinet in the dining room, and original moulding and floors.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1896 for Cicero Goddard Peck. The Peck family was locally prominent: Pecks uncle Asahel served as Governor of Vermont, and his father Nahum was a lawyer who also served in the state legislature. Peck himself was a prominent local dairy farmer, who helped organize a local cooperative and served in town offices. He bequested to the town an endowment known as the Peck Estate, whose proceeds support the towns schools.</p><br>
<p>Lake Scranton is a lake in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, with a 3.5 mile running track surrounding it. The lake is considered to be a reservoir built with a dam in the early 1900s. The lake borders East Mountain and Scranton, Pennsylvania. The lake is owned by the Pennsylvania American Water Company which supplies the city with drinking water.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The lake formed by the dam built by William Walker Scranton in 1898 was called the "Burned Bridge Reservoir", though the public called the lake "Lake Scranton".</p><br>
<p>Lake Scranton was featured in Season 3 Episode 22 of The Office titled "Beach Games." Steve Carells character of office manager Michael Scott incorrectly referred to it as "Americas 8th largest indigenous body of water."</p><br>
<p>Îlot Saint-Michel  is an uninhabited island in the English Channel off the coast of Brittany in Côtes-dArmor, France, near the resort of Sables-dOr-les-Pins. It is part of the commune of Erquy and is accessible by foot during low tide.</p><br>
<p>Located on the island is a small chapel, La Chapelle Saint-Michel de Rochecoul. The late 19th-century chapel replaced earlier structures that have been on the island since the Middle Ages, and was completely renovated in the 21st century. The chapel is a place of pilgrimage for locals each 29 September for the Feast day of Saint Michael.</p><br>
<h2>Toponymy</h2><br>
<p>The island takes its name from the chapel dedicated to the Archangel Michael. According to local mythology: in the ancient time when the island was connected to the mainland, the devil was traveling nearby and Saint Michael wanted to stop him. The devil decided to pursue the saint himself and followed him. The archangel walked towards the sea, and when he arrived on the furthest point of the land that forms the island today, he looked back and stamped his foot. The land split and the sea poured in, and the devil and his imps were dragged into the sea. Since then, the devil no longer came to earth. In memory of this miracle, a chapel was later built on the island and dedicated to Saint Michael, at which time the island rock turned red. An alternate version is that the rocks turned red when Saint Michael stamped his foot on the ground.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original church was founded by Cistercian monks of the. The first mention of the island was in 1249, when a wealthy woman named Haîssa bequeathed 12 deniers to the church on Roche au Nai (Nai Rock). Over time the chapel became the property of the local municipality. In 1640, the rectors lobbied for the chapel to be returned to the monks.</p><br>
<p>In 1725, the rector wrote:</p><br>
<p>"There is a chapel under the invocation of Saint Michael three-quarters of a league from town, built on a rock out in the sea, whose passage is prevented by the tide, forcing the Bernardine monks to say Mass every year on the Feast of Saint Michael on the beach in a rocky area covered with a sail. This puts the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in great danger of an accident. The monseigneur forbade them from celebrating Mass in the sail, however, it has always been continued in the same place by the religious."</p><br>
<p>The rocks were later called les roches prêcheresses ("the preaching rocks"). In 1770, the island became communal property. Its last known inhabitant was a hermit who lived there in the 19th century.</p><br>
<h2>Chapel</h2><br>
<p>The chapel is constructed of pink sandstone in the gothic style. It survived the French Revolution and was included in the land registry of 1810.</p><br>
<p>By 1879, the chapel was completely dilapidated. In 1880, the municipality, along with funds from a public subscription, raised money to build a new chapel. Designed by architect Jules Morvan of Saint-Brieuc, the chapel was blessed 9 October 1881. The steeple is topped with a cast iron statue of Archangel Michael slaying the devil.</p><br>
<p>During the German occupation of France in World War II, the church was unused, as landmines in the dunes made it too dangerous to access. A German shell fired during a military drill struck the steeple of the chapel and caused it to collapse. It was rebuilt after the war, and worship at the church resumed for a while. Within a few years it fell into disuse, and was only used by fishermen seeking shelter in bad weather. A statue of Saint Michael, the furniture, and even the door were all stolen.</p><br>
<p>During the Great Storm of 1987, gale-force winds knocked the steeple over again, breaking the wings of the Archangel Michael. The city repaired the damage but still the chapel was only used for shelter for fishermen.</p><br>
<p>The chapel underwent a massive renovation in 2002–04, sponsored by the "Friends of the La Chapelle Saint-Michel" Association, with the financial support of the commune of Erquy, the General Council of Côtes-d&#39;Armor, the Regional Council of Brittany, and the Langlois Foundation. A team of volunteers helped pull 15 tons of material to the top of the island via boats. Nearly 1,000 people came out for Feast day of Saint Michael 2003 with an outdoor Mass and a procession to the church.</p><br>
<p>In addition to the annual Feast day of Saint Michael in September, a pardon is held every August, featuring an outdoor mass in the morning followed by a procession to the chapel and a picnic.</p><br>

<p>The Richford Primary School is a historic school building at 140 Intervale Avenue in Richford, Vermont. Built in 1903 to address an overcrowding problem in the local schools, it served the town until 1968, and has since been converted into residential use. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Richford Primary School building stands in a residential area on the west side of Richfords main village, on the east side of Intervate Avenue overlooking the Missisquoi River. It is a roughly square 2-1/2 story brick building, with a gabled roof that has the gable end facing the street. The main facade, four bays wide, faces north toward the parking lot, with the main entrance in the leftmost bay, sheltered by a gable-roofed porch. The entrance is set in a round-arch opening, and is flanked by sidelight windows in narrow segmented-arch openings. Other windows are also set in segmented-arch openings, with brick headers and stone sills. A modern wood-frame ell extends to the main blocks east.</p><br>
<p>The town of Richford began consolidating its district schools in 1892, after the state abolished the district school system. This combined with compulsory school attendance requirements led to an increase in the need for school space. The town&#39;s Second Academy, built in 1894 on the site of the First Academy (destroyed by fire), was by 1900 suffering from overcrowding. The present school was built adjacent to the Second Academy in 1903 by L.B. Parker at a cost of $6,000. It served the town until 1968, and was used by a local business as storage until 2003, when it underwent conversion to senior housing.</p><br>
<p>The Joshua Twing Gristmill is a historic industrial facility at 450 North Main Street in the city of Barre, Vermont. Built in 1844, it is a remarkably high-style example of Greek Revival architecture for an essentially utilitarian industrial structure. Joshua Twing, its builder, was engaged for many years in a variety of industrial pursuits, primarily considered with engineering improvements in water wheels and turbines. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Joshua Twing Gristmill is located north of downtown Barre, in an industrial area on the west side of North Main Street (United States Route 302) south of its junction with Berlin Street. It is set between the road and railroad tracks that parallel it and the Stevens Branch of the Winooski River. It is a 2-3/4 story brick building with a gabled roof. Windows are set in rectangular openings, with stone sills and lintels. Projecting from the center of the main facade is an unusual stair tower, whose ground level is fronted by a brick wall with stone headers, and is open at the sides, allowing a wagon to pass underneath the second level. A large entrance is set in a granite frame on the second level, and was originally accessed by stairs that have been removed. The interior of the stair tower includes trap doors to facilitate the movement of goods to the building&#39;s third level. The interior of the building has a number of high-style Greek Revival features, including a double-spiral staircase and marbleized columns.</p><br>
<p>Joshua Twing purchased this property in 1807, at which time a sawmill and gristmill stood on it. Over a period of decades, he built a series of mills and industrial structures on the property, of which this gristmill is the only one to survive. Twing&#39;s major business was in the production of iron parts, for which he built a foundry in 1818. He produced parts for use in mills, including waterwheels and possibly turbines, but also engaged in other pursuits, including the custom grinding of grains. The facilities continued to be used until the turn of the 20th century for the production of water power technology; most of the complex was demolished in the 1960s.</p><br>
<p>The Phoenix was a sidewheel paddle steamer operating on Lake Champlain between the United States states of New York and Vermont and the British province of Lower Canada . Built in 1815, she grounded, burned and sank in 1819 off the shore of Colchester, Vermont. Her surviving wreckage  is the oldest known example of a sidewheel steamer anywhere in the world. The wreck site is a Vermont State Historic Site, which may be visited by registered and qualified divers. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Phoenix was a wooden frame steamship, with a total length of 146 ft, a beam of 27 ft, and a hull depth of 9.25 ft. Her keel measured 125 ft, to which a 120 ft keelson was bolted for added stability. There were 66 full frames along the hull length. The area amidships featured additional stringers and timbering to support the heavy steam engine that was located there. She was reported to have a gracefully curved hull that flared out in a manner similar to whaleboats. She was powered by a steeple engine, which was supplemented by windpower provided from sails attached to a single mast.</p><br>
<p>The Phoenix was built in 1815 by the Lake Champlain Steam-boat Company at its shipyard in Vergennes, Vermont, under the direction of Jahaziel Sherman. She was the second steamer to sail on Lake Champlain, after the Vermont (launched in 1808), which was the first regularly operated steamship anywhere. The Phoenix was fitted with a steam engine that had previously been used on another steamship that had sailed on the Hudson River. She was operated for four years on a route between Whitehall, New York and Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu in what is now the Canadian province of Quebec. In 1817, she carried President James Monroe from Burlington, Vermont to Plattsburgh, New York, and in 1818 she carried the remains of American Revolutionary War general Richard Montgomery, en route from Quebec City (where he died in the 1775 Battle of Quebec) to his final resting place in New York City.</p><br>
<p>On September 4, 1819, she caught fire after departing Burlington. Most of the passengers and crew safely made their escape, but six perished due to the flames or drowning. The ship grounded on Colchester Reef and was burned to the waterline. The company salvaged equipment from the wreck, including the steam engine, and the remnant hulk was dragged off the reef the following spring and allowed to sink. There was a great deal of speculation at the time that the fire was deliberately set by individuals unhappy with the advent of steam powered ships.</p><br>
<p>The shipwreck was discovered in September 4, 1978, exactly 159 years after her demise. She lies on the sloping bottom of the lake, between 60 and 110 feet depth. The wreck is about 40% complete, the consequence of post-fire salvage, subsequent salvage work, and the ravages of time.</p><br>
<p>The William Goodale House, also known as the University of Wyoming Alumni House, is a Tudor Revival style residence built in 1931 for William and Ethel Goodale in Laramie, Wyoming. The house was designed by Wyoming architects William DuBois and F.W. Ambrose.</p><br>
<p>Ethel Miller Goodale was a sister of Leslie A. Miller, Wyoming governor from 1933 to 1939. Her father A.E. Miller had been mayor of Laramie. William Goodale owned a Hudson automobile dealership and was involved in the First State Bank of Laramie. The Goodales lived in the house until 1942, when Mr. and Mrs. George Forbes bought the house. The surrounding neighborhood became more commercial over time and many of the neighboring houses were torn down. In 1990 the University of Wyoming Alumni Association bought the house for its headquarters.</p><br>
<p>The two-story house was constructed by the Speigelberg Lumber Company of Wyoming sandstone with brick decorative accents with a sandstone wall partially surrounding the property. The roof is covered by terra-cotta tiles. Windows include leaded panels and opal glass in a variety of configurations. Masonry is rustic and the roof tiles wrap over the eaves. The brick accents in the attic gables resemble half-timbering.</p><br>
<p>The William Goodale House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 5, 1991.</p><br>
<p>Alendan lake  is a lake with 17 hectare span located in Sari County. This lake belongs to Quaternary era and has recorded in The national index of Iran in 2015.</p><br>
<p>This lake is also called Pelle Azni because of the nearby village, Azni. The best way for going the lake is through Azni village, which has a flat way to the lake. The lake has a 70 km distance from Sari and located in Sari-Semnan road. (About two hour way from Semnan) The lake is 1200 m higher than sea level.</p><br>
<p>This lake is the main source of water for paddy fields of near villages like Azni, Mazarostaq, Konta, Didu and Zalam. However no river water comes to the lake, rain full fills the lake.</p><br>
<p>In recent years, fish farming has developed in the lake.</p><br>
<p>Plenty of various trees, including carpinus betulus, oak, ulmus glabra and tilia, surrounded the lake.</p><br>
<p>The Jelm-Frank Smith Ranch Historic District, also known as Old Jelm and Cummins City, comprises an area of bottomland on the Laramie River near Woods Landing, Wyoming where the mining boomtown of Cummins City, Wyoming was established in 1880. Gold had been discovered in the nearby mountains and the town was established by W.S. "Buck" Bramel and John Cummins. In 1881 Cummins City was described as having about 100 houses and a hotel. By this time the camp was already declining, and by 1886 mining in the district was largely inactive. However, in the 1890s copper was discovered in the Sierra Madre and Medicine Bow ranges. Cummins City was revived as Jelm in 1900. This boom also declined and in 1930 Jelm&#39;s population was 50.</p><br>
<p>Frank Smith worked in Cummins City and Jelm during the mining booms and remained afterwards, establishing a homestead. Smith died in 1945having expanded his holdings to 10,000 acre. The ranch buildings comprise the principle remnants of Jelm. Nineteen buildings comprise the historic district. Most are of log construction on stone foundations. Buildings include a combination school/chutrch, several sheds, houses, cabins, barns and dugouts, a bar, an oculist&#39;s shop and the ranch headquarters.</p><br>
<p>Jelm was the setting for location shooting for the Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. movie The Man from Painted Post in 1917 after the crew was asked to leave Rock River by a disapproving mayor.</p><br>
<p>The Jelm-Frank Smith Ranch Historic District was established on August 31, 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Marine Reservation Historic District is in the northwestern area of the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, just west of the Hospital Reservation Historic District. Beginning in 1911 it reached its maximum development, prior to World War II. The district included four standing buildings and a barracks, which has been demolished. The barracks was a -story brick building similar in design to the other buildings. All of the buildings face the Marine parade ground, which is used as a playfield.</p><br>
<p>The four two-story quarters of brick have Colonial Revival influences in the Georgian Colonial details. Quarters M-l, M-2 and M-3 were designed by Washington, D.C. architect J.H. DeDibour in 1910. The district is a man-made bench cut into the hillside. Each building has a front, side and rear lawn, native plantings and garden areas. The garages were built in the 1930s.</p><br>
<p>One year after the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard was established its founding commandant, Lieutenant Ambrose B. Wyckoff, requested a Marine detachment to provide yard security. It was not until 1896, however, that First Sergeant George Carter, along with twenty Marines, were sent to Bremerton. The Marine Reservation was established on what is now the corner of the yard bounded by Chester Avenue and the alley south of Burwell Street. By 1899, an officers quarters and barracks building had been constructed. Constructed between 1911 and 1914, the buildings in this district symbolize the role which the Marine Corps played as a security and training arm of the United States Navy, a function which began at the shipyard in 1896 and continued until 1977, when the function was moved to Subase Bangor.</p><br>
<h2>Puget Sound Naval Shipyard Historic Districts</h2><br>
<p>The Puget Sound Naval Shipyard contains five historic districts:</p><br>
<p>Officers&#39; Row Historic District</p><br>
<p>Puget Sound Radio Station Historic District</p><br>
<p>Hospital Reservation Historic District</p><br>
<p>Puget Sound Naval Shipyard Historic District; and</p><br>
<p>Marine Reservation Historic District.</p><br>
<p>These five units are a comprehensive representation of the historic features of the naval shipyard.</p><br>
<p>The Lehman-Tunnell Mansion, also known as the Tunnell House, is a Queen Anne style house in Laramie, Wyoming, built in 1891. The house was built by Frank Cook for merchant Edward Lehman and his wife Pauline. In 1919 the Lehmans sold the house to Edward&#39;s business partner Frank J. Terry, who defaulted on his loan. During a period of bank ownership the house served for a time as the Kappa Delta sorority house for the University of Wyoming. In 1940 the house was sold to Dr. H.E. Tunnell, a chiropractor, and his wife Ida. Dr. Tunnell died in 1966 and his widow sold the house in 1970.</p><br>
<p>The rectangular brick house is 2-1/2 stories high with prominent chimneys. The stair landing features a stained glass window of unusual quality. Interior wood work was built by Frank Spiegelberg. The house has a strongly rusticated foundation. Curved arches emphasize the front windows and a projecting front porch, and the side bay follows a similar curving line in plan.</p><br>
<p>The Lehman-Tunnell Mansion was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 8, 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Jim Baker Cabin was built in 1873 by frontiersman Jim Baker as a fortified house on the Little Snake River at Savery Creek near present-day Savery, Wyoming. The two-story log building measures 31 ft by 16 ft with two rooms on the lower level and a single smaller room on the upper level. The outer walls are made of logs 12 in to 15 in thick.</p><br>
<p>Jim Baker was recruited by the American Fur Company in 1839 for an 18-month expedition with Jim Bridger to Wyoming. Baker returned briefly to his home in Illinois in 1841 but returned to the Rocky Mountains with the Bidwell-Bartleson party, where he joined a trapping party on the Little Snake River. The party of 23 fought with about 500 Arapahos, Cheyenne and Sioux on August 21, 1841, losing three of their party and claiming 100 Native American casualties. Following the fight the trapping party retreated to Bridgers camp on the Green River. Baker stayed in the west as a trapper until 1852, when he went on a trip with Kit Carson. He also served as an interpreter and scout. He was one of the first permanent residents in the area of Denver, Colorado, nominally living there from 1859 to 1871, although the residence was primarily inhabited by Bakers wife and family while he traveled. In 1873 Baker and his family moved to the Little Snake valley in Wyoming, where he remained until his death on May 15, 1898.</p><br>
<p>In 1917 interest in preserving the cabin resulted in its purchase by the state of Wyoming, in part to prevent its removal to Denver for display. It was dismantled and moved to Frontier Park in Cheyenne. In 1973 the cabin was moved again to a location close to its original site in Savery.</p><br>
<p>The Baker Cabin was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 8, 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Richwood Estate is a historic house on United States Route 7 in southern Swanton, Vermont. It was built in 1871 for C.W. Rich, owner of a local lime processing company, and is a distinctive example of Second Empire architecture using native materials. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Richwood Estate is located in southern Swanton, on the east side of US 7 about 1 mi north of the border with St. Albans. It is set on 9 acre of primarily woodland, between Sugarmaple Drive and Maple Garden Estates. The main house is a 1-1/2 story stone and frame structure, covered by a mansarded hip roof. Its foundation and ground floor are composed of stone from Isle La Motte, with locally quarried redstone trim. The steep edges of the mansard roof are composed of purple slate from Fair Haven, and is pierced by shed-roof dormers. The south-side porch features a round corner pavilion and a porte-cochere. The building&#39;s interior features rich woodwork, and an entrance hall inlaid with three colors of native Vermont marble. Northeast of the house stands a carriage house that continues the rich exterior features of the house.</p><br>
<p>The estate was built in 1871 for C.W. Rich, then Swantons leading businessman. He had since 1847 operated lime processing kilns in the town, and it was then the towns most economically important business. Richwood was sold out of the family in 1947; the towns lime businesses remained in the family until 1976. The primary alterations to the house are the removal of the original cupola (said to be disliked by Richs wife), the addition of the porch to the south side in the 1880s, and the introduction of electricity and plumbing to the interior.</p><br>
<p>The Union Co-operative Store Bakery is a historic commercial building at 46 1/2 Granite Street in the city of Barre, Vermont.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Union Co-operative Store Bakery building stands at the back of the parking lot of the Socialist Labor Party Hall on the east side of Granite Street, a short way off Barre&#39;s Main Street business district. It is a vernacular single-story brick building, with a gabled roof. The front (west-facing) facade has a pair of window openings (now boarded over) flanking a doorway, with the door and right window sheltered by a shed-roof hood supported by large knee brackets. The south facade has an asymmetrically placed grouping of window openings flanking a large opening with a garage door. A small flat-roofed brick addition extends north, with a further wood-frame shed-roofed addition beyond that.</p><br>
<p>The main portion of the building was built in 1913, and was an extension of the cooperative grocery store operated out of the Labor Party hall. The bakery was established to meet a growing demand among the citys Italian immigrants for traditional bakery products. Both the bakery and the Labor Party were significant institutions of this community. The bakery building was flooded during Vermonts devastating 1927 floods, and the bakery only operated for two years after that. It served as a training ground for an entire generation of the city&#39;s bakers. It was briefly used by a private bakery between 1936 and 1940, and has largely been used for storage since then. None of its baking equipment has survived.</p><br>
<p>The Porter Screen Company is a historic former industrial facility at 110 East Spring Street in Winooski, Vermont. Developed beginning 1910-11, this mill complex was an important secondary industrial employer in the city, shipping window screens and other housing parts nationwide. The facility, now converted to senior housing, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Porter Screen Company mill is located northeast of downtown Winooski, on a triangular parcel of land bounded on the northeast by East Spring Street, and on the south by a railroad right-of-way. The complex consists of a series of interconnected brick and timber-frame buildings, the largest of which are set perpendicular to the railroad and at an angle to the street. The larger elements are either two or three stories in height, with vernacular industrial style, and the largest is clad in novelty siding.</p><br>
<p>The Porter Screen Company was founded in 1881 by E.N. Porter of Hardwick, Vermont, and at first established operations in Burlington. In 1893 the company relocated to Winooski, in facilities on Barlow Street that burned in 1900. The present complex of buildings was built by the company, mostly between 1901 and 1910, to house its operations. The company at first produced a variety of architectural parts, including doors, windows, and adjustable window screens with wooden frames. The latter product came to dominate its production, but fell out of favor with respect to the more popular aluminum-framed screens, and the business was closed in 1952. The building complex served for many years as a warehouse, until its conversion into senior housing.</p><br>
<p>The Birgi is a river in the Province of Trapani, which debouches in the Strait of Sicily between Marsala and Trapani.</p><br>
<h2>Course</h2><br>
<p>The river arises in the territory of the comune of Buseto Palizzolo, where it is called the "Fittasi" river. It flows through the territory of the comune of Trapani and a small part of the comune of Paceco.</p><br>
<p>On its way to the sea, it is joined from the left by the Cuddia river, which provides the majority of its annual water supply and is dammed to provide a water reservoir, called Lake Rubino, which has a capacity of 11.5 million cubic metres of water and a surface area of 1.57 km.</p><br>
<p>Further on, the river receives another tributary, the Chitarra River. Subsequently, the name of the river changes to the Mercanzotto, then the Chinisia, and finally the Birgi. In total the river is about 40 km long and its hydraulic basin covers an area of 330 km</p><br>
<h3>Altered course</h3><br>
<p>The natural mouth of the river was in the frazione of Marausa. The construction of Trapani Airport in 1961 required the course of the river to be moved two kilometres south and an artificial channel was built which now forms the final section of the river.</p><br>
<p>The new course of the Birgi with its new levees was built long before the airport itself - the airport was built at the end of the 1950s, while the channel was built before 1940. The new channel is made of concrete and can be seen already in military aerial photographs from 1955.</p><br>
<p>Cape Berg  is a headland in Severnaya Zemlya, Russia.</p><br>
<p>This cape was named after prominent Soviet geographer and biologist Lev Berg (1876 – 1950).</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Stretching out towards the Laptev Sea east of the Rusanov Glacier, Cape Berg is the northeasternmost point of October Revolution Island.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The shore of present day Severnaya Zemlya was discovered by Boris Vilkitsky in 1913 during the Arctic Ocean Hydrographic Expedition on behalf of the Russian Hydrographic Service.</p><br>
<p>On 3 September 1913 —22 August 1913 in the Julian calendar used by Russia at the time, members of the expedition went to the shore near Cape Berg, on what is now known as October Revolution Island. They raised the Russian flag on the shore and named the new territory Tayvay Land (Земля Тайвай, Zemlya Tayway), after the first syllable of their icebreaker&#39;s names, charting parts of the Laptev Sea coast of what they believed to be a single island. Later the new discovery was named Emperor Nicholas II Land, (Russian: Zemlya Imperatora Nikolaya II), after Emperor Nicholas II of Russia.</p><br>

<p>The Preston–Lafreniere Farm is a historic farm property at Duxbury and Honey Hollow Roads in Bolton, Vermont. Established in the early 19th century, it was operated by five generations of the Preston family through the 1990s. The property includes both a house and barn that date to the early 19th century. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999, and is subject to a conservation easement held by the state.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Preston–Lafreniere Farm is set in a rural area of southwestern Bolton, on 60 acre bounded on the north by the Winooski River and the east by Preston Brook, which descends from the northern slope of Camels Hump to the south. Most of the current property is open fields, the upland woodlots historically associated with the property have been acquired by the state and folded into Camels Hump State Park. The farmstead includes a house and several barns, some of which are connected to each other. The house is set facing north at the southwest corner of Duxbury Road (which roughly parallels the river) and Honey Hollow Road (which parallels the brook), while the barns are across Duxbury Road to the north. The house is a vernacular 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. A saltbox-shaped single-story addition extends to the left side. The interior is relatively little-altered since the turn of the 20th century, the principal change being the introduction of a bathroom about 1940. Across the street stand three barns, two of which are English barns dating to the early decades of the farm&#39;s development. The third is a c. 1940 dairy barn.</p><br>
<p>The property was acquired by John Preston from the towns original proprietors in 1790, and he became one of the towns first permanent settlers. The house and two barns were built by him between 1810 and 1830 (dates of construction are uncertain due to difficulties with the documentary record. The property was farmed by five generations of Prestons, and it was only under the last generation (married into the Lafreniere family) that any significant modernization took place. Even then, the c. 1940 dairy barn was hand-built by Leo Lafreniere, albeit using modern balloon frame construction. The Lafrenieres granted the state a conservation easement on these 60 acres in 1991, and sold the state over 400 acre of uplands for inclusion in Camels Hump State Park, whose conservation Bertha Preston Lafreniere had championed.</p><br>
<p>The Divide Sheep Camp, also known as Niland&#39;s Cabins, is a ranch site on the Little Snake River in Carbon County, Wyoming, near Baggs. The camp was established in 1909 for summer use by sheepmen of the Niland-Tierney Sheep Company and others in the Little Snake valley. Eventually becoming the Divide Sheep Company the company operated until 1974, leaving the structures intact. The principal elements are a one-story log cabin with a finished attic, measuring about 25 ft by 40 ft built in the early 1920s, a log bunkhouse dating to about 1914, a spring house and a generator shed. The site represents a moderately-well-preserved turn-of-the-century sheep camp.</p><br>
<p>The Divide Sheep Camp was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 9, 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Downtown Rawlins Historic District comprises the historic center of Rawlins, Wyoming. It comprises the area between Second and Sixth Streets and Front to Buffalo Streets and along 5th Street between West Spruce and West Cedar.

<p>Contributing structures on Cedar Street include the H. Larson Hardware Store, the Fox Theatre, the Moose Hall, the Blake House, France Memorial Presbyterian Church and several commercial buildings. Other significant contributing structures include the Daley Building, the Osborne Block, the Miller Block, the Post Office, City Hall and other structures. Most of these buildings were built during a boom time between 1920 and 1930.</p><br>
<p>The Downtown Rawlins Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 16, 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Elk Mountain Hotel, also known as the John S. Evans Hotel, Mountain View Hotel and Grandview Hotel was built in 1905 in Elk Mountain, Wyoming on the bank of the Medicine Bow River. The two-story wood frame building was built next to the 1880 Garden Spot Pavilion, a dance hall that was a social center in an otherwise isolated portion of Wyoming. The hotel was built by John Evans, the owner of the Elk Mountain Saloon, who in 1903 had acquired the Pavilion. Evans catered to the mining trade through the 1930s. By that time better roads allowed tourism to increase, and the hotel provided accommodation to hunters and tourists. Evans sold the property in 1947 to Mark and Lucille Jackson, who remodeled the hotel and the pavilion.</p><br>
<p>The hotel features a two-story porch on the narrow front facade. Guest rooms are primarily on the second floor, with public rooms below.</p><br>
<p>The Garden Spot Pavilion was built in 1880 by John S. Jones and expanded in 1920 by Evans. The pavilion attracted major bands during the Big Band Era as well as country and western musicians. Despite the town&#39;s isolation patrons would travel up to 200 mi and bands would play to a packed house. The pavilion featured a sprung dance floor, accomplished by laying the finish floor over widely spaced pine logs, encircled by seating areas. The exterior featured a stepped false front that concealed the gabled roof. Performers playing at the Garden Spot included Lawrence Welk, Tommy Dorsey, Louis Armstrong, Hank Thompson and Jim Reeves.</p><br>
<p>The Elk Mountain Hotel and the now-demolished Garden Spot Pavilion were placed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 10, 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Carstens Farmstead is a collection of historic buildings located south of Shelby, Iowa, United States. Johan Carstens was a German immigrant who spent eight years living and working in Milwaukee, Chicago, and Davenport, Iowa before settling in Pottawattamie County in 1871, where he established this farm. He bought 160 acre of land from the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad, and continued to farm it until he and his wife retired in 1905. The farm remained in the Carstens family until 1977, when the last of the 80 acre was donated to the Pottawattamie County Historical Society. The farm buildings include: the original farmhouse , the 1888 farmhouse with the summer kitchen, an outhouse, garage , granary , horse and dairy barn , beef cattle barn , beef cattle barn , forge and workshop , windmill , feed shed , hog house , poultry house, machine shed , the cob house , and a corn crib . The buildings were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Nordenskiöld Glacier  is a group of four glaciers in Novaya Zemlya, Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia.</p><br>

<p>The Bovilla reservoir  is a 4.6 km reservoir in Albania, approximately 9 mi northeast of Tirana and southeast of Kruja, within Mount Dajt National Park. It provides most of the drinking water for Tirana.</p><br>
<p>The reservoir is formed by a dam of the river Tërkuzë, a tributary of the Ishëm. The Tërkuzë has its source to the east of the outer chain of the coastal mountain range, running through the deep Shkallë e Bovillës canyon between Mount Maja e Gomtitit (1268 m) and Mount Mali i Bjeshit (1239 m). The dam stands at the entrance to this canyon and is made from local conglomerate, gravel and sand. It is 91 m high and 130 m long.</p><br>
<p>Construction work originally began in 1988, but stopped with the collapse of communism. In October 1993, work was resumed thanks to the support of the Italian state. After the end of construction in 1996, the lake took until 1998 to fill and begin to serve its purpose.</p><br>
<p>The water level varies over the course of the year by 7–10 metres, with the high water mark being reached during the rainy winter months. Measurements from 2006 to 2008 showed the greatest depth was around 45 metres. The difference from the original depth of 53 metres must be due to the sediment brought down by the river from upstream.</p><br>
<p>The Tërkuzë provides around 105,000,000 m of water per year from a catchment area of roughly 98 km. The annual water consumption is around 78,000,000 m - roughly the size of the reservoir. Roughly 1,800 litres of water are delivered to the processing plant from the reservoir per second, through a steel pipe (roughly 50 to 57 million m per year). In addition to this surface water, the drinking water supply of Tirana is supplemented by natural underground wells and artesian wells, to meet a required need of 2.8 m per second (2009 estimate). The steel pipeline linking the reservoir to the processing plant in Kodra Kuqe, north of Tirana, is around 90 cm in diameter. Some of the water in the reservoir is also used for irrigation.</p><br>
<p>The reservoir is located within the Mount Dajt National Park, a bit south of Shtamë Pass National Park. The cliff faces around the canyon and the dam offer good climbing prospects. Swimming in the reservoir is forbidden. There were only a few kinds of fish in the lake: the Schneider (Alburnoides bipunctatus) and Barbus carp were the most common. Large numbers of grass carp have been caught by fisherman. The silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) has been repeatedly introduced to improve the water quality.</p><br>
<p>Nine remote villages with over five thousand inhabitants are scattered in the hills around the reservoir. The inhabitants derive their livelihoods primarily from agriculture. About 400 families had to be resettled in order to create the reservoir. They received compensation for their land, but the movement was still violently opposed.</p><br>
<p>In September 2001, a bad odour and taste were first noticed in the water from the reservoir. Subsequently, a thorough investigation determined that the water quality was basically good. The source of the odour was suggested to be oxygen-dependent actinobacteria and streptomyces. Experts suggested measures to reduce the turbidity of the water: reforestation to reduce erosion, a protected area along the shore of the reservoir, and processing the wastewater from the settlements and farms in the surrounding area.</p><br>
<p>20 South Second Street is a historic home located in Newport, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>This is a two-story home with a hipped roof, resting on a stone foundation. The all brick structure is 4 pays wide with a storefront at the corner. Clapboard siding was added around the storefront along with a wraparound porch with modern wood columns.</p><br>

<p>The Willow–Bluff–3rd Street Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. The district is primarily a residential area that is adjacent to the central business district to the west. Part of the district is in Jackson&#39;s Addition, which is the first addition to the original town of Council Bluffs. It also sits along the base of the loess bluffs to the east.</p><br>
<p>The neighborhood generally developed between 1855 and 1930. The houses that populate the district were built in the revival styles and architectural movements that were popular during this time period. In addition to residential architecture there are two churches and a former high gymnasium that are contributing properties: the Seventh Day Adventist Church (c. 1920), Our Savior Lutheran Church (1926), and the Lincoln High School Gymnasium (1926). Three buildings that were individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places are also contributing properties in the district. They include: the Grenville M. Dodge House (1869), the Wickham-De Vol House (1878), and the August Beresheim House (1899). The streets and retaining walls make up the contributing and non-contributing structures. The non-contributing buildings are largely garages.</p><br>
<p>The Lincoln–Fairview Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. The district is primarily a residential area north of the central business district. It includes the steep loess bluff where President Abraham Lincoln stood to survey the area when he was deciding on the eastern terminus of the Union Pacific Railroad. The Daughters of the American Revolution erected a monument at the location in 1911.</p><br>
<p>The neighborhood generally developed between 1846, when Fairview Cemetery was established, and 1956. However, it was largely developed by 1940. The houses that populate the district were built in the revival styles and architectural movements that were popular during this time period. Some of the houses were built on the steep slope of the bluff. In addition to residential architecture, there are two churches and the city&#39;s water works that are contributing properties: St. Mary and St. George Coptic Orthodox Church (c. 1925), the Council Bluffs Waterworks (reservoir, 1941 Works Progress Administration; pump house, 1947), and the Community of Christ Church (1951). The Ruth Anne Dodge Memorial (1918), which was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is also a contributing property.</p><br>
<p>The Haymarket Commercial Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. "Haymarket" is the forked-junction of Main and Pearl Streets where the city&#39;s scales were located in the 1890s. It is on the south side of the central business district. Council Bluffs was founded in the late 1840s as Kanesville by Mormons. When Brigham Young called all people of the faith outside of Utah to Salt Lake City in 1852, the community ceased to be majority Mormon. It was renamed Council Bluffs in 1853. The buildings here are among the earliest extant commercial buildings in the city.</p><br>
<p>The district developed between 1865 and 1930. The buildings were built in three periods:1865-1880, 1880-1900, and 1900-1930. They are two-story, brick, vernacular commercial structures. The first floors are commercial spaces with cast-iron storefronts, and the buildings are capped with metal cornices. The more elaborate decorative details are found on the buildings that were built in the 1880s and the 1890s. The simplest buildings are the oldest. The buildings north of the Main Street/Pearl Street intersection have primary facades on both streets.</p><br>
<p>Tabala or Tablensis was an ancient city in the Roman-Berber province of Mauretania Caesariensis in modern Algeria. It was a Latin Catholic diocese.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Tabla was founded during the Roman Empire and lasted until the coming of Islam in the early 7th century.</p><br>
<p>Known as Tablensis, the settlement was founded as a fort on the Limes. McCarthy calls it "Tablat, the... capital of a military march, under the Romans in the fifth century, near the Isseur, on the road to Auzia (Aumale) to Icosium (Algiers)." The name Tablatensis derives from the Latin word for barracks or Roman garrison. This may indicate a connection to its location on the Limes road.</p><br>
<p>From 429 to 533 the town was in Vandal dominion, and in 533 was taken by the Byzantine Empire. In 647</p><br>
<p>the settlement fell to the invading Umayyad Caliphate armies. A town named "Tablata" in Spain was founded by the Sarrassins, during the conquest of Spain in 711 which may suggest that men of Tabla or Tablata were part of this army.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Tabla has been tentatively identified with Tablat or Tablast in todays Algeria. According to Berber tradition "Tablat is a locality of the Southeast of Blida.&#39;</p><br>
<p>Today the site of the town is a grass covered hillside strewn with dressed stones indicating the presence of the former settlement. The site remains unexcavated.</p><br>
<h2>Bishopric</h2><br>
<p>Tabala was also the seat of a Roman and Vandal era bishopric. The only known bishops of this diocese are Quodvultdeus (Catholic bishop, fl. 484), A catholic bishop who took part in the Council of Carthage (484) held by the Vandal king Huneric, after which Quodvultdeus was sent to exile. And Urbanus a Donatist bishop (fl. 440) summoned to Carthage for not adhereing to the Catholic religion.</p><br>
<p>In 1933 the diocese was reestablished in name and Tabla survives today as titular bishop. The current bishop is Lino Bortolo Belotti.</p><br>
<p>Rockledge is a historic summer estate house on Vermont Route 207 in Swanton, Vermont. Architect Charles Saxe in 1918 designed alterations to an early 19th-century farmhouse, that is the principal surviving element of an early 20th-century gentleman&#39;s farm. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Rockledge is located in southern Swanton, on the west siode of VT 207 south of its junction with Decker Road. The property is a square about 8 acre in size, most of the surrounding historic farmland having been sold off. A stone wall lines the front of the property, with a row of maple trees between that wall and the house. A semicircular drive provides access at two points from the road to the rear of the house. The house is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a side gable roof and flanking two-story wings. The main block facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance sheltered by a Colonial Revival portico supported by clustered Tuscan columns. The gable ends on the sides have Federal style fans at their center.</p><br>
<p>The construction date of the house is not known. It exhibits architectural features suggesting it was built about 1803, but shows signs of modifications c. 1819, using technology not available at the earlier time. Much of its appearance, both inside and out, is the result of a major renovation by Clark Jennison between 1918 and 1920, to a design by Montreal architect Charles Saxe. The house was greatly enlarged, and its interior spaces were given a formal Colonial Revival finish. The landscaping of the property also dates to this period, and originally included a larger number of barns and outbuildings, which succumbed to fire in 1980. The property is one of Vermont&#39;s finer examples of an adaptive reuse of an early 19th-century farm property as a summer estate, in this case by members of the same family.</p><br>
<p>Riverside Cemetery Gatehouse is a historic office building located in Riverside Cemetery at 3607 Pearl Road in Cleveland, Ohio. It was completed in 1897, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. A significant interior renovation occurred about 1991 to 1992.</p><br>
<h2>Constructing the gatehouse</h2><br>
<p>The Riverside Cemetery Association was formed on November 15, 1875. Riverside Cemetery opened on July 8, 1876, on a bluff overlooking the west bank of the Cuyahoga River in the unincorporated village of Brooklyn Centre (now a neighborhood which is part of Cleveland, but then an independent settlement). It was a garden-style cemetery, and at the time of its dedication the largest cemetery on Cleveland&#39;s west side.</p><br>
<p>As the cemetery was being laid out in 1875, the cemetery association constructed a wooden office building in the southwest corner of the property near the corner of Pearl Road and Willowdale Avenue. But as the cemetery grew, this structure proved too small for administrative needs. The cemetery&#39;s trustees approved construction of a new building at their annual meeting on December 9, 1895.</p><br>
<p>Noted local architect Charles W. Hopkinson was hired to develop the plans for the new building. The date on which Hopkinson was hired is not known, but he submitted plans to the cemetery trustees probably in April 1896. The trustees approved his plans on May 4. Hopkinson recommended that the building be constructed of granite. But granite was expensive, and the trustees asked the architect to re-estimate the cost using red brownstone (a building material popular at the time) instead. The difference was significant, and the trustees chose brownstone.</p><br>
<p>Construction contracts were let on June 30, 1896, and construction began on July 9, 1896.</p><br>
<p>The architectural style of the building has been variously described as "French château", The structure consists of a steel beam frame and mortared with Portland cement. The base of the veranda which wraps around the building is poured-in-place cement. The building features a turret on the southwest corner that reaches beyond the roof, dormer windows on the second floor, and buttresses on all sides.</p><br>
<p>Construction was largely complete by the end of 1896, although interior work continued into early 1897.</p><br>
<p>The final cost of the building was variously reported as $18,000 ($ in dollars), $19,000 ($ in dollars), and $20,000 ($ in dollars).</p><br>
<h2>About the building</h2><br>
<p>The Riverside Cemetery Gatehouse has two above-ground stories and a basement. As originally constructed, the first floor contained a reception room, The floors on the first floor reception room and women&#39;s bathroom were covered with mosaic tile. The reception room was the largest space on the first floor. It was roughly 16 by in size, with an arched, coffered, Tudor-style, 16 ft high oak ceiling. The walls of the reception room were lined with 1.5 in thick enameled brick in a warm yellow color. The reception room also featured a gas-fired fireplace with a wide mantel, and an "art window" made of 2,955 pieces of clear and stained glass. The office measured 18 by. Its walls were tinted plaster, it had a ceiling panelled in oak, and it had oak flooring.</p><br>
<p>A narrow, winding staircase led to the second floor. Two meeting rooms existed on the second floor for the use of the trustees. With the exception of the first floor reception room and office, each of the rooms on the first and second floor were panelled with quarter-sawn oak. Chandeliers of Flemish brass lit the reception room, office, and both second floor rooms.</p><br>
<p>The basement consisted of closets and storage space, and contained a furnace room.</p><br>
<p>A 10 ft wide veranda with a coffered roof supported by arches wrapped around the building on its north, west, and south sides. The roof was made of red Spanish-made terracotta tile, with copper flashing. A turret jutted 25 ft above the second floor.</p><br>

<p>The building was originally lit by natural gas, but this was converted to electricity in the early 20th century. At some point, the ladies bathroom was divided, so that a mens bathroom could be added.</p><br>
<p>Shortly prior to 1992, the gatehouse underwent a significant renovation. The ceiling in the office was covered by a dropped ceiling of sound-dampening tiles, and the north and east entrances to the building were closed off.</p><br>
<p>The E. J. ODonnell House in Multnomah County, Oregon, just outside the Portland municipal boundary, was designed in 1938 by architect Richard Sundeleaf for dairyman and cattle breeder Edward J. ODonnell. It was completed in 1940.</p><br>
<p>The single-story house was designed to be wheelchair-accessible for a child of the ODonnells.</p><br>
<p>It has a "multiplicity of steeply-pitched cross gables at the east end and a variegated exterior of brick, lapped weatherboards as gable cladding, and secondary siding of boards and molded battens." It has bays and projections on its faces, and on the northeast has a kitchen/utility wing and on the southwest has a garage/bedroom wing.</p><br>
<p>Its NRHP nomination describes that:The house displays the essential qualities for which Sundeleafs Arts and Crafts architecture is admired. Porches have heavy post and beam framing. Solid craftsmanship emphasizes interior wood paneling and trim. A square module is used for division of window space, including sidelights for view windows on which such premium is placed in Portlands west hills. Building volumes are stepped down to the landscape through sheltered terraces and projecting window bays. The architect brings forward from earlier projects (see Clarence Francis House) a rear gallery—an updated screens passage which in archetypical manor houses leads to private compartments from the great hall or circulation core.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>Tucker&#39;s Island was an island of the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda. It was part of the land leased to the United States Government in 1941 for ninety-nine years for the construction of the Naval Operating Base Bermuda, a joint shipping base and naval air station. Tucker&#39;s Island was joined by infilling to nearby Morgan&#39;s Island, and the two were connected to the Main Island by a narrow infilling, creating a peninsula. The base, by then designated the Naval Air Station Bermuda Annex, was closed in 1995 along with other US bases in Bermuda. After a delay while the issue of toxic waste deposits was argued between the British/Bermudian and US Governments, the land was handed back to the Government of Bermuda and allowed to return to nature pending the clean-up of toxins and a decision on its future. The only user of the area was the Royal Bermuda Regiment, which had begun training there when it was still a US base. Following public outrage at plans to develop a Jumeirah resort hotel at Southlands, then a wooded private estate on the South Shore, the government traded the former US naval base to the developers in exchange for Southlands, most of which was designated as parkland. Morgan&#39;s Point, as the former naval base is now called, is currently being cleared to make way for the new resort.</p><br>
<p>Cape Bolshoy Dugandzha  is a headland in Khabarovsk Krai, Russia.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>It is a steep cape lying in the western Sea of Okhotsk near the Shantar Islands, east of Cape Malaya Dugandzha ("Little Dugandzha Cape") and west of Ptichy Island. It rises to a height of 250 m (820 ft) and forms the eastern point of Lyutsun Bay and the western point of Tugur Bay.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>American whaleships cruised for bowhead whales off the cape between 1855 and 1885. They called it Eagle Point, because it was "inhabited only by eagles, which are very numerous". They often passed between the cape and Ptichy Island when sailing to and from Uda Gulf and Tugur Bay; they also anchored under it to obtain shelter from gales and strong winds.</p><br>
<p>The Proctor Maple Research Center is an agricultural research center of the University of Vermont specializing in the study of sugar maples, particularly with respect to the production of sap for use in maple syrup. It is the only facility of this type in the United States. Its facilities are located on Harvey Road in Underhill, Vermont, on a rural property previously known as the Harvey Farm, given to the state in 1946 by Governor of Vermont Mortimer Proctor. The center&#39;s early facilities and century-old sugar bush are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Setting</h2><br>
<p>The Proctor Maple Research Center is located on 180 acre of land on the western slope of Mount Mansfield. The facilities of the center are located on a spur road off Harvey Road, and its actively managed stand of sugar maples is located north of its small cluster of buildings. Its main laboratory building was built in 1988 and expanded in 1994. Nearby stands the center&#39;s current sugar house, built in 1992-93, as well as its original sugar house, built in 1947.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Since at least the second half of the 19th century, this property was used as a sugar bush, or property actively managed for the production of maple sap from sugar maples. It was purchased by the Harvey family in 1873, whose uses of the land included sugarmaking. The property was acquired by Mortimer Proctor, then the Governor of Vermont, and was given by him to the state to further its research into a product that was important to the state&#39;s economy. The early field station was little more than a sugar house, mounted on skids until a suitable permanent site was located. A laboratory was added in the mid-1960s, which burned down in the 1980s.</p><br>
<p>The Waitsfield Common Historic District encompasses the original town center settlement of Waitsfield, Vermont, at the junction of Joslin Hill, Common, East, and North Roads. Located about 1 mi from the town&#39;s present main village and center, it was laid out in 1793, and includes the triangular town common, a cemetery, and a number of houses built mainly between 1793 and 1841. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Waitsfield Common area was first settled in the 1790s, its hilltop setting typical of a number of other Vermont communities. The common, originally rectangular and now two triangles, was laid out in 1798, and the cemetery on its north side was established by 1797. The towns first church was built on land now part of the cemetery, and was torn down in the 1870s. The centers location was not well suited to the needs of 19th-century commerce, and the present Waitsfield Village was by 1841 eclipsing the center in importance. It has remained an essentially rural agricultural village since then, although there has been some new construction in the late 20th century, as the area became more attractive to tourists and skiers.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is centered on the four-way interstection of Joslin Hill, Common, East, and North Roads. The two triangular sections of the common are set northeast and southwest of this junction, with the cemetery and former church site to the northwest. Historic houses line the southern part of the common, and old stone walls line some of the roads. The districtr has an acreage of 237 acre, and includes open fields that descend to the west and south. There are seven historic houses in all, with a number of non-historic houses set in sympathetic scale and setback.</p><br>
<p>Rockhampton Grammar School Buildings are a heritage-listed group private school buildings at Archer Street, The Range, Rockhampton, Rockhampton Region, Queensland, Australia. They were built from 1880 to 1951. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Rockhampton Grammar School was opened in 1881. The main building, a two storeyed brick building, now known as the Administration Building, was erected in 1880 to the design of Rockhampton architect, Sidney Williams.</p><br>
<p>The Rockhampton Grammar School was the states fourth grammar school. The grammar schools, as private schools partially funded by the government, formed an important part in the colonys fledgling secondary education system. During the 1870s a grammar school for the town was mooted and a parcel of land adjoining the town hall was reserved for such a purpose. However it was not until 1878, that the first trustees were appointed under the Grammar School Act and a site for the new school chosen on the Athelstane Range.</p><br>
<p>In the following year, Sidney Williams won an architectural competition for the design and the tender of £4,580 by prominent builder and politician, John Ferguson was accepted. This was later increased to £6,026 after the Colonial Architect FDG Stanley recommended some alterations including the deepening of the foundations and the addition of another verandah. The contract did not include furniture or any preparation of the grounds. Not until 1900 was the school&#39;s first oval completed.</p><br>
<p>The school building, which overlooked the town centre included accommodation for the headmaster, male boarders, and classrooms. Contemporary reports described it as a prominent object in the landscape; its picturesque and airy site was considered appropriate for the education of young men and women.</p><br>
<p>From 1881-1886, the school maintained both a boys and a girls department. In 1906, Frederick William Wheatley succeeded the first Headmaster, John Wheatcroft. He was followed in 1912 by Henry Arthur Kellow who remained as Head until 1935.</p><br>
<p>A war memorial containing the names of a number of old boys, who served in World War I was unveiled by the Australian Governor-General, Lord Foster in 1921. It was funded by subscriptions and was designed by architects Hockings and Palmer, based on an idea of Headmaster Kellow. It was executed in Ulam white marble by FM Allan. The brick base faced with granite was completed later in 1924. A war trophy, a German trench mortar, was also acquired by the school in 1921.</p><br>
<p>In 1928, the PF MacDonald Memorial Pool was erected to the design of Hockings and Palmer. During the depression, improvements made under the Government Intermittent Relief Scheme included new tennis courts and the building of a road from the pool to Wheatcroft Street. Other improvements to the grounds were made in the 1930s when the advice of Botanic Gardens Curator HG Simmons were sought for tree planting and landscaping.</p><br>
<p>Old boy Fitzroy Jardine was appointed Headmaster in 1936, remaining in the position until 1964. A number of building works were undertaken during this time. Additions were made to the north wing of the main building in 1940 to provide accommodation for two classrooms and a dormitory. At the end of World War II, two buildings were purchased from the military camp at Raglan. These were used as a dormitory and recreation room for boarders. Further alterations were made to the main building in 1951. This included the enclosing of the south verandah and the enlarging of the dining room.</p><br>
<p>In 1957, the gymnasium (1889) was demolished to make way for the construction of the Jardine Science Block and the Boland Wing. In the same year, the Old Boys club rooms were moved to the school from Denham Street to become the Second World War Memorial Hall. In 1960, the memorial drinking fountain was dedicated in memory of nine boys killed that year in a plane crash. The Macfarlane Wing was erected in 1965. A large building program was commenced in the 1970s. Works included the Headmaster&#39;s residence (1970), the Palmer Wing (1970), the library and resource centre (1972), the Woolcock Science Block (1973), and the building of a second oval (1975).</p><br>
<p>In 1972, Arthur Edward Cross Butler succeed Malcolm Thomas Hewitson as Headmaster and in 1977, the school became coeducational and a girls dormitory was erected. Extensive alterations were carried out to the Main Building, including the replacing of the brick fronts and removal of balconies. The bell&#39;s tower was replaced with steel in 1986. Further additions to the building were made in 1987 with the construction of a wing to the rear.</p><br>
<p>Recent building work includes the Centenary Centre (1981), tennis courts (1981), assembly area (1984), library and humanities centre (1987), primary department stage 1 (1989) and stage 2 (1990).</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Rockhampton Grammar School is sited to the north east of a ridge of the Athelstane Range overlooking Rockhampton. The site, bounded by Agnes, Archer, and Quarry Streets, comprises a number of buildings erected from 1880 to the present.</p><br>
<p>The Administration Building is the primary building of the group. It is a two storeyed brick building with a U-shaped plan and a symmetrically composed eastern elevation consisting of three projecting bays. Most of the building has been extensively altered; however, the exterior of the central projecting bay, formerly the main entrance, and the interior of the trophy room remain substantially intact.</p><br>
<p>The central projecting bay has a brick base, a terrace to the first floor, and is surmounted by a pediment which spans the width of the bay. An octagonal belvedere rises above the roof line. The brick base has white rendered quoins, and two arched windows with rendered concrete surrounds and keystones. The windows flank a doorway with belted columns, Ionic capitals and a small pediment. The terrace has two slender round columns with broader square piers at the corners, each with Ionic capitals. The pediment has floral scrolls and a central school insignia in relief. The belvedere comprises an octagonal pitched roof on eight round columns with Ionic capitals, with a braced timber balustrade.

<p>Yam Gulf  is a large bay in the northeastern Sea of Okhotsk. It forms the southwestern portion of Shelikhov Gulf. To its southeast lie the Yam Islands.</p><br>
<h2>Geography and climate</h2><br>
<p>Yam Gulf is entered between Capes Iretsky to the north and Keytevan to the south, which are separated by 33.8 km (about 21 mi). The high entrance points of the gulf merge into a low shore to the west, with tundra plains beyond. From June to the first half of August, winds in the gulf are seldom stronger than a fresh breeze, but occasionally reach gale force. Calms prevail in the latter half of August and first part of September. Northeast winds begin in late September, with storms common. Fog is fairly rare. There is ice in the gulf from October to late June or early July. Tides are irregular, being diurnal at springs and semidiurnal at neaps. The highest spring tides reach about 6.4 m (21 ft), while neaps reach about 2.1 m (6.9 ft). The tidal currents are strongest in the southern part of the gulf, reaching 8 to 8.5 knots during spring tides in July, 5.5 to 6 knots in August, and 4 to 4.5 knots in September.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>American whaleships hunted bowhead whales in the gulf in the 1850s and 1860s. They also traded with the natives for sable and deer.</p><br>
<p>Lyutsun Bay  is a small bay in the western Sea of Okhotsk. To its west lies Uda Gulf, while to its north and east lies the Shantar Sea, and to its south and east Tugur Bay.</p><br>
<h2>Geography and climate</h2><br>
<p>Lyutsun Bay is entered between Capes Mal Dugandzha to the west and Bol Dugandzha to the east. It is 11.3 km (about 7 mi) wide and has heavily wooded shores. Tides are semidiurnal, with springs rising 6.1 m (20 ft) and neaps 1.8 to 3 m (6 to 9.8 ft). Tidal currents reach 3.5 to 4 knots at springs near the entrance of the bay, with the flood current going in a counterclockwise direction round the bay and the ebb in the opposite direction. The bay is sheltered from southwest and southeast winds but exposed to south and northeast winds.</p><br>
<p>Yakshin Bay  is a small bight in the western Sea of Okhotsk. It is 29 km  wide and indents the southwest side of Bolshoy Shantar Island. The bay is entered between Capes Raduzhnyy to the west and Filippa to the east. The Yakshin River flows into the head of the bay. There is ice in the bay from December to July. Tides rise 4.9 m  at springs, with the flood current flowing in a counterclockwise direction round the bay and the ebb in the reverse direction. These tidal currents may reach 3.5 to 4 knots near the entrance of the bay but are less than 2 knots at its head.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>American whaleships hunted bowhead whales in the bay between 1858 and 1874. They called it Big Shantar Bight. They also anchored in the bay to get wood and water and seek shelter from strong winds.</p><br>
<p>The Clement B. Gingrich House is a historic building located in La Porte City, Iowa, United States. Gingrich grew up on a nearby farm, and was a teacher before he operated the family&#39;s creamery. He hired Waterloo architect J.G. Ralston to design this house, which was completed in 1916. Architecturally, the two-story frame structure is "transitional" in its design. It features Georgian cube massing, with Prairie School, American Craftsman and Colonial Revival influences. After Ella Gingrich died in 1943 the house was sold. It served as the rectory for Sacred Heart Catholic Church from 1946 to 1973. During that time the basement was used for a daily Mass chapel and catechism classes. Twenty-seven interdenominational weddings were celebrated in the house. After its use as a rectory it reverted to being a single-family home. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
