<p>The Pineville Courthouse Square Historic District is a 7 acre historic district in Pineville, Kentucky that is listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places. It includes the Bell County Courthouse and related government buildings and the central business core of the town.</p><br>
<p>The original courthouse square was laid out in 1888. The original courthouse (no longer extant) of Bell County, Kentucky was built in 1894. The current courthouse, with a pedimented Ionic portico, was designed by architect John W. Gaddis of Vincennes, Indiana in 1919. The courthouse was renovated extensively in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The district included what was the only 4-story building in Pinedale as of 1988, the 1921-built Pineville Furniture Store building. Next door to that is a George Mesker-designed commercial building with "corbelled cream-colored brickwork."</p><br>
<p>It includes an "impressive" Masonic Temple building built in 1921 that has a three-story brick facade "ornamented with what resembles a proscenium arch of stone supported by a pair of engaged Egyptian pilasters." A brick parapet "is raised in the center to form a shallow pediment above an inscription identifying the building, and a central stone panel contains an emblem of the winged sun disk."</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the NRHP in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The district includes 35 properties, including 26 contributing and four non-contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>The Grandview Park Music Pavilion is a historic structure located in Sioux City, Iowa, United States. The Monahan Post Band raised money in 1930 to build a modest music shell in the park. Construction was already underway when the parks neighbors objected to the design. The project was put on hold as the band raised more money and sought a more suitable design. After President Franklin D. Roosevelt created the Civil Works Administration  in 1933, the city applied to have the new music shell included in Sioux Citys projects. Henry L. Kamphoefner, an unknown Sioux City architect at that time, drew up the plans for the structure. The sculptural plaques on the front of the pavilion were designed by Herschel Elarth. The CWA approved the project on February 26, 1934 as CWA Project Number 217. The construction project required 52 tons of reinforcing steel, 4,200 bags of Portland cement, and 300 bags of white cement, and it was completed on October 17, 1934. Seating was constructed for 5,000 in the natural amphitheater. The pavilion was built using $47,436 from Federal Relief funds and $3,800 in materials from the city. It was dedicated in the spring of 1935. The Monahan Post Band continued to play here until 1948, when they became the Sioux City Municipal Band. They continue the summer-time tradition. The music pavilion was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<p>The Federal Building and United States Courthouse is located in Sioux City, Iowa, United States. The present city hall in Sioux City was previously the post office, federal building and courthouse. This building replaced it. It was designed by the local architectural firm of Beuttler & Arnold with the Des Moines firm of Proudfoot, Rawson, Souers & Thomas providing input and oversight. Construction began in 1932 under the direction of the Acting Supervising Architect of the Treasury James A. Wetmore. The building was dedicated on December 29, 1933. The Federal Government had paid $270,000 for the property, and about $725,000 on construction. Architecturally, the three-story, stone structure is a combination of Stripped Classicism and Art Deco. The post office moved to a new facility in 1984, and additional office space and a new courtroom were created in the building. A further renovation was undertaken from 1999 to 2000 and a third courtroom a judge&#39;s chamber, jury deliberation room, library, and holding cell for defendants were added. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Cote Apartment House is a historic multi-unit residential building at 16 Elm Street in St. Johnsbury, Vermont. Built in 1914, it is a distinctive late example of Victorian architecture, set as part of a group of buildings typical of residential developments by the town&#39;s French Canadian immigrants. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Cote Apartment House is located on St. Johnsbury&#39;s east side, in a small enclave of densely built residential buildings on the west side of Elm Street north of United States Route 2. It is the northernmost of a cluster of multiunit residences organized around a common courtyard, accessed by a lane now called Cote Court, but is visible from Elm Street across a patch of lawn. It is a three-story wood frame structure, with a flat roof and clapboarded exterior. Its principal visual features are two-story porches, which extend along the front and most of the western side (which faces toward the courtyard. The porches have turned posts with brackets at the top, and square balusters. The main roof has an extended eave adorned with simple scroll-sawn brackets. The building houses three units, each of which retains original woodwork and other features.</p><br>
<p>The Elm Street area was already developed by 1875, but became progressively more densely built in the early 20th century, as single-family houses and their outbuildings were either converted into tenements or demolished to make way for them. This house was built in 1912 by Marcelle and Marie Cote, as one of three buildings constructed by members of the extended Cote family, who were French Canadian immigrants. The courtyard arrangement of these buildings was not an unusual arrangement for these immigrants, providing living space for large extended families, and is found elsewhere in the town. It was sold by the Cotes to the Giroux family in 1921. In 1985 it was acquired by a local housing group, which undertook its rehabilitation.</p><br>
<p>The Jeffersonville Bridge is a steel girder bridge carrying Vermont Route 108 across the Lamoille River, just north of the village of Jeffersonville, Vermont. It was built in 2014, replacing a Parker through truss bridge built in 1931; the latter bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<h2>Setting</h2><br>
<p>The bridge is set just north of Jeffersonville, and carries Vermont 108 across the Lamoille River, providing access to Bakersfield via Route 108 and Waterville via Route 109. On the south side of the bridge it is connected to a rotary forming the junction of Route 108 and Vermont Route 15, which runs generally east-west parallel to the river.</p><br>
<h2>Historic bridge</h2><br>
<p>The 1931 Jeffersonville Bridge was a Parker through truss structure, with steel girder approaches at both ends. It rested on concrete abutment, and was 150 ft long, carrying two lanes of traffic and a pedestrian walkway; the latter was cantilevered on the outside of one of the trusses. The total length of the bridge was about 200 ft. It had a deck of concrete laid on steel I-beam stringers. The bridge was built in 1931 by the American Bridge Company, and was built using standards and practices adopted by the state after its devastating 1927 floods. Although the bridge rebuilding program after that flood formally ended in 1930, this bridge was built applying the same principles for selection of bridge type (based on the length of the span) and construction practices. The bridge was replaced in 2014 by the present structure.</p><br>
<p>The Wells-Richardson Complex is a historic commercial-industrial area in downtown Burlington, Vermont. Bounded by Main, Pine, College, and St. Paul Streets just west of City Hall Park, the architecture on this one city block represents nearly a century&#39;s worth of development. It is dominated by the former plant of the Wells-Richardson Company, a highly successful maker of patent medicines in the late 19th century. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The city block just west of City Hall Park in Burlington has long been seen as a desirable commercial area. It is located at the former northern terminus of a stagecoach route (now United States Route 7), and is near to the civic center of the city and of Chittenden County, located across St. Paul Street to the south of the park. The oldest surviving building in the block is a brick building at the northern end of the St. Paul Street block, built in the 1820s as a three-story building and renovated and enlarged in 1870 and 1910, when it was part of the Burlington Steam Laundry. Other buildings facing the park across St. Paul Street were built as hotels between 1872 and 1910, and exhibit Colonial Revival and Commercial Italianate style.</p><br>
<p>The dominant elements of the rest of the city block include five buildings historically associated with the Wells-Richardson Company. Under the direction of General William Wells, this company was highly successful in selling Paine&#39;s Celery Compound, a patent medicine which it marketed as far away as Sydney, Australia. The company survived on other products for thirty years after federal legislation in 1906 effectively ended the distribution of patent medicines. Its main manufacturing plant was the brick four-story building occupying the center of the block, and the company also occupied 125 College Street, where it had a retail space, showrooms, and offices. It eventually expanded into other buildings on the block, occupying five in all at its economic height.</p><br>
<p>The Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Combination Depot-Hornick, also known as the Hornick Depot, is a historic building located in Hornick, Iowa, United States. The town was patted by the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad&#39;s land company when the railroad created a branch line from Manilla, Iowa to Sioux City. Completed in 1887, the railroad built this two-story frame structure to serve as its passenger and freight depot. It is one of six such depots that remain in Iowa, and the best preserved. These buildings were built from a standard design used by the railroad. The two-story stations included living quarters for the station manager because the towns had yet to develop when the depot was built. This was an island depot, with freight loaded on the north side and passengers boarded on the south. Decorative elements on this depot include lathe-turned wooden finials, angled wooden brackets, and bracketed door and window hoods. Passenger service ended in the 1950s, and grain was loaded here until 1980 when the Milwaukee Road abandoned the Sioux City branch line. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. It has been converted into a local history museum.</p><br>
<p>The George A. and Mary Tinkel Bailey House is a historic building located in Correctionville, Iowa, United States. Bailey was a native of Litchfield County, Connecticut, and he established the first bank in town after settling here in 1882. The name of the Sioux Valley State Bank was changed to the Bailey State Bank under a new charter in 1902. In addition to this house, Bailey was also responsible for the first brick commercial blocks in town. He built his house on the north side of town in an attempt to move the town out of the flood plain. William Jennings Bryan stayed in the home in 1911 while he was in town speaking at a Chautauqua. The two-story frame Queen Anne features elements from the Stick/Eastlake styles. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Theophile Bruguier Cabin is a historic building located in Sioux City, Iowa, United States. Bruguier was a Quebec native who was a trader with the American Fur Company. He was the first Caucasian settler in what would become Sioux City. He settled at the confluence of the Missouri and the Big Sioux Rivers in 1849. With him were his two wives, Dawn and Blazing Cloud, and his father-in-law War Eagle, a chief of Yankton tribe, and extended family. He built a number of log structures on his 560 acre claim. Bruguier took up farming and set up his own fur-trading company. War Eagle and his two daughters, Bruguier&#39;s wives, died in the 1850s. Bruguier sold a track of land to Joseph Leonnais in 1855, and it became the original townsite for Sioux City. He built this single-room cabin for his home about 1860, and married Victoria Brunette in 1862. Bruguier and his wife moved to a farm near Salix, Iowa, where he died in 1895.</p><br>
<p>In time the cabin was covered with a wood veneer on the outside and plaster on the inside. It was discovered when the Rev. John Hantla of the Wall Street Mission was tearing it down. Workers from the Civil Works Administration dismantled the cabin and rebuilt it in Riverside Park in 1934. Two years later it was dedicated as a memorial to the "friendly Indians of the Sioux nation who lived in peace with the early pioneers," and to "Theophile Bruguier, the first permanent white resident within the present boundary of Sioux City." The cabin was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<p>The Stone Wall Ranch, also known as the Reader or Rasmussen Ranch, is a ranch in the Little Snake River valley of Carbon County, Wyoming, about 1.5 mi from Savery. It was established by Noah and Hosannah Reader in 1871, the first permanent homestead in the valley. A temporary winter shelter was built in the winter of 1871-72, followed by a permanent structure in 1872-73 that survives in the ranch complex. The ranch was named for a nearby sandstone escarpment.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The main house was built circa 1916 of rock-faced concrete block on the ground floor, with a shingled second story. The shingled section uses Shingle Style detailing with a projecting bay under the gable flanked by curving returns, with an attic window between two inward-curving shingled jambs. The gabled roof incorporates plain and bayed dormers.A frosted front door depicting Niagara Falls is a notable ornament. Nearby was the original Reader cabin, built of logs laid over sandstone blocks. Other buildings include an ice house, a variety of sheds, a barn and corrals for livestock. The corrals use the Stone Wall escarpment to form one side of their enclosures. The ranch comprises about 160 acre.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Noah Reader (1821-1914) was born in Ohio. After participating in the California Gold Rush, working in lead mines in Illinois and farming in Iowa, Reader brought his wife Hosannah and sons George, William and Albert west, meaning to go to Montana. The family wintered on the Little Snake River in Wyoming and remained there. In 1931 the ranch passed to the Rasmussen family.</p><br>
<p>The Stone Wall Ranch was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 29, 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Elzy G. Burkam House is a historic house located in Sioux City, Iowa, United States. Built in 1894, it is an example of a transitional house between the revival styles popular in the 19th century and the Colonial Revival style that became popular in the early 20th century. The 2½-story brick and frame house was designed by Sioux City architect William D. McLaughlin. Its asymmetrical form was more common in the Colonial Revival style in the 1890s than it was after 1900. The house features round arch windows from the Romanesque Revival style, deep eaves with exposed rafters from the Stick Style, and it is capped with a hip roof with a dormer. The exterior of the first is covered with brick, while the second floor is covered with Clapboard. A conservatory dominates the south elevation.</p><br>
<p>The house was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998,</p><br>
<p>The H.H. Everist House is a historic building located in Sioux City, Iowa, United States. Everist was the founder of L. G. Everist</p><br>
<p>Inc. and Western Contracting Corporation. He had local architect William L. Steele design this Prairie School-style house. It is considered the finest example of Steele&#39;s residential designs in this style. M.N. Hegg built the house from 1916 to 1917, and he completed the drive in garage and landscaping in 1920. The irregular plan of the structure is executed on three levels. It features a horizontal emphasis with bands of windows. Decorative terra cotta bands are used as belt courses, chimney parapets, coping and trim work. The house is capped with multiple broad, tiled, overhanging hipped roofs. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Willis House was built in 1908 for Mrs. Lydia M. Willis in Encampment, Wyoming as a house of prostitution and the headquarters for her familys business network. Mrs. Willis had previously operated a similar business in Encampment in a house next to her husbands saloon. The Willises managed a number of similar operations, with two brothels in Rawlins, one each in Saratoga and Encampment, and probably one in Rock Springs. Mr. Willis bred race horses and managed saloons. The house is notable as one of the most prominent houses in Encampment and the only masonry house in town.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Lydia M. Propst was born in Pendleton County, Virginia about 1846. Following the death of her husband Edward after the American Civil War Lydia and her son Lee, another son and a daughter moved to Rawlins around 1886, where she married S.L. (Jerry) Willis. The Willises settled in Encampment, which was near the center of the Grand Encampment copper mining boom of the early 20th century, with a ready supply of miners seeking entertainment. The Willises traveled throughout Colorado and Wyoming, starting a number of businesses, many involving prostitution. Extensive correspondence has been preserved documenting Mrs. Willis&#39;s business and her relationship with her girls.</p><br>
<p>Despite their business activities, which occasioned editorial complaints in the town newspaper, Mr. Willis was Encampment Justice of the Peace in 1915 and Town Marshal in 1916. The end of the copper boom in Encampment apparently caused the house to remain largely unfinished within, and the Willises left Encampment sometime between 1916 and Lydias 1926 death in Brighton, Colorado. Her son Lee operated a gas station in Encampment until his death in 1941. The house changed hands 18 times before 1931, until it was purchased by rancher, merchant and miner Charles Deo Terwilliger. Terwilliger had made his fortune in Nevada by selling supplies to miners. After some setbacks to his ranching business he and his wife Laura bought the Willis House for $800 in 1931, adapting the house as a boarding house for teachers. The house remained in the hands of Terwilligers descendants into the 21st century.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Willis House is described as a modified American Foursquare of two stories, built in molded concrete block. The house is fronted by a masonry-pillared porch on the short west side, with a half-story elevation above with deep flared eaves and a clipped gable. The interior detailing is somewhat plain. The upper level was subdivided into five rooms suited for the planned use, three of which have bed alcoves. All share a single toilet. The property includes a log barn to the rear.</p><br>
<p>The Willis House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 29, 2001.</p><br>
<p>The Darling Estate Historic Estate encompasses an historic country estate of more than 2,000 acre on Darling Hill Road, straddling the town line between Burke and Lyndon, Vermont, USA. Built in the early 1900s for Elmer Darling, a locally-born New York hotelier, it was one of Vermont&#39;s largest such estates, featuring Burklyn Hall, one of its most opulent Colonial Revival houses, as well as numerous 19th-century farm properties. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Elmer Darling, a native of Burke, made a fortune operating the Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York City. He began purchasing properties on Darling Hill (then known as Bemis) in 1883, and had by the early 20th century amassed more than 2,000 acres of farmland encompassing an entire ridge north of Lyndon and west of East Burke. Properties on this ridge had largely begun has hill farms in the early 19th century, and Darlings purchases included farm buildings spanning the 19th century in age. Darling transformed this area into a gentlemans farm, which was primarily operated out of Mountain View Farm, located at junction of Darling Hill and East Darling Hill Roads. In the 1890s Darling built a state-of-the-art creamery, and later expanded into the breeding of Morgan horses. He had all of the older farm buildings restored, and lined Darling Hill Road with a canopy of trees that is still largely in place. Darling died here in 1931, and his heirs sold off the Mountain View Farm in 1960.</p><br>
<p>Burklyn Hall is located at the highest point of the Darling Hill ridge, which extends north-south in northeastern Lyndon and southern Burke. The house is a large three-story wood-frame structure resting on a granite foundation. Its main section is square, covered by a hip roof with gabled dormers and a balustraded widow&#39;s walk at the center. Projecting south along the ridge is a long ell. The main entrance faces north, under a massive two-story Greek temple facade, and a porte-cochère on the west side is joined to an outbuilding housing a lavishly decorated billiard room. The interior, in particular the four great rooms of the main floor, feature elaborate carved woodwork and plaster moldings. There are formal gardens just south of the hall, separating it from a small conservatory. The hall is named for its position on the town line, and was designed by the architectural firm Jardine, Kent & Jardine and built in 1904-08. It features amenities not normally found in domestic architecture of the period, including elevators and a central vacuuming system.</p><br>
<p>The Jeffersonville Historic District encompasses a significant portion of the village of Jeffersonville, the largest in the town of Cambridge, Vermont. The village, long the town&#39;s commercial heart, has a well-preserved array of 19th and early-20th century architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The village of Jeffersonville occupies fertile bottomlands between the Lamoille River, which flows roughly southwest at that point, and the Brewster River, a tributary which flows north into the Lamoille. The village arose in the early 19th century because the Brewster River was well suited to provide water power to industry. Its earliest settler, John Brewster, arrived in the 1780s, and the village was incorporated in 1827. Its 19th-century growth resulted in a significant number of Greek Revival houses. Around the turn of the 20th century the village gained a number of fine Victorian and Colonial Revival buildings.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is roughly L-shaped, extending west along Church Street and north along Main Street from their meeting point. Maple Street parallels Main Street to the west, and School Street loops off Main Street to the east, providing a simple grid. Most of the district&#39;s 67 building are historic in character, and are in a wide variety of styles popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The only brick buildings in the district are a church, store, and school buildings. Most buildings are 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 stories in height, and their styling is typically vernacular.</p><br>
<p>The Kenney Lake Overlook is a historic roadside park in Garrison Township, Minnesota, United States. Adjacent to the southbound lane of Minnesota State Highway 18 , the 2 acre site provides a parking area and an overlook of a small lake. The wayside was built in 1939 as part of a major New Deal project to create a scenic parkway along the shore of nearby Mille Lacs Lake. The Mille Lacs Highway Development Plan was the largest highway improvement project in the state constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps . The Kenney Lake Overlook was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015 for having state-level significance in the themes of landscape architecture and politics/government. It was nominated for being a key component of a major highway improvement project, for representing the work of the Veterans Division of the CCC and the earliest scenic improvements of the Minnesota Highway Department , and for its fine National Park Service rustic design.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Kenney Lake Overlook stretches for about 600 ft along MN 18 where it passes the northeast shore of Kenney Lake. The overlook is 2.5 mi from Garrison and the northwest shore of Mille Lacs Lake. The site consists of a pullthrough parking area with stone curbs, and a stone overlook wall with stairs 12 ft down to the lakeshore. As originally designed there was a picnic area to the southeast with picnic tables, a pair of benches at the northwest end of the overlook, and a wooden entrance sign, but these features are no longer extant. A wooden dock was planned at the base of the stairs but may never have been built. Naturalistic plantings once completed the scene. As of the mid-2010s, however, the site has lost some trees and the lakeshore is overgrown.</p><br>
<p>The parking area is about 150 ft long, with access to and from the highway at either end of a 90 ft traffic island. Curbs of rough-cut granite blocks line the parking area and continue for a short distance in either direction along the road shoulder. Over half of the original curbing (on the east side of the traffic island and for a greater distance before and after the pullout) was removed when the highway was widened in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The overlook wall stretches for about 250 ft. It is constructed of light-grey granite blocks laid in a random pattern over a stone rubble core. The granite is the same as that used in the stone curbing, but is more finely dressed. The central part of the wall curves in a shallow arc around the parking area for 165 ft. It is about 2 ft high on the inside and up to 9 ft high facing the lake. Thicker piers at 24 ft intervals lend an air of medieval battlements.</p><br>
<p>At the northwest end the wall continues into a 24 ft diameter semicircle. The original plans refer to this as the "niche" and it was carefully built around an existing oak tree. From the outside the niche suggested a castle tower, and a drainage opening was even designed to resemble an arrowslit. The niche&#39;s floor is recessed slightly from the level of the parking lot and it provided a more intimate seating area with two benches. Both the benches and the tree are no longer extant.</p><br>
<p>At the southeast end, the overlook broadens into a terrace. Symmetrical 16 ft sections of wall flank a recessed area paved with flagstones which gives onto a staircase leading down to the lakeshore.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Kenney Lake Overlook was built as a component of the Mille Lacs Lake Highway Improvement Plan, an ambitious New Deal project to transform the area around the northwest shore of the lake into a scenic parkway. The project was an unusual collaboration among the MHD, the National Park Service, and the CCC. The overlook is among the first generation of roadside parks established by the MHD in the 1930s and 40s to improve highway aesthetics, increase safety, and aid the nascent automobile tourism industry by providing scenic areas for motorists to relax, eat, and use restrooms in the years before gas stations and convenience stores became commonplace.</p><br>
<p>The overlook was designed by Howard O. Skooglun, an architect working for the NPS. He collaborated with engineer Harold E. Olson and landscape architect A.R. Nichols, both with the MHDs Roadside Development Division. The trio also designed the other CCC-built components of the scenic parkway. These include the Garrison Concourse, Bridge 5265, Bridge 3355, and St. Albans Bay Culvert, all of which are also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>From September 1935 to April 1940, various CCC companies cycled through a camp just south of Garrison as work progressed on the Mille Lacs Lake Highway Improvement Plan. Company 2713-V arrived at the Garrison Camp in July 1939. The company had been established in August 1934 and spent its first two years developing Camden State Park in southwest Minnesota, then three years completing Fort Ridgely State Park in the south-central part of the state. Individual enrollees, however, only served for about nine months. While the regular companies of the CCC were for men under the age of 25, the Veterans Division was established to accept older men—veterans of World War I who had been particularly hard hit by unemployment during the Great Depression, due in part to age discrimination and high incidences of post-war physical and mental disabilities.</p><br>
<p>When the overlook was constructed, MN 18 was a gravel road built through the area just six years earlier as part of a 1932–33 realignment. Stone for the wall and curbs came from a nearby quarry 5 mi south of Isle, Minnesota. Granite was also obtained from quarries near St. Cloud. The masonry was completed in October 1939 and the landscaping was finished the following month, completing the project. The company continued to work in the vicinity until April 1940, when it relocated to the St. Croix Recreational Demonstration Area.</p><br>
<p>Minnesota hosted over 100 CCC companies, but only about six of them comprised veterans. The Mille Lacs project was also rare in that, statewide, only four camps total were sponsored by the MHD for road development. The Kenny Lake Overlook and the nearby Bridge 3355 are the only structures built for the Minnesota Highway Department by a Veterans Division company.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. Van Buren Knott House is a historic building located in Sioux City, Iowa, United States. Knott was a prominent local physician. He had Chicago architect Howard Van Doren Shaw design this Colonial Revival-style house, which is considered an excellent example of the style. The 2½-story brick structure features a symmetrical facade, an entrance porch with Doric columns, a Palladian window above the front entrance, a single-story semi-circular room in the back, and a hip roof roof with dormers. On the south side of the house is a full width porch, with a sleeping porch on the second floor. A pergola in the back leads to a detached two-car garage, which was built a couple of years after the house. The house and garage were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The River Dinan, Deen or Dinin is a river in Ireland, flowing through County Kilkenny and County Laois.</p><br>
<h2>Course</h2><br>
<p>The Dinan rises in the southeast corner of County Laois, flowing westwards under the N78 at Ormond Bridge. It meets the Clogh River near the border with County Kilkenny and continues southwest under Massford Bridge. It flows through Castlecomer and continues southwest through the Kilkenny countryside, passing Jenkinstown Park and flowing under the N77 and meeting the River Nore at Dunmore West, upstream of Kilkenny City. It gives its name to the Barony of Fassadinin ("Wilderness along the Dinin").</p><br>
<h2>Wildlife</h2><br>
<p>Fish species include three-spined stickleback, Atlantic salmon, stone loach, brook lamprey and European river lamprey. It is also home to many white trout, as recorded by Tim Pat Coogan in his memoir.</p><br>
<p>According to local folklore, Saint Patrick cursed the reeds on the bank of the Dinan so that their tops were withered.</p><br>
<p>The Julius and Anine Oversen House is a historic building located in Sioux City, Iowa, United States. In 1888 D.T. and Mary Hedges sold the property on which this house and surrounding neighborhood sits to the city for development. This was in a period of economic expansion that saw Sioux City grow to become the second largest city in Iowa. Julius Oversen worked as a brick mason. He worked on the Sergeant Floyd Monument  in Sioux City. He may have served as contractor for this house, which he had built for his family from 1899 to 1900. This section of the city is called Morningside, and at the time this house was built, the street in front was called Live Oak Street. It was changed to South Lemon Street in 1911 when Sioux City adjusted the names on the streets and addresses in Morningside to correlate with the rest of the city. The two-story brick Italianate house features a wraparound porch, segmental-arched windows, bracketed eaves, and a low-pitched hip roof. In addition to the house, the historic designation of this property includes a two-story frame carriage house, a cistern, an inground</p><br>

<p>The James P. Newton House and Maid Cottage are historic buildings located in Sioux City, Iowa, United States. Newton was a prominent local businessman associated with Haskins Bros. & Co., whose principal product was soap. He was a traveling salesman with the company before he and his brothers bought the company in 1907. He succeeded his brother William as president in 1929. Newton had prominent Sioux City architect William L. Steele design this house, and it is one of his earliest works in the city. The 1½-story frame American Craftsman house and the single-story frame maid&#39;s house near the alley feature clapboard siding, porches with square columns, and low pitched hipped roofs with dormers. The bands of color and the wide eaves are elements from the Prairie School style for which Steele would become well known. The two houses were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<p>The North Omaha Creek Bridge was a historic Pin-connected Pratt truss bedstead bridge that was built in 1905, located on 26 Road, a north–south rural road in Thurston County, Nebraska.</p><br>
<p>When photographed in 2010, the bridge was posted with a 9 t weight limit sign.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was 80 ft long with a roadway 15.4 ft wide. It had a timber decking over transverse steel I-beam stringers.</p><br>
<p>The bridge is apparently no longer extant, as a November 2016 photo, by the same photographer as in 2010, shows a new bridge under construction.</p><br>

<p>The Mylius–Eaton House is a historic building located in Sioux City, Iowa, United States. The house was built by Charles Mylius, who an Italian-born Englishman. Mylius, however, never lived here. That distinction belonged to Franz and Matilda Shenkberg, whose marriage ended in divorce and they sold the house in 1906 to Fred and Lillian Eaton. Eaton was a banker who became the president of the Sioux City Stock Yards, and he was involved in a variety of other businesses and organizations in the community. The house remained in the Eaton family until 1967.</p><br>
<p>The three-story frame Queen Anne house was designed by local architect William D. McLaughlin. It is influenced by the phase of the style developed by Richard Norman Shaw in England. The house has irregular massing with a vertical emphasis. It features clapboard on the first floor, shingles on the second floor, and half-timbering on the third. A full-length porch is located on the main facade, and a porte-cochère on the north elevation. Two porches were carved into the second floor, but one has been removed. The two-story carriage house behind was built after the main house, and is sympathetic in design. The two buildings were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Braehead Ranch is a ranch complex in Converse County, Wyoming, about 17 mi southwest of Douglas. The ranch is in a scenic landscape in the La Prele valley with a view of the red sandstone cliffs of Red Canyon. It was founded by George Harry Cross  in the 1880s. The original log homestead, built in 1883, has been preserved, together with contemporaneous ranch buildings. Contributing structures in the complex include a log barn , a frame barn , a granary , a chicken house , a windmill and a variety of smaller buildings. The main house dates to 1893-1897, of frame construction.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Cross established the ranch in an undeveloped area of Converse County in the 1880s, which quickly became a social center for the area. By 1900 the complex included the Beaver post office, which operated for 15 years. The ranch was named for Crosss Scottish familys ancestral home. Cross himself was born in Montreal on September 15, 1854 and received an education through college. He came to Colorado in 1874 with the intention of becoming a cowboy, then moved to Wyoming in 1875. His 1884 homestead cabin was built by Peter George to accommodate Cross&#39;s new wife Lea Marie.Their first two children died in childhood, but nine lived to adulthood. Cross became a county commissioner and a state senator.</p><br>
<p>Braehead Ranch was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 7, 1995.</p><br>
<p>Akhmatov Fjord, also known as Akhmatov Bay , is a fjord in Severnaya Zemlya, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia. This fjord is clogged by ice most of the year.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The fjord was named in 1913 after the Russian hydrographer who surveyed it in the course of the Arctic Ocean Hydrographic Expedition led by Boris Vilkitsky on behalf of the Russian Hydrographic Service.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Akhmatov Fjord is a fjord with a wide entrance in the northeastern area of Bolshevik Island, the southernmost island of Severnaya Zemlya. It is located southeast of Cape Unslicht on the Laptev Sea shore of the island, east of Mikoyan Bay.</p><br>
<p>The fjord extends in a roughly northeast/southwest direction for about 56 km. The basin inside the fjord has smooth mountains on both sides. Near the mouth Akhmatov Fjord is about 17 km wide, and the inner fjord becomes narrower, averaging 5 km in width.</p><br>
<p>Lishny Island and Yuzhny Island —among other smaller islands, lie on the eastern side of the area near the mouth of the fjord that forms a wide bay.</p><br>
<p>The Darling Inn is a historic former hotel building in the center of Lyndonville, Vermont. Built in 1927–28, it is a rare example of the state of an architecturally neo-Federal building, and one of the last major constructions during the state&#39;s Colonial Revival period. Now converted to a senior care facility, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Darling Inn building occupies a prominent position on Depot Street, downtown Lyndonville&#39;s short principal thoroughfare. It is a large 3-1/2 story brick building, occupying the western half of the block between Elm and Broad Streets. It is topped by a side gable roof, with slightly projecting front-facing gable sections at each end. Gabled and segmented-arch dormers project from the roof in between the two large gables. The central facade is dominated by a broad and deep porch, extending between the end gables, which is covered by a flat roof and supported by clustered columns. Marking the entrance at the center is a gabled pediment. Most windows are 8-over-8 sash, but those above the entrance have a Palladian pattern with narrow side windows flanking a central window. Ground-floor windows at the centers of the end gable sections are larger and set in round-arch openings.</p><br>
<p>The site where the Darling Inn stands has probably held a hotel since not long after the founding of Lyndonville in 1866. The Lyndon Hotel burned down in 1924, and a building committee of local businessmen was formed to develop a replacement. The land was owned by Elmore Darling, a local businessman and philanthropist who had retired from the hotel trade in New York City to his extensive estate north of the town. The principal design was by Wells and Hudson of Hanover, New Hampshire, but Darling personally designed the buildings elaborately decorated dining room. At its opening in 1928, the hotel was described as Vermonts most opulent. It was converted into nursing home in 1964, and has since been converted into apartments.</p><br>
<p>The Johnson Railroad Depot was a historic former railroad station on Railroad Street in Johnson, Vermont. Built in 1887, it was an excellent example of Victorian railroad architecture, serving as a gateway for the town&#39;s industrial products to markets nationwide. Converted to commercial use after rail service was discontinued on the line, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It has since been demolished; a modern building stands where it used to.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Johnson Railroad Depot stood on the south side of Railroad Street south of the village of Johnson, opposite its junction with Creamery Road. It was a long rectangular two-story structure, oriented parallel to the right of way of railroad tracks built by the Saint Johnsbury and Lamoille County Railroad, now occupied by the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail. The depot had a long single-story gable-roofed section, and a shorter two-story section, which housed the stationmasters quarters on the second floor. Common features of these sections include large Stick style brackets on extended eaves, and projecting cornices above the doors and windows. A square telegraphers bay projected from the two-story section on the track side. At the time of its listing on the National Register in 1980, it was still in use as a freight depot, and retained most of its original interior fixtures.</p><br>
<p>The St. Johnsbury and Lamoille introduced service to Johnson in 1872, the year its first station was built. This depot was built in 1887 as a replacement for that one. The station was an important part of the local economy, because most of the area&#39;s industrial products and goods were shipped to market via the railroad. The depot has apparently been demolished; a modern single-story building now stands at its location.</p><br>
<p>The West Milton Bridge is a steel girder bridge carrying Bear Trap Road across the Lamoille River in Milton, Vermont. It was built as a replacement for a 1902 Pennsylvania truss bridge, which was relocated to the site of the Swanton Covered Railroad Bridge, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Setting</h2><br>
<p>The West Milton Bridge is located in the small rural village of West Milton, which is little more than a strip of residences and rural businesses on the eastern shore of the Lamoille River, which empties into Lake Champlain about a mile to the west</p><br>
<h2>Historic bridge</h2><br>
<p>The former West Milton Bridge was a two-span Pennsylvania truss bridge, with an overall length of 329 ft (the individual spans each being 162 ft) and 18 ft wide, carrying a single lane of traffic. The portal clearance was 14 ft. The bridge was built in 1902, and its trusses are among a small number of surviving Pennsylvania trusses in the state. The bridge is also notable for surviving the state&#39;s devastating 1927 floods, which destroyed more than 1,200 bridges. The trusses were manufactured by the American Bridge Company, and the bridge was assembled by the United Construction Company of Albany, New York.</p><br>
<p>The Swanton Covered Railroad Bridge, spanning the Missisquoi River, was built in 1895. By 1973, when it was listed on the National Register, it had been taken out of service and was in deteriorating condition. It was destroyed by fire in 1978. The trusses of the West Milton Bridge were moved to its location, and now form part of a multi-use trail.</p><br>
<p>The Prairie Spring Hotel, also known as the Daniel Morgan Parkinson House, was built in 1834 with Greek Revival elements. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>In 1827 Daniel Morgan Parkinson left his home in Tennessee and brought his family to Galena. He and his sons tried lead-mining but didn&#39;t like it. The family ran an inn in Mineral Point, with his wife Rebecca "...a most excellent and popular landlady...." When the Black Hawk War broke out, Daniel and his son Peter served under Henry Dodge, including in the decisive Battle of Wisconsin Heights.</p><br>
<p>During the war, the Parkinsons spent some time in the stockade of Fort Defiance, five miles southeast of Mineral Point. In 1832 Daniel bought 80 acres of land a half mile from the fort, on the Military Road from Mineral Point to Galena. In 1833 he began building his hotel and home there on the hilltop.</p><br>
<p>This was very early, before Wisconsin was a state. This area was still part of Michigan Territory. Most structures built in the lead-mining region at the time were simple and functional. Parkinson instead built a two-story I-house - a style he knew from Tennessee - with walls of hand-hewn oak joined by mortise and tenon. It was clad in white oak clapboard, with a two-story front porch. The house was originally heated by limestone fireplaces. Inside, walls are lath and plaster, and mantels from the fireplaces remain.</p><br>
<p>Daniel Parkinson continued his public service after the war. He was elected a delegate to the territorial legislature in 1836 and again in 1840. In 1837 he was involved in incorporating the village of Mineral Point. In 1846 he represented Lafayette County at the first Constitutional Convention. In 1848 he served in the state of Wisconsin&#39;s first House of Representatives. He was one of faction that was against banks and paper money, because of bad experiences during the territorial period. In the 1850s he served on the Lafayette county board, representing Willow Springs.</p><br>
<p>Before the hotel was complete, the road from Mineral Point to Galena shifted west, and in the 1840s it shifted further, so the hotel business faded, but the Parkinson family lived in the house and farmed. Parkinsons lived in the house until 1928. It was eventually abandoned and near demolition when in 1994 Dean Connors and the Lead Region Historic Trust moved it 800 feet to the north and stabilized it.</p><br>
<p>The Sioux City Central High School and Central Annex, also known as the Castle on the Hill, are historic buildings located in Sioux City, Iowa, United States. The high school building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was designed by Joliet, Illinois architect F.S. Allen, and built by contractor Eric Lund of Minneapolis. The Gothic Revival and Romanesque Revival structure was built for $104,460, and it reflects the flamboyant attitude of the community during a period of economic expansion. The exterior is composed of brownish-pink Lake Superior Sandstone. It features a large central bell tower that is flanked by two projecting pavilions that are capped by a stepped-gable roof, and turrets at the corners. Initially, this was a three-story building capped with a hipped roof.</p><br>
<p>By 1911 the building had become too small. The north wing was completed in 1912 for $225,000, and it was designed to complement the original building. The stone was purposely smoked to match the older stone. The school received the name Central High School in 1924 when other schools were built. The building was expanded again in 1930 when the hipped roof was removed and the fourth floor was added. The whole interior of the building was also remodeled at that time. The final expansion was the brick annex that was built to the south of the main building. Central High School was closed in 1972 when three new high schools were built in the city.</p><br>
<p>The Castle on the Hill Association acquired the building from the local school district for $1 in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Davidson Building is a historic building located in Sioux City, Iowa, United States. It was constructed by local businessmen and real estate developers Ben and Dave Davidson. They saw the need for an upscale office building for professionals. They hired prominent local architect William L. Steele to design the Early Commercial-style structure. It was built by the leading contractor in the city, Lytle Construction Company. Completed in 1913, it was Sioux City&#39;s first office building. The exterior of the L-shaped, six-story building is composed of terra cotta panels separated by vertical bands of Roman style brick, and capped with an ornate cornice. It is Sullivanesque in its design. Commercial space is located on the first floor, and office space occupies the upper floors. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. In 2016 plans were unveiled to convert the building into a boutique hotel.</p><br>
<p>Lillering Forest is a forest and protected Natura 2000 area in Denmark. It is located in peninsular Denmark in Aarhus Municipality, south of Harlev and some 10 km. west of Aarhus. It is a deciduous forest covering some 50 hectares and it is composed mainly of beech and European ash. It is privately owned but protected and partially managed by Aarhus Municipality and the Danish Nature Agency. The Natura 2000 site covers 135 hectares and also encompasses Tåstrup Bog, Tåstrup Lake and Stjær Forest, south of Lillering Forest. The southern section with Stjær Forest is within, and managed by, Skanderborg Municipality.</p><br>
<h2>Flora and fauna</h2><br>
<p>Lillering Forest and surroundings has been known as a botanically interesting locality for many years with the earliest description dating back to 1877 (Zahrtmann 1877). Some 400 vascular plants have been registered, about a third of Danish plants. A number of plants primarily exist in south-eastern Denmark, and further south, with the northern boundary being at or around Aarhus and some of these are well represented in Lillering Forest. The most important might be hornbeam which has a significant presence. Others are plants such as dead-nettles, white butterbur, bitter-cress, wall barley, yellow and blue anemone and the endangered multicolored viola. In addition a total of nine species of orchids have been registered although in later years only six has been noted - these are the broad-leaved helleborine, green-flowered helleborine, early-purple orchid, western marsh orchid, early marsh-orchid, eggleaf twayblade and the greater butterfly-orchid. The border zone between Tåstrup Bog and Lillering Forest contains woodland geranium and mountain melick.</p><br>
<p>The area contains several rare species of geometer moths associated with buckthorns that grow at the woodland edge or in Tåstrup Bog. The nearby meadows is home to a rare, small owl that lives on species of mouse-ear chickweed. The meadows in the forest has a number of moths such as the six-spot burnet which are endangered in Denmark. Some 6 species are registered of which 3 in Jutland are found only here and 4 are associated with hackberry at the woodland edge. The stream Bøgebakke Bæk has a large population of the uncommon mayfly siphlonurus aestivalis.</p><br>
<h2>Natura 2000</h2><br>
<p>The Natura 2000 protected area includes Tåstrup Lake and adjoining wetlands (c. 20 ha.), Tåstrup Bog (c. 25 ha.), Lillering Forest (ca. 50 ha.) and Stjær Forest consisting of the forests Søskov and Stjær Stenskov (c. 20 ha). The four areas are not connected since former agricultural land separates Lillering Forest and Tåstrup Bog to the north and Tåstrup Lake and Stjær Forest to the south.</p><br>
<p>The Alhambra Apartments is a historic building located in Sioux City, Iowa, United States. The city experienced a building boom in 1929, and this building was constructed at that time by American Builders Incorporated of Lincoln, Nebraska. It was one of five apartment buildings built in the city that year, and based on the cost of construction it was the largest. The six-story U-shaped building rests on top of an underground parking garage. The residents could access the garage by way of an elevator. The building is composed of reinforced concrete faced with tan brick and terra cotta trim. Its design is an eclectic mix of architectural styles with Moorish influences. The Alhambra is located in a residential called the Near North-Side, just outside of the central business district. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<p>Commerce Block is a commercial building in Glenrock, Wyoming, built in 1917 during the Wyoming oil boom of the early 20th century. The nearby Big Muddy oil field brought prosperity to Glenrock, stimulating the growth of the town&#39;s commercial district. The building was built for the Glenrock Investment Company, a consortium of local investors, by Edward R. Reavill. The building housed the Glenrock State Bank until 1934. Other businesses in the building included a bar, a billiard parlor and a drug store. The Empress Theater took a two-story space in the east wing of the block. By the late 1920s the oil boom had ended and the theater passed through several owners, closing intermittently. In 1939 it was renamed the Wyoma Theater and had a prominent marquee.</p><br>
<p>The second floor of the block was occupied by a variety of professional offices and Commerce Hall, a community meeting room. A fire in 1978 damaged the building, leaving it almost vacant into the early 21st century.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The two-story brick building is rectangular in plan, measuring about 50 ft by 123 ft, facing Fourth Street. The block follows the slope of the Fourth Street grade. Prominent terra cotta medallions are placed at the center of the two main facades, both with "The Commerce Block" incised. The interior has been altered to various degrees. The former bank retains its mezzanine and woodwork. The drugstore has a presed metal ceiling in the front portion with original light fixtures. The theater is intact, with seats removed, and its marquee remains. A basement underlies the building with utility spaces. Much of the second floor was gutted following the fire.</p><br>
<p>The Commerce Block was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 21, 2005.</p><br>
<p>The Morgan West Wheatland Cemetery is a cemetery located on 55th Avenue between 10 & 11 Mile Roads in Wheatland Township, Mecosta County, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Beginning in the early 1860s, African Americans began migrating to Isabella, Mecosta, and Montcalm Counties in Michigan. These settlers, primarily from Ohio, but also from Ontario and other parts of Michigan, were drawn by the promise of inexpensive land in the Homestead Act of 1860. This cemetery was informally established in 1864, when Ann Marie (Calliman) Guy, who arrived in the area in 1861 with her husband James Guy, was buried here. Although there was no formal action to set aside the property as a cemetery, over 50 burials took place here in the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>In 1867, Daniel and Mille Cummins Porter, who had arrived in Mecosta County in 1861, purchased a 120-acre farm which included the cemetery land. They eventually left the land to their foster son Aaron Morgan. In 1896, Aaron and Joanna Morgan bequeathed a half-acre parcel of land to the West Wheatland Union Cemetery Association. In 1954, Robert J. and Bernadette Lehnert, then owners of the Morgan Farm, added another two acres. As of 2013, the entire cemetery housed about 400 burial sites, with about 225 in the old section. The cemetery is still in use.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Morgan West Wheatland Cemetery is a rectangular, 2-1/2 acre burial ground fronting on 55th Avenue. Graves are located in the rear of the property, while the front is open. A two-track lane leads to the rear portion of the cemetery. The cemetery contains over 380 marked graves and another 25 unmarked graves. The cemeteray is maintained and neatly trimmed.</p><br>
<p>Graves are laid out in a rectangular grid. Monuments include a range of styles seen in the Midwest, and are constructed from marble, sandstone, limestone, granite, fieldstone, and concrete. They include tablet headstones, pedestals with urn tops, slant-face markers, flat-top markers, and others. Government-issued monuments for veterans are also included. Four monuments or planters are built from fieldstone, and a number of concrete markers, some apparently homemade. A number of early markers display Christian symbolism, including a weeping willow, flowers and foliage, doves, and clasped hands.</p><br>
<p>The James A. and Lottie J.  Quick House is a private house located at 120 North Center Avenue in Gaylord, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>James A. Quick was one of the prominent citizens of Gaylord. He was born in Oakland County, Michigan, on October 7, 1857, and worked on his father’s farm until he moved to the Gaylord area in 1881, following his older brother Charles who had moved to the area two years earlier. The two established a livery barn located across the street from where this house now stands. They operated the barn until 1891, after which the brothers started a mercantile business in Gould City, Michigan. They returned to Gaylord in 1895 and opened a new Quick Brothers store. The brothers partnered with Almon Comstock and established a hardware store, a bank, and were active in real estate.</p><br>
<p>James and Charles Quick purchased the lot this house sits on in 1890. James Quick constructed a house on the lot in 1900, but did not buy out his brother&#39;s interest until 1903. In 1902, James Quick suffered an illness that caused him to withdraw from his business, although he did later serve as a village trustee. He lived in this house until his death in 1909.</p><br>
<p>James&#39; wife Lottie took over his business after his death in 1909, as well as running a millinery store she had opened in 1906. However, by 1912 she had sold her Gaylord business, opened a new millinery store in Detroit, and moved to that city, although she continued to manage the Quick businesses in Gaylord. The Quick house remained vacant for a year, and in 1913 Dr. Harry Knapp purchased the it, intending to use it for his residence and medical office. Knapp constructed a separate patient entrance to the house.</p><br>
<p>In 1919, the dentist Dr. William Housen moved into the house. and in 1921 another dentist, Dr. Charles Saunders, purchased the house. Saunders both lived in and practiced dentistry out of the house for a time, but by 1936 had relocated his practice downtown. In about 1950 he constructed an addition to the house. Saunders lived in the Quick house until his death in 1970. His wife Helen continued to live in the house until her death in 1999. The house has been vacant since that time. Applegate Building purchased the house in 2013 and as of 2016 plans to rehabilitate it into a restaurant.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Quick house is a two-story cross-gable hipped roof wood frame Queen Anne home, with clapboard siding and decorative shingling, constructed in 1900. It sits on an uncoursed fieldstone foundation, and is roofed with faux diamond slate asphalt shingles applied over cedar shingles.</p><br>
<p>The front of the house features a wraparound hipped roof open porch, with a turned-baluster railing that spans the entire facade. The opening to the porch is framed by Tuscan columns. One bay of the porch was enclosed in the mid-twentieth century to form a sunroom. The original wood front door is</p><br>
<p>still on the porch, near a large window. Above the porch is a second-story balcony. The gable above is shingled, and to either side displays a large one-over-one double-hung window.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the house is substantially original. The first floor woodwork is primarily tiger maple, and has never been painted. The original wood flooring is in place throughout the house, save for the kitchen and bathrooms. The entryway, dining room, and front parlor have wood floors finished in concentric squares with alternating maple and oak wood planks. The second story wood trim is pine. The house also has its original cast iron floor and wall registers and plaster on wood lathe walls.</p><br>
<p>The J.R. Darling Store is a historic commercial building at 1334 Scott Highway  in Groton, Vermont. It was built about 1895 on a site that has long housed commercial activity, and was the town&#39;s last general store. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The J.R. Darling Store is located in the linear village center of Groton, on the north side of Scott Highway near its junction with Powder Spring Road. Scott Highway (US 302) is a major regional east-west route, connecting to Montpelier in the west and Littleton, New Hampshire in the east, and points beyond. The store is an L-shaped 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and mostly granite foundation. The exterior is finished in a combination of wooden clapboards and vinyl siding, and has modest vernacular Victorian decoration. The front facade has a recessed entrance flanked by a square commercial display windows, with an open balustraded porch above. A secondary entrance projects from the side of the main block. A residential ell extends to the right of the main block from its rear, with part covered by a single-story shed-roof porch.</p><br>
<p>The location where the Darling Store stands has a commercial history, including a tailors shop established by one of Grotons first white settlers in the early 19th century. Later, a tavern with meeting hall was built in the site; the hall was for many years where town meetings were held. About 1877, Jonathan R. Darling, a prominent local businessman and politician, purchased the property, and relocated the tavern portion to adjacent land (were it now forms part of the Alice Lord Goodine House, the public library). The oldest portion of the present building, its front section, was built about 1895, and it was enlarged several times, achieving its present form in the 1920s. Portions of the building were extensively damaged by a fire in 1980, but were sympathetically rebuilt. The building now houses residences in the rear and a winery shop in the front retail section.</p><br>

<p>The Lamoille County Courthouse is centrally located in the village of Hyde Park, amid a cluster of other government buildings set back from the south side of Main Street. It is an imposing -story brick building, with -story pyramid-roofed tower rising from the front left corner. The main roof is hipped, with dormers projecting from each side, and a low pyramidal roof at the front right corner. The tower has a square belfry stage below the roof, which is pierced by dormered clock faces and topped by a weathervane. The front facade is five bays wide, with a single-story porch extending across the center three bays. It is supported by round columns, and has Union Jack balustrade both on the ground floor, and encircling its roof. Second-floor windows are set in round-arch openings, with the outer and central bays housing doubled windows.</p><br>
<p>The countys first courthouse was built in Hyde Park in 1836, not long after the county was created by the state legislature, and Hyde Park was chosen as its shire town. That courthouse and 17 other buildings were destroyed by Hyde Parks "Great Fire" in 1910; county records were preserved in fireproof safes. The present building was built in 1911–12 to a design by Burlington architect Zachary Taylor Austin. It is stylistically a distinctive blend of the Colonial Revival and Romanesque Revival, a combination not seen in the states other county courthouses. The interior, which includes a large courtroom spanning the second floor, has seen little alteration since its construction. It is believed that this buildings fire vaults may be those from the 1836 courthouse.</p><br>
<p>Ironton City Hall is a historic municipal building in Ironton, Minnesota, United States. It was built in 1917 to house the citys offices, fire department, library, jail, and an auditorium that hosted numerous community organizations and events. Ironton City Hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002 for having local significance in the themes of politics/government and social history. It was nominated for being the longstanding focal point of Irontons government services and community activities.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Ironton City Hall is a two-story rectangular building measuring about 94 by. The principal façades are to the west and south. A one-story, 36 by extension at the northeast corner originally housed the jail. Centered on the east façade is a two-and-a-half-story tower used to dry the fire department&#39;s hoses.</p><br>
<p>The building rests on a limestone foundation with a partial basement. The walls are polychrome brick in shades of red, brown, black, and orange. The hip roof has wide eaves supported by projecting wooden brackets. A hip-roofed dormer is centered on the western façade.</p><br>
<p>The west and south façades have the most decorative elements. Decorative brickwork frames the ground-floor windows and doors, and two belt courses of corbeled bricks accentuate the division between the upper and lower floors. Bricks above the second-floor windows are set to form flat relief arches. Each is surmounted by a semicircular transom window set into a brick arch. However these fanlights were covered over with plywood around 1980. The negative space defined by the arches is stucco rather than brick. All three rows of windows have wide limestone window sills, and the upper two rows are punctuated with white keystones. The prominent downspouts at the corners were added in a 1996 remodeling.</p><br>
<p>There are three primary doorways, one on the south and two on the west. The latter two were enclosed in shed-like additions around 1980. Three garage doors on the south façade provide access for firefighting equipment.</p><br>
<p>The second-floor interior originally consisted of a large auditorium with a balcony, plus a kitchen and two small reading rooms.</p><br>
<h2>Origin</h2><br>
<p>The city of Ironton was platted in 1910 as iron mining of the Cuyuna Range fueled a local economic boom. Inspired by the City Beautiful movement, co-founder John H. Hill envisioned a town with wide streets, public parks, and fashionable amenities to attract cultured residents and families to what would otherwise have been a rough mining town. His suggestion for a centrally located, multipurpose city hall was not approved by the city council, however, until 1916. A public vote that November overwhelmingly supported construction of such a hall and the issuance of a $20,000 municipal bond to finance the project.</p><br>
<p>By then the boomtown had no suitable empty lots, so the city cleared one by paying nominal fees to the owners of three houses and covering the cost of relocating the structures elsewhere. The selected site was adjacent to Ironton&#39;s main business district and across the street from the railroad depot. Four bids for construction of the hall were received in June 1917 and the contract went to Alex Nelson of Perham, Minnesota. Construction began the next week and the building was dedicated in December of that year.</p><br>
<h2>Use</h2><br>
<p>Upon opening, Ironton City Hall included space for city council meetings, the fire department, and the jail. The city&#39;s public library was officially established in 1920 and immediately moved into the hall as well.</p><br>
<p>The fire department&#39;s space included an equipment room with three garage doors, and a club room with lockers, showers, and recreational furnishings. The department received its first motorized fire engine shortly after completion of the hall. Its staff also performed the maintenance activities for the building and used the basement as a gymnasium. In 1920 an alarm bell at the top of the hose tower was replaced with an electric siren and the garage doors were modified because they were too short to accommodate some new firefighting equipment.</p><br>
<p>Law enforcement remained an issue in the mining town, and one or two marshals worked out of the hall. The jail wing included four cells. This allowed Ironton to stop contracting with the adjacent city of Crosby to house its prisoners, and in fact it began housing prisoners for nearby Deerwood.</p><br>
<p>The second-floor auditorium could seat up to 400 people and was available for rent by community groups. Booking fees were discounted for organizations raising money for charity. Many of the first events held in the hall were benefits for American soldiers serving in World War I or their dependents at home. A wide variety of organizations booked the auditorium, including fraternal societies, ethnic clubs, sports teams, scout groups, and the local high school. Events ranged from "dramatic readings" to dances, concerts, craft bazaars, and at least one indoor carnival. The room was also pressed into service as a hospital during the 1918 flu pandemic.</p><br>
<h2>Later history</h2><br>
<p>The need for police services in Ironton waned with the demise of the mining industry. The Ironton police department was disbanded in 1971 and law enforcement services were contracted to Crosby once again. The city halls upper floor and basement were closed off in 1993 due to accessibility issues. Accessible restrooms were installed on the ground floor in 1996, part of a renovation that also reconfigured the division between the government offices and the library. At the time of the propertys National Register nomination in 2002, the building still housed the city council chambers, county clerks office, childrens library, and fire department.</p><br>
<p>The Andy Gibson was a steamboat that serviced the headwaters of the Mississippi River in the USA state of Minnesota from 1884 to 1894. After her retirement, the ship was left in a drydock outside her home port of Aitkin, Minnesota, and gradually dismantled for parts. The hull and drydock eventually sank out of sight. It is thus unique among USA shipwrecks for still resting on a drydock cradle. The Andy Gibson shipwreck  was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012 for having state-level significance in the themes of commerce, engineering, entertainment/recreation, maritime history, non-aboriginal historic archaeology, and transportation. It was nominated for comprising the rare and well-preserved remains of a Mississippi River steamboat.</p><br>
<p>The M.S. Whitcomb Farm is a historic farm property on United States Route 2 in Richmond, Vermont. Established in the 1850s as a horse farm, it has seen agricultural use in some form since then. Its most distinguishing feature is a large bank barn with a monitor roof, built in 1901. The property, now 170 acre, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Whitcomb Farm property is located about 1.5 mi east of the village center of Richmond, on a roughly triangular parcel that abuts Interstate 89 to the south and is divided by US 2. The area south of US 2 is mainly bottomlands of the Winooski River, and have traditionally been used for crops, while the area north of that road is hillier, and has traditionally been used as pastureland. The farmstead complex is set on the north side of US 2, and is roughly centered on the farms road frontage. The complexs most prominent feature, visible from the interstate, is a large three-story bank barn with a monitor roof. At the western end of the farmstead is a 2-1/2 story wood frame farmhouse with Italianate appearance; it is a reconstruction (using some surviving elements) of an 1875 building that burned down in 1982. To the right of the bank barn is a round-roofed metal storage barn built about 1975.</p><br>
<p>This land was cleared for farming sometime in the early 19th century. It was in 1821 the birthplace of George F. Edmunds, a United States Senator from Vermont. The farm in its present form was started in the early 1850s by William Freeman as a horse breeding operation, which he sold in 1854 to M.S. Manwell. This farm and other surrounding land were consolidated by the late 1880s into a single predominantly dairy operation by Moses S. Whitcomb. He is credited with building the monitor-roofed bank barn in 1901; it is one of the only barns of this type in the entire state.</p><br>
<p>The Patrick Casey House is a historic house in Aitkin, Minnesota, United States. It was built in 1901 in a mix of Queen Anne and Neoclassical styles. Original owner Patrick Casey  was a partner in the Potter/Casey Company, the regions leading retail chain. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 for having local significance in the themes of architecture and commerce. It was nominated for its association with one of Aitkins most prominent businessmen at the turn of the 20th century, and for being one of northern Minnesota&#39;s few architecturally distinctive residences outside of Duluth and the Iron Range cities.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Patrick Casey moved to Aitkin in his 20s, first working as a teamster in logging camps. However he met Warren Potter, a former Civil War colonel who owned a series of retail stores in the area. Casey was hired as the manager of Potters branch in Grand Rapids. When Potters business partner David Williard retired, Casey was offered the partnership. Together the two men built the renamed Potter–Casey Company into the region&#39;s leading retailer.</p><br>
<p>Patrick Casey married Elizabeth Emma Killeen in 1882. They went on to have seven children, though their son Albert Edward Casey drowned at age seven. After Patrick Casey&#39;s death in 1910, his widow continued to live in the house for many years. She ultimately downsized and donated the house to the Benedictine Sisters of Duluth, who reopened the building as Maryhill Academy, a parochial school, in 1939. The school closed in 1968, and the following year a portion of the original 22 acre estate was sold off to build an apartment complex. The Casey House saw use as a group home, first for teenage girls, then in the 1980s for adults with mental disabilities. In 2001 the building was sold again and refurbished as a single-family home.</p><br>
<p>The Fitchburg Yarn Mill is an historic mill building at 1428 Main Street in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. Built in 1907 and enlarged several times, it was one of the city&#39;s largest textile operations for over 60 years. The building is an important local work of Frank Sheldon, a noted industrial architect of the period. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Fitchburg Yarn Mill is located on the between Main Street and the north bank of the Nashua River northwest of downtown Fitchburg. The main building is, at 500 ft in length and 110 ft in width, one of the city&#39;s largest industrial buildings. It is three stories in height and built out of red brick. Windows are set in segmented-arch openings with concrete sills, the bays articulated by simple brick pilasters. Attached to the main mill are a two-story office building, an engine house, and a round brick chimney.</p><br>
<p>The Fitchburg Yarn Company was incorporated in 1906, and this plant was built and operations begun the following year. The building reached its present dimensions in 1919, with the construction of the easternmost section. The building was designed by Frank Sheldon, an industrial architect based in Providence, Rhode Island; his firm provided industrial architectural services across the eastern United States, and is credited with a number of significant surviving mills. The company&#39;s leadership were all prominent local businessmen; members of Lyman family were involved in the management of the company for most of its operational existence. The mill was closed about 1970.</p><br>
<p>Oued Merguellil  is a stream in central Tunisia that flows via Sebkhet Cherita Lake, into the Mediterranean Sea at the Gulf of Hammamet.</p><br>
<p>Oued Merguellil is found at 35° 50′ 34″ N, 10° 16′ 18″ E in central Tunisia. The stream flow is irregular with a variation of 300mm through the year in the catchment basin.</p><br>
<p>During Roman Times the area was intensely farmed and today irrigation from the stream goes to Olive and Apricot production. The El Haouareb Dam is on the stream.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Traces of human presence dating back to the Lower Paleolithic were found in the basin of the river Merguellil and demonstrate the antiquity of the settlement of the area by nomads.</p><br>
<p>Upon arrival, the Romans, became the first sedentary occupants, settled mainly in areas rich in water from the upstream reservoir, more development of housing and of agriculture and where various relics were found. They used techniques for using runoff water, including the construction of water harvesting structures, and develop olive growing - activity shown by the many olive presses found - but also the livestock and grain farming.</p><br>
<p>From the 7th century, the various invasions destroy existing facilities. The Arab, Zlass tribe finally settled in the plain, confining the Berbers in the mountains as Jebel Ousselat. The Arabs do not bring new farming techniques and focus on urban development. Kairouan is well equipped with a large water development, the Aghlabid pools, which collects the waters of the watershed to supply the city with drinking water.</p><br>
<p>The 18th and 19th centuries, saw the area retain a nomadic economy but the region and the poverty that affects areas steppe. When French colonists settled in the valley in the late they established large plantations, and force the nomads off the steppe into the mountains. Two large French only areas were established to export grain, livestock products and the arboriculture to France. Thse were one at site of El Haouareb dam (3700 hectares ) and the other at Haffouz and Oueslatia (8000 hectares). The modernized agriculture profoundly changed the agricultural landscape, including the destruction of traditional water collection facilities. Ally plowing quickly cause erosion and a significant decrease in soil fertility.</p><br>
<p>After the Tunisian independence in 1956, arboriculture and the appearance of the large scale irrigation(especially from the 1970s ) improved the agricultural potential of the basin but also reduced the area available for livestock, which results in a decrease in herd size and a further settling of nomads.</p><br>
<p>The traditionally popular, mountainous areas become areas of poverty, the development of cities rapidly promoting the rural exodus, although few watershed inhabitants migrated abroad. That is why the Tunisian Government was implementing a policy for remote areas of the upstream basin since 1987; their development remains difficult because most households do not have the running water and some homes are only accessible via non-motorable tracks.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The bed of the wadi Merguellil born in the mountain ranges of the plateau Makthar.</p><br>
<p>After crossing through the fault of El Haouareb, at which a dam was built, it turns into a large river bed but unstable across the plain of Kairouan where tributaries of Wadi Cherishira) and Djebel Baten, join it before heading north-east.</p><br>
<p>Its waters do not meet the Mediterranean but sometimes end up partly in the sebkha Kelbia while another part joined the Oued Zeroud flowing in parallel, fifteen kilometers to the south.</p><br>
<h2>Infrustructure</h2><br>
<p>Various dams were built on the upstream basin of Wadi Merguellil to fight against floods and supply of agricultural areas by irrigation. The hydrological functioning of the oued has thus been upset. Many facilities to protect against the erosion also significantly altered surface runoff feeding the wadi.</p><br>
<p>The Merguelil basin has seen piecemeal changes against erosion from the 1950s. After some work done in the context of public works to fight against unemployment, a project in cooperation with the USAID funded between 1962 and 1972 the first interventions (benches and hill lakes). But it is the big flood in 1969 which lead to major developments in the context of an overall policy. The El Haouareb Dam, inaugurated in 1989, is the main one; It takes its name from the town of El Haouareb located twelve kilometers southeast of Haffouz and thirty kilometers southwest of Kairouan. Sized according to the 1969 rates, it has a maximum capacity of 90 million cubic meters but was never fully completed, the average annual contribution of between 5 and 37 million cubic meters.</p><br>
<p>To prevent its silting, the upstream basin is equipped with more than 200 km² benches, lakes and dams (38 lakes and five earth dams) for an average volume of one million cubic meters. Three decades later, they have given way to integrated planning. For if it reduces the silting of the dam of El Haouareb, it causes the same time reducing water intake downstream, threatening the exploitation of groundwater in the plain of Kairouan is dependent on the charging of the dam.</p><br>
<h2>Economy</h2><br>
<p>In the upstream basin, the farmers practice farming in dry: arboriculture of olive trees (71% of plantations) and almonds (12%) and cereals dominate this area even though there are also small farms. However, due to the small size of farms - often less than five hectares - and fluctuating climatic conditions, farmers are often forced to seasonal migration to the cities to supplement their incomes. Moreover, apart from in a few municipalities such as El Alâa, Haffouz or Kesra, settlement is scattered, isolated and difficult to access. Crops irrigated are present only on a few places near available water resources because the erosion of soil provides low yields.</p><br>
<p>In the downstream basin, irrigated agriculture, especially vegetables, is much more present and water resources has enabled a diversification of crops even if the agricultural landscape remains little changed: cereals (such as durum wheat, sorghum, oats and barley ), potato, onion, pea, bean, pepper, watermelon, melon, tomato, olive, apple, apricot or peach. The governorate figures also ranks first nationally in the production of apricots and peppers.</p><br>
<p>The good water quality upstream basin has allowed the emergence of many boreholes to supply the area tourism of the Sahel.</p><br>
<p>The National Woodenware Company Superintendents Residence is a historic house in Hill City, Minnesota, United States. It was built in 1910 as housing for the local manager of a manufacturing plant that produced wooden buckets and tubs for Armour and Company. The National Woodenware Company relocated to Hill City from Ithaca, Michigan, in 1910, purchasing a third of the towns lots, constructing residences for its employees, and tripling the population. The Superintendents Residence was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 for having local significance in the themes of exploration/settlement and industry. It was nominated for being the most prominent reminder of Hill Citys principal employer and developer in the early 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The Guyton Historic District is a 250 acre historic district in the city of Guyton, Georgia. It is bounded by the city limits on the east, south, and west, and Alexander Ave. on the north, and it includes 136 contributing buildings and one other contributing structure.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It was deemed significantas a relatively well preserved rural community that developed along the railroad tracks during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Its founding and growth illustrate traditional locational and community planning theories. Because it was readily accessible to Savannah, it became an early example of a "bedroom community" for commuter businessmen and professionals.</p><br>
<p>Its architecture reflects many of the prevailing design principles and construction practices of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.</p><br>
<p>Sope Creek Ruins are located at the intersection of Paper Mill Road and Sope Creek in Cobb County, Georgia and are old industrial ruins. These ruins are the remnants of a larger manufacturing complex which drew on the waterpower that the creek produced. During the period 1850 to 1940, a succession of enterprises, from a  paper mill, twine plant, flour mill and hydroelectric power plant occupied an area of about one mile along the creek.</p><br>
<p>The paper mill at Sope Creek was run by Marietta Paper Mills and incorporated on December 19, 1859, possibly by Andrew Schofield Edmondston and Saxon A. Anderson. Facilities at the paper mill included a mill, oil room, office, mill sluice (raceway), storeroom, dam, machine shop, pulp-grinding mill, and two shelters.</p><br>
<p>The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places (National Register of Historic Places listings in Cobb County, Georgia) on April 27, 1973, with its address lasted as restricted.</p><br>
<h2>Civil War production constraints</h2><br>
<p>The Daily Intelligencer of Atlanta printed a letter dated September 10, 1863, from Mr. A.S. Edmonston. In it, Mr. Edmondston pleads with the Intelligencer, letting them know that while they are the newspaper’s main source of paper, they can only send them so much due to war constraints. Edmondston writes:</p><br>
<p>I have on hand a few bundles of paper, which I will ship you, and this will be the last for some time; for when we shall resume again I cannot tell. My hands volunteered in the Home Guard, to protect the country against raids, and are now called out to guard stores and prepare the defences of your city, I understand. In the first instance, at the commencement of the war, I was disposed to aid all in my power and encouraged two of the hands to volunteer in Confederate service. This left hardly hands enough to get along with when all were well. Afterwards we lost two or three hands, and this left us short of hands, and one machine has only run when our hands have worked eighteen hours in the day.--We applied for the detail of the hands which has not been done, though the Government has been urgent for paper, and we have strained every nerve to supply. Shorthanded, we have done the best we could, and now all our hands are taken, of course we are obliged to stop.</p><br>
<p>Edmondston goes on to complain about the fact that while the Confederate government demands paper, he is shorthanded because paper workers were not considered vital to the war effort. Edmondston stated: “You know Paper makers are not to be had South, and are not like Shoe-Makers, and many other callings which give exemptions to so many thousands, and cannot be learned after the Conscript officer takes after a fellow.”</p><br>
<p>The paper supply became even harder to come by when on July 5, 1864, Union soldiers under the command of General Gerrard burned the Marietta Paper Mill, along with Denmead’s Flour Mill. The paper mill was rebuilt in 1865, only to burn again in 1870 and be rebuilt in 1871. The mill struggled to survive the years immediately following the second rebuilding. The mills were sold at a public sale in 1873 and restructured as the Marietta Paper Manufacturing Company. In 1888 and 1889, a wood pulp mill and a twine factory were added to the site, respectively. Finally, in 1902, production at that location stopped.</p><br>
<h2>Media accounts</h2><br>
<p>The Atlanta Constitution printed a picture of the Paper Mill ruins on the banks of the Soap creek in May 1932. The caption read “GREAT WALLS BUILT BY SLAVE LABOR… Before the Civil War this building housed a large paper mill.” This is the only reference to slavery in the material concerning the Sope Creek Industrial Area. It should also be noted that the language of this caption infers that the paper mill never recovered from the burning by Gerrard’s men, when in fact it had.</p><br>
<p>In 1933, the Atlanta Journal printed an article reminiscing about the Marietta Paper Mills. In an editorial note that accompanied the article, a senior staff member at the Journal, H.H. Cabaniss, recalled that the Marietta Paper Mills, under the ownership of Saxon A. Anderson, supplied paper for a great many of the Atlanta area daily newspapers. In 1867, Cabaniss had been the business manager for the Atlanta New Era and bought his paper in rolls from the Marietta Paper Mills.</p><br>
<h2>Flour mill, hydroelectric dam, and power plant</h2><br>
<p>Along with the paper mill was Denmead’s Flour Mill. Founded in 1855, Edward Denmead had built a flour mill on the west bank about 200 yards up from where Paper Mill Road and Sope Creek intersect. Denmead apparently ran this operation and shared a road off of Paper Mill Road with the Marietta Paper Mills. The flour mill was burnt at the same time as the paper mill, but apparently was never rebuilt.</p><br>
<p>In 1922, a hydroelectric dam and a power plant were built on the west side of the creek 900 yards (~820m) upstream from where Paper Mill Road crosses. As of 1973, this dam was inoperable.</p><br>
<p>When the GHC submitted its report in March 1973, they gave great detail to the purpose of every remaining structure. Additionally, the description of the layout of the site was accurate enough that someone could attempt to locate and identify all remaining structures. The mill room: “The largest structure remaining is the mill building downstream from Paper Mill Road approximately ¼ mile on the east bank of the Creek. It contained five rooms and is approximately 300 feet long.” The oil room and office was “nearby… just across a small creek.” The pulp-grinding mill was “just south of Paper Mill Road. It is two stories high and approximately 100 feet long.” Denmead’s flourmill was described, although evidence is difficult to spot today, due to construction. Even the foundations of an old bridge, which lay near the aforementioned dam, were identified.</p><br>
<p>In the GHC report there is no mention of a printing press. In the all the articles concerning the ruins at Sope Creek, never once is there any mention of a printing press. The idea that the Confederate States of America used to print money on the banks of the Sope Creek had to have developed somewhere.</p><br>
<p>One single article mentions money printing. The New York Times printed an article on May 31, 1968, written by Lincoln A. Werden, describing the Atlanta Golf Classic being played at Atlanta Country Club. The Atlanta Country Club abuts Sope Creek about a third of a mile from the Sope Creek entrance to the Chattahoochee. Werden writes “The par-3 13th, a 135-yard hole, is a photographer’s delight. The tee is on high ground and Soap Creek, a fast moving muddy stream, runs in front of the green. To the left is a waterfall and off to the right of the green is the site of a former Confederate mint.”</p><br>
<p>Outside of the golfers themselves, the only source Werden quoted was the tournament director, Jack Tuthill. At that time, Atlanta Country Club was only four years old and hosting a major tournament event.</p><br>
<p>Research shows there was no Mint at the Mill on Sope Creek. The Paper Mill in Marietta was one of the first wood using Mills in the State of Georgia. The Wood-using Mill went into operation in 1864 shortly after the original Mill was burned by the Union Army. The Mill made newsprint paper by grinding loblolly and short leaf pine mixed with imported pulp. One of the major products manufactured was paper for Confederate Money. The story of the Mint developed over time from the fact that the Mill manufactured and shipped paper that Confederate Money was printed on. There was no Mint and the Mill did not print money but it did manufacture the paper.</p><br>
<p>The District 6 School House is a historic school building at 73 Cemetery Circle in Lyndon, Vermont. Built in 1857, it served as a school until 1900, and saw use in the 20th century as a garage, storage facility, and museum. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former District 6 School House stands in the village of Lyndon Center, on the north side of Cemetery Circle. It is set just north of the town&#39;s 1809 town hall, and east of the village cemetery. It is single-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, clapboarded exterior, and modern concrete foundation. The front facade is symmetrical and relatively plain, with a pair of entrances, each framed by pilasters and corniced entablature. The building corners are also pilastered. The interior has a reproduction of original flooring, but other features contemporary to its use as a schoolhouse have been preserved.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1857, and is one of the town&#39;s few surviving 19th-century district school buildings. It served as a school until 1900, and was closed after the town adopted consolidated schooling mandated by the state. It was then sold to the local fire district which used it for storage, and it then served as a service garage for the adjacent cemetery. It was given a meticulous restoration the 2000s by the local historical society for use as a local history museum.</p><br>
<p>The Fremont, Elkhorn & MIssouri Valley Railroad Passenger Depot, also known as the Chicago and North Western Railway Passenger Depot and presently as the Douglas Railroad Interpretive Center, was built in 1887 in Douglas, Wyoming to accommodate traffic on the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley Railroads  terminus at the newly built town. The depot was built as a fairly small, cautious investment in a possibly ephemeral frontier town. Immediately following the completion of the depot Douglas saw an epidemic of typhoid fever and the worst winter in a generation, and the railroad decided to push on to Casper for its terminus. The towns population declined from 1600 in 1886 to 900 in 1888. By 1891 Owen Wister reported that Douglas had a population of about 350. However, by 1910 Douglas had 2246 residents and hosted the Wyoming State Fair. The presence of the fair stimulated rail traffic, while the FE&MV merged with the Cheyenne and Northern Railway in 1903. In 1905 oil development started. In the 1950s coal mining began for the Dave Johnson Power Plant and the railway expanded its Douglas facilities to accommodate the traffic, closing the original depot and building a larger facility. The depot was acquired from the railroad&#39;s successor, the Chicago and North Western Railway, by the city in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The rectangular frame structure is a typical small railroad depot, measuring about 64 ft by 26 ft, built to a standardized railroad plan. Like most such depots, the station has a protruding bay on the long side facing the track to allow the stationmaster to see up and down the line. The interior has five spaces: a waiting toom, an office, bathrooms, freight handling and freight storage. The interior woodwork is intact.</p><br>
<p>The depot was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 3, 1994.</p><br>
<p>The Hotel Higgins, Tabor Hotel or Higgins Hotel was built in 1916-1917 during the oil boom in Glenrock, Wyoming. It was built for John E. Higgens, who was a local rancher, legislator and oil business investor, and his wife Josephine Amoretti Higgins. It was designed by architect Edward Reavill, and it opened on May 9, 1917. After the accidental death of Geraldine in 1924 and the death of John in 1926 the property was disputed by their heirs. This was resolved in 1942 when the hotel was sold to Dr. and Mrs. Leonard Tabor at a tax sale, and the hotel became the Tabor Hotel. After several new owners the hotel became the Hotel Higgins again in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Hotel Higgins is a 2-1/2 story wood frame building with a U-shaped plan. Two major blocks face the street with deep hipped roofs, connected by a hipped block of the same height set back from the street and fronted by a one-story entrance porch. The side elevations feature small shed dormers that are almost as wide as the hip ridge. Rafter tails are exposed at the eaves. As built it had 38 rooms, with high ceilings and plaster ceiling trim. The original lap siding on the exterior has been covered by asbestos shingle siding.</p><br>
<p>The Hotel Higgins was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 25, 1983.</p><br>
