<p>Butterfly Lodge is a five and half room log cabin, originally constructed as a hunting lodge in 1913 for the author, James Willard Schultz. Originally a rectangular building measuring 18 feet by 24 feet, it has been expanded over the years and now covers 40 feet, 10 inches by 32 feet, 6 inches, the shorter side being the front of the cabin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 17, 1992.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The cabin exists in a rural area off of Forest Road (FR) 245, just to the west of its intersection with Arizona State Route 373. Schultz financial success as a writer and explorer enabled him to build the first cabin by a non-resident in the remote White Mountains. Two men from nearby Greer, Arizona, John T. Butler and Cleve Wiltbank, built the cabin in 1913, intending to be used by James Willard Schultz as a hunting lodge and retreat.</p><br>
<p>The exterior of the cabin has also undergone changes over the years. Initially, there was no front porch, the main entry was reached by two wooden steps. There was very minimal trim as well after its construction, and very early on there was an Indian geometric design painted on the front door, as well as the phrase "Apuni Oyis 1914" painted on the front fascia. Apuni Oyis is Blackfoot for "Butterfly Lodge". Above the apex of the front door there was an antlered deer skull mounted. The two wooden steps were replaced by a wooden porch, followed by a stone porch, with a wooden railing supported by concrete and rock tapered pylons. The modest trim was replaced very early on, with wider, more ornate trim, which exists to this day. By the end of the 1930s the deer skull was removed, and the skull of steer was placed above the windows. The natural logs lost their bark, and eventually the structure was painted brown, with the trim originally painted green, which was changed to brown later on. Currently, the railing on the porch is in a state of disrepair, as is the concrete surface of the porch.</p><br>
<p>From its initial construction through the 1920s, the house was used by Schultz primarily as a retreat and a base for hunting. However, it is likely that he did some of his writing on the premises. In the 1930s Schultz transferred ownership to his son, Lone Wolf. It was Lone Wolf&#39;s primary residence from the 1920s through the 1960s. While he did maintain a residence in Tucson, and a temporary summer shelter in Montana, the cabin near Greer was his base. The long-term lease originally given to Schultz in the 1910s expired with the death of Lone Wolf in 1970, and the property, along with the cabin, reverted to the National Forest Service. During the 1970s and 1980s, the Forest Service used the cabin to house men and equipment. In 1990 the supervisor of the Apache National Forest applied for inclusion the National Register of Historic Places. The organization, James Willard Schultz-Lone Wolf Museum, obtained the cabin and the two acres surrounding it from the Forest Service, and established the Butterfly Lodge Museum.</p><br>
<h2>Structure</h2><br>
<p>The cabin consists of 5 and half rooms, of logs with plank and slab construction. Originally it covered 18 feet by 24 feet, but has been expanded with three additions during the 1920s and 1930s, and now covers 40 feet, 10 inches by 32 feet, 6 inches, the shorter side being the front of the cabin, which lies to the southwest of the building. There was a fireplace on the east end of the structure. The logs were hewn on three sides, leaving the bark on the fourth side to serve as exterior facing, as well as their corners having a double saddle notch in the corners of the building. The logs were procured from the Isaacson Saw Mill, which was located not far away on Benny Creek.</p><br>
<p>The first addition was made to the west corner in 1914, consisting of a shed-roof room, running the entire length of the cabin, and increasing the width of the cabin by 13 feet, nine inches. This addition most likely served as a bedroom and storage area. At some point during the 1920s, another room was added to the cabin, this time to east corner of the structure. However, this room did not run the full length, and thus created an "L" shape to the building, and was intended as an artist&#39;s studio. The final addition to the structure was made in 1929, in the north corner, which returned the structure to a rectangular shape. It was used as the kitchen.</p><br>
<p>The front door is located on the southwest well of the building, and is of vertical tongue and groove construction, measuring six feet, two inches tall by two feet, ten inches wide. To the west of the door are four horizontal two-over-three sash windows, each window measuring eight inches tall by ten inches wide. The gable has enclosed eaves and reaches eleven feet in height. The first addition increased the length of this side of the structure by almost fourteen feet, and includes two casement windows with two-over-two sash on this side of the building. Each of the windows is ten inches tall by eight inches wide.</p><br>
<p>The northwest side can be broken down into three sections, each corresponding to the interior room it encloses. All the sections are plank construction with slab exterior. Each of the three sections contains a window. The first window looks into the bedroom and a double hung two-over-two sash measuring ten inches high by eight inches wide. The second window looks into the bathroom, and is identical to the bedroom window. The third window, looking into the kitchen, is a two-over-two casement measuring ten inches high by fourteen inches wide.</p><br>
<p>The rear of the cabin faces northeast and contains a door and two sets of windows. Nearest the northwest corner are two windows of horizontal two-over-two sash construction, each measuring ten inches high by sixteen inches wide. Next to the windows are the door which leads into the kitchen, being 6 feet, 2 inches high by 2 feet, ten inches wide; like the front door it is also tongue and groove construction, although at a 45 degree angle. A wooden porch with three steps leads up to the door, and measures four feet, six inches wide. On the other side of the door are a sequence of five windows looking into the art studio. Each window is ten inches high by eight inches wide, and are horizontal three-over-three sash. The southeast side of the structure has door entering the art studio. There are three horizontal three-over-three sash windows which look into the original room of the cabin.</p><br>
<h2>In popular culture</h2><br>
<p>The cabin served as the backdrop for Schultz&#39;s 1920 story, In the Great Apache Forest; The Story of a Lone Boy Scout, about a local brother and sister, the teenagers George and Hannah Crosby. The book gained international fame, especially in Europe.</p><br>
<p>The poet Henry Herbert Knibbs wrote a poem entitled "Apuni Oyis", which was included in his book, Riders of the Stars: A Book of Western Verse. The poem is a tribute to James Willard Schultz, and starts off, "There&#39;s a lodge in Arizona where the rugged pines are marching / Straight and stalwart up the hillside till they gather on the crest, / And around their feet the grasses and the purple flowers are arching / In the dim and golden glamour of the sunlight in the West."</p><br>

<p>The Wheelock Common Historic District encompasses the traditional town center of the small northeastern Vermont community of Wheelock. Located at the junction of Vermont Route 122 and Sutton Road, it includes the town common, town hall, and cemetery. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The village center of the town of Wheelock is located in its northeastern corner, stretching along Vermont Route 122 south of the Millers Run river. At the eastern end of the linear village, Sutton Road (Town Highway 17) branches northeast, while Route 122 bends more southeast to follow the river. The town common is a quarter-acre grassy area on the east side of this junction; it is a roughly semicircular area bounded on the south by Route 122 and the north by the drive providing access to the town hall. It is shaded by pine trees, and has two benches, a bandstand, and the towns 1915 memorial to its American Civil War participants. Across Route 122 from the common is the cemetery, about 3/4 acre in size, also shaded by pine trees. The earliest dated grave is from 1827, although two people who died earlier have since been reinterred there. The town hall stands north of the common; it is a 1-1/2 story Greek Revival gable-roofed building with a square belfry.</p><br>
<p>The town of Wheelock was chartered in 1785 as a land grant to Dartmouth College and the Moor&#39;s Indian Charity School, both founded by Eleazer Wheelock, for whom the town is named. The town was managed for many years as a tenancy by Dartmouth, a relationship that did not fully end until the 1970s, when the college divested itself of all remaining land in the town. Its original town hall was located in the Wheelock Hollow area in the south of the town, but the cemetery was established in the village by 1827, and formally deeded to the town in 1860. The move to build a new town hall in the village in 1871 was spurred at least in part by an attempt to develop local mineral springs as a tourist draw. The Baptist church was moved to stand next to it in 1880, and a schoolhouse was also located facing the common. Both of these buildings were demolished in the 20th century due to deteriorating condition. The town hall, also deteriorating, was moved onto a new foundation in the 1970s, providing space for the town offices in the basement.</p><br>
<p>The Whitehill House is a historic house on Groton-Peacham Road in Ryegate, Vermont. Built in 1808, it is the oldest surviving building in Ryegate, and a distinctive example of stonework by Scottish immigrants. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Whitehill House stands in a rural area of northwestern Ryegate, set back about 450 ft on the west side of the Groton-Peacham Road. Its main block is 1-1/2 stories in height, with a broad gabled roof oriented with the gable to the street and the main facade to the south. A wood-frame ell extends north from the northeast corner, and a barn extends west from the southwest corner. The main block is built out of roughly coursed granite, with wood-frame gables above. The main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance. The interior follows a typical center hall plan, but has little of its original finishes. A massive stone chimney is located at the western end.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1808 by James Whitehill, an immigrant from Inchinnan, Renfrewshire, who arrived in Ryegate in 1798. Whitehill was one of a large number of Scottish immigrants to the region, and was one of the founders of the local Presbyterian church. The house remained in the hands of descendants of Whitehill until 1928, when it was transferred to a family association.</p><br>
<p>The Leroy Anderson House is a historic house at 33 Grassy Hill Road in Woodbury, Connecticut. It is a Mid-Century Modern house, built in 1953 for the noted American composer Leroy Anderson and his wife Eleanor. It is now owned by the Leroy Anderson Foundation, and is occasionally opened to the public for tours. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Anderson House is located in a rural setting, on 27 acre of land west of Woodburys village center. It is set on the south side of Grassy Hill Road, just west of its crossing of Good Hill Brook. The property includes a network of walking trails. The house is one story in height, built out of stone and wood, with expansive use of glass. The interior of the house retains some of the Andersons furnishings, include Leroy Anderon&#39;s grand piano.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1953 to a design by Joseph Stein, an architect based in Waterbury. The Andersons had first summered in Woodbury, where Eleanor Anderson grew up, in 1946, where Anderson wrote one of his most famous works, Sleigh Ride, during a summer heat wave. They settled in the town in 1948, and built this house five years later. It was here that they raised four children, and where Anderson composed some of his best-known works. The property has been managed since Anderson&#39;s death by a foundation established to propagate his legacy.</p><br>
<p>The Clare Downtown Historic District is a collection of 51 buildings located along four blocks of North McEwan Street in Clare, Michigan, along with adjacent portions of East and West Fourth Street and East and West Fifth Street. Street addresses of the structures run from 307 to 622 North McEwan, 114-120 East Fifth Street, 102-202 West Fifth Street, 112-115 East Fourth Street, and 112-124 West Fourth Street. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1864, Bay City lumberman William McEwan purchased the acreage around the area that is now downtown Clare. In 1868, he established a logging camp just south of what is now the city, and began clearing timber. In 1870, the Flint and Pere Marquette Railroad extended their tracks through the area, crossing what was then known as the Isabella-Tobacco River State Road near McEwan&#39;s lumber camp. McEwen took this opportunity to plat out a city near the crossing, and by the end of 1870, a small collection of buildings had been erected in Clare, including boarding houses, a store, and a few private houses.</p><br>
<p>The commercial district grew rapidly in the 1870s. In 1878, Clare had 700 residents, over 30 commercial establishments, two churches, and more industrial employers. In 1881, an opera house opened, and in 1885 the first brick building in the city was constructed. Public water mains and telephone lines were soon installed, and bu 1891 there were nearly 1200 residents in Clare, and it was incorporated as a city. Electrical service was introduced in 1894, and a number of important commercial brick structures were built in the downtown in the 1890s, culminating in Clares largest commercial building, Alfred Dohertys no longer extant six-storefront on McEwen.</p><br>
<p>In the early 1900s, two significant fires in 1904 and 1907 destroyed a number of buildings in the downtown area, most constructed of wood. However, the buildings were quickly replaced, and from that point on, all further construction was of brick. Additional smaller fires occurred throughout the rest of the 20th century, resulting in a steady trickle of new construction of individual buildings from the 1920s through until the 1990s. Further construction occurred in the 1930s along West Fifth Street, following the construction of the Clare City Hall Building. The downtown as a whole prospered until the 1960s, when the freeway bypassed the city. However, despite economic struggles, the downtown are has retained a substantial amount of business activity.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Clare Downtown Historic District is located in the commercial center of the city, along four blocks of North McEwan Street with adjacent portions of East and West Fourth and Fifth Streets. There are 51 buildings in the district, along with two additional structures and two other sites. Construction dates of the buildings range from 1873 to 2000; most are two stories, but heights range from one to four stories. The buildings are predominantly Neoclassical and Commercial Brick, with some Late Victorian, Mid-century modern, and later 20th century architectural styles.</p><br>
<p>The southernmost portion of the district, on McEwen just south of the railroad tracks, includes a large elevator building. North of this, the heart of the district runs along McEwen between Third Street (where the railroad also crosses McEwen) and Sixth Street. The buildings along these three blocks are nearly all one- and two-story commercial buildings, standing side-by-side and fronting directly on the sidewalk. On the corner of McEwen and Fifth stands the Doherty Hotel, built in 1924, and the only four-story structure in the district. The original Doherty Hotel, along with its associated parking lot and modern addition, occupies the entire city block between Fifth and Sixth and between McEwen and Pine. North of the district, along McEwen, sits a large modern hospital complex.</p><br>
<p>The district extends in both directions along Fifth Street. To the east, it includes the 1882 Herrick House, and upright-and-wing house now converted to commercial purposes. To the west, the district extends to encompass the US Post Office, Clare City Hall, and Clare Congregational Church (the last being independently listed in the National Register). The district also extends west along Fourth Street to encompass a group of commercial buildings.</p><br>
<p>The Whittier House is a historic house on Greenbanks Hollow Road in Danville, Vermont. Built in 1785, it is significant as one of the town&#39;s oldest surviving buildings, and as an example of a gambrel-roofed Cape, a style rare in northern Vermont but common to Essex County, Massachusetts, where its builder was from. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Whittier House stands in a rural area of southern Danville, on the west side of Greenbanks Hollow Road a short way north of the Greenbanks Hollow Covered Bridge. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, with a gambrel roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is five bays wide, with plain cornerboards and a narrow frieze. The center entrance has a Georgian surround, with sidelight windows and pilasters beneath a corniced entablature. The interior retains many features original to its period of construction, although its original large central chimney was replaced early in the 19th century. It follows a typical Georgian central chimney plan, with a narrow entry vestibule with winding stair, and parlor spaces on either side. These are noteworthy for the Georgian paneling on the end walls. At the time of its National Register listing in 1984, it lacked all modern amenities, including plumbing and electricity.</p><br>
<p>David Whittier, the builder of this house, was one of the first settlers of Danville, who was granted 200 acre in 1786. Whittier was from Methuen, Massachusetts, and likely styled this house after a form common to northeastern Massachusetts from the late 17th to mid-18th century. The gambrel roof form gave the upper level additional space, and conveyed a sense prosperity amid more conventionally built gabled Capes that were more common in northern Vermont. Greenbanks Hollow, where he built, was for some years a small thriving community, with a sawmill and gristmill. The mills burned in the late 19th century, leaving little more than foundations nearby.</p><br>
<p>The Jabez Bacon House is a historic house on Hollow Road in Woodbury, Connecticut. Built in 1760 for a prominent regional merchant, it is a well-preserved example of Georgian architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Jabez Bacon House stands near the southern end of Woodbury&#39;s main village, on the north side of Hollow Road between Sycamore and Main Streets. It is a 2-3/4 story wood frame structure, with a dormered gambrel roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. It is five bays wide, with a slightly overhanging second story. The front entry is centered, with a reproduction surround consisting of flanking pilasters and a pedimented gable above. The three roof dormers also exhibit full pediments. The interior of the house follows a typical Georgian central chimney plan, but has a wider than usual entry vestibule with staircase. The interior retains original paneled wall finishes, and many rooms have original flooring. The living room includes a period cabinet, and the chimney includes two surviving period ovens.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1760 by Roswell Moore, a prominent local carpenter. He built it for Jabez Bacon, a merchant and banker who operated a store next door, and sent traders as far west as present-day Ohio. It was later acquired by Daniel Curtiss, who also operated a merchant business. Curtiss notably trained as a salesman Collis Potter Huntington, who later became prominent for his role in construction of the transcontinental railway.</p><br>
<p>Basalt Rocks  are volcanic rock outcrops in the form of columnar basalt located in Sinop Province, northern Turkey. The area is a registered natural monument of the country.</p><br>
<p>It is 20 km away from the center of Boyabat in Sinop Province, and situated in Fındıklık location nearbay Kurusaray village.</p><br>
<p>The basalt columns were formed about 3-5 million years ago according to research carried out by geologists from Mineral Research and Exploration Co. (MTA) and Dokuz Eylül University.</p><br>
<p>The basalt formations are situated in three neighboring valleys. The vertically-jointed basalt columns are in polygonal form as rectangular, pentagonal and hexagonal prisms, and are 30 - high. It covers an area of 10.249 hectare.</p><br>
<p>The formation, structure, and the outlook of the basalt rocks are rare examples in the world. It was declared a protected area of first grade on March 8, 1996 due to its geological and touristic importance. On September 17, 2007, the local administration applied to the Ministry of Forest and Water Management for acknowledgement as a natural monument. The area was registered a natural monument in 2011.</p><br>
<p>Corinth Depot, also known as the Southern/GM&O Depot and now known as Corinth Crossroads Museum, was constructed circa 1917, and is located at 221 North Fillmore Street, in Corinth, Mississippi. The depot is a contributing property to the Downtown Corinth Historic District, which was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. In 1995, the depot was designated a Mississippi Landmark.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1857, a parcel of land in Corinth was dedicated for construction of a depot where two railroads (the Memphis & Charleston and the Mobile & Ohio) intersected. Because of this railroad junction, control of Corinth was of strategic importance during the American Civil War.</p><br>
<p>The present structure is the third depot to be constructed on the site. The depot is a one-story, wood frame building with a V-shaped floor plan, designed to accommodate the intersection of the two railways. The exterior walls have stucco veneer with brick wainscot. The two railways had separate brick portico entrances into the depot. Passengers, that arrived for departure, entered the depot on the opposite side of the building, in the crook of the V.</p><br>
<p>The depot received its greatest usage during the 1930s and 1940s, when it served dozens of passenger trains. In 2007, the depot became the home for the Corinth Crossroads Museum with displays of civil war artifacts, historic photographs, industrial items, and railroad souvenirs.</p><br>

<p>The Thomas Driver and Sons Manufacturing Company is a complex of two historic factory buildings in downtown Racine, Wisconsin. The Thomas Driver and Sons manufacturing company itself was a manufacturer of sash windows and doors that was first established in 1867. The buildings, located at 134 South Main Street and 214 State Street, are on opposite sides of Second Street. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 14, 2004.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Thomas Driver immigrated to Racine from Orkney in 1854. Driver first established his manufacturing business in Racine in 1867. He purchased the factory owned by the architect Lucas Bradley, at which he had previously worked. This factory had existed at Sixth and Campbell (now Grand Avenue) Streets since the 1840s, but burned down on January 17, 1870. The first building on the present site was built at State Street shortly after the fire. The currently surviving warehouse north of Second Street was built in 1882. The original 1870 building was struck by fire in 1896, and it was rebuilt in its present form within the year. Thomas Driver died in 1899, and the operations of his company were taken over by his son, Sinclair, who ran the business until it closed in 1917.</p><br>
<p>After the Driver company closed, the buildings were sold to Western Publishing. The Main Street building was occupied by an auto supply store for much of the 20th century until its closure in the 1980s. The idea of converting the vacant building to hold dozens of apartments was first proposed in 1990, and Belle Harbor Lofts opened in the building in 2002. Today, the State Street building houses a print shop that opened in 1989, and a liquor store that opened in 2014.</p><br>
<p>West Eleventh Street Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Dubuque, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. This district is a residential area on top of the bluff above the Jackson Park Historic District, which is in the river valley below. Its name comes from its historical association with the former West Eleventh Street Elevator, a funicular that was similar to the Fenelon Place Elevator to the south. For the most part the historic buildings here are single-family residences with their attendant out-buildings, although the number of out-buildings located here is relatively low. There is one apartment building and 46 duplexes. Some of the single-family houses were converted into multi-family residences, and then some of those were converted back. The various Victorian styles are found along the bluff fronts on the eastern and southern edge of the district, and vernacular structures on the northern and western sections. The Charles T. Hancock House  was individually listed on the National Register. Given the steep bluffs in the district the historic structures are retaining walls and steps that replace the sidewalks.</p><br>

<p>The Amos Baldwin House is a historic house at 92 Goshen Street East in Norfolk, Connecticut. Built about 1765, it is an important surviving example of colonial architecture in the community, and is one of its oldest buildings with a gambrel roof. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Amos Baldwin House stands in a rural area of southern Norfolk, on the west side of Goshen Street East. It is a 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gambrel roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. The front facade is five bays wide, with paired sash windows on either side of the main entrance, which is topped by a four-light transom window. There are three shed-roof dormered windows in the steep flank of the roof. A single-story gabled ell extends to the rear of the main block. The interior follows a typical central chimney plan, although the traditional winding stair in the front vestibule has been replaced by a closet. A number of early features survive on the interior, including Federal period fireplace paneling and the original kitchen fireplace.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1765, and is one of the oldest surviving buildings in Norfolk, which was first settled in the mid-18th century. It was probably built by Captain John Watson, who owned the land between 1763 and 1774. Amos Baldwin, probably its best-known owner, was a farmer and local politician in the first half of the 19th century. In 1928 it was purchased by Richard Leach, who briefly operated the private Norfolk School here; opened in 1937, it operated on this site from 1940 until it closed in 1943. The school, modeled on the nearby Kent School, was a college prepartory boarding school serving boys in grades eight through twelve. The rear ell of the house was adapted by the school as a dormitory space.</p><br>
<p>The Floating islands of Bingöl are mass of floating aquatic plants in the form of islands on a lake in Bingöl Province, eastern Turkey. The formation is a registered natural monument of the country.</p><br>
<p>Lake Aksakal, which contains the floating islands, is a crater lake located in Hazarşah village of Solhan district in Bingöl Province. It is 4.5 km far from the Bingöl-Muş highway. The lake is situated on a flat terrain surrounded on three sides by mountains and hills. The lake has freshwater. The water level of the lake remains same in the winter and summer months due to continuous inflow. There are three independently and freely moving floating islands on the lake. The floating island can be moved very slowly like a raft to any direction by standing on and stepping down on one side. There are 4-5 shrubs and ash trees on the floating islands. The soil on the floating islands is completely cohere with the prehensile roots of the vegetation. The vegetation consists of meadow grass, couch grass, and diverse aquatic plants. The area covers an area of 38.400 hectare.</p><br>
<p>The formation was registered a natural monument in 2003.</p><br>
<p>Washington Residential Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Dubuque, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015. This is one of the early residential areas of Dubuque, and was home to its German community. It also defines the "walkable city" with commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings located here. There are a number of churches in the district from various denominations. Of particular interest are St. Marys Catholic Church , St. Johns Lutheran Church , and St. Matthews Lutheran Church . A significant number of the buildings were constructed in brick, and the vast majority of the buildings in the district were built by 1891. Vernacular structures are commonplace here, as are various Victorian styles. Hollenfelz House  and the Dubuque Casket Company building  are individually listed on the National Register. The former St. Marys Catholic Church complex forms its own historic district within this one.</p><br>
<p>Washington Street and East 22nd Street Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Dubuque, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015. The focus of this district is a cluster of brick buildings around the intersection of Washington and East 22nd Streets on the north side of Dubuque. Its location west of the former Chicago Great Western Railway and the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad yards led to a large percentage of the residents here to be higher ranking railroad employees. The historic buildings are brick and frame houses, with the exception of one brick storefront/residence. Most of the houses are front or side gabled vernacular structures, and a few that are Italianate or Classical Revival. Couler Creek, which was located behind the houses on the east side of Washington Street, also affected the development of this area. There is no alley behind the houses on the east side of Washington. Flooding was also a major problem in this area until the creek was covered in a stone-arched sewer and continues to flow under ground.</p><br>
<p>Upper Main Street Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Dubuque, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. In 2011 the boundaries of the district were expanded to include four additional buildings on the west side of the 900 block of Main Street. The district is the northern end of the citys most important commercial street. It is situated on a level terrace above the downtown area, located to the east. The buildings located on the east side of Main Street have exposed foundations along the alley because the grade descends in that direction. For the most part the district is made up of commercial buildings, although there is one house, four rowhouses, and a church. All of the buildings are masonry construction, and they are between one and four stories tall. The bell tower of St. Lukes United Methodist Church  is equivalent to an eight story building. St. Luke&#39;s Church and the Interstate Power Company Building  are individually listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>Cashlaungar , also Cashlaungarr, Cashlaun Gar or Cashlán Gar, is a stone ringfort  and National Monument located in The Burren, a region in County Clare, Ireland.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Cashlaungar is located in the centre of The Burren, 2.7 km (1.8 miles) south of Carran, overlooking the Kilnaboy–Carran road to the west. It lies at an elevation of116 m.</p><br>
<p>It is located in the townland of Tullycommon, parish of Kilnaboy, not far from the larger ringfort Cahercommaun and Tullycommon Wedge Tomb.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The townland of Tullycommon is probably the Tuluauch-comyn held by (King Torlough) OBrien in 1298 as given in the Pipe rolls. Through it in 1317 the army of Diarmait OBrien reportedly marched on his way to Corcomroe Abbey, "along the fortress-begirt tracks" between Leana and Crughwill.</p><br>
<p>Hugh Roe ODonnells troops plundered it in their great raid into Thomond in 1599.</p><br>
<p>Excavation unearthed middens, deer and ox bones.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>This cashel is a stone fort situated on the top of a steep-sided rocky outcrop.</p><br>
<p>When antiquarian Thomas Johnson Westropp visited it in the 1910s, the ramparts of the ringfort were preserved in three places and built of long worked blocks. They reached their greatest height in the northeast at 4 m (13 ft) and a thickness of 2.7 to 3.0 m (9–10 ft). The gate opened to the edge of a steep 10 m high slope. At the foot of the slope were rock fragments, probably the broken lintels of the gatehouse. The fort measures internally about 40 m from north to south and 23 m from west to east. The gate was 3 m above ground level and was probably reached by ladder.</p><br>
<p>The ruins of four round huts and one beehive hut were found on Cashlaungar.</p><br>
<p>The Captain Philo Beardley House is a historic house on Beardsley Road in Kent, Connecticut. Built about 1780, it is a well-preserved example of an 18th-century saltbox, with a remarkably well-preserved interior. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Beardsley House stands in rural southeastern Kent, on the west side of Beardsley Road south of Kent Hollow Road. It is set back from the road, among fields, with an associated barn across the road to the east. The house is 2-1/2 stories in height, with a side gable roof, large central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. The roof extends down to the first floor in the rear, giving the house a classic New England saltbox profile. The rear leanto section is an integral part of the houses original construction, and not a later addition. However, the leantos rear wall is plank-framed, unlike the rest of the house, which is framed in timber. The main facade is five bays wide, with a central entrance, with a simply framed surround and a six-light transom window. The interior follows a central chimney plan, and retains many original features, including oak floorboards, paneling in the main parlor, and an unusual folding table in the original kitchen space. Doors retain original hardware latches.</p><br>
<p>The land on which the house stands is part of a 100 acre parcel purchased by Josiah Beardsley in the 1770s and given to his son Philo in 1781, with the house then standing. The Beardleys were farmers; Philo was also a captain in the local militia, and had sons who served in the state legislature. The main block of the house has generally avoided modernization on the part of its owners; its modern facilities are located in an ell.</p><br>
<p>Großer Inselsberg is a mountain in the Thuringian Forest with a height of 916.5 m above sea level, located on Rennsteig in the districts of Gotha and Schmalkalden-Meiningen. It is the fourth-highest distinct mountain of Thuringia, after Großer Beerberg , Schneekopf  and Großer Finsterberg  and forms a landmark that can be viewed in particular from northern and western directions.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The summit of Großer Inselsberg is located about 3.2 km NNE of Brotterode and 4 km southwest of Bad Tabarz. It forms a narrow, arched plateau of about 700 m length. The steep slopes are marked by deep dents and spurs formed by weathering.</p><br>
<p>The summit has a dominance radius of 27.3 km extending to Sommerbachskopf (941.5 m a.s.l.) and a prominence of 228 m relative to the saddle at Heuberghaus.</p><br>
<p>With the exception of the buildings, the summit region of Großer Inselsberg has been a nature reserve since 30 March 1961.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Großer Inselsberg is a rhyolitic butte that has withstood the weathering of the surrounding softer rock layers. The near-surface rocks of the summit region belong to the lower vulcanites of the Oberhof sequence in the lower Rotliegend and crop out in Reitsteine, a steep escarpment southeast of the summit. They are embedded in the conglomerates, sandstones and siltstones of the Goldlauter sequence to the north and the grainy gneiss of Cambrian origin to the south. An abrupt transition between the Inselsberg rhyolite and the gneiss can be observed along the west–east Inselsberg fault.</p><br>
<h2>Flora</h2><br>
<p>The potential natural vegetation of the mountain is a beech forest, on the northern slope with an undergrowth of heath bedstraw, on the sunny southern side with woodrush. Some near-natural beech forests are preserved on the southern and thenortheastern slope. The common spruce has been introduced through silviculture. The once indigenous silver fir has disappeared. Other naturally occurring tree species include sycamore, Norway maple, ash, elm, sessile oak, pedunculate oak, silver birch, alder, larch, goat willow, and wild cherry.</p><br>
<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>The name is popularly ascribed to the solitary aspect of Großer Inselsberg and is said to be derived from German einzeln ("solitary") or Insel (Island), but is probably derived from a stream called Emse or in the Middle Ages Enze which has its source on the northwestern slope of the mountain.</p><br>
<h2>Tourism</h2><br>
<p>The mountain is one of the best known excursion destinations in Thuringia. Its summit is crossed by the traditional mountain path Rennsteig, whose route is shared here by the European long-distance hiking path E3 and the international mountain hiking path Eisenach–Budapest (EB). A road facilitating access to the summit brances off the state road 1024 between Brotterode and Tabarz, and parking spaces are provided. A youth hostel, a restaurant and an outlook tower serve tourists.</p><br>
<p>Lake Atna  was a prehistoric proglacial lake that initially formed approximately 58 ka  in the Copper River Basin, an area roughly centered around 245 km northeast of modern-day Anchorage, Alaska. The lake formed and dispersed during the Wisconsin glaciation. The lake existed in several forms, with several prominent shorelines observable in modern geology. At its greatest extent, the lake surface area was approximately half the size of modern-day Lake Ontario, and possibly much larger. One such flood may have contributed to the destruction caused by the 1964 Alaska earthquake.</p><br>
<h2>Discovery</h2><br>
<p>In 1898, Frank Charles Schrader undertook a study of the Copper River Basin for the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Based on sedimentary evidence, he concluded a possibility of a large body of standing water being responsible for the deposits. This could have been an arm of the sea. In 1901, with A. C. Spencer, he concluded these deposits were only in limited areas, disagreeing with his earlier conclusion. This conclusion was supported by Walter Curran Mendenhall in 1905, who had studied the Pleistocene deposits in the central region of the basin. In 1954, Fred Howard Moffit noted that topographic conditions were favorable for the possibility of a large lake, but that specific evidence was lacking at that time. In 1957, geologists Oscar J. Ferrians and H.R. Schmoll concluded the basin had been resident to a large proglacial lake during the Wisconsin glaciation. The lake was named Lake Atna by geologist D. J. Nichols of the USGS in 1965.</p><br>
<h2>Geological history</h2><br>
<p>During the Miocene Epoch, the region saw significant tectonic uplift through which the ancestral Copper River maintained its course. Sometime before 40 ka, the basin was free of water and ice, and covered in spruce forest. During the Wisconsin glaciation, a multitude of glaciers extended into and blocked drainage exits from the Copper River Basin. The lake formed at least as early as 58 ka</p><br>
<p>The highest surface level the lake achieved was 975 m, based on sedimentation in the northwestern area of the basin. Multiple strand lines exist in the basin indicating sustained lake levels at a maximum of 914 m above modern sea level</p><br>
<p>During its early formation, the lake likely had no permanent outlet. The damming glaciers that created the lake became large enough that the lake was endorheic, though it may have periodically topped its glacial dams. The final draining and disappearance of the lake likely happened no later than approximately 9.4 ka through the Copper River Valley.</p><br>
<p>Isostatic rebound effects of departing ice sheets and the draining of Lake Atna from the basin remain uncertain, as detailed study of the shorelines in the basin has not been conducted.</p><br>
<p>In 2006, John Jangala, an archaeologist with the Bureau of Land Management indicated that Lake Atna may have been a remnant of an earlier lake called Lake Susitna. This was contradicted by Michael Wiedmer in 2011 who stated that no evidence exists for an independent Lake Susitna. The detailed history of the lake and its extent over time remain uncertain, as further investigation is required.</p><br>
<h3>Megaflood history</h3><br>
<p>In 2005, Michael Wiedmer, then a biologist at the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, was shown the carcass of a pygmy whitefish which had been collected from Lake George. This lake sits near the face of Knik Glacier, some distance from the Copper River Basin area. Pygmy whitefish are known to exist in remnant lakes of Lake Atna. This offered a clue as to a water connection that may have existed at some time in the past between Lake Atna and Lake George. Wiedmer also observed the presence of large, symmetrical hills in the Matanuska Valley, possibly of fluvial origin. This led Wiedmer to investigate the possibility of a megaflood down the valley from ancient Lake Atna.</p><br>
<p>Wiedmers resulting research was published in a 2010 paper titled "Late Quaternary megafloods from Glacial Lake Atna, Southcentral Alaska, USA", with co-authors from the Quaternary Research Center at the University of Washington. Wiedmers research suggested the possibility of Lake Atna being a serial generator of megafloods from glacial dam failures. One such possible flood originated from a catastrophic failure of a glacial dam 61 m in height at Tahneta Pass, located at the eastern end of Matanuska Valley. Wiedmer&#39;s maximum estimates of this flood place its size at a 2.0–3.3 × 10ms (2.0–3.3 million cubic meters per second) discharge rate. The velocity estimates of this flood range from a minimum of 13 m/s to 57 m/s. The flood released a maximum of 1,400 km3 of water into Wasilla region over the span of a week. The intensity of the release was such that it created dunes 34 m in height, with crests of the dunes 0.8 km and more apart. The dunes still exist today.</p><br>
<p>Other glacial dam outbursts may have occurred down the Susitna River, through Mentasta Pass into the Tok River, and down the Copper River itself. The Susitna River outburst may have been responsible for a flood three to four times more intense than the Tahneta Pass outburst, at a 7.0–11.3 × 10ms discharge rate. This flood may have discharged nearly twice as much water as the Tahneta Pass outburst. The postulated glacial dam height for this flood was 346 m.</p><br>
<h2>Remnants and effects</h2><br>
<p>Diamicton, glacial, glaciolacustrine, and lacustrine origin deposits exist in many areas of the Copper River Basin. All major rivers present today occupy narrow valleys that have cut up to 137 m into the bottom of the basin. Lacustrine sediments of the lake are visible in many river bluffs throughout the basin. Several extant lakes in the basin are remnants of the lake, including Tazlina Lake, Klutina Lake, and Tonsina Lake. Much of the unconsolidated fill of the basin is in permafrost, down to a maximum depth of 75 m in the central basin area. The postulated Matanuska Valley flood produced by Lake Atna 17,000 years ago may have been responsible for the deposition of a thin stratum of clay and silt grains in the Anchorage area. The collapse of this stratum caused catastrophic landslides in the Anchorage area during the 1964 Alaska earthquake contributing to the collapse of structures built above it.</p><br>
<p>The Cartecay Methodist Church and Cemetery, in Gilmer County, Georgia, near Ellijay, Georgia was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<p>The Cartecay Methodist Church was organized in 1834. The listed church building was built upon two acres of land that were donated by Barnett Wilson in 1859. The church, built c.1859, is a frame structure with mortise-and-tenon construction, made of hand-hewn virgin pine. About 60 years later, a local craftsman and congregation member named Frank B. Haigler added an unusual faux bois finish to all interior surfaces other than the floor. The building was expanded by two Sunday school rooms added after World War II.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery is "laid out in a fairly regular gridiron pattern with a variety of modest stone grave markers and minimal landscaping."</p><br>
<p>The modern Cartecay United Methodist Church, whose address is 7629 Highway 52 East, in Ellijay, has a new building behind the historic one.</p><br>
<p>Franklin Junior High School is a historic former school building in Brainerd, Minnesota, United States. The core sections were built in 1932 and extensions were added on in 1954 and 1962. The school closed in 2005. In 2008 the building reopened as the Franklin Arts Center, which leases residential, work, and commercial space to local artists.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009 for having local significance in the theme of architecture. It was nominated for reflecting the research-based national standards for middle school design as they evolved through the first half of the 20th century. Novel, early-century features apparent in the original section include large windows for maximum sunlight, an auditorium and gymnasium designed to accommodate large community events, and rooms for specialized instruction in music, science, and vocational training. The later sections show new preferences adopted after World War II, most noticeably smaller classroom windows and a reliance on artificial lighting.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The historic core of Franklin Junior High School, built in 1932, resembles a stubby arrow. The two classroom wings meet at a right angle with a prominent, angled-off main entry facing southwest. Extending at a 45-degree angle to the northeast is a third wing containing the auditorium and gymnasium. New additions in 1954 extended all three wings, particularly the two classroom wings. A further expansion in 1962 extended the north wing, bringing the school&#39;s total floorspace from 90,000 ft&sup2; in its original configuration to about 150,000 ft&sup2;.</p><br>
<p>The building has a brick and reinforced concrete structure. The exterior is dark red-brown brick with trim of smooth limestone quarried near Mankato, Minnesota. A belt course of stone trim extends continuously just under the ground floor windows. The second-floor windows have stone lintels.</p><br>
<p>The buildings primary façade is the southwest corner, which is angled at 45 degrees. The main entrance is set into a stone entryway featuring a segmental arch topped by a parapet and flanked by a pair of tall piers each sporting a bronze lantern. Large windows on the second floor are topped by a series of stone lancet arches supported by stone corbels. The roofline is defined by a brick parapet which sports a medallion of pattened bricks in the very center. Projecting stone bay windows define the façades ground floor corners.</p><br>
<p>The 1954 additions use brick and stone similar to the original section. An entry door in the middle of the west and south façades indicates the corners of the original construction. A recessed bay on the west façade with another entry door defines the start of the 1962 addition.</p><br>
<h2>Interior</h2><br>
<p>The front entrance leads into a ground level foyer with administrative offices to the side and stairs to the second floor. Beyond the foyer, where the buildings three wings come together, is the schools 500-seat auditorium. The north and east wings contain classrooms on either side of central halls. The northeast wing extends behind the auditorium stage and contains a gymnasium as well as a basement-level cafeteria and boiler room. Directly over the main entrance, on the second floor, was the school library. The ground floor of one classroom wing housed industrial arts workshops for boys while the other offered home economics classes for girls. The gymnasium was also originally divided in two for sex-segregated instruction.</p><br>
<p>Although the architectural style of the school&#39;s exterior is Collegiate Gothic, the interior has simple details in the Streamline Moderne mode popular in the early 1930s. The foyer is tiled, while there were terrazzo floors in the hallways and maple wood flooring in the classrooms and gym. The terrazzo continues in the hallways of the later additions, but the walls are covered in ceramic tile and the classrooms are floored with vinyl tile.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Education experts began promoting separate middle schools in the early 20th century as they began recognizing seventh and eighth grade as an important transitional period. Previously these grades were included in primary school but tended to be too focused on review of previously taught material and left students ill-prepared for the high school environment, leading to a high drop-out rate. When Brainerd&#39;s high school building was destroyed by fire in 1928, the city took the opportunity to propose building a middle school in addition to a new high school. Voters approved both projects when they appeared on the ballot.</p><br>
<p>By the time the two contracts went up for bid, the Great Depression had set in and construction work was scarce (federal New Deal funding for building projects would not appear for another few years). 14 architectural firms competed for Brainerd&#39;s two school bids, and the commission went to Croft & Boerner of Minneapolis. Concerned about losing jobs to outsiders, a delegation of local craftsmen lobbied the Board of Education for the construction labor to be drawn from Brainerd residents.</p><br>
<p>Croft and Boerners design drew on the established best practices for American junior high schools. These favored H-, I-, or L-shaped layouts and flat roofs, fireproofing, large windows for natural light in classrooms, good air circulation, a well-stocked library, science laboratories, and specialized rooms for music, industrial, and vocational training. Auditoriums and gyms were often planned to serve the larger community as public event spaces. Croft and Boerners design included an auditorium stage that could be opened up to the gymnasium behind it for additional seating.</p><br>
<p>A growing student population led to expansion of the school in 1954. The design, by Minneapolis architect Hubert Swanson, once again reflected the latest standards, which had evolved since the 1930s. Most notable is a reversal in opinions about windows, driven in part by improvements in artificial lighting. Where maximum sunlight and air circulation had once been deemed essential, fluorescent lighting was now considered prefereable and large windows a distraction. An increased emphasis on physical education prompted an expansion of the gymnasium and improvements to the sports field northeast of the school.</p><br>
<p>A further addition to the north wing was designed by the Brainerd-based firm of Stengen, Hendrickson, and McNutt in 1962.</p><br>
<h2>Adaptive reuse</h2><br>
<p>By the 2000s Franklin Junior High School was getting too small again for its student body, but the state funds that had previously helped the city expand the existing building had been eliminated. Brainerd was obliged to build a new junior high, and Franklin closed in 2005. Hoping to find an adaptive reuse for Franklin, the school district contacted Artspace Projects, Inc, a national non-profit organization specializing in converting older buildings into art centers. Artspace formally purchased the building in 2008 and completed renovations later that year.</p><br>
<p>Now known as the Franklin Arts Center, the building leases space to arts organizations and rents out residential and work studios to artists. The school district retains access to the auditorium, gymnasium, and athletic field for sports programs and community events. To preserve the building&#39;s historic feel, state rules forbid major alterations to the exterior or the hallways with their rows of lockers and built-in cabinets.</p><br>
<p>The Mount Pleasant Downtown Historic District is a commercial historic district roughly bounded by Mosher, Franklin, Illinois and Washington Streets in Mount Pleasant, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1860, Mount Pleasant was founded as the county seat of Isabella County. It began as a tiny settlement, and the first store was not opened until 1864. However, it rapidly developed, and within a year had a church, a school, and a newspaper. Over the net ten years, a number of other commercial businesses were opened in what is now the downtown area. In 1875, the community incorporated as a village, and also suffered a devastating fire that destroyed almost the entire downtown. However, new buildings were quickly erected, with brick becoming the material of choice rather than frame construction. Another fire swept the village in 1882, prompting the construction of a fire station.</p><br>
<p>By this time, the commercial district in the city had spread to encompass the block on Broadway between Court and Main (in the heart of current district) and along Main Street between Michigan and the courthouse to the north. Public utilities - water and electricity - were installed in the 1880s, and a number of churches were established. In the downtown area, the Bennett Hotel and Upton Opera House were constructed in the early 1880s. By 1884, there were 2000 residents in Mt. Pleasant, and in 1889 it was incorporated as a city. In 1891, a second hotel with 45 rooms was constructed. More significant commercial buildings were constructed in the downtown area into the 20th century, now almost exclusively of brick.</p><br>
<p>After the turn of the century, the streetscape began to change, as concrete sidewalks and brick-paved streets were installed. Regular lightposts also appeared. When the Great Depression slowed the nation&#39;s economy, the economy of Mt. Pleasant was cushioned considerably due to the discovery of oil fields nearby. The oil boom brought an influx of money into the city in the 1930s, and the prosperity continued through the post-World War II period. In the 1950s, many of the older buildings in the district received mid-century facelifts. Through the rest of the century, the streets and streetscapes were altered, first by paving the streets in asphalt, and later by redirecting traffic flow and redesigning the sidewalk areas. Planters, benches, and historic light posts were also installed.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Mount Pleasant Downtown Historic District is centered on the intersection of Broadway and Main in Mount Pleasant, and encompasses the surrounding eight blocks. The district contains 70 buildings dating from the 1870s to the 1950s. The building are set close to each other and the sidewalk, and are primarily brick commercial structures of one or two stories (with a few three-story buildings). As buildings were demolished due to fire damage or other reasons, newer structures were built to replace them, resulting in a mingling of various styles throughout the district. Buildings are primarily Italianate and Commercial brick, with some other Late Victorian, Art Deco, and International Style structures mixed in.</p><br>
<p>The earliest buildings in the district are Italianate structures constructed immediately after the 1875 fire. However, many of these which are still extant, such as the Doughty and Carr and Granger Blocks (100-108 East Broadway), and the Upton Opera House/Isabella County State Bank (200 East Broadway) have had their architectural features obscured by later additions or refurbishments of the facade. However, the oldest building in the district, the 1877 Fancher Block (101-103 E. Broadway) is still architecturally significant, as are the 1879 building at 130 S. Main and the stretch of buildings from 205 to 217 South Main.</p><br>
<p>Other significant Late Victorian structures, built near the turn of the century, are the Chatterton Block at 118 East Broadway, the Thompson and Dusenbury blocks at 111-119 East Broadway, and the Foster Furniture Company at 102-106 South Main. These structures tend to be more Classical in detail, and include larger plate glass windows on the first floor. As the 1910s and 1920s approached, buildings were constructed more in the Commercial Brick style, and a number of buildings throughout the district are built in this style. Mt. Pleasant also has two significant Art Deco buildings, both of which are theaters: the 1920 Broadway Theater on East Broadway, which features a 1930s era projecting Art Deco marquee, and the 1937 Ward Theater on South Main, with a porcelain enamel façade finished in an Art Deco theme.</p><br>
<p>Kocain Cave  is a cave in Antalya Province, southwestern Turkey. It is a registered natural monument.</p><br>
<p>The cave is situated in Killik location of Ahırtaş village at Döşemealtı district of Antalya Province. It was discovered in 1919, and was surveyed by scientists from Ankara University several times after 1946. First exploration in terms of speleology was carried out in cooperation with French speleologists in 1972. The cave is 633 m long and has two large chambers on the main gallery, which has a clearance of 80 m at some places. The cave entrance is about 75 m wide and 20 m high. The cave features monumental stalactites and stalagmites. It is assumed that the cave was used for religious purposes during the early Christianity due to existence of readable inscriptions. Above data is taken from the cave&#39;s information board visible at external link.</p><br>
<p>The cave was registered a natural monument on August 16, 2013. It covers an area of 60.806 hectare.</p><br>

<p>The Francis Benedict Jr. House, or Benedict–Smith House, is a historic house at 85 North Colebrook Road in Norfolk, Connecticut. Built sometime between about 1795 and 1811, it is a high-quality example of late Colonial and early Federal architecture, and a well-preserved surviving example of the town&#39;s early architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Francis Benedict Jr. House stands in a rural area of northeastern Norfolk, on the north side of North Colebrook Road just east of its junction with South Sandisfield Road. It has a west-facing main block, to which ells have been added to the east side. The house is on a ridge overlooking Benedict Pond to the west. The main block is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. The front facade is five bays wide, with sash windows topped by shallow cornices, and the centered entrance framed by wide sidelight windows and topped by a less shallow cornice. There is a three-part window above the entrance. The first ell is a 1-1/2 story Cape style structure which was probably built first. The interior of this spaces follow typical period arrangements, except that the ell and main block were apparently designed to each house a separate family.</p><br>
<p>The land in this area of Norfolk was granted to members of the Benedict family in 1759, in one of the towns early divisions of land amongst its proprietors. The ell of this house was built about 1795 by Francis Benedict Jr., and stood south of his fathers house (no longer extant except for a cellar hole). He built a dam and sawmill on Benedict Pond in 1795, which was a likely event associated with its construction. The main house was probably built around 1811, the year his daughter Wealthea married Erastus Smith. The house was used for some time as a multigenerational home for members of the Smith and Benedict families. The area&#39;s agriculture declined in the late 19th century, with many farms abandoned; this house was by the late 1890s in the hands of summer residents. The house is a distinctive stylistically conservative blend of late Colonial and Federal styles.</p><br>
<p>Science Hill School, originally known as the Science Hill Female Academy was founded on March 25, 1825 by Julia A. Tevis as a female preparatory school. In 1975 the school was placed on the National Register of Historic Places and in 1978, it was opened as a restaurant known as the Science Hill Inn by Donna Gill and Tim Barnes.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>On March 25, 1825, Julia A. Tevis founded the Science Hill Female Academy as a preparatory school for women. It was one of the first schools founded for girls west of the Allegheny Mountains and utilized the Lancastrian system, in which older or more advanced students taught the younger pupils. The school name derived from Tevis&#39; belief that girls were as able to master</p><br>
<p>the sciences as young men. Though she attracted students from throughout the country, the majority of her students were from wealthy Southern families. These aristocrats wanted their daughters to have social polishing and learn French, music and art. Tevis taught these traditional courses, but also taught her students history, math, rhetoric, science, and Latin.</p><br>
<p>In its early days, the school was funded by the Methodist Church, with which Tevis&#39; husband, John, served as a missionary. The initial class had thirty-five pupils, of which six were boarders. Within twenty-five years, the class had grown to two hundred students with half of them boarding at the school. Its reputation was widely known and it had students from throughout the country as well as students who attended as a day school from the local community. A reunion of alumni was held in 1875 with three generations of the thousands of students who had been educated at the school in attendance.</p><br>
<p>Tevis operated the school until 1879, when she sold it to Wiley Taul Poynter, who operated the school as a secondary academy to prepare young women for further education at institutions such as Vassar, Wellesley and other well-known women&#39;s colleges. He and his descendants operated the school until 1939, when it closed due to financial constraints caused by the Great Depression. When it closed, Science Hill Academy had the distinction of being the oldest Protestant female academy in continuous operation in country, as well as in Kentucky.</p><br>
<p>When the school closed, the daughters of Dr. Poynter lived in the home and rented out the dorm rooms as apartments. The buildings were sold in the early 1950s to Mark J. Scearce, who renovated the former chapel as the Wakefield-Scearce Antique Gallery and continued utilizing the dormitories as apartments for let. In 1978, the former dining room was converted to a restaurant by Louisville restaurateur Tim Barnes, who opened it with chef, Donna Gill. Ellen Gill McCarty later became the chef of the restaurant which has become a focal point in Kentucky&#39;s culinary history.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Tevises bought the two-story brick home, laid in Flemish bond, in 1825. Initially there were eight-rooms, which included a parlor, library, bedroom, central hallway on the ground floor, with a stairway leading to additional bedrooms on the upper floor. The school was begun in the library and in 1826, the Tevises added a wing extending east toward the back of the house as a dormitory. Teachers and students resided in the dormitory, which had a chapel on the ground floor and an outside stairway. The original style was of the Federalist period and featured wide ash floors with reeded doors and window treatments. The only room retaining these original features in the downstairs bedroom.</p><br>
<p>In the 1840s, during the Greek Revival Period the house was remodeled to reflect the tastes of the era and many of the mouldings were changed. The doors and windows featured crossets, or double-mitered ears, at the top of the lintel which was supported by side columns. A second wing was added in 1860 which housed a second dormitory and a northern extension between the house and dormitories adding a dining room, kitchen and pantries.</p><br>
<p>In 1861, the courtyard was enclosed by erecting an interior balcony supported by chamfered posts with dentilated moldings. Identical stairways, flanking the arched double-door leading to the chapel, ascended from the east end of the courtyard and connected to the second-story rooms. Light was provided by an octagonal windowed cupola centered in the roof of the courtyard.</p><br>
<p>In the 1880s, when the Poynters took over occupancy of the house, they remodeled the north side, adding a hall and two rooms. The relocated the stairway from the right side of the hall to the opposite side and opened the entrance hall to extend into a back hall. At the same time, the original entrance was replaced with a door featuring side-lights and a leaded-glass transom.</p><br>
<h2>Legacy</h2><br>
<p>The papers of the school are housed at the Filson Historical Society in Louisville, Kentucky and contain letters, papers and records of the school from its founding through 1975. In 1975 the school was placed on the National Register of Historic Places, because of its significance as both a school and a historical building. Kentucky Educational Television featured the school in a 2007 broadcast for the program Kentucky Life. Since 1978, the facility has been operated as a restaurant known as the Science Hill Inn, which was opened by Donna Gill and Tim Barnes. It also houses the Wakefield-Scearce Galleries, an antique furniture and collectibles gallery.</p><br>

<p>The Marsh-Warthen House in Lafayette, Georgia is a historic Greek Revival house that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is open as a historic house museum and events venue, and is owned by the government of Walker County, Georgia.</p><br>
<p>The house was built c.1836 and expanded c. 1895-1910. Colonial Revival modifications were done c.1935.</p><br>
<h2>Description of the House</h2><br>
<p>The Marsh-Warthen House was built in 1836, by Spencer Stewart Marsh and his wife, Ruth Terrell Brantley Marsh.</p><br>
<p>The original house consisted of four rooms over four rooms with wide hallways running through the center of the building on both the upper and lower levels. A large porch with square columns was constructed on the south side of the house; a second-story balcony with a door from the upstairs hall was built over this porch. The original kitchen was in the basement, and food was brought up to the main level by a dumb waiter. The kitchen remained in the basement until about 1900, when the grandson of Spencer Marsh, Spencer Marsh Warthen, built a two-story wing on the northeast side of the house. The lower level of the new wing contained the kitchen and a large pantry, while the upper level was used as servants’ quarters.</p><br>
<p>The Marsh-Warthen House is an early Greek Revival-style home and is significant as an example of a Georgian-type house with original Greek Revival-style and later Colonial Revival-style details. According to Georgias Living Places: Historic Houses in their Landscaped Settings, a statewide context, the Georgian house was popular in Georgias towns and cities from the early years of the 19th century well into the 20th century. The Greek Revival style, which was found more often in towns and cities, was popular from the 1840s through the 1860s. The Marsh-Warthen house is thus an early example of the Greek Revival style of architecture on the Georgia frontier. It retains many of its original stylistic features including overall symmetrical massing, low hipped roof, central-hall plan, and architectural details including prominent square Doric columns and a front door surrounded by narrow sidelights and a rectangular line of transom lights above. Due to the presence of African-American slaves on the property, the early construction date of the house, and the tradition of using slave labor in the antebellum period in Georgia, it is likely that Mr. Marsh&#39;s slaves were involved in the construction of the house.</p><br>
<p>Spencer Marshs youngest daughter, Sarah Adaline, married Nathaniel Green Warthen in 1859. After living on a plantation in McLemores Cove (northwest of La Fayette) and retreating to the old Warthen home place in Warthen, Washington County, Georgia, during the Civil War, the Warthens and their children moved into the Marsh-Warthen House, probably about 1875, after the death of Mr. Spencer Marsh. Their son, Spencer Marsh Warthen, was responsible for the Colonial Revival elements including the roof dormers added to the house in the early 20th century and for the two additions to the house. According to Georgia&#39;s Living Places, the Colonial Revival-style elements were often simply added onto buildings of other styles. The Colonial Revival style was very popular in Georgia from the 1890s through the 1940s.</p><br>
<h2>Marsh Family Business</h2><br>
<p>After settling in Northwest Georgia, Mr. Marsh established a mercantile business on the town square and acquired large tracts of farm and timber lands</p><br>
<p>In 1845, Spencer Marsh, Andrew Perry Allgood, and W.K. Briers organized the Trion Factory Company, the first cotton mill in Northwest Georgia. The mill was built on the Chattooga River about twelve miles south of La Fayette. Andrew P. Allgood, who married the eldest Marsh daughter, Mary Ann, and Spencer Marsh were some of the wealthiest men in northwest Georgia. By 1857, they each had equal interest in Trion Factory. The factory operated under the name of Marsh & Allgood by the eve of the Civil War. Today the Trion Mill operates under the name of Mount Vernon Mills.</p><br>
<h2>The Marsh Family</h2><br>
<p>Mr. Marsh was born in Chatham County, North Carolina, on November 25, 1799, and was the son of William Marsh, a soldier in the American Revolution for whom the William Marsh chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (in La Fayette, Georgia) is named. About 1835, Marsh moved his family to “Chattooga,” Georgia. Soon after his arrival, the name of the small settlement was changed to La Fayette. In 1835, Northwest Georgia was still Cherokee territory and remained so until 1838, when the Native Americans of the area were removed and settled west of the Mississippi River. By 1835, the Cherokees were a friendly, peaceful people, and the Marsh family befriended many of them.</p><br>
<p>Ruth and Spencer Marsh reared their six children in this large, imposing house, and sometimes rented rooms to boys who wished to live in La Fayette during the week and attend Chattooga Academy, the brick school just south of the Marsh House. One of the boys who lived with the Marsh family was John B. Gordon. Years later, Gordon became a well-known and respected person in Georgia and throughout the South. During the American Civil War, Gordon served as one of Robert E. Lee’s officers and was the officer Lee chose to surrender what was left of the Army of Northern Virginia. After the war, Gordon served the people of Georgia as governor and USA Senator.</p><br>
<p>In 1863, when the Civil War moved into Northwest Georgia, the Marsh family moved south to Cassville, Georgia, in what is today Bartow County, Georgia. General Braxton Bragg plotted his strategy September 17-19, 1863, for the Battle of Chickamauga under an old oak tree which stood just to the south of the Marsh House in front of the Chattooga Academy. While the family was away, the house was occupied by Union troops and was a focal point during The Battle of La Fayette in June of 1864. After the war, the family returned home to find that all of their furniture and household items had been taken. The floors were blood-soaked and marked with hoof prints. Many bullets were found in the outer walls of the house and there were bullet holes in the glass around the south upstairs outer door.</p><br>
<p>The house remained in the same family for more than one hundred fifty years. The last member of the family to occupy the home was Miss Addie Augusta Wert, great-granddaughter of Spencer and Ruth Marsh.</p><br>
<h2>Museum</h2><br>
<p>The Patrick R. Clements family owned the house from 1992-2002 when it was purchased by the Walker County, Georgia, Historical Society. In the summer of 2003, the house was purchased by Walker County from the Walker County Historical Society. Under an agreement with the county, the Walker County Historical Society manages the building, and through the Marsh House Community Task Force (Board of Trustees), raises funds for the operation and maintenance of the building and surrounding grounds.</p><br>
<p>The Marsh House is open to the public from 1:30 until 3:30 on Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons. The Marsh House aims to serve as a major educational and cultural institution in Northwest Georgia and the greater Chattanooga area by providing in-depth tours led by trained interpreters, by offering historically accurate reenactments, by working with local schools to offer curriculum-targeted instructional experiences, and by hosting exhibits and events which promote understanding of Northwest Georgia&#39;s diverse peoples and history. More than 10,000 persons visit the house and grounds each year, many as a continuation of their visit to the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Parkwhich is only 12 miles away.</p><br>
<p>The Marsh House Museum Board also manages the Chattooga Academy for educational programs across the lawn which Spencer Marsh helped to found and which is the oldest brick school house in Georgia.</p><br>
<h2>Significance of the Marsh-Warthen House</h2><br>
<p>The house is significant in the area of European settlement of North America. In the 18th and early 19th centuries, the Cherokee Nation included the area that would become Walker County. The Georgia Land Lottery of 1832 followed by the removal of the Cherokee by the federal government opened the area to white settlement. Spencer Marsh moved his family to La Fayette c.1835 from Newton County, Georgia, and became one of the pioneers of the county. During the early years of his life on the frontier, Mr. Marsh had many dealings with his Cherokee neighbors and was given the name Estachee by the Cherokee Indians. Marsh House history notes that one of his servants at the Marsh House, Ninatoya, was a Cherokee woman who was forced west on the Trail of Tears in the late 1830s. The home he built c. 1836-1837 is one of the few surviving houses from that period of early white settlement.</p><br>
<p>The Marsh-Warthen House is important to an understanding of social and cultural history due to Spencer Marshs efforts to promote the welfare of the La Fayette area. As a community and business leader in La Fayette and Walker County, Marsh encouraged progress in the economic, educational, and religious life of the community. In addition to his influence as a local merchant Mr. Marsh helped organize the Trion Factory (in Chattooga County, south of La Fayette) in 1845, the first cotton mill in northwest Georgia. He served as an Inferior Court justice and as a state senator. He also donated the land for the Chattooga Academy (located just south of the Marsh-Warthen House and listed in the National Register on February 15, 1980) and served as a trustee for the academy and for the La Fayette Female Academy established soon thereafter. Mr. Marsh was an active member and major funder of the First Baptist Church of La Fayette, where his family and slaves attended. The Marsh household was a typical wealthy Southern household during the mid-19th century. The family coexisted and interacted closely with the African-American slaves who lived on the property and later with the African-American servants who lived in the main house. Spencer Marsh was thus a prominent local example of the kind of enterprising pioneer who helped settle Georgias westward-moving frontier during the late 18th and early 19th Centuries through his contributions to the developing community&#39;s social, economic, and cultural life.</p><br>

<p>The Mathilda Wehmeyer House and German-American Kindergarten School is a two-story building located at 1616 Winnie  in the East End Historic District of Galveston, Texas. Built in 1887, the building housed a school operated by German immigrant Mathilda Wehmeyer between 1891 and 1898.</p><br>
<h2>Mathilda Wehmeyer</h2><br>
<p>Mathilda Wehmeyer was born in Bremen, Germany in 1839. She immigrated to the United States in 1857, first settling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana to join her sister Elizabeth and Elizabeth’s husband, Theodore Goldmann. Eventually, the Goldmann family grew to include eight children. Sometime prior to 1870, the family, including Wehmeyer, relocated to Galveston, Texas. In 1871, when they were first recorded in a Galveston city directory, Theodore was working as a watchmaker and the family lived on Church (Avenue F), between 27th and 28th Streets.</p><br>
<p>In 1870, shortly after arriving in Galveston, Wehmeyer advertised her services as a teacher in the Galveston Daily News:</p><br>
<p>Miss M. Wehmeyer, assisted by a thoroughly competent FRENCH and ENGLISH teacher, late of New Orleans, will re-open her school in the building formerly occupied by Mrs. Bardine, corner Ave H and 18th, Monday next. References O. Gareissen, Dr. E. Goldmann, E. Keppler.</p><br>
<p>Later advertisements describe her school as a kindergarten, a term by then well known to Americans as representing a specific set of principles for early childhood education. These principles, formalized in Germany by Friedrich Fröbel, emphasized the importance of playing games as a means for children to learn about the world. In establishing her school, Wehmeyer followed Frobel&#39;s philosophy, as developed in America by educators Margarethe Schurz, a student of Frobel in her native Germany, Elizabeth Peabody, and Susan Blow.</p><br>
<h3>Early Operations and Relocation to 1616 Winnie</h3><br>
<p>Wehmeyer operated her school from the corner of 18th Street and Ball (Avenue H) throughout the 1870s. As of 1880, Galveston had two schools catering to its German-American population. The German Lutheran School, operated by the First Evangelical Lutheran Church, had fifty students. Wehmeyer&#39;s school, with twenty students, was successful enough to warrant the purchase of a house and lot at 1616 Winnie. Wehmeyer bought the property from Anna Norris, a widow, for $200. Between 1880 and 1885, Wehmeyer lived in the building and operated her school on the premises.</p><br>
<h3>1885 Fire: Destruction and Rebuilding</h3><br>
<p>The school operated from 1616 Winnie until November 1885, when a fire burned through forty blocks on the east side of Galveston. Beginning at Vulcan Ironworks at the intersection of 16th Street and Strand (Avenue B), the fire moved eastward and completely destroyed the 1600 block of Winnie. Her house and school destroyed, Wehmeyer lived elsewhere between 1885 and 1891. In 1890, she moved in with her niece, Emilia, the daughter of Elizabeth Goldmann, and Emilia’s husband, Alfred Muller, who was one of the most prominent architects in the city.</p><br>
<p>Soon after the 1885 fire, Wehmeyer commenced plans for a new building at 1616 Winnie. By 1887, construction was complete on a two-story, wood-frame house with a one-story front porch. Twentieth-century projects altered the front porch, but the front façade’s five bays and the hipped roof are likely remnants of the building’s original design. The symmetry and restrained use of details indicate a conservative approach when compared to the more articulated examples from the East End during this period. The style of the house has been characterized as "conservative Italianate." Between 1887 and 1891, Wehmeyer leased the new building to various tenants.</p><br>
<h2>The German-American Kindergarten School at 1616 Winnie</h2><br>
<p>In 1891, Wehmeyer announced the reopening of her school with an advertisement in the Galveston Daily News. She continued to operate the school from the site until 1898, and she lived in the building until 1900 when she was displaced by the 1900 Galveston Hurricane. She eventually returned to the home of her niece, Emilia Muller, by then widowed and living with her son Alfred Muller, Jr. at 1512 22nd Street. She died there in 1903.</p><br>
<h3>After the 1900 Hurricane</h3><br>
<p>While the 1900 Hurricane caused enough damage to displace the then sixty-one-year-old Wehmeyer, it did not destroy her building at 1616 Winnie. She retained ownership of the house until 1902, when she sold it to Worthy Boyd, a clerk in the cotton industry. Boyd leased the building to several different tenants, often simultaneously. The Galveston City Directory lists the following residents on the property in 1919 alone: businessman William H. Pohlig, his wife and their two children; Linnie B. Stallings, a widow and curator of the Pathology Museum at the University of Texas Medical Branch; Elizabeth Butcher, a pathology technician at UTMB; Ella Woodyard, a music teacher; and longshoreman William McWillie and his wife, a cook at a neighboring property. In 1909, Boyd remodeled the house, reconfiguring the front porch as illustrated in a 1912 Sanborn fire insurance map.</p><br>
<p>In 1922, Boyd sold the property to William H. Pohlig, a German American who had lived in the house with his family as tenants since 1916. Pohlig worked for various business interests of Galveston banker J.W. Jokusch. At various times, he managed the Interstate Chemical Company and the Oleander Feed Store, which he later owned. Pohlig, his wife Anne, and their children, lived in the building for over fifty years.</p><br>
<p>After the deaths of William (1961) and Anne (1977), the house had several different residents during the 1980s and 1990s. In 2007, current owners purchased the building and completed a rehabilitation project in 2008, just days prior to the landfall of Hurricane Ike. The second rehabilitation project was completed in 2009. In 2012, the City of Galveston designated the building as a City Landmark.</p><br>

<p>Porlock Stone Circle is a stone circle located near to the village of Porlock in the south-western English county of Somerset. It is found within Exmoor. The Porlock ring is part of a tradition of stone circle construction that spread throughout much of Britain, Ireland, and Brittany during the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age, over a period between 3,300 and 900 BCE. The purpose of such monuments is unknown, although archaeologists speculate that they were religious sites, with the stones perhaps having supernatural associations for those who built the circles.</p><br>
<p>Although Exmoor witnessed the construction of a large number of monuments during the Bronze Age, only two stone circles survive in this area, the other being Withypool Stone Circle. A small lead wheel found inside the circle possibly indicates that the site was visited during the Romano-British period. The site was rediscovered in the 1920s and since then a variety of stones have been added to it; its current appearance is a composite of prehistoric and modern elements. In 1928 the site was surveyed and excavated by the archaeologist Harold St George Gray. A second excavation took place under the leadership of Mark Gillings in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The circle is located two and three-quarter miles south-west of the village of Porlock. It is also one mile south of the A39 road and is immediately to the west of the lane headed south to Exford. The circle is at an altitude of almost 415 metres (1,360 feet) above sea level. The circle is located 10 kilometres (six and a half miles) north of the Withypool Stone Circle.</p><br>
<p>The land on which the circle is located slopes from the north-east to the south-west. From the circle, a range of different Bronze Age round barrows, or tumuli, are visible at different points in the surrounding landscape. Among the nearest are Alderman&#39;s Barrow, Black Barrow, the two Bendels Barrows, the Rowbarrows, and the Kit Barrows. On the east-northeast side of the circle is the Berry Castle earthwork camp.</p><br>

<p>While the transition from the Early Neolithic to the Late Neolithic—which took place with the transition from the fourth to the third millennium BCE—witnessed much economic and technological continuity, it also saw a considerable change in the style of monuments erected, particularly in southern and eastern England. By 3000 BCE, the long barrows, causewayed enclosures, and cursuses which had predominated in the Early Neolithic were no longer built, and were instead replaced by circular monuments of various kinds. These include earthen henges, timber circles, and stone circles. These latter circles are found in most areas of Britain where stone is available, with the exception of the island&#39;s south-eastern corner. They are most densely concentrated in south-western Britain and on the north-eastern horn of Scotland, near Aberdeen.</p><br>
<p>These stone circles typically show very little evidence of human visitation during the period immediately following their creation. This suggests that they were not sites used for rituals that left archaeologically visible evidence, and may have been deliberately left as "silent and empty monuments". The archaeologist Mike Parker Pearson suggested that in Neolithic Britain, stone was associated with the dead and wood with the living. Other archaeologists have suggested that the stone might not represent ancestors, but rather other supernatural entities, such as deities.</p><br>
<p>There are only two known prehistoric stone circles located on Exmoor: Withypool and Porlock Stone Circle. The archaeologist Leslie Grinsell noted that there was a circular stone monument on Almsworthy Common that was "probably" also the remains of a stone circle, although P. J. D. Way argued that it was a rectilinear stone setting, perhaps a series of parallel stone rows.</p><br>
<p>Archaeologists have attributed these circles to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, and have noted that they are comparable to the stone circles found further south, in Dartmoor. However, in contrast to the two known Exmoor circles, over seventy such monuments have been identified on Dartmoor. This may be because Exmoor, unlike Dartmoor, has no natural granite. Instead it has Devonian slates and Hangman Grits, both of which easily break up into small slabs, resulting in a general shortage of big stones on Exmoor.</p><br>
<p>Exmoor also has a henge located near to Parracombe, although it has been damaged by ploughing. Alongside this, the moor bears a profusion of other Bronze Age monuments, including between 300 and 400 round barrows, standing stones, and linear stone settings. The creation of these different monument types might explain why so few stone circles were apparently erected here.</p><br>
<p>Most of the surviving prehistoric stone monuments on Exmoor are located on those areas of moorland outside the limits of medieval and post-medieval agriculture. For this reason it is likely that the surviving sites are not a reliable indicator of the original extent of these sites.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The circle had a diameter of 24 metres (80 feet) and a circumference of approximately 77 metres (252 feet). The stones in the circle are green micaceous sandstone originating from the Devonian period. These stones were probably collected in the local area. Following his excavation of several stone settings, the archaeologist Mark Gillings argued that three forms of stone were deliberately incorporated into the article: small uprights, low uprights, and larger stones that are positioned in a sloping position.</p><br>
<p>Investigation in the 1920s found ten upright stones and eleven prostrate ones, and concluded that there would have probably been about forty-three stones in the circle, each spaced about 2 metres (6 feet) apart. The largest gaps in the circle were on its north-west and east-southeast sides, where the stones may have been removed for use as road metal. In 1950, it was noted that a number of the stones had since been disrupted by military training during the Second World War. When the site was surveyed in 1989, thirteen stones remained in the circle, a number of which were found to be in different locations to the 1920s. A 2009 survey by the Exmoor National Park Authority found only ten. A fuller archaeological investigation in 2013 revealed eighteen stones, eleven of which are upright and eight of which are fallen. The archaeologist Mark Gillings noted that as it exists in the twenty-first century, the circle is "clearly an amalgamation of prehistoric and wholly modern standings stones".</p><br>
<p>Directly adjacent to the northeast of the circle is a denuded cairn (a cairn which has had many stones removed). 57 metres (187 feet) to the southeast of the circle&#39;s edge is a linear setting of small stones. First recorded in 1975, at the time the row contained eight stones, six of them upright, covering a length of 12 metres (39 feet). The stones were mostly very small and barely visible in the turf, and were spaced at around 0.88 metre (2.9 feet) intervals. In 2012, a burn of the heather revealed that there were five additional stones on the southeastern end of the row, indicating a total distance of 35.23 metres (115.5 feet). The relationship between this stone row and the stone circle is unclear because road construction and quarrying has taken place in the area between the two. However, the trajectory of the stone row would pass through the cairn adjacent to the circle.</p><br>
<p>Gillings argued that the stone row and cairn were part of a wider monumental landscape incorporating Porlock stone circle. He suggested that the cairn was built in the early Bronze Age, with additions of a rough paving around its perimeter made in the middle Bronze Age. He also put forward the possibility that the stone circle was built during the middle Bronze Age as part of a wider "re-organisation of the landscape" around the cairn.</p><br>
<p>During the 2013 excavation, a four-spoked lead wheel measuring 7 centimetres (3 inches) in diameter was found buried in the circle. Although it could not be unequivocally identified, it resembled late Iron Age and early Roman votive items that are sometimes found in Britain and (more commonly) Gaul. If this identification is correct, it would suggest that Porlock stone circle was known about and visited during the Romano-British period.</p><br>
<h3>Investigation</h3><br>
<p>The circle was rediscovered in the early 20th century by E. T. MacDermot, a man who lived in the Lillycombe estate near Porlock. He knew of several stones on Porlock Common but only noticed the wider circle after the heather was burnt away. MacDermot was aware that the archaeologist Harold St George Gray had investigated Exmoor&#39;s Withypool Stone Circle in 1905, and informed him of the discovery. In September and October 1928, Gray surveyed the Porlock circle with the permission of the landowner. He also briefly excavated a small area in the centre of the circle, where a dozen slabs of stone were revealed but no charcoal.</p><br>
<p>In August 2009 a resistivity survey of the site was carried out by the archaeologists Mark Gillings and Jeremy Taylor of the University of Leicester. They did so at the behest of the Exmoor National Park Authority, which commissioned the research as part of their Monument Management Scheme. This survey indicated that there had been sub-rectangular structures situated around the circle at some point in the past, although Gillings and Taylor acknowledged that excavation would be required to determine at what period these existed. Gillings oversaw this excavation in 2013. His team opened a trench measuring 6 metres (20 feet) by 4 metres (13 feet) around the circles northern arc. Here, no artefacts from the period of original construction were revealed, nor were any sealed, undisturbed deposits suitable for environmental sampling and dating. A second trench was opened to examine a number of stones located to the east of the circle, which Gillings team believed had been part of the stone row.</p><br>
<h3>Heritage management</h3><br>
<p>The site has been scheduled as an ancient monument. Surveys of the site have shown a marked deterioration in its condition &ndash; in 1950 Gray could identify 21 stones as part of the circle, but by 2009 the survey on behalf of Exmoor National Park Authority found only 10 stones. Stones have also been added to the circle in recent years; thus heritage managers face a question as to whether they should remove the more recently-added stones or to accept these as part of the circle&#39;s on-going biography.</p><br>
<p>Withypool Stone Circle, also known as Withypool Hill Stone Circle, is a stone circle located near to the village of Withypool in the south-western English county of Somerset. It is found within Exmoor. The Withypool ring is part of a tradition of stone circle construction that spread throughout much of Britain, Ireland, and Brittany during the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age, over a period between 3,300 and 900 BCE. The purpose of such monuments is unknown, although archaeologists speculate that they were likely religious sites, with the stones perhaps having supernatural associations for those who built the circles.</p><br>
<p>Although Exmoor witnessed the construction of a large number of monuments during the Bronze Age, only two stone circles survive in this area, the other being Porlock Stone Circle. The Withypool ring is located on the south-western slope of Withypool Hill, on an area of heathland. In diameter it measures 36.4 metres (119 feet, 6 inches) across. Around thirty small gritstones remain as part of the circle, which may originally have held around one hundred; there are conspicuous gaps on the northern and western ends of the monument. The site was rediscovered in 1898 and subsequently surveyed by the archaeologist Harold St George Gray in 1905.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Withypool Stone Circle is located on the south-western slope of Withypool Hill, with some sources referring to it as Withypool Hill Stone Circle. The site is at a height of 381 meters (1250 feet) above sea level. It is 670.25 meters (733 yards) east-southeast of Portford Bridge, and two and three-quarter miles south/south-west of Exford.</p><br>
<p>The land on which the circle is located slopes down from east to west. The topsoil in and around the site is peaty and has heather growing across it. From the circle, a range of different Bronze Age round barrows, or tumuli, are visible at different points in the surrounding landscape. 261.5 meters (286 yards) to the north-east of the circle, atop the summit of Withypool Hill, is a lone tumulus, although this can no longer be seen from Withypool Stone Circle itself. The three Brightworthy Barrows can be seen from the circle in a north-west direction. Other Bronze Age barrows visible from the circle are the Green Barrow, the Old Barrow, the Twitchen Barrows, the three Wam Barrows of Winsford Hill, and the barrow atop Sherdon.</p><br>
<p>Also visible from the circle is a scatter of over thirty stones on the Westwater Allotment; these are up to 0.5m (1.6 feet) long, with two reported as being standing in 1988. Elsewhere on Withypool Common is a collection of six stones arranged in a roughly circular fashion, which may have represented another stone circle or perhaps the kerbstones from a since-destroyed round cairn.</p><br>

<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The stone circle measures 36.4 metres (119 feet, 6 inches) in diameter.</p><br>
<p>As of 1905, there were thirty-seven stones remaining in the circle. At the time there were conspicuous gaps on the northern and western sides of the ring, with the stones perhaps having been removed for use as road metal. In 1915 it was reported that one of the previously recorded stones had been removed but that three additional stones had been found in the circle. By 1988, Martin J. F. Fowler reported that there were only twenty-nine stones in the circle. Conversely, the following year Burl reported thirty stones, of which three had fallen and twenty-seven remained standing. Originally it may have included around a hundred stones, spaced about one metre (3 feet 6 inches) apart.</p><br>
<p>The stones themselves are small; on average they measure 0.1 metre (4 inches) in height, 0.3 metre (one foot) in width, and 0.1 metres (4 inches) thick. The largest stands approximately 0.5 metres (1.6 feet) above the ground. Most are incomplete, and likely have been broken since the original erection of the circle. Although it is not known if all the stones in the circle come from the same natural rock, a sample was taken from one stone and under examination revealed to be a hard, pale grey gritstone, likely taken from the nearby Pickwell Down grits. There are conspicuous quartz veins in many of the circle&#39;s stones.</p><br>
<h3>Investigation</h3><br>
<p>The site was first rediscovered by accident in 1898 when Archibald Hamilton was riding across Withypool Heath. His horse stumbled against one of the stones, and on further investigation he located other stones within the bracken. After the bracken on the heath was burned away, something that took place periodically to encourage new growth, Hamilton returned to get a better look at the circle. He contacted Colonel Bramble, the Vice President of the Somerset Archaeological and Natural History Society, who put him in touch with the archaeologist Harold St George Gray. Gray then accompanied Hamilton on a visit to the site in August 1905, at which point he made a survey of the ring.</p><br>
<p>Gray published his findings in a 1906 volume of the Proceedings of the Somerset Archaeological and Natural History Society, in which he drew comparisons between the site and two Cornish stone circles that he had recently surveyed, Fernacre and Stannon stone circle. He proffered the suggestion that the circle had been the site of cremations, with the cremated human remains then being buried within the nearby tumuli. In August 1909, Gray returned to the site for the first time in nine years. He noted that the circle was in largely the same condition as before, but that the ling and whortleberry bushes around the site were more stunted than they had previously been.</p><br>
<p>The site has been categorised as a scheduled monument since 1925, and thus is accorded legal protection under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979.</p><br>

<p>The Henry B. Bissell House is a historic house at 202 Maple Street in Litchfield, Connecticut. Built in 1850, it is one of the town&#39;s finest examples of stone Greek Revival architecture. It was built by Henry Bissell, from a locally prominent family with extensive landholdings in the Bantam area. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Henry Bissell House stands in a rural-residential area of northwestern Litchfield, north of the borough of Bantam on the east side of Maple Street. It is a 2-1/2 story gable-roofed stone structure, with a rear wood-frame ell. It is built from locally quarried granite, with lighter stones chosen for corner quoining and window sills and lintels. Darker stones were used mainly as narrow horizontal elements, giving the house a distinctive appearance. The main entrance is in the rightmost bay, framed by sidelight and transom windows, and topped by a peaked lintel stone. The mortar in the walls appears to be original. The interior of the house follows a typical side-hall plan, and retains much original woodwork, which is typically Greek Revival or vernacular.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1850 for Henry B. Bissell. The Bissell had been a major landowner in northwestern Litchfield since the 1720s, and this house was built using stone from a family-owned quarry. The Bissells were mainly farmers, but also owned a local gristmill in Bantam village in addition to the stone quarry. The house remained in the family until 1985.</p><br>
