<p>The Lake Catherine State Park Prisoner of War Structures are two structures in the campground area of Lake Catherine State Park in Hot Spring County, Arkansas. One is a stone retaining wall, about 210 ft long and 9 ft tall, built out of native stone on a concrete foundation. It is laid out in a zig-zag pattern just south of the campground&#39;s main waterfront building, and is oriented with its faces generally directed eastward to the water. The other is an outdoor cooking area , also built of stone, located a short way west of the wall. Construction of both of these structures was begun in 1942 by crews of the Civilian Conservation Corps, but was interrupted when work ceased due to World War II. Both were then later completed by German prisoners of war who were housed nearby. They are believed to be unique in the state for this construction history.</p><br>
<p>The structures were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Vicars’ Court or Vicars’ Choral in Lincoln, is situated in the Minster Yard to the south of Lincoln Cathedral. It was founded as a college of priests by Bishop Sutton in the late 13th, century. These priests would take services in the Cathedral in the absence of the Prebendaries. The Vicars ‘ Choral of Lincoln is one of eight such colleges in England, and it is also one of the earliest, best preserved and the most interesting. The great majority of the building survives . By 1305 the hall, the kitchen and certain chambers were finished. In 1328 lay brothers were admitted and further houses were built for them During the English Civil War, the buildings were badly damaged a and afterwards they were converted into four houses.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The buildings now consist of four irregular two storeyed ranges set around a spacious sloping turfed courtyard. The entrance range facing the cathedral with an entrance gateway is 14th century and has the arms of Bishop Gravesend above the entrance arch.</p><br>
<p>The northern block, on the left has a near-central 14th century doorway, with a hoodmould and mask stops, flanked to left by a four-centred arched window with a hoodmoul, and a small pointed arched casement window.</p><br>
<p>The southern range has a central flat headed doorway with keystone, and a shield above it. To right are a flat headed window with a three pointed arched lights, and a moulded doorway with hoodmoulds which are 19th century. Beyond is a single gabled buttress. Above are a large gabled dormer windows to left with two smaller dormer windows to right. Above is a central canted wooden oriel window on a shaped bracket. At the back are four brick and stone external buttressed chimneystacks, and a garderobe tower.</p><br>
<p>The interior has several intact garderobes, and at the north end there is a ground floor medieval ceiling with transverse chamfered beams on double corbels.</p><br>
<p>Jeffers Mound is a Hopewell tradition Native American burial mound in Worthington, Ohio. The mound is all that remains of the ceremonial Worthington Earthworks site built between 100 B.C. and 400 A.D. The mound is named after Herman Plesenton Jeffers, who owned the land the mound is situated on before its transfer to the Worthington Historical Society.</p><br>
<p>Ownership of the site has changed since the early 1800s. In 1804, William Vining purchased 203 acres of land known today as the Plesenton subdivision, which included the site of Jeffers Mound. The area was farmed for decades, resulting in the degradation of the site&#39;s smaller mounds. In 1921, Herman Plesenton Jeffers purchased the Plesenton subdivision and made plans for the area to be developed - however, the area around Jeffers Mound was excluded from development. Finally, in 1974, the Herman Plesenton Jeffers Trust donated the site to the Worthington Historical Society for its preservation.</p><br>
<p>Near Jeffers Mound is a set of markers that reveal the footprint of a previously existing rectangular structure.</p><br>
<p>Jeffers Mound was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, the same year that the site was donated to the Worthington Historical Society. The site has also been designated as a Remarkable Ohio historical site by Ohio History Connection, Ohio&#39;s historical society.</p><br>
<p>The Holabird House is a historic house on Kellog Road in Canaan, Connecticut. Built about 1740, it is one of the town&#39;s oldest surviving buildings, and a well-preserved example of Georgian architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Holabird House stands in a rural area of central western Canaan, on the northeast side of Kellog Road just north of its junction with Connecticut Route 126. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a side gable roof, central chimney and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is five bays wide, with symmetrical but uneven placement of the windows. The main entrance is at the center, framed by plain boards and a transom window; it is a replacement. A single-story wing of early construction extends to the rear. The interior follows a central chimney plan, with a narrow entrance vestibule that also as a winding staircase, and chambers on either side of the chimney. The original kitchen space extends behind the chimney. The downstairs and front rooms retain many original finish features; the rear rooms of the second floor have been modernized.</p><br>
<p>The oldest portion of the house, probably a three-bay section, was built about 1740 by Timothy Holabird, one of Canaans earliest settlers. The town was not organized until 1740, and Holabird is documented to have purchased this land in 1737. There is architectural evidence suggesting that both the south side of the house and the rear section housing the kitchen are later additions, although still in the colonial period. The buildings interior is markedly more elaborate than its exterior. The house is the subject of a documentary book written about 1920 by the Colonial Dames.</p><br>
<p>The Gilmour B. and Edith Craig MacDonald House is a historic building located in Ames, Iowa, United States. It is significant for its association with G.B. MacDonald, a leading figure in the Conservation Movement in Iowa, and as a fine example of American Craftsman architecture in Ames. MacDonald was a professor of forestry at Iowa State College, later renamed Iowa State University, from 1910 until his death in 1960. He also served as Deputy State Forester from 1918 to 1935, and as the State Forester from 1935 to 1957. He played a leading role in both forestry and soil conservation, and was an advocate for the relationship between forestry and soil erosion and farming. As Iowa&#39;s director of the Emergency Conservation Work program, MacDonald oversaw the Civilian Conservation Corps camps in the 1930s, all which were involved with reforestation or soil erosion control work at one time or another.</p><br>
<p>Des Moines architect Robert G. McDowell designed the bungalow, which was completed in 1916. Appropriately, it is located on a wooded lot. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>Dawson Butte, elevation 7,474 ft, is a flat-topped mountain in Douglas County, Colorado. Adjacent to the mountain is the Dawson Butte Open Space, owned by Douglas County and managed by the County&#39;s Division of Open Space and Natural Resources.</p><br>
<p>The mountain and open space are located about five miles south of Castle Rock.</p><br>
<p>The publicly-accessible portion of the open space covers 828 acres. A five-mile-long trail loops around the open space property. The trail is open to hikers, horseback riders, snowshoers, and mountain bikers. Dogs are allowed provided they are leashed. An old bridle path remains on the property, and some of the jumps are still set up.</p><br>
<p>There is no public access to the top of the butte.</p><br>
<p>The Municipal Building, also known as Youth & Shelter Services, is a historic building located in Ames, Iowa, United States. It is significant for its association with the Progressive Movement reforms implemented by the city in the early 20th century. Previous to the construction of this facility in 1916 the city council, mayor, municipal offices, fire department and the police department, including the city jail and police court, were all housed in separate buildings. They were combined here in an effort to increase efficiency, professionalism, and the scope of city services. Per the Progressive Movement, all of these functions were housed in different zones in the building. The fire department was located on the backside of the building, and the archways where the fire engines doors were located are still visible.</p><br>
<p>The two-story, brick, Neoclassical style building was designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Liebbe, Nourse & Rasmussen. It was built by J. E. Tusant of Des Moines for $37,310. It remained the seat of local government until 1990 when it moved into the present city hall. The building sat empty for several years before it was purchased by Youth & Shelter Services, a local human services agency, for their offices. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>Cliffe Park Hall is a country house near Rudyard in Staffordshire, England. During its 200-year history, it has been a private residence, a golf club house and a youth hostel. The hall is a Grade II listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The hall was commissioned by John Haworth, owner of the Cliffe Park estate, in the early 19th century and was completed in the period 1811–1830 Howarth died in 1831 and the estate passed to Fanny Bostock, his cousin and also his lover. The hall overlooks Rudyard Lake and in 1851 Fanny commenced proceedings against the North Staffordshire Railway (NSR), owners of the lake, preventing the railway company for using the lake for any leisure activities. The proceedings took four years to conclude but eventually was found in Fanny&#39;s favour and it would be almost 50 years before leisure activities were allowed on the lake by which time the railway company would be the owners of the hall.</p><br>
<p>Fanny died in 1875 with no heirs and the estate was sold in lots by the executors in 1885; ownership of the hall passed to the Reverend E. D. Boothman who retained the hall until 1903. Boothman sold the hall to the NSR who had to seek Parliamentary approval to purchase the hall, and also to use Rudyard Lake as they had wished since 1851 The act was passed in 1904 as the North Staffordshire Railway Act 1904 and the purchase of the hall confirmed. Having also purchased 67 acres of land around the hall the NSR opened a golf course in 1906 using the hall as the club house. The golf course closed in 1926 and after lying empty for some years the hall was leased, in 1933, to the Youth Hostels Association (YHA). YHA purchased the hall in 1955 but closed the hostel in 1969 and sold it in 1970 due to declining circumstances.</p><br>
<p>Brian Dalley bought the hall from YHA and lived there until his death in 2015. Shortly before his death Mr Dalley was the victim of an aggravated burglary at the hall during which he was tied up for several hours and beaten. Following Mr Dalley&#39;s death the hall has been sold again.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The hall is of stone construction and is to a Neo-Gothic design although Pevsner describes the hall (and others of a similar date) as "Gothic in intention rather than in the accuracy of features and their combination". The walls are topped with crenallations so the flat roof is not visible from the ground and the chimney stacks are disguised as turrets. The semi-circular bow in the centre of the west wall and the narrow upright windows give a castle-like effect to the whole building. The style is continued in the lodge to the hall which is also a separately listed Grade II listed building.</p><br>
<p>The American Spinning Company Mill No. 2 is a historic mill complex at 300 Hammett Street, in a pocket of unincorporated Greenville County, South Carolina surrounded on three sides by the city of Greenville. It is a five-story brick building, to which a number of warehouse buildings and other additions were made. It was built in 1901-02, as part of a major expansion to the American Spinning Company&#39;s Mill No. 1, which originally stood just south of Hammett Street. It was built by Oscar Sampson, a Boston textile manufacturer to a design by the industrial design firm Lockwood and Greene, and is one of thirteen early 20th-century mills surviving in the Greenville area. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016. Its major tenant now is the Victor Mill Company, a furniture maker.</p><br>
<p>The Peterson Bag and Paper Building is a historic building located in downtown Davenport, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the Davenport Register of Historic Properties in 2012.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was built in 1907 for the Davenport Bag & Paper Company. The five-story building is composed of reinforced concrete blocks, and it is considered the first fireproof building built in the city after the Great Chicago Fire. The Chicago-style of architecture, which the building employs with its wide windows on the main facade, is one of the results of the technological advancements that came about after the fire. The revolving door at the main entrance is rare in the Quad Cities. Davenport Bag & Paper produced paper bags, wrapping paper and flour sacks. They used the building for its entire operation, which included manufacturing and warehousing. This part of the Central Business District was home to similar facilities until World War I.</p><br>
<p>The Peterson Paper Company occupied the building by 1940. They were founded as the H.A. Morrow Company in 1907, and the Peterson family took over in 1918. They remained here until 1998 when they were bought by Great Western Supply, another Davenport company. The building sat empty until it was purchased by Manisha Baheti and Joe Erenberger who converted it into 19 apartments in 2012.</p><br>
<p>Santa Maria Saltpans , also as the Santa Maria Saline Marsh is a saline marsh in the southernmost portion of the island of Sal, Cape Verde nearly surrounding the town of Santa Maria. It is one of two on the island, the other is Pedra de Lume and its Cagarra crater. The saline marshes and its evaporation ponds forms a part of a protected area as a protected countryside. Much of the protected area is the northern part, parts of the area near the town is also a protected area. Its length in the northern portion is 1.43 km from east to west and 1.3 km for its width. The portion west of the city center is 400 meters long from east to west and 300 meters wide, only the northeast part remains which is about 150 by 100 meters.</p><br>
<p>The town of Santa Maria was founded in these saltpans in 1835 by colonial governor Manuel António Martins, the last after Pedra de Lume. Later, it amounted to 30,000 tons of salt were shipped from Santa Maria. Most of the product was exported to Brazil, which was halted in 1887 when Brazil imposed a high tax on imported salt to protect its own salt production. The town went into a deep decline, only to recover in 1920 when Portuguese and French investors resumed salt production, one of them J.A. Nascimento. In 1927, salt started to be exported to the Belgian Congo which remained until the nation became independent as Congo-Kinshasa in 1961 and nationalized its salt production. Not long after, Santa Maria was no longer island capital, it was moved to Espargos, at the time a newly created town. Salt production started to fell and further production lasted until 1984. Today, salt production narrowly resumed but in small quantites, though the majority of salt produced and consumed in Cape Verde are from desal plants.</p><br>
<p>Kora La or Korala  is a mountain pass between Tibet and Upper Mustang. It is only 4,660 m in elevation, it has been considered the lowest drivable path between Tibetan Plateau and Indian subcontinent. It is currently being planned as vehicle border crossing between China and Nepal.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Kora La is situated on the drainage divide between the Yarlung Tsangpo and Ganges river basins. At, it is the lowest pass across the Himalayan mountain range. As such, it forms the key col for K2 on the ridgeline connecting it to Mount Everest. The Kali Gandaki River has its source near the southern side of the pass.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Kora La is one of the oldest routes between the two regions. It was historically used for salt trade between Tibet and Nepalese kingdoms. Up until 2008 Upper Mustang was the Kingdom of Lo, an ethnic Tibetan kingdom that was a suzerainty of Kingdom of Nepal. The suzerainty allowed for a certain level of independence in local governance from the Nepalese central government.</p><br>
<p>During the late 1950s and 60s, the Tibetan guerrilla group Chushi Gangdruk operated out of Upper Mustang with the intention of raiding PLA positions in Tibet. This led to a border incident that caused the killing of a Nepalese officer who was mistaken by Chinese border guards as a Tibetan rebel.</p><br>
<p>People&#39;s Republic of China and Kingdom of Nepal officially signed border agreement in 1961. The border was set slightly north of the traditional boundary marker. The traditional location of Kora La is marked by a stupa lies a bit south of the demarcated border between China and Nepal at 29&deg;18&prime;14&Prime;N latitude, 83&deg;58&prime;7&Prime;E longitude.</p><br>
<p>In December 1999, the 17th claimant Karmapa fled Tibet through this area. In response, China built a border fence immediately after. There is a PLA border outpost a few miles on Chinese side, it is the western most border outpost in Tibet Military District. The outpost was renovated in 2009 to have a modern facility.</p><br>
<p>The border has been closed since the 1960s. However, there is a semiannual cross-border trade fair during which the border is open to local traders. In 2012, Nepal and China agreed to open 6 more official border crossings, Kora La being one of them. In July 2016, Nepalese government announced that this border crossing is expected to open in a year, and also expects it to be the third most important crossing between the two countries.</p><br>
<p>Chorolque also known as Cerro Chorolque is an extinct volcano in the Potosí Department of the Southern Bolivia. The Santa Bárbara settlement is located at a height of 4800 m on the side of the mountain.</p><br>
<h2>Mining</h2><br>
<p>Mining has led to drastic changes in the slope on all sides of the mountain. Miners have constructed a road up to 5000 m of the mountain. The village of Santa Bárbara, with its 5000 inhabitants, is the highest village in Bolivia, and is located on the western slope of the mountain. The mines are the highest tin and bismuth mines in the world. Mining in the mountain began with the arrival of Western investors in 1889.</p><br>
<h2>Daughter of Chorolque</h2><br>
<p>A 2007 film called Daughter of Chorolque, by Mi-Sun Park, details the lives of women working in the Chorolque mines. Most miners working in Chorolque do not live past 45, necessitating the need for women to also work in the mines, unlike in other parts of Bolivia where women are kept away from mines.</p><br>
<p>Lake Wells is an ephemeral salt lake in the centre of Western Australia, lying in close proximity to Lake Carnegie. It lies east of Wiluna and is at the southern edge of the Little Sandy Desert and south western border of the Gibson Desert. It also lies to the north west of the Great Central Road and the Great Victoria Desert. Its surface elevation is 436 metres above mean sea-level. Lake Wells has an area of 1895 square kilometres.</p><br>
<h2>Discovery</h2><br>
<p>Lake Wells was discovered in March 1892 during the second part of The Elder Scientific Exploring Expedition 1891-1892. The 1891 phase of the expedition led by David Lindsay had been recalled by its benefactor Sir Thomas Elder, so in February 1892 Lindsay sent his second in command Lawrence Wells on a smaller expedition to explore the area east of the Murchison River in Western Australia. During this expedition Wells (a surveyor) found and named Lake Way, Lake Darlot and Lake Wells.</p><br>

<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<p>The First Baptist Church, Capitol Hill is a Baptist church in Nashville, Tennessee. During the Civil Rights Era, many sit-in participants were trained in non-violent civil disobedience there.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1848, the African American congregation in First Baptist Church on Broadway requested separate space for worship. This faction was named the First Colored Baptist Mission. In 1865, the First Colored Baptist Mission sought to become its own independent entity from the First Baptist Church congregation. Thus the First Colored Baptist Mission formally became known as the First Colored Baptist Church, Nashville, Tennessee. Thirty years later, another division occurred and the church split into Spruce Street Baptist Church, who would meet on North Spruce Street in East Nashville, and First Colored Baptist Church, who would meet on 8th Avenue North. In 1969, the First Colored Baptist Church renamed themselves as the First Baptist Church, Capitol Hill.</p><br>
<h2>Civil Rights Movement</h2><br>
<p>James Lawson began doing workshops about non-violent civil protest there in 1958. Kelly Miller Smith was pastor. Smith had previously help found Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). Many prominent Nashville activists participated in Lawson’s classes: Diane Nash, Bernard Lafayette, James Bevel, and John Lewis.</p><br>
<p>The Columbia Commercial Historic District encompasses a historically significant portion of the central business district of Columbia, South Carolina. It includes portions of three blocks of Main Street between Laurel and Hampton Streets, as well as individual buildings on adjacent streets. It includes the full length of Main Streets east side on these blocks, but only the central block  on the west side, extending slightly south of Taylor. This area best illustrates the city&#39;s commercial and economic growth for a century, from the end of the American Civil War to about 1963, with a broad diversity of architectural styles found in a small area.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. Nine of the district&#39;s 36 buildings are also individually listed.</p><br>
<p>The Ames City Hall is the official seat of government for the city of Ames, Iowa, United States. The building was originally built for Ames High School. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<h2>Ames High School</h2><br>
<p>Old Central School, which contained elementary to high school grades, was built on this property in 1887. The first building dedicated for high school use was completed across the street in 1911. The same year a second high school building was approved for the south side of Ames. As high school enrollment increased there was a need for a new high school building. Old Central School was torn down, and the Des Moines architectural firm of Tinsley, McBroom & Higgins designed the new building. Construction began in 1937 and it was completed two years later. The auditorium and gymnasium were built using a Public Works Administration grant. When the school opened, all high school students were educated here until 1967 when the present high school opened. This building became Central Junior High School.</p><br>
<h2>City Hall</h2><br>
<p>In the early 20th century the Ames city council, mayor, municipal offices, fire department and the police department, including the city jail and police court, were all housed in separate buildings. The city built the Municipal Building in 1916, which brought together all these functions in the same facility. They remained there until 1990 when the city government moved here.</p><br>
<p>The Cole Memorial Building is a historic municipal event hall in Pequot Lakes, Minnesota, United States. It was built in 1937 with New Deal funding, generating jobs and revenue for a community suffering the effects of the Great Depression. With an auditorium large enough to seat 400 people, the Cole Memorial Building served as a key venue for numerous local events. From 1941 to 1967 it was converted into a municipally-run cinema, the Lakes Theater, whose profits were channeled back into community improvements. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004 as the A.L. Cole Memorial Building for having local significance in the themes of entertainment/recreation, politics/government, and social history. It was nominated for illustrating the long-lived benefits and substantial return on investment achieved with New Deal funding.</p><br>
<p>The Cole Memorial Building now houses a senior center and a museum operated by the Pequot Lakes Historical Society.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Cole Memorial Building measures 40 ft by 90 ft and has a full basement, a ground floor, and two small half-story attic spaces at the north and south ends. The walls are reinforced concrete with a stucco finish, though the gables are framed with vertical wood siding.</p><br>
<p>The south end of the building has a projecting gabled vestibule with a porch over the centered entrance. There is a pair of three-pane transom windows over the front door, and four tiny windows near the apex of the main gable which light the attic space. Perched atop the porch roof for most of the building&#39;s history but no longer extant was a small room serving as the projection booth.</p><br>
<p>The east and west walls are divided into six bays, most of which have pairs of six-over-six sash windows topped by three-pane fixed windows on the main floor, and glass block windows for the basement level.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the vestibule provides a staircase to the basement, a coatroom on the left, and an office on the right. A small storage room next to the office contained a ladder up to the projection booth. Beyond the vestibule the main floor was mostly open space serving as the auditorium, with a 23 by stage flanked by stairways and dressing rooms. The stage, with its proscenium arch, was lost in the buildings 1967 conversion into a senior center. The basement originally had a hallway with doors leading to a dining room, a kitchen, a furnace room, and boys and girls&#39; locker rooms with toilets and showers.</p><br>
<p>Immediately behind the building is a small pump house, which is included in the property&#39;s National Register nomination.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>The park in which Pequot Lakes Cole Memorial Building stands was donated by Fay Cole Andrus in December 1935 to be used as a public space in memory of her father, A. L. Cole, one of the towns founders and early merchants. Three months later the Pequot Commercial Club suggested that the village council take advantage of federal work relief funding to construct a recreation hall on the site. Minneapolis-based architect P. C. Bettenburg agreed to the project in advance and submitted plans to the Works Progress Administration (WPA).</p><br>
<p>The WPA was among several programs created by the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration to combat unemployment during the Great Depression by funding labor-intensive infrastructure and service projects of public benefit. As was typical, the WPA paid the workers—mostly unemployed local men plus a few key skilled workers—while the local government covered the cost of materials. These supplies and equipment were acquired from local merchants, further benefiting the area&#39;s economy.</p><br>
<p>Construction began on April 3, 1937, employing 24 full-time equivalent workers for three months. The completed Cole Memorial Building was dedicated in a ceremony on July 1. The following year the village applied for additional WPA funds to landscape the park grounds further.</p><br>
<h2>Use</h2><br>
<p>The Cole Memorial Building initially provided much-needed space for a wide variety of activities. The auditorium could seat up to 400 people, nearly the entire population of the village. The school used it for plays, speech contests, and graduation ceremonies. The village council and Sibley Township board met there, as did local Boy Scout, 4-H, American Legion, and Grange clubs. By February 1939 the village had hired a recreation director to manage activities at the hall, which included craft and game nights, an archery club, and a community forum where citizens could discuss issues of the day.</p><br>
<p>Rental fees, mostly levied on the traveling performers, were not generating enough revenue for the building&#39;s maintenance costs, however. The Pequot Commercial Club proposed converting the Cole Memorial Building into a movie theater, which would provide a steadier income. The club assumed full management in November 1939 and launched free movie screenings the following year. In 1941 the hall was modified into a first-rate cinema, with new projection equipment and cushioned chairs arranged in sloped auditorium seating. The debut movie in the refitted hall was One Foot in Heaven on December 9, 1941, followed the next week by The Maltese Falcon. Over the years the latest Hollywood movies would screen in Pequot Lakes just as they did in major cities around the nation.</p><br>
<p>Although tickets cost 12¢ or less for children and 35¢ or less for adults, the cinema proved to be a significant money-maker, bolstered by the growing numbers of summer tourists. The Commercial Club was able to self-fund maintenance and upgrades for the building while proceeds were channeled into community improvements. By mid-1953 the theater had generated $25,000 in profits that went toward a new medical clinic, street paving, the fire department, and local schools. Community groups continued to meet in the hall, and no longer had to pay any kind of rental fee.</p><br>
<h2>Later history</h2><br>
<p>The widespread adoption of television finally caused movie attendance to drop, and new local venues such as a high school auditorium reduced the Cole Memorial Buildings importance as an event space. The halls final film screening took place in August 1967. The year before a seniors club had been organized in the building, and they took the opportunity to repurpose it into a senior center. The sloping auditorium floor was removed and the stage area was converted into a kitchen and restrooms.</p><br>
<p>The basement remained largely disused for decades, but in 1997 the Pequot Lakes Historical Society organized and developed the lower level into a local history museum. Exhibits are specialized on the 1930s and 1940s, with displays on military service as well as period recreations of a local classroom, kitchen, bedroom, and general store. A display on the building&#39;s history as a movie theater includes original projection equipment and seating.</p><br>
<p>The park surrounding the building was originally much larger, with a baseball diamond to the north, but that parcel was sold off in 1983. In 2007 the historical society and the city government received a grant from the Minnesota Historical Society that allowed them to renovate the building&#39;s main floor. The hardwood floors were restored, new windows installed, interior walls painted, the kitchen improved, and an elevator installed. The building continues to be available for events.</p><br>

<p>The usual route to Punta Sulè starts from lago di Malciaussia and, after Pian Sulè, reaches the summit following the SW ridge of the mountain. While long (around 1,600 metres of vertical drop) this route does not require alpinistic skills Traverse from Punta Sulè to Monte Lera is considered an alpinistic route, evaluated of PD grade.</p><br>
<p>Lakeville Manor is a historic residential and institutional property at 12 Elm Street and 33 Sharon Road in the Lakeville village of Salisbury, Connecticut. Built in 1883, the property includes a fine Second Empire building originally housing a convent, and a school. Both buildings have been converted to conventional residential use. They were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Lakeville Manor stands south of the central portion of the village of Lakeville, on a large parcel bounded on the east by Sharon Road (Connecticut Route 41) and on the west by Elm Street. The main house faces east, but is set far west on the north side of the lot, while the former school building is set further east on the south side. The house is a large 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a mansard roof providing a full third floor. The central portion of the roof is topped by a square cupola, and the steep portions of the roof are studded with gabled dormers. The central bay of the front facade projects, rising to a bowed mansard with a round-arched dormer. A single-story porch extends across the front, with the main entrance at the center of the projecting section. The school building is a more modest 1-1/2 story with vernacular Victorian styling.</p><br>
<p>The main house was built 1883, originally housing St. Josephs Convent. The school was built about the same time, and was known as St. Marys Parish School. In 1923, the property was taken over by the Connecticut Council for Catholic Women, which operated it as a summer retreat until 1968. After standing vacant for a time, the building interiors were converted for use as apartments, losing the original finishes in the school, but retaining some in the main house. In 2010 the house was converted into condominiums, with the school undergoing a similar conversion later.</p><br>
<p>The Isaac Lawrence House is a historic house on Elm Street in the Canaan Village of North Canaan, Connecticut. Built about 1751 by one of the town&#39;s first settlers, the house has served as a residence and tavern, serving customers on the adjacent travel route. The property is also of archaeological significance, with historical artifacts dating to the 18th century. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Isaac Lawrence House is located just south of the village center of Canaan (not to be confused with the town of Canaan further south), on the west side of Elm Street (United States Route 7) just north of its crossing of the Blackberry River. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a side gable roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. The front facade faces east to the street, and is symmetrical, with a central entrance sheltered by a gable-roofed enclosed vestibule. The interior follows a center chimney plan, with the entry area including a winding paneled staircase, and parlors to either side of the chimney. The original kitchen extends behind the chimney, with a large fireplace and beehive oven. These rooms and others retain original woodwork.</p><br>
<p>North Canaan, originally part of the town of Canaan, was settled in the 1730s. Isaac Lawrence was among the first wave of settlers, and built this house in 1751. In addition to farming, Lawrence operated a tavern out of the house, where many local meetings were held. The opening of the Hartford-Albany Turnpike (United States Route 44, just to the north) in 1800 brought the tavern increased business. As of the propertys 1983 listing on the National Register, it was still in the hands of Lawrences descendants. Archaeological excavations conducted on the property in 1979 and 1980 established the presence of well-stratified historic artifacts from the period of initial settlement.</p><br>
<p>Lake Mallalieu is located in St. Croix County, Wisconsin just inside of North Hudson, Wisconsin. The man-made lake is 289 acres with a maximum depth of 17 feet. It is a flowage lake almost on the Minnesota border connected to both the Willow River and the St. Croix River.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>To understand how the man-make lake originated, we must understand its source, the Willow River. The Willow River flows into Lake Mallalieu, and similar to the other rivers in the area, is a product of the continental glaciation. At the end of the Ice Age, a mile-thick massive ice sheet spread into Wisconsin until about 10,000 years ago when the warm climate forced it to retreat, creating the Willow River.</p><br>
<p>The Willow River, which would eventually run into Lake Mallalieu, carved channels around the lake and formed high banks surrounding. After its foundational period, the Willow settled into what we see today. Vegetation stabilized the watershed, which reduced the erosion until the nineteenth century settlement.</p><br>
<h2>Early years</h2><br>
<p>The first settlers of Hudson, French-Canadians brothers-in-law Louis Massey and Peter Bouchea, found a place to call home at the mouth of the Willow in 1840. In 1848, the first dam and sawmill was built by James Purrington, which created a lake called Willow Pond. Settlement became more popular because of the steamboat and practical transportation provided by the nearby St. Croix River. In 1854, Caleb Greene built the second dam, known as “brush dam.” The dams were bought by D.A. Baldwin of the West Wisconsin Railroad in 1867 and then again by Comstock and Clark who made further improvements.</p><br>
<p>In 1867, Henry and William Montman built a brewery on the south shore of the Willow Pond. The brewery now would be located where the public boat launch is, and used the caves for aging the beer. After multiple owners, the brewery burned down in 1917, but was never rebuilt due to the prohibition.</p><br>
<p>In 1871, the railroad arrival made a drastic change for Hudson. The railroad was located on the cliffs hanging about the lake, and with the railroad and the rivers, it was an important spot for transportation and settlement.</p><br>
<h2>Middle Years</h2><br>
<p>In 1887, Willow Pond became what we know as Lake Mallalieu. During this time, Dr. Irving Wiltrout was building Hudson’s first hospital and in honor of him, the Hudson Star & Times wanted to name the lake “Lake Irving,” which the doctor declined and said, “I have named this lake in honor of Rev. William F. Mallalieu, D.D., L.L.D., Bishop of the Methodist church and a resident of New Orleans.”</p><br>
<p>In the 1890s, The Willow had been known from the earliest days as a fine trout stream, but a St. Paul group bought a tract of land along the river below Willow Falls and established the exclusive Willow River Club, which was fenced in and controlled by members. Local, Frank Wade, challenged this because he didn’t want his fishing curtailed. After being arrested for trespassing, he eventually won his case and it became issued that “the Willow River was a public, navigable stream, and the defendant was not guilty of catching the fish in question.” This led to free use of the lakes and rivers by the public.</p><br>
<p>On April 5, 1934 the Willow got its second big flood, washing out dams upstream. The debris and floodwaters cause severe damage on Mallalieu, such as the bridge collapsing, railroad trestle and the large dam on the St. Croix. Lake Mallalieu emptied into the St. Croix River. Today, we now see the new bridge that was built as a result of this flood as well as the new dams.</p><br>
<h2>Present</h2><br>
<p>During the late 1950s, Mallalieu started being recognized as an ideal and great place to live and raise a family. Prior, there had only been a few houses and cottages build on the lake. in the 1960s, large parcels started being divided into lots, and the building has continued since then until now, when essentially all the buildable sites are already in use.</p><br>
<p>Lake Mallalieu experienced a record flood in 1965 when the lake rose three to four feet over its normal level, covering parts of Riverside Drive almost 2 feet deep.</p><br>
<h2>Biology</h2><br>
<p>The fish found in the lake include Panfish, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass and Northern Pike. Invasive species noticed there are Curly-leaf Pondweed, Eurasion Watermilfoil, and Rusty Crayfish.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. James Patrick House is a historic house at 370 North Williams Drive in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Set on a steeply pitched lot on Mount Sequoyah, it is a basically linear single-story structure sited well away from the road to maximize its eastward view. It has a low-pitch roof and is finished in glass and brick. It is functionally divided by a carport near its center, with public rooms on one side and private ones the other. It was built in 1965-66 to a design by Ernie Jacks, who had previously worked with Edward Durell Stone. It is a distinctive local example of Mid-Century Modern architecture, in a neighborhood principally populated with more conventional vernacular buildings of the period.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<p>The Sigma Sigma-Delta Chi Fraternity House, also known as the Iowa House, is a historic building in Ames, Iowa, United States. It is a large 2½-story brick structure built in 1924. The building is capped with a hip roof that is intersected by steeply-pitched gables at a lower level. There are also wide eaves with exposed beams. A porte-cochère is located on the north side of the building, which is unique feature among the historic fraternity and sorority houses associated with Iowa State University. Architecturally, it is a combination of the American Craftsman, Tudor Revival, and classical features.</p><br>
<p>Sigma Sigma was a local fraternity founded in either 1907 or 1908 at what was then called Iowa State College. They grew in size and sought to become a national fraternity beginning in the 1920s. The effort went dormant while they built this building, but they took it up again in the 1930s. They reached nationalization in 1933 when they merged with Delta Chi. The fraternity remained active at ISU until 2001 when membership declined significantly and it became inactive. Delta Chi sold the building in 2006 and it was converted into a bed and breakfast. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<p>The van Harinxmakanaal is a major canal in western Frisland. It runs from the sea at Harlingen eastwards to Leeuwarden. Major places along the canal include Franeker, Dronrijp and Deinum. The canal is 37.5 kilometers long. It was named after Pieter Albert Vincent van Harinxma thoe Slooten in 1950 who was King&#39;s Commissioner to Friesland from 1909 to 1945. Prior to this date it was called Harlinger Trekvaart. However this was widened and deepened, and a few corners cut off in 1951. At Suawoude it joins the Prinses Margrietkanaal.</p><br>
<p>The lock Tsjerk Hiddessluizen situated at the connection to the Harlingen harbour maintains the water level in the canal. The canal water level is connected to the water system called Friese boezem, consisting of lakes, waterways and canals in Friesland.</p><br>
<p>The Braastad–Gossard Building, also known as the Gossard Building or Pioneer Square, is a commercial building located at 308 Cleveland Avenue in Ishpeming, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Frederick Braastad was born in 1847 in Gudbrandsdalen, Norway. He clerked in a store for five years before emigrating to the United States and settling in Marquette, Michigan in 1868. He moved around, clerking at other stores, before settling permanently in Ishpeming in 1873. He eventually opened his own meat market and general store in about 1877, at first with a series of partners, but eventually on his own.</p><br>
<p>In 1888, Braastad built a new two-story building, which forms the western part of the current structure, on this site. He moved his dry goods store into the new building. By 1903, Braastad was selling clothing, dry goods, groceries, and furniture out of the building. In 1903, Braastad hired builder J. Wahlman & Son to construct a three-story addition to the east side of the 1888 building. When that was completed, the same builder remodeled and reconstructed the original building, altering the facade and adding an additional floor to the top to bring it in line with the addition. The remodeling was completed in 1904.</p><br>
<p>Frederick Braastad died in 1917, and the store that bore his name declined, discontinuing grocery sales in 1919 and dry goods shortly after. It sold furniture into the 1920s, but went out of business sometime before 1925.</p><br>
<p>However, as the Braastad store declined, the building was being put to other uses. The city of Ishpeming purchased the building in 1920, specifically to entice a manufacturing firm into the city. The H. W. Gossard Company, manufacturer of corsets and brassieres, moved into the two upper floors of the building in April 1920. The Gossard plant began with about 75 workers, but slowly increased in size to about 500 workers in 1939, continuing operations even through the Great Depression.</p><br>
<p>By the late 1940s, the plant had over 600 workers, and remodeled the building to provide more space by raising the sloped roof and adding another floor atop the existing structure. In 1949, the workers at the Gossard plant struck for higher wages. The strike lasted almost 4 months, and resulted in roughly 5 to 10 cent per hour wage increases and a union shop. Employment at the plant in the mid 1950s at 650 workers, and then declined. Gossard closed the plant in 1976, with fewer than 200 workers employed.</p><br>
<p>After the Gossard plant closed, a local nonprofit group purchased and redeveloped the building to include a mixed-use development with retail on the first floor, renaming the building "Pioneer Square." In 1985, a new developer, Paul Arsenault, purchased the building. Arsenault remains the owner of what now is the "Gossard Building."</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Braastad–Gossard Building is a four-story painted red sandstone-trimmed brick building. The building has a 150-foot long main facade facing Cleveland Street, which is divided into six three-window wide bays by raised piers. The piers terminate at a brick frieze spanning the building&#39;s width. Rock-face sandstone beltcourses also span the building at the second and third-story window-lintel levels. The primary entrance, added in 1948, is in the third bay from the west end. An older entrance at the far left is outlined by original rock-face sandstone piers. The windows are generally in groups of three square-head window openings in the first three stories within each of the six bays. The ground-level sets have a slightly wider central window. Two low horizontal windows with clear glass centers are oat the fourth floor level.</p><br>
<p>The side of the building facing Second Street and the rear facade contain square-head double-hung windows with sandstone slab sills and low segmental arches, but lack the raised piers found in the front. The remaining side of the building has no windows. A one-story flat-roof brick garage is located at the rear.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the building is divided in half by a two-foot thick brick fire wall, which was the east wall of the 1888 part of the building. A fire door is located at a single opening on each floor. The maple floors remain in place throughout the building, and some of the ornamental pressed metal paneling installed on walls and ceiling during the 1903-04 remodeling still remains. The first floor has been renovated into an interior mall with office and shop spaces. The second and third stories have been renovated into office lease spaces of various sizes. The fourth floor is unused except for some storage.</p><br>
<p>The Barkhamsted Lighthouse was a historical community located in what is now Peoples State Forest in Barkhamsted, Connecticut. Set on a terrace above the eastern bank of the West Branch Farmington River, it was in the 18th and 19th centuries a small village of economically marginalized mixed Native American, African American, and white residents. It was given the name "lighthouse" because its lights acted as a beacon marking the north-south stage road that paralleled the river. The archaeological remains of the village site were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991 as Lighthouse Archeological Site .</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The area known as the Lighthouse had its beginnings in the mid-18th century with the purchase of land by James Chaugham and later his son Samuel, a Narragansett from Block Island. Chaugham was said in early accounts of the community to have married Molly (or Mary) Barber, a white woman whose early life is absent from historical documents. The property was located in a rugged area of northern Connecticut that was then wilderness, with an old Native American trail running along the river. When this trail was improve into a stagecoach route in the late 18th century, the small settlement was dubbed the "lighthouse" by southbound coach drivers, as its lights indicated that the coach was nearing New Hartford, a few miles to the south. The community was eventually abandoned in the 1860s, its residents apparently moving to seek better economic opportunities.</p><br>
<p>The first organized history of the community was written in 1952 by Lewis Sprague Mills, a local educator and historian. Archaeological investigations of the site were first conducted on the settlement site in 1986 by Kenneth Feder. The site is located on a terrace on the shoulder of Ragged Mountain, a hill in Peoples State Forest. Excavations have uncovered foundational remains of ten buildings, four charcoal kilns, a well, and a small cemetery. Stone for the building foundations was apparently quarried directly nearby. None of the surviving elements give any indication of having been built using dimensional lumber that was used in more conventional communities. Also found at the site were quantities of typical household items, including a large number of ceramic fragments.</p><br>
<p>The site is accessible via a short hiking trail from East River Road in Peoples State Forest, and has been designated a state archaeological site.</p><br>
<p>The Shanaska Creek Bridge, also called Washington Park Bridge and officially Bridge 4846, is an iron 8 panel pin-connected Pratt through truss bridge which was erected in 1875 over the Blue Earth River in the USA State of Minnesota and moved twice since. It was built near Vernon Center, Minnesota by Soulerin, James, and Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.</p><br>
<p>In 1929, it was placed over Minnesota State Highway 22 to carry Le Sueur County Road 102. when it was listed at that location on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.</p><br>
<p>It was moved again in 1984 to its present location where it carries a hiking and bicycle path over Shanaska Creek in Lake Washington Park near Kasota, Minnesota.</p><br>
<p>In 2011, Randy Walker covered the bridge in colorful fabric to create a temporary art installation called Passage.</p><br>
<p>The Hospital of the Holy Innocents, or the Melandry was a Leper Hospital on South Park common in Lincoln, England. It was founded in the late 11th or early 12th century either by Bishop Remigius or Henry I. It was possibly the first Leper Hospital to be founded in England. In 1422 the confraternity of Burton Lazars was granted the Hospital of the Holy Innocents. At the time of Dissolution of the Monasteries, the Hospital, together with the Burton Lazars hospital were purchased by William Cecil, 1st Baron Burghley</p><br>
<h2>The Lincoln Melandry hoard of coins of Henry I</h2><br>
<p>At the start of 1972 a hoard of silver pennies of Henry I were found during building work within the area of enclosure of the Melandry. A total of 744 coins and fragments were found, which at the time constituted the largest hoard of coins of Henry I. Examples of coins of Henry I, which are normally very poorly struck, included many very rare examples from the later period of Henry I reign. A few coins were discovered initially and reported to the Lincoln City and County Museum and a few days later the bulk of the hoard was dislodged from the side of the foundation trench, and there was evidence that the hoard had been wrapped in a cloth or linen bag. Further coins were found in excavations by the Museum and the Lincoln Archaeological Trust. Following a Treasure Trove inquest, held in the Lincoln Stonebow and Guildhall, the coins were split between the City and County Museum, who were awarded 470 coins, and the British Museum the remaining coins. The British Museum was supposed to have published the hoard, but this has not happened but a listing of the coins in the City and County Museum (now the Collection) has been published</p><br>
<p>Vincent Lugo Park is a park located at 300 West Wells St., San Gabriel, CA 91776. It is the largest park in the city of San Gabriel, California. Park grounds include lighted youth baseball diamond, youth multi-purpose athletic field, Laguna de San Gabriel Nautical  Playground, picnic tables, barbecues, restrooms and the Girl Scout House.</p><br>
<h2>La Laguna</h2><br>
<p>One feature of Vincent Lugo Park is a children&#39;s playground, sometimes referred to as "La Laguna de San Gabriel" or "Monster Park." La Laguna was created by Mexican-American artist Benjamin Dominguez. The park’s play structures include 14 "friendly looking cement sea creatures rising out of the sand for children to play on." The sand-filled lagoon includes Minnie the whale, Stella the starfish, Ozzie the octopus, and Flipper, Speedy and Peanut, three colorful dolphins. The playground was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 11, 2017.</p><br>
<h2>Park History</h2><br>
<p>In 1965, Vincent Lugo was parks supervisor for the City of San Gabriel, and was chiefly responsible for converting a city landfill into the San Gabriel Municipal Park – lauded for transforming trash into beauty. Because of his contributions to San Gabriel as a city employee for over 30 years, and because of his vision to beautify those nine acres of city dump, Vincent Lugo was remembered in a 1988 re-dedication of Municipal Park, which was renamed Vincent Lugo Park in his honor.</p><br>
<p>In 2006, city park renovation plans sought to demolish the structures, deeming them safety hazards. But in the years since, locals organized as the Friends of La Laguna have fought for the playground’s preservation and renovation.</p><br>
<p>In 2008, Friends of La Laguna commissioned a. This assessment was funded through a Third Round California Cultural and Historic Endowment Grant and funding from the Annenberg Foundation. The assessment was honored with awards from the LA Conservancy and the California Preservation Foundation in 2009.</p><br>
<p>In 2009, La Laguna playground was successfully nominated to the California Register of Historic Places. It was also designated a local landmark for the City of San Gabriel.</p><br>
<p>The park was closed for renovation for almost 18 months in 2011-2012.</p><br>
<p>As a result of the work of the Friends of La Laguna, the State Historic Resources Commission nominated the playground for the National Register of Historic Places in 2016. “It is historic,” said City Manager Steve Preston in a statement. “It is a cultural landscape, and it is an active, living playground.”</p><br>
<p>The Melrose Heights–Oak Lawn–Fairview Historic District is a predominantly residential historic district in eastern Columbia, South Carolina. It encompasses much of the neighborhood of Melrose Heights, and is formed out of three separate subdivisions that were developed as a streetcar suburb originally outside the city boundary in the first half of the 20th century. The district is about 155 acre in size, and has more than 600 residences, many in architectural styles popular in the first half of the 20th century. It is bounded on the east by Woodrow Street, the north by Gervais Street and Trenholm Road, the south by Millwood Avenue and Michigan Street, and the east by Butler and Princeton Streets and Maiden Lane. The area was originally farmland owned by members of the locally prominent Powell family. Although it features modest houses in a wide variety of styles, it has a particular concentration of "airplane" bungalow cottages.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<p>The Litchfield–South Roads Historic District encompasses part of the traditional town center of Harwinton, Connecticut. Settled in the second quarter of the 18th century, and centered at the junction of Connecticut Route 4 with North and South Roads, the town center includes a variety of mainly 19th century residential architecture, several churches, and municipal buildings. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Harwinton was first settled in 1737, out of lands previously assigned to Hartford and Windsor. The town center arose on what is now Route 4, the main east-west route between Hartford and Litchfield, where it crosses a significant local north–south route (now North and South Roads). The town remained agricultural through the 19th century, its economy not industrialized due to a lack of railroad connections and suitable water resources. In the early 20th century, it joined the trend of other communities in northwestern Connecticut in the rise of second homes for city dwellers. One of these, William McConway of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, had a series of fine quarry-stone walls built along South Road.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is roughly T-shaped, extending along Route 4 (Litchfield Road west of the main junction, Burlington Road east of it) between Birge Park Road and Harwinton Heights Road. It extends south on South Road to Village Lane. Most of its buildings are residential, set with ample spacing and setback from the roads. There are four churches in the district, as well as the site of the town&#39;s first cemetery and meetinghouse; the latter was set directly in the central junction. Most of the buildings in the district date to the 19th century, although the Classical Revival library is early 20th century, and the Congregational Church is a simplified recreation of an 1808 sanctuary which burned in 1949. The only significant modern buildings are associated with the Roman Catholic church complex at the western end of the district.</p><br>
<p>Lake Darlot is an ephemeral lake in the centre of Western Australia, lying approximately 50 km east-north-east of Leinster, and 125 km north of Leonora in the Goldfields-Esperance region. Its surface elevation is 434 metres above mean sea-level.</p><br>
<h2>Discovery</h2><br>
<p>Lake Darlot was discovered in March 1892 during the second part of The Elder Scientific Exploring Expedition 1891-1892. The 1891 phase of the expedition led by David Lindsay had been recalled by its benefactor Sir Thomas Elder, so in February 1892 Lindsay sent his second in command Lawrence Wells on a smaller expedition to explore the area east of the Murchison River in Western Australia. During this expedition Wells (a surveyor) found and named Lake Way, Lake Darlot and Lake Wells. Lake Darlot was named after a well known squatter of the Murchison area, Lou Darlot.</p><br>
<p>The Low House is a historic house on Laurel Way Extension in Norfolk, Connecticut. Built in 1920, it is a prominent local example of Georgian Revival architecture, designed by the New York architect Alfredo S.G. Taylor. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, for its association with the architect.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Low House stands in a small residential area east of Norfolk&#39;s village center, down a private lane extending south from Laurel Way Extension. It consists of two rectangular 2-1/2 story wood frame structures in the Georgian style, joined at right angles at one corner. Each section is covered by a gabled roof and is finished in wooden shingles. The facades are adorned with pilasters at regular intervals, and there are modillion blocks in the eaves. A single-story porch in the shape of a circle segment is located at the crook of the L, supported by paired round columns. Another open porch extends behind the western section.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1920 for the Low family, who were friends with the Nobles who lived next door. Taylor was known to the Nobles, and designed their house as well. Both houses are finely detailed examples of Taylor&#39;s application of the Georgian Revival to modern housing demands.</p><br>
<p>The Caleb Martin House is a historic house at 42 Mill Pond Road in Bethlehem, Connecticut. With its oldest portion dating to 1730, it is one of the community&#39;s oldest buildings, exhibiting a wealth of construction detail through its 18th-century transformation from a small single-pile house to a full saltbox. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Caleb Martin House stands on 57 acre southwest of the village center of Bethlehem, at the end of Mill Pond Road, a short street off Connecticut Route 132. It is set east of the Mill Pond, an old impoundment on the Weekeepeemee River. It is a 2-1/2 story timber framed structure, with a side gable roof, large off-center chimney, clapboarded exterior, and rubblestone foundation. The house has a saltbox profile, with the rear roof extending down to the first floor. The second floor hangs over the first in front, as does the main roof over the second floor. The interior follows a typical Georgian center chimney plan, with a small front vestibule that includes a narrow winding stair, and parlor spaces on either side of the chimney. The kitchen extends across the rear of the main block, with a large fireplace and beehive oven; a second oven is also found in the basement level of the chimney.</p><br>
<p>The oldest portion of the house, built in 1730, is a three-bay section with the main chimney. By 1745 the house had been extended to include the full five-bay facade and the leanto section in the rear. Although the house has since been extended by additions in the late 19th and 20th centuries, the main block has been well cared for, retaining either original materials or carefully matched replacements. Also of note is that the house stands on land that is substantially the same as its original 1724 land grant; only a few acres have been subdivided from it. Caleb Martin, the house&#39;s original builder, was a descendant of the original proprietors of Woodbury, of which Bethlehem was a part until 1787.</p><br>
<p>Wilmarth School is a school building in Ashland, Wisconsin which was built in 1895. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It is noted for its architecture&mdash;the design of Henry Wildhagen&mdash;which is of the 19th- and 20th-century revival styles.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story-plus-basement cream brick and brownstone building. It has a center "chisel-roof" tower containing the front entrance, which has a Palladian-like sidelights and stairlight. It has a stone panel with the school&#39;s name and three windows over a center arch. It has two large cream brick chimneys with corbelled caps and a hipped roof.</p><br>
<p>Wildhagen also designed three other schools in Ashland, also NRHP-listed: Ashland Middle School (1904), Beaser School (1899), and Ellis School (1900).</p><br>
<p>The Gabriel Richard Building, also known as the Weil and Company Building, is high-rise located at 305 Michigan Avenue in Downtown Detroit, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1897, Moe C Weil moved from Cincinnati to Detroit and opened a furniture store known as Weil and Company. Their first store was downtown on Woodward Avenue. In 1914, Weil entered into an agreement with David Stott and the Stott Realty Company to lease this building, which Stott would construct specifically for their use. Stott hired the Chicago architecture firm of Marshall & Fox to design the building. Construction began in 1914, and was completed in 1915. Weil and Company opened their new store in this building in Novenmber 1915. The Stott Realty Company retained ownership, with Weil leasing the building.</p><br>
<p>Moe Weil died in 1920, leaving the store to his wife Hattie. Hattie died in 1930 and left the company to her son Victor and daughter Florence, with the stipulation that Victor continue to run the business. Victor, however, died in 1943 while serving in the United States Air Corps, and Weil and Company soon went out of business.</p><br>
<p>In 1945, the Stott Realty Company sold the building to the nearby St. Aloysius Roman Catholic Church. The church renamed the building the Gabriel Richard Building, after pioneering Detroiter Father Gabriel Richard. In 1948, the church turned the building over to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Detroit for use as offices. The church was in an expansion phase after World War II, growing from 800,000 Catholics in 1945 to 1.3 million in 1960. The Catholic Family Center was one of the first organizations located in the Gabriel Richard building, and much of the remainder of the building was leased to other secular tenants, including a credit association, law office, and Michigan Bell Telephone. As the Archdiocese grew, the number of Catholic offices in the building increased until by 1968 the Archdiocese occupied all of the upper floors, including the Parish Life and Services Department, Christian Services Department, Catholic Youth Organization, the Communications Department, and the Information Technology Department.</p><br>
<p>However, the number of Catholics declined starting in the 1970s, and in 2015 the Archdiocese moved its offices to a smaller building and sold the Gabriel Richard Building. Developer Joe Barbat purchased the building. Barbat plans to undertake a $6.5 million renovation to turn the building into about 110 multifamily residential units. The building will open as a residential apartment building known as the &#39;Gabriel Houze in late 2017.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Gabriel Richard Building is a ten-and-a-half-story tall Chicago Style commercial building with Classical Revival decorative elements. The building is clad with white terra cotta, and has a tripartite overall design, with a two-and-a-half-story tall base, a six-story tall main section, and a two-story tall top with surmounting parapet wall. The building faces two main streets: Michigan Avenue and Washington Boulevard. The main facades are three and five bays wide, with bays separated by vertical piers and triple window openings on each floor. The facades have identical terra cotta Classical Revival decorations such as garlands egg and dart molding and keystones.</p><br>
<p>The two-and-a-half-story tall base of the building contains one-and-a-half-story tall storefronts with newer aluminum and glass-framed windows installed and canopies overhead. The center bay on the Michigan Avenue side has a projecting cornice across the top of the storefront opening. The right-hand bay contains the entrance to the upper floors, with another building entrance in the left-hand bay. The Washington Avenue elevation also has entryways in the left- and right-hand bays. The second floor above the storefronts on each side contains three one-over-one double-hung windows.</p><br>
<p>The central six-story section of the building is demarcated by projecting bands at the sill lines of the third and ninth floor windows. The eighth-floor window openings have segmental-arch heads which emphasize the top of the section. The top two floors contain more decorative elements. The piers between the bays contain a raised vertical line of flowers down the center of the pier. The top of the building is decorated with wave and egg and dart molding. The piers end in a terra cotta merlon extending above the wall.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the building has been remodeled multiple times. The first floor contains commercial spaces and an entrance lobby to the upper floors. The lobby has marble tile floors and wainscot with painted walls above. The upper floors contain corridors with offices. The basement contains an unused staircase with a small section of metal railing supported by fluted newel posts resembling classical columns which is apparently original to the building.</p><br>
<p>The Walnut Grove Japanese-American Historic District is a 5 acre designated USA Historic District in Walnut Grove, California. The bulk of Walnut Groves Japantown was built in 1915–16 following the 1915 fire which destroyed Walnut Groves Chinatown. Japantown was depopulated during the forced incarceration of Japanese and Japanese-Americans following the issuance of Executive Order 9066 in 1942, and was re-filled by Filipino and Mexican laborers, who took over work in local orchards and farms during the war. Although the original residents returned to Walnut Grove following the end of World War II, most left within a few years, and the district, with some exceptions, to this day retains the original architecture and style dating back to the 1916 reconstruction.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Following the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882, the pace of immigration from Japan increased rapidly. In Walnut Grove, the first Japanese-owned business (a noodle shop) was started in 1896 to serve local immigrants. The local Japanese immigrants called the area around Walnut Grove Kawashimo ("downriver"), in reference to travel through the Sacramento Delta area. The earliest Japantown in Walnut Grove was established in the northern section of the existing Walnut Grove Chinatown. On October 7, 1915, fire swept through the Chinatown district in Walnut Grove, including Japantown, and shifting winds were credited with confining the damage to the Dye Brothers-owned "Oriental quarter" and not destroying the remainder of the town.</p><br>
<p>Local residents of Japanese ancestry rebuilt Kawashimo one block north in 1916, on land owned by Alex Brown, a prominent local landowner and banker. Unlike other local nihonmachi, Asians were credited with designing and building the new Kawashimo, During the 1920s, Kawashimo developed into a local hub for Japanese residents in the Sacramento River Delta area, with its commercial district serving over 100 local families by the 1930s.</p><br>
<p>Nearly 400 American-born children lived in the area by 1920, with some attending a local Japanese language school; California allowed the establishment of segregated schools in 1921, legitimizing the development of "Oriental Schools" in Florin, Courtland, Isleton, and Walnut Grove. Schools were not officially desegregated until 1947.</p><br>
<p>The district was forcibly depopulated in the wake of Executive Order 9066 and repopulated with Filipino and Mexican laborers during World War II. Three buildings were destroyed by fire during the war and not replaced, and some of those sites later hosted community gardens. After the end of the war, many of the original residents returned but most did not remain in Walnut Creek, attracted by opportunities in nearby cities. Several businesses remained under the ownership and operation of their founding families as of 1990, including Kawamura Barber Shop and Hayashi Market. The historic district remains architecturally accurate to period photographs dating from the 1920s.</p><br>

<p>Lake Osceola is located in University of Miami&#39;s campus and students have been walking past it on their daily walk to class since 1947. Located between the freshwater systems and the Biscayne Bay, the lake serves as a canal between the two bodies of water. Its average depth is a mere 1 meter and holds an impressive amount of jumping fish. Lake Osceola is a man-made lake, but because Lake Osceola is connected to other bodies of water, wildlife began to inhabit the body of water naturally. Due to this connection, the wildlife that inhabits the lake is constantly changing. Just on the campus students faculty and others are able to experience seeing a number of endangered animals such as manatees, crocodiles and alligators. Roughly ten years ago the specimens found in the lake have been more diverse but several recent disturbances such as construction have diminished the growth. Today, one might find a sample containing mud, algae and dead insects. In the year 2016 a large pedestrian bridge was built across the lake further disturbing the ecosystem.</p><br>
<p>In the early 1990s, the lake was developing the problem of accumulating too much algae at the bottom and being decomposed by bacteria which ended up consuming all the oxygen on the lakes floor. This resulted in the death of many fish and an unpleasant odor. After raising concerns by university officials, they devised the plan to insert a fountain in the middle of the lake which also created its beautiful, recognizable view. Bubblers scattered across the lake have also been helpful in fixing this problem. A few years will be needed to truly stabilize the ecosystem in the water&#39;s depths.</p><br>
<p>University of Miami students care about their beautiful environment and every April for Earth Week, students gather around the lake giving it a collective "hug" and join hands all around the perimeter of the water.</p><br>
<p>According to UM’s Office of Student Affairs, swimming in the lake is prohibited. Punishments can include expulsion. This tough stance is most likely due, not to alligators, but to Chad Meredith’s death in 2001. The 18-year-old Miami student drowned while attempting a swim across the lake with two of his fraternity brothers.</p><br>
<p>The Mead Camp is a historic summer house on the shore of Doolittle Lake in northeastern Norfolk, Connecticut. It was built in 1930 to a design by New York architect Alfredo S.G. Taylor, and is one of the most substantial of his summer house designs. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Mead Camp is located at the southwestern end of Doolittle Lake, an exclusive summer retreat area in rural northeastern Norfolk. Tower Hill Road, a private lane, provides access to this and several other private summer properties that face the lake. The Mead Camp main house is a 2-1/2 story structure, finished in stone and stucco. It is oriented with its long side facing the lake, and has a main block with a series of extensions to the south that reduce in width and height, ending in a covered porch with stone posts. Its most distinctive feature is a three-story stone tower, with a hip roof topped by a pyramidal roof.</p><br>
<p>The land on which the camp stands was originally part of a large landholding of the Benedict family, prominent farmers in northern Norfolk. In the late 19th century this area began to be developed as a summer resort area after the railroad arrived in Norfolk in 1871, and Doolittle Lake was developed as a colony of exclusive private retreats. This camp was built in 1930 to a design by Alfredo S.G. Taylor, an architect based in New York City who summered in Norfolk. Taylor is credited with the design of more than thirty distinctive buildings in Norfolk. He designed six camps in the Doolittle Lake area, of which this is one of the most substantial.</p><br>
<p>The Merritt Beach & Son Building is a historic commercial building at 30 Bridge Street in New Milford, Connecticut. Built in 1873, it is one of the town&#39;s oldest surviving commercial buildings. It was built for Merritt Beach & Son, a lumber and hardware merchant that is one of its oldest continuously operating businesses . The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Merritt Beach & Son Building stands just outside New Milfords main downtown business district, on the west side of railroad tracks and the south side of Bridge Street (United States Routes 7 and 202). It is a three-story brick building with Italianate styling. Its front facade is five bays wide, with a gap between the right two bays and those to the left. Windows on the upper floors are topped by bracketed segmented-arch hoods, and a single-story porch flat-roof porch extends across the first floor, supported by square posts with simple balustrades between. An elaborate bracketed and dentillated cornice crowns the building. To the main blocks rear area series of additions that are mainly lumber sheds that have been readapted for other uses.</p><br>
<p>The firm of Canfield and Beach began business in New Milford in 1857 as a lumber concern. After Canfield withdrew from the business in 1866, it was run by a succession of members of the Beach and Barlow families, and was in 1992 the town&#39;s oldest continuously operating business. It built this building in 1873 to house its hardware store, a tobacco storage warehouse on the second floor, and a public meeting hall on the third. The firm operated on these premises until 1977. It is the only surviving commercial building from that period to survive in the town.</p><br>
<p>Bandshell Park, also known as City Park and Music Pavilion, is located in Ames, Iowa, United States. It is a nationally recognized historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. The park, located to the east of the central business district, was gift to the city in 1884 from the C&NW Land Company. The full city block was the first park established in Ames.</p><br>
<p>The first bandstand was the wooden structure that was built at the end of the 19th century. It was replaced by the present band shell in 1935. The Modern Movement structure was designed by Grover M. Pratt, and architect who also a member of the faculty at Iowa State College. The contractor was Fred Fisher of Ames, and J. R. Jones constructed the copper roof. Other historic resources in the park include a concrete bench (c. 1935), the pedestrian paths, and a vehicular drive that serves the band shell. There is also a playground apparatus in the park, but because of its more recent construction it is not considered a historic object.</p><br>
<p>Old Town Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Ames, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. The district is a residential area located north of the central business district. Between the two is a "civic corridor" made up of government buildings, churches and fraternal organizations. The earlier residences here were built of brick, but from about 1890 to 1910 they are all of wood construction. Brick reappears in 1910, but as a secondary building material. The houses are from one to two stories in height. They reflect the Late Victorian styles as well as the Colonial Revival styles of the early 20th century. The houses generally have a detached garage behind the house, facing an alley. The Prof. J.L. Budd, Sarah M., and Etta Budd House  is individually listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>Most of the houses are single-family, but a few have been converted to multi-family dwellings. There are also nine apartment buildings and a condominium building located here. All date from the 1960s onward, and do not contribute to the historic nature of the district. They are generally two to three stories tall, but the tallest is five stories. They are large boxy buildings, except the most recent one (1997), which reflects the district&#39;s architectural heritage. First Church of Christ Scientist, a frame structure built in 1938, is also a contributing property in the district.</p><br>
<p>The Laboratory of Mechanics, formerly known as Engineering Hall, is a historic building on the campus of Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa, United States. The two-story, brick structure with a mansard roof is a simplified version of the Second Empire style. It features a three-story tower with a mansard roof at the main entry. The original building was "L" shaped, designed by J.B. Ballinger, and built by V. Tomlinson. Its first addition was designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Foster & Liebbe, and completed in 1885 by Tomlinson. Other additions were completed in 1933 and 1997.</p><br>
<p>The building originally housed Iowa State Agricultural Colleges Department of Mechanical and Civil Engineering. It was remodeled into a laboratory building in 1907. The building currently houses the Architecture Department, Engineering Administration, Faculty Senate, IT Services CIO, and Mechanical Engineering. Its historical significance is derived from its being the universitys first engineering building and its survival as the oldest instructional building on campus. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>Coalbrookdale Institute is a former library and scientific institute in Coalbrookdale, Shropshire, England. Dating from the mid-19th century it is now used as a youth hostel. The building is a Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Coalbrookdale Literary and Scientific Institution was formed in 1853 supported by the Coalbrookdale Company. The Institute was commissioned to provide a home for the institution&#39;s library and to be a meeting venue. The cost of the building was met by the Coalbrookdale Company and the building was designed by the works manager of the Coalbrookdale Company, Charles Crooke.</p><br>
<p>Opened in May 1859 the institute was used as a venue for lectures and also was the home the Coalbrookdale School of Art. In 1899 the Literary and Scientific Institution merged with the Coalbrookdale Social Club and the institute became a base for outdoor activities as well as the existing technical and arts schools.</p><br>
<p>In 1928 the institute was purchased by Shropshire County Council who relocated the technical and art colleges to the Walker Technical College in Wellington and made the institute a venue for adult education.</p><br>
<p>During the second half of the 20th century the institute closed but with the creation of the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust in 1968 there was interest in developing the institute as a youth hostel, a plan that was completed in 1980 with YHA opening the building as a hostel.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The institute is a two-storeyed building built of blue bricks produced in the Coalbrookdale Company&#39;s own brickworks at Lightmoor. The brickwork is picked out with yellow brick dressings and has three flat gables with a Mansard roof. When built there was a pitched roof and the gables topped with pediments with "Literary and Scientific Institute" in raised lettering across the frieze but these features were removed in the 1920s. The style of the building was described contemporaneously as Tudor or Tudor Gothic.</p><br>
<p>The Food Sciences Building, formerly known as Dairy Industry Building, is a historic building on the campus of Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa, United States. The two-story, Bedford stone structure was designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Proudfoot, Rawson & Souers. J. and W. A. Elliott Construction completed it in 1928. Additions to the original building were completed in 1962, 1991, and 1993. It was listed, along with its courtyard sculptures, on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Christian Petersen Courtyard Sculptures</h2><br>
<p>The building itself is not as significant as the Depression era artwork contained within it. Christian Petersen, a Danish immigrant, designed and completed the nine bas reliefs from 1934 to 1935 as part of the Public Works of Art Project (PWPA). Two plaster-cast panels are located in the foyer. One depicts a women from biblical times churning butter in a goatskin bag hung from a tree, and the other depicts an American pioneer women using a dash churn, an early American invention. They were completed in 1934.</p><br>
<p>The seven courtyard bas reliefs were designed in an Iowa City workshop, and the terra cotta panels were created using a kiln designed by Paul E. Cox, a professor of ceramic engineering at what was then Iowa State College. The use of terra cotta for the panels was rare by the 1930s. The central panel depicts three Jersey cows and a bull located above the basin of a semicircular double-tiered fountain that flows into a reflecting pool. The panels on the left depict the early American era of hand milking, transporting the raw milk by wagon to the market, separating milk, and butter churning. The panels on the right depict the modern (1934) dairy plant at Iowa State. They include scenes of mechanical milking machines, a "Babcock" testing machine and a power centrifugal separator, and equipment for present-day pasteurizing, cooling, and cheesemaking. Professor Martin Mortensen, who was the head of the Dairy Industry department, assisted with the portrayal of dairy technology. Professor Maurice Hanson of the landscape architecture department designed the gravel walkways and plantings in the courtyard.</p><br>
<p>The PWPA in Iowa was directed by the regionalist painter Grant Wood. Petersen was the only sculptor in the Iowa program. He became the sculptor-in-residence at the university, and his art is found mainly in Iowa. The sculptures themselves are rare examples of federally subsidized art on a Midwestern college campus. PWPA sculptures are generally found in large cities on both the east and west coasts.</p><br>
<p>The Old Deanery, Lincoln was the residentery house of the Dean of Lincoln. It was a spacious building set around a courtyard The Deanery is thought to have been started in 1254 by Richard de Gravesend, who became Dean in that year and Bishop of Lincoln four years later</p><br>
<p>The hall stood on the north side oc the court. The great kitchen, the buttery and other offices stood in the sames range of buildings. They were extensively damaged during the English Civil War and rebuilt after 1660. The southern entrance tower or Flemyng tower was built by Dr Robert Flemyng and his arms were on both the north and south fronts of the tower.</p><br>
<p>The Deanery was pulled down in 1847 and replaced by the present building which was to become the Cathedral School and later the Minster School. In 2017 plans to convert the building into a visitor and education centre for Lincoln Cathedral were announced,</p><br>
<h2>The Works Chantry</h2><br>
<p>The Old Deanery was bounded on the west by the Works Chantry. This was a medieval building which housed a college of four priests who sang masses for the souls of benefactors who had made donations towards the fabric of Lincoln Cathedral. Most of the building, which stood round a courtyard, was demolished in the early part of the 19th. century to give a better view of the cathedral. Fragments of the chapel survive facing the Eastgate.</p><br>
