<p>The Battle Mountain Sanitarium was a division of the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers  located in Hot Springs, South Dakota. Established by law in 1902 and opened in 1907, it was unique among the facilities of the NHDVS, a precursor of todays United States Department of Veterans Affairs , in that it was strictly a medical facility with no residential components beyond its treatment facilities. It was founded to treat former soldiers suffering from musculo-skeletal problems that were believed to be treatable by the regions mineral springs, and for conditions such as tuberculosis whose treatment was improved by the thin dry air. The facilities built for the sanitarium are in an architecturally distinctive Romanesque and Mission Revival style, and now form the centerpiece of the Black Hills Health Care facility, operated by the VA. Most of the complex site was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2011 for its architecture and history.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Battle Mountain Sanitarium campus is located on the northeast side of Hot Springs, on 68 acre (reduced from the original more than 100) set on a bluff overlooking the Fall River. The grounds, laid out in the early 20th century, were designed by landscape architect George Kessler of Kansas City, Missouri, and the original buildings were designed by Thomas Rogers Kimball of Omaha, Nebraska. Kimball&#39;s buildings are built out of locally quarried pink sandstone, and are a distinctive blend of the Mission Revival and the Richardsonian Romanesque, which were popular styles in Hot Springs at the time. The unique combination of materials, design and setting give the complex a striking appearance. The main building has a circular central structure with spoke-like wings radiating away.</p><br>
<p>The city of Hot Springs developed in the 1880s as a resort community, with visitors drawn to the restorative and curative properties of its mineral springs. Local citizens and political leaders lobbied the federal government for the placement of a branch of the NHDVS. Congress authorized its establishment in 1902, and one of the local spring operators agreed to supply the facility with water from its springs. Ground was broken on the site, and it opened for its first patients in 1907. From its inception, it served as a treatment facility for former soldiers whose conditions were thought to be treatable either by consuming or bathing in the waters of the hot springs. It was also considered a good place for the treatment of tuberculosis, although its facilities as designed were less than ideal for this purpose. In 1930 the facility was transition to the VA, and was gradually transformed into a more general-purpose medical facility. Some of its facilities, including some of its tuberculosis wards, were demolished.</p><br>
<p>Toowoomba Grammar School buildings are a heritage-listed pair of school buildings  at Toowoomba Grammar School at 24-60 Margaret Street, East Toowoomba, Toowoomba, Toowoomba Region, Queensland, Australia. They were designed by Willoughby Powell and built from 1875 to 1940s. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Toowoomba Grammar School was the third Grammar School to be constituted under the Grammar Schools Act 1860-1864 following the establishment of Ipswich Grammar School (1863) and Brisbane Grammar School (1869). The foundation stone of the school house was laid by the Hon Charles Lilley on the 7 August 1875 and the school was officially opened on the 1 February 1877 by the Hon James Taylor, Chairman of the Board of Trustees.</p><br>
<p>Toowoomba citizens took the first steps to establish a local Grammar School in January 1874 when a letter was sent to the Colonial Secretary, HH Massie, seeking approval for the project and a subscription list was opened in the Darling Downs Gazette. More than £2700 was raised within weeks from both large and small donations, securing a government grant of £5333 and a loan of £2000.</p><br>
<p>The Board of Trustees, elected during June 1874, selected the Old Queens Park as the site for the school. Thirteen acres of this 50 acre site was granted by the government and the remainder was secured by the Trustees at 10 pounds an acre as part of the government endowment. The initial board consisted of seven members, three subscribers representatives; William Graham MLA, George Henry Davenport and Samuel George Stephens and four Government representatives: James Taylor MLC, John Frederick McDougall MLC, Gilbert Elliot and Charles James Anderson.</p><br>
<p>On the 21 October 1874 architects were invited to submit designs for the proposed Grammar School and a premium of £50 and second prize of £25 were offered. The proposed building was not to exceed £5000 in cost and was to house one large school room, at least 4 classrooms, dormitories for 30-40 boarders, quarters for the headmaster and his family, toilets, bathrooms and servants quarters. A terrace was to be built in front of the main facade and future extensions were to be indicated.</p><br>
<p>The winning design "Veritas" was by the Brisbane architect Willoughby Powell, then a draftsman in the Queensland Public Works Department and previously in the employ of Richard Gailey. Powell moved to Toowoomba to supervise the construction of the school buildings and practiced there until 1877. During this period he designed a variety of buildings including churches, residences and a flour mill. Powell had a further impact on Toowoomba when in 1899 he won the competition for the design of a new Toowoomba Town Hall, the construction of which was supervised by J Marks and Sons.</p><br>
<p>Separate tenders were called in January 1877 for the erection of a lodge, gymnasium, stables and entrance gates designed by Powell. These structures were subsequently erected at the cost of £530. The main entrance to the school was at the corner of Herries and Mary Street.</p><br>
<p>The first headmaster of the school was J Macintoch of Camden College, near Sydney, a graduate of Edinburgh University with honours in classics and mathematics. The initial enrolment was forty-four students including twenty boarders with numbers rising to 60 by the end of 1877. Macintoch died accidentally when thrown from a horse on 12 April 1879.</p><br>
<p>During the next 31 years Toowoomba Grammar School had seven headmasters. Over this period the school experienced financial difficulties as enrolments declined to a record low of 29 in the year 1900. From this low point numbers began to rise so that by August 1906 tenders were being called for additions in brick by J Marks and Son. These additions may have been part of Willoughby Powells original design. Marks and Son supervised Powells design for the Toowoomba City Hall, the winner of a design competition in 1899. A small timber building was also erected in 1906 at a cost of £105 for use as a science laboratory. These funds were raised by public subscription, an initiative of Dr Ronald Hamlyn-Harris, the science master who in 1910 became the Curator of the Queensland Museum. Additions to the school, referred to in a 1908 prospectus, included the boys sitting room, a new classroom, a special dormitory for boys under 12, gas lighting, a new dining room, a headmasters residence, servants quarters and a new library of 400 volumes.</p><br>
<p>By 1910 when George Pitty Barbour was appointed headmaster the future of the school was no longer in doubt. He remained as headmaster until 1935 and was responsible for building up Toowoomba Grammars academic reputation. This was considerably assisted by the achievements of his son Robert Roy Pitty Barbour who in 1920 became the first graduate of the school to receive a Rhodes Scholarship. Improvements to the school between 1925 and 1928, intended to celebrate the schools jubilee, were concentrated on the grounds. Sporting facilities including an oval, swimming pool, new tennis court and an oval pavilion were established. A new chemistry building was constructed in 1925.</p><br>
<p>A library in memory of Alfred George Stephens, the first student enrolled at Toowoomba Grammar and the literary editor of The Bulletin, was opened in 1937. In 1941 an addition was made to the eastern end of the School House to accommodate the increasing numbers of boarders. In 1947 the architect and planner Karl Langer prepared a master plan for the school which guided building at the school until 1968 which it was superseded by the tenth decade development plan. Buildings constructed during this period include the headmasters residence, three boarding houses, an assembly hall, new science laboratories, opened on November 2 1962 by Sir Mark Oliphant, a small hobbies room and a resident masters house. A bathroom and toilet wing and new staircase was added onto the rear of the School House, probably between 1947 and 1953.</p><br>
<p>New buildings since 1970 include a number of classroom blocks, a new gymnasium, an additional boarding house and an arts building. The most recent building, built in 1989, is the WM Dent Library which is adjacent to the north east end of the school house.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The School House is a three-storeyed brick building with a two-storeyed timber verandah in the centre of the front facade. On the south-western end, adjoining the School House, is the Old Hall. Formerly the main school room, it is a single-storeyed gable roofed building constructed from brick with concrete and stone trim. Sited on a rise in spacious grounds the building overlooks garden beds, large trees, lawns and ovals to the north and west.</p><br>
<p>The front facade of the building, described as "Domestic Gothic" in style, features contrast concrete and stone trim, label mouldings, hood moulds, and decorative banding. The vertically proportioned timber casement and double hung windows are rectangular or with pointed facade forming an axis which is reinforced by the placement of a decorative gable with central oculus and an octagonal fleche above the line of the doors. The fleche and three brick chimneys are located along the main ridge of roof. The verandah, which has paired timber posts and a simple timber balustrade on the first floor level, runs between projecting gable-fronted bays. Ornamental timber work, such as decorative barge boards and valances, has been replaced by simpler timber members. The roof overhang is supported on timber eaves brackets.</p><br>
<p>The focus of the front facade of the old hall is a group of pointed arched windows. These windows, with the bulls eye and eight pointed star shaped openings above, form a single composition framed by a hood mould. Stepped or keyed edges provide a contrast in render around window openings and on the chimney and gable end which forms an entry porch on the south western elevation.</p><br>
<p>The original building, roughly H shaped in plan, has been extended several times. On the north eastern end is the 1906 extension, in a style similar to the original, and the 1941 extension, in a contrasting style. The three storeyed 1941 extension, a rectangular masonry structure with parapet walls concealing the roof, has pilasters with stepped tops ornamenting the external walls. Built onto the rear of the original building, in line with the main entrance, is the shower and toilet block. It is a gable-roofed brick wing with concrete banding at the head of horizontally proportioned windows. A timber staircase, with a timber panelled balustrade and brass handrail, built around the same time as the shower block connects it to the original building.</p><br>
<p>Two other wings are attached to the rear of the building. The south western wing is three storeys tall with a gable roof. It has brick arches over casement windows to the lower and upper floors and banding at the line of the sill of ground level windows. The two storeyed brick wing, nearer the north eastern end of the building, has a hipped roof.</p><br>
<p>Internally the school house has rendered masonry walls on the lower levels and painted brick work on the upper level. A number of rooms have pressed metal ceilings. Timber wainscotting of modern design has been added to some ground floor rooms, including the Old Hall. On the second floor the building contains mostly dormitories, large spaces divided by partitions. Ceilings are partly raked and lined with timber boards or pressed metal. Metal tie rods and portions of timber roof trusses are visible below the line of the ceiling.</p><br>
<p>In the Old Hall the steeply pitched roof is lined with diagonal tongue in groove boards to form a raked ceiling above timber purlins and queen-post trusses. On the walls of this large room hand numerous timber honour boards. A fireplace with a stone mantelpiece is located in the centre of the south western wall. External access to the room is via a porch located adjacent to the southern corner of the room.</p><br>
<h2>Heritage listing</h2><br>
<p>Toowoomba Grammar School was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992 having satisfied the following criteria.</p><br>
<p>The place is important in demonstrating the evolution or pattern of Queensland&apos;s history.</p><br>
<p>Toowoomba Grammar School was the third grammar school to be built in Queensland and demonstrates the impact of the Grammar School Act 1860-64 on the developing of education in Queensland.</p><br>
<p>The School House and Old Hall, the original buildings built between 1875 and 1877, served for many years as the main buildings of Toowoomba Grammar School. They are a strong representation of the aspirations of the original subscribers and Board of Trustees.</p><br>
<p>The place is important because of its aesthetic significance.</p><br>
<p>An Australian adaptation of an English grammar school, the "Domestic Gothic" style buildings were placed in a specious park like setting. This is still discernible today in the open grounds and substantial trees located to the north and west of the School House and the original terrace located in front of the School House.</p><br>
<p>The buildings are accomplished designs of the architect Willoughby Powell. Prominently located, they are the visual and organisational centre around which the subsequent planning of the school has evolved.</p><br>
<p>The place has a strong or special association with a particular community or cultural group for social, cultural or spiritual reasons.</p><br>
<p>A project enthusiastically supported by the local community when first conceived, the new school was a status symbol for the town and surrounding district when it opened and remains a focus in a city noted for the quality and quantity of its educational establishments.</p><br>
<p>The place has a special association with the life or work of a particular person, group or organisation of importance in Queensland&apos;s history.</p><br>
<p>The buildings are accomplished designs of the architect Willoughby Powell. Powell, who came to Toowoomba as a result of winning the competition for the Toowoomba Grammar School, contributed a number of notable buildings to the town and surrounding centres including the Toowoomba City Hall.</p><br>
<p>Mount Larrabee is a Skagit Range mountain situated 1.4 mile south of the Canada–United States border, in the North Cascades of Washington state. It is located immediately southeast of American Border Peak within the Mount Baker Wilderness, which is part of the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, and near North Cascades National Park. It is notable for its reddish coloring caused by oxidation of Iron in the rock. The rock consists of reddish interbedded and interfolded phyllites and greenstone. Originally known as Red Mountain, the name was changed in 1951 to honor Charles F. Larrabee of the prominent Larrabee family of Bellingham, Washington.</p><br>
<p>Mount Larrabee can seen from the Mt. Baker Highway near Heather Meadows and Artist Point, as well as from points in the Fraser Valley in Canada. On Larrabees east ridge are a series of jagged spires called The Pleiades. Larrabees northwest ridge connects to American Border Peak. Precipitation runoff on the west side of the mountain drains into Tomyhoi Lake and Tomyhoi Creek, whereas the east side of the mountain drains to Silesia Creek. An unnamed glacier known colloquially as Larrabee Glacier lies below the steep north face. Downslope of that glacier is the Boundary Red Mountain Mine where gold was discovered in the early 1900s. The Gargett Mine was located on the southwest slope north of High Pass, but it didn&#39;t produce quality ore and was abandoned.</p><br>
<p>The summit offers stunning panoramic views of Tomyhoi Peak, American Border Peak, Slesse Mountain, Mount Challenger, the Picket Range, Mount Shuksan, and Mount Baker. Normal access is via the Twin Lakes Road and High Pass Trail. The Winchester Mountain Lookout provides a nice vantage to photograph Larrabee, and shelter to sleep under a roof.</p><br>
<p>The Olsen House is a historic house in Helena, Montana. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since March 22, 1991. It stands opposite St. Peter&#39;s Cathedral.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The plot of land was purchased in 1874 by Amelia Dissa, and her husband Louis Derrick built a one and a half-story cottage facing Park Avenue. It was built with wood and designed in the Gothic Revival architectural style.</p><br>
<p>After he died in the late 1870s, she married Ingethen Olsen, an American pioneer who owned a ranch in Fergus County, Montana, but the house remained in her name. By 1884-1885, they built a two-story rectangular addition and a gable. After Olsen died in 1904, his wife replaced the wooden cottage frame with a two-story front built with bluestone; it was completed in 1908-1909. When she died in 1918, the house was inherited by her daughter Amelia M. Olsen, who lived there until 1946.</p><br>
<p>Four years later, in 1950, the house was purchased by John Conway Harrison, who was elected as a justice of the Montana Supreme Court in 1961. He lived in the house until 1988, and he sold it to Robert Haseman in 1989. The house was later used as offices.</p><br>

<p>Hatchie River Ferry, also known as Millers Ferry and as Statlers Ferry, on the Hatchie River near Bolivar, Tennessee, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<p>The ferry crossing was used by a party of Cherokee Nation persons emigrating to Oklahama, led by John Adair Bell, who was one of the signers of the Treaty of New Echota. The group crossed the Hatchie River here on November 16-17, 1838.</p><br>
<p>In 1923 a map shows that there was a sawmill and Statler&#39;s Bridge at the crossing.</p><br>
<p>The listed property is 3.6 acre in area and includes parts of three real estate parcels. It includes 1,400 ft of the original roadbed of the historic Savannah-Bolivar Road approaching the Hatchie River on the east side, plus ferry landing area on both east and west banks of the road, and concrete bridge abutments in the river which date from the early 1900s.</p><br>
<p>The site is deemed significant for its association with the Trail of Tears.</p><br>
<p>The Bills-McNeal Historic District is a 30 acre historic district in Bolivar, Tennessee which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It then included nine contributing buildings and one contributing site, on portions of Lafayette, McNeal, Bills, Union, Lauderdale and Washington Streets.</p><br>
<p>It includes:</p><br>
<p>McNeal House (1856), at Bills and Union Street, asserted to be "the finest Italianate house in West Tennessee and among the most outstanding in the state." Two-story brick building with square cupola.</p><br>

<p>The Bicksler Block is a historic building located in Salem, Iowa, United States. John Bicksler had this commercial building built in 1886. The two story, brick structure is a combination of the Romanesque Revival and the Italianate styles. Salem&#39;s central business district was plagued by fires from 1886 to 1933. This building was built after the first major fire to effect the town in 1886. The store front on the east side of the building housed a bank into the early 1900s and then the local post office was located here until 1967. The western half of the building has housed a variety of businesses over the years, including: clothing stores, two different milliners, a restaurant, and a pool hall. The second floor housed a variety of offices, including a dentist. The American Legion acquired the building from the Bicksler family in 1950. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>Farmers Savings Bank is a historic building located in Salem, Iowa, United States. Built in 1916, it replaced a building destroyed by fire the year before. The following banks operated here: Farmers Savings Bank , Farmington State Bank , Des Moines Valley State Bank , State Central Savings Bank , Hillsboro Savings Bank , Hawkeye Bank and Trust . In 1992 Hawkeye Bank and Trust donated the building to the American Legion, who sold it to Anthony and Connie Kramer in 2000. They remodeled the single-story, brick, Neoclassical structure for their home. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>Farmers Savings Bank was one of ten banks in Iowa that was taken over by the state banking department on January 25, 1933 and reopened under a new state law. State Central Savings Bank was robbed in 1955.</p><br>
<p>The Winter Street School is a historic school building at 165 Winter Street in Haverhill, Massachusetts. Built in 1856, it is one of the city&#39;s oldest surviving school buildings, and a good local example of Second Empire/Italianate architecture. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The building has been converted into apartments.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Winter Street School is located on the north side of Winter Street, north of downtown Haverhill, at the northwest corner with Cottage Street. It is a three-story rectangular masonry structure, built out of red brick set on a granite stone foundation. The third floor is under a mansard roof, with heavy paired brackets under the eaves. The main facade faces Cottage Street, and is ten bays wide. Bays are broken up in pairs by brick pilasters, with window bays rectangular with stone sills and lintels. The main entrance occupies the center two bays, sheltered by a hood supported by angle brackets and featuring an entablature and projecting cornice. The side elevations each have a projecting stairwell at the center, with second-floor windows set in round-arch openings in recessed round-arch panels.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1856, in order to consolidate two smaller area schools and accommodate Haverhills growing population. It is one of two schools built by the city that year that is still standing; the other is the School Street School. Both are among the oldest of the citys surviving school buildings. This one was formally dedicated by George S. Boutwell, then the state&#39;s Secretary of the Board of Education. Originally two stories in height, the mansard roof was added about 1873, in response to continued growth and overcrowding. The school was closed in the 1970s and converted to a community center for people with disabilities. The city sold the building in 2014, after which it underwent conversion to apartments.</p><br>
<p>The Rockwood Road Historic District encompasses a portion of the town center of Norfolk, Massachusetts that has retained significant 19th-century characteristics. It extends along Rockwood Road  from the MBTA Commuter Rail line to Boardman Street. This area consists mainly of residential or formerly residentialy buildings, as well as the 1863 Norfolk Grange Hall, a former church, and is reflective of the center&#39;s growth as a railroad village. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The area that is now the town center of Norfolk was originally part of Dedham and then Wrentham before incorporating as a separate community in 1877. The center area developed as the center of North Parish of Wrentham, with the crossroads of Rockwood Road and Main Street (outside the historic district to the south) the site of the parish meetinghouse. Rockwood Road was apparently built through the lands of the locally prominent Ware family. The village gained in prominence with the completion of the railroad line in 1850, with commercial development taking place mostly south of the tracks, and farmland on the northside subdivided more for residential development.</p><br>
<p>The historic district extends along Rockwood Road from Boardman Street southeasterly, ending just before the railroad tracks. Although the latter were important to the community&#39;s growth, and there is still a commuter rail stop there, it no longer has a historic station house. Most of the buildings in the district are residences built between about 1850 and 1900, although there are examples of older and newer buildings. The oldest buildings in the district are probably Mann House at 16 Rockwood Road (c. 1806), and the Darius Ware House at 29 Rockwood Road, which dates to about 1814. The only originally non-residential building in the district is the Norfolk Grange Hall, which was built as a Baptist church in 1863, and was the first church to be built away from the historic Town Hill area.</p><br>
<p>The Norman Anglican Church of St Giles in Thurloxton dates from the 14th century but is predominantly from the 15th century with 19th-century restoration including the addition of the north aisle in 1868. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>From October 1763 to January 1764 the vicar was the diarist James Woodforde. He was followed by the Rev William Boone. who was curate of the parish for 43 years, but was outlasted by his rector, the Rev Charles Russell, who was appointed in 1768 and held the living for 65 years.</p><br>
<p>The parish is part of the Alfred Jewel benefice within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The church consists of a two-bay nave which has a south porch and three-bay north aisle, and a two-bay chancel with vestry. The two-stage west tower is supported by diagonal buttresses. The interior includes an octagonal Norman font and 18th century rood screen.</p><br>
<p>The Kirchsee is a lake in Upper Bavaria which is located nearby the Kloster Reutberg monastery and brewery in the Sachsenkam municipality, about 30 km south of Munich.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The moor lake which has a maximum depth of 16 m is part of the Ellbach- und Kirchseemoor Naturschutzgebiet (nature reserve) and is a popular bathing water and recreation area for the region and Munich. The lake is certified according to the EU directive for bathing waters, has an excellent water quality (German grade Güteklasse I), and is supplied with relatively warm moor water. The north shore has two bathing areas, a kiosk and toilets as well as a chargeable parking site. The south shore has a bathing area which is only accessible on foot or by bike after a 20 minutes walk (1.6 km) from the Kloster Reutberg monastery, which also has a parking site. In winter, the lake is a popular meeting place for ice skating und curling.</p><br>
<p>Chiriquí Lagoon is a large lagoon on the northwest coast of Panama covering an area of about 900 km&sup2;. The widest and deepest entrance into the bay is the Canal del Tigre in the northeast, which is the main access channel for ships entering the lagoon.</p><br>
<p>The temperature of the water in the lagoon ranges from 26 to 28 °C. Salinity can be as low as 1.015 (SG) due to runoff from rivers, especially during the rainy season. The mean tidal range is 0.24 m with a maximum range of 0.64 m; tidal flow in the lagoon is weak.</p><br>
<p>Rivers that drain into Chiriquí Lagoon include the Guariviara River and Cricamola River, both of which flow through the wetlands on the southeast shore of the lagoon. These are protected as part of the Ramsar site of Damani-Guariviara, which covers 240.89 km&sup2; of land between the lagoon and the Caribbean coast.</p><br>
<p>There are periods of low rainfall in March and September–October, and periods of high rainfall in July and December. The annual rainfall in the region is about 287 cm, being higher in the southeast part of the lagoon. February is the windiest month in the lagoon.</p><br>
<p>Native Americans guided Christopher Columbus into the lagoon in 1502 during his search for a connection to the Pacific Ocean. The Ngäbe continue to inhabit the southern and eastern coasts of the lagoon. The lagoon is administratively divided between Bocas del Toro Province in the west and Ngäbe-Buglé Comarca in the east.</p><br>
<p>Coal deposits were discovered in the area in the mid-19th century. The port of Chiriquí Grande is the northern terminus of the Trans-Panama pipeline. The terminal was the site of an oil spill on 4 February 2007 that leaked 5030 barrels of oil on to the surrounding land and water.</p><br>
<p>The Hartford Golf Club Historic District encompasses a golf course and adjacent residential neighborhood in West Hartford and Hartford, Connecticut. The area, developed between 1915 and 1936, includes the Hartford Golf Club, designed by Donald Ross, the area&#39;s oldest golf course, and a neighborhood with a high concentration of high quality Colonial and Tudor Revival houses. It is roughly bounded by Simsbury Road on the north, Bloomfield Avenue on the east, Albany Avenu to the south, and Mohegan Drive to the west. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Hartford Golf Club was founded in 1896, and immediately became a magnet for the social and business elite of Hartford. Its first golf course was built south of the present property, between Albany and Asylum Avenues. That course&#39;s thirteen-hole layout was problematic due to the terrain, and the club in 1914 purchased the southern portion of its present holdings. It hired Donald Ross to design the holes in this area, where fourteen holes were built. An eighteen-hole course was then made out of those plus four holes south of Albany Avenue. In 1945, the club purchased the northernmost portion of its land, which was developed with thirteen new holes, apparently also based on Donald Ross designs. The land south of Albany Avenue was sold in 1955.</p><br>
<p>The golf clubs 1914 purchased kicked off a residential construction boom to its southwest. Over the next twenty years, a neighborhood of high quality Tudor Revival and Colonial Revival houses were built on large well-landscaped lots, and it came to be one of West Hartfords most fashionable neighborhoods of the period. Roads were laid out in large rectangles, and properties adjacent to the golf were the largest and most lavish in the neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>The Eldridge House Hotel  is a historic building located on Massachusetts Street, in the downtown area of Lawrence, Kansas. The building is named after Shalor Eldridge, a prominent anti-slavery individual who erected the building in the mid-1800s. The building, as its contemporary name suggests, is currently used as a hotel.</p><br>

<p>The Eldridge House Hotel can trace its origin back to the New England Emigrant Aid Company, which was a transportation company in Boston, Massachusetts, created to transport immigrants to the Kansas Territory to shift the balance of power so that Kansas would enter the United States as a free state rather than a slave state. The presence of the building and the activity of those who inhabited it began to worry pro-slavery individuals in the area. Eventually, on May 21, 1856the hotel&#39;s opening dayDouglas County sheriff Sam Jones led a large group of pro-slavery men into town. The band destroyed several free-state newspapers, and also used a cannon to blow up the Free State Hotel. This event came to be known as the Sack of Lawrence. After this disaster, Shalor Eldridge purchased the land and erected a new hotel: the Eldridge House. This structure stood until August 21, 1863, when William Quantrill rode into Lawrence and burned it to the ground.</p><br>
<p>Eldridge once again began to build a replacement hotel. Although Eldridge himself ran out of money, work was completed by George W. Deitzler in 1866. This iteration of the structure stood until 1925, and was considered by many to be an exemplar hotel and one of the best West of the Mississippi River. By 1925, however, the building was run-down. A group of Lawrence investors and businessmen agreed to completely rebuild the hotel. For many decades, this version of the hotel was also popular, but by the 1960s, motels began to seriously cut into the hotels profit. On July 1, 1970, the Eldridge Hotel was closed and later converted into apartment buildings. Fortunately for the hotel, by the 1980s, there was a strong desire in the city to see the Eldridge Hotel re-open as such. A group of investors raised $1 million, and the city of Lawrence also contributed $2 million in industrial revenue bonds. This enabled the entire structure to be re-modeled and retrofitted once again into a hotel. The Eldridge re-opened in 1985 and has remained in business ever since.Information about the hotels history is derived from the following sources:</p><br>
<h2>Haunted reputation</h2><br>
<p>A popular story has circulated that the ghost of Shalor Eldridge still haunts the hotel. Believers claim that, because the Eldridge Houses original cornerstone is located in the room 506, Eldridges spirit will manifest in that room. Others claim that the hotels elevator is home to some sort of entity. A photograph taken during the 1980s purportedly depicts the ghost in the buildings elevator. The Eldridge Hotel and the supposed ghost of its namesake were the partial subject of "The Demon Shadow" (2011), the first episode of the third season of the Biography Channel series My Ghost Story. The supposed haunting has also been the subject of several book chapters and book sections.</p><br>
<p>The John Hultquist House is a historic building located in Swedesburg, Iowa, United States. Hultquist was a native of Småland in Sweden who immigrated to this country in 1880. After working for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad he began farming and he was eventually able to buy 200 acres of land for his own farm north of town. In 1918 Hultquist employed C.K. Schantz to build this two story, frame, American Foursquare for he and his second wife Amanda after his retirement. It was fairly common for the early Swedish immigrants in Wayne Township to relocate to Swedesburg after they retired from farming so as to maintain their Swedish traditions. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. The historic designation also includes a small barn to the east of the house. The front gable structure originally housed horses, a cow and chickens.</p><br>
<p>The United States Post Office building in Scappoose, Oregon, is the current post office serving the local community  and a recognized historic structure. Built in 1966, it is an essentially intact example of the "Thousand Series" facilities built under the direction of the Post Office Department in the late 1950s and the 1960s. These buildings, mostly of a modest, Modern style, represent one component of an evolutionary period in post office design between the PWA-led monumental buildings of the Great Depression and the 1971 reorganization of postal services. This period was marked by rapid growth, technological change, and decreased Congressional support for funding new construction.</p><br>
<p>The building was entered on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<p>The Shirley Hills Historic District in Macon, Georgia is a historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989 and was expanded in 2014. It includes 401 contributing buildings and 68 non-contributing ones, and 27 contributing sites, and one contributing structure.</p><br>
<p>Originally it was a 275 acre area including 85 contributing buildings, one other contributing structure, and three contributing sites. The original was roughly bounded by Senate Pl., Parkview Dr., Curry Dr., Briarcliff Rd., Nottingham Dr., and the Ocmulgee River.</p><br>
<p>The district includes Jackson Springs Park and a bird sanctuary. It includes two buildings which are separately listed on the National Register:</p><br>
<p>Ellamae Ellis League House, 1790 Waverland Drive,</p><br>
<p>Joseph and Mary Jane League House, 1849 Waverland Drive.</p><br>
<p>Notable architects whose work appears in the original area include W. Elliott Dunwody, IV (1893-1986), who designed 10 houses in the district; Ellamae Ellis League, who designed seven; Dennis & Dennis, who designed two; and John Leon Hoffman.</p><br>
<p>The Charles E. Hult House, Summer Kitchen and Wood Shed are historic buildings located in Swedesburg, Iowa, United States.</p><br>
<p>Hult was a native of Jämshög in Sweden who emigrated to the United States in 1854. He initially settled in Illinois and fought in the Union Army during the American Civil War. He relocated to Iowa in 1866 and settled on this 80 acres farm, making the Hult&#39;s among the first Swedish settlers in Wayne Township. They settled here after the Lutheran Church across the road was founded, but before the village of Swedesburg was established. Hult built the original part of the house in 1867, and expanded it to two stories around 1882 and added the kitchen wing. Charles and Charlotta were known for their hospitality. New settlers waiting for their own houses to be built, clergy who came here for conferences, travelers in need of rescue from the poor roads after a storm, and visitors to the community from Sweden all found accommodation here. The house became known as the "Swedesburg Hotel." After Charles and Charlotta died, their son Albert and his family lived in the house followed by his daughter Inez.</p><br>
<p>The house is a common residential form known as Folk Victorian. The summer kitchen behind the house was used for canning and baking. It and the wood shed were built about 1890. The three buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The Jones County High School, now known as the W.E. Knox Civic Center and also formerly known as Gray High School, was built in 1936 as a Public Works Administration project, to be a consolidated high school for white students. It was designed by architect Ellamae Ellis League.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. It was deemed significant "as an excellent example of a H-plan school building representing the Colonial Revival style constructed with limited funds by the Public Works Administration, and for its architectural design by Ellamae Ellis League (1899-1991), a prominent and influential woman architect in Georgia."</p><br>
<p>It is a one-story wood frame brick veneer H-plan building with a center rear ell holding the school&#39;s auditorium. Its front has a central block and adjacent wings. The center has flat roof and parapet, a wide cornice, quoins, and 16-over-16 double-hung windows. Its main doorway is recessed in an arched entranceway.</p><br>
<p>The building&#39;s owner was the Jones County/Gray Chamber of Commerce, since 1992. Nearby buildings, not included in the National Register listing, and all owned by the Jones County Board of Education, were the Jones County Junior High School with lunchroom, the Jones County Gymnasium, a Business Building, and a Vocational Building. A c.1935 library was demolished before 1999.</p><br>
<p>As of 2007, it had been repurposed as the W.E. Knox Civic Center.</p><br>
<p>The Red Ball Garage, also known as the Ed Neil Garage, is a historic building located in Swedesburg, Iowa, United States. The building is located along what was known as the Military Road. Because of the marshy land in the area, wagons and buggies had to be pulled out of the mud. In 1913 the road became a part of the Red Ball Route, a highway that linked the Minneapolis/St. Paul area with St. Louis. It received its named from the highway signs used to mark the route. The highway was paved from 1929 to 1930, and later became USA Route 218 until it was moved to the east as a four lane-highway in the 1990s.</p><br>
<p>This property has been the location of vehicle-oriented businesses since 1870 when a blacksmith shop opened here. It was followed by a blacksmith and wagon-making business. As automobiles started to replace wagons the blacksmith shop was replaced by a garage. This single-story, brick building was built in 1929, replacing the original wood garage. It was remodeled in 1944 to include a Studebaker dealership. The dealership was closed in 1966 when Ed Neil bought the business. It continued to house a garage and small motor repair shop until 1998. The Swedish Heritage Museum acquired the building that year, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>Benjamin Chapel and Richwoods Cemetery, also known as Richwoods Methodist Protestant Church or simply Richwoods Church, is a historic church located south of the unincorporated community of Trenton in rural Henry County, Iowa, United States. This front gable, frame church building was built by a congregation of the Methodist Protestant Church in 1877. The congregation itself was formed sometime after 1843. The building has two entrances on the main facade, one for men and the other for women. The genders then sat separately on their respective sides of the church building. The interior still has the original pews with dividers. There is also a small tower, capped with a spire, above the facade. The Methodist Protestant Church continued to maintain the building until 1921 when they sold it to the Benjamin Chapel Association. The association was named for Benjamin B. Allender, who was instrumental in building the church. Regular church services and Sunday school classes were held until 1940, and occasionally until 1952. The cemetery behind the church was a burial ground for the Methodist congregation as well as other residents from the Richwoods area. It is still an active burial ground. The church and cemetery were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The Herman and Allene Shaver House in Wayside, Georgia was built in 1936 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013. It was designed by architect Ellamae Ellis League.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-story U-shaped Rustic-style brick house with a two-story bedroom wing. Its largest room is the double-height living room whose ceiling is supported by hewn king-post trusses. Rustic aspects of the interior include exposed brick walls, hewn beams, cast-iron and wrought-iron fittings, and cypress paneling.</p><br>
<p>The building was modified in the 1990s by enclosure of the arcaded loggia and other changes.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant for the 1936 house&#39;s Rustic architecture, unusual in Georgia, "in the tradition of Frederick Law Olmsted, Calvert Vaux, and H. H. Richardson, who were inspired by the landscape and used natural forms and materials to replace expected architectural details."</p><br>
<p>Ellamae Ellis League also designed the property&#39;s one-story, two-room, brick guest cottage. The cottage, a historic pumphouse, and entrance gate posts are considered to be contributing resources in the NRHP listing. A two-car garage, a swimming pool, and a brick barbecue which were added in the 1990s remodelling were deemed non-contributing.</p><br>
<h2>Photos</h2><br>
<p>Lake Palomas is a former lake in New Mexico, United States, and Chihuahua, Mexico. This lake was relatively large and reached a size of about 3,500 square miles during its highstands. Preceded by Lake Cabeza de Vaca, it formed during the Pleistocene and continued into the Holocene, when several different lake phases occurred. Presently its basin is a major source of airborne dust in the region.</p><br>
<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>Lake Palomas is named after Puerto Palomas, Chihuahua. The northwestern part of the Lake Palomas basin is also known as "Guzmán Sink".</p><br>
<h2>Hydrogeography</h2><br>
<p>During highstands the lake was about 130 mi long and in some places 40 mi wide. It covered a surface area possibly over 3,500 square miles during these highstands and 2,000 square miles at lowstands. At these sizes it was one of the largest pluvial lakes in the southwestern United States during the late Pleistocene. Most of the lake was located in Mexico, with only a bay between the West Potrillo Mountains and the Tres Hermanas Mountains extending into New Mexico.</p><br>
<p>At highstand, Lake Palomas contained the islands Unión and Santa María. The islands were 10 square miles and 250 square miles, respectively. Islands were formed by the Carrizal Mountains, the Guzmán Mountains and the Las Muertos Mountains.</p><br>
<p>The lake was subdivided into three basins (east, central and west) by upthrust Cretaceous mountains and Tertiary intrusives. None of these basins were very deep during the history of Lake Palomas; the deepest point during La Mota time was in Salinas de Unión where the current basin floor is 410 ft beneath the La Mota shoreline.</p><br>
<p>Lake Palomas has left over sediments ranging from gravel and sand at its shores and clay and silt in the centres of the basins that formed the lake.</p><br>
<h2>Hydrology</h2><br>
<h3>Inflow</h3><br>
<p>The Río Casas Grandes, Río del Carmen, Mimbres River or Río Santa María either drained into Lake Palomas or had part of their course submerged by it. Part of the water entering into Lake Palomas seeped into the ground, nourishing aquifers in the Paso del Norte region.</p><br>
<p>The catchment of Lake Palomas covered about 60,000 km&sup2, and was fully developed by about 200,000 years ago.</p><br>
<h3>Shorelines</h3><br>
<p>Three different shorelines of Lake Palomas are known. These are the 4,100 ft La Mota, the 4,070 ft Guzmán and the Las Muertos at 4,030 ft. The La Mota shorelines are noticeable on the northeastern side of the lake between Columbus, New Mexico, and Villa Ahumada, Chihuahua, where they are over 110 mi. On the western side conversely, they are buried beneath alluvial deposits and thus difficult to recognize.</p><br>
<p>Lower shorelines are also found, though they are less well developed. These include the 4,010 ft El Sancho, the 4,056 ft Santa Maria shoreline and a mid-Holocene 1,190 m shoreline. Three shorelines of Holocene age are found at 1,225 m, 1,200 m and 1,175 m elevation, they correspond to the early Holocene, middle Holocene and the Little Ice Age, respectively.</p><br>
<p>Shoreline features include beach ridges, spits and wavecut platforms. After the shrinkage of Lake Palomas and its successor lakes, wind erosion has occurred on the shoreline deposits. The eroded particles formed the Samalayuca Dune Fields upon deposition.</p><br>
<h2>Climate</h2><br>
<p>The present-day climate of the Lake Palomas area is cold in winter and hot in summer. Precipitation totals about 300 mm, with high elevation areas reaching twice to thrice as much as lowland. Precipitation falls mostly in summer; the winter precipitation is controlled by the El Nino-Southern Oscillation.</p><br>
<p>Lake levels at Lake Palomas were controlled by the position of the polar jet stream, which could drive storm systems into the region when it was positioned farther south. The increased cloud cover and lower temperatures reduced evaporation and the storms added precipitation to the basin, causing lake levels to increase. The North American Monsoon on the other hand does not appear to have played a major role in the lake history, seeing as lake levels of Lake Palomas are correlated to lake levels in basins such as Silver Lake that are not monsoonally influenced.</p><br>
<h2>Biology</h2><br>
<p>Lake Palomas contained populations of bivalves and gastropods. Among the genera found in its deposits are Physa, Planorbella, Pyganodon and Succinea.</p><br>
<p>The large size of Lake Palomas and its subsequent fragmentation had strong effects on the development of animal species inhabiting its basin, forming isolated clades. The beautiful shiner, largemouth shiner and red shiner exist within the catchment of Lake Palomas and may have developed from a common ancestor that lived in the lake and its catchment. The fragmentation of Lake Palomas would have triggered the split into various species.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Before Lake Palomas, an even larger lake existed in the area, Lake Cabeza de Vaca. Named after Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, this lake covered a surface area of 9,000 - in Chihuahua and New Mexico. It was nourished by the Rio Grande through the Mesilla Valley and its shores approximately followed the present-day 4,250 ft contours. Lake Palomas itself is considered to have formed 500,000 years ago.</p><br>
<p>The La Mota shoreline of Lake Palomas is approximately coeval with Lake Lahontan and Lake Bonneville, about 60,000 years before present. Previously obtained radiocarbon dates on the La Mota shoreline indicate ages of 27,150 ± 1,060 and 25,200 BC, which is young for such a high shoreline. Another highstand occurred beginning 21,000 years ago between 12,000 and 15,000 years ago.</p><br>
<p>Lake Palomas reformed during the early Holocene, covering a surface area of 5,650 km&sup2; at that point. Other lakes in the region also show a highstand at that time, which at Lake Palomas is dated to 9,255 to 9,430 years ago.</p><br>
<p>Additional lake stands are recorded during the mid-Holocene, the Neoglacial and the Little Ice Age. These are dated to be 7,585 – 6,980, 4,795 – 4,220 and 495 – 230 years old before present, respectively. The reformation of the lake during these times was probably aided by its large catchment, seeing as other regional pluvial lakes do not frequently show lake stands at these timepoints. These lake stands are correlated with Bond events and glacier advances in New Mexico. The mid-Holocene stand is unusual as other evidence indicates a dry time period.</p><br>
<h3>Present day</h3><br>
<p>The Bolsón de Los Muertos is the largest present-day basin in the area of Lake Palomas. Other basins such as Guzmán playa, Indian Basin, Patos Playa, Sabinal Playa (also known as Laguna El Fresnal) and Santa María Playa presently cover the floor of Lake Palomas. During El Niño events these basins can flood, forming ephemeral lakes that last for weeks. During 2006, a hundred-year flood filled many of these basins until the following year.</p><br>
<p>The lake bed of Lake Palomas is a major source of airborne dust pollution in the Western Hemisphere, reaching as far as Canada. This dust is swept up by dry season storms and can heavily pollute El Paso and Ciudad Juárez. Other former lakebeds in the region also generate dust. The formation of this dust is facilitated by the texture of the clay and silt deposits, which are easily eroded by the wind in the flat land of the playas. Hazardous elements such as arsenic and lead are found in this dust.</p><br>
<p>The College Hill Historic District in Brownsville, Tennessee is a 96 acre historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and expanded in 2015.</p><br>
<p>It is near TN 19 and USA 70/USA 79. It is centered on the Brownsville Female College complex built in 1852.</p><br>
<p>The original district follows an irregular pattern along West College, West Main, West Margin, Key Corner Streets, and on North Grand, North McLemore and Russell Avenues and on Williamsburg Lane. It included Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, Stick/Eastlake architecture.</p><br>
<p>The original included 72 contributing buildings and a contributing structure.</p><br>
<p>The boundary increase January 27, 2015 is roughly bounded by Haralson Street, Margin Street, N. Wilson Avenue and Cherry Street.</p><br>
<p>The extension was listed on the National Register consistent with guidelines established in a 2014 study of historic resources in Brownsville.</p><br>
<p>The Cabiness-Hunt House near Round Oak, Georgia was built in c.1810. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>It was built by George Cabiness, an American Revolutionary War soldier, or by his son Harrison, soon after they migrated to Georgia. The house was deemed "outstanding as an example representative of early rural Georgia architecture and especially significant when set in its historical context of being built c.1810, only a few years after the land had been ceded by the Indians." It is also significant architecturally for its merging of two structures, for its round-headed fireplace openings, and for the diamond-shaped pattern formed by glazed bricks on its chimney.</p><br>
<p>The property includes a second contributing building.</p><br>
<p>The Brazelton House is a historic house located at 401 North Main Street in Mount Pleasant, Iowa.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>William P. Brazelton was an early leader in the city&#39;s development, owning the Brazelton Banking House and the Brazelton House Hotel. His house, built in 1858, is the earliest substantial residence built here, and it is a significant contribution to its domestic architecture. The main form for this two-story brick structure is the Italianate style, however it combines other styles into its design and ornamentation. Moorish elements are found in the front porch,</p><br>
<p>especially in the arches. Romanesque influence is found in the windows of the tower, the two-story turreted bay, and the single-story bay. Under the eaves are found smaller single brackets in between sets large double brackets.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 27, 1983.</p><br>
<p>The house was most recently sold for $114,000 in November 2011.</p><br>
<p>The Roberts-Bush-Roberts House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The main house is a c.1904 one-story Georgian Revival cottage, connected at the rear with a c.1897 two-story building, and there are several outbuildings.</p><br>
<p>The house has wood siding and has a brick foundation. It has a porch across the full length of its front facade, and a porte-cochere. Outbuildings include a brick well house (c.1904), a brick garage (c.1904), a smokehouse (pre-1904), an outhouse (c.1904), a barn (pre-1926), a truck shed (pre-1934), a tractor shelter/feed storage (pre-1934), and a potting shed (post-1934).</p><br>
<p>The c.1897 building was probably built by Annie Belle and John Roberts. In 1904 the property was bought by Thomas Sheppard Bush, who added the cottage, but later lost the property. It was bought in 1934 by Cecil Thomas Roberts (1903-1985), who with his wife Ethel operated a dairy farm on this and other properties.</p><br>
<p>The Brazelton House Hotel is a historic building located in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, United States. William P. Brazelton was an early leader in the city&#39;s development. He owned the Brazelton Banking House and he was one of the directors of the Brazelton House Company, which built the hotel. It is not clear, specifically, why the hotel bears his family name. The construction of the hotel in 1856 coincided with a building boom in Mount Pleasant with the extension of the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad into town. It was built with the belief that Mount Pleasant would need a large first class hotel, but it had financial problems from the beginning and went through a series of owners until it no longer functioned as a hotel about 1970. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. In 2015 the upper floors were converted into apartments while the main floor continued to house retail businesses.</p><br>
<p>At four floors it is the tallest building in the central business district. It was originally an "L" shaped building, but a 1911 renovation covered the courtyard and created a two-story lobby. The building exhibits elements of the Italianate style, notably found in the bracketed eaves.</p><br>
<p>Ab-i Istada ("standing water"</p><br>
<p>In modern times the lake has been reported to have a surface area of 130 km&sup2, although it dries out periodically. It is very shallow, not exceeding in depth. There are two small islands near the lake&#39;s southeastern shore, Loya ghundai and Kuchney ghundai. The water is highly alkaline and mass die-offs of freshwater fish from the Ghazni River sometimes occur.</p><br>
<p>The main inflows into Ab-i Istada are the Ghazni, Sardeh and Nahara Rivers, which drain into it from the northeast. Three sets of raised beaches surrounding the lake have been noted at, and above the normal lake level. At high water levels, the lake is known to overflow into the Lora River, a tributary of the Arghistan River, through two channels on the south side of the lake, Akasi Mandeh and Sekva Mandeh. A groundwater connection between the lake and the Lora drainage has been suggested.</p><br>
<p>Historically the area around the lake was unpopulated, although nomads from Kandahar visited it in the summer. More recently, the Tarakai have settled near the lake: in 2003 there were eight villages within 10 km with a total population of approximately 5000. Economic activities around the lake include trapping of saker and peregrine falcons, grazing and collection of fuel wood.</p><br>
<p>The wetlands around Ab-i Istada attract a variety of migratory birds, over 120 species having previously been recorded. Babur observed enormous flocks of greater flamingoes at the lake; their numbers in recent years have varied between 0 and 9000. The wetlands were once a critical stopover for the central migratory population of Siberian cranes, but these have not been sighted at the lake since 1986. In 1974, the Afghani government proclaimed a Waterfowl and Flamingo Sanctuary around the lake, causing considerable resentment among the locals; conservation efforts ended with the Soviet invasion in 1979 and have not been restarted since.</p><br>
<p>The United States Post Office Watonga, in Watonga, Oklahoma, is a Colonial Revival-style building built in 1936. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-and-a-half-story brick-clad building. Its front facade has decorative detail at the front entrance, including a round arch fanlight above, and brickwork suggestive of pilasters by the sidelights of the doorway. It has four nine-over-nine double-hung windows</p><br>
<p>Its lobby has a mural, "Roman Nose Canyon", by artist Edith Mahier.</p><br>
<p>The mural, installed in 1941, is oil on canvas which nicely fits in a wall space above the postmaster&#39;s door. In the mural the Cheyenne chief Henry Roman Nose stands holding a rifle, with his family to the right and three Cheyenne riding horses to the left. A family of settlers with a Conestoga wagon and three other white men exploring the area. The Native Americans and white settlers have both arrived at the location to water their horses and livestock. It depicts the canyon where Roman Nose lived during 1856-1917 in bright orange and red colors. The mural was locally controversial in its depiction of Native Americans, and it is likely the most well-known of post office murals in Oklahoma.</p><br>
<p>The Medgar Evers House is a historic house museum at 2332 Margaret Walker Alexander Drive in Jackson, Mississippi. Built in 1956, it was the home of African-American civil rights activist Medgar Evers  at the time of his slaying. Now owned by Tougaloo College, the restored house is open for tours by appointment. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2017.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Medgar Evers House stands in northern Jackson, in what is called the Elraine Subdivision. This area was developed as the first planned middle-class subdivision for African-Americans in Mississippi after World War II. The house is on the north side of Margaret Walker Alexander Drive, a few doors east of its junction with Missouri Street. It is one of 36 similar single-story ranch-style houses built by Leroy Burnett and Walter J. Thompson. It is a single-story wood frame structure, set on a foundation of brick piers. It has a broad shallow-pitch gabled roof, with a built-up covering of gravel. The roof has extended eaves with the rafters exposed. To the left side, the roof extends across a carport which is accessed via the original concrete driveway; the main entrance is under the carport shelter. Part of the facade is faced in brick veneer, while the rest is finished in asbestos siding. Interior features include a bullet hole in the wall separating the kitchen and living room.</p><br>
<p>The house was purchased new by Medgar and Myrlie Evers in 1956, and remained their home until 1963. The Everses were both active civil rights activists, and had for some time been specific targets of racist violence. The chose this house in part for features that improved its security: it was not on a corner lot, and its entrance under the carport provided better cover than a front door would. On May 28, 1963, a Molotov cocktail was thrown onto the carport. On June 11, 1963, Evers attended a meeting of civil rights groups in Jackson to formulate a response to actions taken by George Wallace, then Governor of Alabama, to prevent African-Americans from enrolling at the University of Alabama. Arriving home around midnight, Evers, standing in the carport, was shot by Byron de la Beckwith, using a sniper rifle from an undeveloped lot about 200 ft away. The bullet passed through the house&#39;s picture window, and through the wall between the living room and kitchen before coming to rest. Evers died early the next morning.</p><br>
<p>Myrlie Evers moved to California in 1964, continuing the civil rights crusade. She maintained ownership of the house for thirty years, using it as a rental property. She donated the property to Tougaloo College in 1993. The house underwent repairs and stabilization in 1995-96, and was restored to its appearance during the Evers residency in 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Geosite Travertino della Cava Cappuccini  is located in Alcamo, in the province of Trapani, in Sicily.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Since 2010 the Ministry of the Environment), through l’ISPRA (Superior Institute for the environmental protection and research) had included it in the official list of Italian geosites.</p><br>
<p>By decree of 1 December 2015, the Regional Department of Land and Environment has established this geosite, recognising it of a Paleontological/Stratigraphic type of worldwide importance.</p><br>
<p>Its area is formed by the wall of a quarry and a narrow strip of land at its beginning.</p><br>
<p>The travertine quarries were recovered some years ago, thanks to the financing of the European funds of the Por-Fesr 2007/2013. The project of requalification and the realization of an amphitheatre at disposal of the Cittadella dei giovani in the area of Orto di Ballo, had put part of the Paleontological site in danger; after the prorests by the citizens&#39; Committee called Difendiamo il Geosito Cave Cappuccini, the original project was modified in November 2014, in order to protect the area.</p><br>
<p>Among the modifications, there are some works tending to reduce the visual impact of the amphitheatre at the distance of six metres from the quarry’s walls: then the bleachers will lean on the natural slope already existing on the south side.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The cave of travertine Orto di Ballo is a very important site for Paleontology because this travertine dates back to Pleistocene and also for its interesting geologic and geomorphological characteristics; thanks to the great number of fossils discovered, we can reconstruct the geologic events of this area.</p><br>
<p>At the end of 1984, inside the quarry of the cooperative "Siciltravertino", they found the fossilized shell of a tortoise, Geochelone sp, 1,15 metres long, and some eggs. These two finds are kept at the Museum of paleontology and geology Gaetano Giorgio Gemmellaro in Palermo.</p><br>
<p>The tortoise, also present in the Pleistocene of Malta, recalls those which are still living, in a great number, at Aldabra, a big atoll and protected nature reserve, located near the Seychelles.</p><br>
<p>In the geosite of Alcamo they have also discovered the skeleton of a dwarf elephant, Elephas falconeri, (with its tusks, teeth and skulls); in 1985 professor Giorgio Belluomini, an expert of the National Research Council, by using the method of Amino acid dating on the fossil’s teeth, discovered that this elephant dates back to 260,000 years ago.</p><br>
<p>Inside the travertine they have also found some specimens of the giant edible dormouse, red deer, (Cervus elaphus), and wild boar (Sus scrofa), kept at the Civic Museum Torre di Ligny of Trapani.</p><br>
<p>The site has made possible to establish the right dating of the Elephas in Sicily, as in one of the splits of the travertine, with paleosol inside it, they found the remains of an elephant of average size, the Elephas mnaidriensis, which at first had been wrongly considered the progenitor of the dwarf elephant.</p><br>
<p>The Harlan House Hotel is a historic building located in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, United States. It is associated with James Harlan, the first Republican to represent Iowa in the United States Senate . He was also Secretary of the Interior . His daughter Mary was the wife of Robert Todd Lincoln, President Abraham Lincoln&#39;s only surviving son. Harlan built the oldest part of this building as his house in 1857. After his career as a Senator, he could no longer afford the house and bought another house in Mount Pleasant. Harlan built the first addition onto his old house and converted it into a hotel so he could support himself. He added onto the hotel two more time, c. 1880 and 1892. The first two additions are on the alley side of the building, and the third addition faces Jefferson Street. The middle section of the building with the bracketed cornice and mansard roof is the original house. Harlan moved into the hotel in the early 1890s and died here in 1899. A few minor alterations were made to the building in the 20th century. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>The Clay Butte Lookout is a forest fire lookout in Park County, Wyoming. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>It is located in the northern Absaroka Range in the Shoshone National Forest about sixteen miles east of Yellowstone National Park and about four miles south of the Wyoming-Montana state border. It is about one half mile north of USA Highway 212, at the end of FS Rd. 142 which winds up to it.</p><br>
<p>Its construction was started in 1941 within the Civilian Conservation Corps program, but the CCC was closed before it was completed in 1943. It is a three-story wood-sided structure built out of eight inch by eight inch beams. It is 26.25 ft tall.</p><br>
<p>It is near Clark, Wyoming.</p><br>
<p>The Hoher Burgstall is a mountain, in the Kalkkögel in the Stubai Alps, southeast of the Schlicker Seespitze. Its summit offers a good view into the Oberbergtal, the upper Stubaital, the Serles ridge and the Kalkkögeln.</p><br>
<h2>Ascents</h2><br>
<p>The summit is accessible from Starkenburger Hut to the south.</p><br>
<p>From the north, a rocky gully leads to the top: from the Schlick a well signed path climbs to the Sennjoch saddle. The route continues uphill to the Burgstalljoch and on the path to the Schlicker Scharte wind gap, left through the rock gully to the summit. Alternatively the rock gully can be accessed from the Schlicker Scharte.</p><br>

<p>The Omena Historic District is a historic district located along M-22 from Tatch Road to North Omena Point Road in Omena, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Omena was founded in 1851 by the Rev. Peter Dougherty as a Presbyterian mission school serving the local Chippewa band. The school itself was located about a mile est of the present-day Omena. European settlers were slowly moving to the area, and when construction of the school was completed in 1853, Dougherty began planning for a church located in what is now Omena, for use by all people in the area. A graveyard was started in 1855, and in 1858 the church was built. Dougherty&#39;s house was built about the same time. Dougherty was assisted in his mission by Peter Greensky, a native leader and Methodist preacher. Greensky owned what is now the Cherry Basket farm for several years until 1859, when he left Omena.</p><br>
<p>The years during and after the Civil War were difficult for Peter Dougherty and his family, and funding for the school declined. Dougherty decided to leave Omena in 1871. In the meantime, the nearby harbor became more developed. As more European settlers arrived in the area in the 1880s, agriculture became the dominant industry around Omena, with products shipped through Omena and out of the harbor. In addition, the area became a tourist destination, with the earliest resort in Omena, the Shab-Wah-Sung Club, opening in 1868. Over the next several decades a growing number of summertime visitors came to Omena, with hotels and guest houses springing up to meet the demand.</p><br>
<p>Around the same time, commercial enterprises were established in Omena, with two general stores opening in the late 1880s. Three two-story frame houses were built near the stores. Rail service came to Omena in 1903. As automobiles appeared in the 20th century and M-22 became more busy, gasoline stations sprang up in Omena, with three by the mid-1930s. One of these gradually grew from a fruit stand to a gas station to a full-service garage with bar to a restaurant, and is now the home of Leelanau Cellars and Knot Just a Bar Restaurant.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Omena Historic District consists of a set of buildings in the village of Omena, extending along M-22 on Omena Bay. The district includes houses, outbuildings, commercial buildings, and the Grove Hill New Mission Church. The district also includes the cemetery behind the church and two sets of historically significant dock pilings in the bay. The buildings date primarily between 1858 and 1935 and are typically one or two stories in height. The houses are typically Upright and Wing or Gablefront styles, and there are two False front commercial stores. Various buildings exhibit Greek Revival, Italianate, or Queen Anne details.</p><br>
<p>East Moran Bay is a small, historic harbor in the Straits of Mackinac adjacent to the city of St. Ignace in the USA state of Michigan. The harbor is used as a commercial port for Star Line Ferry and Shepler&#39;s Ferry ferry boats from St. Ignace to Mackinac Island, a tourist center of the Straits of Mackinac. The bay and its harbor are guarded by the Wawatam Lighthouse.</p><br>
<p>The bay is a traditional place for fishing, and several St. Ignace archaeological sites associated with Native American history are located adjacent to the bay. In historical times, the bay was used as a harbor by the Mackinac Transportation Company, operator of train ferries; the Vacationland and her sister vessels, which crossed the Straits carrying motor vehicles; and the Arnold Transit Company ferry boat line to Mackinac Island.</p><br>
<p>State historical markers describe the history of the harbor. A bottomland survey of East Moran Bay was performed by the Michigan Underwater Preserve Council and its volunteer sport divers in the early 1900s and published by the United States Government Printing Office in 1992. The city of St. Ignace has built and maintains an East Moran Bay waterfront path, the Huron Boardwalk, marked with signs and artifacts, to interpret and celebrate the bay and its heritage. The artifacts include the remains of a Mackinaw boat built about 1899.</p><br>
<p>Coquiller River Falls, is a two-tier waterfall located in the far north tip of the Rogue River – Siskiyou National Forest, just east of Port Orford, on the Oregon Coast in Coos County, in the USA state of Oregon. It totals 115 feet fall in two drops: the upper falls is 50 feet high and the lower tier, the tallest drop, is 65 feet. There are approximately 180 feet from the upper tier to the bottom drop of the waterfall.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The waters of the Coquille River Falls are located at a point where the South Fork Coquille River meet Squaw Creek and Drowned Out Creek and is the centerpiece attraction of the Coquille River Falls trailhead that spins off Forest Road 3348 from National Forest road 33.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The name of the waterfall and the river the forms it may have stemmed from the Chinook Jargon word "Scoquel", the name given to lamprey eels common in the river and estuaries of the area.</p><br>
<p>When fur traders settled the Coos Bay area in the mid 1800s, the name Coquille was used to name both the native tribes of the area and the river.</p><br>
<h2>Natural Area</h2><br>
<p>The 500 acres of canyons surrounding the Coquille River Falls are part of a Federal Research Natural Areas. Established in 1945, the Research Area is centered on Port Orford cedar, which constitutes approximately 22% of the total timber volume of the area.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The waterfall is a continuous cliff of visible rocky outcrop surrounded by a rugged canyon area with a bedrock composed of sedimentary deposits originated during the Tyee formation of the Eocene area.</p><br>
<p>The Lei River is a right-bank tributary of the middle Xiang River in Hunan, China. It is also the longest tributary and has the second largest drainage system of the Xiang tributaries after the Xiao River. The Lei River has two sources: the Zhejiang River , which rises in the Leishan Moutains in the south of Rucheng County, and the Ou River , which rises in the Wanyang Mountains in the north of Guidong County. The two rivers join at Huangcaoping , Zixing City. The main stream of the Lei River runs generally south to northwest through Rucheng, Zixing, Suxian, Yongxing, Leiyang, Hengnan and Zhuhui counties and joins the Xiang at Leihekou of Zhuhui District of Hengyang. The main stream of the Lei River has a length of 453 km, with its tributaries, and the drainage basin covers an area of 11,783 km&sup2;.</p><br>
<p>The Nevada—California—Oregon Railway Co. Depot, commonly known as the N.C.O. Depot or The Whistle Stop, is a historic site in Alturas, California, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was built 1908 to serve as the passenger station for Alturas on the Nevada–California–Oregon Railway. It has been home to the Alturas Garden Club since at least 1962.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1880, the Nevada and Oregon Railroad was founded; it was sold in 1884 and renamed the Nevada–California–Oregon Railway (N.C.O.). N.C.O. began regular rail service for Alturas on December 1, 1908. The N.C.O. depot was initially located at the intersection of Twelfth and Oak Streets, near the railyard, but was disassembled and moved, stone by stone, to its current location in 1915 to be closer to the central business district of Alturas.</p><br>
<p>In 1926, the Southern Pacific Transportation Company purchased the N.C.O., converting the line to standard gauge starting in 1927. Passenger service to Alturas was discontinued on January 1, 1938, and the depot was converted for use as railroad crew housing. The Alturas Garden Club acquired the depot in 1962.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The depot was constructed from stone blocks from a local quarry and is placed with its longest side parallel to the railroad tracks. The eastern facade, which overlooks the tracks, has a centrally-located operator&#39;s bay, with the former baggage room to the north and the former waiting room to the south. It is largely unmodified from its days as a passenger depot, and is built in the late Queen Anne style, with an appearance more in common with contemporary stations in the eastern United States than other stations in California.</p><br>
<p>The Tockwotton-Love Place Historic District in Thomasville, Georgia is a historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The district then included 80 contributing buildings with relatively few intrusions or non-historic buildings. It includes two residential neighborhoods bisected by Remington Avenue: Love Place to the north and Tockwotton to the south.</p><br>
<p>Among its historic properties are:</p><br>
<p>331 Remington St. is striking with a two-story portico having a second floor porch, intersected by a first-floor full-length porch (see #11 in accompanying photos).</p><br>
<p>"The Paxton", a historic house hotel, at 445 Remington Avenue, at the corner of South Hansell St.</p><br>
<p>The antebellum Augustine Hansell House, at 429 South Hansell Street, is separately listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>The Capen-Clark Historic District encompasses a residential neighborhood area in the North End of Hartford, Connecticut. Centered on Capen Street between Main and Enfield Streets, it contains a cross-section of post-Civil War Victorian vernacular housing styles, and shows in its development patterns the ebb and flow of the city&#39;s economy between about 1865 and 1910. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Prior to the Civil War, the Capen Street area in northern Hartford was mostly open land, and Spring Grove Cemetery, founded in 1845, formed a natural barrier it and older development in the citys Clay-Arsenal area. The city experienced economic growth in the years immediately after the Civil War, which pushed residential development into this area. Between 1867 and 1873 Capen Street and three roads leading north from it were laid out, and a series of vernacular Italianate houses and Second Empire were built. The economy slumped in the late 1870s, and did not pick up again until the late 1880s. At that time a period of infill development began in this neighborhood, spurred by expansion of the citys streetcar network, resulting in the addition of Queen Anne Victorians. In 1898 two of the city&#39;s oldest examples of apartment blocks were built at 44 and 46 Capen Street.</p><br>
<p>The historic district&#39;s main focus is Capen Street, which runs east-west between Main and Enfield Streets, and is bordered on the south by Spring Grove Cemetery. It extends northward along four roads: Clark, Barbour, Martin, and Garden Streets, and includes properties on Main and Elmer Streets. Buildings range in height from 1-1/2 to three stories, and are generally of wood frame or brick construction. Many are single family residences, but there are two-family houses and triple deckers, and a few apartment blocks. Non-residential buildings include a former school complex, now a community center, and a church.</p><br>
<p>The Charter Oak Bank Building is a historic commercial building at 114-124 Asylum Street in downtown Hartford, Connecticut. Built in 1861, it is the city&#39;s only surviving example of commercial Italianate architecture from the mid-19th century. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Charter Oak Bank Building is located on downtown Hartford, at the northeast corner of Trumbull and Asylum Streets. It is a four-story masonry structure, built with load-bearing walls of brownstone. It is covered by a flat roof with a deep modillioned and bracketed cornice, and has a rounded bay at the street corner. The ground floor has commercial storefronts, with mainly reproductions of Italianate styling details. Windows on the second floor are topped by bracketed caps with segmental arches, on the third by gabled caps, and on the fourth by flat caps.</p><br>
<p>The Charter Oak Bank was chartered in 1853, and originally had offices at Main and Pratt Street. It purchased this lot in 1860, then occupied by a Unitarian church. The church was demolished and this building was completed the following year. Its stone probably came from the Portland Brownstone Quarries in Portland, Connecticut. The bank occupied the building until 1915, although it sold it in 1865. It was merged into Phoenix National Bank in 1915. The building was acquired in 1915 by City Bank, founded in 1851. It failed in 1932 during the Great Depression; the building has seen a variety of owners since then, and underwent a major restoration in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Martha Poe Dogtrot House, also known as Mayhar Plantation Stage Stop, in Thomas County, Georgia near Metcalf, Georgia, was built c.1850-1876. It is a dog trot house which is believed to have served as a stage stop.</p><br>
<p>It was built with two hewn log pens covered by a single roof, with a breezeway space in between, but the breezeway was later enclosed.</p><br>
<p>The house with four acres of land was bought in 1876 by Martha Poe, an African-American woman, from William Vaughn for $24. She later purchased an additional acre for $5.</p><br>
<p>The property was absorbed, along with others, into Mayhaw Plantation, created in 1946 as a hunting and shooting preserve which had an area of 4,000 acre in 1998. Modifications in c.1946 added two brick chimneys to the two ends of the house, replaced flooring, and added a frame storage barn.</p><br>
<p>For another point in the northwest of the island of Boa Vista, see Ponta do Sol </p><br>
<p>Ponta do Sol is the northernmost point of both Cape Verde and the Island of Santo Antão located just only 300 meters north of the city center of Ponta do Sol. No road connects the point, but it is accessible by walking as there are no pathways. Other parts of the headland have roads as well as city streets and some pathways.</p><br>
<p>Its main etymology is not understood. One possible source of the name is that is a sunny area on the island. Another is that first inhabitants came from Ponta do Sol in the Madeira Islands of Portugal in 1584 and was one of the two island&#39;s first settlements. Another could be the geographic resemblance to Ponta do Sol on the Madeira Islands, and another could be the settlers who came to the area matched the geographic name with where the settlers who came from.</p><br>
<h2>Promontory and headland</h2><br>
<p>The headland is slightly more than a kilometer from south to north, and its width ranges from 300 meters in the north to 750 meters wide east to west. In that location, on a rock facing the sea, is a diver statue. On the headland is the town of Ponta do Sol, it surrounds its port, Boca de Pistoia and a slope of mountain to the south.</p><br>
<p>As the seas are rough and dangerous in the area, about 3-4 km north has a depth of 1,000 meters and forms a part of the Cape Verde Rise, about 10 km north has a depth of 2,000 meters and 15-20 km is 3,000 meters.</p><br>
<p>During the Ice Age, the point was located about 1-2 km north from its current location.</p><br>
<p>Further north of the point is the Canary Current and is near the range of its furthermost area.</p><br>
<p>A part of the headland may be artificially extended but the point in the north is natural, the northernmost part of the headland was once the island&#39;s airport named Agostinho Neto which opened in the 1960s and shut down in March 2007, the airport covered the northernmost of the headland.</p><br>
<h2>Lighthouse</h2><br>
<p>Between its former runway and the point is the lighthouse (Portuguese: Farol de Ponta do Sol). It was constructed around the 20th century and was built of a concrete base and a metal post.</p><br>
<p>It has a cylindrical post with balcony and light atop, and has white and red horizontal bands, as do many lighthouses built after the 1950s through the world. As that lighthouse near Janela is no longer active, this is one of the two active on the island. The lighthouse guides ships heading to and from the islands and nearby São Vicentes port of Porto Grande, as no ships heading on the trans-Atlantic routes with South America pass within the lighthouse as the range is 17 km (9 mi) and does not reach the westernmost point in the island.</p><br>
<p>The Fletcherville Historic District is a 38 acre historic district which is roughly bounded by Siexas, Wright, S. College and W. Jackson St. in Thomasville, Georgia. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The oldest houses in the district are along South College Street and Fletcher Street facing what was formerly a square at the center of Fletcherville. The square originally was the site of the Fletcher Institute and is now the location of Harper School, and with its open area it remains "a significant landscape feature of the district."</p><br>
<p>The district includes the Arthur P. Wright House at 415 Fletcher Avenue, in the next block up from the square, which is separately listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>Predominant architecture is Bungalow/Craftsman, Greek Revival, and Victorian Eclectic. Most of the buildings in the district are modest one-story wood frame houses. Examples of two-story houses are at 427 Fletcher, 126 College, 519 West Jackson, and 116 Siexas. Many houses have a front porch or portico with bracketed posts or Doric or Ionic columns. Some have dormer windows or Palladian windows.</p><br>
<p>The district also includes some non-contributing buildings including two modern church complexes, the Harper School, and several non-historic houses.</p><br>
<p>The East Side School in Thomasville, Georgia, United States was built in 1915 and was the first purpose-built public school building in Thomas County. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story-with-basement T-shaped brick red building. Its brick is laid in common bond and it has buff-colored brick trim at windows, entrances, and corner quoins. Terra cotta is also used in detailing; the roof is red vitrified clay tile. Its NRHP nomination asserts that "The most outstanding feature of the interior is the flooring. All of the floors are of rift pine, i.e., quarter sawn, long leaf yellow pine of virgin growth, cut in the Thomasville area."</p><br>
<p>It was built to serve the first seven grades; other grades were covered by the high school, which was in an 1875 brick building which had served as South Georgia College of Agriculture and Mechanical Art.</p><br>
<p>It served as a school until 1976.</p><br>
<p>It was presumably for white students only when built; the date of desegregation, if that occurred before closure, is not noted.</p><br>
<p>The Ebersberg lies on the southern slopes of the Deister ridge in Germany.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The hill is located southwest of the city of Hanover. On its slopes is the town of Springe.</p><br>
<h2>Ascent</h2><br>
<p>There are numerous footpaths in the Deister which offer several options for climbing the Ebersberg. The ascent from Springe itself is steep.</p><br>
<h2>Sights</h2><br>
<p>On the hillside aboveSpringe the Göbelbastei with its permanently lit light commemorates Heinrich Göbel who was born in Springe. From here there is a good view of the town. In good weather, visitors can see as far as the Brocken in the Harz mountains.</p><br>
<p>At the foot of the hill is the Ebersberg glacial erratic (Findling am Ebersberg), a recognised natural monument.</p><br>
