<p>The Ottawa Beach Historic District is a residential historic district located on Ottawa Beach Road in Park Township, Ottawa County, Michigan near the outlet of Lake Macatawa. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Ottawa Beach was developed by the West Michigan Park Association, which consisted of a number of prominent citizens of Grand Rapids, Michigan, including officers of the Chicago and West Michigan Railway. In 1885, the association purchased this tract of land, and in 1886 the land was platted into 150 cottage lots, a hotel, and a boat dock to connect with the railroad&#39;s Holland terminal, open park spaces that were to remain undeveloped, and beach resort property. The Association members selected their plats by lottery. The railroad constructed the Hotel Ottawa, and Association members gradually began constructing cottages on the lots. The first cottage was built in 1887-88, and by 1890 about twenty cottages were built.</p><br>
<p>In addition to Association members, the resort attracted summer boarders at the hotel, as well as day trippers visiting the beach itself. In 1890, the railroad extended its line directly from Holland, replacing the boat dock. The hotel proved enormously popular, and was enlarged in 1890, again in 1896, and a third time in 1901. The Chicago and West Michigan Railway eventually merged in to the Pere Marquette Railway, which continued ownership of the hotel. In the meantime, another twenty or so cottages were built in the 1890s, and a further twenty or so in the first decade of the 1900s.</p><br>
<p>The early owners of the cottages were a diverse lot, but primarily successful businessmen. These early residents included Charles M. Heald, general manager of the Chicago and West Michigan Railroad and later president of the Pere Marquette Railroad, and J. Boyd Pantlind, manager of the Morton House, one of Grand Rapids&#39; leading hostelries. It also included Melville R. Bissell, founder of the Bissell Carpet Sweeper Company, and General Lewis W. Heath, owner of a large hatter and furrier firm, and a personal friend of President James A. Garfield.</p><br>
<p>The railroad sold the hotel and resort property in 1913 to J. Boyd Pantlind. The hotel burned in 1923, and was not rebuilt. In 1925, Pantlind sold the beach resort property to the state of Michigan, which turned it into the Holland State Park. Most of the remainder of the cottages in the district were completed in the 1910s and 1920s. Several other boardinghouses and lodges were also constructed to serve the public, and a pair of grocery stores opened in the area.</p><br>
<p>Over the decades of the twentieth century, Ottawa Beach has tended to retain its historic character. Due to legal complications concerning ownership, the resort&#39;s "parks" have remained undeveloped. Many of the cottage lots lacked road access, discouraging new construction and modernization.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Ottawa Beach consists of two groupings of cottages constructed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The wooden structures are placed in rows along the slopes of Mt. Pisga, a tree-covered sandy hill. The two groupings of cottages are the "lower" cluster at the east end of the resort grounds overlooking Lake Macatawa, and the "upper" cluster at the west end overlooking Lake Michigan. Cottage lots are platted in parallel rows, fronting on pedestrian walkways. Other portions of the resort grounds are platted as a series of "parks," intended to be undeveloped grounds held in common by the residents.</p><br>
<p>Cottages at the resort are primarily summer residences, and few are winterized. They are wood-frame buildings, mostly with wood siding. Nearly all cottages have wide verandas along the front, with many having upper story portions.</p><br>
<p>The Estate Carolina Sugar Plantation near Coral Bay on Saint John, USA Virgin Islands is a historic sugar plantation and later rum distillery.</p><br>
<p>The sugar plantation for sugar cane growing and processing was in operation during the colonial Danish West Indies period.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The listing included eight contributing sites on a 117 acre property.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Estate Carolina was the starting point of the successful 1733 slave insurrection on St. John which began on 23 November and carried almost the entire island of St. John.</p><br>
<p>The plantation&#39;s ruins include:</p><br>
<p>sugar factory — built c.1725.</p><br>
<p>animal mill — built c.1725.</p><br>
<p>stone windmill tower — built in 1733.</p><br>
<p>original distillery for bay rum production — built in c.1900</p><br>
<p>a later distillery with "1925" upon it</p><br>
<p>other Estate Carolina buildings from c.1900, 1920, and 1945.</p><br>
<p>Očaga Lake  is an artificial lake in central Serbia. It is located on the territory of the City of Belgrade, in the municipality of Lazarevac.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Očaga Lake is located in the valley of the Lukavica river, south of the Očaga canal. It is situated on the territory of the village of Petka, a western suburb of Lazarevac, though it is closer to Šopić, the northern suburb. The lake is 60 km south-west from downtown Belgrade, on the Ibar Highway. There are actually two adjoining lakes with the same name, so for distinction, they are called Nova Očaga (New Očaga) and Stara Očaga (Old Očaga).</p><br>
<h2>New Očaga</h2><br>
<p>New Očaga is what is usually considered as Očaga in colloquial language. The lake covers an area of 12 hectare, has a concrete bottom and is 6 m deep. It was constructed specifically as the swimming resort and it is supplied with water from the underground springs which is filtered and controlled on a daily basis, so the water is suitable for swimming and water sports. The lake has a diving boards, water slide a pool and lifeguards and divers present. Entire lake is encircled with the pedestrian path and a green ring, including high oak trees. One part of the shore is turned into the sandy beach with parasols made only from natural materials. The capacity of the lake is 6,000 visitors daily. The beach is decorated with the flower gardens and has a courts for futsal and beach volleyball. The lake also has an artificial water-jet fountain. As the lake is right next to the highway, with a large parking, restaurant, plateau and proper lighting, it is often a location of the festivals, concerts and workshops, and is a major camping area in the region. That makes if the center of the cultural life in Lazarevac. The lake is populated with common carp, grass carp and Prussian carp, but the fish is in the lake only to maintain the balance of the lake&#39;s ecosystem and the fishing is strictly forbidden.</p><br>
<h2>Old Očaga</h2><br>
<p>Old Očaga is immediately north of New Očaga. It is elongated, 800 m long and 40 m and basically is a canal. The lake&#39;s shore was cleaned from the undergrowth and the lake was cleaned from the mud and tree branches. It has a very clean water and is populated with fish, mostly Prussian carp, common bream and common roach. Unlike New Očaga, fishing is allowed, but with a mandatory permit. Storks and herons live around the lake.</p><br>
<p>The Broadway Avenue Historic District is a historic commercial district in the North Broadway neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States. The commercial district is the historic center of Cleveland&#39;s Czech community, and is an excellent example of a district that grew along a streetcar line. The historic district includes 43 buildings constructed between 1888 and 1930, including the Hruby Conservatory of Music and Our Lady of Lourdes Church and School. The commercial district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 19, 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Emergence of the historic district</h2><br>
<p>In 1662, Charles II of England, ignoring existing Native American claims to the area, granted to the Connecticut Colony all lands to the west between the 41st and 42nd parallels of north latitude. These rights began at the western border of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations and extended to the Pacific Ocean, although they did not include lands already ceded to the Province of New York or the Province of Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, Charles and other English monarchs had also pledged these same lands to the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Province of New York, Plymouth Colony, and the Colony of Virginia. In 1786, Connecticut ceded all its land claims to the federal government in exchange for cancellation of its American Revolutionary War debts. Connecticut retained only those lands known as the Connecticut Western Reserve, an area bounded by Lake Erie on the north, Pennsylvania on the east, and the 41st parallel of north latitude on the south. The Western Reserve extended for exactly 120 mi to the west, and came to an abrupt halt.</p><br>
<p>On August 3, 1795, the state of Connecticut sold the Western Reserve to the Connecticut Land Company for $1.2 million ($ in dollars). In 1811, Youngs L. Morgan, Sr., an emigrant from Connecticut, purchased from the Connecticut Land Company 100 acre of land around what is now the intersection of E. 55th Street and Broadway Avenues. He and his heirs continued to farm this land until 1872. Others who owned land nearby were Charles Barkwill (a brickmaker), Eliezar Cable (who founded an orchard and nursery), Samuel Dille, Sr., (whose 90 acre farm straddled the intersection of Broadway and Dille Avenue), Jabesh Gallup (who founded a nursery), Moses Jewett, and Simeon Streetor (who farmed 220 acre along Broadway).</p><br>
<p>In 1808, James Kingsbury, a local judge and former military officer, gave 50 acre of land at the intersection of Broadway and E. 55th to his son-in-law, Dyer Sherman (who had wed Kingsburys daughter, Abigail). Sherman erected a tavern there, which became well-known among residents of the area. In 1827, John L. Wightman purchased 10 acre of land on the southwest side of Broadway Avenue between what is now McBride and Fowler Avenues. He erected Wightmans Tavern there, a waystation for travelers which became one of the most famous in the northeast Ohio.</p><br>
<p>In February 1849, construction began in Cleveland on the northern end of the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad. (Construction on the southern leg began in Wellsville, Ohio, in July 1847.) The line reached Hudson, Ohio, in February 1851, and Freedom (now Alliance, Ohio) on July 4, 1851. The northern leg was connected to the southern leg in 1852. Development of the railroad spurred extensive industrial activity along Broadway Avenue, which it largely paralleled until reaching Bedford, Ohio. One of the most important of these was Grasselli Chemical, founded in 1856 by Eugene Grasselli.</p><br>
<p>For a short time in the late 1850s, the Cuyahoga County Fair was held at Broadway and E. 55th before moving to a more permanent home.</p><br>
<h3>Early Czech settlements in Cleveland</h3><br>
<p>Czech people were among the earliest groups to emigrate to the United States in large numbers, with the first wave of Czech immigration occurring in the 1850s. Large numbers of Czech people settled in Chicago, Illinois, and in St. Louis, Missouri. Many Czech immigrants headed for the Midwestern United States used Cleveland as a midway stopping point, intending to move on. But large numbers of Czechs actually settled in the city, and soon Cleveland had one of the largest Czech populations in the nation.</p><br>
<p>The first Czech neighborhoods in Cleveland were on the east bank of the Cuyahoga River in an area bounded by Hill, Cross, and Commercial streets. By 1853, two more small Czech communities had been built on west bank of the Cuyahoga River south of Ohio City, in what are now the Clark-Fulton and Brooklyn Centre neighborhoods. Many Czech immigrants to Cleveland at this time had been farmers. Cleveland farmer Harvey Rice employed many Czech agricultural laborers, and allowed them to purchase farmland from him at reasonable prices. Over the years, a large Czech community grew up around the intersection of E. 37th Street and Croton Avenue north of Kingsbury Run. The first Catholic church to serve Cleveland&#39;s burgeoning Czech community was St. Wenceslas Church, constructed in 1867 at the intersection of E. 35th Street and Burwell Avenue (a block north-northwest of E. 37th and Croton).</p><br>
<p>The Croton Czech settlement remained the center of Czech life in Cleveland until the late 1870s. On January 10, 1870, John D. Rockefeller and his partners established the Standard Oil company. By March 1872, Standard Oil had absorbed nearly every other petroleum refining company in Cleveland and had a national monopoly on oil refining. At this time, refined petroleum products were still primarily delivered in wooden barrels, and Standard Oil began employing large numbers of Czech Americans as coopers (barrel makers). More and more Czech Americans and Czech immigrants settled in the Croton area due to Standard Oil&#39;s need for workers. The Warren School, an elementary school that was the first public school in the North Broadway area, was established in 1871 just north of the intersection of Warren Avenue and Dille Street. (The site is now beneath the Interstate 77-Interstate 490 interchange.)</p><br>
<h3>Creation of the Broadway district</h3><br>
<p>Four factors encouraged the growth of the Czech community south of the Croton neighborhood, and the creation of the Broadway commercial district. First, several farms south of Kingsbury Run were subdivided into smaller parcels and into housing plots beginning in 1878. This put this land into the price range of the average worker. Second, a number of new bridges were built over Kingsbury Run in the area, permitting north-south traffic. This allowed workers to move out of the over-crowded Croton area while retaining easy access to their jobs at the Standard Oil plant north of the stream. Third, the rapidly growing Standard Oil refineries, with their concomitant noise and pollution, encouraged residents to leave the Croton area for neighborhoods further away. Fourth, a new wave of Czech immigration to Cleveland began in 1870, and these new immigrants needed homes and land to live on.</p><br>
<p>The first new substantial Czech American settlement south of Kingsbury Run was at the intersection of Trumbull Avenue and E. 37th Street. This neighborhood became known in the Czech language as Na Vrsku (On the Hill). In 1892, St. Wenceslas Church began construction of a new church at the intersection of E. 37th Street and Broadway, a block south of Trumbull Avenue. (This structure was not completed until 1899, although services began to be held there much earlier than that). The country road that became Broadway Avenue had existed since the early part of the 1800s, and as more and more Czech Americans moved into the area, development began moving south down Broadway. Czech immigrants brought with them a cultural legacy of gardening, and most new homes in the area consisted of small cottages with front and back yard flower and kitchen gardens. New streets were constructed, many with Czech names like Praha and Svoboda. Bohemian National Hall, believed by historians to be the first structure in Cleveland erected by an immigrant group, was constructed at the intersection of Broadway and Mead Avenues in 1897. Banks, churches, and retail stores were built along Broadway Avenue, and by 1900 the intersection of E. 55th and Broadway had emerged as the center of the new Czech community—supplanting the earlier concentration of homes and businesses at Broadway and Trumbull.</p><br>
<h2>History of the Broadway Historic District</h2><br>
<p>Known as Žižkov, the commercial district on Broadway Avenue began at E. 37th Street and ended at Union Avenue.</p><br>
<h3>Growth: 1870 to 1900</h3><br>
<p>In the 1870s, there were three major developments in the area. The first was the construction in 1872 of Broadway Methodist Church at 5246 Broadway. By 1920, it was the largest non-Catholic Czech church in Cleveland, and one of the richest. A wealthy member paid several artists to travel to Italy in 1957 to measure and study the Leonardo da Vinci&#39;s The Last Supper and paint a life-size copy over the altar at Broadway Methodist. (The replica remains the largest and most accurate Last Supper in the United States.) The burgeoning community received its first public school in 1875 when the city erected South School (later renamed Barkwill School) on the northwest corner of Dolloff Road and Barkwill Avenue, a block southwest of Broadway. The southern edge of the district became defined in March 1880 when Joseph Turner & Sons Manufacturing Company opened its first woolen mill on the southwest corner of Blanche Avenue and Broadway.</p><br>
<p>The 1880s saw the area receive its first law enforcement presence, when Police Station No. 4 was built in 1883 at 3355 E. 55th Street. Other retail businesses on E. 55th just north of the police station were Janousecks millinery shop, Eyerdams barber shop, Kumlers carriage shop, Yosts livery stable, and several funeral homes catering specifically to the Czech community. Five major new developments also occurred in the 1880s. The first of these was the erection in 1883 of the areas second public school, the Fowler School, on the southeast corner of Fowler Avenue and Hector Street (a block northeast of Broadway). The second development was the establishment of Broadway Bank in 1883. Founded by Oliver Meade Stafford and Charles Grasselli (owner of nearby Grasselli Chemicals), it was one of first suburban banks in the United States and the first suburban bank in Cleveland. Its headquarters were at 5455 Broadway Avenue, facing the intersection of Broadway and E. 55th. Later known as the Broadway Savings and Trust Company, the bank became one of the strongest in city, largely due to Czech American business. The third major development was the erection in 1884 of St. Alexis Hospital at 5163 Broadway Avenue. Only the second Catholic hospital in Cleveland, it initially occupied an eight-room brick house. Construction began on a 32-bed acute-care hospital in 1885. The worlds first human-to-human blood transfusion occurred at St. Alexis in 1906. The fourth development was the incorporation in December 1886 of the Canfield Oil Company. This new refinery was erected in 1887 on the northeast corner of the intersection of Lufkin Avenue and E. 55th Street. The last development of the decade occurred in 1889, when St. Johannes Evangelical Lutheran Church was built on Cable Avenue a half block northeast of Broadway.</p><br>
<p>The 1890s saw the erection of Our Lady of Lourdes Church, one of the most prominent structures in the neighborhood. The swiftly-growing Czech American community south of St. Wenceslas moved the Roman Catholic Diocese of Cleveland to establish a new parish to serve the middle-Broadway area. In 1882, the diocese authorized Rev. Anton Hynek to purchase property at E. 55th and Hamm Avenue for the new parish. Bishop Richard Gilmour recruited Czech seminarian Stephen Furdek to minister to the new parish. While on his way to the United States, Furdek visited the Our Lady of Lourdes Shrine near the town of Lourdes in France. Furdek promised the Virgin Mary to name the new parish after Our Lady of Lourdes. Although the parish was formally established in 1883, construction of the Gothic Revival church, designed by architects Emile Ulrich and Bernard Van De Velde, did not begin until 1891. Our Lady of Lourdes Church became a central institution in the community. Under Furdeks pastoral care, it grew to more than 6,000 parishioners by 1920. It sponsored more than 45 different chapters, groups, societies and other associated membership organizations, including book groups, a musical drama society, a hunters and fishers&#39; group, a forestry association, a gymnastics club, and an organization designed to encourage youth to join the military. Our Lady of Lourdes School (which taught first through sixth grades) was founded adjacent to the church in 1905, and staffed by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. Between 1915 and 1955, a convent, gymnasium, and rectory were all added to the Lourdes campus. Instruction in grades seven through nine was added in 1939, and a high school in 1944.</p><br>
<p>Other major developments in the 1890s included the establishment of Columbia Savings and Loan (located at E. 55th and Broadway) in 1891, the initiation of streetcar service along Broadway to Union Avenue in 1893, the founding of Vcela Savings and Loan in March 1896 at 5733 Broadway, and the first publication of the American, a daily Czech language newspaper, in 1899 at its headquarters at 5377 Broadway. In time, the American would become one of the three largest non-English language newspapers in the city.</p><br>
<h3>Acme of the district: 1900 to 1930</h3><br>
<p>The first two decades of the 20th century mark the high point of the Broadway Historic District&#39;s existence. A third wave of Czech immigration to Cleveland began in 1900, drawn by the growing steel industry in the city. These immigrants were remarkably well-educated, with a literacy rate of 98.5 percent (greater than that of most other Americans). The accommodate strong community demand, the Cleveland Public Library established the Broadway Branch Library in 1902 at 5437 Broadway Avenue. The building was a unique structure with 10 sides, and as of 2009 was one of the few 10-sided buildings still standing in the United States.</p><br>
<p>By 1910, Cleveland had the largest Czech community in the United States. The Žižkov community was so large and economically and politically powerful that a city newspaper quipped, "There is no truth in the rumor that the capital of the Czechoslovak Republic will be removed from Prague to the neighborhood of Broadway and E. 55th streets, Cleveland."</p><br>
<p>On April 14, 1912, the Olympia Theatre opened at 3335 E. 55th Street. Designed by architect George Allen Grieble, the 2,000-seat theater occupied 200 ft of E. 55th Street and 250 ft of Hamlet Avenue. It featured a $10,000 ($ in dollars) Moller pipe organ, interior design by Sterling & Welch, and a luxurious theater curtain and drapes by The May Co. A mixed-use development, the building featured room on the first floor for eight retail stores, and 30 apartments on the second and third floors.</p><br>
<p>The second wave of Czech immigration ended in 1914 with the outbreak of World War I. The Broadway area continued to grow for a time, however, and by 1920 the two blocks north and south of Broadway and E. 55th boasted six banks. Among the new banks founded during the 1910s was the Atlas Savings and Loan, founded in 1915. Located at 5454 Broadway Avenue, this bank proved to be the fastest-growing of the new financial institutions. The bank later funded construction of the Atlas Building at 5644 Broadway, which served as its home until 1921. The Atlas Building served as the headquarters of the Progress Savings and Loan from 1921 to 1939, and from 1939 to 1960 as the headquarters of the Czech Catholic Union. Another bank founded at this time was the Oul Building and Loan company at 5638 Broadway which was incorporated in December 1915.</p><br>
<p>Probulov Hall, a Czech community meeting place at 5284 Broadway, was constructed in 1915. On October 22, 1915, Czechs and Slovaks signed the Cleveland Agreement at Bohemian National Hall. The agreement called for a federal Czech and Slovak state, and this led to the Pittsburgh Agreement of 1918. The Pittsburgh Agreement led directly to the formation of an independent Czechoslovakia after World War I.</p><br>
<p>Some of the last major institutions in the Broadway Historic District were founded in the early 1920s. These included Bethlehem Chapel, a Congregational church which opened in 1921 at the intersection of Broadway and Fowler Avenues, and Tate Field. Tate Field was an athletic field created in February 1921 to serve as the home field of the Cleveland Tate Stars, a Negro National League professional baseball league. The team folded in 1924, and the field was renamed Hooper Field (also referred to as Slavia Hooper Field). On September 26, 1926, more than 6,000 people watched Sparta, a professional soccer team from Prague, defeat the Ohio All-Stars 6-to-2 at Hooper Field.</p><br>
<p>At the close of the 1920s, the Broadway commercial district was home to numerous bakeries, banks, businesses, and music stores. It was the largest shopping district out of Cleveland&#39;s downtown, and with 90,000 residents in the area North Broadway was the second-largest Czech community in the United States (only Chicago was larger). The Czech and other Slavic communities in the area had had a "profound effect on the development of Cleveland".</p><br>
<h3>Decline: 1930s to 2000s</h3><br>
<p>The Great Depression bankrupted many of the banks and merchants in the Broadway retail corridor, but the street managed to remain an important shopping area into the 1940s. Hooper Field closed in 1936. One bright spot was the founding of Third Federal Savings and Loan in 1938. Its conservative lending policies allowed it to survive the Great Depression, and by the 21st century it had grown into an $11 billion corporation.</p><br>
<p>The area went into a long decline after World War II. But from 1945 to 1970, the Cleveland area shed most of is heavy industry, and the loss of industrial jobs hit the North Broadway neighborhood particularly hard. Cleveland also suffered significantly from a strong trend toward suburbanization, and by 1970 the Broadway district had lost 36 percent of its population. Redlining in lending caused further economic harm, as banks denied loans to retailers and individuals in the poverty-stricken area.</p><br>
<p>Pollution also proved to be a significant problem in the area. By 1920, North Broadway had become wedged between the giant steel factories of Jones and Laughlin Steel and Republic Steel. Heavy smoke and fumes did significant environmental damage to the area, destroying gardens and trees. No action was taken during the Great Depression to mitigate this pollution, as the city valued what few jobs the steel mills could provide over quality of life issues. Environmental concerns became more prominent in the 1950s, but city leaders believed that a laissez-faire approach to regulation was essential to the city&#39;s continued growth. The heavy pollution drove many residents out of the area.</p><br>
<p>Highway construction also created significant problems for the retail district. In 1955, federal, state, and regional highway planners proposed construction of an interstate highway across the southern part of Cleveland. Known primarily as the Clark Freeway, the six-lane limited-access freeway would begin West Boulevard in the Cudell neighborhood; cut across the Detroit-Shoreway, Ohio City, and Tremont neighborhoods; bridge Industrial Valley and the Cuyahoga River; and then cut across the North Broadway, Kinsman, Woodland Hills, and Buckeye-Shaker neighborhoods before exiting the city and connecting with Lee Road in the adjacent suburb of Cleveland Heights. A second interstate highway, the Willow Freeway, would begin near Lake Erie at the Cleveland Memorial Shoreway, largely follow the border between Downtown Cleveland/Goodrich-Kirtland Park and Industrial Valley/North Broadway, and cut across South Broadway before exiting the city and cutting through the towns of Newburgh Heights and Cuyahoga Heights to connect with a new "outer belt" east-west freeway in northern Independence, Ohio. A total of 465 homes, churches, and businesses were demolished between Broadway/E. 37th Street and Broadway/Gallup Avenue, including St. Wenceslas Church (which closed in 1962). Construction began in April 1964, and the north-south I-77 portion of the interchange completed in November 1965. The eastern portion of the interchange, I-490 connecting E. 55th Street with I-77, opened about July 31, 1966. But the bridge over Industrial Valley connecting the interchange to Interstate 90 was not opened until September 1990. Strong opposition to the extension of I-490 past E. 55th Street resulted in the cancellation of the route.</p><br>
<p>Our Lady of Lourdes High School closed in the fall of 1969 and merged with Cleveland Central Catholic High School.</p><br>
<p>The Broadway retail corridor&#39;s decline worsened in the 1970s and 1980s. By 1990, just 8,852 people lived in North Broadway, a nearly 45 percent decline in 20 years. In the 1970s, the term "Slavic Village" was coined to promote the area. Slavic Village encompass the neighborhood of North Broadway and Union-Miles Park as well as portions of Kinsman and South Broadway. These areas were all Eastern European ethnic neighborhoods in steep decline.</p><br>
<p>The Olympia Theatre closed on March 4, 1981, after a short-lived attempt to survive as an adult movie theater. Efforts to redevelop the building began in 1983, but it was not until 1987 that the new owners received property tax credits which enabled the renovation to move forward. While the apartments and retail space were refurbished, the theater itself was razed for parking (although the lobby was saved).</p><br>
<h3>Great Recession: 2000 to present</h3><br>
<p>The Broadway retail district began to under a slight renaissance in the 1990s. This was primarily due to the work of Slavic Village Development, a community development corporation founded in 1980.</p><br>
<p>St. Alexis was one of the largest positive economic drivers of the retail district. Over the past century, the hospital had added a nursing school (1918), medical building (1955), and service wing with an emergency room, maternity ward, and radiology department (1959). But the hospital was in financial difficulty by the late 1980s. In June 1994, for-profit, Pennsylvania-based Primary Health Systems (PHS) purchased the hospital and renamed it St. Michael Hospital. PHS went bankrupt in 1999, With the hospital about to close, University Hospitals of Cleveland purchased St. Michael&#39;s and another PHS hospital in Cleveland for $12 million in May 2000. But losses at the hospital continued, and it finally closed for good on December 19, 2003. The city of Cleveland purchased the hospital campus</p><br>
<p>and razed all the buildings there in 2007.</p><br>
<p>Improvements in the area led to a real estate bubble. Between 2005 and 2006, 68 percent of all loans made in the Slavic Village area were predatory.</p><br>
<p>The widespread predatory lending and sweeping extent of foreclosures in Slavic Village led the mass media to declare the area the "epicenter of the Great Recession". Spurred by the financial crisis, Slavic Village lost 30 percent of its population over the next decade.</p><br>
<p>In 2010, Broadway United Methodist closed. The North Broadway neighborhood&#39;s population had dropped to 9,000 residents. The population would have dropped to almost 6,000 but for the influx of about 3,000 African Americans, drawn to the area by the exceptionally inexpensive housing made available by the foreclosure crisis. Once overwhelmingly white, North Broadway was by 2010 50 percent white and 40 percent black, and an extraordinary 38 percent of its residents had incomes below the poverty line.</p><br>
<p>Despite the challenges facing the area, the heart of the Czech community in Cleveland remained centered on E. 55th Street and Broadway Avenue into the 21st century, and had by one historian&#39;s account become "famous".</p><br>
<h2>About the historic district</h2><br>
<p>The Broadway Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 19, 1988. It consists of two primary streets: Broadway Avenue between Cable Avenue and Barkwill Avenue, and E. 55th Street between Lufkin Avenue and Broadway Avenue.</p><br>
<p>The historic district contains 43 commercial buildings constructed between 1888 and 1930, Our Lady of Lourdes Church, and Our Lady of Lourdes School.

<p>Wahe Falls, also called Moffett Creek Falls, is a 80-foot waterfall on the Columbia River Gorge, Multnomah County, Oregon, United States. Wahe Falls is the last of several waterfalls along Moffett Creek. The mouth of the Creek is within the limits of the John B. Yeon State Scenic Corridor.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The name of the waterfall is Wahe, although the USGS pinned the name to the next waterfall upstream of Moffett Creek. As a consequence, Wahe Falls has been colloquially known as Moffett Creek Falls. The exact meaning of Mahe is not known. The waterfalls upstream is also called "Upper Mahe".</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>While Moffett Creek starts with Gorge Trail #400, a short trail at the west skirt of Munra Point, it does not extend all the way to Wahe Falls. Access to the waterfall continues following the Creek and its side terrains. Several shorter but steep waterfalls precede Wahe Falls downstream, making it moderately difficult to reach. Skilled canyoning is required to proceed past Wahe Falls to upstream waterfalls including Upper Wahe, Apocalypse Falls, and Kwanesum Falls.</p><br>
<p>The Enfield Historic District encompasses a two-mile stretch of Enfield Street, the main north-south road of Enfield, Connecticut. Centered on the town common with its church and old town hall, it includes a diversity of residential architecture from the 18th to early 20th centuries. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Enfield was settled in the 17th century and incorporated in 1683. Enfield Street, now designated United States Route 5, has from an early date been the principal north-south route just east of the Connecticut River, set on a ridge above its flood plain. Lots were laid out as strips of land from the road to the river, with houses located near the road and the rest used for agriculture. This land use pattern persisted into the 20th century, generally avoiding commercial development. The result is a landscape of primarily residential architecture extending across three centuries, with central cluster of civic buildings.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is essentially linear, running along Enfield Street for 2 mi from Connecticut Route 190 in the north to the junction of Old King Street and Oliver Road in the south. Residential architecture predominates in the district, with wood frame houses 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 stories in height. Stylistically they are diverse, although layout and spatial arrangement are fairly consistent. The most elaborate house is that of Orrin Thompson, at the southeast corner of Enfield Street and South Road; it is a large brick Greek Revival house built in 1832 for the founder of Enfields carpet-making businesses. It overlooks the towns 17th-century parade ground, near which also stand the 1848 Congregational Church, and the former town hall, both of which are also in the Greek Revival.</p><br>
<p>The Fischer House, at 15 Lake St. in Lake Providence in East Carroll Parish, Louisiana, was built in about 1905. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>It was built by lumber company owner Joseph L. Fischer. The house is notable architecturally for its open floor plan, preceding the Modernist movement by decades. Its main living area features dark wood wainscoting and a massive fireplace. It has galleries on at least two sides, 60 ft and 70 ft long. The house was owned by the Pittman family during 1920-29 and 1938-68. It was purchased by the Lake Providence American Legion in 1929. The house served as a social center for the Lake Providence community, both as used by the Fischers and by the American Legionnaires. Its lake front became a public swim area with a pier for public fishing.</p><br>
<p>The Heuberg, also called Rosalia, is, and thus the highest peak in the Rosalia Mountains.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<h3>Location</h3><br>
<p>The Heuberg lies on the territory of Forchtenstein in the Austrian state of Burgenland, northeast of the Hochwolkersdorf hamlet of Hollerberg and northwest of the village of Rosalienhäuser in the Forchtenstein cadastral municipality of Neustift an der Rosalia. The border with Lower Austria runs past the summit only about 150 metres to the west and south. To the northwest is the village of Heuberg in the cadastral municipality of Ofenbach in the municipality of Lanzenkirchen, where there is a forestry training centre for the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna. The Heuberg&#39;s neighbouring summits are the Auerberg and the Hartlspitz to the south. The Wulka rises on the northeastern mountainside of the Heuberg.</p><br>
<h3>Geology</h3><br>
<p>Geologically the Heuberg is made of coarse gneiss. Its slopes are dominated by agricultural fields, but the summit area is wooded.</p><br>
<h2>Sport</h2><br>
<p>On its southern slopes below the Rosalia Chapel is a ski and toboggan slope. In the winter, when the snow is good enough there is a roughly 150-metre-long drag lift, which is mainly used by parents with their children.</p><br>
<h2>Structures</h2><br>
<p>At the top is the Rosalia Chapel, a well-known pilgrimage church. A road runs to it from the settlement of Rosalienhäuser. On the northern side of the Heuberg is the Heuberg Transmitter.</p><br>
<p>The Capitol North Historic District in Cheyenne, Wyoming is a 20.4 acre historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The district is roughly bounded by E. 29th, and E. 25th St., Warren and Pioneer Avenues. It included 112 contributing buildings, a contributing structure, and two contributing objects.</p><br>
<p>Located near to the Wyoming State Capitol and other state buildings, it includes mostly frame construction cottages built for the middle to upper class market. It includes numerous houses where governors, judges, and other professionals have lived, including for example the Governor Leslie Miller Home on the 200 block of W. 26th St. Included in the southwest corner of the district is Gilchrist Park.</p><br>
<p>Elowah Falls, also called McCord Creek Falls, is a 213-foot waterfall on the Columbia River Gorge, Multnomah County, Oregon, United States. Elowah Falls is one of several waterfalls along McCord Creek. The Creek and the waterfall are within the limits of the John B. Yeon State Scenic Corridor.</p><br>
<p>The name of the waterfall carried the name of the creek that forms it: McCord Falls. In 1915 the Mazamas successfully had the falls renamed to Elowah. The meaning of the term is unknown.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The waterfall is formed as McCord Creek is forced into a narrow channel by sheer cliffs and shoots at high velocity into a natural amphitheater of layered basalt. Lichens and mosses are very common, covering up to eighty percent of the ground surface under and around the vascular plants.</p><br>
<p>The Baxter Ranch Headquarters Buildings, at 912-922 E. 18th St. and 1810-1920 Morris Avenue in Cheyenne, Wyoming, were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>According to the NRHP nomination:</p><br>
<p>The cabin and barn were once part of the George W. Baxter Ranch headquarterswhich was located in the Hillsdale area about twenty miles east of Cheyenne. The two structures, built about 1885, were moved to Cheyenne approximately in 1904, and the log cabin was converted into a two story, four-unit apartment building while the log barn became a two-story duplex. To move the structures was a major undertaking. They were dismantled log by log, and each log was numbered and replaced in its exact, original position. Spaces between the logs were packed with oakum, and the logs and oakum remain in excellent condition. Sewer and water lines were installed in 1904, sidewalks were finished in 1910, and paving on Eighteenth Street was apparently completed by 1924. The log cabin, described in local newspaper articles as a "palatial rustic mansion" represents a very late example of rustic architecture and construction. Moreover, the structure reflects some French Colonial influence, a style which came to the Mississippi Valley from Canada and the West Indies. High-hipped roofs with projecting gables are characteristic of the style, as well as the surrounding galleries, or piazzas, which were hot-climate additions. Dimensions of the cabin, including 1904 clapboard additions containing kitchens, baths and extra bedrooms, are approximately 81 feet by 58 feet. The logs used in its construction, each nine inches in diameter, were laid in alternating tiers and carefully cut and fitted into lock-notch cornerings. Fainttraces of paint indicate that at one time the logs, shipped from the Pacific Coast by the Baxters, were brown in color.</p><br>
<p>Ponta das Bicudas is the southeasternmost point of the island of Santiago, Cape Verde, at the point, its separates Praia Harbor with the rest of the Atlantic. It is about 2 km southeast of Achada Grande Tras, a neighborhood of Praia once a separate village. Its length is about a kilometer long from north to south and its width is about 590 meters, its shoreline is 2.29 km long, the highest point is 39 meters. Its area is 42 ha, larger than nearby Ponta Temerosa but smaller than the headland of Ponta do Lobo. Until 2010, it was one of the headlands in the nation that has no immediate roads or tracks around it.The headland begins at Portinho and its beach up to the point near Monte Faxo,</p><br>
<h2>About the point and the headland</h2><br>
<p>The etymology of the point name is that the waters off the point were bumpy with high winds and high waves, as it was the place from there, where one of the shipping lanes in the colonial times had rough seas, the lane with Brazil and Gabon did not. Bicuda is also Portuguese for woodcock which are not founded in Cape Verde. The other that the headland area is bumpy.</p><br>
<p>Some 200 meters around it has the depth of 5 meters, 15 meters 500 meters southeast and about 30 meters 800 meters east. About 1.5 km has waters 100 meters deep, about 10 km immediately to the south and east has a depth of 1,000 meters and that portion forms a part of the Cape Verde Rise. 20-30 km away has the deepest portion being about 3,000 meters below sea level, further south is the Cape Verde Basin where waters are up to 4,000-5,000 meters deep.</p><br>
<p>During the Ice Age, the point then unnamed was about a kilometer southeast.</p><br>
<p>The island along with the point was first discovered by António da Noli in 1460 and is considered the second point to be discovered. Before the southeastern part was settled around the 16th century, the area was predominantly full of shrubs. The area around the point was first settled around the 16th century.</p><br>
<p>In the 1747 French/Dutch map by Jacques Nicolas Bellin, the point as "Ponta Bikkude" (Bicuda) was mentioned near Ponta Moreia which is not the island&#39;s northernmost point but in the east. On the map, the point not named was thought to be the southernmost in the archipelago. It is not the same as this point as the point in the north is named Ponta Bicuda or Ponta Bicuda de Fazenda. It was mentioned as "Punta das Bicudas" in an 1884 map Imray after he visited the archipelago.</p><br>
<p>On 16 April 1781, before the Battle of Porto Praya (part of the American Revolutionary War) took place between Britain and France, several ships were near the harbour. Close to the point were three French vessels including Héros (or Hero) and Annibal which headed midway into the harbour between the small islet of Santa Maria and closte Ponta de Visconde (now Ponta do Porto) and further south Vengeur which went close to the islet.</p><br>
<p>In the 1990s, the area nearby the point underwent urban developments. Around 2010, most of the headland except for the easternmost area has likely built new villas, around 2014, construction stopped and has not resumed today. North of the headland may be a golf club, hotels or an amusement park. Northwest of the headland, the area around a small stream has become partly forested.</p><br>
<h2>Nature</h2><br>
<p>The headland has different fauna within and outside including birds such as the Cape Verde (Iago) sparrow (Passer iagoensis) and the Cape Verde warbler and insects and reptiles. In the waters surrounding the headland has marine fauna, one of them the rarest is the Two-banded seabream (Diplodus prayensis).</p><br>
<p>Economy Advertising Company is a historic building located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. Its importance is the association this company had with John Towner Frederick, and the journal he founded and edited, The Midland. This was a literary magazine that focused on regional literature from the Midwest. It featured writers whose work was not being accepted by literary journals in the eastern USA that dominated national literary circles. While The Midland had several offices during its run from 1915 to 1934, Economy Advertising Company typeset, printed and bound every edition of the journal. They also provided financial support. Frederick had worked here as an apprentice when he was a student at the University of Iowa. He went on to become the first educator to organize and teach a course in American literature when he taught at the University of Iowa. Together with Frank Luther Mott, who was sometimes a co-editor of the journal, he organized the Saturday Luncheon Club, a literary forum that was a forerunner of the Iowa Writer&#39;s Workshop. When Frederick took a position at Northwestern University, the magazine relocated to Chicago. The Midland was never financially self-sufficient, and Frederick took on its deficits himself. Financial factors finally doomed it in 1933.</p><br>
<p>Economy Advertising was founded around 1896 by Samuel W. Mercer. He had this two-story brick building constructed in 1923. In addition to The Midland, Economy published hard back books under the "Clio Press" imprint, and for several years printed the State Historical Society of Iowas journal, The Palimpsest. They also published literary works edited by Mott that included Grant Woods Revolt Against the City. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Wechsel is a low mountain range in eastern Austria whose highest summit is the Hochwechsel. It also has two other summits over 1700 m. The massif forms the border between the states of Lower Austria and Styria for about 15 km, southeast of the Semmering and northeast of the Graz Basin, between the Feistritz Saddle and the eponymous pass of Wechsel.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Wechsel is part of the Prealps East of the Mur. It is – apart from the Vienna Woods which are half the height – the easternmost range in the Alps. Its highest point, at, is the Hochwechsel, formerly called the Hoher Umschuss, at the top of which is the Wetterkoglerhaus, an Alpine Club hut belonging to the Austrian Alpine Club. From there the crest of the mountains runs northwest to the Umschußriegel (,) continuing to the Schöberlriegel, and east to the Niederwechsel.</p><br>
<p>The Wechsel is the boundary between the Styrian Joglland and the Bucklige Welt, which stretches from the Vienna Basin to the extreme southeast of Lower Austria. To the east this region transitions into the Pinka valley, the Güns Mountains and the Pannonian Plain.</p><br>
<p>Important settlements at the foot of the Wechsel, which benefit from tourism associated with the mountain, are Aspang, Aspangberg-St. Peter, Dechantskirchen, Feistritz am Wechsel, Friedberg, Kirchberg am Wechsel, Mönichkirchen, Mönichwald, Pinggau, Trattenbach, Sankt Corona am Wechsel, Sankt Jakob im Walde, Sankt Lorenzen am Wechsel, Vorau, Waldbach and Wenigzell.</p><br>
<p>The Mason Historic District in Mason, Texas is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was listed in 1974 and increased in 1991. The original district was a 230 acre forming an irregular pattern along both sides of USA 87 and TX 29 which included 186 contributing buildings and six contributing structures. The increase added 14 contributing building and a contributing site on 20 acre roughly along Post Hill Rd. from College Ave. to Spruce St.</p><br>
<p>It includes the Mason County Courthouse.</p><br>
<p>It includes the local Odeon Theater as a contributing building. In 2017, the theater claims it is the oldest operating theater in West Texas.</p><br>

<p>Little Llwygy Farmhouse, Cwmyoy, Monmouthshire, Wales, is a farmhouse of two building dates, the earlier of the 15th century, the latter of the 17th. The farmhouse is Grade II* listed.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The origin of the farmhouse is late-medieval, possibly the early 15th century. In their three-volume history, Monmouthshire Houses, Sir Cyril Fox and Lord Raglan described it as "the only example of a mediaeval one-roomed house open to the roof in Monmouthshire". The building was extended in the 17th century, possibly around 1610, by the construction of a larger, two-storey, block. The farmhouse was listed Grade II* in 1956. In 2012, the house was on the market for £425,000.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and description</h2><br>
<p>The earlier block consists of a single room, constructed in stone. It contains a "splendid" fireplace. This structure is now used for storage. The 16th century extension, also in Old Red Sandstone, is two-storeyed with an attic.</p><br>
<p>Rekawa Lagoon  is a coastal waterbody located in Hambantota Districtt in the Southern Province, Sri Lanka and it is located 200 km south of Colombo. The lagoon possesses a rich biodiversity with a variety of flora  and fauna .</p><br>
<h2>Features</h2><br>
<p>Rekawa Lagoon is a comparatively small coastal lagoon with a water surface area of 2.4 km&sup2;. The lagoon is connected to the Indian Ocean with a 3 km narrow inland waterway. Rekawa lagoon is shallow with a depth of averaging 1.4 m and the widest point is approximately 2.5 km. Most parts of the lagoon are encircled with a mangrove belt. Kirama-oya river (Tangalu-oya river) that enters the lagoon at the sea ward end of the inlet canal is the main freshwater supply. Apart from the main freshwater inflow, there are two small freshwater streams function only in rainy season and provide surface runoff from the catchment. The total hydro-catchment of the lagoon outlet is about 225 km&sup2;.</p><br>
<h2>Shrimp fishery</h2><br>
<p>Shrimp fishery is one of the main livelihoods among the lagoonal community. However this supports the people only during the shrimp fishery season which extends from October to April. The most abundant shrimp species in Rekawa lagoon and commercially most important shrimp species is Penaeus indicus (White shrimp).</p><br>
<h2>Environmental problems</h2><br>
<h3>Ecohydrological impact of the Kapuhenwela causeway</h3><br>
<p>In 1984 the Road Development Authority of Tangalle built a causeway called Kapuhenwela across the outlet canal; around 700 m from the lagoon mouth to the inland. Water passes under the causeway through twenty three, 23 cm diameter pipes which greatly reduce the volume and speed of water entering and leaving the lagoon system. This causeway has prevented flushing of the lagoon by natural water flow, causing continues sedimentation in the lagoon. In 1999 a bridge of 6.2 m in length was constructed in place of the part of the causeway in order to improve free water flow. After the Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004, minor damage was inflicted on the causeway and it was renovated and replaced with eight cylindrical culverts with an average diameter of 79 cm in 2005. Causeway itself and its modifications provoked concern over local resource users and environmentalists as the lagoon hydrology (ex; reduced flushing), salinity and there by the ecology (ex; reduction in shrimp catch) showed drastic changes and variations Before the construction of causeway, the effective channel cross section was 87 sqm which was then reduced to 25 m with the introduction of existing causeway structure with the bridge, a drop of 71% of effective channel cross section.</p><br>
<h3>Mangroves exploitation</h3><br>
<p>Around the lagoon, many mangrove species including Lumnitzera racemosa, Aegiceras corniculatum, Bruguiera gymnorhiza, Excoecaria agallocha, Rhizophora mcronata, Avicennia marina, and Avicennia officinalis are found. In addition to its ecological benefits (ex; shrimp and fish habitats), traditionally, Rekawa people have used mangroves for the benefit of the local community, but the increasing population has led to an increasing non-sustainable abuse of the resources. Mangroves have been exploited for timber for building dwellings and boats and fuel-wood for cooking in the area. Recent Researches discovered, even small scale cutting could affect the age composition and reproductive capacity of the mangrove forests in Rekawa lagoon.</p><br>

<p>9 Agincourt Street, Monmouth, Wales is a late 17th century townhouse which became the estate office of the agent of the Dukes of Beaufort in the mid 19th century. It is a Grade II* listed building. In commercial use since its construction, it now houses a firm of architects.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Cadw suggests a construction date close to 1700. The building was refaced in the 19th century and has since been unaltered externally. During the mid-19th century, the building was owned by the Dukes of Beaufort and used as the estate office for their substantial Monmouthshire land holdings. It was converted by a firm of architects in the late 20th century and now houses their offices. The architects were responsible for the conversion of the nearby Beaufort Arms Hotel.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and description</h2><br>
<p>The building is rendered, under a roof of Welsh slate. Of two storeys, with an attic, it has a double-front plan. The architectural historian John Newman noted the "botched" pediment while the Monmouth historian Keith Kissack recorded its Grecian fanlight. The interior has a notable dog-leg staircase dating from the late 17th century and a complete early 19th century strong-room, installed when the building was used as a solicitors&#39; office. The building is listed Grade II*.</p><br>
<p>The Menina Pasture Plateau  is a pre-Alpine karst plateau in Slovenia.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The plateau stands at an elevation between 1,200 and in the Kamnik–Savinja Alps. It is located between the Dreta Valley to the north, the Tuhinj Valley and Motnik Valley to the south, the Črnivec Pass to the west, and the Lipa Pass and Dobrovlje Plateau to the east. The plateau is approximately 20 km from east to west, and approximately 10 km from north to south. The highest point on the plateau is Mount Vidovnik (1,508 m), where there is also a lookout tower, about a 15-minute walk from the Menina Pasture Lodge (Dom na Menini planini; 1,508 m).</p><br>
<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>The plateau was attested in written sources in 1424 as Menino, and as Minitza in 1500. The name is believed to derive from a possessive form of the Slavic personal name *Měna. It is also possible, but less likely, that the name comes from *Mejnina planota border plateau, from the common noun meja border. Another theory derives the name from the noun menih monk, in connection with the former Benedictine abbey in Gornji Grad.</p><br>
<p>The Arch Hurley Conservancy District Office Building is a historic building on E. High St. in Tucumcari, New Mexico. It has also been known as the Tucumcari Project Office Building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>The main part of the building is 100.5 x and it has a 50.75 x portal. It was designed by the Bureau of Reclamation in Spanish-Pueblo Revival architecture, albeit "in a fairly austere form reflecting the building&#39;s origins-a government structure from just before World War II." It is built on a poured concrete foundation with walls that are mostly concrete block, with poured concrete in sections where roof beams tie in. It has a simple parapet and a flat roof. It uses peeled logs as posts in the portal and in post-and-beam support for the roof in the main two rooms.</p><br>

<p>Porth-y-carn, Porthycarne Street, Usk, Monmouthshire is an early 19th-century Neoclassical villa. Built c. 1834 for Thomas Reece, the agent of the "iron king", Crawshay Bailey, it is a Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The architectural historian John Newman suggests a construction date of 1834-5. The client was Thomas Reece, who served as the agent for the industrialist Crawshay Bailey. Reece also served as a Justice of the Peace, in 1845 serving on a committee of justices to enquire into allegations of misconduct against the governor of the Usk House of Correction. Reece died in 1853. In the year before his death, the house had the highest rateable value of any property in Usk. Porth-y-carn remains a private residence.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and description</h2><br>
<p>The villa is of two storeys, the doorcase flanked by a Doric columned porch. Cadw suggests that the interior retains some of its 19th century fittings and furnishings.</p><br>
<p>Gökçeler Canyon  is a canyon in Muğla Province, southwestern Turkey.</p><br>
<p>The canyon is located between the villages Gökçeler and Karacahisar in Milas district of Muğla Province. It is about 8 km long. Değirmen Creek (literally Mill Creek), also known as Hamzabey Creek, runs through the canyon, which forms waterfalls and ponds in different size along its course. It is believed that there were about 14 flour mills on the creek in the canyon in the past, remains of three mills are still existent. There are about 30 large and small caves in the canyon, with İncirliin Cave and Çatal Cave being the most significant. While İncirliin Cave is already open to the public, Çatal Cave awaits scientific exploration. Archaeological finds were discovered in the canyon.</p><br>
<p>Flora of the canyon consists of centuries-old olive (Olea europaea), walnut (Juglans), common fig (Ficus carica), plane tree (Platanus), laurel (Laurus), red pine (Pinus resinosa) and diverse shrub species. Fauna observed in the canyon area are Indian crested porcupine, hare, jackal, fox, wild boar and the bird species partridge, European turtle dove, common blackbird and quail.</p><br>
<p>The canyon offers outdoor recreational activities such as hiking, mountain climbing and cave excursion on daily basis. An observation deck serving the visitors is situated atop the canyon.</p><br>
<p>The Brooklyn Bank Building is a historic bank structure located in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States. Designed in 1904 by noted Cleveland architect J. Milton Dyer as a home for the Brooklyn Savings and Loan Association, the building exhibits a mix of architectural styles, including Neoclassical and Commercial, typical of Dyer&#39;s eclectic work.</p><br>
<p>The structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on July 19, 1984. It was listed as a contributing property to the Archwood Avenue Historic District, which was added to the NRHP on March 19, 1987. It was listed as a contributing property to the Brooklyn Centre Historic District, which was added to the NRHP on March 4, 1999.</p><br>
<h2>About the building</h2><br>
<p>The Brooklyn Savings and Loan Association was incorporated on May 25, 1888, in Brooklyn Village (now Brooklyn Centre) near Cleveland, Ohio.</p><br>
<p>In early 1904, the bank commissioned local architect Charles E. Tousley to design a $40,000 ($ in dollars) mixed-use structure to be the banks new headquarters. By April, Tousley had delivered plans for a four-story structure consisting of ground floor retail space and apartments on the upper three floors. Tousleys structure was priced at $50,000 ($ in dollars), and the bank declined to implement his plans and refused to pay him for his work. Tousley sued, and won his case in the Court of Common Pleas. The ruling was overturned by the 8th Ohio District Court of Appeals, and the appellate courts ruling affirmed by the Supreme Court of Ohio (Brooklyn Savings & Loan Assn Co. v. Tousley, 35 Ohio Cir. Ct. R. 613; affd Tousley v. Brooklyn Savings & Loan Assn, 89 N.E. 1126, 80 Ohio St. 737).</p><br>
<p>The bank then turned to noted local architect J. Milton Dyer. In August 1904, Dyer finished plans for a two-story mixed-use structure. These met the construction cap, and contracts were let. Contractors working on the building included F. & D. Lindhorst (masonry and terra cotta); J. Callaghan & Son (roof and sheet metal work); Pittsburgh Plate Glass (glass); Roebling Construction Co. (fireproofing); T.H. Brooks & Co. (iron and steel work); W.A. Eckerman Plumbing, Heating & Supply Co. (plumbing and steam heating); and the William Dunbar & Co. (carpentry). Construction was well under way by October, and it was completed by the end of the year. The bank occupied most of the ground floor, with additional space in the building filled by doctor&#39;s offices, lawyers, and realtors.</p><br>
<p>In 1901, Dyer embarked on a remarkably creative and prolific, 11-year period of architectural design that in time gave him a national reputation. By 1906, he was so well known that Architectural Record devoted an entire article in November 1906 to his work.</p><br>
<p>The Brooklyn Savings and Loan building uses a diverse set of architectural styles. The structure is symmetrical and its elements tend to be regular and repetitive, which are elements of the Neoclassical style. There are deep segmental arches over the second-story windows are Late Victorian, however. The entablature seemingly supported by the piers as well as the brackets supporting the cornice are deliberately crude in order to give the building an individualized appearance. The structure is important to understanding the body of work Dyer created during his most prolific and creative period.</p><br>
<p>The Brooklyn Savings and Loan building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 19, 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Nelson House on Davis Street in Lake Providence, Louisiana was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>It is a Queen Anne-style house with a large and prominent turret, as is typical for large Queen Anne style houses elsewhere but which is somewhat rare in Louisiana, where so-called Queen Anne houses are often modest one- or two-story I-houses with some Queen Anne details. It has an L-shaped plan. It has two semi-octagonal bays in addition to the corner turret, and it has a Colonial Revival-style curving gallery.</p><br>
<p>A garage to the rear of the house was added in the 1940s.</p><br>
<p>It was listed along with several other Lake Providence properties and districts that were studied together in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Administration Building, on the south side of University Pl. and the campus green of Eastern New Mexico University, in Portales in Roosevelt County, New Mexico, was built in 1931. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>It is registered with the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties (SRCP).</p><br>
<p>It is a three-story Collegiate Gothic building with a steep slate roof and pointed pedimented gable ends. It was designed by Lubbock, Texas architect Orville R. Walker. It was built in 1931 and extended in 1936. It was built to serve as an administration building and still did at time of NRHP nomination. It was the first building built on the new Eastern New Mexico University campus; in fact it was completed two years before classes began on the campus. The 1936 work was completed using Works Project Administration funds.</p><br>
<p>Subsequent buildings on the campus were also done in Collegiate Gothic style.</p><br>
<p>Cheongsando is an island off the south coast of the Republic of Korea, being the main island of Cheongsan-myeon, Wando County, South Jeolla Province. Accompanied by the four inhabited islands of Daemodo, Somodo, Yeoseodo, and Jangdo and several uninhabited island, it is called Cheongsando  because it remains green through four seasons. It has long been called Seonsan or Seonwon in that the Taoist hermit dwells on the island because of the beautiful view which creates a harmony with the clear and blue archipelago.</p><br>
<h2>Transportation</h2><br>
<h3>Passenger ferry</h3><br>
<p>A ferry that carries vehicles operates five times a day between Wando Port in Wando County and Cheongsando Port, taking 50 minutes for each travel. In April and May with Cheongsando Slow Walking Festival is under way, 8 voyages are available on weekdays and 15 voyages are available on weekend.</p><br>
<h3>Village bus</h3><br>
<p>Every day, village bus runs five times from Cheongsando Port to Jinsan-ri and twice to Gwondeok-ri.</p><br>
<h2>Culture</h2><br>
<h3>Gudeuljangnon Paddy field</h3><br>
<p>The traditional agricultural system on Cheongsando. Cheongsando has long abounded in steep terrains and stones as well as sandy soil where water drains away so quickly. Short of water for paddy rice farming, the area has rather an unfavorable agricultural environment for watery field farming. Gudeuljangnon Paddy field is a paddy field artificially created by reorganizing natural environment to produce more rice in such unfavorable conditions.</p><br>
<p>Cheongsando Gudeuljangnon Paddy field in Wando County was designated Republic of Korea&#39;s Important Agricultural Heritage No. 1 on January 22, 2013 according to the strict criteria of value, partnership, and effectiveness of heritage in deference to Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) of Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).</p><br>
<h3>Beombawi(Tiger Rock)</h3><br>
<p>The legend has it that a tiger that lived on Cheongsando long ago was surprised at its own roar leveled at the rock and ran off the island. As compasses don&#39;t work near the rock due to strong magnetism, it is also called the Rock of Mystery.</p><br>
<p>From Beombawi, you get a full view of Cheongsando, and on a fine day, the view stretches as far as Yeoseodo, Geomundo, and Jejudo.</p><br>
<h3>Slow Walk</h3><br>
<p>Cheongsando Slow Walk used to be a trail for the mobility of the island residents. It was named so, in that walkers naturally get to slow down, touched by the scenic view. 2010 saw the opening of the total 11 courses (17-gil) stretching 42.195km.</p><br>
<p>Characteristically, the courses are designed to see that walkers can mix with the scenery along the trail, people who dwell nearby, and stories related to different courses. The beauty of the trail got its outside recognition as in 2011 when it was designated as World Slow Walk No. 1 by Cittaslow International.</p><br>
<h3>Film Shooting Location</h3><br>
<p>The island drew attention as a tourist attraction after it served as a shooting location for Seopyeonje by Im Kwon-taek. KBS drama Spring Waltz and SBS drama Scent of a Woman (TV series) also had their shooting here.</p><br>
<h3>Festival</h3><br>
<p>Cheongsando Slow Walking Festival proceeds for the whole of every April.</p><br>
<p>Vavul Mala is a peak in the Western Ghats in the Vellarimala range of Kerala, India. It is situated at the border of Malappuram district and Kozhikode district in Kerala. Situated at a height of 2,339m, it is the highest peak in the Western Ghats northwards beyond the Nilgiris and also the highest peak of Kozhikode district.</p><br>
<p>The first volume of William Logan&#39;s 1887 publication Malabar Manual (the work was later followed up by the Malabar Gazetteer of 1908) refers the 7,677-foot high Vavul Mala as a land-mark conspicuous far out to the Arabian sea.</p><br>
<p>Vellarimala range is situated in between border of Malappuram, Kozhikode and Wayanad. It is a high landscape known as "Camel Hump Mountains". It is separated from Nilgiri hills by Deccan plateau and Chaliyar river valley.</p><br>
<p>The Olive Township District No. 1 School, also known as the Olive Station School, is a one-room school located at 11611 Stanton Street in Olive Township, Michigan. It is now a private residence. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Olive Township was established in 1857. By 1861, the township had been divided into four school districts, but no school houses had yet been built. At some point over the next five years, a log schoolhouse was constructed for District No. 1, located approximately one mile east of the current location, at what is now the corner of Stanton Street and 108th Avenue. In 1866, work began on this frame schoolhouse to replace the log structure. Construction was completed in 1867.</p><br>
<p>In the early 1870s, a railroad line which soon became the Chicago and Michigan Lake Shore Railroad was built through the township, and stations were established at various points. In 1872, James Sawyer platted a village named Ottawa Station at this location. Although the village was never very substantial, in 1876 the school district purchased the present site of the school and moved the school to its current location.</p><br>
<p>In addition to school functions, the building served as a social center for the surrounding residents. The ladies&#39; aid, ice cream socials, and nearly all other community events were held at the school. In addition, non-denominational church services were held here until the early 1900s. In 1887, a belfry was added to the school, and in 1898, a new front porch. The school district continued to use the school until 1958, when the district was absorbed into the Zeeland public school system.</p><br>
<p>In 1960, the school was sold to a private individual, and in 1994 it was converted to a private residence.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Olive Township District No. 1 School is a one-story gable-roof one-room school covered with clapboard, measuring 36 feet by 26 feet. It has an open belfry and a turned-column front porch on the front. The front facade has a double-entry door but no windows. Each side contains five square-head double-hung six-over-six windows, of which three are original and two were added in 1935. A rear garage extension was added to the building in 1994/96 during renovation.</p><br>
<p>On the interior, the interior was a single classroom with a maple floor, vertical tongue-and-groove boarding on the walls up to window sill height, and plastered upper walls and ceiling. Small toilet areas were located in one corner. During renovation, much of the interior finishing was retained, including the blackboards and light fixtures. The toilet area was converted to a single bathroom, and a kitchen and bedroom added.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas and Anna Morrissey House was built as a private house, located at 190 West 9th Street in Holland, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Holland was first settled by Dutch immigrants who arrived in 1847, led by Rev. Albertus C. Van Raalte. Van Raalte platted the "West Addition," where this house is located, in 1867. Although the construction date of this house is not recorded, beginning in 1867, ship&#39;s carpenter Thomas Morrissey and his wife Anna paid taxes on this lot at a rate suggesting that this house existed at the time. However, they did not actually purchase the lot until 1870.</p><br>
<p>The Morriseys sold the house in 1870 to Hermanus Boone, and moved to Saugatuck, Michigan, where Thomas died the following year. Boone likely did not live in the house, but rather rented it out. In 1873 Boone sold the house to David and Hermina Dangremond Bertsch. Bertsch worked at the tannery owned by his brother John and Isaac Cappon, whose own house is nearby. The Bertsches lived in the house until 1880. The house was sold multiple times over the next ten years; later owners included fire insurance agent Hermanus Dangremond and his wife Emma, bookseller/stationer Leendert Kanters and his wife Minnie, Heinrich and Annie Eigner, and Nancy Charter. The Charter family owned the house from 1890 to 1952, renting it out to various tenants.</p><br>
<p>Stephen and Margearet Boneburg purchased the property in 1952, and lived until Margearet Boneburg died in 1996. The city of Holland purchased the house in 1996 with the intent of restoring it to be a historic house museum. The house is now open seasonally from mid-May through September, along with the nearby Isaac Cappon House.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Morrissey House is a one-and-one-half-story balloon frame side-gable hall and parlor house with a lean-to addition in the rear. The house has clapboarded walls, plain corner boards, and raking cornices without returns. The front facade has a center entrance flanked by square-head six-over-six windows with board frames. The original portion of the house measures 24 by 15 feet; the addition nearly doubles the house&#39;s depth. Most of the house is supported by brick piers, but a small section has a dirt-floored cellar underneath.</p><br>
<p>On the interior, the original section contains a main room and bedroom. An enclosed staircase access the upper floor. The addition contains a kitchen and pantry.</p><br>
<p>The Ashley Jewish Homesteaders Cemetery is an early 20th century burial site near Ashley, North Dakota. The Russian Jewish community that farmed the area beginning in 1905 arrived as refugees fleeing Russia&#39;s pogroms against the Jewish people. Within the next 20 years, the Jewish community moved to less harsh areas to carve out their livelihoods. Established in 1913, the cemetery remains as the only physical evidence that the Jewish homesteader community existed in the area. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places listings in 2015, and re-dedicated in 2017.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>Russian Jewish migrants who fled to America to escape pogroms in their home country, began staking homestead claims in McIntosh County, North Dakota in 1905, arriving two decades into the county&#39;s homesteading immigration flux. What they found was a stark landscape of rocky soil, and conditions that included living in sod houses. Nevertheless, for the next 20 years they persevered, seeing the fruits of their labors in agriculture, livestock and dairy farming. Eventually, they found the area too harsh and moved on to other areas.</p><br>
<h2>The cemetery</h2><br>
<p>The Ashley Jewish Homesteaders Cemetery is located approximately three miles north of the city limits of Ashley, North Dakota. Rabbi Kiva Bender&#39;s 1913 burial is believed to be the first in the cemetery. The last burial was in 1932, about the time the community itself was abandoned. The cemetery is the only remaining physical evidence that the community existed.</p><br>
<p>Spanning the period of 1913–1932, the site contains 22 monuments, each epitaph inscribed in the Hebrew language. Infants were buried in a separate area. According to the National Park Service, Ashley was the largest Jewish agricultural settlement ever in North Dakota, with the largest number of marked graves of Jewish homesteader families in either North or South Dakota.</p><br>
<h2>NRHP and other recognition</h2><br>
<p>The cemetery was added to the NRHP in North Dakota on November 17, 2015. North Dakota governor Doug Burgum declared May 21, 2017 "North Dakota Jewish</p><br>
<p>Homesteaders Day", to honor the re-dedication ceremony held by descendants of those buried in the cemetery.</p><br>
<p>The Oxford Commercial Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Oxford, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. This district reflects a typical central business district found in a Midwest town. It represents a transitional period from a frontier town to a settled community, and from the horse as the primary means of transportation to the automobile and mechanized farming. Most of the buildings in Oxfords business district were constructed between 1883 and 1917. Some replaced the wood frame structures from the towns frontier days, while others replaced those destroyed by a major fire that consumed the north side of the district in 1890. They are one to two stories in height, and their exteriors are composed of common brick. While simple in composition, many feature ornate decorative cornices. The Italianate and Romanesque Revival styles dominate.</p><br>
<p>Oxford began informally in the 1850s by workers who serviced the engines on the Mississippi and Missouri Railroad, which was replaced by the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific. The town itself was platted in 1868, and it experienced significant growth in the 1870s. Four additions were added to the town in that decade alone.</p><br>
<p>The Midway Service Station at 38797 USA Highway 70 in Kenna in Roosevelt County, New Mexico, was built in 1938. It has also been known as Old Kenna Store. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<p>It is a former Phillips 66 gas station, and it included a drugstore and soda fountain. In 2004 there were stock pens nearby, and the population of Kenna was 14.</p><br>
<p>The service station, built in 1938, consists of two buildings. The main one has a 33 ft girder-supported canopy over gas pump islands. It has a stepped brick parapet above the canopy. As of 2004, it hosted a store area and a leased post office; the latter space was formerly the Kenna Bank & Trust Company and still includes a bank vault with a Mosler Safe Co. safe.</p><br>
<p>The second structure is a car repair garage with two wood and glass roll up doors, which is set back on the property.</p><br>
<p>The Brown Street Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994, and its boundaries were increased in 2004. Brown and East Ronalds Streets are both part of the citys original plat when it was laid out as the capitol of the Iowa Territory. They are located on the north edge of the plat. Its significance is derived from the settlement patterns here, the development of a major transportation corridor, the neighborhoods affiliation with the University of Iowa and its growth around the turn of the 20th century, and the architectural styles and forms that are found here from the 1850s to the 1920s. Many of the city&#39;s Bohemian-immigrant population lived here. Businessmen and blue-collar workers lived side-by-side to each other, as did professors from the University of Iowa. The old Military Road was routed on Brown Street, and after it was paved with bricks in 1907, it became the preferred route for funeral processions to Oakland Cemetery.</p><br>
<p>Most of the popular architectural styles from late 19th and into the 20th century are found here. The most popular house form is the American Four-Square. Other popular styles include Queen Anne, Italianate, and the Greek Revival. The houses are both one and two stories in height, and wood-frame construction is prominent with rubble stone foundations. Some exteriors are clad in brick. Four houses have been individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places: Charles Berryhill House (c. 1850-1865), Vogt House (1890), Bohumil Shimek House (c. 1890), and the Arthur Hillyer Ford House (1909).</p><br>
<p>The Lake Providence Residential Street Historic District is a 13 acre historic district in Lake Providence in East Carroll Parish, Louisiana which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The listing included 14 "large and pretentious" residences, 11 regarded as contributing buildings and three regarded as instrusions, in a continuous group all on Lake Street, facing across to the shoreline of Lake Providence, except a few on Davis Street, perpendicular.</p><br>
<p>The contributing ones are:</p><br>
<p>Delony House (c.1840), one of only two pedimented Greek Revival houses in East Carroll Parish. It is a five bay central hall plan house which reportedly was moved to its current location in the 1870s.</p><br>
<p>Hamley House (c.1840), the other pedimented Greek Revival house. It has a "handsome pedimented portico with its open work columns dates from the 1870&#39;s."</p><br>
<p>Bass House (c.1875), a two-story brick central hall plan house which "is probably the only extant fully developed example of the Italian villa style in the region."</p><br>
<p>Holt House (c.1880), a late Greek Revival-style one-story central hall plan house</p><br>
<p>Voelker House (c.1905), believed to be the largest Queen Anne-style houses in the area, with three semi-octagonal bays, a "completely circumscribed porch" and a port cochere.</p><br>
<p>King House (c.1905), with a rare double turret design and a double curving porch</p><br>
<p>Parra House (c.1905), a boxlike Queen Anne Revival residence somewhat distinguished by its Eastlake-style porch, "more or less typical of middle class residences found in eastern cities at the turn of the century, but untypical of rural northeastern Louisiana."</p><br>
<p>Brandenburg House (c.1905), another boxlike Queen Anne Revival residence with an Eastlake-style porch</p><br>
<p>Walsworth House (c. 1925), one of two largest bungalow-style houses in the parish. At the time of NRHP nomination, its porch had "recently been sensitively enclosed with darkened glass."</p><br>
<p>Minsky House (c.1925), the other large bungalow</p><br>
<p>Grace Episcopal Church (c.1926), a "vaguely Romanesque" two-story church with roundhead windows and a side tower</p><br>
<p>The district was listed along with several other Lake Providence properties and districts that were studied together in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The College Green Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. This neighborhood in the central part of the city surrounds a square-block park called College Green, from which it derives its name. The park, which is the contributing site, is found on the earliest maps of Iowa City. While the earliest houses in the district were built in the 1860s, most were constructed between 1890 and 1920. No one architectural style dominates here, but the district contains a variety of styles that were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This is one of three areas in the city where the fraternities and sororities associated with the University of Iowa are located. The Thomas C. Carson House , which now houses a sorority, is individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Pyburn House, at 203 Fourth Street in Lovington, New Mexico, is an unusual building which was built during 1935-1937. It has also been known as Pyburn Apartments and as the Cornerstone Inn. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<p>It was a work of John Wesley Pyburn in Folk architecture. Pyburn was superintendent of the schools in Lovington during 1930 to 1938, a period when population and the schools were growing rapidly. He was a mason and built the house during the summers of 1935, 1936, and 1937, intending for it to be home for his family plus also to serve as boarding house for teachers. Ethel Pyburn, his wife, managed the apartments serving boarders until her death in 1986 at the age of 96.</p><br>
<p>The Isaac Cappon House was constructed as a private house, located at 228 West 9th Street in Holland, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. It is now operated as the Cappon House Museum.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Holland was first settled in 1847 by Dutch immigrants led by of the Rev. Albertus C. VanRaalte. Hundreds of additional Dutch immigrants settled in Holland in the following few years. Isaac Cappon arrived in New York City in 1847, then came to Holland in 1848. He worked in a tannery until 1856, when he and fellow immigrant John Bertsch founded the Cappon and Bertsch Leather Company. The tannery grew in size, and the partners built a new building in 1863, and enlarged it a few years later.</p><br>
<p>As Cappons business grew, so did the settlement of Holland. In 1867, Holland was incorporated as a city, and Isaac Cappon was elected as the first mayor. He eventually served four one-year terms in office, being elected in 1867, and again in 1870, 1874, and 1879. However, in 1871, a disastrous forest fire swept through the city, destroying a substantial number of building, including Cappons house and the Cappon and Bertsch tannery. The firm rebuilt, constructing a new plant in 1872, adding a drying house the next year, and continuing to grow through the 1870s.</p><br>
<p>Cappon also rebuilt his own house, hiring builder John R. Kleyn of Holland to construct this house in 1872. The house was completed in 1874. The house remained in the Cappon family until 1978, when the last occupant, Miss Lavina Cappon, died. After this, ownership was transferred to the city of Holland, and the house began operating as a museum.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Isaac Cappon House is a two-story T-shaped Italianate structure with a hipped roof with a central cupola. The house is of balloon-framed construction and sits on a rubble foundation. The front facade has a projecting central section, with recessed sections to each side. The double-door main entrance is located in the corner in one recessed section, underneath a bracketed canopy, with a secondary entrance located in the opposite corner. A single story wing projects to the rear.</p><br>
<p>On the interior, the main entrance opens into a broad hall, flanked by the main staircase. Off the hall is a formal parlor, the original sitting room (now remodeled into a dining room), the original dining room (now remodeled into a kitchen), and a small bedroom. The original kitchen, located in the single story addition, is now a garage. The first floor contains substantial Victorian woodwork and detailing. Upstairs there are two large bedrooms, two smaller ones, and a large bathroom. A small staircase leads to the unfinished attic and then the cupola.</p><br>
<p>The Hudsonville Christian School Building is a school building located at 5692 School Avenue in Hudsonville, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>A small settlement developed at this location in the 1860s. Development was slow until construction of the Chicago and West Michigan Railroad in 1874 brought more settlers, primarily Dutch immigrants. By 1897, over 400 people lived in Hudsonville. Christian Reformed congregants who settled in Hudsonville initially worshipped in the surrounding communities, but in 1901 the Rev. G. G. Haan established the Hudsonville Christian Reformed mission. The congregation built a church in 1904.</p><br>
<p>In 1913, the congregation established the Hudsonville Society for Christian Instruction. Church members donated a site for the school and construction began in 1917. The original school contained two rooms, but initial enrollment was larger than expected, and a third classroom was conducted in the basement. In 1921 enrollment had increased so much that two additional classrooms were constructed. In 1943, two more classrooms were added. However, enrollment continued to grow, and in the late 1940s, it was decided that the site was too small to continue adding capacity. In 1948, the school purchased another site, and in 1950 constructed a new building.</p><br>
<p>The original building remained part of the Hudsonville Christian School; although fluctuating enrollment made the school attempt to sell the building in 1968, a spike in 1970 caused the building to again be utilized. In the 1970s and 1980s the building was renovated. It was closed at the end of the 2004/05 school year, although the Hudsonville Christian School continued operation in other buildings. The building was purchased by investors and renovated, and leased to a child care center.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Hudsonville Christian School Building is a one-story structure clad with white-painted clapboards and capped with a combination hip and gable roof. The building contains six classrooms, constructed in three phases of two classrooms each. The western end of the building, topped with a hipped roof, houses a vestibule with two classrooms. The vestibule projects from the front of the building. The middle section of the building contains two more classrooms, a corridor separating them from the original rooms, and a restroom. The eastern section contains two more classrooms, another corridor, and a second restroom. These two sections are covered with a single broad hipped roof with a gable section connecting to the western hipped roof.</p><br>
<p>The Gilbert-Linn Street Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. This section of the city was developed as the population increased in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The growth was due, in part, to the expansion of the</p><br>
<p>University of Iowa and its hospitals. There was also an expansion of the central business district at the same time. Both professionals and business owners built houses here. The district contains houses for the upper class and the middle class, side-by-side to each other. It was also the place where German and Bohemian immigrant families resided.</p><br>
<p>The architectural styles and vernacular house forms found here are representative of those built in the city from the 1860s through the 1930s. The Queen Anne and Greek Revival styles are particularly evident. Local architect Orville H. Carpenter designed at least eight houses in the district. The Emma J. Harvat and Mary E. Stach House (1918) was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Mathew Elmore Sewalt House, on E. Jefferson Avenue in Lovington, New Mexico, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. It was built in two phases in 1909 and 1916 and has also been known as the Sewalt House and as the Sewalt-Waits House.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-and-a-half-story adobe house with concrete stucco. It was started by Ham Bishop as an adobe pyramidal roof house. It was bought by "up-and-coming rancher" Mathew Sewalt in 1916, and he expanded it. It has Craftsman details including exposed rafter ends and a low shed-roof dormer.</p><br>
<p>Unfortunately Sewalt died young, in the 1918 influenza epidemic, but he had contributed "much to Lovingtons improvement, including organizing corporations that founded the towns first bank and financed its first modem hotel." The house is significant as one of the better examples of a town home in Lovington "and reflects the shortlived prosperity of the town and the rancher who owned it."</p><br>
<p>The Jefferson Street Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. This section of the city started to develop to its present form in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. During this period the neighborhood was transformed from residential to include churches and buildings associated with the University of Iowa and its hospitals. Both professionals and business owners lived here, along with working-class people. Graduate students, especially those associated with the medical professions, resided in apartment buildings here. Four architecturally significant churches, along with their attendant buildings, are located in the district.</p><br>
<p>The architectural styles of both residential and institutional forms found here are representative of those built in the city from the 1850s through the 1930s. The Gothic Revival, especially for the churches, and Greek Revival styles are particularly evident. Architects of regional and local importance with buildings in the district include Gurdon P. Randall, Proudfoot & Bird, and Orville H. Carpenter. The William Bostick House (1851), Park House Hotel (1852), St. Mary&#39;s Catholic Church (1869) and Rectory (1891), and the Congregational United Church of Christ (1869) are individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>İnicrliin Cave  is a show cave located in Muğla Province, southwestern Turkey.</p><br>
<p>İncirliin Cave is situated in Gökçeler Canyon in Milas district of Muğla Province, Turkey. It is the most significant one and the only show cave in a group of nearly 30 caves in the canyon area. It is on the northern hillside of Mount Manastır overlooking the canyon. The cave is 345 m long, however only about 155 m of it is open to tourism. It is a horizontal lying spring cave. Its forming was affected by a distinctive fault in a karst formation. The cave has a wide entrance. It is 3 - wide and has a clearance of 2 -. It features ponds, giant stalactites and stalagmites. There are many rooms separated from the main gallery by stalactites. The rooms are mostly connected with each other by 6 - high passages. The "Gösteri Salonu" (literally "Show Room") in the middle of the cave is elevated 7 m below the entrance level. The "Damlataş Galerisi" ("Dripstone Gallery") at the end of the show cave, which was formed on the fault, is situated 12 m higher than the entrance level.</p><br>
<p>In terms of hydrogeology, the cave is in a vadose zone. It remains totally dry but becomes wet by dripping water from the cave ceiling during the rainy period. Generally, the stalactites and stalagmites in the entrance, the "Yarasa Galerisi" ("Bat Gallery"), the "Havuzlu Salon" ("Pond&#39;s Room") and the "Gösteri Salonu" are partially fossilized, while the formation of the stalactites, stalagmites, columns and draperies in the "Damlataş Galerisi" ("Dripstone Gallery") are still continueing.</p><br>
<p>A great number of earthenware pieces, which are dated back to the prehistoric era and antiquity, were found in the ground at the entrance and inside the cave. By December 2016, archaeological excavations were started by the Muğla University in the section of the cave, which is not open to the pıblic, Human and animal bones, stone tools and terracotta pieces were discovered. These finds show that the cave was inhabited in the ancient times already 8,000 years ago in 6000 BC. İncirliin Cave was registered as a first-grade archaeological site and first-grade nature reserve on February 27, 2008. A walking path was established on a length of nearly 155 m in the cave. The cave was fitted in 2013 with lighting that does not harm geological formations. In April 2016, a 155 m-long part of the cave was opened to the public as a show cave.</p><br>
<p>The Greensburg Land Office, on Courthouse Square in Greensburg in St. Helena Parish, Louisiana, was built in the 1820s. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-room common bond brick structure with a small portico having two large Doric brick columns. Its interior is dominated by a large paneled Adams mantel.</p><br>
<p>It is one of the two or three oldest buildings in the "Florida Parishes" of Louisiana. It was deemedsignificant in the area of architecture as a good example of a small rural office building in the Greek Revival style. It is of a type commonly found in the Eastern states as well as in nearby Lawyer&#39;s Row in Clinton (NHL), but which is seldom in other parts of Louisiana. Although some towns had them, all but a few were sacrificed to downtown redevelopment in the later nineteenth century. The Greensburg Land Office is also significant because it housed the St. Helena District Land Office, which serviced the entire Florida Parishes. Although Congress had in 1812 organized a land district out of the Florida Parishes, no provision had been made for the surveying of the private claims and public lands in this area. On March 3, 1819, however, Congress officially named this region the St. Helena District and provided for its survey. It was here that Florida Parish residents applied for American patents to their lands. In fact, this can be seen as but one of the many steps involved in the Americanization of Louisiana. In 1843 the land office was removed from Greensburg to Baton Rouge.</p><br>
<p>In 1980 the build was in use as a Veterans&#39; Administration Office. It is located nearly adjacent to the entrance to the St. Helena Parish Courthouse.</p><br>
<p>The Hochlantsch is the highest mountain in the Graz Highlands, a subgroup of the Prealps East of the Mur according to the Alpine Club classification of the Eastern Alps. To the north the mountain drops steeply into the Lantschmauern. The Hochlantsch is a popular destination for those living in the Graz area due to its good views and easy access.</p><br>
<p>The easiest ascent takes about two hours and starts at the Teichalm. One can either start at the Teichwirt or a few metres on at where the Teichalm Lift. Another variant from Mixnitz runs through the watery Bärenschütz Gorge. From the pub of Zirbisegger (accessible from Breitenau by car) the Friends of Nature Klettersteig (Naturfreunde-Klettersteig) runs up the rocky northern flank to the top. Nearby are the inn of zum Steirischen Jokl and the little pilgrimage church of Schüsserlbrunn.</p><br>
<p>Lake Avram Iancu-Ocnița  is a natural salt lake in the town of Ocna Sibiului, Sibiu County, Transylvania, Romania. It is one of the many lakes of the Ocna Sibiului mine, a large salt mine which has one of the largest salt reserves in Romania. The lake is the result of the lakes Avram Iancu and Ocnița, which have merged into a single lake.</p><br>
<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>The old Avram Iancu Lake is named after Avram Iancu, a Transylvanian Romanian lawyer who played an important role in the local chapter of the Austrian Empire Revolutions of 1848–1849. The lake was also called Ocna Pustie (meaning the bare mine)</p><br>
<p>The name of the other lake, Ocnița, means small mine, after the Romanian word ocnă, meaning (salt) mine. It was named so because of the salt mine that created it, which was smaller than the mine of its neighbor lake, Avram Iancu.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Lake Avram Iancu (Ocna Pustie) was formed on the "Fodina Maior" ("Grosse Grube") saline, exploited in a bell system through two wells up to a depth of 160 m.</p><br>
<p>Lake Ocnița was formed on the basis of the "Fodina Minor" ("Kleine Grube"), exploited in a bell system up to a depth of 136 m, through two wells, and abandoned in 1817 due to water infiltration.</p><br>
<h2>Information</h2><br>
<p>Surface: 10143 m² (combined surface of the two old lakes)</p><br>
<p>Maximum depth: 160 m</p><br>
<p>Salinity: 170-260 g/l</p><br>

<p>The Oued Isser is a oued  of Algeria. It begins in Médéa Province, is the main river, with Oued Sébaou of the Medea, which runs through the Lower Kabylie of Djurdjura  Wilaya of Bouira, then flows into the Mediterranean near the coastal town of Djinet in Lower Kabylia, attached to the province of Boumerdes.</p><br>
<p>The Oued Isser derives its name from the Roman name Serbetes, but other documentary sources give the name Serbetes to the Oued Sébaou.</p><br>
<p>The hydronymy of the Oued Isser is very interesting from the point of view of the various linguistic appellations that designate it (Berber, Latin, Arabic and French).</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Oued Isser is the receptacle of the waters of the southern slope of the Khachna massif and the Blida Atlas.</p><br>
<p>In Draâ Tabel in the Beni Ostman, at 420 meters above sea level, it takes the name Oued Isser, which it keeps until its mouth in the Mediterranean Sea. Its sources sprout from a great number of points, almost all on the flanks of the immense plateau of the Beni Slimane, plateau between Médéa and Sour El Ghozlane.</p><br>
<p>The three main rivers that contribute to the formation of Oued Isser are:</p><br>
<p>The first, on the side of Medea: Wadi Malah, also formed by three other small rivers: Wad Ladrech, whose source is in the Ouled Trif, on the side of Medea</p><br>
<p>The Wadi El Hammam, which originates in the Ouled Malel, occupies the center</p><br>
<p>Oued Meleh, which originates in Si Mohamed Ghoglath</p><br>
<p>The second river is called Oued El Meleh or Oued Yaggou; Its main source is in Ouled Mouby, in Ain Nar. This river is placed between the preceding and the following</p><br>
<p>And the third Oued Zegkrouat; The main source near Sour El Ghozlane, in Bouid-Saël, in the Ouled Ferah.</p><br>
<p>All these rivers receive a certain number of streams, streams, which bear different names, sometimes that of a marabout, sometimes that of the territory; they often supply quite considerable quantities of water, Autumn and winter.</p><br>
<p>A reservoir dam was built in 1987 on the course of Oued Isser at the level of the commune of Béni Amrane. This dam of Beni Amrane has a storage capacity of 11.85 million m³. The Béni Amrane dam serves as a collection tank for the Keddara Bouzegza dam, with a storage capacity of 142.39 million m³.</p><br>
<p>Oued El Harrach crosses the Mitidja plain from Bougara and irrigates agricultural areas all around, thanks in particular to its tributaries and canals, Oued Djemâa, Oued Baba Ali, Oued El Terro and Wadi Semar which crosses an industrial zone Of the eastern suburbs of Algiers.</p><br>
<p>Its main tributary is the Oued El Kerma which increases the volume of the river thanks to the waters descended from the Algerian sahel.</p><br>
<p>The Oued El Harrach has an average flow of 4 to 5 m³ s-1 but this can rise to 3000 m³ s-1 in times of flood.</p><br>
<p>The river flows through 9 kilometers of Industrial Area, in Algiers, and so is now very polluted. Pollution in the river now threatens the bay of Algiers, since in 2005 a study conducted by the Japanese researcher Mitsuo Yoshida discovered lead, chlorine, zinc and chromium in large quantities discharged into the sea.</p><br>
