<p>The Longfellow 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 2002. As the University of Iowa expanded in the early 20th-century new sections were being added to the city. The Longfellow neighborhood, named after the local elementary school completed in 1919, was part of this expansion. The northern part of the neighborhood along East Court Street developed in the 19th century because the street connected the city center to the Muscatine road. The rest of the neighborhood was platted on farm land in 1908 and 1914. A trolley line was completed to the area in 1910, leading to the creation of suburban development.</p><br>
<p>Most of the houses in the neighborhood were completed between 1910 and 1940. They are small to medium-sized and reflect the styles that were popular at the time. Two architect designed buildings were works of two architects that are not well known: E.T. Davis for a house on Court Street, and G.L. Lockart for Longfellow School. The Oakes-Wood House (1858), one of the older houses in the neighborhood that was owned by artist Grant Wood, was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Holland Reformed Protestant Dutch Church, now known as the Pillar Church, is a religious structure located at 57 East 10th Street in Holland, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Holland was first settled by Dutch immigrants, led by Rev. Albertus Christiaan Van Raalte, in 1847. That summer, the immigrants built their first church, a log structure. By 1854, the growth of the settlement necessitated the construction of a new church, and work on this building began. Construction was supervised by Jacobus Schrader, a millwright.</p><br>
<p>Substantial renovations were made toe the church over the years. A pip organ was installed in 1890. An annex, originally constructed to house the church library and classrooms, was added in 1900. A heating system and partial basement were put in place later. In 1947, a full basement was installed, and the church interior was entirely remodeled. The annex and the basement were remodeled in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The congregation has remained in this church through the present day. Early schisms split the church, particularly in 1884, after Van Raalte&#39;s death, when the majority of congregants voted to change denominations. However, in 2012, Pillar Church voted to become a dual-affiliation congregation, thus restoring what was split in 1884.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Pillar Church is an elegant white clapboard Greek Revival structure with a low pitched roof. The front facade has temple front, with a portico containing six massive Doric columns topped by a classical entablature. A three-part tower, 60 feet in height, with an octagonal belfry, projects from the roof. A clapboard annex, constructed in 1900, projects from the rear of the building.</p><br>
<p>The current interior has a floor plan with a rectangular sanctuary with a center aisle, two side aisles and plain wooden pews. Additional seating is contained in a balcony above.</p><br>
<p>The Melrose 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 neighborhood first developed as a sparsely populated rural area, and between World War I and World War II developed into an automobile suburb. It grew along with the University of Iowa when it expanded to the west side of the Iowa River, and it borders the large University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics complex. Among the prominent people who lived here was Howard Jones who coached the Iowa football team from 1916 to 1923. Other prominent residents included professors and local professionals and politicians.</p><br>
<p>The houses in the neighborhood vary in size from large multi-story, ornamented structures to those that are more modest in scale. They also reflect the styles that were popular in the city at the time it was transformed from a largely rural area to a suburban area. The street patterns vary from curvilinear, to cul-de-sac, to grid patterns and a major town and country highway. The district also includes Brookland Park. The Billingsley-Hills House (1870) and the A.W. Pratt House (1885) were individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Holland Old City Hall and Fire Station is a former government building located at 108 East 8th Street in Holland, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Until the 1880s, the city of Holland rented space for their city council and fire department. In 1882, the city decided to construct a new city hall and fire station. They hired the Grand Rapids architectural firm of Robinson and Barnaby to design this building. The city chose contractor James Huntley to build the fire station, and work began in August 1883.</p><br>
<p>The building was substantially completed by the end of 1883, but some finishing was left in 1884. The building served as the city hall and fire station for the city until the 1910s, when a new city hall was constructed. Additions to the building were completed in 1941, and the building served as a fire station for the city until 1977, when a replacement was constructed. The building was soon thereafter sold to private investors, who renovated the structure.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The old Holland Old City Hall and Fire Station is a two-story brick structure with a low, flat-roofed addition. The facade is topped by a gabled parapet wall. A pointed, gable roof, Dutch Revival hose drying tower is placed on a front corner. The foundation is constructed of fieldstone. Window sills of the station are defined by a stone beltcourse.</p><br>
<p>The South Summit Street 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 1973. The west side of the 300 block formed part of Iowa City&#39;s original boundary. A 6 ft limestone obelisk at 331 South Summit marks the original southeast corner of the city. Although nothing is left of it, Camp Pope, a training camp for the Union Army during the American Civil War, was located in this area in 1862. Three Iowa Infantry regiments, the 22nd, 28th and 40th, trained here. The street itself was created in the 1850s and the 1860s, and it was incorporated into the city in 1881. The neighborhood is a park-like setting with mature trees and large homes that sit back from the street. A large variety of architectural styles are represented in the neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>The Federal Hill Historic District encompasses a predominantly residential area of Bristol, Connecticut, known for its high-quality 19th and early 20th-century residential architecture. Centered around the Federal Hill Green, it developed as a fashionable residential area, and features a large number of fine Italianate and Victorian houses. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The city of Bristol was settled in the 1720s as part of Farmington, from which it was formally separated in 1785. A separate parish had been established in 1744 at the top of Federal Hill, a prominent rise northeast of the present downtown. What is now the Federal Hill Green was part of the original town green, and is where Bristols first church and school were located. Changes in transportation routes in the 19th century reduced this centers economic importance, and most civic functions were eventually established elsewhere. It remained a focus of religious activities (there are four churches in the district), and became a fashionable location for wealthy businesspeople to build homes. This began in the 1840s, and reached its height in the last four decades of the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is roughly bounded on the west by a railroad right-of-way which skirts around the base of the hill, and on the south by High Street. To the east and north it is bounded by areas filled with construction after the 1920s. There are more than 250 primary buildings (houses, churches, schools, and a few commercial buildings) in the district, and a number of period outbuildings, mainly garages and barns or carriage houses. The architectural styles seen the most are the Italianate of the 1850s-1870s, and the Queen Anne Victorian. Probably the most opulent house in the district is the Beleden House, a Beaux Arts mansion built in 1908-10 for a local merchant and banker, which is individually listed on the National Register for its architecture.</p><br>
<p>Franklin Printing House, also known as the Koza Building, is a historic building located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. It was built in 1856 expressly for the purposes of housing the Iowa Capitol Reporter, a local newspaper named for when this was Iowas capital city. The newspapers offices were located on the main floor, the composition room was on the second floor, and printing press was in the basement. The Iowa Capitol Reporter was sold by the 1860s and the Iowa City Republican took over the building. They moved out in the mid-1870s, and the building housed a series of saloons into the 1890s. After it was occupied by a variety of businesses, the building housed John V. Koza&#39;s meat shop for about 40 years. The three-story brick building is considered an excellent example of pre-Civil War commercial architecture in Iowa City. The metal cornice across the top of the main facade dates from sometime prior to 1904. The present storefront dates to a 1984 renovation, at which time the two cast iron columns were discovered. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The William Harvey House is a historic house at 1173 Windor Avenue in Windsor, Connecticut. Built in 1868, it is a good local example of Italianate architecture, executed in brick. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The William Harvey House stands in southern Windsor, at the northwest corner of Windsor Avenue (Connecticut Route 189) and Hillcrest Road. Windsor Avenue is at this point the major north-south thoroughfare on the west side of the Connecticut River. The house is two stories in height, with a flat roof and brick walls. The eaves of the roof are elongated, projecting a significant distance beyond the walls. The front facade is three bays wide, with the main entrance in the rightmost bay. It is sheltered by flat-roof portico, and has sidelight and transom windows, with flanking pilasters. The ground floor windows are elongated, and the second-floor windows are of a more typical sash size, with sills and lintels of brownstone. On the side elevations there are small windows in the attic level. A two-story brick ell extends to the rear of the main block.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1868 for William Harvey, a local tobacco merchant, and was in the family until at least the mid-20th century. The house is one a modest number of surviving Italianate homes in the town.</p><br>
<p>The Holland Downtown Historic District is a commercial historic district located along Eighth Street from just east of College Avenue to River Avenue, and along and River Avenue from Ninth Street to just north of Eighth Street in Holland, Michigan. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The section along Eighth Street has been the center of Holland&#39;s commercial shopping district since the founding of the city in 1847. However, a disastrous forest fire in 1871 destroyed much of the town, including the entire commercial district in the center of the city. Reconstruction was hindered by the economic Panic of 1873, but much of the downtown had been rebuilt by 1875. However, this first wave of rebuilding was primarily composed of two-story false-front frame structures, none of which remain within the district. The first brick buildings constructed were probably the two-storefront wide VanDerVeen Hardware Building at 36 West Eighth and the original section of the City Hotel, on the site of the Hotel Warm Friend.</p><br>
<p>Holland&#39;s population grew immensely in the later part of the 19th century, increasing from 2400 in 1871 to 7790 by 1900. Railroads and shipping infrastructure was built, and the industrial base of the city grew, and the commercial area followed suit. Beginning in the 1880s and continuing through the 1920s, a building boom resulted in the former wooden buildings in downtown being replaced with brick structures.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Holland Downtown Historic District contains 59 contributing and 24 non-contributing structures. Most of the buildings are two- and three-story commercial structures, built in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and having brick, stone, or terra cotta facades. The buildings stand directly on the line of the sidewalk. The largest buildings stand in the center of the district at the corner of Eight Street and Central: the former Steketee&#39;s store at 4 East Eighth and the six-story, former Hotel Warm Friend at 5 East Eighth.</p><br>
<p>The oldest buildings in the district are Italianate in design, with the buildings at 24 East and 36 West Eight Street being the only examples. Other buildings span Late Victorian architectural styles, and include Renaissance Revival and Richardsonian Romanesque structures. Some of the significant structures in the district include:</p><br>
<p>Holland City State Bank (190 River Avenue, at Eighth): This massive three-story Richardsonian Romanesque bank is constructed of rock-face blocks of Waverly stone, and has a distinctive pyramid-roof corner tower that provides a landmark for the downtown.</p><br>
<p>Knickerbocker (Holland) Theater Building (86 East Eighth): This 20th century commercial building has a high, stepped-pediment facade with a classical cornice and a pediment.</p><br>
<p>First National (now First of America) Bank (1 West Eighth): This is the only Classical Revival building in the district. It is clad with limestone, and has an Ionic portico in antis.</p><br>
<p>Steketee&#39;s Department Store (44 East Eighth): This six-story building has a facade that is nearly all window, with terra cotta bands marking the divisions between floors. The roofline undulates, with raised areas containing colored Art Deco terra-cotta ornamentation.</p><br>
<p>Hotel Warm Friend (5 East Eighth): The largest building in the district is a six-story structure made from red brick with limestone trim. The building is nine bays wide, and has a Dutch gable in the center of its facade. Completed in 1925, the building occupies the site of earlier hotels - the City Hotel and the Hotel Holland - which date back to 1871</p><br>
<p>The William Lee and Eudora Courtney Bazoon Farmstead, in the vicinity of Darlington in St. Helena Parish, Louisiana, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016. It is notable as a small complex of three log structures.</p><br>
<p>According to its NRHP nomination, "The Bazoon house and its accompanying log barn are unusually intact examples of the state&#39;s log construction and together with a pole well shed compose a rare, complete farmstead of the Upland South tradition in Louisiana."</p><br>
<p>The main part of the house is a 16 x single pen of round, peeled logs of about 4-6 inches in diameter, with saddle notching at corners. It has porches that have been enclosed by board-and-batten walls. A separate 10.67 x log pen for a kitchen is connected by a porch.</p><br>
<p>A pole shed provides a shelter for a hand pump well. A barn about 100 ft from the house is the third contributing resource; it has a single log pen about 15.5 x in plan.</p><br>
<p>Llangattock Court, Penpergwm, Monmouthshire, Wales, is a country house of late-medieval origins. Cadw gives a date for original building of 1490-1520. In the 17th century, the house was substantially reconstructed for Wroths. Further rebuilding took place in the early 20th century. In the later 20th century, the building fell into ruin, before a substantial reconstruction in 1985-2000. It is a Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The origin of the house is late-medieval, possibly 1490-1520. This building would have formed a traditional hall-house, with a cross passage and a solar. In the early 1600s, the building was reconstructed for the Wroth family. Further rebuilding too place in the early 20th century, with a building date of 1913 inscribed above the front door. Following dereliction in the later 20th century, a further reconstruction took place between 1985-2000. In 2013, the Court was for sale with a guide price of £850,000.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and description</h2><br>
<p>The architectural historian John Newman describes the Court as "wholly unplanned". His Gwent/Monmouthshire volume in the Buildings of Wales series calls the Court, Llangattock House". The building is of stone, in an L-shaped plan. Sir Cyril Fox and Lord Raglan, in their multi-volume history, Monmouthshire Houses, record a "monumental fireplace". Cadw describes this feature as, "a very large and fine c1600 moulded stone fireplace". The Court is a Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<p>Chalbury Hillfort is an Iron Age hillfort about 1 mi south-east of the village of Bincombe in Dorset, England.</p><br>
<p>It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.</p><br>
<h2>Location and description</h2><br>
<p>The site is in a strategic position, 380 ft above sea level; Weymouth Bay is about 1.5 mi to the south. There is a single rampart in roughly a D-shape and an external ditch, enclosing about 3.4 hectare. The rampart is about 0.3 – above the interior for most of its length, and about 6.5 m above the external ditch. There is a gap entrance in the south-east.</p><br>
<p>There are medieval strip lynchets surrounding the fort, and running into the rampart on the north side.</p><br>
<p>There are many circular depressions within the enclosure, and at least 20 are probably contemporary storage pits. Around the perimeter are at least 30 platforms, which are thought to be huts. Also within the enclosure are two Bronze Age bowl barrows, 18.5 – in diameter and about 1.7 m high.</p><br>
<p>There is an interior quarry ditch behind the rampart north of the entrance, from which material was used to construct the fort.</p><br>
<p>The site was excavated by Miss M Whitley in 1939. The rampart was found to have limestone revetments. Apart from a few finds of the late Bronze Age and the Romano-British period, most of the finds showed two phases of occupation in the Early Iron Age.</p><br>
<p>Hathaways Store is a historic formerly commercial building at 32 East Street in Windsor, Connecticut. Built about 1850, it is a good local example of vernacular Italianate architecture in brick, and a reminder of the formerly industrial heritage of its immediate surroundings. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Hathaways Store building stands northwest of downtown Windsor, on the east side of East Street near its crossing of Mill Brook. It is a 2-1/2 story structure, built of painted brick and covered by a gabled roof. It is set close the street on a steeply sloping lot, present two stories to the front and a single-story wood-frame addition to the rear. The front has one entry at the center of the three-bay facade on the ground floor, and a second above that on the second floor, accessed by a two-bay shed-roof porch, whose stairs extend to the right side. The porch has turned posts and balusters, with brackets at the roof. The main roof eaves are trimmed with simple Italianate bracketing. The upper entrance is flanked by sash windows with simple trim, and there is another window in the gable end above.</p><br>
<p>The store was built about 1850, when the East Street area was populated with a number of mills and other industries. One small mill stood just to the west, and there was also a blacksmith&#39;s shop across the street. The first proprietor was Duane Hathaway, a farmer who lived further down East Street.</p><br>
<p>111 Maple Street is a historic house in Windsor, Connecticut. Built about 1871, it is a good local example of Italianate architecture, with lingering Greek Revival touches. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>111 Maple Street stands on the south side of the street, a residential street extending west from downtown Windsor, between Welch Avenue and Preston Street. It is now surrounded by more recent construction. It is a two story L-shaped brick structure, with a flat roof whose eaves extend well beyond the walls. Its front facade is two bays wide, with sash windows set in rectangular openings with sandstone sills and lintels. The main entrance is on the left side, sheltered by a single-story two-bay porch set in the crook of the L. The porch is supported by Ionic columns, and has a Greek Revival entablature. The left side of the L has a single-story projecting polygonal bay window, topped by a shallow-pitch roof with cornice. A brick two-story ell extends the building further to the rear, with a second entry porch on its west side.</p><br>
<p>The house was built on land purchased by John Bruce in October 1871. Bruce was a local builder, whose other brick buildings include 30 Maple Street.</p><br>
<p>The Grand Haven Historic District is a mixed commercial and residential historic district located along Washington Avenue and adjacent Streets from Harbor Drive through the 600 block, in Grand Haven, Michigan. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>A fur trading depot was established at what is now Grand Haven in 1825; actual settlement was initiated in 1835 when Rev. William M. Ferry arrived and a sawmill was established at the site. One building in the district, the Sidney Williams House at 225 Franklin, likely dates from this first era of settlement in the late 1830s. As the lumber trade heated up, the settlement increased in size, and by 1851 was large enough to support a newspaper. The commercial center of the city quickly developed along Washington Avenue, starting from the harbor and working outward. Fires in 1853 and again in 1866 destroyed much of the downtown, and in 1877 the city passed a fire limit ordinance prohibiting buildings of wood construction in the heart of the downtown. A handful of private houses, built along the fringes of the downtown, date from the late 1850s and 1860s. The earliest extant commercial building in the district is the building at 135 Washington, constructed about 1868.</p><br>
<p>By the 1880s, the lumber boom was nearly over, but fruit growing and commercial shipping took its place. More buildings were constructed in the downtown area, primarily in brick. As the end of the century neared, the building boom tapered off, in part due to the loss of local lumbering jobs, and in part due to the depressed national economy. In the early 20th century, the city&#39;s efforts at economic diversification paid off, with more manufacturing jobs coming into the city, and, with the establishment of a car ferry port, an increase in shipping and shipping-related trade. As a result, more buildings were constructed in the district in the first decade of the 20th century than in any other ten-year period.</p><br>
<p>The citys population, and the number of buildings in the district, continued to grow through the 1920s and 1930s. The rise of the automobile, and the associated tourism, also helped boost the citys economy. The Great Depression affected Grand Haven less than most cities in the nation, but still the pace of growth in the historic district slowed. Grans Haven continued its growth after World War II. A number of structures built in this period were infill, replacing older buildings which had been demolished. In more modern times, Grand Haven has established itself as a vacation destination, and its downtown adds to the attraction of the city. The construction of infill buildings has continued, although recent structures have tended to be larger in scale, and not blending in with the earlier buildings.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Grand Haven Historic District extends along six blocks of Washington Street, the city&#39;s primary business district. The district extends along adjacent streets to include the city hall, former police and fire department building, church buildings, and multiple substantial buildings constructed as residences, although many of these have been converted to commercial use. It also includes the large Story & Clark Piano Company complex, as well as early frame commercial buildings along Third Street.</p><br>
<p>The district contains a total of 121 buildings, mostly two stories in height. The buildings date from c. 1840 to about 1965, but most were constructed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The city&#39;s Central Park is also within the district. Eighty-five of these properties, including the park, contribute to the historic nature of the district. The district contains substantially Late Victorian commercial blocks, but also a Period Revival movie theater, a Neoclassical former bank building, Italianate, Queen Anne houses, and International style and Mid-Century Modern structures. Significant architect-designed buildings within the district include:</p><br>
<p>Nathaniel Robbins House (1899) This house at 20 South 5th Street was built by Baltus Pellegrom, a ship&#39;s carpenter, for Nathaniel and Esther Robbins. Robbins was a successful area businessman.</p><br>
<p>Willard C. Shelden House (1893) This imposing house at 321 Washington is the finest Queen Anne house in the city. It was designed by architect William G. Robinson of Grand Rapids for Willard C. Shelden, the proprietor of Sheldon&#39;s Magnetic Mineral Springs spa.</p><br>
<p>First Reformed Church (1913) This church at 301 Washington was designed by architect Pierre Lindbout. Its has an eclectic style, combining elements of Neoclassic architecture in a non-traditional way, resulting in an overall effect that reflects an Arts and Crafts influence.</p><br>
<p>Grand Theater lobby (1927) This theatre at 22 Washington was designed by Christian W. Brandt and Harold D. Ilgenfritz. Although the main section of the theatre itself was razed in 2004, the street facade and lobby were retained.</p><br>
<p>Michigan Bell Telephone Building (1928) This building at 501 Washington was designed by Smith, Hinchman & Grylls. It is a three-story Colonial building constructed of concrete block and clad with brick. The roof is flat, and the three bays at street level have broad gauged brick arches with masonry keystones.</p><br>
<p>City Hall (1934) This building at 519 Washington was designed by Robinson and Campau. It is a two-story Colonial building with a cross-gable roof. The main facade is symmetrical and seven bays wide, and contains a projecting front-gabled entry bay with a limestone portico.</p><br>
<p>Police and Fire Department Building (1935) This building at 18-20 North Fifth was also designed by Robinson and Campau. The original portion of the building is a 1-1/2-story rectangular plan gable-roof brick Colonial Revival building with a slate roof. A flat-roofed addition was constructed in 1975.</p><br>
<p>First Presbyterian Church (1954) This church at 508 Franklin was designed by Harold H. Fisher & Associates. It is an orange buff-colored brick structure trimmed with limestone with a low gable roof.</p><br>
<p>The Petroleum Tower is a 16-story high-rise office building located at 415 Edwards Street at the corner of Texas Street and Edwards Street in Shreveport, Louisiana. It stands at a height of 187 feet, making it currently the seven-tallest building in Shreveport. It was completed in 1959, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was opened in 1959 and was a functioning office building until it was abandoned in the 1980s. It was subsequently unoccupied and was left in disrepair until it was donated to Shreveport-Bossier Community Renewal in 2001. In 2006, plans were made public to convert the building into the National Center for Community Renewal, a $62 million project which would have significantly altered the building&#39;s design. Then, in 2014, it was announced that it would be converted into 130 apartments, with the street floor being occupied by retail space.</p><br>
<p>Because of the period during which it was constructed, as well as its representation of a commodity that has been the lifeblood of the region for many decades, the building was given landmark status on the National Register of Historic Places on September 17, 2013.</p><br>
<h2>Design and construction</h2><br>
<p>The building has a length of 150 feet, and a width of 60 feet. From the 2nd Floor to the 14th Floor, the facade of the building is a curtain wall consisting of glass panels separated by narrow light gray aluminum panels. Floors 15 and 16 are windowless and function as mechanical floors, characterized by the aluminum vents near the top of the building. The north, south and west facades of the building have curtain walls, while the east facade is a windowless masonry wall.</p><br>
<p>The straight angles and boxy appearance of the buildings exterior is a common element of the international-style architecture that defines the Petroleum Tower. One of the most unique characteristics of the building that makes it stand out from the buildings around it is that it was built during the post-war era. Construction began in 1958 and was completed in 1959.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed by the now-liquidated Texas-based architecture firm Hedrick & Stanley, whose principals were Wyatt C. Hedrick and Thomas D. Stanley. It is one of only six listed projects built by this particular firm.</p><br>
<p>Dendinger House, in Madisonville, Louisiana, is a historic house built in 1911. It has also been known as Regent Square. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. It is significant as one of only two landmark buildings in Madisonville from the 1890-1920 era.</p><br>
<p>It is a central hall plan house which shows influence of both Colonial Revival and Queen Anne styles. Queen Anne elements include its two hexagonal bays, fishscale shingles in the front gable, and a wraparound gallery. Colonial Revival elements include two elliptical bays and the Tuscan columns of the gallery.</p><br>
<p>A second contributing building in the listing is an outbuilding that served as a laundry, garage, and servants&#39; quarters, which was built at the same time as the house.</p><br>
<p>The house was built for Theodore Dendinger, Sr., a businessman whose New Orleans-based businesses operated boats and schooners between New Orleans and Madisonville and included the Madison Lumber Company. In 1992 the house served as headquarters of an interior design company but was still in Dendinger family ownership.</p><br>
<p>The Clarkston Public Library, in Clarkston in Asotin County, Washington, was built in 1913 as a Carnegie library. Also known as the Asotin County Library, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>It is a square-plan two-story building of yellow-red brick. It was funded by a $10,000 grant from Andrew Carnegie, obligating the community to spend $1,000 per year in maintenance. As that level of spending was perceived to be onerous for the small city of Clarkston, it was negotiated that the taxing entity to be designated would be the school district, which presumably had a larger base. In 1981 the library served as a regional library for southeast Washington.</p><br>
<p>The building now serves as the Career & Technical Education Operations Building for the Clarkston School District.</p><br>
<p>Mundakkal Beach , is one of the popular beaches in the city of Kollam and a famous tourism spot in Kerala. The beach is situated at Mundakkal, an important neighbourhood and Cashew processing hub in Kollam. Mundakkal beach became world famous after the dredger ship, Hansitha, washed on the shore on 21 June 2016. Scrapping of the dredger ship started on 18 October 2017. The beach is also known as Mundakkal Papanasham Beach. Devotees believe that a dip in the waters of Mundakkal Papanasham Beach will wash off all the sins in one&#39;s life.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Mundakkal Beach is situated on the side of Kollam-Paravur Coastal Road. The beach is about 4 km away from Chinnakada and 11.2 km away from Paravur.</p><br>
<h2>Importance</h2><br>
<p>The beach is now one of the prime tourism spots in Kollam city due to the arrival of the dredger ship, Hansitha, to the shore. The ship was lying anchored 3 nautical miles off the Kollam coast since November 2013. Due to heavy waves, the unoccupied ship washed ashore on the Mundakkal beach in June 2016.</p><br>
<p>The beach is also an important location for annual ‘balitharpanam’ ritual. As per Hindu beliefs, the ritual performed on the new moon day in the Malayalam month of Karkidakom will appease the spirits of their forefathers and bring good fortune in the year ahead. Thousands of devotees, including women and children, offer ‘bali&#39; on the banks of Thirumullavaram Beach and Mundakkal Beach that day every year, along with the other famous beaches and river banks in Kerala.</p><br>
<p>130 Hayden Station Road is an unusual Colonial-era brick cottage in Windsor, Connecticut. Built in 1760 next to the Capt. Nathaniel Hayden House, it was probably built as a shoemaker&#39;s shop. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>130 Hayden Station Road is located in northern Windsor, close to the north side of Hayden Station Road, and is separated from Clapp Road South by the Capt. Nathaniel Hayden House, which stands adjacent. It is a 1-1/2 story gambrel-roofed brick structure, with a central chimney, and a shed-roof extension to the rear. The main facade is four bays wide, with the entrance in the center-right bay. Windows are rectangular sash, set in unadorned openings that butt against the eave.</p><br>
<p>The structure was probably built about 1760 by Nathaniel Hayden. Local historians have speculated that it served as a residence of the Hayden family prior to the construction of the larger house next door, but it is more likely that this was built as a shoemaking shop that the family is known to have run. It is an unusual surviving element of the town&#39;s colonial heritage.</p><br>
<p>The First Johnson County Asylum is a historic building located on the far west side of Iowa City, Iowa, United States. The first facility Johnson County built to care for paupers and the mentally ill was a four-room cabin in 1855. Two wings were added to the original building six years later. All that remains of this structure is this wing that housed the mentally ill. The single-story wood frame structure with a gable roof was used by the county for this purpose until 1886 when a new facility was completed. It was initially thought that it was built in 1859, but later research revealed that it was built in 1861 and that it was moved a short distance to this location in 1888. This building served for many years as a hog building on the Johnson County Poor Farm. It is now part of an education-based farm program called Grow:Johnson County. The building was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. In 2014 it was included as a contributing property in the Johnson County Poor Farm and Asylum Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Johnson County Poor Farm and Asylum 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 2014. It also includes the First Johnson County Asylum , which was individually listed on the National Register. The remaining buildings and structures are agricultural in nature, and were built from the late 19th-century to the early 20th-century.</p><br>
<p>The original facility to care for the poor and mentally ill was built in 1855 (no longer extent) and wings were added around 1861. The remaining wing of the first asylum building was moved to its present location in 1888 and used as a hog building after a new residential building had been completed two years prior. That later building is no longer extant and Chatham Oaks, a mental health facility, was built on that site in 1964. The second contributing site, apart from the location of the agricultural buildings, is where the cemetery for this facility is believed to be located. Archaeological studies of the area indicate that there may be hundreds of burials in that location.</p><br>
<p>The Bowery Street Grocery Store, also known as Helmers Grocery and as the New Pioneer Food Cooperative, is a historic building located on the far west side of Iowa City, Iowa, United States. The buildings construction is consistent with those built in the mid-19th century. The single-story wood frame structure with the false front was a popular commercial style building that was built in Iowa from that time period. Beginning about 1897 the city directory lists this location as a meat market and grocery store. It would continue to house that type of business, under a variety of owners or renters until 1975. In addition to a retail establishment, it also served as a meeting place for people in the neighborhood. The New Pioneer Food Cooperative was last grocery to occupy the space until is relocated to a larger facility. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Nanbu-Date Border Mounds are a series of earth mounds constructed in the early Edo period to mark the border between the feudal domains of Morioka Domain  and Sendai Domain  in Mutsu Province of northern Japan. Such boundary markers were common under the Tokugawa shogunate which ruled from 1602 to 1865; however, the number of markers and their excellent state of preservation led the grouping in the modern municipalities of Kitakami and Kanegasaki in Iwate Prefecture to be designated a National Historic Site. on January 31, 2000.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>In the year 1642, the Tokugawa shogunate re-confirmed the Nanbu clan and the Date clan in their holdings, and drew a 130 km boundary between the two feudal domains from Mount Komagatake in the Ōu Mountains in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east. The boundary was defined physically by having a series of large earth mounds erected as boundary markers. In 1688, an additional series of smaller mounds was built to further delineate the boundary. In the 11 kilometer stretch currently designated as a National Historic Site, 17 large mounds and 198 small mounds are preserved.</p><br>

<p>The Hawthorne Glove and Novelty Company-Shrader Drug Company Building is a historic building located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. Completed in 1906, this utilitarian three-story brick structure is located in the city&#39;s original railroad and industrial corridor south of the central business district. This was an industrial area from the 1870s to the 1940s. It replaced a recently built building on the same site by the Hawthorne Glove and Novelty Company that had been destroyed in a fire. The back of the building opened upon the rail sidings of a branch line of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern Railway, later the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific. By the start of World War I the Shrader Drug Company occupied the building. It was one of three drug related factories that were located along the South Gilbert Street corridor at that time. The company name changed to the Hewell-Shrader Drug Company in 1930 and then the Hewell-Shrader Company in 1945 after farm fertilizer was added to its product line. The company closed in 1956, and the building was sold to the Thompson Transfer and Storage Company who used it for a warehouse. Whipple House Furniture Store took over the building three years later, and remained until 1975. In the intervening years a variety of businesses occupied the building until the 1980s when it was vacant for a period of time. In the mid-1980s The Vine Tavern occupied the basement level and the upper floors were used for artist studios. In 2012 the upper floors were converted into apartments. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Old Settlers Association of Johnson County Cabins, also known as City Park Cabins, are historic buildings located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. These are two log structures built by the Old Settlers Association of Johnson County. The single-room log cabin was built in 1889 for Johnson Countys semicentennial. It had been located at two different county fairground sites until it was moved to City Park in 1918. The second cabin was built here by the association in 1913. It is a dogtrot house that is meant to be a replica of an early trading post in this area. These are typical log house forms from Iowas pioneer era whose existence are now rare. They also represent an effort by a social organization to commemorate the community&#39;s common pioneer heritage. A third element that is part of the historical designation is a bronze plaque affixed to a granite boulder. Located southwest of the cabins, it was installed in 1929 to mark a "Grand Army Tree" that was planted nearby. It is not known if the tree survives. The buildings and plaque were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Fullerton Post Office, better known as the Commonwealth Station, was built in 1939 by the Works Progress Administration, in Fullerton, Orange County, Southern California. Construction costs were $56,000 and took less than seven months to complete. The building was dedicated on November 1, 1938. It is a one-story, rectangular structure at the south east corner of the intersection of S. Pomona Ave. and E. Commonwealth Ave. Built on an raised platform, the post office has steps six steps at the public entrance. In the back, there is a loading dock for mail trucks. The building has been a post office since it first opened and has been serving the residents and businesses in the downtown area of Fullerton. It&#39;s proximity to the Fullerton Transportation Center makes it readily accessible.</p><br>
<p>The S. A. Pennington House, at 1003 Second St. in Elton in Jefferson Davis Parish, Louisiana, was built in 1911. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story wood frame house mainly Queen Anne in style, though with aspects of Colonial Revival and Stick/Eastlake. Queen Anne features include its two story polygonal turret, a band of stained glass windows on the turret just below the roofline, and projecting bays and rooms.</p><br>
<p>It was the home of Dr. S. A. Pennington, Elton&#39;s first resident physician, who got his M.D. degree from the University of Tennessee at Nashville in 1900, and who also studied at the New York Graduate School of Medicine.

<p>The Wilton Commercial Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Wilton, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016. Wilton got its start when the Mississippi and Missouri Railroad, later the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific, was surveyed through this area in 1853. It was named for Wilton, Maine, the hometown of one of the founders.</p><br>
<p>This historic district covers the town&#39;s central business district. The buildings were built between 1856 and 1966. Most are attached, two-stories tall, a single storefront wide, with exteriors composed of brick. There are a few wood frame buildings. The buildings on the edges of the district are generally detached. Architecturally, the buildings tend to favor the vernacular forms with influences from the Victorian and revival styles. For the most part, first floors are still occupied with retail establishments and second floors with professional offices or apartments. Civic buildings include the WPA-funded city hall (1939), and the mid-century modern post office (1960). The Wilton Candy Kitchen (1856), the oldest building in the district, and the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Depot (1898) are individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Sylvan Retreat, also known as the J. H. Pumphrey Home, is a historic raised former plantation house at 610 N. 3rd Street in Gibsland in Bienville Parish, Louisiana. It was built in 1848 by William George Walker in another location, and was moved into Giblsland in 1884. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>It was built as a five-bay Greek Revival raised plantation house, with wood frame built of virgin cypress joined by mortises and pinned with wooden pegs. It had a front gallery and a hip roof. All doors and window sashes were cut on site and assembled with wooden pegs. It included five 17 x rooms and a 12 x central hall, with 15 ft ceilings. It had front and rear galleries plus a separated kitchen.</p><br>
<p>It was altered in 1884 by moving it to Gibsland, by combining four exterior fireplaces, and by reducing the front gallery to a four-column portico.</p><br>
<p>The Wertatscha  is a mountain, in the Karavanks on the border between Austria and Slovenia.</p><br>
<p>In the old German Alpine dialect it was also called the Deutscher Berg ("German Mountain", Slovenian Nemška gora) or Zinnenwand. Other names are the Meniška gora (Mönchsberg) and Rtača.</p><br>
<h2>Location and surrounding area</h2><br>
<p>The Wertatscha lies on the main chain of the Karavanks, which marks the border here between Austria (municipality of Ferlach) and Slovenia (municipality of Žirovnica). To the north the mountain drops in steep, up to 600-metre-high, rock faces into the valley of Bodental above Windisch Bleiberg; the southern side is gentler. To the west the massif of the Wertascha is bounded by the Bleischitz Saddle; below which is the Klagenfurter Hut an important base for an ascent of the mountain. To the northeast the chain continues over the col of Pautzscharte to the Pautz (Slovenian: Zelenjak, 2,024 m) and the Selenitza. To the east the Wertascha drops down a rock face to the cirque of Suho ruševje. To the southeast lies the mountain hut of Dom na Zelenici, another important starting point, at on the Selenitza Saddle.</p><br>
<h2>Routes to the summit</h2><br>
<p>From the Bielschitza Saddle a discernible path leads to the top in about 2 hours passing across the schrofen covered southwest slopes. The rather longer climb from the Selenitza Saddle over the southern mountainside is partially waymarked. A ravine from the northwest from the Suho-ruševje cirque, climbing grade II, the southeast arête (also II) and the crumbly western arête from the Bielschitza Saddle (III) are much more difficult.</p><br>
<p>The north face of the Vertatscha has special significance for alpinism. In 1902 Eduard Pichl succeeded in making the first ascent of this face which has a climbing grade of IV. Today there are many other climbing routes, many at grades IV and V. Historically important was the first ascent of the northwest pinnacle by Kurt Maix in 1925. This was the first time that a grade V climb was achieved in the Karavanks. The east face offer several shorter climbing routes, which were opened in the late 20th century.</p><br>
<h2>Incidents</h2><br>
<p>On 21 September 2016 there were rockfalls in the Vertatscha cirque. The dust cloud reached as far as the Klagenfurter Hut and hiking trails were closed as a precaution.</p><br>
<p>Ħalfa Rock  is a deserted small islet and limestone rock on the south-east coast of the island of Gozo in the Maltese archipelago. The small islet is typified by a small maritime labiate garrigue environment, with germander and prasium shrubs, with the occurrence of the endemic Maltese Pyramidal Orchid as well as endemic coastal communities based on the Maltese Sea-Lavender and the sub-endemic Maltese Crosswort.</p><br>
<p>The rock has an area of approximately 0.48 hectare. The maximum length of the islet is 95 m, and the average width is about 50 m. The island is protected by law. Ħalfa Rock is located approximately 65 m from the south coast of the Qala municipality. It is part of a geological formation making up the island of Comino, and the upper areas of Qala. The rock is administratively a part of the Qala local council area.</p><br>
<p>The islet appears devoid of human heritage, with no record of habitation. However, a circular fougasse exists on the islet - forming part of the Tal-Qassis ridge defensive system overlooking the channel between Qala and Comino. Ħalfa Rock sits in a secluded shingle beach, with large pebbles and golden sand. A chain of submerged rocks, collectively known as Ġebel tal-Ħalfa lie within 400 m of this islet. The rock has acted as a marker in the annual Malta-Gozo-Malta Open Water Swimming Competition.</p><br>
<h2>Origin of name</h2><br>
<p>The origin of the name Tal-Ħalfa is a matter of conjecture. The word ħalfa means oath or vow in Maltese. A local legend links with the name of the islet with Dragut, a famous pirate warrior and Ottoman admiral, who swore to seek revenge for his brother’s death on the island of Gozo. According to this legend, Dragut’s brother was killed in Gozo while raiding the island in 1544. The famous pirate asked for his brother’s corpse for burial. The Gozitans refused to turn the body over, and burned it in front of Dragut’s eyes in a place now occupied by St. John’s demi-bastion. It is said that when the Turks boarded their galleys to leave Gozo, Dragut went up on a large rock nearby, now known as il-Ġebla tal-Ħalfa (the Vow Rock), where he vowed to come back and wreak his vengeance on the people of Gozo. In 1551, Dragut laid siege to Mdina, but upon remembering his vow, he brought the Mdina siege to an end and sailed off to attack Gozo, taking almost the whole population into slavery.</p><br>
<p>Another legend relates how following a raid on the Maltese islands, Dragut was sailing past the coast of Gozo when he saw a vineyard on this part of the coast. Yearning for some grapes, he asked if any of his sailors would volunteer and swim to the shore for grapes.</p><br>
<h2>Wildlife</h2><br>
<p>The islet supports two distinct vegetation communities. The lower region is dominated by the Shrubby Glasswort (Arthrocnemum macrostachyum), with the Olive-leaved Bindweed (Convolvulus oleifolius) being more dominating the central part of the islet. Other important species present in the area include the Maltese Sea-Lavender (Limonium melitensis) and the Sea Carrot (Daucus rupestris), which is sub-endemic to the Maltese Islands, as well as Lampedusa, Lampione and Panarea. The upper region of the islet is colonised extensively by Esparto grass (Lygeum spartum), the Olive-leaved Bindweed, the Pyramidal Orchid (Anacamptis urvilleana), the Maltese Leek (Allium melitense), the Carline Thistle (Carlina involucrata) and two stunted Lentisks (Pistacia lentiscus).</p><br>
<p>The fauna on this islet includes an isolated population of the endemic Wall Lizard (Podarcis filfolensis) and a morph of the endemic Door Snail (Muticaria macrostama forma oscitans). The faunal species are isolated from the mainland populations and thus have the potential of developing specific traits.</p><br>
<p>Studies of the seabed around Ħalfa Rock indicated the existence of a thick layer of submerged clay on the bedrock, which supports a facies with burrows of the thalassinid shrimp (Upogebia mediterranea). In many places, the biocoenosis of infralittoral algae is intermixed with the Posidonia oceanica meadows, and well sorted fine sands.</p><br>
<h2>Nature conservation</h2><br>
<p>Ħalfa Rock is on the Maltese Islands Natural Heritage List, and retains the status of an area of ecological importance and is also a special area of conservation. The Planning Authority scheduled Ħalfa Rock as a Level 1 Site of Scientific Importance (ecology), Level 2 Site of Scientific Importance (geomorphology), and a Level 2 Area of Ecological Importance as per Government Notice No. 827/02 in the Government Gazette dated 20 September 2002.</p><br>
<h2>Media and the arts</h2><br>
<p>The islet appears in a children&#39;s adventure book titled Il-Ġebla tal-Halfa by Pawlu Mizzi.</p><br>
<p>Greathed Manor, Dormansland, Surrey, is a Victorian country house. It was designed in 1862-8 by the architect Robert Kerr. It is a Grade II listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Greathed Manor, originally called Ford Manor, was designed by Robert Kerr for the Clay family. The actress Joyce Grenfell was a descendant and lived at the manor as a child. By 1960, when the house was renamed Greathed Manor, it was owned by the Country Houses Association. Following the collapse of the CHA, it became a private nursing home.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Kerr was an influential mid-Victorian architect who wrote The Gentlemans House - Or, How To Plan English Residences, From The Parsonage To The Palace, published in 1864. Kerrs influence was greater than his talent; the architectural critic Ian Nairn described Greathed as; "over-confident, making no concessions to the landscape or anything else, and without any (...) artistic sincerity". The architectural historian Mark Girouard was no more complimentary, describing the house as "appalling" and Kerr&#39;s most significant work, Bearwood House, as of a "design (.) as heavyweight as (its) technology".</p><br>
<p>The manor is of stone, and mainly of three storeys. Until renovations in 1912, the building had a large porte-cochère at the front, and a winter garden at the rear.</p><br>
<p>The Boathouse on Boathouse Pond, Belton House, Belton, Lincolnshire is a boathouse designed by Anthony Salvin in 1838-9. It is a Grade II listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>John Cust, 1st Earl Brownlow, owner of Belton House from 1807-1853 commissioned Salvin to undertake improvements to the Belton Estate in 1838. Salvins additions included a public house, a cross in Belton Village, cottages and houses for a gamekeeper and a blacksmith, a hermitage and the boathouse on Boathouse Pond. Most of the work was carried out in a Tudor style but the boathouse was built to resemble a Swiss Cottage. Salvin did not complete the works, being replaced by Custs Clerk of works. The boathouse fell into disrepair in the 20th century and was unrestored at the time Historic England&#39;s listed building entry was written. Its restoration in 2008, carried out under the auspices of the National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty, which now owns Belton House, made use of traditional materials and craftsmanship and has won a number of awards. The boathouse is a Grade II listed building.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The boathouse stands at the lower end of the pond. It is designed in the style of a Swiss Cottage. This style was popular in mid-Victorian England and another example of such a chalet can be seen at Osborne House on the Isle of Wight. The boathouse is timber-framed and plastered. The roof is of Collyweston slate tiles in a fish scale pattern.</p><br>
<p>The Fuller House, at 220 W. Union in Minden in Webster Parish, Louisiana, is a Queen Anne-style house which was built in about 1905. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. It has also been known as the Fuller-White House.</p><br>
<p>While Queen Anne houses of its era would often have Eastlake detailing, this house is unusual for having ornament which is almost all Colonial Revival in style. These elements include a Palladian window, the simple Tuscan columns on the house&#39;s wraparound gallery, and denticular molding under the eaves of the main block and on the turret and dormer.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed "locally significant as a superior example of the Queen Anne Revival style within the context of the several parish region of North Louisiana. It achieves this distinction because of its complex massing, culminating in a turret. The house is also important for its well-detailed and well-preserved interiors."</p><br>
<p>The Bank of Minden, at 605 Main St. in Minden in Webster Parish, Louisiana, was built in 1901. Also known as the Holland—Crawford Insurance Building, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The bank has a particularly rich facade. The bank&#39;s original street clock was restored and, in 1988, was functioning.</p><br>
<p>Its National Register nomination reports that a survey of historic buildings in Webster Parish identified 432 older than fifty years, of which only seventeen were masonry commercial buildings dating from c.1900 to c.1935. Of these, most are quite plain; only the Bank of Minden and the Bank of Webster (NRHP-listed) were determined to have "sufficient architectural distinction to merit individual listing in the National Register. The Bank of Minden, with its grand Romanesque Revival arched entrance and elaborate detailing, is in sharp contrast to the rest of the parish&#39;s fairly typical historic commercial buildings. In addition, it is the only one to feature such exceptionally fine materials as glazed brick, terra-cotta, and ornamentally cut sheets of plate glass."</p><br>
<p>The Trafford Mausoleum, Wroxham, Norfolk is a Victorian Gothic memorial to Sigismund Trafford Southwell, of Wroxham Hall. The mausoleum was designed by Anthony Salvin. It is a Grade II listed structure.</p><br>
<h2>History and architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Traffords of Wroxham Hall (now demolished) had held land in the area since the Middle Ages. An ancestor, Sigismund Trafford, had been member of parliament for King&#39;s Lynn in 1689. Sigismund Trafford Southwell, High Sheriff of Norfolk in 1818, died in 1827. His wife approached Anthony Salvin to design a mausoleum which was constructed c.1830. It was built in the churchyard of St Mary the Virgin, Wroxham. Salvin exhibited the design at the Royal Academy in 1830. The style is Early English Gothic, described in the Norfolk 1: Norwich and the North-East volume of Pevsner as a; "correct, rather cold later 13th century style". The mausoleum is a Grade II listed structure.</p><br>
<p>The Anglican Church of All Saints in Ashcott, Somerset, England was built in the 15th century. It is a Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The church was built in the 15th century on the site of an earlier church. The building was probably carried out between 1456 and 1492 and bears the arms of John Selwood the Abbot of Glastonbury Abbey at the time.</p><br>
<p>In 1831 the nave was widened as part of a Victorian restoration. It has since deteriorated with the floor being damaged by water. The vestry roof needs replacing and the tower and parapets need masonry repairs. Therefore the building has been placed on the Heritage at Risk Register.</p><br>
<p>The Polden Wheel parish and benefice is within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The church consists of a three-bay nave with a south porch. The two-bay chancel includes an organ loft. The two-stage west tower is supported by diagonal buttresses.</p><br>
<p>The south window has stained glass by Charles Eamer Kempe.</p><br>
<p>The Norman font has a circular bowl on a cylindrical stem.</p><br>
<p>The Anglican Church of St Michael and All Angels in Bawdrip, Somerset, England was built in the late 13th or early 14th century. It is a Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The church was built in the late 13th to early 14th century,</p><br>
<p>It underwent Victorian restoration in 1866.</p><br>
<p>The parish is part of the benefice of Woolavington with Cossington and Bawdrip which is part of the Diocese of Bath and Wells.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Blue Lias church consists of a two-bay nave, two-bay chancel, and north and south transepts. The crossing tower has gargoyles and a parapet. Within the tower are four bells. Two of these are believed to be from 1448 and the others from 1671 and 1745.</p><br>
<p>In the church is a 13th century effigy depicting Sir Simon de Bradney in his armour.</p><br>
<p>Highland Lake is a body of water located within the boundaries of Winchester, Connecticut. It has a surface area of 445 acres and an average depth of 24 feet. The lake is long but not wide, extending approximately three miles from north to south but only half a mile at its widest. It narrows at two points and therefore divides into three distinct sections, known  as First Bay, Second Bay, and Third Bay. Highland Lake achieves its maximum depth of 63 feet toward the center of Second Bay.</p><br>
<p>The lake is popular for recreational purposes, including boating and fishing. The Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection stocks the lake annually with fish, and considers it a Trophy Trout and Bass Management Lake.</p><br>
<p>Highland Lake is encircled by Wakefield Boulevard, which is a little over seven miles long, and its shores are heavily built up with residences (both seasonal and year-round) and dotted with many docks.</p><br>
<p>The IANR Railroad Underpass is a historic structure located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States. It carried railroad tracks for 24 ft over Ely Road. The railroad probably built this stone arch bridge, which was completed in 1887. This kind of structure became more popular in the late 19th century as a railroad bridge because it was more durable than metal truss bridges, and they "projected a refined and sophisticated image." It features a semi-circular arch, a beltcourse, coursed-ashlar masonry, stepped wing walls that are flared, a parapet with projecting coping, and an elongated keystone with the date "1887" carved on it. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. It now carries the Cedar River Recreation Trail over the street.</p><br>
<p>Ponta Bicuda are one of three northernmost points of the island of Santiago, Cape Verde located 3-4 km east of Ponta Moreia 2 km from the nearby village of Ponta Furna and northeast of Tarrafal. Its headland stretches to over 400 meters from north to south with a 15 degree angle east and 200 meters wide, its shoreline is about 1 km long.

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.</p><br>
<p>During the Ice Age, the point then unnamed was about a kilometer southeast and were a single point.</p><br>
<p>The island along with the point was first discovered by António da Noli in 1460 and. Before the northern part was settled around the 16th century, the area was predominantly full of shrubs. The area around the point was first settled around the mid to late 17th century.</p><br>
<p>In the 1747 French/Dutch map by Jacques Nicolas Bellin, the point was mentioned as "Ponta Bikkude" (Bicuda) and mapped it as its main point instead of Ponta Moreia, the more prominent in the north of the island and the northernmost point.</p><br>
<p>National Creek Falls is a waterfall from National Creek, that plunges into a grotto surrounded by a meadow of mosses on the west skirt of the Crater Lake National Park, north of Union Creek, Oregon.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>National Creek Falls lays adjacent to Diamond Lake Road off US Route 62. The road was once a wagon route used for travel from the Rogue Valley to the newly discovered gold mines in the John Day Valley. The drainage of National Creek was then a popular layover site for miners and stock-men travelers that passed at Lake West towards the John Day Valley. After a fire devastated the area in the early 1860s the route was reopened in 1910 by the Forest Service, now known as Diamond Lake Road.</p><br>
<h2>Trail</h2><br>
<p>National Creek Falls is located on pumice flanks of Mount Mazama with basalt outcropping that diverges the creek into a wide waterfall. The National Creek Falls trail starts off Crater Lake Highway and descends through a shaded, mixed conifer forest, ending at the base of National Creek Falls, totaling 0.75 mi.</p><br>
<p>The Abita Springs Historic District, in Abita Springs in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, is a 162 acre historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It included 180 contributing buildings.</p><br>

<p>The Parker County Courthouse is an historic building located at Courthouse Square in Weatherford, Texas, the seat of Parker County. Built in 1884–1886, it was the countys fourth courthouse; the first was a wooden building, and the second and third both burned down. Architect Wesley Clark Dodson, who designed at least six courthouses in Texas, designed the Second Empire building. The three-story limestone building is visually divided into five bays; the end and central bays are projecting and feature stone pilasters at their corners. The second-story windows are tall and arched, and the roof line features bracketing around the eaves. The red shingled roof has two mansards atop the ends and a three-story tower in the center; each piece features dormers and a widows walk, while the tower has louvers and a clock on its upper stories.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on 1965.</p><br>
<p>The Frau Hitt is a peak in the Nordkette, the southernmost mountain chain of the Karwendel in Austria. In appearance it resembles a woman  on a horse, hence the name.</p><br>
<p>According to legend the peak is a petrified giant queen, called Frau Hitt, who was known for her avarice and self-infatuation. The legend has various versions. One widespread story is that Frau Hitt only offered a beggar woman a stone to eat. The beggar woman was so incensed by this mockery that she cursed the giantess and her horse, which were then turned into stone as an eternal punishment.</p><br>
<p>The prominent rock needle, high above Innsbruck, used to be a tourist symbol for the city. A plan to create a spectacular wrapping over Frau Hitt by artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude finally failed through lack of funds.</p><br>
<p>Frau Hitt was probably first climbed in 1580 by Johann Georg Ernstinger. It was conquered several times during the 19th century by unknown mountaineers. Frau Hitt is usually climbed via the west shoulder (at one place III, otherwise II). To reach this shoulder there is a route from the east (grade II) and a rather more difficult one (III+) from the west.</p><br>
<p>The Frau Hitt Saddle lies west of Frau Hitt, where a crossing from the Inn Valley to the Gleirschtal valley is possible (the protected ascent to the Frau Hitt Cirque (Frau Hitt-Kar) is north of and below Frau Hitt). Neighbouring crossings are: in the west the Erl Saddle near the Solsteinhaus, in the east the Hafelekar top station.</p><br>
<p>Frau Hitt Saddle is the crossing point of the following hiking trails and climbing routes:</p><br>
<p>SE descent on the Schmidhubersteig, then either to the Seegrube (, a station on the Nordkette Cable Car) or descent via the Höttinger Alm to Innsbruck</p><br>
<p>Hut tour from the Solsteinhaus via the Gipfelstürmerweg north of the western Nordkette to the Frau Hitt Saddle, from there continuing to the Seegrube and up to the Hafelekarspitze, from the Hafelekarspitze on the Goethe Way to the Pfeis Hut</p><br>
<p>NW descent through the Frau Hitt Cirque, Kleinkristental, Gleirschtal and the western Hinterau valley to Scharnitz</p><br>
<p>SW ascent to the Vordere Brandjochspitze</p><br>
<p>NE start or finish of the Innsbruck Klettersteig</p><br>
<p>Bastrop High School, at 715 S. Washington St. in Bastrop, Morehouse Parish, Louisiana in north Louisiana, was built in two stages in 1927 and 1930. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>It served as Bastrop&#39;s high school until partway through the 1955-56 school year, when students moved to a new school, and it became a junior high school until the late 1980s. It was used for other educational purposes for some more years, then was vacant, and was vacant in 2002.</p><br>
<p>It is a "sprawling" two-story brick building near the downtown of Bastrop. The building is two-stories tall, raised on a basement story. Its original 1927 portion faced west, with a gymnasium in the center of an E shape. It was nearly doubled in size in 1930, with design by the same architect in the same style, adding a C-shaped extension which enclosed the gymnasium in a rectangle of classrooms, offices and other spaces, leaving narrow light courts next to the gymnasium. It has two entrance pavilions on both the east and west sides, and one each on the north and south sides.</p><br>
<p>According to its NRHP nomination the building is "sparingly though convincingly articulated in the Jacobean style with red brick walls and detailing set off in contrasting white cast concrete. Each entrance pavilion has a great round vestibule arch with impost blocks resting on panels and quoins. Crowning the composition is an angular rooftop gable parapet with upward thrusting finials. Flanking the arched entrances are Baroque-style cartouches. Although these are not, in and of themselves, Jacobean features, they mark the place where figure sculpture would be in a real English Jacobean great house."</p><br>
<p>The Snyder Memorial Museum and Creative Arts Center, formerly the Snyder House, at 1610 E. Madison in Bastrop in Morehouse Parish in northern Louisiana, was built in 1929. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. The listing included two contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>It was built in 1929 as a one-story brown and beige brick residence for Charles and Esther Snyder, with a tiled roof. According to its NRHP nomination, "The house is difficult to pigeonhole stylistically because it represents the eclecticism which characterized early twentieth architecture. It borrows from the "English cottage" style in its massing, but certain features give it an Italian or Mediterranean flavor. Although the Snyder Houses many gables are not as steeply pitched as is typical of the "English cottage" style, its massing is perhaps best viewed within that traditions penchant for a picturesque look. There are no less than eight gabled projections: two on the facade, one of which is an entrance porch, three on the eastern side elevation, two on the western side elevation, and a small one on the rear. Add to this a prominent front chimney (a favorite of the "English cottage" style). This "busy" massing and complex footprint belies the house&#39;s conventional central hall plan."</p><br>
