<p>The Outlook Depot is a railway depot in Outlook in Sheridan County, Montana which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. It has also been known as Soo Line Depot. The listing included two contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed notable as "one of the best-preserved small-town railroad stations in Montana." It is a wood-framed building about 48 x in plan, which is two stories tall at its eastern end which holds passenger facilities and the railroad agent&#39;s quarters, and one story tall at the western, freight room end. It is a standard "second-class" depot built by the Minneapolis, St. Paul, & Sault Ste. Marie Railroad ("the Soo Line") in 1913. In 1993 it was operated by the Dakota, Missouri Valley & Western Railroad. The depot is located on the north side of the east-west railway which runs along the south side of the small town of Outlook (population 109 in 1990).</p><br>
<p>The station&#39;s privy, located to the west of the depot, is the second contributing building.</p><br>
<p>The McCone Residence in Glendive in Dawson County, Montana was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>It is a small one-story L-shaped house built during 1893 to 1903, probably by carpenter John A. Morton, and was expanded during 1903-1905 and again during 1905-1910. It was home in 1909 to George McCone (b.1854), a pioneer settler in this area. He had been mail carrier between (Oklahoma&#39;s?) Fort Reno and Fort Sill in 1877, was mail carrier between Bismarck, North Dakota and Fort Keogh in 1881, and was mail carrier between Glendive and Fort Buford and Wolf Point in 1882. He was on the first board of county commissioners for Dawson County, and he is the namesake of McCone County (created in 1919).</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register as a result of a study of multiple historic resources in Glendive which also listed several others.</p><br>
<p>Hilltop Farm is a historic country estate and gentlemans farm on Mapleton Avenue in northern Suffield, Connecticut. It was established in 1913 by George M. Hendee, one of the founders of the Indian Motorcycle Manufacturing Company, one of the nations first motorcycle makers. Although its manor house was demolished in 1961, the estate retains many buildings built for Hendee, as well as a cluster of older farm buildings that he retained. The farm was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Hilltop Farm complex occupies over 230 acre of land in the northeast corner of Suffield, most of which lies between Mapleton Avenue (Connecticut Route 159) and the Connecticut River. The southern portions of the property include three clusters of farm buildings, each with a house. The main cluster, roughly east of Hickory Street, includes a large dairy barn and chicken house, as well as a tobacco barn and numerous smaller buildings, with two small period residences, and a later house built on the site of the original manor house. To the south of this cluster lie two smaller groups, originally the farmsteads of the Stroh and Sikes families from whom George Hendee purchased the land. North of the main cluster is a mid-20th century institutional campus that (as of 2017) stands vacant.</p><br>
<p>George Hendee was a native of nearby Springfield, Massachusetts, who was initially engaged in the manufacture of bicycles. In 1898 he began producing motorcycles under the "Indian" nameplate, which met with great success and made him extremely wealthy. In 1913 he began purchasing farmland in northeastern Suffield, on which he established a gentleman&#39;s farm that was primarily focused on dairy operations. Hendee remained involved in this pursuit, withdrawing from Indian Motorcycle in 1915, until ill health prompted him to leave the estate in 1938 and sell it in 1940. It was then subdivided, portions of the estate repurposed, and his main house demolished in 1961. The estate retains many original features, including landscaping by Carl Rust Parker. The surviving farm-related portion of the estate is now owned by the town and maintained by a local nonprofit group.</p><br>
<p>The Nelson House, also known as the Reynolds House, is a historic house located in Latham, Alabama. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Its 1988 NRHP nomination asserted it is locally significant as the "purest example" of the Creole Cottage style of architecture in Baldwin County.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1912, the Nelson House is a one-story frame, four bay house resting on a brick wall foundation. There are two interior chimneys on its gabled roof, one on the front slope and one on the rear slope, each with back-to-back fire places. A recessed front porch covers the full facade. The expansive gable ends are a clue to the original builder providing room for a half story which was never added.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 20, 1988.</p><br>
<p>The Sandburg House is a private home located on Lake Michigan near Harbert, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1926, poet Carl Sandburg published the first volume of his biography of Abraham Lincoln entitled Abraham Lincoln: The Prairie Years. Exhausted from this and other writings, Sandburg and his family left Chicago for the summer to vacation in a cottage overlooking Lake Michigan near Harbert. Charmed by the location, the family stayed in Harbert through the fall. A few years later, they built this house along the shore of the lake. The house was designed by Lilian Sandburg, Carl&#39;s wife.</p><br>
<p>The Sandburgs lived in this house year-round for nearly two decades. Carl Sandburg continued to write, and it was here that he wrote the second volume of his Lincoln biography, Abraham Lincoln: The War Years, which won the 1940 Pulitzer Prize in history.</p><br>
<p>However, in 1945, the Sandburgs decided that the winters were too harsh, and moved to another house in North Carolina, which is now the Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site. In 1947, they sold the house to Theodore Yntema, then a University of Chicago professor. It changed hands multiple times since then.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Sandburg House is a multi-storied house designed by Lilian Sandburg with mixed Colonial Revival and Georgian Revival elements. It is located high on a steeply sloping bank overlooking the beach of Lake Michigan. The house rises three stories on the Lake Michigan side, and five stories on the land side, and contains multiple windows overlooking the lake.</p><br>
<p>The Ring Lardner House is a private house located at 519 Bond Street in Niles, Michigan where American author Ring Lardner was born in 1885. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>This house was constructed in about 1850 by R.C. Paine, a local banker and for some time the mayor of Niles. Paine died in 1875 and the house was purchased by Henry Lardner, Ring Lardner&#39;s father. Ring Lardner was born here in 1885 and lived here until his graduation from high school in 1901, when he moved to Chicago. He returned to Niles soon after, and began his career writing articles on sporting events for the Niles Sun, and then moved on again.</p><br>
<p>The house was lived in for many years by Ring&#39;s sister Lena, who taught music. She eventually sold it, and in 1940 it was converted into apartments.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Ring Lardner House is a 1-1/2 story Gothic Revival house with a gabled roof and dormers. It is clad with stucco. The dormers and roof have ornamental vergeboards</p><br>
<p>The Eberstadt Stalactite Cave  is a German show cave located in Bauland at the transition of Southeastern Odenwald forest in the North of Baden-Württemberg. It is near Eberstadt, a District of Buchen, around 70 km east of Heidelberg and north of Stuttgart. The cave is around 600 m long, lies above  and is estimated to be 3 to 5 million years old. It was discovered in December 1971, after blasting operations in a Muschelkalk quarry, and opened in 1973 to the public. Since then it has been used as a show cave and is one of the attractions of the "Geo-Nature park Bergstrasse-Odenwald".</p><br>
<p>The cave entrance is angled several times and in some instances only high, but sports up to 6 m halls. It lies in the lower Muschelkalk and contains rich stalactite ornaments like slender and cone-like Stalagmites and Sinterflags, sinterterraces und crystals. Because the cave was closed after its discovery and guided tours have always used electric light, the dripstones have been preserved mostly still chalk white, in difference to most of the older Germabn showcaves, where the use of der Gcandles and torches have blackened the stones. The Eberstadter Tropfsteinhöhle is thought to be one of the most beautiful show caves of Germany.</p><br>
<h2>Cave data</h2><br>
<p>The Eberstadt Stalactite Cave is a dripstone cave in Bauland at the transition of Southeastern Odenwald in the North of Baden-Württemberg. It is near Eberstadt, a District of Buchen, around east of Heidelberg and north of Stuttgart.</p><br>
<p>The cave is long, its width varies between, the height between. The cave temperature is constant at year-round, with a humidity of about 95%. The age of the cave is estimated between one and two million years. During this time, all forms of sintering on the walls or on the cave floor have been created, including stalactites (dripping stones hanging from the cave ceiling) and stalagmite drips that grow up from the cave bottom.</p><br>
<p>It is easily accessible on trails, including for wheelchair users. It was adapted for high numbers of visitors, with a large parking lot at the foot of the cave, including for tourist buses. In 2011 a small visitor center openend with its architecture intending to symbolize the crevices and distortions of the Muschelkalk. It informs about landscape development in the karst of the area and the development of the cave. The city staffs tourguides, who lead groups through the cave for about an hour year-round between March to the end of October every day, during the winter months only on weekends and holidays. In 1995, a less than one-kilometer-long geological trail (0.6-mile) was created into the mining areas of the neighboring quarry. Information panels explain about the origin of the dripstone cave and the most important geological formations in Baden-Württemberg on the basis of exposed rock patterns.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The cave owes its discovery to chance in a limestone quarry: On December 13th, 1971, a larger cavity was drilled in preparation of a blasting. After part of the demolished material had been cleared, a fresh cave wall running east to west, about eight meters high above the quarry floor and about ten meters below the upper level, showed a cavern opening about two meters wide and one meter high.</p><br>
<p>The floor of the cave covered a layer of clay about one to one and a half meters thick. The water was 10 to 15 centimeters above loamy-soft ground. The visit was therefore laborious at first. The most difficult passage was at Vesuvius, where a rock stage with a rope ladder, later with wooden ladders, had to be overcome.</p><br>
<p>The press was informed how preliminary explorations revealed the beauty of a natural monument, unique in southern Germany. On the same day the news of the cave discovery spread in the village. Many inhabitants went to the quarry to get a personal impression. Photographs still show intact dripping stones which were later damaged. On 14 December, the press and television reported on the discovery. On the following days the television broadcast several special transmissions, which made the cave widely known. In January 1972 the TV stations made further records of the cave, which showed it in its original, still untouched state. Immediately after the discovery, rumors spread that the cave was not stable and was to be closed again. In order to procure souvenirs, several people pushed into the cave and knocked dripping stones off.</p><br>
<p>Because the cave was particularly large and beautiful, and the dripping stones had a great variety of forms, it was found worthy for preservation and development. The Landratsamt Buchen presented them with an interim injunction under nature protection, and 6 years later it was classified as a natural monument (FND).</p><br>
<p>On 15 December 1971 the District Office of Buchen ordered the demolition of the stone quarries. Later, investigations of the stability of the cave ridges and the drip stones showed that quarrying could be maintained at the same time as the cave was used. The explosions in the quarry resumed at a minimum distance of 50 meters to the cave and an important employer of the municipality remained. On December 16, 1971, the town council decided to expand the dripstone cave into a show cave. In order to protect it against further damage, first the entrance was walled in and a door installed. This, too, proved unsuccessful as thieves descended from above and broke the door. Only barbed wire guards above and below the entrance and an additional state police patrol service each night succeeded. Geologists and cave explorers traveled to visit the cave. Experts from the Geological Land Office, the Association of German Cave and Karst Researchers and the Nature Conservation Commissioners advised on the expansion of the cave.</p><br>
<p>Driers Meat Market, also known as Driers Butcher Shop or the Union Meat Market, is a commercial meat market located at 14 South Elm Street in Three Oaks, Michigan. The building has been in continuous use as a butcher shop since the late 19th century. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Drier&#39;s Meat Market was originally constructed as a wagon repair shop. In about 1875 it was converted to a butcher shop by a butcher whose name is uncertain. In 1887, Alec Watson arrived in Three Oaks from Chicago and took over what was then known as the Union Meat Market.</p><br>
<p>Watson hired a 10-year-old boy, Edward T. Drier, as a delivery boy, and in 1913 sold Drier the business. Drier eventually passed it along to his son, Edward Drier Jr. In 1994, he passed it to his daughter Carolyn Drier.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Drier&#39;s Meat Market is a single-story commercial building with a gable roof and rounded false front. The front facade is decorated with scalloped wood trim. The interior has original wood floors and many fixtures dating to the 19th century.</p><br>
<h2>Customers</h2><br>
<p>Over the years, Drier&#39;s has attracted a number of famous customers. These include poet Carl Sandburg (who lived nearby), meat mogul James Hormel and film critic Roger Ebert (both of whom vacationed in the area), Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley, Bill Blass, Larry Hagman, and cartoonist Bill Mauldin.</p><br>
<p>The Evans Manufacturing Company Building, also known as Metropolitan Supply Company Building, is a historic building located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States. The Brown-Evans Manufacturing Company, which made men&#39;s work clothing, was relocated from Sedalia, Missouri to Cedar Rapids when this building was completed in 1919. It was built in the 4th Street Railroad Corridor, which had attracted various industrial enterprises in the years before and after World War I. The Modern Movement building was designed according to the principles of industrial design of the time in light of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in 1911. Its fireproof masonry construction was intended to lessen the risk of fires. Storage of raw stock was located in the basement, cutting and storage of finished stock was located on the first floor, and sewing was done on the second floor and balcony. Its open floor plan allowed for assembly line production.</p><br>
<p>The company reorganized in 1933 as the Evans Garment Company, and it expanded to producing women&#39;s house dresses the following year. As the Great Depression wore on, their market declined and the plant closed three years later. It was replaced by the Metropolitan Supply Company, who moved their printing and school supply operation here in 1936. They moved to a different facility in 1995, and closed a short time later. This building then housed an architectural office, a dance studio, and a warehouse operation. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The Charles C. Sargent House in Nashua, Montana was built in 1917. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>It is an Arts and Crafts-style home which is significant for association with Charles C. Sargent, the</p><br>
<p>first settler of Nashua. Sargent was a scout for General George Custer who "narrowly missed being with Custers troops at the Battle of Little Big Horn. A trader and merchant, he was serving as an Indian agent near Poplar, Montana, when the Great Northern Railway was being constructed through eastern Montana. Hearing that there would be a division point at the place which later became Nashua,_Sargent moved his,family there in 1886 and built the first house on the bank of Porcupine Creek. He started a school, a bank, helped in the formation of School District 13 in Valley County, and established a post office and store in 1888." His original log cabin and the public buildings associated with him have not survived, but this house was built by him in 1917, before the town was incorporated in 1918, and was one of Nashuas "first real homes".</p><br>
<p>The Hamilton Brothers Building, also known as Warfield-Pratt & Howell Co. Wholesale Grocers, and the Hach Brothers Company, is a historic building located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States. This is the only extant building associated with local businessman and politician John Taylor Hamilton. He was a representative of Cyrus McCormick at the time his company was opening new markets for his mechanical reaper and other implements. Hamilton expanded his business to other implement manufactures and included product lines for urban dwellers as well. His business grew beyond the local area to include the entire state. Built as a warehouse in 1899, it is the only building of this type left near the central business district. It is also the largest building of this type in the city. The four-story, brick, Romanesque Revival sturcture features large round arch openings on the main floor and smaller windows on the upper floors. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>The Iowa Wind Mill and Pump Company Office and Warehouse, also known as Iowa Pipe and Supply Company, Cedar Rapids Presort, and the Mott Building, is a historic building located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States. This is the only extant building of a complex of buildings along the Cedar River used by the Iowa Wind Mill and Pump Company. The three-story structure is a simplified version of Victorian architecture. The thick brick walls were a form of fire protection and insulation, while the heavy timber for the interior support structure created large open space that was required to house industrial equipment, production activities, and warehouse storage. The tall windows allowed for interior lighting and ventilation. The first floor provided finished space used for offices. Iowa Wind Mill and Pump Company began as a branch of the Kendallville, Indiana based Flint & Walling Manufacturing Company around 1890. They began building their complex of buildings along the Cedar River and the tracks of the Chicago and North Western Railroad the following year. This building was completed in 1902. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<p>The Paine Bank is a historic bank building located at 1008 Oak Street in Niles, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Rodney C. Paine grew up in New York state, and worked as a clerk in a canal office, post office, and bank. In 1836, his brother-in-law John A. Welles, who was a cashier at the Farmers & Mechanics Bank in Detroit, asked Paine to open a branch in western Michigan, which was rapidly expanding at the time. Paine opened an office in St. Joseph, and quickly gained the trust of the community and was elected county treasurer. In fact, during the Panic of 1837, Paine issued notes without security, but (it was said) were accepted on the basis of his endorsement alone. These notes were known as "Paine&#39;s Money."</p><br>
<p>In 1840, Paine moved to Niles and opened an agency there. In 1843, he constructed this small Greek Revival bank building on the corner of Third and Main Streets. He also constructed a home nearby (now the Ring Lardner House). Paines bank operated as an agency of the Farmers & Mechanics Bank until 1852, after which if became a private bank, known as Paines Bank, owned and operated by Rodney C. Paine. Paine worked at promoting the development of Niles, investing in local industry, serving as the director of the public schools, and being elected to the state senate in 1855. Paine died in 1875.</p><br>
<p>The bank building has been moved twice; once in 1883 to South Third Street, and again in 1961 to its current location. It is currently used for storage.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Paine&#39;s Bank is a small, white, single story, frame Greek Revival building. It has a pedimented tetrastyle Greek Doric portico with fluted columns and antae at the corners of the building.</p><br>
<p>The Palace of Darius in Susa was a palace complex in Susa, Iran, a capital of the Achaemenid Empire. The construction was conducted parallel to that of Persepolis. Man-power and raw materials from various parts of the empire contributed to its construction. It was once destroyed by fire and was partially restored later. Little has remained from this important complex.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The palace complex was constructed by the Achaemenid king Darius I in Susa, his favorite capital. Construction works continued under Darius I&#39;s son, Xerxes, and to a lesser extent, Artaxerxes I (465-424 BC) and Darius II (423–404 BC). Artaxerxes II (404-358 BC) partially restored the palace as it was destroyed by a fire during the reign of Artaxerxes I fifty years earlier. The palace was captured and plundered by the invading Macedonians under Alexander the Great in December 330 BC.</p><br>
<p>The site of the palace has been greatly damaged during the past seven decades.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>Construction was carried out at Susa parallel to those at Persepolis.</p><br>
<p>Sources describing Achaemenid-era Susa are rare. The Achaemenid constructions at Susa are mostly known through the royal inscriptions, which are mostly trilingual—in Old Persian, Elamite, and Babylonian. Unlike the massive number of clay tablets found in Persepolis, only few clay tablets have been found in Susa, despite its important political and economic situation.</p><br>
<p>According to Gene R. Garthwaite, the Susa Palace served as Darius model for Persepolis. Comparing to the palace to that of Pasargadae, the former Achaemenid capital, he argues that Susa even more represented Achaemenid simultaneous rulership, and "what was symbolic was actualized", such that Darius rule "could command craftsmen and material from the breadth of the empire" to build the monument, as is described in Darius "charter of foundation" of the palace (or the DSf inscription), which enumerates the workers and the material used:</p><br>
<p>The Cedar Rapids Pump Company Factory and Warehouse are two historic buildings located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States. The company began in 1881. They manufactured and distributed water pumps and windmills throughout the Midwest from this facility from 1884 to 1929. They completed the first floor of the factory building along the Chicago and North Western Railroad tracks in 1884. The second floor was added to the building around 1894, and in 1901 the warehouse building was completed. The Cedar Rapids Community School District used both buildings for storage from 1974 to about 2008. The buildings were affected by a 2008 flood. The two-story brick factory building features a monitor roof, and is otherwise "purely utilitarian in appearance with no particular stylistic or decorative tendency." The warehouse is also two-stories, constrcted in brick, and lacking in ornamentation. The buildings were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<p>The Joseph and Clara Amanda H. Moorhead House is a historic building located east of Ely, Iowa, United States. Joseph was a native of Holmes County, Ohio and Clara was from Chemung County, New York. They settled in Putnam Township in 1855 with their two sons. The Moorhead daughters were born in Iowa. The family initially lived in a log house before the original part of this house was built in 1859. The house is the only known residential example of heavy timber frame construction that remains in Linn County from its settlement period. This construction method was more common in barn construction. The house was originally a rectangular two-story structure with side gables. Additions and a wrap-around porch were added in later years. Two barns associated with the farm, no longer extant, were located across the road.</p><br>
<p>The Moorheads lived here until 1881 when Joseph was elected the county auditor, and they moved into Marion. They retained ownership of the property until 1900. Clara died in Marion in 1901 and Joseph died two years later in Wichita, Kansas, where he lived with one of their daughters. They are buried nearby in the Rogers Grove Cemetery. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<p>The Torrance House is a historic building located south of Lisbon, Iowa, United States. Cunningham and Margaret Torrance were natives of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania who settled in Franklin Township in 1847. The inscription stone in the east gable gives the date of this house as 1856. It was one of a few limestone buildings in Linn County even though the region has significant deposits of the stone. The settlement-era dwelling incorporates both vernacular and classical influences in its construction. The vernacular elements include the asymmetry of the facades, and the coursed ashlar and random coursed ashlar stonework. The classical is primarily found in the stone belt courses above the second floor and gable windows on the east elevation, and above both rows of windows on the main facade. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>Breeny More Stone Circle is a stone circle and National Monument located in County Cork, Ireland.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Breeny More Stone Circle is situated 1 km southeast of Kealkill, overlooking Bantry Bay to the west. Another stone circle lies 175 m to the northeast.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Boulder burials of this type are believed to date from the middle Bronze Age, i.e. 1500–1000 BC. The toponym is from the Irish brúine móra, "great dwellings of the fairies."</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>This is a stone circle with four boulder burials. The circle has two entrance stones and an axial stone, with a main axis measuring 14 m. It has a southeast-northwest axis, facing the rising sun.</p><br>
<p>A "boulder burial" is a single large boulder sitting on three or four support stones; the term was coined by Seán Ó Nualláin in the 1970s. They are generally found in the southwest, and associated with standing stones and stone circles; some dispute that there were ever burial sites, as no human remains have ever been recovered.</p><br>
<p>The Worcester State Hospital Farmhouse is a historic psychiatric hospital building at 361 Plantation Street, on the former grounds of the Worcester State Hospital in Worcester, Massachusetts. Built in 1895, it is a well-preserved local example of Georgian Revival architecture, and is notable as a prototype for similar buildings in the Massachusetts state hospital network. It served as an outbuilding of Worcester State Hospital until 1969, housing select residents who worked in its fields. It now houses state mental health offices. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Worcester State Hospital Farmhouse is located near the eastern edge of the former Worcester State Hospital complex, a property of more than 200 acre that has in part been redeveloped for commercial purposes. It is located just west of Plantation Street and south of Research Drive. It is a 2-1/2 story brick building that is L-shaped and covered by a hip roof with two cupolas. The building was historically divided functionally into a residence for the farm overseer and his family, with a dormitory and residence wing for hospital staff and inmates. The long dormitory wing is fronted on the Plantation Street side by a long shed-roof porch with a tall latticework skirt obscuring the basement and Tuscan columns for support.</p><br>
<p>The farmhouse was built in 1895 to a design by the Worcester architects Fuller & Delano. The Worcester State Hospital, founded in 1833 as the Worcester Lunatic Asylum, had been experiencing increased demand for its services, and in 1870 the state purchased land for the campus on Worcesters east side. The main building, a large Kirkbride Plan was built soon afterward (and was largely demolished in the 1990s). At the time of the 1870 land purchase, one of the extant farmhouses was adapted for use to house patients and staff involved in the hospitals agricultural activities. This building was built as a replacement for that house, and is a particularly elegant example of Georgian Revival architecture. Its design was used as a model for similar buildings at Danvers State Hospital (since demolished), Medfield State Hospital, and Westborough State Hospital.</p><br>
<p>The Roman Villa of Bagnoli is located in contrada Bagnoli-San Gregorio, near the town of Capo d&#39;Orlando, Sicily.</p><br>
<h2>History and Description</h2><br>
<p>The site was discovered in 1986 during the construction of a carpark, and subsequent archaeological excavations unearthed part of a luxurious seaside villa dating from the early third century AD.</p><br>
<p>The rooms explored so far belonged to thermal baths decorated with floor mosaics. Much of the villa remains buried beneath buildings and a road.</p><br>
<p>Six rooms have been excavated, including a tepidarium (room 4) and a caldarium (rooms 5-6). These rooms have the traditional Roman hypocaust heating system.</p><br>
<p>The polychrome mosaics of the villa are geometric designs, stylistically close to North African mosaics, and damaged areas suggest figures were also included.</p><br>
<p>The Roman Villa of contrada Geraci is located near Enna along provincial road n. 78 at the Rastello-Ramata junction, on the Fontanazza estate, Sicily.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>The remains of a villa rustica were found in the early 1990s when a flood revealed mosaic floor tiles. Archaeology has continued since then, and from 2013 by British Columbia University.</p><br>
<p>The earliest buildings date to 325-50 AD, and after their collapse possibly in the earthquake of 361 AD they were overbuilt in about 370 AD by a more extensive villa which may never have been completed, and was burnt down 100 years later.</p><br>
<p>5 of the main rooms uncovered are situated around a peristyle and have mosaic floors. The range of colours used in the mosaics is very varied: black, grey, red, green, pink, white and the compositions are accurately made. The mosaics of the peristyle and the southern corridor particularly have numerous motifs. The skilled workmanship and design indicate North African influence and similarity to those of the Villa Romana del Casale.</p><br>
<p>Thermal baths have also been excavated.</p><br>
<p>The villa of at least 10,000 square metres area is further evidence that Roman villas in Sicily are not just represented by a few examples such as the exceptional Villa del Casale but have a significant distribution density which raises estimates of the rural population and economy.</p><br>
<p>Lake Nisqually is used to identify the freshwater lake formed in the Puget Sound trough, west of Tacoma. It is sometime confused with Early Lake Russell which covered the same area during a previous northward retreat of the glacier. The glacier returned southward, then on its final retreat northward, the waters filing this basin are referred to as Lake Nisqually. Its discharge was across the Black Lake channel at 160 ft above sea level.</p><br>
<p>Two deltas formed along the eastern margin of the lake from the outflow of Lake Tacoma in the Puyallup River valley. Both the Steilacoom and Sequalichew deltas, at 160 ft. A rise in level to 180 to 200 ft reflects the closure of the Black Lake outlet while the two deltas were still growing.</p><br>
<p>The advance of the glacier sufficient to close the Black Lake outlet would turn the Nisqually River, and the drainage of the Steilacoom Plains across Chambers and Bush prairies.</p><br>
<p>During this advance the ice front would have been at a northeast-southwest course between Tacoma and Olympia. The areas of Lake Puyallup and Lake Tacoma were not significantly affected. The Clover Creek and South Tacoma channels remained in use, and the gravel plains adjusted grades to the 180 ft level.</p><br>
<p>It appears that clearing of the Narrows occurred during this retreat, and that Lake Tacoma was thus lowered, and became a part of Lake Russell.</p><br>
<p>During the Vashon Glaciation a series of lakes formed along the southern margin of the Cordilleran Ice Cap. In the Puget Sound depression, a series of lake developed, Lake Russell was the largest and the longest lasting. Early Lake Russell’s surface was at 350 ft above sea level, draining across the divide at Shelton, Washington into early Glacial Lake Russell. When the ice margin receded northward, the lake expanded and then when it reached the Clifton channel outlet, the water levels dropped to 350 m above sea level. The new longer and lower level lake is referred to as Lake Hood. The glacier continued to retreat until the northern outlet of the Hood Canal was reached as the water level equalized with Glacial Lake Russell becoming part of that body of water.</p><br>
<p>Lake Russell is named for geologist, Isaac Russell.</p><br>
<p>Forming about 17,000 years before present (ybp) as the ice front began to retreat northward. One version or another of Lake Russell existed form 16,900 ybp until 15,900 ybp.</p><br>
<h2>Early Lake Russell</h2><br>
<p>Early Lake Russell formed in the southern basins of Puget Sound. As the glacial ice retreated northward, the geologic troughs, which create the basins of the sound remained blocked from the northward outlets, until the Tacoma Narrows cleared, the basins east of Tacoma remained separate from those to the west. Lake Tacoma is the name given to these eastern waters, until they merged with those of Lake Russell to the west. Lake Nisqually was the name given to the freshwater in the Nisqually Reach, until the ice front retreated far enough north for the meltwaters covered the land between the mouth of the Nisqually River and Olympia, joining a freshwater lake in the Budd Inlet and Black Lake forming Early Lake Russell. Lake Russell filled the basins of the Eld Inlet, Budd Inlet, Henderson Inlet, and the great curve of the Nisqually Reach, northward to the Tacoma Narrows, and the highgrounds between then up to 160 ft above sea level.</p><br>
<h3>Black Lake Outlet</h3><br>
<p>When the glacial ice receded northward, reaching the Olympia area, a low drainage was reached in eastern the Black Hills. Using the Black River as it’s primary drainage, Lake Russell came into existence was continued after the edge of the ice had withdrawn from the region. Using two channels, the waters drained south to the Chehalis River valley. A northern channel left the Budd Inlet in near Butler Cove. A southern channel passed through Capitol Lake. A third channel may have existed from the Eld Inlet. They merged where Black Lake now exists, following the Black River southward. Following the south side of a line of hill, the channel is 150 to 155 ft above sea level with a gravel plain 160 ft across the outlet. This barrier is thought to be deposits from the outflow</p><br>
<p>Percival Creek contain the Northern Pacific Railroad route over the pass between Puget Souond and the Chehalis Valley. In the pass is long, narrow swamp, which drains, to both Puget Sound and Grays Harbor. Its altitude is 120 ft above sea level. Along the southern margin is a gravel bluff at 150 to 160 ft, and of considerable size. The northern margin has a gravel terrace at 140 ft above sea level, and another narrow terrace is at 160 ft. The existing valley is the results of post glacial erosion. The bluffs along both sides as seen as evidence of this theory.</p><br>
<p>Black Lake, resides in the pass, beginning as a swamp. Black Lake is 2 to 2.5 mile long and 0.5 mile wide. It stands 120 ft above tide.</p><br>
<p>Withdrawal of the edge of the ice from Thurston County left both the Des Chutes and Nisqually Rivers free to flow directly northward to the growing body of water in the unobliterated interglacial valleys. The Nisqually carried a large volume of water when it first entered Lake Russell, since the Ohop channel still contributed the drainage of the northern and western slopes of Mount Rainier. It appears to have entered the western side of the interglacial Gate Pathway River valley, and to have contributed considerably toward the obliteration of that valley by deposition of the Sherlock Delta.</p><br>

<p>During the Vashon Glaciation a series of lakes formed along the southern margin of the Cordilleran Ice Cap. In the Hood Canal depression, two significant lake stages existed, Lake Skokomish and Lake Hood. Early Lake Skokomish’s surface was at 350 ft above sea level, draining across the divide at Shelton, Washington into early Glacial Lake Russell. As the glacier receded northward, this freshwater lake grew in size, until the ice was north of the Clifton channel. With the opening of the Clifton channel, the water dropped to 160 m above sea level. This longer and lower level lake is referred to as Lake Hood. The glacier continued to recede northward until it reached the Poulsbo channel. Here, the water level equalized to Glacial Lake Russell nolonger having a separate identify.</p><br>
<h2>Lake Skokomish</h2><br>
<p>Lake Skokomish formed in the depression of the Hood Canal and the Skokomish River. It drained across a southern divide at Shelton, Washington. When this outflow joined Lake Russell, it formed the Shelton Delta. This outlet was approximately 350 ft above sea level. As the glacier receded northward, a lower outlet at Clifton, opened into Lake Russell at Cases Inlet (North Bay)</p><br>
<p>Lake Hood</p><br>
<p>The second and lower stage of this water body formed when the ice was far enough north to open the Clifton outlet. It continued until the glacier reached the Poulsbo Channel. Here, Lake Russell and Lake Hood equalized and became one lake.</p><br>
<p>The Clifton Channel: The Clifton outlet channel is a definite feature across the divide on which it lies. It is 60 ft deep at Lake Deborah in the col, 220 ft above tide. This lake now drains both to Cases Inlet and Hoods Canal. Gravel terraces exist along the channel, and one terrace on the east side continues as a small channel directly eastward to Cases Inlet. The Clifton channel ends in the forest west of Allyn, 160 ft above tide, corresponding with the dominant water plane of Lake Russell.</p><br>
<p>The Brinnon Delta: The only delta of Vashon age known in the valley of Hoods Canal is at the mouth of the Dusewallips River, on the north side of the valley. At the seaward upper margin, it is 120 ft above the Sound. Its altitude makes it obviously a feature produced subsequent to Lake Hood, whose waters were 100 ft higher.</p><br>
<p>The Poulsbo Channel: The Kitsap County peninsula between Hoods Canal and Admiralty Inlet is sufficiently high to have confined Lake Hood as far north as Breidablik, northwest of Dogfish (Liberty) Bay. A meridional trough of the pre-Vashon topography, styled the Poulsbo Valley in this paper, crosses the peninsula here. A swampy pass occurs midway of its length at an altitude of 120feet,andastreamterraceliesontheeasternsideofthevalleynearthepass,atanaltitudeofconvert 150. In the Poulsbo Valley, Lake Hood appears to have found an outlet lower than the Clifton channel, and to have entered Lake Russell at the head of Dogfish Bay.</p><br>
<p>The Brinnon Delta is to be correlated with the 120 ft level of Lake Russell. The two lakes may be considered as one at this stage, Lake Hood sinking by erosion of the Poulsbo channel to the level of Lake Russell, and becoming an arm of it. If the ice dam causing Lake Russell remained effective during the next few miles of retreat, as there is good reason for believing, Lake Russell levels obtained in Hoods Canal with broad connection across the low northern tip of Kitsap County peninsula, a few miles north of the Poulsbo channel.</p><br>
<p>Lack of Vashon Deltas of Olympic Rivers</p><br>
<p>The Olympic Mountains have several streams leading into Hoods Canal, which have no valley deltas at the levels of the glacial lakes. The valley of Quilcene River has a long gravel slope gradually descending from levels above Lake Russell to tidewater.</p><br>
<p>The Duckabush Valley, the Hama Hama and Skokomish rivers show no evidence of glacially derived deltas. Is appears the later erosion regraded the Pleistocene gravels of these valleys.</p><br>
<h2>Lake Hood</h2><br>
<p>The second and lower stage of this water body formed when the ice was far enough north to open the Clifton outlet. It continued until the glacier reached the Poulsbo Channel. Here, Lake Russell and Lake Hood equalized and became one lake.</p><br>
<p>The Old Berrien County Courthouse Complex is a historic district containing four significant structures, three former county buildings and a house. It is located in Berrien Springs, Michigan and roughly bounded by Cass, Kimmel, Madison and Union Streets. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Berrien County was first organized in 1831. The first attorney in the county, Francis B. Murdock, arrived here in about 1830 and constructed a log house near this location in 1832. Berrien Springs donated four lots at this site on which to construct county buildings. A jail with jailor&#39;s residence was constructed here in 1837/38. In 1838, Gilbert Button Avery, a local builder, designed a building to house the county court. Builder James Lewis was awarded a contract to erect the building for $2,500; construction was completed in 1839.</p><br>
<p>County records were originally kept in the courthouse basement, but because of the potential danger from dampness and fire in this frame structure, a separate county office building was built in 1860-61 by local contractor George H. Murdoch at a cost of $3000. In 1869, a new jail and sheriff&#39;s residence was built at a cost of $26,720.34. In 1873, the county built a larger, "fire-proof" office building at a cost of $5609.52; the 1860 building became the rear wing of the new building.</p><br>
<p>However, despite the new construction, by the 1870s, the courthouse became too small to hold county records, and county residents of the more populous coastal towns grumbled about the poor transportation to Berrien Springs. By the early 1890s, the cities of St. Joseph and Benton Harbor came to an agreement about siting a new courthouse, and a county-wide vote was instituted, with the plan to move the courthouse prevailing. In 1894, the county seat was moved to St. Joseph.</p><br>
<p>After the relocation of the county seat, the former courthouse complex was sold to private individuals in 1897. The courthouse itself served for a few years as village hall, as an armory for the Berrien Springs Light Guard, and was used from 1922 to 1967 by the Berrien Springs Village Seventh-Day Adventist Church. The jail was demolished, and the sheriff&#39;s residence and office building were remodeled into apartments. The Murdock log house was built onto, becoming a wing of a more modern house. However, the buildings gradually decayed over the years of the twentieth century.</p><br>
<p>In 1967, the Seventh-Day Adventist Church put the former courthouse up for sale, and there was some talk of demolishing the buildings. Historical societies in the county joined together to preserve the courthouse. In 1968, the county re-purchased the buildings and leased it to the Berrien County Historical Association, which slowly restored the building. In 1968, the house to which the Murdock log house was attached was demolished; the Association saved the Murdock house from demolition and in 1973 moved it from its original site a short distance to the present site within the courthouse complex. The Association gradually acquired effective control over the remaining county buildings in the complex.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Old Berrien County Courthouse Complex is located on a two-acre site which was formerly a courthouse square. It contains four historical structures: The former Berrien County Courthouse, constructed in 1839; the former county office building, constructed in 1860-61 and enlarged in 1873; the former county sheriff&#39;s residence, constructed in 1869; and the F. B. Murdock House, a log structure constructed in about 1832 and moved to the present site in 1973.</p><br>
<h3>Old Berrien County Courthouse</h3><br>
<p>The Old Berrien County Courthouse is individually listed on the National Register. The courthouse is a white frame Greek Revival end-gable structure on a high brick basement, measuring 41 feet by 61 feet. It has a portico across the front with four 20 foot high fluted Doric columns, with a small balcony within the portico. The exterior of the building is clad with clapboard, and a series of triple-sash windows, 15 feet high, line the sides and rear of the building.</p><br>
<h3>County office building</h3><br>
<p>The county office building is a two-story brick Italianate structure with a low hip roof and a fieldstone foundation. It has a central recessed entrance and arched windows with sandstone sills. The structure has a metal cornice. On the rear of the building is a single-story red brick, gable-roofed wing with sandstone trim. This was the original office building, constructed in 1860/61.</p><br>
<h3>Sheriff's residence</h3><br>
<p>THe sheriff&#39;s residence is a two-story red brick house with a low roof. The main entrance is sheltered by a portico and flanked by paired, four-over-four, sash windows. a brick cornice tops the building.</p><br>
<h3>Murdock log house</h3><br>
<p>The Murdock log house is a two-story, gable-roofed log structure measuring 20 feet by 30 feet. It has a wood shingle roof, and the gables are covered with vertical board.</p><br>
<p>The Boston Fish Pier is the central site for the fishing industry based in Boston, Massachusetts. Located on Northern Avenue in South Boston in Boston&#39;s Inner Harbor, the pier has played this role since its establishment in 1910. In the 1920s, it was home to one of the largest fishing fleets in the eastern United States, processing 250 million pounds of fish. The pier and its associated buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Boston Fish Pier is located on the south side of the main channel of Boston Harbor, with Logan Airport across the channel to the north. It is bounded on the south by Northern Avenue, which runs east-west on the South Boston peninsula. The pier is 300 ft wide and 1,200 ft long. Two virtually identical long buildings extend for much of its length, with a small administration building at the very end. They are built out of steel and concrete, and are trimmed in terra cotta. The two main buildings feature high arched hallways and 44 storefronts for the dealers, handlers, and other businesses engaged in fishery-related activities.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Prior to construction of this facility, Bostons fishing industry was based at facilities leased on T Wharf, an appendage to the Long Wharf that was a central feature of the citys working waterfront for decades. Overall management of the industry was overseen by the Boston Fish Market Association. With its lease expiring in 1909, an agreement was made between the association, city, and state for the construction of a dedicate pier on the South Boston waterfront. Initially dubbed Pier Six, it was built 1910, with the buildings following in 1912. The buildings were designed by Henry F. Keyes, who also designed the adjacent Commonwealth Pier which had been considered as a site for the fish market. At the time of its completion, its facilities included an eight-story cold storage facility with a capacity of 15 million pounds of fish, which was claimed to be the largest in the world.</p><br>
<p>In 1926, the pier handled 250 million pounds of fish, provided berth space for 40 vessels, and unloading dock space for 80. The pier&#39;s business peaked in 1969, when 339 million pounds of fish were landed. The facility was taken over by the Massachusetts Port Authority in 1972, which oversaw a major rehabilitation and upgrade of its facilities in 1979. The exchange building at the end of the pier, where fish auctions were historically held, is now a conference center, but the pier is still dominated by fishery activities.</p><br>
<p>The Warren Featherbone Company Office Building is an office building located at 3 North Elm Street in Three Oaks, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Edward K. Warren arrived in Three Oaks in 1858 and opened a dry goods store. As a dry goods proprietor, he was familiar with complaints about the fragility of the then-common whalebone stays used in women&#39;s dresses. He also frequented the Chicago Feather Duster Company to purchase goods. It was there that he found out that the company disposed of turkey wing feathers as being too stiff to use in a feather duster. Warren eventually realized that stiff feather quills might make a suitable replacement for whalebone stays, and after some experimentation perfected a product which he christened the "featherbone." He opened the Warren Featherbone Company in 1883 to manufacture his new stays, and the product was an immediate success.</p><br>
<p>Warren&#39;s company continued to grow and expand, opening offices in Chicago and other cities. By 1905, the company needed a new office building, and Warren engaged architect George Allen to design this building as the headquarters for the Warren Featherbone Company and for the Warren Bank. Edward K. Warren died in 1919, but his companies survived, and in 1928 the Warren Featherbone Company and the Warren Bank moved to a new building. The Warren Featherstone Company diversified over the years, and now works in the healthcare and education fields. After it was vacated, this building was sold to the Edward K. Warren Foundation, a philanthropic organization established by E. K. Warren in 1917. The Foundation was responsible for donating land for both the Warren Dunes State Park and the Warren Woods State Park to the state of Michigan. The Foundation used this building to house its museum collection.</p><br>
<p>In 1951, the museum donated its entire collection to Michigan State University. After this, a number of commercial enterprises occupied the building, until 1983, when the Bank of Three Oaks, the successor to the E. K. Warren Bank, purchased the building. The bank rehabilitated the structure to house company offices. Various banks used the building until 1999, when Fifth Third Bank sold the structure to the Three Oaks Township Public Library. The library mived into the building in 2000 and continues to occupy it.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Warren Featherbone Company Office Building is a three-story rectangular brick Renaissance Revival structure. Located on a street corner, the two principal facades are faced in orange brick and have limestone trim. The main facade is symmetrical, with broad, arched openings on the first floor, square-head windows on the second floor, and round-head windows flanked by piers on the third. A metal cornice tops the facade.</p><br>
<p>The central entrance leads to the interior lobby, with a stair to the second floor, and entrances to what were originally the banking room and the E. K. Warren office. The rear of the building contains a large room that was once manufacturing or storage space for the Warren Featherbone Company. The second floor contains offices across the front and an upper public banking room across the entire back. The third floor was originally used for storage.</p><br>
<p>Higashiyama Government office site is the site of a Nara period government office complex located in what is now part of the town of Kami in Kami District, Miyagi prefecture in the Tōhoku region of far northern Honshu, Japan. The site was proclaimed a National National Historic Site in January 1999. It is roughly contemporary with Taga Castle to the southeast.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>In the late Nara period, after the establishment of a centralized government under the Ritsuryō system, the Yamato court sent a number of military expeditions to what is now the Tōhoku region of northern Japan to bring the local Emishi tribes under its control.</p><br>
<p>The site was excavated in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The ruins are located on a plateau at the southeast end of a group of hills extending from the Ou Mountains towards the Osaki plains of northern Miyagi Prefecture. The site consists of the remnants of a fortified square enclosure, approximately 300 meters east-west by 250 meters north-south, with an earthen rampart, presumably surmounted by a wooden palisade. Inside the enclosure, post holes and foundation stones indicate the locations of political affairs and ceremonial buildings, and numerous warehouses.</p><br>
<p>There is nothing to be seen at the site today except for a commemorative stone marker.</p><br>
<p>Eshab-ı Kehf Cave, also known as Ashab-ı Kehf Cave or Seven Sleepers&#39; Cave,  is a show cave situated to the north of Tarsus, an ilçe  in Mersin Province, Turkey. The cave is named after the Arabic language word "aṣḥāb al kahf", "people of the cave", for Seven Sleepers of Ephesus, a belief in Christian and Islamic tradition.</p><br>
<p>The cave is about 14 km to Tarsus and about 40 km to Mersin. It is at the foothill of a small hill. The cave is small, not comparable to other caves of the province. However, it is a famed to be the cave of the Seven Sleepers. The exact location of the Seven Sleepers cave is not known, and there are many other places including some in Turkey claiming to be the cave of the Seven Sleepers. Next to the cave, there is a mosque commissioned by the Ottoman sultan Abdülaziz (reigned 1861–1876), and built in 1873. The mosques tall minaret with three balconies was added later.</p><br>
<p>The other probable locations of the Seven Sleepers in Turkey are:</p><br>
<p>Ephesus in İzmir Province</p><br>
<p>Lice in Diyarbakır Province</p><br>
<p>Afşin in Kahramanmaraş Province (see Eshab-ı Kehf Kulliye)</p><br>
<p>Bhomat  is a mountainous and forested area in southern Rajasthan, covering all or parts of the tehsils of Kotra, Jhadol and Kherwara in Udaipur district. During British rule, the region was also referred to as Hilly Tracts of Mewar.</p><br>
<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>The name Bhomat is based on the understanding that land tenures known as bhum were held by jagirdars in the region.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Bhomat region is 25 to 50 km wide in the east-west direction and stretches approximately 94 km in the north-south axis. It covers approximately 1,233 km&sup2;.Geographically, Bhomat is divided in three sub-regions: its western area is called Bhader (Hindi: भाडेर), the central area is called Wakal (after the Wakal River; Hindi: वाकल) and the eastern area is called Khadak (Hindi: खड़क). Primary rivers of the Bhomat are Sabarmati, Vakal, and Som.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the 15th century, Rana Kumbha is credited with building fortresses in the Bhomat region with the goal of containing revolts among the Bhils of the area. In the 16th century, the Bhomat region was the shelter for the Ranas of Mewar when times of military crises caused by the Mughals.</p><br>
<p>The Bhomat is recognized as a geographical or cultural region, but it was a unified political entity for only a short term - a century - under British paramountcy. Prior to accession of the Mewar State to the Republic of India in 1949, the region was ruled by several jagirdars, the important ones being: Jawas, Pahara, Madri, Thana, Chhani, Juda, Panarwa, Oghna, Umariya, Patia, Sarwan, and Nainbara. These jagirdars were known as bhumias (i.e., ones holding a bhum land tenure) and owed only nominal allegiance to the Mewar State.</p><br>
<p>For approximately a century during British paramountcy over Mewar State, the Bhomat represented a political unit divided in two sub-divisions - Kherwara Bhomat to the east and Kotra Bhomat to the east.</p><br>
<h2>Population</h2><br>
<p>Adivasis comprise the majority of the population in the Bhomat. The adivasis of the Bhomat are generally considered to have less contact with mainstream culture</p><br>

<p>Numazu Shell Midden is a Jōmon period archaeological site consisting of a shell midden and the remains of an adjacent settlement located in what is now the city of Ishinomaki, Miyagi Prefecture in the Tōhoku region of northern Japan. It is protected by the central government as a National Historic Site.</p><br>
<p>The rocky ria coast of Miyagi Prefecture was densely settled from the early through late Jōmon period, and the locations of such coastal settlements are often marked by shell middens containing shellfish, fish, animal and whale bones and human-produced artifacts, including earthenware shards, fishing hooks, etc.</p><br>
<p>The Numazu Shell Midden is located east of the modern city, near Mankoku Bay, at an elevation of approximately twenty-five meters from the present-day coastline. The midden is very large, extending for 220 meters east-west and 160 meters north-south, with a height of approximately 15 meters, indicating continuous usage over thousands of years. A preliminary survey was conducted intermittently from 1908 to 1929 by local authorities, during which time over 1200 artifacts such as bone fishhooks, harpoons and bone combs and ornaments, along with Jomon-period pottery and two terracotta animal figurines.These items are now stored at the Tohoku University. More comprehensive excavations were conducted in 1958, 1963 and 1967; however the site did not receive protection until it was designated as a national historic site in 1972.</p><br>
<p>The Ninth District Lighthouse Depot is a collection of historic structures located at 128 North Pier Street in St. Joseph, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. It now houses the Saint Joseph River Yacht Club.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first two lighthouses constructed on Lake Michigan were built in 1832. By 1852, there were 27 lighthouses on Lake Michigan, and 76 on all of the Great Lakes. That year, Congress reorganized the Lighthouse Establishment into districts, with much of the Great Lakes falling into the eleventh district, headquartered in Detroit. In 1866, the Lighthouse Establishment was reorganized again, this time establishing a ninth district which covered Lake Michigan. At first, the ninth district at first shared the eleventh district supply depot, but the number of lights on Lake Michigan continued to grow, to 81 in 1890. Due to the number of lights covered by the ninth district, and to the difficulty of accessing the Detroit-based supply depot in the winter months, sharing a supply depot proved unsatisfactory.</p><br>
<p>In 1891, Congress appropriated $35,000 for the construction of a supply depot at St. Josephs harbor. Plans for the depot were prepared by the ninth district engineer, Major William Ludlow of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Construction of the depot began in 1891, and work was eventually completed in early 1893 on the storehouse, keepers house, and carpenter-lampist shop. A storehouse/shop building on the grounds was likely built in 1909/10. The depot was used for receiving, overhauling, and storing buoys and their appendages, and was charged with delivering supplies to the lighthouse keepers in the district.</p><br>
<p>However, the depot located in St. Joseph was deemed to be too far removed from Milwaukee, where the ninth district was headquartered. In 1904, additional money was appropriated to construct a second depot in Milwaukee. The St. Joseph depot remained the primary one for the district until 1916, when the Milwaukee depot was designated as the principal depot. The St. Joseph depot was closed in 1917, and in 1918 was transferred to the Navy for use as a naval station.</p><br>
<p>It is likely that the depot served as headquarters for the Michigan Naval Militia&#39;s Benton Harbor unit until 1927, when the Benton Harbor Naval Armory was constructed. The depot was transferred to the state of Michigan in 1936, and it continued to serve as a naval militia and naval reserve station until about 1950. In 1952, it was used to house army reserves, and starting in 1956, it has was used to house a unit of the Michigan Army National Guard.</p><br>

<p>The Laurel and Marshall Streets District is a historic district encompassing a late-19th and early-20th century residential area in the Asylum Hill neighborhood of Hartford, Connecticut. Extending along Laurel and Marshall Streets between Niles and Case Streets, its housing stock represents a significant concentration of middle-class Queen Anne architecture in the city. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Most of the area that became Laurel and Marshall Streets on Hartford&#39;s west side, was farmland until the mid-19th century, belonging to Marshall Jewell and James Niles. After the death of Marshall Jewell in 1883, the lands south of Niles Street and west of Imlay Street were developed. The area north of Farmington Avenue was developed first, with a series of primarily wood-frame houses built along Laurel and Marshall Streets. The area between Farmington Avenue and Case Street was developed last, around the turn of the 20th century. Subsequent redevelopment has resulted in the loss of a number of these early houses, replaced by more modern apartment blocks.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is bounded on the north by Niles Street and the south roughly by Case Street, including most of the historic buildings on Laurel and Marshall Streets in between. It also includes a few rowhouses of the period on Imlay Street to the east. Most of the period housing is of wood-frame construction, with typical Queen Anne styling that includes turrets, decorative cut shingles, and latticework and turned porch elements. There are a few brick houses, and several multi-family residences of the period. The west side of Marshall Street has seen to largest losses, with multiple houses demolished and replaced by more modern apartment blocks.</p><br>
<p>The Lewis Street Block is a historic district encompassing the southern half of Lewis Street and some adjacent buildings in downtown Hartford, Connecticut. The streetscape is reminiscent of a mid-19th century city street, with architecture extending from that period into the early 20th century. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Lewis Street historically marked the western edge of Hartfords developed city center, extending north-south between Pearl and Trumbull Streets. It was deeded to the city in 1798, and was little more than an alley until 1841, when it was widened and named Wells Street. It was renamed Lewis Street in 1883, in honor of Lewis Rowell, its principal landowner. The streetscape is divided, with the northern end near Pearl Street now taken over by modern development. The southern half of the block includes five buildings dating to the 1850s, and modestly scaled late 19th and early 20th-century commercial buildings. It is downtown Hartfords only survivng example of this type of mid-to-late 19th-century streetscape.</p><br>
<p>The west side of the southern half of Lewis Street is lined by three 1850s houses, now adapted as commercial office space, with two low-rise office buildings built in the 1920s. The latter two are modest in scale and styled in the Classical Revival. The three houses were built in the 1950s by Lewis Rowell, one of them as his personal residence. The east side of the street has three more 1850s brick houses, possibly built by Austin Daniels, and a substantial Georgian Revival building erected in 1908 to house the church offices of the adjacent First Church of Christ. These buildings are all owned by either the church, or by Hartford&#39;s University Club.</p><br>
<p>The Glenn O. and Lucy O. Pyle House is a historic building located in Marion, Iowa, United States. Pyle, who was involved in his familys lumberyard, built this 1½-story bungalow in 1924 for his family home. They moved here from a house on 14th Street that he also built. Both houses are located in a neighborhood where the communitys more prominent citizens built their homes in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They sold this property in 1933 after they had relocated to Hollywood, Florida. The house features decorative elements from both of the Craftsman and Colonial Revival styles. While it is thought that this is a patternbook or catalog house, there appear to be several custom details that suggests Pyle may have designed elements of this house himself.</p><br>
<p>Tsoogot Gaay Lake is one of Canadas most westerly lakes, located in the south west corner of Yukon at the Beaver Creek border with Alaska, 30 km NW along the Alaska Highway from Beaver Creeks townsite. Tsoogot Gaay Lake is 567 m above sea level and measures.18 km&sup2;.</p><br>
<p>This lake complex also includes Chį̀hjiit Lake, Dlaałäl Lake, and Mänh Tseek. The highest point nearby is 792 m above sea level, 2.1 km west of Ts&#39;oogot Gaay Lake. It extends 1.2 km in the north–south direction, and 0.8 km in the east–west direction.</p><br>
<p>The vegetation around Ts&#39;oogot Gaay Lake is mainly sparse and often low-growth subarctic forest. The annual average temperature in the valley is -5 &deg;C. The warmest month is July, when the average temperature is 14 &deg;C, and the coldest is January, at -24 &deg;C.</p><br>
<p>Little John is an archaeological site in Yukon, Canada, located 25 km northwest of the White River First Nation community of Beaver Creek, from which human artefacts and ancient animal bones have been radiocarbon dated to 14,000 years before present , earlier than the generally accepted time for human migration into the Americas and one of the oldest sites in Beringia.</p><br>
<h2>Context</h2><br>
<p>The Little John site lies at the edge of the Mirror Creek glacial advance (central Yukon&#39;s Reid, or North American Illinoian glacial events).</p><br>
<h2>Dating</h2><br>
<p>The site was excavated by anthropologist Norman Alexander Easton between 2002 and 2017. Radiocarbon dating of one of the human butchered bison bones indicates that the site is between 13,720 and 14,050 years old.</p><br>
<p>The Abner Phelps House sits at 1111 Oak Street just west of Divisadero Street in San Francisco&#39;s Haight Ashbury district. This is currently the oldest house in San Francisco, constructed in approx. 1850 by Abner Phelps and his wife Augusta Roussell with pre-constructed house parts. The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is San Francisco Landmark Number 32, since 1979. The house is not open to the public and is listed as a private residency.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Abner Phelps served in the Mexican–American War as a colonel from 1846–1848 and later worked as a lawyer Downtown on Montgomery Street. He rode a horse to his office, which stood where the Transamerica Pyramid currently is located. By 1854, the San Francisco city borders extended to the property. The architecture style of the house is a reference to Gothic Revival with Colonial features.</p><br>
<p>The building has moved three times; once in 1890 for the road grading on Divisadero Street and then repositioned in the same place, secondly in 1904 to reposition the house so that stores could be built along Divisadero and in the 1970s it was repositioned on the lot to allow for a front yard. It previously had the address 329 Divisadero Street.</p><br>
<h3>Origins</h3><br>
<p>The origins of the house has two contradicting stories. The oldest story published story of the origins is from 1934, "built in 1850 by John Middleton & Sons, one of the first real estate concerns in the city...(and) constructed of lumber into sections brought round the Horn from Maine, there being no sawmills here at the time." The second story is from 1961, Phelps&#39; great-granddaughter stated the house was built in New Orleans and brought in sections and rebuilt in San Francisco between 1850–1851, this was because his wife Roussell was homesick for Louisiana. The home sat on a 160-acre homestead outside of San Francisco and included the area that is now the Golden Gate Park Panhandle.</p><br>

<p>The island, to the mean low-water mark, is part of the Wilsons Promontory National Park and is proclaimed as a Remote and Natural Area under the National Parks Act. The surrounding waters to a distance of 300 m from the mean low-water mark are part of Wilsons Promontory Marine Park.</p><br>
<p>The island is part of the Wilsons Promontory Islands Important Bird Area, identified as such by BirdLife International because of its importance for breeding seabirds.</p><br>
<p>The island was named in 1842 by Captain John Lort Stokes</p><br>
<p>after the numerous rabbits, descendants of those left by sealers to provide a food supply for sailors.</p><br>
<p>The Rock S. Edwards Farmstead is a collection of farm buildings located at 3503 Edwards Road  in Sodus Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Rock Savage Edwards was born in 1829 in Shropshire, England. He emigrated to the United States when he was 28, and worked on farms in Ohio and Michigan to save money to purchase his own farm. In 1860, he purchased this farm for $420, likely raising grain for market in nearby Benton Harbor, and soon after planting fruit trees. In 1862, he enlisted to fight in the Civil War, and was wounded and left for dead in the Battle of Antietam. He returned home for a short time, then rejoined the fight, and was discharged in 1865. He married Miss Lydia E. Fox of Ravenna, Ohio and returned to his farm.</p><br>
<p>Edwards quickly put much of his farm into cultivation, and soon was able to raise enough money from agriculture to build the substantial house and barn on the property. By the early 1870s, the farm had producing orchards, as well as a dairy operation, sheep, chickens, and fields of wheat, oats, and rye. Rock Edwards farmed the property until 1904, when he deeded it to his nephew, Edward C. Edwards, who farmed until his death in 1923. The farm passed to his son, Charles Edwards, but fruit production went into decline in the 1940s. Major agricultural work on the farm ceased after that, and the farm was eventually passed to Edward&#39;s daughters Virginia Handy and Eleanor Handy Blankenship. Much of the acreage was deeded to the state on the construction of the nearby freeway, but the collection of farm buildings remains intact.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Rock S. Edwards Farmstead is sited on approximately 5.5 acres of sandy, rolling land, and contains an 1870s farmhouse and barn along with thirteen other outbuildings and structures, and the remains of other structures which have been demolished. The farmhouse is a two-story gabled structure with a row of windows across the front where an open porch originally existed. It has a fieldstone foundation. The first floor contains a living room, parlor, kitchen, pantry, and two bedrooms. Two more bedrooms are on the second story. The barn, sited nearby, has been enlarged multiple times from its original c. 1870 configuration. A silo, constructed in 1945, is built alongside the barn.</p><br>
<p>The farmstead also contains a packing shed, a garage and corncrib, a blockhouse/tractor shed, two small wood frame houses used by handymen or migrant workers, a granary, pigpen, and several chicken coops.</p><br>
<p>The Little Hollywood Historic District encompasses a concentrated collection of apartment buildings built mainly between the world wars in the Asylum Hill neighborhood of Hartford, Connecticut. Located on Farmington Avenue and Owen, Frederick, and Denison Streets, they were built primarily to attract single tenants seeking small apartments, a trend that developed after World War I and ended after World War II. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Hartfords Asylum Hill neighborhood, located west of the city center, was for many years a fashionable address, where handsome houses and small estates were built for the citys business, political, and cultural elite. By the early 20th century, increased mobility pushed desirable addresses further out of the city, and the Asylum Hill area began to be redeveloped to attract a more middle-class populace. The Little Hollywood area, located just west of the Nook Farm area, began to be developed in this way before World War I, with a series of apartment houses on Farmington Avenue. Owen, Frederick, and Denison Streets were developed between 1919 and 1923. Most of the buildings were designed by local architects, with the single largest number (16 of the 39 buildings) the work of George H. Matthews.</p><br>
<p>The historic district includes a row of brick apartment houses, three and four stories in height, on the north side of Farmington Avenue, just east of Loraine Street. Two prominent buildings are on the south side, on either side of Owen Street. These are the most architecturally sophisticated of the district&#39;s buildings, showing a diversity of styles including the Renaissance Revival, Chicago School, and the Jacobethan. Owen, Frederick, and Denison Streets include a mix of pre-World War II and post-World War II buildings; the latter are excluded from the district. These, while still showing some architectural style, are generally simpler than those facing Farmington Avenue.</p><br>
<p>The Maja e Çikës, at 2,044 m above sea level, is the highest peak of the Ceraunian Mountains. The Ceraunians extends approximately 100 km along the Albanian Riviera in a northwesterly direction from Sarandë to the Karaburun Peninsula. With a prominence of 1,563 m, Maja e Çikës is the 85th most prominent mountain peak in Europe.</p><br>
<p>The climate is mediterranean, having hot summers and generally warm to cool, dry winters. Furthermore, the mount falls within the Illyrian deciduous forests terrestrial ecoregion of the Palearctic Temperate broadleaf and mixed forest. The mount is also part of the Llogara National Park, which is noted for its rich biodiversity and vegetation. The western flank of the mount is vegetated by species such as the Bulgarian fir, Austrian pine, Bosnian pine and Macedonian pine.</p><br>
<p>The Marion Carnegie Public Library is a historic building located in Marion, Iowa, United States. The Marion Federation of Womens Clubs was established in 1901 with the purpose of organizing a public library. Adeliza Daniels was the primary force behind the organization, and she contacted Andrew Carnegie to donate funds for the building. After he agreed to a grant of $11,500, the Cedar Rapids architectural firm of Dieman and Fiske designed the brick Neoclassical building. Cedar Rapids contractor A.H. Conner was responsible for construction. It is a single-story structure built over a raised basement and a proment pedimented main entrance. The new library was dedicated on March 16, 1905, and served the community in that form until 1957. In that year the auditorium in the basement was remodeled into a childrens reading room. A three-story addition, which doubled the size of the building, was completed in 1961. The building was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>The Burlington, Cedar Rapids, and Minnesota Railroad: Walker Station is a historic building located in Walker, Iowa, United States. The two-story frame building with bracketed eaves was completed in 1873 along the Burlington, Cedar Rapids, and Minnesota Railroad tracks. The depot also served its successor railroads: the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern, and the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific. Typical of many railroad towns in the Midwest, this is the first building that was built here and the town grew up around it. It is an example of a combination depot that was used for both passenger and frieght usage in smaller communities. Because it has a ground level brick platform, service here was primary passenger and light freight service. A higher level of freight service would have required a raised platform. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>Tell Tuneinir  is an archaeological site in northeastern Syria. It dates to the early third millennium BC and shows signs of continuous habitation lasting until the beginning of the 15th century AD with epochs during the Byzantine empire, when it was known as the city of Thannuris , and during the Ayyubid period.</p><br>
<h2>Site and history</h2><br>
<p>Tell Tuneinir is situated on the eastern bank of the Khabur river, 15 km southeast of Al-Hasakah, and have an area of 40 hectare. It consist of a central mound 18.2 m high sorrunded by a lower city. The earliest occupation of the tell dates to the Ninevite V period c. 2700 BC. Bronze Age artifacts found include different kinds of pottery, bone tools, animals figurines made of clay depicting sheep, goats, and horses, and two clay; one have the shape of astragulus and the other the shape of a robe, thus they relate to animal products and textile manufacturing. The site&#39;s role as an agricultural settlement is apparent by the existence of decorated sherds depicting animals grazing. By 2000 BC, the region witnessed large scale of settlement abandonment and many sites were never reoccupied but Tell Tuneinir was not affected by the phenomenon; pottery and a cylinder seal discovered in the site demonstrated that the it remained inhabited throughout the second and first millennia BC.</p><br>
<h3>Roman period</h3><br>
<p>When the Khabur turned into the frontier between the Roman Empire and its rival, the Parthian Empire, in the first century BC, Tell Tuneinir evolved from a small agricultural settlement into an important town. The ala prima nova Diocletiana, an equites sagittarii indigenae ("indigenous horse archers") unit, was stationed in the region between Tell Tuneinir, now named Thannuris, and Horaba (modern Tell Ajaja). According to the 6th-century historian Procopius, there existed two cities with the name Thannourios, and emperor Justinian I fortified one of them, converting it into a "truly formidable" fortress, to protect the region from Saracen raids.</p><br>
<h3>Islamic period</h3><br>
<p>The advent of the Caliphate saw the Tell Tuneinir evolving into a small city. In 1401, the armies of Timur destroyed the city. In the Ottoman era, bedouins semi-nomads erected their tents alongside the Durin canal, and Tell Tuneinir became a center for the taxation of those settlers; an Ottoman military building and tombs were found in the site.</p><br>
<h2>Society</h2><br>
<p>In the late Middle Ages, the citys population consisted of Arabic-speaking Muslims and Syriac-speaking Christians; the Syriacs show a cultural continuity throughout the Islamic era—from the Umayyad and Abbasid periods to the Ayyubid period—which is evident from the continuous use of the citys church between the 6th and 12th centuries.</p><br>
<h2>Excavations</h2><br>
<p>In 1853, Austen Henry Layard explored the site in the frame of his general survey of the Khabur valley and two more surveys were conducted by Friedrich Sarre and Ernst Herzfeld in 1911 and by Antoine Poidebard in 1934 who provided maps of the sites. In 1977-1978, the site was studied by Wolfgang Röllig and Hartmut Kühne then by Jean-Yves Monchambert in 1983 and 1984. The Syrian plans to build Al-Basil dam on the Khabur threatened many archaeological sites; at the request of the Syrian Directorate-General of Antiquities and Museums, the St. Louis Community College formed a team headed by Michael and Neathery Fuller to evaluate the site in 1986. Excavations began in 1987, and the dam was completed in 1997 with further excavations depending on the rainfall. The site was last excavated in 2004.</p><br>
<p>Azim Khan&#39;s Tomb  is the tomb of Azim Khan, who was a general of the Mughal Army, located on a small hillock at Anuvrat Marg, Delhi-Gurgaon Road, in Delhi, India. The tomb was commissioned in 17th century. It is built in the typical square shaped structure with a crowned dome coated with plaster and decorated with carvings. After the Mughal period, during the British rule, the tomb was converted into a rcreational place for there late night party. The tomb is included into the lists of Indian Monuments of National Importance.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>There are not enough historic records about the general Azim Khan. He was a general in the Mughal Army, was established by the empire&#39;s third emperor, Akbar. He was awarded the title "Akbar" (meaning "magnificent") by Akbar himself.</p><br>
<p>Beach School is a historic building located northwest of Mount Vernon, Iowa, United States. Because school district lines had been redrawn, students in this area were forced to attend classes in a building some distance away. Given the condition of rural roads in the late 19th century, that created a hardship for many families. From 1889 to 1891 the school district set aside funds for a new building, and Benjamin Beach donated land on his farm for the new school. Not only was his farmhouse nearby, but Beach also operated a sawmill along the creek east of the school and a gristmill across the road. The one-room schoolhouse was completed in 1892, and a bell was purchased for the building around 1901. Early drawings of the building show a small bell tower. The building was used for educational and social use until 1946, and it has subsequently been converted into a rental home. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
