<p>Coggon Public School, also known as the Coggon Center, is a historic building located in Coggon, Iowa, United States. The chosen terminus for the community&#39;s Main Street in 1884 was its schoolhouse. A school building has remained on this property ever since. The 1890 school building was replaced by the first section of this building in 1909. Cedar Rapids architect R.R. Mayberry designed the two story brick structure with Neoclassical styling, and A.J. Bruce was the contractor who built it. Cedar Rapids architect W. Jay Brown designed a 1936 addition in an industrial style and Des Moines architect N. Clifford Prall designed a 1957 addition in the Modern style.</p><br>
<p>The school districts in Coggon, Troy Mills, and Walker were combined in 1965 to form the North Linn Community School District. Prior to the merger the Coggon School had housed all grade levels, and after the merger it served as an elementary school. In 2011 a bond issue passed that consolidated the district&#39;s elementary program in the existing middle and high school building in Central City. School operations in this building ceased that year. The building was acquired by the Coggon Area Betterment Association. It now houses retail and community service organizations in part of the building that is known as the Coggon Center. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<p>Julius&#39; Castle is a castle-shaped building that sits at 1541 Montgomery Street on Telegraph Hill in San Francisco. It served as a visual landmark and as a restaurant for many years, originally opening between 1924 and 1928. Since 1980, the building has been listed as a San Francisco Landmark Number 121. The architecture is described by the San Francisco Planning Department as, "primarily derived from the Gothic Revival and Arts & Crafts Styles".</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1886, the lot originally housed Michael Crowley’s two-story grocery store and later it was replaced with a family home which burned down in a fire in 1917. In 1923, Julius Roz (1869–1947) started the construction process with architect Luigi "Louis" Mastropasqua (1870–1951). The design of Julius Castle was to pay tribute to Laymans Wooden Castle (also known as Layman’s Folly) a former German-style castle building that was a tourist attraction on Telegraph Hill from 1882 to 1903. In the 1920s the castle was painted pink. It operated as a speakeasy for a time during Prohibition.</p><br>
<p>Julius Castle stayed open after Roz died in 1947. The interior was decorated in Victorian-era parlor style with views of the San Francisco Bay. It was very popular with celebrities, politicians and businessmen such as Robert Redford, Cary Grant, Sean Connery, Marlon Brando, Ginger Rogers, Sir Edmund Hillary, and the entire cast of the film The Empire Strikes Back. Julius Castle makes appearances in Dashiell Hametts novels. The 1951 film The House on Telegraph Hill was filmed at Julius Castle.</p><br>
<p>After a series of restaurant owners, Julius&#39; Castle closed in 2007. In 2017, the City of San Francisco approved the reopening of the restaurant.</p><br>
<p>The Snow Flake Motel was a motel located at 3822 Red Arrow Highway in Lincoln Township, Michigan. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006,</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In approximately 1958, Sahag Sarkisian approached Taliesin Associated Architects, a design firm headed by Frank Lloyd Wright, about designing a luxury motel at this location. One of Sarkisians personal friends had recently moved into a house designed by the Wright, and Sarkisian had decided to consult with Wright about the project. Although it is reported that Wright himself had some involvement in the initial plans for the motel, it is not clear to what extent, and the final contract between Sarkisian and Taliesin was signed in June 1960, after Wrights death. Wright&#39;s son-in-law and protege, William Wesley Peters, completed the plans for the hotel and delivered them in August of that year.</p><br>
<p>Construction on the motel began in 1961, and it opened in 1962. The motel, with its luxury amenities, was initially highly successful. However, Sarkisian was inexperienced in the hospitality business, and a series of personal tragedies caused him to lose interest in the property. The motel declined during the 1970s, and in 1979 Sarkisiansold it to William and Carlene Lymburner. The rehabilitated the hotel, selling it in 1986. The motel went through a number of subsequent owners, and by 1996 had morphed into the St. Joseph Inn which was intended to serve long-term residents. The motel was demolished on March 27, 2006.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Snow Flake Motel was a concrete block structure with a deeply corrugated metal roof, constructed in six V-shaped sections arranged like a six-pointed star around a central courtyard. The sections were connected with an open canopy trellis made of metal tubing arranged in a hexagonal pattern. Underneath the trellis was a paved surface that visually united the buildings. The motel contained 57 rooms, all facing the inner courtyard, with sliding glass doors opening onto patio spaces. Parking was along the outer perimeter. Each trapezoidal room had a small foyer entered from the outer perimeter, with a bath alongside. Beyond the foyer, the unit opened out into the bedroom, with a large open glass area facing the interior courtyard.</p><br>
<p>The central courtyard contained an axial series of pools, the swimming pool being at one end within one of the motel sections. The office extended outward from the same section (effectively turning it into a "Y" section rather than a "V" section). This section contained a lobby, manager&#39;s quarters, and a guest lounge, as well as a coffee shop, cocktail lounge, and banquet room.</p><br>
<p>The Lyman House is a historic house at 22 Woodland Street in Hartford, Connecticut. It was built in 1895 for Theodore Lyman, a prominent local lawyer and corporate director. Since 1925 it has been home to the Town and County Club, a private women&#39;s club. A well-preserved example of Classical Revival architecture, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Lyman House is located in Hartford&#39;s Asylum Hill neighborhood, west of downtown. It is on the east side of Woodland Street, north of its junction with Farmington Avenue. It is a three-story masonry structure, built out of yellow brick with stone trim. Its corners have stone quoining, and it is covered by a hip roof from which six chimneys project. The main facade is three bays wide, with the center one projecting. Its corners are also quoined, and it is topped by a gable. A semicircular portico with Doric columns projects further, sheltering the main entrance; above it is a three-part window on the second floor, and a Palladian window with half-round top above that.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1895 for Theodore Lyman, a prominent local lawyer. Lyman died in 1920, and the house was bought by the Town and County Club in 1925, after his widow died. The house was designed by the Hartford firm of Hapgood & Hapgood, cousins who executed a number of prominent regional landmarks and the Connecticut State Building at the 1904 St. Louis Exposition. The principal alteration to the building has been the addition of a large meeting space to the rear in 1929-30. The house is one of the few high-profile mansions to survive in Asylum Hill, a fashionable address for the city elite in the late 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The Timoney Stones are a collection of standing stones forming a National Monument in County Tipperary, Ireland.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The Timoney Stones are found in the hills 8 km southeast of Roscrea, on the old Timoney Park estate, near the border with County Laois.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>About 300 stones and five cairns were erected here, and a stone circle. Their origin is a mystery, some placing them in the Neolithic and others much more recently (the 19th century).</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>121 stones survive, of which 93 are standing and 28 have fallen. They are stcattered widely without any clear pattern, except for some in threes (a tall stone, a short stone and a slab), some in pairs (aligned N-S or E-W), and sixteen that form a stone circle 70 m across. The cairns have all been removed.</p><br>
<p>Pentwyn, Rockfield, Monmouthshire is a Victorian villa dating from the mid 19th century. Its origins are older but the present building was constructed by the Monmouth architect George Vaughan Maddox for himself in 1834–1837, and subsequently altered by him after a later sale. It was converted into apartments in the 20th century. The house is Grade II* listed.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Monmouthshire historian Sir Joseph Bradney records that the property was originally owned by the Vaughan family of Llanrothal. In 1834, James Vaughan left the house to his nephew George Vaughan Maddox. Maddox, from a family of architects, had a significant practice in Monmouthshire and his works in Monmouth gave the county town, "its particular architectural flavour". Maddox certainly undertook works at Pentwyn on his own behalf, and Bradney suggests he designed further improvements after selling the property to the Reverend Canon John Harding in 1864. However, Maddox died in that year and Cadw considers that most of the improvements and extensions to the house predate the sale. In the 20th century, the villa was converted into apartments.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and description</h2><br>
<p>The architectural historian John Newman describes the house as "Tudoresque" in style. Cadw prefers a description of Georgian Gothick. The house is of two storeys, with large attics above, and rendered in stucco. The interiors, which contain many original features, are similarly Gothick in design, with the exception of a large dining room dating from circa 1900. The building is Grade II* listed, on account of its architectural interest and its historic connections with George Vaughan Maddox.</p><br>
<p>Grant Vocational High School, also known as the Board of Education and the Cedar Rapids School District Central Office, is a historic building located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States. Completed in 1915, this is a rare example of a vocational high school in Iowa as only a handful were ever built. While it offered various student activities in athletics and the arts, its curriculum was based on the manual arts instead of humanities or college preparatory courses. A Progressive Era idea, vocational education began in Cedar Rapids in 1904. Within a year there was a call for a dedicated vocational high school. There was much debate as the local school district&#39;s regular high school was beyond capacity and there was a need for new elementary schools. Efforts to build the school began with the passage of a bond referendum in 1911. Cedar Rapids architect William J. Brown designed the three-story, brick Prairie School structure and it was built by the F.P. Gould Company of Omaha.</p><br>
<p>While the school started strong, it soon failed to live up to expectations as vocational education was expensive to operate and enrollment was voluntary. Because the building is not unlike a regular high school, it was converted to that purpose in 1924. In 1936 Cedar Rapids experienced another round of school construction and Grant was converted into an office building for the school district. It served that purpose until 2008. The building now houses commercial enterprises. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>Cedar Rapids Central Fire Station, also known as Cedar Rapids Hose Company No. 1 and the Cedar Rapids Science Station, is a historic building located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States. It served as the citys fire department headquarters and downtown fire station from 1918 to 1985. It replaced a frame structure in the northeast quadrant, and was part of a larger program of building new facilities for the local fire department. The building program was a response to a series of disastrous fires, changing technology, and the citys growth. This fire station served from the era of horse-drawn pumper wagons to the modern era of fire engines, pumpers, and hook and ladder trucks. The two-story, brick Mission and Spanish Colonial Revival structure was designed by local architect Charles A. Dieman. In the mid-20th century a two-story kitchen addition was built onto the back of the building.</p><br>
<p>After its use as a fire station the building was incorporated into a new science center in 2000. The interior of the building was damaged during flooding in 2008. The 1918 fire station was acquired by a downtown development corporation who plan to convert it into office space. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Zinc Collar Pad Company Building is an industrial building located at 304 S. Oak Street in Buchanan, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1870, Dexter Curtis invented a unique Zinc lined collar pad for horse harnesses, which prevented chafing of the horses neck and shoulders. That year, Curtis formed a partnership with George H. Richards and Henry Gilman to manufacture and market the pads under the name of ""Curtis, Gilman and Richards." The first pad was introduced in April 1870, and was an immediate success. The location of the companys original manufacturing facility is not recorded, but by 1871 what was now the "Zinc Collar Pad Company" was located in a space in a foundry on Red Bud Trail. The business continued to grow, and it was reported that in 1871-73, the company consumed over 400,000 of zinc. However, in September 1874 the building they were located in burned down.</p><br>
<p>The next month, the company responded by drawing up plans for this building, and in 1875 they constructed it in the heart of what was then Buchanans booming industrial center. The company operated out of this building for many years; however, in about 1884 Dexter Curtis set up the Dexter Curtis Company in Madison, Wisconsin to manufacture more pads. George Richards and his son Joseph also founded firms making other products (carpet stretchers and bicycle seats) and operated them out of this building. George Richards died in 1888, passing his share of the company to his son. In 1898, Curtis and Richards split, and Joseph Richards became sole owner of the firm in Buchanan. Joseph Richards died in 1906, and the firm passed to his sons, and by 1913 the firm outgrew the building, moving to a larger one on Buchanans Main Street. Production peaked in 1917-18 due to the demand for horse collars in World War I. However, after the war, business declined sharply, and the firm was defunct by 1927.</p><br>
<p>When the Zinc Collar Pad Company moved in 1913, the 1875 building was sold to a local partnership, Pears and Fuller. They converted the building into four apartments, adding large verandas to the south facade. It served as apartments for over 80 years, but in approximately 1998 became vacant.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Zinc Collar Pad Company Building is a two-story red brick building which has been substantially covered with stucco. It measures approximately 26 feet by 55 feet, with a single story extension to the south, measuring 16 feet by 18 feet. Large porches extend from the north and south sides. When constructed, the east facade was the primary facade, but the entrance was filled in when the building was converted in to apartments in 1914 and the north side became the primary facade. This side has a large veranda sheltering the entrances to apartments.</p><br>

<p>The Union Block, also known as Kinyons Block, Roes Block, or Pear&#39;s Block, is a commercial building located at 114 East Front Street in Buchanan, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Buchanan became the commercial center of the surrounding area in the 1840s, and the business district developed rapidly in the 1850s. In 1848, business partners Lorenzo Alexander and John Ross built a two-story stone commercial building in Buchanan, and in 1850 the pair established a general store. By 1860, the business partners had constructed a three-story brick commercial block, the Excelsior Block, in downtown Buchanan near this location. In 1862 Ross and Alexander started a second project, the Union block. However, in 1862 a devastating fire swept through the area, destroying an number of commercial buildings including the Excelsior Block, but fortunately sparing the partially built Union Block. The building was completed the next year.</p><br>
<p>The building was used for commercial businesses on the first floor and professional tenants on the second floor. The first commercial tenants were likely J.D. Ross&#39;s dry goods store and a second dry goods store owned by Ross and Alexander. Subsequent tenants included businesses selling dry goods, groceries, hardware and other items. One of the storefronts housed a succession of hardware stores for almost 100 years, from at least 1896 through 1994. Professional tenants on the second floor included doctors, barbers, lawyers, and others, but the last tenant departed in the 1940s. The third floor was originally a large hall, but at some point (perhaps as early as 1870) was divided into two spaces. These spaces were used for public events, including dances, socials, performances, and religious services.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Union Block is a three-story, brick Italianate commercial building containing two storefronts. The building measures 58 feet by 56 feet, and the roof gradually slopes from front to rear. The front facade has its original arched windows on the upper floors, and a cornice tops the facade. It is divided into two unequal storefronts - one three bays wide and one four bays wide - separated by a slightly projecting bay that originally had an open entryway leading to a stair accessing the upper floors. The storefronts were modernized in the 1950s, replacing the open entryway with a display window and combining the two storefronts into one, with a single recessed entrance.</p><br>
<p>The interior originally housed two separate stores with a wall and stair between them. The stores have been combined into one, the interior wall removed, and the stair repositioned to the rear. The second floor historically housed multiple offices, but the interior partitions have been reconfigured. The third floor was originally a single large, open space, but a center wall now separates the space into two portions, each of which contains a large open space at the front and smaller rooms at the rear.</p><br>
<p>The Mansuy and Smith Automobile Showroom Building is a historic commercial building at 38-42 Elm Street in Hartford, Connecticut. Built about 1900, it is an early example of an automobile showroom, used by a local carriage manufacturer seeking to transition to the new technology. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Mansuy and Smith Automobile Showroom Building is located on the north side of Elm Street, in a block of commercial buildings between Pulaski Circle and Main Street on the west side of downtown Hartford. It is a two-story brick building, joined via party walls to adjacent buildings. Its main facade is divided into three sections: on the ground floor, the right section has a garage bay opening, the left section has a large display window, and the center section has a window and pedestrian entrance. On the second floor, each section has two sash windows with cast stone sills and lintels. A stepped parapet rises above the center section.</p><br>
<p>The history of Mansuy and Smith begins in 1841, when Louis Mansuy began building carriages, and was by the third quarter of the 19th century one of Connecticuts most successful carriage makers. The company first produced a phaeton in 1896 for the Pope Manufacturing Company as a body for an electric car. Mansuys grandson, also named Louis, partnered in the early 20th century with Thomas Hammond Smith, an early car dealer to engage in the construction and sale of automobiles, and was engaged in the painting of automobiles on these premises as early as 1902. The business venture eventually failed in 1913. The present building appears to be a surviving remnant of a larger manufacturing premises, but with specific alterations to present the merchandise in a more attractive setting.</p><br>
<p>The Hotel America is a historic former hotel building at 5 Constitution Ave. on Constitution Plaza in Hartford, Connecticut. Built in 1964, it is believed to be the first building erected in the state as part of an urban redevelopment project, and is an important local early example of Modern architecture. Now the Spectra Boutique Apartments, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Hotel America building marks the eastern end of Constitution Plaza, a major 1960s development on the east side of Hartford&#39;s downtown. It is a twelve-story structure, built out of steel, concrete, and glass. Its main axis is oriented north-south, with the building passing over Kinsey Street on large steel I-beam trusses.</p><br>
<p>The Hartford Redevelopment Agency was founded in 1950, and Constitution Plaza was its first major project, designed to revitalize an urban slum area on Hartfords east side. The Hotel America building was designed by Curtis & Davis, a firm noted for its Modernist architecture, and was completed in 1964. The trusses carrying the building over Kinsey Street were the largest made to date in the state. The hotels branding changed several times over the years, named as a Sonesta, and in its later years, as a Clarion Hotel. The vacant building was acquired by developers in 2011 and converted into luxury apartments.</p><br>
<p>Diamond Creek Falls is a waterfall formed along Gibson Canyon on the north end of Willamette National Forest, east side of the city of Oakridge in Lane County, Oregon. Access to Diamond Creek Falls is located along Oregon Route 58 through trail paths that lead down to the stream and the base of the waterfall.</p><br>
<h2>Trail</h2><br>
<p>From the parking lot and to the left of the interpretive kiosk is the beginning of the 3.4 mi loop hike upstream of the waterfall on the Salt Creek Falls and Diamond Creek Falls trails. The Salt Creek Falls trail starts with a paved walkway along Salt Creek that leads to a picnic area. Past the picnic area is a bridge over Salt Creek that leads to a faint pathway where the trail divides. Following the right side at the junction leads to about 0.2 mi of a quick climb that ends in a wide view of the surrounding canyon. Past this viewpoint, the Diamond Creek Falls Trail continues for about 1.1 mi past Too Much Bear Lake and ends in a junction that leads to the waterfall, which has access to its base over basalt steps, fissures and boulders.</p><br>
<p>The Mather Homestead is a historic house at 2 Mahl Avenue in Hartford, Connecticut. Built about 1835, it is a rare surviving example of a 19th-century farmstead in the city. Its adaptive reuse over time is also indicative of the transformation of its surrounds by increasing urbanization. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It is now home to a chapter of Masons.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Mather Homestead is located in the Clay-Arsenal neighborhood on Hartford&#39;s north side, on the north side of Mahl Avenue just west of Main Street, the historic main road between downtown Hartford and Windsor.

All of the original structures still stand with the exception of the cookhouse and livery stable.</p><br>
<p>Sannō-Gakoi Site is a Jōmon period archaeological site in the city of Kurihara, Miyagi Prefecture, in the Tōhoku region of northern Japan. The site was designated a National Historic Site in 1991 by the Japanese government.</p><br>
<h2>Site</h2><br>
<p>The Sannō-Gakoi site is a large scale residential settlement from the Late Jōmon Period to the mid-Yayoi period, approximately 500 BC to 0 BC. Located only a half kilometer from the center of former Sanno town, the site is on a river terrace on the north bank of the Nakasaki River, which forms a natural fortification. The site is of especial interest to archaelogists, is a three-meter thick peat layer in the soil has preserved fragments of cloth from the Jōmon period, as well as examples of early lacquerware. Also uncovered in this stratum during the initial excavations in 1965 by Tohoku University were large numbers of nuts (walnuts, acorns, chestnuts) and animal bones, along with over 400 examples of pottery and more than a thousand stone tools and ornaments. These items are on display at a local history museum at the site, which also includes examples of reconstructed pit dwellings. In further investigations conducted from 1995 to 2006, pit dwelling site from the early Yayoi period were discovered.</p><br>
<p>Shimofunato 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 Ōfunato, Iwate Prefecture in the Tōhoku region of northern Japan. It has been protected by the central government as a National Historic Site. since 1934.</p><br>
<p>The rocky rias coast of Iwate 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. In particular, the deeply indented Ōfunato Bay area was a rich fishing ground and is the location of 16 known Jōmon-period shell middens, a number of which have been designated National Historic Sites.</p><br>
<p>The Shimofunato Shell Midden dates from the late Jōmon period, and is located at an elevation of between 20 and 30 meters above the present sea level, on the east side of Ōfunato Bay. The midden, which has a thickness of between 0.6 and 1.2 meters, was first excavated between 1924-1925 and again in 1961, and many artifacts were recovered, including clay Dogū and large quantities of pottery shards. The remains of two adult humans and one child were also found.</p><br>
<p>Ōhora 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 Ōfunato, Iwate Prefecture in the Tōhoku region of northern Japan.

<p>The Ōhora Shell Midden dates from the late Jōmon period, and is located at an elevation of 31 meters above the present sea level, on a small peninsula on the east side of the bay. The midden consists of two separate groups of mounds, which were first excavated in 1925 by the Tohoku Imperial University and again in 2002. The type of pottery found at this site was of a type widely distributed throughout the Tōhoku region and into southern Hokkaido. The shell middens are between a grouping of kofun to the east and the remains of a residential area to the west, which is in turn surrounded by more shell middens on its far side, indicating a very long period of residency. In some cases, the middens were over one meter in thickness. The contents was overwhelmingly shellfish; however, bones from Sitka deer, wild boar, and numerous species of fish and birds were also discovered. Carved bone implements, such as fishhooks and harpoons, spoons and other artifacts were also discovered.</p><br>
<p>Takonoura 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 Ōfunato, Iwate 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 rias coast of Iwate 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. In particular, the deeply indented Ōfunato Bay area was a rich fishing ground and is the location of 16 known Jomon-period shell middens, a number of which have been designated National Historic Sites.</p><br>
<p>The Takonoura Shell Midden dates from the early to middle Jōmon period, and is located on a hill on the east side of the Ōfunato Bay. It was partially excavated in 1957 by Waseda University. The midden is annuar, but truncated to the east and southweast, and has a thickness of over two meters. An unusual feature is that some layers consist almost exclusively of a certain type of artifact (for example, only oyster shells, or only fish bones, etc). However, in general, the midden has a typically mixed composition including many varieties of shellfish, fish bones, and the bones of mammals such as dogs, Sitka deer, whales, wolves and dolphins. In addition, stone axes, weights, and carved bone objects, such as fishhooks, and bone jewelry have been found. The site also contains traces of dwelling foundations and eight sets of human remains.</p><br>
<p>Lake Puyallup developed along the south edge of the Puget Sound Glacier. The glacier was in retreat northward after having reached it’s most southerly point. Drainage off the north face of Mount Rainier and the melting ice of the glacier was trapped in the valley of the Puyallup River. As the glacier moved north, the lake grew until it reached its largest size with the glacier at the glacial front across the Puyallup valley just south of Commencement Bay at Tacoma and northern bend of the White River at Auburn. When the ice retreated further north, it was reduced in depth and volume and takes on the name of Lake Tacoma.</p><br>
<h2>The Ohop Channel</h2><br>
<p>Lake Puyallup initial drain was south through the Ohop channel. The Ohop served as the drain for the Carbon and Puyallup rivers to the Nisqually. The divide between the future north flowing rivers and the Nisqually was Lake Kapowsin at 595 ft above sea level. From Lake Kapowsin, the valley of Ohop Creek, through Ohop Lake to the Nisqually.</p><br>
<p>The pass between the Puyallup River and Lake Kapowsin is 500 ft wide and 340 ft deep. At Eatonville, it is 200 ft deep and perhaps 2,000 ft wide. Between the pass and Eatonville, the valley descends about 14 ft to the mile (0.6 km). Beyond Eastonville the grade is about 10 ft to the mile (0.6 km).</p><br>
<p>The west side of the Puyallup trough stands about 550 ft above sea level south of Orting to a 3 miles north. West of this was the low land draining towards Lake Russell, thus blocking this westward drain. This remained the outflow until the glacier retreated further north, opening a new lower channel at Clover Creek.</p><br>
<p>The Myers and Gross Building is a historic apartment building at 2 Fraser Place in Hartford, Connecticut. Built in 1917, it is a well-preserved example of Georgian Revival architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Myers and Gross Building is located in Hartford&#39;s west side Asylum Hill neighborhood, at the junction Myrtle Street and Fraser Place. It is a three-story masonry structure, built out of yellow brick with stone trim. It has a curved facade, with one entrance at the street corner and a second further along Fraser Place. The bays housing the entrances are wide, with single-leaf doors flanked by panels inside an opening trimmed with stone pilasters and entablature. Above the entrances are a three-part window on the second floor, and a three-part Palladian window in the third floor. Windows in the other bays are set in groups of one to three, topped by splayed lintels with keystones. The cornice is dentillated and decorated with egg-and-dart moulding.</p><br>
<p>The building was built in 1917, a time when the Asylum Hill neighborhood had ceased to be the city&#39;s fashionable upper-class area, and was becoming more middle class and commercial. The building is located close to what were at the time the headquarters of several major insurance companies.</p><br>
<p>Hinodeyama Tile Kiln Site is an archaeological site consisting of the remains of seven Nara period kilns located in what is now the city of Shikama, Miyagi Prefecture in the Tōhoku region of northern Japan. It is protected by the central government as a National Historic Site.</p><br>
<p>As the Yamato government extended its control over Mutsu Province in the 8th Century AD, a number of fortified administrative centers and Buddhist temples were built in the area centered on Taga Castle. One feature of the buildings in these structures was the use of tiled roofs, which was a symbol of continental culture and the advanced state of the central administration. The Hinodeyama Kilns are one of several which have been found within what is now Miyagi Prefecture. These kilns were located in hilly land, near the sources of clay and fuel for the kilns; however, from the design patterns on shards found at the site, it can be determined that the tiles from the Hinodeyama kilns were used at Taga Castle, 40 kilometers to the south, among other areas.</p><br>
<p>There are seven kilns at the site, six of which were used for roof tile production, and one of which was used to make Sue pottery. The kilns are built underground into the slope of a hill, and are a stepless form of the traditional anagama kiln. Each has a length of approximately five meters and a width and height of one meter. Shards found at the location indicate that cylindrical, curved and flat tiles were all produced.</p><br>
<p>The Swiss Cottage, Rockfield, Monmouthshire is a gatehouse to The Hendre estate and was designed by Sir Aston Webb in 1905. It is a Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>The Hendre was the country home of the Rolls family since the 18th century and, as the fortunes of the family rose, was subject to three major expansions in the 19th and 20th centuries, to the designs of George Vaughan Maddox, then Thomas Henry Wyatt, and finally Aston Webb. Webb constructed the Cedar Library at the main mansion in the very late 19th century and in 1905 designed the Swiss Cottage. The architectural historian John Newman described the cottage as "a sweet little thing but not particularly Swiss".</p><br>
<p>The cottage is single-storeyed, with a dormer above, and is constructed of old red sandstone. Cadw notes influences from Lutyens and Voysey.</p><br>
<p>The Dovecote, Hygga, Trellech, Monmouthshire is a late 16th-century dovecote, in an unusually complete state of preservation. Part of the service buildings for the, now demolished, Hygga House, the dovecote is a Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>The origin of the name Hygga is Old Norse, meaning "to comfort". In the 16th century, a substantial mansion stood on the site but has since been demolished. The dovecote, along with some large barns, comprised a range of service buildings for the house. In a poor state of repair for over two centuries, the dovecote was fully restored in the 1980s and now forms a rare example of a complete 16th-century dovecote.</p><br>
<p>The dovecote is constructed of limewashed stone rubble, with a "stone-slated conical roof". Unusually for a dovecote, it has windows with ovolo mullions. Above the windows are six tiers of nesting boxes, set into the wall. The dovecote is a Grade II* listed building, its listing recording the dovecote as a "particularly fine and complete example".</p><br>
<p>Pant-glas Farmhouse and its associated barn at Llanishen, Trellech, Monmouthshire date from the early 16th and 17th centuries respectively and are both Grade II* listed buildings.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>The Monmouthshire antiquarian Sir Joseph Bradney records Pant-glas as the historic home of the Probert family, landowners and High Sheriffs of Monmouthshire. The earliest datable elements of the house are the cellars, from the late 15th or early 16th century. The existing main block of the house is from the early 17th century, while the barn is thought to have been built later in that century. Although of a construction date of 1590 to 1620, the house uses much material of earlier dates, including medieval stonework and an Elizabethan doorcase and the architectural historian John Newman notes the suggestion that some of the masonry came from Raglan Castle, 4 miles to the west of Pant-glas. The complex building history leads Newman to call the house a "fascinating puzzle" and Cadw notes its construction is open to "several possible interpretations".</p><br>
<p>From the mid-17th century the house was let, the Proberts having built a new mansion, The Argoed at Penallt. The barn is most likely of this date, although it could be slightly earlier. The farmhouse and barn remain private residences.</p><br>
<p>The house is tall and constructed of "well-cut" old red sandstone. The interior has been extensively remodelled but still contains some early features, including a late-medieval fireplace.</p><br>
<p>The barn is "unusually large" and mostly unaltered, except for the roof skylights. The house and the barn have separate Grade II* listed building designations.</p><br>
<p>Buyan Island in the Don River is located near the Bagaevskaya settlement in Rostov Oblast, Russia.</p><br>
<p>Local population tells the legend about the Cossack leader Stepan Razin who buried his Persian treasure in 1669-1670 on this island. However, the island appears on the military maps of the Russian Empire, only in the 19th century under different names: Uglovatyi (Angular), Buyinyi (stormy), Buyan. There is no island marked on the maps of the 18th century and this fact causes doubt on the presence of Persian gold at the settlement of Bagaevskaya. The Buyan Island was eventually washed with sand and silt, increasing in size at downstream.</p><br>
<p>It is covered with dense vegetation, has several sandy estuaries used for swimming, due to its location and is almost always suitable for recreational fishing. The island is stretched along the course of the Don river in the form of an irregular pointed triangle with its base at the upstream and a sharp top near the modern (2017) ferry crossing. The Bagaevskaya settlement and the Buyan Island are divided by the Donok channel (a river arm) which was the main navigable waterway of the Don River until the 20th century. After the construction of the Tsimlyanskaya dam, the spills practically ceased, the river near the village has shallowed, and in the second half of the 20th century navigation on the Don River became impossible, the former Uglovatyi (Angular) river arm became the modern navigable channel of the Don. There are two bridges: a "Cast-iron” bridge for pedestrians and a "Concrete" bridge, constructed in Soviet times for cars.</p><br>
<p>There are the remains of the river pier on the Don side of the island that was functioning until 2008 accepting passenger ships as well. At the pier, there is a rarely working cafe with a bizarre architecture named "At Umar’s".</p><br>
<p>In 1913, a large robbery of the steamship "Peter" owned by the Rostov magnates Paramonovs took place near the island. The study of teachers of the history of the Bagaev school № 3 Alexander Shaporenko and Alexander Samsonov assumes the probability of flooding of stolen silver near the island in the amount of up to 163,8 kilograms (361.11 pounds). It is relevant to call the Buyan Island as a treasure island thanks to the legend about the treasure of Stepan Razin and the flooded silver of merchants Paramonovs. In 1941-1942, the defense line of the Workers and Peasants Red Army was built on the island, however it was, never used by the Soviet troops. The enemy broke through the defense of Soviet troops in July 1942 in the north-east side from the Island.</p><br>
<p>Mathern Mill, Mathern, Monmouthshire is a watermill dating from either the late 18th or early 19th centuries. It continued in use as a functioning mill until 1968. Retaining much of its 19th century mill workings, it is now open to the public on an occasional basis. It is a Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>A mill may have stood on the site since before the 18th century, British Listed Buildings Online suggesting a medieval origin, but the current building appears to date from the very late part of the 18th century or the early 19th century. The brick range facing the road is of c.1840. The mill was little altered from this time until its closure in 1968, and only minor modifications have been made since that date.</p><br>
<p>Of two ranges, the brick-fronted narrower range is of three-storeys and served as the engine house. The secondary range, set back from the road contained the miller&#39;s house on the left, and the mill room to the right. Cadw suggests that the main mill-working machinery is intact and in situ, but the interior was not inspected during the re-surveying of the building in October 2000. A Grade II* listed building, its listing describes it as "a large and fine early C19 watermill on an historic site, which is believed to retain much of its machinery".</p><br>
<p>The mill is privately owned but opens occasionally. As of September 2016, its owners were planning to re-open the mill as a working operation in 2017.</p><br>
<p>The Wendell P. and Harriet Rounds Robbins House is a private house located at 680 Pipestone Street in Benton Harbor, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Wendell Phillips Robbins was born in 1849 in Harwich, Massachusetts. He worked as a clerk in a dry goods store for two years; then moved to Benton Harbor in 1869, only three years after the village had been established. There, he worked for his older brother Nathaniel as a shipping clerk for a few years. In the early 1870s, Wendell purchased an interest in the Robbins & Eldredge lumber yard, which had been established by Nathaniel Robbins and a brother-in-law, Barzilla B. Eldredge. The firm was later reorganized as Eldredge & Robbins, but in 1894, Wendell Robbins assumed full ownership of the lumber yard.</p><br>
<p>In 1873, Wendell Robbins married Harriet Rounds. Harriet Rounds was born in Stoney Point, Jefferson County, New York in 1854, and had arrived in Benton Harbor in about 1866. The couple had this house constructed in 1897. Wendell Robbins continued in the lumber business and lived in this house until his retirement in 1920. He died the next year; Harriet Rounds Robbins died in 1924. The house stayed in the family until 1941, when the Robbins&#39; daughter Grace died. It was restored in the 1990s.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Robbins House is a two-and-one-half-story wooden Queen Anne/Shingle style building with a combination of hip and gable roofs. The exterior is covered primarily in clapboard, with shingling on the gable ends and portions of the front facade. The broad front facade is asymmetrical, with an octagonal tower at one end and a hip roof round-ended extension at the other. The entrance is in the center, sheltered with a single story veranda. A porte cochere is attached to the house near the extension. Fluted Tuscan columns support both the veranda and the porte cochere.</p><br>
<p>The interior contains extensive stained wood trim, with art glass or leaded glass transoms over the windows. The first floor contains an entry foyer that leads to a larger central foyer. The central foyer provides access to the upstairs, as well as a living room and den. The dining room, kitchen, and pantry are located behind the living room, and a library is located near the den. The second floor contains a master suite with office and bathroom, two additional bedrooms, a bath, and a play area. The third floor contains a family room, bar area, poker room, bathroom and storage rooms.</p><br>
<p>Rabbitkettle Hot Springs is a naturally occurring hot spring located in the Northwest Territories of Canada. The springs are found in the Nahanni National Park Reserve, along the South Nahanni River. Rabbitkettle Hot Springs are situated on a limestone plateau and comprise two large tufa mounds. At 20 m high and 70 m in diameter, the free-standing North Mound is the largest tufa mound in Canada. The South Mound has grown into a nearby hillside and is not as tall. They are the only tufa mounds in the world known to be located on permafrost.</p><br>
<p>The name Rabbitkettle comes from the Dene word gahnhthah, meaning "kettle". The translation was adopted by English-speaking locals as "Rabbitkettle", from the peculiar shapes of the basins in the area. The springs were considered a sacred place to the Dene, who left offerings such as tobacco to ensure good fortune.</p><br>
<h2>Formation</h2><br>
<p>The water in the springs originates from a fault in the limestone plateau, and the mechanics of piping pseudokarst draw hot water from nearly deep in the earth upwards through the fault.</p><br>
<p>The water emerges in a central pool at the top of the mound and flows downward through a terrace of surrounding pools. The travertine walls of these pools can be as tall as 30 cm, and range in color from gray to off-white. The spring water is rich in dissolved minerals from the limestone, such as calcium carbonate. These minerals are deposited on any surface the water flows over, gradually coating it and forming tufa structures known as rimstone dams and gours. Eventually, the older pools begin to fill with deposited minerals, which causes the water to spill over the edges and form new pools.</p><br>
<p>The pools were formed after the end of the last glacial period, some 10,000 years ago, when the continental ice caps retreated.</p><br>
<h2>Visitors</h2><br>
<p>Due to the fragile nature of the tufa structures, tourists are only permitted to visit the hot springs with guided tours run by park staff. Visitors must remove their shoes and walk barefoot on a prescribed path to get close to the North Mound.</p><br>
<p>The cave dwellings of Ahlat  are hundreds of caves located in Ahlat district of Bitlis Province, eastern Turkey, which were used as dwellings in the prehistory.</p><br>
<p>There are about 500–600 caves located in various parts of Ahlat, around southwest. Generally, they are situated in two main canyons, at Madavans Creek in Madavansans Canyon, at Harabeşehir Creek in Harabeşehir Canyon, and Sultan Seyit Creek, Kırklar Valley, at Gaban Creek Valley around Yuvadamı village and Harabe Hulik village. The area was declared a first-grade archaeologicat site. However, the caves are private property. Currently, they are used as storage of potato and food because they remain cool in the summer months and warm in the winter season.</p><br>
<p>It is assumed by scientists that "the caves were used from the Neolithic Age on as Ahlat was one of the first populated places in Anatolia. The severe earthquakes that have taken place in the region, the need for settlement in wetlands due to drought, destruction of settlements after war and invasions, and severe climatic conditions have influenced the emergence of cave settlements." Archaeological surveys revealed that the group of cave dwellings includes the earliest example of a Buddhist temple in Anatolia.</p><br>
<p>In 2013, the local authority started a study for a project to open the area to tourism. Titled "Ecotourism Project for Harabeşehir area", the investment of around 450 million (approx. US$ 14 million) features the establishment of observation hills, bungalows for resting, housing areas, walking tracks, cafeterias, restaurants and lodging center.</p><br>
<p>The Niles Downtown Historic District is a commercial historic district located in Niles, Michigan along Sycamore, Main and Cedar Streets between Front and 5th. The districts was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>This location served as the commercial center of Niles since the 1820s, when the area was ceded by the Odawa to the United States. A few settlers soon arrived, and in 1828 Obed P. Lacey and Samuel B. Walling opened the first store at this location. The first portion of Niles was platted the following year, including the downtown area. The Chicago Road between Detroit and Chicago was completed through the area in 1832/33, and its location only a few miles south of Niles served to bring settlers into the area. By 1835, Niles had several hundred residents and a village government was established; by 1840, the population was 1200. The earliest buildings in Niles were of log construction, but these soon gave way to frame buildings. These buildings were subsequently replaced, and the only surviving early frame building from the downtown area is the 1843 Paine Bank, which was originally located at the corner of Main and Third, but was later moved outside the district.</p><br>
<p>Railroad service to Niles began in 1850, causing a surge in population and commerce in the village. The village became a city in 1859, and by 1860 the population was over 2700. In the commercial district, solid rows of buildings extended along Main from the river nearly to Third Street, with more buildings along Front and Second near Main. Brick buildings in the 100 and 200 block of Main, constructed before 1860, still stand in the district. Niles grew only slowly through the 1870s, 80s, and 90s, and the extent of the commercial section in 1895 was little larger than it was in 1870. Only in the late 1890s did new development extend all the way to Third.</p><br>
<p>Although a new Carnegie library and post office were constructed in the first decade of the 20th, century, almost no commercial buildings were constructed until after World War I. During the 1920s, a number of old buildings were replaced, and nearly every other older building underwent a storefront modernization. At the same time, the commercial district in Niles expanded, with newer buildings farther up Main Street. However, the Great Depression intervened, and almost nothing was done in the area until after World War II. Beginning in the late 1940s, a number of new buildings were constructed, and other storefronts were modernized with aluminum and porcelain enamel metal finishes.</p><br>
<p>However, by the 1950s, new business development was taking place on the outskirts of the city, and the city turned to an urban renewal agenda for the downtown. A number of plans were proposed, and eventually, in 1971, a section along Front Street was razed to make way for a new shopping center. After some false starts, the center was built in 1984. However, by this time, the newly established Downtown Development Authority was advocating for renovation, and by the 2000s, facade renovations projects were underway in the district, resulting in a stretch of historically appropriate facades along Main Street.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Niles Downtown Historic District extends along a four-block section of Main Street, and generally includes the first block of the side streets to either side of Main. The district contains 86 buildings. The buildings are predominantly two- and three-story commercial structures, with some one- and four-story buildings. Seven buildins at the edges of the district were built as private houses; most of these have been converted to commercial purposes. Buildings date from the 1850s to the 1960s, in styles ranging from Greek Revival and Italianate to 1950s and 60s modern. The oldest buildings in the district, dating from the 1850s and early 1860s, are of brick construction and are located along Main between Front and Third as well as on adjacent portions of Front and Second.</p><br>
<p>The Cave monastery of İnceğiz  is a cave monastery formed by carving a rocky cliff located in İnceğiz village of Çatalca district in Istanbul Province, northwestern Turkey.</p><br>
<p>İnceğiz village is located about northwest of Çatalca. The cave monastery is situated at Karasu Valley overlooking Karasu Creek. It is a four-story apartment building of rock-cut architecture. The structure was cut out in limestone formation, which has a suitable lithography for easy forming. The site in the cliff is accessible by a wooden staircase on the trail. The openings of the cliff dwelling are barred by chains.</p><br>
<p>Initially, the four stories were interconnected. However, due to erosion and earthquakes, some parts of the structure collapsed, and so some of the connections are broken. The first floor contains three rooms. The staircase inside the structure leading from the first floor to the upper floors has broken down while only few steps below the second floor are intact. The second floor is accessible from outside. On the second floor, there is a church measuring with a large crucifix relief on the wall. The dome of the cross-formed room is in diameter. The third floor contains three rooms including two large ones. On the fourth floor, there is a residence room of size and a chapel.</p><br>
<p>The cave monastery has been known since the 1950s. It is assumed that it was heavily used by Christians for a while. It is likely that the place was inhabited from the 4th century until the end of the 12th century, and was used as a Byzantine monastery. However, archaeological excavations carried out between 1992 and 1995 revealed that the area was settled even much earlier.</p><br>
<p>The Lakeside Inn is a historic hotel located at 15251 Lakeshore Road in Lakeside, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>This area was first settled in 1844 by Vermont natives Alfred and Mary Ames, who purchased property that included the present site of the Lakeside Inn. A small settlement was established nearby in 1846; when the Chicago and Michigan Lake Shore Railroad was constructed in the late 1870s, a station was built at the site, then called Lakeside. By the end of the 19th century, the location around what is now the inn was a popular recreational spot. The site across the road, Ames Grove, was owned by Alfred and Mary Ames&#39;s son Fisher Ames, and was used for picnics and other local gatherings. At the same time, the area began to attract summer vacationers, and local families began taking boarders and building small resorts.</p><br>
<p>In 1901, John J. and Nancy E. Aylsworth purchased several tracts of land at Lakeside, including the property on which this inn now stands. The construction date of the inn is not documented, but was probably in the early 1910s for the Aylsworths. Along with the inn, several cottages were constructed. John Aylsworth died in December 1917; two years later Nancy Aylsworth transferred the inn to their son Arthur and his wife Grace. At about that time, a substantial addition was constructed on the inn. In 1922, the inn was turned over to the Lakeside Property Owners Trust, a local developer trust tasked with fostering appropriate development and keep out undesirables. The inn remained under Arthur Aylsworth&#39;s management, and in 1930 golf, tennis, and swimming facilities were added, and the inn was renamed the Lakeside Park Country Club, and membership was required. Although not explicitly stated, it is likely that these changes were instituted to prohibit Jews from patronizing the inn.</p><br>
<p>Arthur and Grace Aylsworth divorced in 1930, and Arthur re-purchased the inn from the trust. He continued to operate with his second wife Virginia until Virginia&#39;s death in 1953 and his in 1955. The inn declined over the next decade, until 1968 when it was purchased by John and Kay Wilson. Wilson converted the inn into the "Lakeside Center for the Arts," running his print business in part of the downstairs and taking in artists from across the country. In 1994 Devereux Bowly purchased the inn and completely refurbished it, reopening it as a hotel in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Lakeside Inn is a 2-1/2 story, broad fronted, side gabled wood frame structure sited on a low rise overlooking Lake Michigan. It is covered with clapboard. A pair of cross gables face the lake, as does an open shed-roof veranda which extends across the entire facade. Shed roof dormers penetrate the roof. The exterior possesses a simple Arts-and-Crafts finish, including exposed rafter ends on the eaves.</p><br>
<p>The interior contains a lobby on the first floor, with a large cobblestone fireplace. Off the lobby are a dining room/ballroom, lounge, and bar area. Two guest rooms are on the first floor, with the remainder on the second and third floors.</p><br>
<p>The Fidelity Building is an office building located at 162 Pipestone Street in Benton Harbor, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. As of 2017, the building contains apartments known as the Meetinghouse at Fidelity.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Benton Harbor Development Company was organized in 1905 to entice business to establish in the city. The efforts of the organization brought a number of small manufacturers to Benton Harbor, and coupled with the upswing in tourism and the local fruit orchards, helped the city to prosperity in the first decades of the twentieth century. In 1926, the eight-story Hotel Vincent was constructed in downtown Benton Harbor. The next year, the Bradford-Bowlby Real Estate Company constructed a companion office building, the Fidelity Building.</p><br>
<p>Both the Vincent and the Fidelity Building were designed by architect Charles W. Nichol. The Fidelity was constructed by M.W. Stock & Sons Construction Company at a cost of $256,000. The adjacent streets were widened to accommodate the increased traffic, and other buildings were constructed nearby over the next few years. Early occupants of the building included the Fidelity Health & Accident Insurance Company (the namesake of the building) the Michigan Fruit Growers&#39; Association, and the Chamber of Commerce.</p><br>
<p>However, beginning in the 1960s, downtown Benton Harbor languished, and businesses began closing or moving. The Fidelity Building was shuttered in 1976,</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Fidelity Building is a six story Renaissance Revival reinforced concrete building with a brick veneer. It is roughly triangular in footprint, and has seven-bay-wide facades on both Pipestone and Michigan Streets. The facades merge in a curved corner portion at the intersection. The primary entrance to the upper floors is through a center entrance on Michigan Street; a secondary entrance is along Pipestone. The remainder of the street level facade contains a series of glass storefronts. Above, the second floor contains Chicago windows, with a large central pane flanked by narrow double hung windows. The upper floors have one-over-one double-hung windows. The facade is topped with a metal cornice.</p><br>
<p>Stellenbosch Mountain  is a mountain forming a prominent landmark overlooking the town of Stellenbosch in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. The mountain forms part of the Coetsenburg Estate, the Jonkershoek Nature Reserve, the Assegaaibosch Nature Reserve and the larger Hottentots-Holland Mountains Catchment Area.</p><br>

<p>The peak of Stellenbosch Mountain is 1,156m. The source of the Blaauwklippen (Blouklip) River is near the peak. The range is primarily composed of Table Mountain Sandstone. The climate is typically Mediterranean; warm and temperate, classified as Csb by the Köppen-Geiger system. However, it is generally much cooler and more verdant than other areas in the Western Cape, with annual precipitation at 802mm and an average temperature of 16.4 °C. In winter, there is much more rainfall than in summer. Snow is not unusual on the peak during winter. The Hottentots Holland Mountains, of which the Stellenbosch Mountain is a peak, are considered the hub of the Cape floristic region with the most biodiversity in the entire fynbos biome. The surrounding lowlands have rich alluvial soils supporting viticulture and other deciduous fruit farms.</p><br>
<h2>Wildlife</h2><br>
<p>The Jonkershoek Mountains, of which Stellenbosch Mountain is a peak, are home to Leopards, Caracals, Klipspringer, Baboons, Honey Badgers and Mongooses, however, all but the baboons are very secretive. Birdlife includes Kingfishers, Black Eagles, Fish Eagles, Spotted Eagle Owls, Sugarbirds, Orange-breasted Sunbirds and Protea Seed-eaters.</p><br>

<p>Upper Dyffryn House, Grosmont, Monmouthshire is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century. It was built by John Gainsford, Sheriff of Monmouthshire in 1604. The farmhouse is Grade II* listed as are the dairy and kitchen which stand a little way from the main building.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>The farmhouse was constructed in the very early 17th century, Cadw recording that the builder was almost certainly John Gainsford, who served as Sheriff in 1604. Both the exterior and the interior have been little altered subsequently. Its construction date is "probably contemporary" or slightly later than the farmhouse.</p><br>
<p>The architectural historian John Newman describes Upper Dyffryn as a "tall early 17th century farmhouse". It is two storeys high, with attics above, and constructed of Old Red Sandstone rubble. It has a stair turret and tall chimney stacks, representing "a considerable advance in layout". The dairy is also of two storeys and of rubble construction and has a "fine ovolo moulded doorway with ornate shaped door-head".</p><br>
<p>Both the farmhouse and the dairy remain in private ownership and have separate Grade II* listed building designations.</p><br>
<p>The Bee Shelter, Hartpury, Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire is a 19th-century bee shelter. It is a Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>The bee shelter was originally located in Nailsworth and was moved to the grounds of Hartpury College in 1968, before being relocated to the churchyard of St Mary&#39;s Church in 2002. Until the late 20th century, the beehive shelter was believed to date from the early 17th century and that it functioned as a beehive rack. Recent research has confirmed that it was constructed in the 19th century as a bee shelter by the stonemason Paul Tuffley, a member of a prominent Gloucestershire family of masons, stone merchants and quarrymasters. The date can be confirmed by the stone tooling marks on the shelter, which are "typically Victorian" and by the reference made to the shelter in a deed dating from 1852.</p><br>
<p>The shelter is 7.3m long and 2.1m high, and comprises three tiers of shelving separated by pilasters. The structure is elaborately decorated.</p><br>
<p>The Buchanan Downtown Historic District is a primarily commercial historic district located in Buchanan, Michigan between 117 W. and 256 E. Front Street and between 108 and 210-212 Main Street, along with adjacent sections of Oak Street and Days Avenue. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Buchanan was first settled in 1833 by Charles Cowles, who constructed a sawmill near this site. Other settlers followed, and by 1842, when Buchanan was first platted, there were about twelve buildings in or near the village. The completion of the Michigan Central Railroad through the area in 1849 resulted in a boom in development. Although not well documented, early commercial development occurred near the intersection of Front and Main Streets, with a number of stores along Front by 1860. A devastating 1862 fire leveled much of the downtown, but the fire triggered subsequent building boom in the 1860s, with a number of buildings constructed on lots where the previous structure had been destroyed in the fire. A smaller boom followed in the 1880s.</p><br>
<p>By the end of the 19th century, the downtown area was essentially built out, and construction slowed for some time. Between about 1895 and 1954, only 17 structures were built in the district; all but two of these replaced earlier, primarily wood frame, buildings. By the 1950s, however, development had shifted to areas outside of the downtown, and Buchanan, like many smaller towns, experienced a commercial slump in the downtown area. Starting in the 1960s, a number of buildings were demolished. Newer buildings were constructed, but the pace of revitalization was slow.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Buchanan Downtown Historic District encompasses almost the entirety of Buchanan&#39;s commercial center. The district contains 40 buildings, along with a millrace, culvert, and alley. The buildings range from one to three stories tall, and date from 1855 to 1966. All the buildings in the district are constructed of brick with three exceptions: the Pears Mill, the 1855 Conant-Parkinson Building at 111 Main, and another commercial building on Front Street. The main section of the district is along Front Street, which features all of the large commercial blocks in the downtown area.</p><br>
<p>Significant buildings in the district include:</p><br>
<p>United States Post Office (1940). Located at 110 W. Front Street, this single story brick Colonial Revival building was designed by Louis A. Simon.</p><br>
<p>Buchanan Public Library - now Buchanan Art Center (1956). Located at 117 W. Front Street, this modern building was designed by Roy A. Warden.</p><br>
<p>Ross-Sanders House- Old City Hall (1856). Located at 107 W. Front Street, this two-story, T-plan, painted brick Greek Revival house was built for John D. Ross, who bought the property on which this building sits from Buchanan pioneer John Hamilton. It was Buchanan&#39;s first brick home.</p><br>
<p>Union Block (1863). Located at 114 E. Front Street, this three-story, double-storefront, painted brick Italianate building was listed on the National Historic Register in 2007.</p><br>
<p>Mill Alley (Dedicated 1856). Located at 116 E. Front Street, this alley was established to provide access to Pears Mill. In 1914, the Princess Theater was built over the alley, closing it until the Princess was demolished in 1991.</p><br>
<p>Pears Millrace (c. 1848). This millrace runs for about a half mile through the district. John D. Ross had this race dug in about 1848, presumably in part to serve an early mill near its course which is no longer extant.</p><br>
<p>Pears Mill (1857-58). Located at 115 S. Oak Street, this two-story wood framed gable roofed structure was built directly on the already extant millrace. It is the only remaining mill of the 13 or so mills constructed near Buchanan&#39;s downtown.</p><br>
<p>The Gatehouse and attached range, at the St Pierre Hotel, St Pierre, Mathern, Monmouthshire are the most significant remains of the mansion built by the Lewis family in the late 15th century and owned by them until 1924. The original house was built by William Lewis, and extended by his son George, between 1475 and 1508. After the Lewises sold up, the house had a variety of owners and was converted to the clubhouse of a golf club in 1962. It has since been massively extended as a hotel and country club. The gatehouse and range have Grade II* listed building status.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The origin of the family after whom the hamlet of St Pierre is named are unclear, but it is now thought to be of Welsh derivation, rather than Norman. William Lewis, the founder of the mansion at St Pierre, descended from Sir David ap Philip and was the first to adopt Lewis as his surname. who died in 1508. The last member of the family to own the estate was Air Commodore Freke William Wiseman-Clark, who died without issue in 1908. After his death, his executors sold the mansion and estate to Daniel Lysaght, the Newport steel magnate.</p><br>
<p>After Lysaght&#39;s death in 1940, and the requisitioning of the house during the Second World War to house refugee children from Bristol, the mansion became the headquarters of the National Association of Boys Clubs. Hando records a visit in 1958 when the estate covered 150 acres. In 1962 the mansion was sold to a Tintern hotelier, who converted it into a clubhouse and laid out a golf course in the grounds. It is now a hotel and country club.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and description</h2><br>
<p>The mansion stands in very close proximity to the church of St Peter. Built of sandstone rubble with Bath Stone dressings, most of the building dates from the mid 19th century or later. The architectural historian John Newman describes the gatehouse as "the most impressive feature" of the mansion and it, and the attached range, are almost the only remaining medieval work. The gatehouse is of three storeys, is constructed of local limestone and has "handsomely battlemented turrets". The upper storeys of the attached range were reconstructed in the 19th century. Newman notes that the house has undergone such significant alteration through its conversion to a hotel that "its historic character has been almost overwhelmed". The gatehouse and range are listed Grade II*.</p><br>

<p>The Blackstock Residence at 217 W. Towne in Glendive, Montana is a historic house that was built sometime between 1905 and 1910. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>A review in 1987 asserted "It is an excellent example of a pattern book box style house with hip roof, hip roof dormers, clapboard siding with end boards, and architectural detail such as large extending eaves with raking cornice, decorative brackets under the eaves, wood shingle dormer siding. Only minor alterations, such as removal of porch roof railing detracts from integrity of structure."</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register as part of a study of multiple historic resources in Glendive which also listed several others.</p><br>

<p>Biryuchyi Island  is a spit  in the northwestern part of the Azov Sea, expanded southern part of the Fedotova Spit. Together with the narrow northern part of the Fedotova Spit, Biryuchyi Island forms the Utljuk Lyman separating it from the sea from the east. Until 1929, the current Spit was an island, separated from the northern part of the Fedotova Spit by a narrow strait.</p><br>
<p>It belongs to Kherson Oblast of Ukraine. It has no direct land connection with the main territory of the Oblast — they are separated by the Utljuk Lyman.</p><br>
<p>Its length is about 11 nautical miles, the width is about 3 nautical miles, and its area is 27.92 square miles. On the northwestern and western shores of the Spit, there are several shallow bays and estuaries. Small vessels most often enter the bays of the southwestern edge of the Spit (Rybatska and Mayachna bays). Along the western and northwestern shore of the Spit, there is a large shoal, which is less than 5 meters deep.</p><br>
<h2>Nature</h2><br>
<p>The spit is of alluvial type, formed of sand and coquina (sandy coastal plain with occurring shell bars). Along the coast, there are numerous lakes. Several small saline lakes and a large lake, Lake Olen, extend along the northern shore.</p><br>
<p>There are meadow, coastal water and sand-steppe landscapes. The flora includes about 700 species of plants. In the 1970s-80s, on the area of 232 hectares, there were planted shelter forests, consisting of elaeagnus angustifolia, ulmus laevis, robinia pseudoacacia, fraxinus excelsior. It is a habitat for about a thousand of acclimatized red deer, 2500 fallow deer, 90 onagers and several dozens of domestic horses and moufflons; acclimatized birds are pheasants.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the first millennium BC, the vicinity of Biryuchyi Island was inhabited by the Royal Scythians. Probably, this was the very spit depicted on some Scythian coins.</p><br>

<p>The Buchanan North and West Neighborhoods Historic District is a residential historic district located in Buchanan, Michigan and roughly bounded by Main, 4th, Chippewa, West Front, South Detroit, Chicago, Clark, Roe, and Charles Streets. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Buchanan was first settled by Charles Cowles in 1833. Cowles constructed a sawmill near here. By 1841, there were four cabins, a gristmill, a sawmill and a distillery in the area, and in 1842 mill operator John Hamilton platted the village of Buchanan. Early development is not well documented, but a number of mills were built in Buchanan, drawing in workers. In 1843, a frame school was built within what is now this historic district. In 1849, the United Brethren Church (still extant) was constructed within the district, and the next year the first Presbyterian church followed.</p><br>
<p>Following the arrival of the Michigan Central Railroad in 1849, development boomed. Manufacturing facilities within Buchanan grew quickly, increasing the need for workers and new homes, most of which were located within this district. The village was incorporated in 1858 with 860 people; population had doubled by 1860. By 1878, the village population had increased to 2,300 people, who lived in 463 private homes.</p><br>
<p>In 1905, the company that would eventually become the Clark Equipment Company moved to Buchanan, employing about 30 people. By the end of World War I, the number had increased to over 800 employees. The 1910s saw a correspondingly large growth in the housing stock in the district, and in 1922 the Buchanan High School was constructed at the southern edge of the district. In 1929, the company&#39;s total employment was near 1,300 people. Although there was a slowdown during the Great Depression, the last lots in the district were nearly filled in the 1940-49 period.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
