<p>Lydeard House in Bishops Lydeard, Somerset, England was built in the mid 18th century. It is a Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Lydeard House was built in the mid 18th century. It has been enlarged several times.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The red sandstone building has limestone dressings and a slate roof. The main block has five bays with the stables set back from the main house and were only joined in the mid 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The gardens have been restored since 1999 including the dredging of the lake and erection of pergolas. The gardens are now open to the public occasionally as part of the National Gardens Scheme.</p><br>
<p>A raised garden at the rear of the house is enclosed by a Hindu-Moorish style red sandstone wall. The other walls and gate piers are also of red sandstone.</p><br>
<p>A footbridge over the stream 20 m east of the house has three stone arches and wrought iron decoration.</p><br>
<p>The Königsberg is a 568-metre-high hill in the collective municipality of Lauterecken-Wolfstein in the county of Kusel in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Königsberg lies between the Lauter and Talbach streams and is part of the North Palatine Uplands. It is one of the highest hills in the county of Kusel.</p><br>
<p>The Konigsberg massif measures about 5 kilometres from north to south and abou 4 kilometres from east to west. Its two main summits are the Leienberg (524 m) and Hahnenkopf (535 m). To the south is the 546-metre-high Selberg.</p><br>
<p>The nearest villages are Wolfstein, Reckweilerhof, Aschbach, Hinzweiler, Oberweiler im Tal, Eßweiler and Rutsweiler an der Lauter.</p><br>
<h2>Flora and Fauna</h2><br>
<p>The summit of the Konigsberg is almost entirely wooded; only on the lower slopes, especially in the west between Eßweiler and Oberweiler in the valley and in the northwest between Hinzweiler and Aschbach, are large areas turned over to agriculture. In Wolfstein, on a southern hillside below the castle of New Wolfstein, wine is grown.</p><br>
<p>The woods are predominantly a mix of beech and oak, individual areas are covered in spruce. One unusual feature may be seen on the Leienberg: the hillside above the Taufenbach valley is almost entirely covered in scree. Apart from individual bushes, only crooked oak and pine trees grow, barely higher than a man.</p><br>
<p>Due to the very varied landscape around the Konigsberg, there is a rich variety of fauna. Among the larger mammals are wild boar, roe deer, red fox and badger. Some time ago, mouflon lived here. There are sightings and clues of wildcats, but they are no longer clearly identifiable as resident.</p><br>
<p>In the area around the Konigsberg are the usual, native birds, but they are not obviously limited by the boundaries of the Konigsberg region. The black woodpecker is resident in the Königsberg. There are indications of Eurasian eagle-owl, but they are not definitive. Along the Talbach stream live kingfishers and grey herons; the red kite is also seen here</p><br>
<p>The Königsberg is designated as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC No. 6411-302, area 1,047 ha).</p><br>
<h2>Leisure options and sights</h2><br>
<p>There is a multitude of tracks in the Königsberg that are suitable for walking. That said, the routes are not straightforward, because the ascent from the valleys is very steep. There is a spectacular view of Wolfstein at the Dreimärker which stands almost 300 metres above the village and close to the summit of the Königsberg. There are several chalets on the Königsberg, some of which are managed by local hiking clubs:</p><br>
<p>The Hinzweiler Hut, by a pond in the Taufen valley between Königsberg and Leienberg. Managed in summer on Sundays and public holidays.</p><br>
<p>The Laufhauser Weiher (pond) with its barbecue hut.</p><br>
<p>The CJVM Hut, also a barbecue hut.</p><br>
<p>The Rutsweiler Hut of the Palatine Forest Club, managed on Sundays.</p><br>
<p>The hut of the Eßweiler Local History and Transport Society (Heimat- und Verkehrsverein Eßweiler), managed on Sundays.</p><br>
<p>In addition there are simple refuge huts along the trails.</p><br>
<p>In 2010 the Palatine Ridgeway opened, running from Winnweiler over the Donnersberg and the Königsberg to Wolfstein. Parts of the old West Palatinate Way ran through the Königsberg.</p><br>
<p>By the youth hostel above Wolfstein begins the Nordic Walking trail of Königsland: 3 waymarked routes run over the Königsberg and Selberg. On the saddle between the Konigsberg and Selberg lies the airfield of the Luftsportvereins Eßweiler.</p><br>
<h3>Sights</h3><br>
<p>There are 3 castles on the Königsberg: in the west, on a spur above the Talbach, lie the ruins of the Sprengelburg. On the eastern hillside above the town of Wolfstein are the two castles of Old Wolfstein and New Wolfstein.</p><br>
<p>Between Rutsweiler on the Lauter and Wolfstein stands the double church, the last remains of an abandoned village. In Wolfstein lies the entrance to the Kalkbergwerk am Königsberg. At the summit near the Kreuzfeld are the remains of the Schwerspat Mine.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>A Roman road once ran over the heights of the Konigsberg from the area of Kaiserslautern to Lauterecken.</p><br>

<p>The Benedict Doll House is a private house located at 665 West Chicago Street in Coldwater, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Benedict Doll moved from Toledo, Ohio to Coldwater in 1894 and purchased the brewery which was formerly located near the site of this house. The Doll family initially lived in the brewery, but by 1899 the family had grown to six children. Profits from the brewery had also grown, and that year Doll had this house constructed. The family moved in in January 1900.</p><br>
<p>Coldwater voted to become a dry city in 1909, putting the brewery out of business. Doll turned to selling ice, and also operated a rubbish-removal service. As automotive traffic increased along the Chicago Road, Doll and his children opened a gas station, and later a restaurant near the brewery. Benedict Doll continued to live in this house until his death in 1941. His wife continued to live in the house until her death in 1955, and some of the couple&#39;s children occupied the house until it was sold out of the family in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Benedict Doll House is a 2-1/2 story wood frame Eastlake house with a cross-gable-and-hip roof covered with metal tiles. The house stands on a cut fieldstone foundation and is covered with clapboards below the gables, which are covered with shingling on the front and sides. The front of the house is spanned with a long porch with turned posts and spindlework. A smaller second floor porch is above the entryway.</p><br>
<p>On the interior, the front entry leads into a stair hall. A parlor is located off the hall, and a narrow corridor leads back to the kitchen. A living room is also located on the first floor; both the parlor and living room are finished with dark stained wood trim. A large modern large kitchen/family room area has been incorporated into the rear of the house. On the second floor, a hallway runs through the center of the house, and the bedrooms open to either side.</p><br>

<p>The Centenary Avenue is one of the oldest historic districts in Cleveland, Tennessee. It is bounded by Eighteenth, Harle, Thirteenth and Ocoee Streets and is regarded as one of the widest streets in Cleveland. The homes there were built from 1850-1949.</p><br>
<p>Added to the city’s historic registry in 1993, the private residences on Centenary Avenue are built in Tudor Revival, Bungalow/Craftsman and Colonial Revival architectural styles.</p><br>
<h2>Home of Tall Betsy</h2><br>
<p>The Centenary district received national attention from 1980 to 1998 when a house owned by businessman Allan Jones located at 150 Centenary Avenue NW became the site of Halloween appearances by the famous Tall Betsy goblin that stands more than 7 feet, 6 inches tall.</p><br>
<p>Centenary Avenue is mentioned in a famous poem about Tall Betsy and in a state resolution adopted on May 24, 1989 honoring Tall Betsy as the “official Halloween Goblin of Bradley County.” The historic district was also featured in a 2011 documentary about Tall Betsy that aired on PBS and NBC and won a prestigious Telly Award in 2013. It was narrated by Lynn Hoffman, host of A&E’s popular “Private Sessions.”</p><br>
<p>The residential areas within the district achieved their maturity before 1900, though Sycamore has grown considerably from the 3,330 or so that lived there from about 1900 until the 1970s most of the historic district remains intact as it was organized in 1978.</p><br>
<p>Tall Betsy was started in 1980 by Jones, who at the time was a single parent raising his daughter Courtney and living at the Centenary residence. Jones had heard his mother, Gincy Slaughter Jones, tell stories of Tall Betsy as he was a child growing up at 480 21st Street NW in Cleveland, TN.</p><br>
<p>According to Jones, who later became known as “Mr. Halloween,” the real Tall Betsy was a very tall woman who walked the streets of Cleveland, TN in the early 1920s. She always wore black and was referred to by the townspeople as Tall Betsy, Black Betsy, and the Lady in Black.</p><br>
<p>Tall Betsy first appeared in Cleveland’s Johnston Park downtown for an afternoon event on Halloween day, 1980. Jones&#39; mother was hosting a party for Courtney at the Centenary Avenue home before the kids went out trick-or-treating. Jones left Johnston Park and got a friend in a pickup truck to allow him to lay in the back and deliver him to the party at 150 Centenary Avenue. Jones appeared in the backyard and scared the kids, who were the first to see Tall Betsy. As they left to go down the street trick-or-treating, Tall Betsy walked in front of the Jones house and stood waiting for young trick-or-treaters.</p><br>
<p>As Tall Betsy became popular across Tennessee and eventually nationwide, thousands came to Jones&#39; door each year and thousands more simply drove by the Centenary home.</p><br>
<p>The goblin became so popular that in 1986, Jones organized the downtown Halloween Block Party that included games, costume contests and treats. The event was intended to draw the crowds off of Centenary Avenue after 8 p.m.</p><br>
<p>In 1993 the Jones house kept count and set a world record of 11,201 pieces of bubble gum given away one at a time to young kids coming to the Centenary Avenue home from 5 to 8p.m.</p><br>
<p>After drawing a crowd of 25,000 in 1998, Jones retired Tall Betsy and moved away from Centenary Avenue. The goblin was said to have vanished forever to a mausoleum at Cleveland’s Fort Hill Cemetery.</p><br>
<h2>Appearance of New Tall Betsy on Centenary in 2016</h2><br>
<p>On Oct. 31, 2016 a new version of the Tall Betsy goblin appeared at the famous address for the first time in 18 years. The appearance drew national attention. The new Tall Betsy was created by Jones’ son, Bailey and had an updated look.</p><br>
<p>“Tall Betsy has fans worldwide, but Cleveland is where the legend started and we wanted to do something to honor this city and the generations who witnessed the original goblin,” Allan Jones told the Cleveland Daily Banner. “The new Tall Betsy looks and feels like a real person. We took the goblin to the next level of spookiness.”</p><br>
<p>The new look for Tall Betsy was created by Hollywood Mask Masters in Van Nuys, Calif., using real human hair. The face and hands were intended for a big-budget Hollywood film that never finished completion.</p><br>
<p>Tahquitz Falls is a waterfall on Tahquitz River in the west skirt of the city Palm Springs, in the USA state of California. The waterfall is located in lower Tahquitz Canyon, a short distance upstream from the Visitor Center. The name of the canyon and its waterfall is from a Cahuilla native of the Agua Caliente folklore.</p><br>
<p>The river flows over a slab of granite atop the falls, after which it plunges about 60 ft into a pool. The fall is split once by a protrusion on the face of the canyon wall. The Tahquitz Falls is in the boundaries included in the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>The falls are easily reached by proceeding upstream along the Tahquitz Canyon Trail. The trail gains approximately 350 feet in altitude and runs past the waterfall forming a loop that returns back to the waterfall and to the Visitor Center. The canyon and its trail are owned and managed by the Agua Calientes Band of Cahuilla Indians.</p><br>
<h2>In popular culture</h2><br>
<p>The Tahquitz Falls were used as a scene in Frank Capra&#39;s 1937 film, Lost Horizon.</p><br>
<p>The Lamar-Calder House is a historic house on a former Southern plantation in Richmond, Texas, USA.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The land originally belonged to Jane Herbert Wilkinson Long, until it was passed on to Mirabeau B. Lamar, who built the Lamar Plantation. Lamar lived in another house which was later destroyed.</p><br>
<p>A new house was built in 1859-1861. It was designed in the Greek Revival architectural style. Lamar never lived in the house, as it was completed after his death, but his widow Henrietta Maffitt did. Their daughter Loretto Evalina and her husband, S. D. Calder, the son of public official Robert J. Calder, lived in the house with their four children until they sold it in 1900. The house was owned by the Hendee family from 1908 to 1996. It later belonged to Felix Tijerina&#39;s son.</p><br>
<p>The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since March 30, 2005.</p><br>
<p>Kangri Garpo is a mountain range in eastern Tibet, located primarily in Nyingchi Prefecture as well as a portion of Qamdo Prefecture in the Tibet Autonomous Region, China. The mountain range lies to the east of the Himalayas and to the west of the Hengduan Mountains. The mountains are geographically a southern extension of the eastern Transhimalayas.</p><br>
<h2>Physical geography and climate</h2><br>
<p>The Kangri Garpo stretch for approximately from west to east. The distinction between the Kangri Garpo and the Mishmi Hills is not well defined, and may only represent a difference of cultures on either on either side of the McMahon Line.</p><br>
<p>The highest peak of the Kangri Garpo, Bairiga or Ruoni, rises in the central portion of the range to an elevation of above sea level. Other notable peaks include Gemsongu at, Kone Kangri at, Yuhe Kangri at, and Gheni at.</p><br>
<p>The Kangri Garpo form a high-altitude barrier at the northeastern-most limit of the Indian subcontinent. The mountains here are in the direct path of the northeast-moving South Asian monsoon which leads to Kangri Garpo being the wettest location on the Tibetan Plateau. This also leads to one of the highest concentrations of glaciers in the region. Notable glaciers include the scenic Midiu Glacier, the Ata Glacier (the lowest glacier in Tibet reaching an elevation of ), and the -long Lhagu Glacier.</p><br>
<p>Due to the heavy precipitation in the area, the Kangri Garpo support dense forests including the Northeastern Himalayan subalpine conifer forests at middle altitudes and Eastern Himalayan broadleaf forests at lower altitudes. At higher altitudes, the mountains are covered by Eastern Himalayan alpine shrub and meadows.</p><br>
<h2>Human geography</h2><br>
<p>The Kangri Garpo lie in the southeast part of Tibet, at the junction between Kham to the east, Ü-Tsang to the west, and South Asian hill tribes to the south. The Tibetan Poyul Kingdom enjoyed relative independence on the Kangri Garpo&#39;s northern slopes until the early 20th century.</p><br>
<p>In the 21st century, the western Kangri Garpo are under the administration of Bomê County to the north and Mêdog County to the south. The bulk of the eastern Kangri Garpo are part of Zayü County while a small portion of the north-central Kangri Garpo are part of Baxoi County. All these counties are part of Nyingchi Prefecture, except for Baxoi which is part of Qamdo Prefecture. To the south of the Kangri Garpo are the Mishmi Hills which lie primarily in Arunachal Pradesh, India but are also claimed by China. The McMahon Line passes just south of the Kangri Garpo.</p><br>
<p>The only significant towns in the mountain range are Zhamo in the north, Rawu in the northeast, and Zayü in the southeast. The only vehicular road to cross the Kangri Garpo is the road to Mêdog via Galong Pass in the western part of the mountains that was completed in 2013. The northern portion of the Kangri Garpo are skirted by China National Highway 318 and have become a popular scenic destination for Chinese tourists. Access to this region of Tibet, however, is often restricted for foreigners.</p><br>

<p>It was deemed "significant in architecture as a fine example of a building built to be a bank and commercial structure during the early 20th-century</p><br>
<p>Neoclassical era" including that it "exemplifies the strong, secured look that bankers sought in their turn-of-the-century buildings, obviously to stress the strength</p><br>
<p>of their institution" and that it "is also a good and relatively early use of poured reinforced concrete construction in a small Georgia town." It was deemed "significant in commerce as a good example of the development of a small-town pre-Depression banking and commercial institution in the early 20th century."</p><br>
<p>The C. W. Deen House, at 413 N. Main St. in Baxley in Appling County, Georgia, was built during 1894–1897. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>

<p>Part of its significance is for its association with C.W. Deen, "the leading landowner and businessman in Appling County in the early years of</p><br>
<p>the twentieth century" and "a major naval stores operator at a time when south Georgia led the world as a producer of naval stores". It is also significant as a center of social life in Baxley when W. Hughes Rogers and his wife Carrie Rogers, co-founder of the Baxley Women&#39;s Club, lived there.</p><br>
<p>Atherton House also known as the Faxon Atherton Mansion is a historic building in San Francisco, California, United States.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in 1881-1882 and in the Queen Anne architecture style with horizontal lines, a clipped gable. and a short tower. It was constructed for Dominga de Goñi Atherton, after the death of her husband Faxon Dean Atherton. She was the mother-in-law of novelist Gertrude Atherton, who wrote about the house in her memoirs. The architect is suspected of being John Marquis. It has also been reported that the Moore Brothers designed it, though other accounts indicate that Moore Brothers were the initial builders. Newspaper articles about the house when the housewarming was held in 1882 described it as picturesque, but appearing to be a relic of an earlier time. The reporter also noted that the height of the rooms created a claustrophobic effect on visitors. Possibly in answer to the comments, Dominga hired Charles Lee Tilden to improve the house.</p><br>
<p>The house is reportedly haunted and is featured on ghost tours. As of printing the house is currently subdivided into many apartments.</p><br>
<p>The style of the house has been described as both "eclectic" and "bizarre".</p><br>
<p>Kamikoshiki Island is the second largest island in the Koshikijima Islands. Its coasts are washed by East China Sea. The island&#39;s highest peak is Mount Tomekiyama 423 m high.</p><br>
<h3>Settlements and administrative units</h3><br>
<p>Kamikoshiki, Kagoshima</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The island`s mountains are generally raising directly from the sea, with the very small coastal plains. Terrain is rugged, although not to the same degree as on nearby Shimokoshiki-jima. The north-eastern coast features a 5-km long sandspit enclosing three shallow lagoons. The population is concentrated in extreme east of island in the placed on low sandspit 1400 by 250 metres large, being the largest settlement of Japan ever built on the sandspit.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The island was inhabited from the Jōmon period and have an important archaeological sites. It was inhabited by Satsuma Hayato people during Nara period. The first Japanese fortifications on island were built during Jōkyū War in 1221. The island was belonging to Christian domain during Nanboku trade period and islanders has participated in the Shimabara rebellion of 1638. The Kamikoshiki-jima has suffered from the same string of epidemics, famine and typhoon-related damage as nearby Shimokoshiki-jima in 19th and 20th centuries, resulting in significant emigration and population decline which peaked at 11166 men in 1950.</p><br>
<h2>Transportation</h2><br>
<p>The Kamikoshiki-jima&#39; is connected to Nakakoshiki-jima and planned to be eventually connected to Shimokoshiki-jima, but the bridge and two connecting tunnels at Nakakoshiki-jima were progressing slowly since project start in 2006.</p><br>
<p>A ferry lines also connect the Kamikoshiki-jima to the Shimokoshiki-jima island and to the Ichikikushikino city on Kyushu mainland, the latter offering two daily round-trips.</p><br>
<p>Inside island, the transportation is provided by public buses operating four routes.</p><br>
<p>The Rhine leaves that part of Lake Constance known as the Upper Lake or Obersee as the Seerhein near Konstanz. After six kilometres it forms the Rheinsee, through which the river current flows. At its outflow is the island of Werd with its Franciscan monastery. The Rheinsee, together with the Zeller See and the Gnadensee, which surround the island of Reichenau, form the Untersee. The latter, together with the Seerhein, are considered part of Lake Constance.</p><br>
<p>In the specialist literature, however, it is also stated that the Rhine leaves Lake Constance at Konstanz. According to this proposition, the Untersee would be a separate lake. The Rheinsee forms the international border between Switzerland and Germany.</p><br>
<p>The eastern part of the Rheinsee is the Bay of Ermatigen (Ermatinger Bucht). The greatest depth of the Rheinsee, 45 metres, is simultaneously the deepest point of the entire Untersee.</p><br>
<p>At the outflow of the Rheinsee lies Stein am Rhein, a little town situated on either side of the river.</p><br>
<p>Chan Hol, part of the Toh ha cave system, is a cenote and submerged cave system in Quintana Roo, Mexico, of interest to paleoanthropologists. The remains of two prehistoric human fossils were discovered within the cave system. Along with Eve of Naharon, Naia, the Man of El Templo and the, the two fossils at Chan Hol are among several ancient Paleoamerican skeletons found in the submerged cave systems of the Yucatán Peninsula around Tulum, Quintana Roo.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Chan Hol is derived from Mayan, meaning "little hole". The Chan Hol cave system extends over 5,000 m in length. The entrance, via the cenote, is located around 15 km away from Tulum and around 11.5 km from the modern coastline. As the sea level was over 100 m lower than it is today, the cave system was dry during the Late Pleistocene. During the Late Pleistocene, the Yucatán region was likely composed of dry savanna, grassland and even desert.</p><br>
<h2>Human fossils</h2><br>
<p>The skeletons of two ancient Paleoamericans were discovered within the Chan Hol cave system. Both skeletons exhibit sinodont dental morphology.</p><br>

<p>The first fossil, Chan Hol I, was discovered in 2006 by Alexandra and Thorsten Kampe at a location in the cave system around 530 m northeast of the cenote entrance, at a depth of around 8 m underwater. Nicknamed El Joven, the fossil is dated to around 9194-8792 BP. The skeleton had fossilized while the cave system was still dry. The skeleton shows evidence of intentional placement of the dead body.</p><br>
<h3>Chan Hol II</h3><br>
<p>The second fossil, Chan Hol II, was discovered in 2009 by Harry Gust at a location in the cave system around 1,240 m southwest of the cenote entrance, at a depth of around 8.5 m underwater. In February 2012, photos of the skeleton spread on social media. In March 2012, the site was vandalized and looted. Most of the skeletal remains, including the skull, were stolen. In October 2012, researchers collected the leftover fossil fragments from the site. Although Chan Hol II was given the nickname La Niña, later osteological analysis shows that the remains likely belonged to a young male. The fossil is dated to around 11,311 BP. The individual had died while the cave system was still dry.</p><br>
<p>The Thompson Falls Womens Club, which has also been known as the Rinard House, at 210 Jefferson St. in Thompson Falls in Sanders County, Montana, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The building is significant for its association with the women&#39;s club which was founded in 1914.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-story wood frame building with a log and stone exterior. It was built in 1910 as a three-room house, and it was home for Leonard Rinard, an attorney who was County Clerk and Recorder, until he sold it in 1914. It was acquired by the Women&#39;s Club in 1928.</p><br>
<p>The Woman&#39;s Club originally convened at the home of M.V. Brown, its president. It was reorganized in 1921 "as a non-sectarian and</p><br>
<p>non-political organization, where women in Thompson Falls &#39;can come and discuss issues and measures with the purpose of benefitting every</p><br>
<p>man, woman and child in the community.&#39; Together with other organizations the club organized a child welfare clinic in 1922. It helped organize a community bathhouse, a community swimming pool, and the Sanders County Historical Library.</p><br>
<p>Tonaknock Cross is a high cross and National Monument located in County Kerry, Ireland.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Tonaknock Cross is located on the Ardfert–Lixnaw road.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Tonaknock Abbey, a collegiate church of the Canons Regular, was established here in the 7th century; the cross was probably erected between then and the 9th century and represents an early stage in the development of the Irish high cross. Local legend says the south arm was broken by a cannonball during the 16th century Desmond Rebellions. It was found buried in a field and was re-erected.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The cross is 3.2 m high and only decoration seems to be small incised circles on the west head and face. It is believed to date from the 9th century.</p><br>
<p>Hikoshima  is an island on the south-west tip of Honshu, Japan.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The island is irregularly shaped and hilly. The strait as narrow as 40 m separates the island form the mainland Honshu. The parts of sprawling city of Shimonoseki occupy the most of the island, making it the most populous minor island in Yamaguchi Prefecture, albeit only 6th by area.</p><br>
<h2>Transportation</h2><br>
<p>The island is connected to the Japanese mainland of Honshu by three bridges, one above ship lock. Kanmon RailwayTunnel connects island to Kyushu, but San&#39;yō Main Line has no stop-overs on island, nearby station being the Shimonoseki Station in the downtown area. Also, bridge connection exist to the small 竹の子島 on the north-western tip of the Hikoshima.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The island was inhabited since prehistory, as evidenced by petroglyphs found in 1918. Following the Battle of Dan-no-ura, the refugees from the Taira clan has migrated to island and set the basis for the local agriculture. The island was an important site of Shimonoseki Campaign in 1863-1864 when it was much feared the island would become the Japanese variant of Hong Kong. The island industrialization began in 1924 with the building of ammonium sulphate plant with German license in 1924. Currently island is heavily populated and industrialized, including shipyard and titanium&zinc smelter.</p><br>

<p>Grotta dell&#39;Artiglieria  is a Karst cave in the municipality of Doberdò del Lago . The cave is located NE of Doberdob Lake, near the top of a small hill, in the small village of Jamiano. The name is referred to the artillery battery set in the cave during World War I.</p><br>
<h2>Morphology</h2><br>
<p>Grotta dellArtiglieria opens 187 m above sea level. Overall, it is 95.9 m long and 42.5 m deep. The cave is made up of three main rooms, connected by small pits. The entrance is vertical and leads to the first room. On the left side of this cavern, a 10 m pit leads to the second room. An other small pit, made up of collapsed bedrocks, leads to the last room, thats the biggest one. This room is full of cave formations and declines subhorizontally until the deepest part of the cave.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The cave entrance is located in the vicinity of a panoramic viewpoint, whence it is possible to observe most of the Gorizia Karst, including Doberdob Lake. Because of its location, during World War I, Austro-Hungarian Army used the first part of the cave as an observation post and placed an artillery battery in it. Italian Army also used the cavity when occupied the area. Still now, the remains of a small plaque dedicated to an Italian Artillery Regiment can be seen next to the entrance.</p><br>
<h2>Fauna</h2><br>
<p>In the last decades, the cave was known to be the refuge of an important bat colony, including some hundred specimens. Bat species are the common bent-wing bat Miniopterus schreibersiii and the Mediterranean horseshoe bat Rhinolophus euryale. Recently, the colony has strongly decreased and, at certain periods of the year, is completely absent. A fair amount of individuals (about 30) has just been observed between September and October, that&#39;s the breeding season immediately prior to hibernation. Why colony has decreased and where individuals move throughout the year are still unknown.</p><br>
<p>Bat colony causes an huge amount of bat guano to accumulate in the innermost part of the cave. A large invertebrate community developed using guano as primary food source. Invertebrates are cave dwelling species typical of the Karst area. Troglobites include woodlouses Alpioniscus strasseri and Androniscus stygius, and the round fungus beetle Bathysciotes khevenhulleri tergestinus. Troglophiles include the spiders Nesticus eremita and Troglohyphantes excavatus, the cave cricket Troglophilus neglectus, the cricket Gryllomorpha dalmatina, the moth Scoliopteryx libatrix, the fly Limonia nubeculosa and a unidentified phorid fly species, the ground beetles Laemostenus cavicola and Laemostenus elongatus, and the rove beetle Atheta spelaea.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. Wilson Foskett Home and Drugstore are a house and commercial building located on the west side of River Rd. in White Bird, Idaho. The pair of buildings was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<p>The house, built in 1902, is Queen Anne in style. It was expanded to the rear sometime during 1914-1918. The drugstore building is a one-part commercial block building built between 1910 and 1914. It was located about 70 ft to the south of the house, but was moved in 1926 to be adjacent and attached to the house, with a passage cut between the two.</p><br>
<p>Wilson Abner Foskett married Loris Taylor in November 1902 and moved into the just-completed new home. Foskett became a pharmacist to be able to provide medicines to his patients. Foster died in a car accident in April 1924, likely having fallen asleep while driving, as he returned from delivering a baby at a patient&#39;s home.</p><br>
<p>Drake Peak is an 8,399 ft summit of the Warner Mountains in Lake County, Oregon in the United States. It is located in the Fremont National Forest. The mountain is named in honor of Lieutenant Colonel John M. Drake, a Union Army officer who served in both the 1st Oregon Cavalry and the 1st Oregon Infantry regiments during the American Civil War.</p><br>
<h2>Lookout</h2><br>
<p>The Drake Peak lookout is located about a mile west of Drake Peak on neighboring Light Peak, at an elevation of 8,222 ft above sea level. The lookout is a L-4 Aladdin ground cabin, built in 1948. Visitors can drive to the lookout. From there, they can hike across the saddle between the two peaks and then climb to the top of Drake Peak.</p><br>
<h2>Environment</h2><br>
<p>The north slope of Drake Peak is covered by a ponderosa pine forest while low sagebrush dominates the rockier southern slope. Some areas also have quaking aspen and several fir species. Local wild flowers include bitterroot, aster, goldenweed, and penstemon.</p><br>
<p>The habitats around Drake Peak supports a variety of large mammal species including mule deer, Rocky Mountain elk, pronghorn, American black bear, bobcats, and mountain lions. Common birds in the sky around Drake Peak include prairie falcons, golden eagles, and bald eagles.</p><br>
<p>Comemerson Crater is a caldera in the mountains of Réunion, an overseas department of France. Located in the municipal territory of Saint-Joseph, it is part of the Piton de la Fournaise, a shield volcano on the eastern end of Réunion Island, but is located outside of the Enclos Fouqué, the volcano&#39;s most recent caldera.</p><br>
<p>The caldera was named in honor of Philibert Commerson, a French explorer.</p><br>
<h2>Climate</h2><br>
<p>Due to its elevated position, Commerson Crater receives considerable amounts of rainfall, especially during tropical storms. During Cyclone Hyacinthe in January 1980, it received 6,433 mm of rainfall in 15 days, the most precipitation dropped by a tropical cyclone in a single location. The second greatest amount of rainfall in a single tropical cyclone also occurred in Commerson Crater, when Cyclone Gamede dropped 5,512 mm of rain in 2007. Nowhere else has received even 3,500 mm of rainfall from a single tropical cyclone.</p><br>
<p>The Cobbler’s Cottage is a ca-1870 historic cottage in the United States National Historic Landmark District – Beaufort Historic District. The Cobbler’s Cottage is a contributing property, of the Beaufort Historic District making the cottage a recognized member of the “National Register of Historic Places”. The Cobbler’s Cottage is located at Block 66, Lot C, 713 Charles Street, Beaufort, South Carolina.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The city of Beaufort, SC was chartered in 1711 with the streets and blocks established along a bluff of the Beaufort River so homes could be built facing south to catch the southern breezes. Stately homes were built in a T-shape known as the Beaufort Style Architecture to enhance catching the breeze from the river. The Cobbler’s Cottage is not one of the stately homes of the Plantation Planters but a cottage for the common working class that supplied services to the Planters in the area of Beaufort called “The Old Commons”.</p><br>
<p>Chambers Lake is a reservoir in Larimer County, Colorado. Located within the Roosevelt National Forest, the reservoir supplies water for irrigation and municipal water supply.</p><br>
<p>The reservoir is owned by the Water Supply and Storage Company, based in Fort Collins. The city of Thornton owns a large proportion of the companys stock. Water from the reservoir makes its way to the Cache la Poudre River. It then flows down through Poudre Canyon to Colorados Eastern Plains, where it is distributed.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The current dam is the third one to exist at the reservoir. Earlier dams burst in 1891 and 1904, causing much flooding and damage downstream. The present dam was built in 1910 and later renovated to increase its height to 58 feet. The renovations were completed in 1928.</p><br>
<p>Chambers Lake receives water from Skyline Ditch, completed in 1894, and several creeks. The ditch carries water from the Laramie River, which is part of the North Platte River watershed. The lake itself and its drainage are part of the South Platte River watershed, so the ditch is an early example of an interbasin transfer in Colorado.</p><br>
<h2>Recreation</h2><br>
<p>The Forest Service operates the Chambers Lake Campground, near the lake. Given the area&#39;s high altitude, the campground has a short season and is only open from about the end of June to the end of September.</p><br>
<p>The lake also offers fishing.</p><br>
<p>The Gates College Gymnasium, located at 509 L St.  in Neligh, Nebraska, was built in 1892. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. It was then serving as Gates County Museum.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story brick building about 30x50 ft in plan, with a hipped roof. One entrance goes to the first floor, which was the mens gymnasium area, and a separate entrance goes to the second floor, which was the womens gym. Gates College ceased to operate as a college in the 1890s and the building was sold to the county. The building became the Antelope County Jail in 1901, with installation of three cells in the first floor.</p><br>
<p>Brickwork in the building was done by T. H. Brenton, and carpentry work by C. E. Spaulding, both men from Neligh.</p><br>
<p>In 1964, when a new jail facility was completed, the building was turned over to the Antelope County Historical Society for use as a museum. The Society no longer uses it as a museum.</p><br>
<p>Paszkówka Palace  - a nineteenth-century Gothic Revival Wężyków family palace located in the village of Paszkówka, located in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, to the south-west of Kraków. Presently, the palace houses a luxury hotel.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Paszkówka Palace was designed by renowned, nineteenth-century Kraków architect, Feliks Księżarski, inter alia the designer of Collegium Novum, the main edifice of the Jagiellonian University. The former building was only one storey heigh, with a battlement-finish staircase, which on the outside forms a tower.</p><br>
<p>The palace&#39;s architecture is drawn towards the Neo-Gothic architectural style, with elements of English Neo-Gothic. According to architectural critics, the palace fails to live up to all the forms of Neo-Gothic architecture and as such is branded "pseudo-" Gothic. The main distinct architectural properties of the building are that of a Mauretanian tower, avant-corps and pinnacles. Underneath the windows on the first-storey are found mythological motifs.</p><br>
<p>The nineteenth-century palace is located in a characteristic English landscape garden type. There, grow old lime, oak and hornbeam trees. Part of the palace-garden complex is Hotel "Spichlerz", that was raised on the authentic foundation of the former granary.</p><br>
<p>Goat Hill—also called Bellvue Dome—is a dome in Larimer County, Colorado near Bellvue.</p><br>
<p>The dome has a gradual slope on its east side, but its west side is an almost-vertical cliff that hangs over the Cache la Poudre River that passes directly below. The mountain was formed as sedimentary rock was uplifted and folded during the Laramide orogeny.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>The mountain itself is on property owned by the Bureau of Land Management, but it&#39;s surrounded by private land, so access is difficult or impossible without permission from the adjacent property owners.</p><br>
<p>Goat Hill is prominently seen by motorists driving south on Highway 287. One can see the mountain in profile, with the slope on the left and the cliff on the right, before the highway turns east towards Fort Collins.</p><br>
<p>Sorø Lake is the largest and most upstream of three lakes that almost surround the town of Sorø, Sorø Municipality, on the central part of Zealand, Denmark. Together with the two other lakes, Pedersborg Lake and Tuel Lake, it is collectively known as the Sorø Lakes. They drain into the Suså River. Sorø Lake is owned by Sorø Academy, a centuries-old educational institution that stands on its northeastern shores. A tour boat operates on the lake in the summer time. It is also a popular venue for a wide range of recreational activities, including, sailing, rowing, kataking, fishing and swimming.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The lake consists of a rounded southern part and a long, narrow section, Smallesø (Narrow Lake), which extends north and finally becomes a canal that flows into Pedersborg Lake from where water continues to Tuel Lake and then through Tuel Å to the Suså River. It has a total area of 210 hectares and a maximum ddebth of 12.9 metres. It is a kettle hole and only fed by two minor streams.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Sorø Abbey amd the town of Sorø was built on what was almost an island in a single lake. Lake Sorø and Lake Pederborg when an embankment with a new road to Slagelse was built in the beginning of the 19th century. Thuelsø was separated from the two other lakes when the area now known as Flommen was drained and water levels in the lake was lowered.</p><br>
<p>Sorø Lake was a popular destination for excursions already from the 19th century, especially the Parnas Pavilion on a small hillat the southwestern corner of the lake. It later developed into one of the largest entertainment venues on Zealand with room for 1,200 dining guests and entertainment by artists such as Kai Normann Andersen, Liva Weel and Osvald Helmuth.</p><br>
<p>A small ferry operated on the lake from 1872, transporting passengers back and forth between the railway station and the town centre or Kongebroen.</p><br>
<h2>Surroundings</h2><br>
<h3>Town and landmarks</h3><br>

It is of wood frame construction on a concrete foundation, with a north facing corrugated metal (steel) gable roof. The siding is Shevlin log cabin siding (developed by Shevlin-Hixon Lumber to emulate log construction)."</p><br>
<p>The Wulian Feng are a mountain range in Yunnan, China, forming the northwest edge of the Yungui Plateau. The mountains are more of an escarpment than a true mountain range, towering above the right bank of the Jinsha River as it enters the Sichuan Basin and becomes the Yangtze. From the Jinsha River floor, the Wulian Feng rise over in less than forming impressive peak-like characteristics and thus leading to their name. They run entirely in Zhaotong Prefecture from the Jigongshan Grand Canyon of Ludian County in the southwest to Suijiang County in the northeast. The northern portion of the Wulian Feng exhibit more mountain-like characteristics as the Yungui Plateau is broken up here and valleys cut between the mountain peaks.</p><br>
<p>The highest point of the range is the -high summit of Dashanbao in the south which rises dramatically from the west but rises only a mere from the east. Mount Yao, across the Niulan River to the southwest, is even higher at above sea level, but is not considered part of the Wulian Feng.</p><br>
<p>Dashanbao Nature Reserve, at the height of the Wulian Feng, is an important Black-necked crane wintering site.</p><br>
<p>Breccia Peak  is a mountain in the southern Absaroka Range in the Rocky Mountains. It is located in Teton County in USA state of Wyoming near Togwotee Pass and close to the southwest border of the Teton Wilderness within the Bridger-Teton National Forest.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Breccia Peak is located about 2.5 mi north of Togwotee Pass, which connects Jackson Hole, traversed by the Snake River, in the west from the Wind River valley in the east. The pass is part of the Great Continental Divide, and the mountain is located about 4.5 mi west of it. The plateau-like summit shows very steep and rocky cliffs to the west and north, the Breccia Cliffs. To the east and southeast however, it shows a mainly grassy face. Between altitudes of 10,500 and, there is a steep rock barrier, except for the section near the east and southeast ridge.</p><br>
<p>In the west of the Breccia Peak there is no higher mountain for more than 30 mi, up to the Teton Range. Nevertheless, Breccia Peak is not particularly independent, because it has only 200 ft of clean prominence from neighboring Buffalo Fork Peak in the north.</p><br>
<p>About 1.25 mi southwest of Breccia peak lies Lost Lake at an elevation of about 9,500 ft, a small but very scenic lake, where Breccia Cliffs can reflect off the water in the right setting.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Breccia Peek is made of volcanic Absorka breccia, what explains its name. The rocks in the section of the summit belong to the Wiggins Formation of the Thorofare Creek Group originated in the Upper Eocene. In the saddle between Breccia Peak and Angle Mountain lying northwest is an elongate irregular intrusive body of glassy flow-banded rhyodacite porphyry showing minor associated wall-rock alteration.</p><br>
<h2>Climbing</h2><br>
<p>Breccia Peak is certainly one of the most rewarding summits in the Yellowstone Region reachable within two hours. From the trailhead near USA Highway 26/USA Highway 287 approximately 0.6 mi north of Togwotee Pass, visitors can get to the summit with a relatively easy hike (YDS Class 2, Swiss Alpine Club hiking grade T3). Starting at the pullout at the highway there is a well-established, but unofficial trail leading to the treeline. Early on there is a fork where climbers should bear left to get to Breccia Peak; the trail to the right leads to Sublette Peak (Brooks Mountain).</p><br>
<p>After some stream crossings the path reaches open timber. At an elevation of 10,000 ft, climbers get to a vast meadow southeast of Breccia Peak where they can see the southeast face of the mountain entirely. Here they have to leave the trail. The easiest route from there is to traverse the southeast face in northern direction to reach the east ridge, avoiding the steep rocky cliff in the middle. From there, climbers follow that ridge to the summit near the edge to the cliff on its right hand end mostly on grass. A somewhat shorter alternative involving a little more scrambling is to avoid the steep rocky cliff on its left hand, southwest end. To do so, climbers have to head west from the meadow to the south ridge of Breccia Peak and follow this ridge to the summit.</p><br>
<p>The southeast face of the mountain above timber is particularly suitable for backcountry skiing. There are only short runs, but many variants are possible.</p><br>
<p>The summit was in the zone of totality of the Solar eclipse of August 21, 2017. It was called a "quirky place to see the total solar eclipse" in the Wind River region in Wyoming.</p><br>
<p>The Anglican Church of St Mary in Kilve, Somerset, England was built in the 14th century. It is a Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first church on the site was probably built in the 12th century.</p><br>
<p>Parts of the 14th century church remain with additions in the 15th century and the tower is thought to have been built in 1636. The vestry was added in 1876 and the whole church restored in 1913. Another extensive renovation was completed in 2006.</p><br>
<p>The church had a choir from Kilve Chantry until the 15th century.</p><br>
<p>The parish of Kilve with Kilton and Lilstock is part of the Quantock Coast Benefice within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The blue lias stone building has a slate roof. It consists of a two-bay nave, chancel and vestry with a south porch. The two-stage west tower is supported by diagonal buttresses. There are two bells, the oldest of which was cast around 1500. The bells were housed in a separate thatched building until the construction of the tower.</p><br>
<p>The interior a 12th century font and a royal coat of arms from 1660. The chancel has a plastered barrel vault ceiling from the 15th century.</p><br>
<p>The Manor School, located at 4650 Manor Millwood Rd. in Manor in Ware County, Georgia, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<p>The listed property is 24 acre and includes five contributing buildings and a historic athletic field. A newspaper reported that it was deemed "significant in the area of architecture, as a good intact example of a rural consolidated public school building with elements of the Colonial Revival style that was later expanded with an International Style addition; and in the area of education, for its association with public education in Manor, according to the press release."</p><br>
<p>The main school building was built with Works Project Administration funding in 1937 and has an E-shaped plan. A kitchen and cafeteria building was built in 1956, a gymnasium was built in 1959, and a special education classroom building was built in 1964. The latter includes International Style elements. The school was the area high school until 1969, and the school was closed in 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Audiffred Building is a historic building in San Francisco, California, United States. It is three stories tall and houses a "swank" restaurant. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>This landmark building was built in 1889. It was constructed by Hippolite d&#39;Audiffred, a Frenchman. It is designed in the French Second Empire architectural style. The building was nearly destroyed by the San Francisco Fire Department as were all of the surrounding buildings in an attempt to stop the fires of the 1906 earthquake but the bartender bribed the firemen with lots of alcohol.</p><br>
<p>Its first floor has fluted cast iron columns with capitals including a floral "A" (for Audiffred). The entablature on the eastern half of the facade is decorated by a "cast frieze of bas relief nautical designs: seahorses, festoons and finials", from 1924 modification by the Bank of Italy.</p><br>
<p>The Whaleback Snow-Survey Cabin, about 10 mi north of Prospect in the Rogue River–Siskiyou National Forest in southwest Oregon, is a log cabin with a "snow tower" built in 1937. It is situated on the east slope of Whaleback Mountain. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-room log cabin about 12x14 ft in plan, on sill logs apparently on rock footings, built by R.A. Work and others. Its logs are probably Shasta Red Fir. It has a "Santa Claus" snow tower, about 12 ft tall and about 4x4 ft in size, to allow access during deep snow. According to the NRHP nomination,The idea for the distinctive tower or "Santa Claus" chimney on the Whaleback cabin had evolved the year before during a winter expedition into South Lake. In January 1936, R.A. Work and a companion skied into South Lake to complete a snow survey. They reached the South Lake cabin site a little before dark but were unable to locate it. Work described their dilemma: "We couldn&#39;t find the log cabin. We knew where the cabin was supposed to be and we feared that maybe some hunters had burned it down... We got our snow-tubes out, went to the place where we believed the cabin to be and started "sounding." Sure enough, we hit wood. We kept sounding until we came over the ridgepole of the cabin roof... Then we started digging, with our skis and with our hand-axe... We dug a hole down eleven feet to get into that cabin...The next year we put a "chimney" entrance on the cabin, and then could climb down through the wooden "chimney" into the cabin, underneath the snowdrifts."</p><br>

<p>The Glenn M. and Edith Averill House is a historic building located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States. Designed by local architectural firm Josselyn & Taylor, it was completed in 1906 in a combination of the Queen Anne style and the American Craftsman style. It replaced a smaller house that was located on its original lot at 1113 2nd Avenue, SE. The Averills lived here until 1913 when they moved into a new residence and rented out this home. In 1924 this house was sold to the Phi Alpha Pi fraternity. Later, the house was divided into apartments, and it was then used by several different businesses. St. Lukes Hospital acquired this and several other houses for a new medical pavilion. It was bought by Charles Jones and saved from being torn down. The house was moved to its current location on Fourth Avenue, SE, and renovated according to the Secretary of the Interior&#39;s Standards for Rehabilitation. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>

<p>The Cedar Rapids Central Business District Commercial Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015. Cedar Rapids was platted on the east bank of the Cedar River as Rapids City in 1841, and it was incorporated under the same name in 1849. Kingston was established on the west bank of the river in 1852. The two smaller communities consolidated in 1870 as Cedar Rapids. The streets were laid out parallel and perpendicular to the river, which flowed from the nothwest to the southeast. The Chicago, Iowa and Nebraska Railroad was the first to arrive in the community in 1859 and the tracks were laid on Fourth Street on the eastern edge of the central business district. The first bridge across the river was built at Third Avenue in 1871.</p><br>
<p>The first commercial buildings in this area were log and wood frame construction. After the American Civil War they began to be replaced by more substantial masonry structures. The buildings that make up the historic district date from 1880 to 1965, and are representative of the various architectural styles and vernacular building forms that were popular during this time period. While they differ in height and historic use, the buildings all feature masonry facades, ground-floor storefronts, and uniform alignment that creates a uniform street wall. The buildings have housed a variety of commercial functions that include retail, office buildings, banking, post office, public library, industrial, saloon/restaurant, theater, hotel, and a social hall. The Fourth Street Railroad Corridor is the contributing structure, and a parking garage is the non-contributing structure. The following buildings are individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places: Cedar Rapids Post Office and Public Building (1908), Security Building (1908), Sokol Gymnasium (1908), Lattner Auditorium Building (1910), Iowa Building (1914), Hotel Roosevelt (1927), and the Paramount Theatre (1928).</p><br>
<p>The West Side Third Avenue SW Commercial Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. Cedar Rapids was platted on the east bank of the Cedar River as Rapids City in 1841, and it was incorporated in 1849. Kingston was established on the west bank of the river in 1852, and it was annexed by Cedar Rapids in 1870. The streets were laid out parallel and perpendicular to the river, which flowed from the northwest to the southeast. The Chicago, Iowa & Nebraska Railway, later the Chicago & North Western Railway, was the prominent railroad on the west side of town. The first bridge across the river at Third Avenue was built in 1871. The current bridge was completed in 1912. Prior to a bridge, Rapid City and Kingston were connected by a ferry operated by David W. King, the founder of Kingston.</p><br>
<p>Initially residential, Third Avenue west of the river became increasingly commercial in the 1880s. The buildings that make up the historic district date from 1909 to 1942, and are representative of the various architectural styles and vernacular building forms that were popular during this time period. Two of the non-contributing buildings are more recent construction, while the third has been significantly altered. The buildings here are one to two stories in height and feature masonry facades, ground-floor storefronts, and uniform alignment that creates a uniform street wall. The buildings have housed a variety of commercial functions that include a bank, retail and wholesale stores, and professional offices. Peoples Savings Bank (1911) is individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Oak Hill Cemetery is located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States. It was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Cedar Rapids was platted on the east bank of the Cedar River as Rapids City in 1841, and it was incorporated in 1849. The first burials in the town were in what was called the village cemetery. It was located at what is now Eighth Street and Fifth Avenue SE. Oak Hill Cemetery was established as Rose Hill, also known as Mount Washington, in 1853 on farmland outside of town that belonged to Gabriel Carpenter and Freeman Smith. The graves in the village cemetery were relocated here. They include some of the founders of Cedar Rapids.</p><br>
<p>Chicago landscape architect Horace W.S. Cleveland was employed in 1869 and again in 1880 to prepare a plan for cemetery improvements giving it a rural picturesque landscape design. The Cedar Rapids architectural firm of Josselyn & Taylor designed the main entryway on the northwest corner of the cemetery in 1908 as a memorial to Lawson Daniels. It is composed of a gable-roofed shelter house, rustic stone walls and gateposts of cut glacial boulders, and decorative iron gates. Landscape architect, Ossian C. Simonds was hired in 1911 to redesign a portion of the cemeterys landscape. The buildings that contribute to the historic nature of the cemetery include the caretakers house and garage, the barn, the gateway shelter house, and nine mausoleums. The contributing structures include the stone walls and gateposts. The contributing objects include gravestones and monuments that are counted as a single object. The designed landscape is the contributing site.</p><br>

<p>Tanu  is a traditional Haida village site located on Tanu Island, Haida Gwaii, opposite of Kunga Island in Laskeek Bay, within the Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and Haida Heritage Site.</p><br>
<p>The village site is designated as a National Historic Site of Canada.</p><br>
<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>The anglicized name Tanu (anachronistically spelled Tanoo) derives from the Haida (X̱aayda Kil) word taanuu, meaning eel grass – referring to the abundant sea grass found at the mouth of the village. Historically, European newcomers commonly referred to the village as “Klue’s Village” (alternatively spelled Kloo, Clue, or Clew), referring to the original town chief, Xe-u (meaning Southeast Wind&#39;).</p><br>
<p>Note that the village New Clew (K’aadas Guu Gandlaay) at Church Creek in the Cumshewa Inlet on Moresby Island is often mistaken for the village of Tanu.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>According to George F. MacDonald, basing his estimation off of the accounts given by informants to John R. Swanton during the 1900-1901 Jesup Expedition, the town of Tanu likely did not exist earlier than 1735, approximating that the town was in existence for 110 to 165 years before the time of the village’s final resident town chief, G̲itkun John Williams, at the turn of the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The first settlers at Tanu arrived from Cumshewa Inlet, of the two closely aligned Eagle lineages, Those-Born-at-Skedans (K’uuna) and the Djigua-Town-People – among the most powerful Eagle families on the islands at the time. The first town chief of Tanu, Xe-u, was a member of the former.</p><br>
<p>The village was recorded to have a population of 545 inhabitants at around 1840 by John Work of the Hudson’s Bay Company, making it one of the largest in the archipelago. The decision to relocate was made that year, with the surviving population moving north and establishing the village of New Clew, near the ancestral ‘old story town’ of Djigua. The new village was occupied until 1897; the residents then followed the island-wide consolidation of the Haida people to Graham island, and settled at the southern town of Skidegate.</p><br>
<p>Visiting the village in 1883, James G. Swan recorded that there were thirty-one mortuary poles and fifteen mortuary houses, far outnumbering the remaining frontal house poles and longhouses. MacDonald speculates that soon before the relocation to New Clew, the mortuary remains of more than fifty individuals were interred in a mass gravesite at the prompting of Christian missionaries.</p><br>
<h2>Village site</h2><br>
<p>Tanu is designated as a Haida Heritage Site by Parks Canada and the Council of the Haida Nation, and the site is co-managed by the joint venture of Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and Haida Heritage Site, though it is not included as part of the park reserve due to its zoning within Tanoo Indian Reserve No. 9.</p><br>
<p>The site today retains three visible house-pits and a number of house-beams along the forest undergrowth, along with a number of monumental poles in various stages of decomposition. It is among the sites covered by the Haida Gwaii Watchmen Program, and has a resident Watchman on-site between May and October each year to welcome visitors and provide information of its history.</p><br>
<p>Two ancestral frontal poles of the village were removed in the 1930s by B.C. Packers, and moved to Prince Rupert to be displayed in a local park. In response to worsening conditions of the poles, they were relocated in 1965 to the Royal British Columbia Museum in Victoria (which, along with the Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver and the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, houses other poles that were taken from Tanu). In 1976, the two poles were among the first Haida cultural artifacts to be reclaimed in repatriation efforts led by the Ḵay Llnagaay Haida Heritage Centre, where they are currently housed in the Xaayda Sahlinda Naay (lit. ‘Saving Things House’).</p><br>
<p>The ashes of Iljuwas Bill Reid were buried in Tanu following his death in 1998, near the birthplace of his maternal grandmother, Josephine, of the Kaadaas gaah Kiiguwaay Wolf clan Raven moiety. His headstone joins others that have been placed there by descendents of Tanu chiefs living in Skidegate.</p><br>
<p>The Spit of Nizhny Novgorod  is one of the main natural attractions of Nizhny Novgorod. It is located at the confluence of the rivers Oka and Volga.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The arrow separates the Oka and the Volga. Previously, it was a port for cargo ships arriving in Nizhny Novgorod and departing from it. On Spit there is another attraction of the city - Alexander Nevsky Cathedral.</p><br>
<p>On the Spit a stadium is being built for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. In the same year, the opening of the Strelka metro station with the same name is planned. After the reconstruction, a park will appear on the Spit.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>From the 16th to the 20th century</h3><br>
<p>In the times of the Russian Tsardom, the Spit (Strelka) was the center of the Strelitzky camp of Nizhny Novgorod Uyezd. Therefore, this place is now so called. Later the river port began to form here. This place was convenient for unloading and loading of ships and merchant ships arriving in Nizhny Novgorod along the Oka and Volga. A low place, at the intersection of two rivers, became more profitable for the construction of berths than the high Nizhny Novgorod hill. Siberian piers were formed on the shore from the side of the Volga.</p><br>
<p>During the time of the Russian Empire, St. Petersburg piers from the Oka side were added to the piers on the Volga shore. A new stage in the development of the river port on the Spit was the transfer of the fair from Makariev in 1817. Since then, the freight turnover of waterways has become more than 70 million poods (31 million kilograms). In 1880, the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral was built on the Spit. Also it was called New Fair. During the All-Russia Exhibition in 1896, there were built guest houses and exhibition pavilions. Also, the first tram was opened, connecting the city with the fair. This event completely transformed Strelka, making it one of the busiest places in Kanavinskaya Sloboda, which was not yet part of Nizhny Novgorod.</p><br>
<h3>The Soviet period</h3><br>
<p>During the Soviet Union, there have been major changes in the territory of the Spit. February 5, 1918, the administration of wharves was established. In 1932 a large cargo port was built on this territory. Also, in the late 30s, the destruction of Alexander Nevsky Cathedral began. On the site of the cathedral it was planned to build a giant lighthouse with a monument to Vladimir Lenin from above. However, only its roof and domes were dismantled. During the entire Soviet period it was used as a warehouse and communal housing for the port workers. During the World War II on the roof of the cathedral, instead of the central dome, an anti-aircraft machine gun was installed to repel Luftwaffe attacks on the port. The Spits defense did not allow the Germans to bombing the port territory and the Oksky (Kanavinsky) bridge. After the war, the port began to increase cargo turnover and became one of the largest in the Soviet Union. During the Cold War, a network of underground anti-nuclear bunkers was built at the Spit. In 1983, the restoration of Alexander Nevsky Cathedral began.</p><br>
<h3>Current Russia</h3><br>
<p>After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the port on the Spit was privatized. The territory around it began to be built up by private buildings and garages. In the 90s, the city council and local residents did not care about the exterior of the Spit. The restoration of Alexander Nevsky Cathedral was completed. In the early 2000s the situation changed. The construction of a microdistrict in the wasteland near the port began. In the beginning the microdistrict Sedmoe Nebo was built, a hypermarket of the same name opened a little later. The development of this territory was included in the general plan of the 70s. It was planned to build residential areas and a new highway on the embankment of the Volga. On the territory continued to build new houses, roads and other infrastructure. In the beginning of 2010 there were plans for the development of the territory for the trade and business center Strelka-City. However, in 2015 it became known that the territory of the Spit will be built stadium for the 2018 FIFA World Cup and territory around it will be completely reconstructed.Check date values in: &#x7C;date= (help)</p><br>
<p>In the same year the river port was transferred, and its functions were distributed between the towns of Kstovo, Bor and other. Near the stadium is the construction of the Strelka metro station. The station is named after the Spit (Strelka).</p><br>
<p>During the reconstruction in the former port were discovered lacy metal structures of the All-Russia Exhibition of 1896, remade for warehouses in the Soviet period. The townspeople advocated the preservation of these structures in the same place and the governor supported the citizens of Nizhny Novgorod. These structures are planned to be restored and used for other purposes. August 1, 2017 were demolished old concrete warehouses, built in the 30s in the Soviet period. They had no historical value. However, the media and liberal activists presented this information as if historical warehouses with lace structures were demolished.</p><br>
<p>On November 1, 2016, the construction of a highway on the Volga embankment from Strelka along the micro district Meshcherskoe Ozero began. Designing and commencement of construction also accompanied a scandal provoked by local residents. They were again supported by the media and liberals. The inhabitants considered this territory to be their immediate place of rest and walks, and also called it an ecological zone. However, this embankment was completely destroyed and littered. This did not correspond in any way to the residents&#39; words about a full-fledged place for recreation. In addition, the project to build a road on the Volga embankment was developed in 1977 and approved in 2010.</p><br>
<p>Another discovery was the underground bunkers built during the Cold War, in the event of a nuclear strike. They were found in December 2016. Public proposals were made on their preservation and transformation into the Museum of the Cold War.</p><br>
<p>The Abram C. Fisk House is a private house located at 867 East Chicago Road in Coldwater, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Abram C. Fisk was born in Penfield, New York in 1815. He moved to Coldwater in 1835 and married Catherine Smith soon after. In 1840, the Fisks settled on a eighty-acre farm at this site, straddling the Chicago Road. They built a house on the south side of the road, near the current house. There Fisk raised horses, and gained a reputation as a leading thoroughbred breeder. In about 1861, the Fisks began construction of this house, finishing it within a few years.</p><br>
<p>Abram Fisk died in 1897, and the farm and house passed on to his son, William. In 1914, it was sold to Charles and Lena Moore, who passed it to their daughter, Eleanor Barthel. It was later sold to Mr. and Mrs. Carl Bohnenstadt, who used the house as an antique shop, and then Elizabeth Jewell purchased the house in 1961.</p><br>
<p>As of 2016, Philip Jewell and his wife Catherine operate Blue Hat Coffee shop and roasters out of the house.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Abram C. Fisk House is a two-story red brick Italianate structure with a hip roof crowned with a cupola. The house measures 40 feet by 40 feet and stands on an ashlar stone foundation. The facade is symmetrical, and is decorated with raised brick pilasters and arched head windows. The eaves are supported with oversized paired brackets, shaped in a wheel-with-daisy pattern.</p><br>
<p>A Colonial Revival porch spans the front of the house; this was likely added around 1900. The entryway is through a double door flanked by double-hung one-over-one windows.</p><br>
<p>On the interior, the house has a square plan. The first floor originally contained a central hall, sitting room, parlor, dining room/ kitchen, and a small bedroom. The second floor originally contained four bedrooms and a bathroom. The ceiling height throughout the house is twelve feet.</p><br>
