<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The James L. Autry House was designed by Alfred C. Finn working under the commission of Sanguinet & Staats in 1912. The house is located at 5 Courtlandt Place, which is a private street in Houston. The house is next door to a greenhouse and tennis courts at 3 Courtlandt Place, a property that was developed at the same time as the main house.</p><br>
<p>Finn designed the two and a half story Neoclassical Revival structure to be supported with a wood frame. This cubic area defines the main part of the house, fronted by a half-moon Doric portico, which is supported by in the front by two small Doric columns. The portico fronts a double-gallery with balustrades, where the front of the double-gallery is defined by four large, fluted Doric columns. The front of the hipped roof includes two wide dormers with multiple-paned sash, and the sides of the main part of the house are graced by two exposed brick chimneys. Also flanking the main part of the house are a porte-cochere and a sun room, both capped with balustrades, and preserving the overall symmetry of the structure. Autry had requested that the design emulate a house he had seen in Corsicana, Texas. Construction costs totaled $40,686.</p><br>
<h2>Biography</h2><br>
<p>The house is named for its first owner, James Lockhart Autry, who was general counsel for the Texas Company, now better known as Texaco. He was born in Holly Springs, Mississippi on November 4, 1859 and first moved to Texas in order to manage a ranch in Navarro County. He apprenticed to an attorney in Corsicana, Texas before his admission to the bar in 1880. After forming a law firm with W.J. McKie, Autry began a long business relationship with Joseph S. Cullinan. In 1904, just two years after Spindletop, he followed Cullinan to Beaumont, Texas to work for the Texas Fuel Company, where Cullinan tapped him to serve as general counsel. A year later, Cullinan reorganized his firm, which became the Texas Company, for which Autry served as a founding director and general counsel. Once again, Autry followed Cullinan when the Texas Company moved its headquarters to Houston in 1908. Cullinan, Autry, and Will C. Hogg all resigned in 1913 to form their own partnership, which established several new companies, just a year after Autry established his residence at 5 Courtlandt Place. In 1915, he suffered a debilitating stroke. He died in 1920, survived by his wife, a daughter, and a son, who all remained in the house, which remained in family hands until its sale in 1938.</p><br>

Erected in 1863, it is one of the oldest memorials to the American Civil War in the United States, and the first to be erected in Connecticut. It is a modest brownstone obelisk, with an accompanying cannon. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Kensington Soldiers Monument is located in front of the Kensington Congregational Church, at the junction of Percival Avenue and Sheldon Street in Berlins Kensington neighborhood. The memorial is a brownstone obelisk 20 ft in height, mounted in a two-part base 28 in in height. Each face of the obelisk is engraved with inscriptions, that on the southeast naming the four Kensington men killed in 1863, and that on the southwest naming eight more killed in 1864 and 1865. Two plaques have been attached to the monument, identifying it as the first monument in the nation dedicated to Civil War dead.</p><br>
<p>Impetus for the erection of the monument originated with the Rev. Elias B. Hilliard of the Kensington Congregational Church in 1862, upon learning of six Kensington dead in Civil War battles. The monument was designed by Nelson Augustus Moore, a prominent Connecticut sculptor, and was cut in a Berlin stone yard from brownstone quarried in Portland. It was formally dedicated on July 28, 1863, with a speech by United States Senator Lafayette Foster. It is distinct from many later Civil War memorials, which tend to include figures of soldiers. A period cannon was placed in front of the monument during semi-centennial commemoration of the monument in 1913.</p><br>
<p>The William H. and Alice Bailey House is an historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It is a two-story, balloon frame, front gable dwelling.

<p>The C.H. Baker Double House, also kown as the Indiana Apartments, The Manor, and The Manor House, is an historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Built from 1901 to 1902, it is a two-story structure that features balloon frame construction with brick veneer. It was designed in the Colonial Revival style by the Des Moines architectural firm of Smith & Gutterson. Its significance is attributed to its location on the Sixth Avenue streetcar route "to capitalize on the</p><br>
<p>appeal of public transportation." It was one of the first multiple-family rental properties along the avenue, and it was built for upper-middle class occupancy. It was part of the movement toward denser residential use in this area of the city. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>The Ezra Allred Bungalow in Paris, Idaho was built in 1910. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-and-a-half story brick and frame house with a front-facing gable. The brick is buff-colored.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant "as one of Paris&#39; handsomest and most substantial bungalows. It is one of the relatively few in brick; it projects the characteristic features of the bungalow type while retaining a curiously Queen Anne quality in its exhuberant combination of textures and imaginative fenestration. The use of narrow ceiling and larger strips on the very large gable like that on the similar Fred Price bungalow (site #67) is a bold example of a device pecularily popular in bungalows. The lattice-like gable apron, and the beveled bay, are unique elements."</p><br>
<p>The Byron A. Beeson House, also known as Mission Temple Academy, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States.

Beeson who served as Treasurer of Iowa from 1891 to 1895, and as Adjutant General of the Iowa National Guard around the same the same time. The house&#39;s significance is derived from its location in suburban North Des Moines and its complex roof system. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. A stable along the alley behind the house shares the historic designation.</p><br>
<p>The Hill McClelland Bell House is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Built 1902, the 2½-story structure features a rectangular plan, a gable front, and a wrap-around porch. Decorative elements include wood shingles in the gable end, and some of the windows have a diamond mullion pattern. The house&#39;s significance is derived from its association with Hill McClelland Bell, president of Drake University from 1902 to 1918. This was a period of</p><br>
<p>dramatic growth for the college. It was during his tenure that the institution was accredited with the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges, the establishment of a faculty pension, an increase in the school&#39;s endowment, a decrease in its debts, eminent professors joined the faculty, and several colleges were reorganized. Enrollment increased during this period of time, and five significant buildings were built on campus. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Austin Eli Wing was born in 1792 in Conway, Massachusetts, and graduated from  in 1814. Lewis Cass and William Woodbridge convinced Wing to move to the Michigan Territory, where he joined Woodbridge&#39;s law firm. He was appointed sheriff of the territory, and served as a delegate from the Michigan Territory to the US House of Representatives from 1825-29 and 1831-33. In 1828, Wing purchased the property on which this house now stands. It is uncertain when the house itself was constructed, but it could have been as early as 1829. Wing and his wife Harriet lived in the house until 1844, when they passed it on to their son, Talcott E. Wing. Austin Wing died in 1849.</p><br>
<p>Talcott E. Wing was born in 1819, and moved with his parents to Monroe in 1829. He graduated from Williams College in 1840, and in 1844, the same year he moved into this house, he was admitted to the bar in Michigan. He ran a law practice from 1849 until about 1857 with Ira R. Grosvenor, and in 1864 was elected probate judge. He was also elected president of the Michigan Historical Society in 1888 and 1889. Talcott Wing lived in this house until his death in 1890, and his estate sold in 1892.</p><br>
<p>Ellen J. Hall owned the house from 1892 to 1899, then sold it to nurseryman Theodore E. Ilgenfritz. Theodore was the son of Israel Ilgenfritz, a Monroe pioneer and nationally known nurseryman who had settled in Monroe in 1847. Theodore was born in 1856, attended Albion College, and married Kate La Fontaine in 1878. He joined his fathers firm in 1884. The couple moved into this house in 1899, and lived there until Theodores death in 1919 and Kate&#39;s in 1935.</p><br>
<p>In 1937, morticians Earle Little and Frank Weber leased the house from the Ilgenfritz estate, renovated the property, and at the beginning of 1938 opened a mortuary. Later that year, Frank Weber, Eli Allore, and Gus Beam formed a partnership and purchased the house, reopening as the Allore, Beam and Weber Mortuary. Eli Allore, the driving force behind the firm, was born in 1907, and in 1925 joined Frank Weber&#39;s firm of Nadeau and Weber Undertaking. He was elected county coroner in 1932, then in 1933 partnered with Gus Beam. Allore, Beam and Weber Mortuary continued until the early 1940s; Beam left the firm in 1943 and Weber retired in 1945. Allore bought out the other partners, keeping the business in his name. Eli retired in 1973 after a stroke and sold the business to his son Robert Allore. Robert Allore opertaed the business and lived in the apartment above the funeral home with his wife until 1994, when he retired and sold the firm. The Martenson Family Funeral Homes of Trenton, Michigan purchased the house and business in 1994, retaining the Allore name.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The original part of the Wing-Allore House, dating from approximately 1829, is a two-story, red brick, gable-front Italianate structure. Smaller additions were built on the side and rear at some point during ht 19th century, and further additions, mostly complementary flat-roofed structures, were added after 1939 when the house was converted to a funeral parlor. The complete structure now encomapasses 9190 square feet.</p><br>
<p>The Home Federal Savings and Loan Association of Des Moines Building, also known as the Catholic Pastoral Center, is a historic building located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Completed in 1962, it is considered to be "one of the most well-known examples of mid-century modern architecture in Des Moines." It was designed by the prominent Chicago architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and it is one of the first steel and glass modernist buildings in the citys downtown. The three-story building rises to the height of 40.25 ft. It was built for the Home Federal Savings and Loan Association of Des Moines, which failed in 1990 amid the countrys Savings and loan crisis.

From 2016 to 2017, the building underwent a $10 million renovartion. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<p>The King&#39;s Field House is a historic house at 827 North Street in Suffield, Connecticut. Built about 1723 by the son of an early settler, it is a well-preserved example of 18th-century residential architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The King&#39;s Field House stands in a rural suburban area north of the village center of Suffield, on the west side of North Street. It is set back from the road, facing south on a private lane behind more recent residential construction. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. The rear roof line of the main block descends to the first floor, giving the house a classic saltbox profile. A modern gable-roofed addition projects to the rear (north) of the main block. The interior exhibits evidence of three periods of development, all in the 18th century: the timber framing is stylisting from the late First Period (1720s), parlor spaces have been decorated with later Georgian wood paneling, and the main entrance surround, a late 18th-century proto-Federalist surround with a false fanlight.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1723 by Lieutenant William King. King was the son of James King, one of Suffield&#39;s early colonial settlers, and was given the surrounding acreage in 1722. King was a major local landowner who was active in civic affairs, serving as a town selectman for many years. Later generations of Kings also lived here, operating diverse businesses including a blacksmith shop and a cooperage. The house underwent restoration in the 1930s by Delphina Clark, the first woman admitted to the Yale School of Architecture and a one-time resident of the house.</p><br>

<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Alexander King House stands near the southern edge of Suffield&#39;s village center, on the east side of South Main Street opposite Willow Creek Avenue. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. A single-story gabled ell extends to the rear, and a shed-roof porch is attached to the right side. The main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance framed by pilasters, a multilight transom window, and a corniced entablature. The interior follows a typical center-chimney plan, with an entrance vestibule with winding stair in front, parlors on either side of the chimney, and a kitchen with small corner rooms in the rear. The left parlor is the finest room in the house, with a fully paneled fireplace wall, and a corner cabinet framed by pilasters rising to an arch. The right parlor also retains original paneling and cabinetry. The stair in the vestibule features delicately carved balusters. The kitchen walls are also mostly paneled, although with simpler styling.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1764 by Alexander King, one of Suffield&#39;s leading citizens of the time. King had graduated from Yale College, and practiced medicine in the town.

<p>The Childstown Township Bridge Number S-15 is a historic bridge over an unnamed stream on 282nd Street in rural Turner County, South Dakota, west of Hurley. Built in 1940, it is one of a modest number of bridges surviving in the county that was built with New Deal funding. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Childstown Township Bridge Number S-15 is located in rural western Turner County, about 6 mi west of Hurley. It carries 282nd Street, a rural dirt road, across an unnamed stream between 449th and 450th Avenues. It is a small single-span stone arch structure, with an arch 6 ft in length. A headwall rises about 1 ft above the arch on each side, and extends into angled wing walls. It is built out of local split fieldstone, mostly granite and gneiss. At the top of the arch on each is a metal plate is affixed with the legend "WPA 4422".</p><br>
<p>This bridge is one of 180 stone arch bridges built in Turner County as part of a New Deal-era federal jobs program. The county administration was able to build stone bridges at a lower cost than then-conventional steel beam bridges because of the availability of experienced stone workers, and the federal subsidy to the wages they were paid. The county was responsible for supervising the work crews and providing the building materials. This bridge was built in 1940 by a county crew to a standardized state design.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas Smedley House, located on E. 1st North in Paris, Idaho, was built in about 1870 by Thomas Smedley. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>Thomas Smedley was a brick-maker, but built his home of wood. The house was deemed "architecturally significant as a good illustration of the additive approach to house composition which characterized much of Paris&#39; historic building and as an example of the increasing refinement of the component folk forms. The son of the builder indicates that the house was built in three stages: the central hall-and-parlor section, the left wing and then the right wing. The Smedley family arrived in Paris in 1873 and it is likely that the center cabin was their original house, being of similar siding and scale to other early frame cabins in town."</p><br>
<p>The Byron and Ivan Boyd House, also known as Boyd Cottage, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Built in 1924, the 2½-story Tudor Revival half-timbered cottage is located in an up-scale neighborhood. The neighborhood is composed of large private residential lots with numerous mansions built in the first half of the 20th-century for the citys prominent citizens. Its significance is its association with Byron Bennett Boyd. He was a local architect, and a nationally recognized artist and painter. Boyd was the architect that designed this house, and lived here from 1924 to 1945. He began practicing architecture at the proinent Des Moines firm of Proudfoot, Bird and Rawson before setting up his own practice in 1916 with Herbert Moore. His work includes Salisbury House  and the Ralph Rollins House . Boyds wife, Ivan Bloom Hardin, owned her own publishing company.</p><br>
<p>In his art career, Boyd was a contributor at the Stone City Art Colony, and was friends with Grant Wood and Thomas Hart Benton. He exhibited paintings at the Whitney Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, the Art Institute of Chicago, and others.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. It shares the historic designation with the limestone wall that extends around the perimeter of the grounds (contributing structure) and the stone patio and bench (contributing object).</p><br>
<p>The Larnerd Case House, also known as Rose Hill, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. This two-story, frame, Greek Revival structure is the oldest dwelling that is still standing in the city. The second floor dormer and the front porch are not original to the house. This section of Iowa was opened for settlement in 1845 after a treaty with the Sauk and Meskwaki  tribes. Larnerd Case, an Ohio native, built this house using black walnut cut from the property in 1846. He lived on what was then a 160 acre farm until his death in 1857. The residential area that surrounds the house and the park across the street were once part of the farm. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Lewis-Zukowski House is a historic house at 1095 South Grand Street in Suffield, Connecticut. Built in 1781, it is rare in the town as an 18th-century residence built out of brick, accompanied by a mid-19th century barn. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Lewis-Zukowski House stands in a rural setting of southwestern Suffield, on the west side of South Grand Street, just north of its crossing of Stony Brook and just east of the town line with East Granby. It is a 2-1/2 story brick building, with a gabled roof and stone foundation. A wood-frame enclosed shed-roof porch extends across its right side, and a modern wood-frame ell extends to the rear. The main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance recessed in a rectangular opening, topped by a transom window. North of the house stands a timber-frame barn, sheathed in vertical board siding and covered by a gable roof. Its square cupola and round-arch window in the gable end give it a vague sense of Italianate style, suggesting a construction date in the 1860s. Further back on the property is an early 20th-century tobacco barn, and there are also an early 20th century garage, milk shed, and silo on the property.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1781 by Hezekiah Lewis, a local farmer. The use of brick as a domestic building material was at the time relatively uncommon in Connecticut, making this one of the older of such houses in the state. Lewis was not at the time particularly wealthy, but by his death in 1805 owned a fulling mill. The property is also historically significant for its purchase in 1905 by Michael Zukowski, an immigrant from eastern Europe who was part of a wave of immigration that revitalized the community&#39;s agriculture.</p><br>
<p>Lowell Park is a municipal park located along the Rock River in northern Dixon, Illinois. The city acquired the land for the park in 1906, when Carlotta Lowell donated the land to commemmorate her parents lives. Lowell recruited the Olmsted Brothers, a nationally prominent architecture firm formed by the sons of Frederick Law Olmsted, to provide a design for the park; their design emphasized the parks natural scenery by ensuring that its manmade features complemented rather than distracted from it. The park opened to the public in 1907, though its original plan was not fully completed until 1942. It served as a forerunner to state parks, and according to the Dixon Evening Telegraph, it remained the only park of its kind in the region as late as the 1930s. In addition, the park preserves one of the few remaining segments of the Boles Trail, which ran from Peoria to Galena.</p><br>
<p>The park was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 8, 2006.</p><br>
<p>The Dixon Downtown Historic District is a historic district which encompasses 154 properties in downtown Dixon, Illinois.

<p>Togean and the other islands in the archipelago were formed by volcanic activity. It is separated from the islands of Batudaka to its southwest and Talakatoh to its east by narrow channels, which are believed to have originated from ancient riverbeds scoured by recent currents.</p><br>
<p>Geology of the island varies, with reefal limestones in the extreme northwest, followed by sedimentary sandstones, extrusive volcaniclastic rocks and intrusive rocks further east.</p><br>
<h2>Economy</h2><br>
<p>In order to accommodate tourists visiting the nautical national park, there are 8 hotels on the island. In addition to tourism, agriculture is present on the island with coconuts and cocoa, the two main crops, taking up approximately 1,500 and 1,000 hectares respectively. Neither PLN nor the local government&#39;s water authority is present on the island.</p><br>
<p>The Albert Baird Cummins House, also known as Terrace Tower, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. This 2½-story stone and stucco Queen Anne was built in 1893. It is significant because of its association with Albert Baird Cummins who lived here from the time it was built until 1920. A Republican, Cummins served as Governor of Iowa from 1902 to 1908 and as United States Senator from 1908 until his death in 1926. He was a Progressive who supported the "Iowa Idea," which sought to destroy trusts by removing tariffs from trust made products. As a senator he sponsored the Esch-Cummins Act that returned the railroads to private control after the government took them over during World War I. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Streator Public Library is a historic Carnegie library located at 130 S. Park Street in Streator, Illinois. Opened in 1903, the library was the first permanent home for Streators library association. Architects Patton & Miller designed the Classical Revival building. The library is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is still home to Streators main public library.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Streators first library association, the Streator Library Association, lasted from 1871 to 1875 and was based out of various local businesses. After the association failed, the Ladies Library Association formed in 1876; it occupied space in multiple community buildings before eventually settling in the Plumb Opera House. Ralph Plumb, owner of the opera house, was a personal friend of Andrew Carnegie; when Carnegie began his library program, Plumb reached out to him to ask for a grant for Streators library. Carnegie gave the community $35,000 for its library; the sum was one of the largest granted through the library program. Work on the building began in 1902, and it opened on January 21, 1903.</p><br>
<p>The library was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 2, 1996.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Chicago architects Patton & Miller designed the library in the Classical Revival style. Two-story columns flank the front entrance, which is topped by a pediment. A terra cotta cornice and frieze encircle the building; the cornice includes modillions and a fretwork pattern, while the frieze consists of flat panels. A brick parapet with an elaborate terra cotta panel at the front rises above the roof line, and a dome tops the roof. The interior of the building includes a two-story rotunda; the first floor of the rotunda is surrounded by columns, while the second floor features murals of William Shakespeare, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Socrates.</p><br>
<p>The Spring Valley House&ndash;Sulfur Springs Hotel is a historic former hotel located along Dee Bennett Road in rural Utica Township, LaSalle County, Illinois. Built circa 1849, the hotel is unusually large for a rural hotel of the area. The brick and limestone building, which features Greek Revival elements and vernacular stonework, is four stories tall and 63 by in area. Its size is likely a result of it serving two different audiences; due to its proximity to the Illinois River and a major stagecoach line, it hosted travelers passing through the area, but it also functioned as a resort destination due to the area&#39;s hot springs. Three such springs are located on the site of the hotel, one of which has a spring house built over it. The opening of the Chicago and Rock Island Railroad through the area doomed the hotel, as stagecoach and river travel declined dramatically, and it closed after 1862.</p><br>
<p>The hotel building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 20, 1987.</p><br>
<p>The Professor Charles O. Denny House is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It is a 2½-story dwelling that follows an irregular plan. It features a hipped roof with gablets and additional gables, fishscale shingles, bargeboards, reeded panels that form the cornice, and a wraparound porch with a pedimented entry. The property on which it stands is one of ten plats that were owned by Drake University. The University sold the lot to C.O. Denny in 1892, and he had the house built the following year. Denny was a Latin professor at Drake and lived nearby. He seems to have bought the property for speculative purposes. Its significance is attributed to the effect of the University&#39;s innovative financing techniques upon the settlement of the area around the campus. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The Edward B. and Nettie E. Evans House is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Its significant as the best Free Classic Queen Anne style dwelling in the city. It is a transitional architectural style. The 2½-story structure shows elements of both the Queen Anne and the Neoclassical styles. The Queen Anne is found in the asymmetrical plan, the complex roof treatment, the full width and recessed porches, and contrasting shingle patterns. The Neoclassical is found in the window and door trim, the grouped classical porch columns, and the Palladian window in the attic level.</p><br>
<p>Edward Evans was a lawyer who was the first secretary of the Drake College of Law, now the Drake University Law School, and the school&#39;s second Dean. He was also a law professor, and he authored a textbook. Edward and his wife Nettie lived here from 1899, when the house was built, until 1910. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>

<p>The Manchester Historic District encompasses a historic planned industrial and residential area of Manchester, Connecticut. Located west of the towns Main Street area, the district includes most of the Cheney Brothers Historic District, a National Historic Landmark District covering the silk manufacturing mills, worker housing, and owner residences of the Cheney family, as well as other surrounding residential areas related to the growth and development of Manchester under the Cheneys influence. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Manchester was settled in the 17th century, but it remained basically agricultural until the 19th century. In 1838 the Cheney family established a silk processing business that came to dominate the town&#39;s economy for more than a century. The Cheneys basically built up a company town, providing housing and other amenities for its workers. The built churches and schools, a water works that served both the mill and the surrounding town, The manufacturing complex at the center of this business is located west of Main Street and north of Interstate 384, and forms the core of the National Historic Landmark district. The estate houses of the Cheneys lie to the east, with what was originally company-owned housing just to the north and west.</p><br>
<p>The present historic district expands on the landmark district, mainly extending northward to Center Springs Park, which was created from land donated by the Cheneys and the Hillards, another prominent industrial family. The dominant element of this area is residential housing, which, most of which consists of one and two-family wood frame dwellings. Many of these are classifiable into a number of different vernacular forms and styles, and often have modest elements of styling. Late additions to the district include a series of apartment blocks on St. James Street and Garden Drive, built in 1944 to meet housing demand during World War II.</p><br>

<p>Glinsk Castle is a tower house and National Monument located in County Galway, Ireland.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Glinsk Castle is located in the centre of Glinsk village, halfway between Creggs and Ballymoe, in the valley of the River Suck.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Glinsk Castle was built in the mid-17th century (begun c. 1628) and is reputed to be the last castle built in Ireland (obviously this depends on one&#39;s definition of "castle", for example Glenveagh Castle was constructed in 1870). It was the seat of the Burke baronets of Glinsk. It was gutted by fire, leaving it well preserved. In 1829 Skeffington Gibbon described it as "a terrific roofless pile, haunted by a colony of rats."</p><br>
<h2>Castle</h2><br>
<p>The castle stands on a limestone floor overlooking the countryside; famously, one can see all five counties of Connacht.</p><br>
<p>The castle is rectangular with two towers protruding to the south. It has two chimney shafts, each a battery of five diagonal stacks. The windows are mullioned with weepers. Defensive features included gun loops, bartizans and high basements. It was once surrounded by a bawn wall with turrets but little of that remains.</p><br>
<p>The Lowry W. and Hattie N. Goode First North Des Moines House, also known as the Allabach House, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. The Late Victorian-style single-family dwelling is significant for its association with Lowry W. Goode. Goode was a prominent real estate developer in the Des Moines area in the 19th-century. Built c. 1884 in what was the suburb of North Des Moines, this house is one of the last resources that calls attention to his work. The Goode&#39;s themselves built and occupied several houses in North Des Moines, and they lived here for about one year after it was built. They then used it as a rental property for a while until they sold it. The two-story brick structure features a main block with a rectangular plan, intersecting gables, a single-story bay window on the west elevation, a two-story extension on the south elevation, and a rear wing. The original porch has been removed. The house was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>

<p>It is an irregular-plan balloon-frame house on a brick foundation.</p><br>
<p>In its NRHP nomination, it was deemed to be "an excellent and locally significant example of a rural Folk Victorian dwelling. It serves to illustrate the evolution of a typical rural dwelling during the prosperity, depression and recovery of the local agricultural economy during the first half of the 20th century. It is also one for the few remaining examples of this type of rural dwelling in its community."</p><br>
<p>The F.E. Haley Double House, also known as the Gordon Apartments, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. This double house is significant as being one of the first of this kind of building type buit in the Des Moines area. The double house was developed in this area starting in the Victorian era. This 2½-story, brick Colonial Revival was built in 1897 by Felix E. Haley. He managed the building, but never lived here, suggesting he had it built for rental/investment purposes. The building features a symmetrical facade, brick in several colors and textures, and a sloping flat roof. While it originally had a full length front porch, this one is not the original. The four lunette-shaped windows in the frieze feature shield-shaped panes. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>

<p>The Orson Grimmett Bungalow was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The house was deemed "locally significant for its association with a prominent local builder whose work is still visible in Paris and surrounding towns. Grimmett also owned and operated the Star Confectionery, a 1920s soda fountain. His house at Twenty-eight West Second North, which he built himself, is a strikingly unpretentious, simple plan. The standard bungalow shape is only slightly embellished with purlins and brackets, and the shallow bays and dormers do little to deny the buildings boxy massing. Like the Paris LDS Seminary that Grimmett built during this period, the Grimmett bungalow belies a conservative, formulaic, and classicizing bent in LDS architecture, which may be traced from the nineteenth century folk architecture through the twentieth century forms. The Grimmett bungalow is architecturally significant as an owner-built expression of this Mormon esthetic."</p><br>
<p>Soda Springs City Hall, located at 109 S. Main St. in Soda Springs, Idaho was built in 1902. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>It has also been known as Soda Springs City Police Station. The building was deemed "historically significant as it is the only extant building associated with the early village government of one of Idahos oldest cities, and which housed the civic offices for three quarters of a century. Architecturally, it is one of the few remaining examples of a vernacular style using lava rock, an abundant local building material. It is also one of the few remaining buildings with a boomtown false front, although this was once a prevalent feature of Soda Springs commercial streetscape."</p><br>
<p>Roosevelt Park is a historic park in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties The park was built between 1933 and 1935 by manual laborers employed by President Franklin D. Roosevelts New Deal programs, turning a sandy arroyo filled with garbage into a rolling, grassy landscape planted with over 2,000 trees and bushes. It has long been one of the citys most popular gathering and recreation areas, although it also developed a reputation as a dangerous area beginning in the 1960s. The park received a major renovation in 2006–7.</p><br>
<h2>Landscape</h2><br>
<p>Roosevelt Park occupies an irregularly shaped, 14 acre plot south of Coal Avenue between Spruce and Maple Streets. The northern part of the park is bounded by city streets, while the southern part is surrounded by a paved drive which is no longer open to traffic. The park terrain consists of a series of irregular hollows, mostly sitting below the level of the surrounding streets, with a vertical relief of about 50 ft between the lowest and highest points. The main canopy is formed by mature Siberian elm trees up to 80 ft in height, with other vegetation including juniper, blue spruce, and catalpa trees and bushes scattered throughout.</p><br>
<p>Amenities at the park include a playground and disc golf course.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the 1930s, Albuquerque was experiencing rapid growth east of Downtown in the area then known as the East Mesa. The idea of building a park in the growing eastern suburbs was supported by Clyde Tingley, who was the Chairman of the City Commission at the time and was an advocate of parks and other civic improvements.</p><br>
<p>Tingley pieced together land for the project from one block of the Terrace Addition, which he persuaded the developer to donate, and an adjacent parcel belonging to Albuquerque Public Schools. The chosen site was a sandy arroyo which had previously been used as a landfill.</p><br>
<p>The park was built between 1933 and 1935 by local laborers working for the Civil Works Administration (CWA), Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA), and Works Progress Administration (WPA)—federal employment programs created as part of Franklin D. Roosevelt&#39;s New Deal. The total cost of the project was about $120,000. Originally known as Terrace Park, it was renamed for Roosevelt in 1934.</p><br>
<p>Although one of Albuquerque&#39;s most popular gathering places, Roosevelt Park developed a reputation as a dangerous area during the 1960s and 70s, with numerous violent incidents as well as ongoing issues with drug use and underage drinking. Nearby residents petitioned for improved lighting and a curfew in 1965, citing nighttime disturbances "ranging from shouts to screaming and calls for help". The ongoing trouble at Roosevelt Park and other city parks led the Albuquerque Police Department to establish an undercover "park patrol" unit in the late 1960s. Relations between the police and park-goers were tense, leading to incidents of rock-throwing and finally a full-blown riot in 1971 after police tried to arrest some teenagers for drinking beer in the park. The riot spread across the city, ultimately causing over $3 million in damage and 41 injuries.</p><br>
<p>Another much-publicized violent incident occurred in 1992, when three people were injured by gunfire during a barbecue being held by the well-known rapper MC Hammer and his entourage. By 2003 the park was still considered unsafe by neighborhood residents, and its physical condition had deteriorated significantly as well. This led the city to embark on a $2 million renovation project which included pruning trees, replacing the irrigation system, installing a playground and jogging path, and landscaping work. The project was completed in summer 2007 after 10 months of work. The park has continued to be associated with protests and activism, including hosting a large demonstration against police brutality in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Capt. Nicholas W. and Emma Johnson House is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. The house is significant for its being an unusual example in Des Moines of Châteauesque design elements added to a late Queen Anne style house. The design was attributed to Des Moines architect Oliver O. Smith, and it was built by local contractor Charles Weitz. This 2½-story brick structure features large massing, a prominent front-facing gable, two full-height polygonal side bays, steeply pitched hipped roof, smooth and rough wall surfaces, contrasting courses, and the fleur-de-lis motif executed in stone, ceramic tile, and glass.</p><br>
<p>The house was built for Nicholas and Emma Johnson. He was a sea captain who later farmed in Madison County before he and his second wife Emma settled here in her hometown. While it was built as a single-family house, it was converted into a funeral home in 1933 and it remained as such at least into the 1990s. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Rev. R.W. and Fannie E. Keeler House, also known as the Henry C. Borzo House, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. The house is significant for its being one of the best examples in Des Moines of the attic balcony gable subtype of the Stick Style. It was built by local contractor-builder Detwiler and Bedford in 1889 as speculative housing. Most residential construction in Des Moines was in small developments between about 1880 and 1941, and this house was a part of one such development. This 2½-story frame structure shows its Stick Style influence with a hip and gabled roof, decorative trussed attic balconies that are supported by large decorative brackets, wide bracketted overhanging eaves, and wood clapboard walls with decorative patterns of horizontal boards. The property also contains a barn from the same time period, but it has been significantly altered over the years and now serves as a garage. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>The Reverend Richard W. Keeler was a Methodist minister who founded several congregations in Iowa. He was also the first president of Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa. The New York native began his ministry there before moving west. He and his wife Fannie retired to this house in Des Moines to be near their children.</p><br>
<p>The Francis M. Kirkham House is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It is a two-story dwelling that follows an irregular plan. It features a hipped roof with gablets, decorative wood shingles in the gable end, bargeboards, reeded panels that form the cornice, a gabled bay placed at an angle, bracketted eaves, and decorative window surrounds. The property on which it stands is a part of one of ten plats that were owned by Drake University. The University sold the lot to Francis M. Kirkham in 1886, and he had the house built by 1888 and resided in it. Kirkham was a Disciples of Christ minister and editor of the Christian Oracle. He was also one of the first trustees of Drake University. Its significance is attributed to the effect of the University&#39;s innovative financing techniques upon the settlement of the area around the campus. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The Nellie and Thomas Knotts House is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. This two-story dwelling is a gabled-ell type house that features a chamfered front section with gable-end detail, fishscale shingles, and a hipped porch. The property on which it stands is one of ten plats that were owned by Drake University. The University sold this lot and two others to Adam Howell in 1886. He sold this lot to Harold R. Howell in 1891. Nellie J. and Thomas H. Knotts acquired the property in 1893, and the house was built the following year. Knotts was president of Iowa Printing Company and then became a manager of the Union Mutual Life Insurance Company. He and his wife resided here until at least 1907. Its significance is attributed to the effect of the University&#39;s innovative financing techniques upon the settlement of the area around the campus. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>Mount Bongao  is a mountain located in Bongao Island in the province of Tawi-Tawi. It is a mountain formed with six limestone pillars that serves as its 6 peaks.</p><br>
<p>Bud Bongao is inside the Bongao Peak Eco-Tourism Park which was inaugurated last July 3, 2017. It is a 250-hectare forest that is one of the last remaining moist forest in the Sulu Archipelago.</p><br>
<p>The mountain is considered sacred where it is believed that two preachers who are direct followers of Karim ul-Makhdum, are buried under what is called Tampat Rocks. Karim ul-Makhdum brought Islam to the Philippines in the year 1380.</p><br>
<h2>Physical characteristics</h2><br>
<p>Bud Bongao is composed of six limestone pillars that form six of its peaks, which serves as view points for the islands and locations they are named after. These peaks are Bongao, Pajar, Sibutu (summit), Simunul, Tambisan, and Tinondakan.</p><br>
<h2>Hiking activity</h2><br>
<p>Aside from being a sacred mountain, Bud Bongao is also famous for hikers. A 3,608-step cobblestone trail has been constructed from the jump-off at Barangay Pasiagan that ends at a view deck constructed on Tambisan Peak. The view deck offers a vantage point overlooking Celebes Sea and Tambisan Island in Sabah at 317 m above sea level.</p><br>
<h2>Endemic fauna</h2><br>
<p>Monkeys endemic to Bud Bongao include Macaca fascicularis.</p><br>
<p>The Kieferle, near Steinheid in the county of Sonneberg, is a mountain, in the Thuringian Highland and the second highest mountain of this range, which forms the eastern part of the Thuringian Forest.</p><br>
<p>To the west-southwest the valley of the Grümpen, whose eastern source lies on the mountain&#39;s western slopes, clearly separates it from the almost equally high Dürre Fichte, on whose northern and eastern mountainsides other sources are located. To the east it is bounded by the Göritz. To the north of the mountain rises the Schwarza. To the south is the 837-metre-high Rittersberg, whose eastern neighbour is the Breitenberg.</p><br>
<p>The waters of the Grümpen discharge into the River Main and then finally into the Rhine, but those of the Schwarza enter the Saale which flows into the Elbe. The mountain is thus on the watershed between the Rhine and the Elbe. The Kieferle rises south of the long-distance trail, the Rennsteig, which runs over the nearby Sandberg. The Kieferle descends to the south and is part of the Southern Heights of the Slate Mountains (Südlichen Hohen Schiefergebirge).</p><br>
<p>The Richard T.C. Lord and William V. Wilcox House is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. This 2½-story dwelling follows a crossed gable plan that features elements of both the Colonial Revival and Queen Anne styles. The Colonial Revival influence includes grouped round porch columns and a pedimented porch entry. The Queen Anne influences include its massing, the brackets at the gable end, the second story corner porch, bargeboards, shingles, and the large porch. The property on which it stands is one of ten plats that were owned by Drake University. The houses significance is attributed to the effect of the Universitys innovative financing techniques upon the settlement of the area around the campus. Lord was a realtor, one of the organizers of the University Land Company, and he was a member of the first Board of Trustees of the University. He lived here from 1888 to around 1890 when he sold it to W.V. Wilcox, an insurance agent for Hawkeye Insurance Company. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
