<p>The Minnie Y. and Frank P. Mattes House is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Its significance is attributed to its association with the prominent Des Moines architectural firm of Proudfoot, Bird & Rawson, and it calls attention to their residential work. The historic designation includes the large scale Tudor Revival house, automobile garage, and the retaining wall and entrance steps that were all constructed in 1910 for the Mattes. Both Frank and Minnie were from prominent Des Moines German-American families. He was a brewer until prohibition in the city, and he was then involved with real estate. The property was sold to Guy M. and Madeline Lambert in 1944, who sold it to the Drake University sorority Kappa Kappa Gamma in 1959. Other houses in the neighborhood were converted in a similar manner.</p><br>
<p>This is an early example of the Tudor Revival style in Des Moines, which would become the dominant architectural style in the city by the 1920s and 1930s. While the original single-family residence was completed in 1910, two additions were built onto it by the sorority in 1961 and in 1993. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>The F. F. Odenweller-James P. and Nettie Morey House is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It is a 1½-story frame cottage that follows an irregular plan. It features chamfered corners, Stick Style strips, moulded lintels, beaded corner boards, decorative shinglework, and a small front porch with a shed roof. The property on which it stands is one of ten plats that were owned by Drake University. The University sold the lot to Delos Cutler, one of the University Land Company organizers, in 1887. The next year he sold the property to F.F. Odenweller. After seven years the property was sold to A.A. Smith and O.E. Bowers. In 1896, the year the house was bult, the property was sold to J.P. Morey, and he owned it for twenty-three years. 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 William T. and Clara H. Veazie House, near Jerome, Idaho, is a lava rock structure built in 1912. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1912 by stonemason Thomas Vipham for farmer William T. and Clara H. Veazie. It is a lateral gable house which is one and one half stories tall, approximately 29x45 ft in plan.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed "architecturally significant as an early example of the use of lava rock for bungalow style houses and for its stone craftsmanship." The nomination states that it "is one of the earliest houses of stone built in Jerome County with features such as the dormer, the inset porch, and massing that place it in the bungalow tradition. At the same time it retains traces of older traditions in its enclosed eaves, flat arches above the windows, and steep roof. It shows excellent craftsmanship."</p><br>
<p>The Jedd Jones House in Malad City, Idaho was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>Its NRHP nomination asserts:The wider architectural significance of the house stems from the impression of quality evinced by its precise and well-preserved rendering and architectural detail. It is as fine an example as any in the state—its effectiveness in this regard is reduced only by the overall white paint which obscures the modestly polychromatic exterior which the red brick together with the white gables would once have displayed—of what we have called the Queen-Anne-goingWestern-Colonial-style, That is, it illustrates very aptly the movement from the asymmetrical and visually elaborate Queen-Anne style, which was popular in Idaho&#39;s upper-class residential architecture during the last decade of the 19th century, and towards the more symmetrical and severe Western Colonial, which was popular throughout the state in the first decade of the twentieth; the transitional and later styles are more prevalent in slower-developing, agrarian southeast Idaho than is the earlier one.</p><br>
<p>Silver Lake is a long and narrow natural freshwater lake on the border between Hernando County, Florida, and Sumter County, Florida. This lake is surrounded by the Withlacoochee State Forest. On the south shore are the Silver Lake Campgrounds. A public boat ramp on the lake shore is within the campgrounds. On the northwest this lake is bounded by Interstate 75. The entire shore of Silver Lake is forested. A small almost round islet, 60 ft long by 50 ft wide, is in the southeast corner of the lake, just offshore. Sometimes sandbars are nearby. The Withlacoochee River flows into the lake and out the other end.</p><br>
<p>While this lake has a public boat ramp it has no public swimming beach. There is no information about the types of fish in this lake in online sites.</p><br>
<p>The Großer Ehrenberg is a mountain, and the highest peak in the Thuringian part of the Harz mountains. It is also the highest point of the county of Nordhausen in Germany.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The Großer Ehrenberg lies in the South Harz within the South Harz Nature Park. It rises around 2.5 kilometres west of Rothesütte and about 3.5 kilometres north-northwest of Sülzhayn, which both belong to Ellrich. To the north the terrain drops into the valley of the Großer Kunzenbach and, to the west, into the valley of the Kleiner Kunzenbach which each flow along the border between Thuringian and Lower Saxony and merge to form the Kunzenbach immediately west of, and below, the mountain. The eastern spur of the mountain is the Dornkopf. This spur and the Großer Ehrenberg itslet are passed by the Landesstraße 1014, which branches off the Bundesstraße 4 between the tripoint of the states of Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia und Rothesütte and runs from there roughly in a north-south direction to Sülzhayn. Both peaks are accessible inter alia from this road on forest tracks.</p><br>
<h2>Inner-German Border</h2><br>
<p>The old Inner German Border used to run along the valleys of the Großer Kunzenbach and Kleiner Kunzenbach to the north and west of, and below, the Großer Ehrenberg. However, the Iron Curtain, including the convoy track, ran right over the summit. Today the German Green Belt runs over the mountain. To the northeast of the peak on the former Inner German Border at the tripoint of the three states is the Dreiländerstein.</p><br>

<p>The Cave of Horror is the name given to Cave 8 in the Judaean Desert, where the remains of Jewish refugees from the Bar Kokhba revolt were found. The cave lies in the southern cliff of Nahal Hever, adjacent to the Cave of Letters located on the northern cliff of the river, where many documents from the Bar Kokhba revolt were uncovered.</p><br>
<p>In the Cave of Horror, there were fewer finds since they were explored by Bedouins before Yigael Yadin&#39;s excavation of the site in 1960. The nickname "Cave of Horror" was given after the skeletons of 40 men, women and children were discovered.</p><br>
<p>Later on, a number of fragments of letters and writings were discovered in the cave, among them were a number of Bar Kokhba coins and a Greek copy of the Book of the Twelve. Three potsherds with the names of three of the deceased were also found alongside the skeletons in the cave. At the top of the cliff above the cave were the ruins of a Roman camp, similar to the one found above the Cave of Letters. It was used for the Roman siege of the Jews hiding in the Cave of Horror.</p><br>

<p>Eagar Townsite Historic District is a section of the town of Eagar, Arizona which has been designated a National Historic Place. Sitting on roughly 54 acres, the site contains 37 structures, 21 of which have historical significance. The period of significance is from 1886, the year the townsite was founded, through 1942, which represents the significant period of development of the town. The site was added to the Register on July 23, 1993.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Mormon church leaders in Salt Lake City consolidated the Omer and Amity wards into the Union Ward in 1886, the ward was centered on the newly formed townsite of Eagar. The town had been founded by three brothers: John T., William, and Joel Eagar. The Eager brothers had come to the Round Valley area along the Little Colorado in 1879, settling near Springerville in 1882. By 1885 they had relocated further south to the land which would become Eagar. The original townsite was divided as per the Mormon City of Zion concept. That concept was for every square mile was broken up into ten-acre square blocks separated by streets of 132 foot widths. The blocks were then further divided into half-acre lots, each 66 feet wide, creating 20 lots, ten on a side. While Eagar followed the general concept, the blocks and streets were slightly smaller, approximately 500 foot square and 90 foot wide, respectively. An irrigation system was developed, utilizing water from the Little Colorado River by way of the "Big Ditch" canal. The irrigation system is one of the most extensive of any Mormon community in Arizona. In approximately 1890 the oldest structure still extant in the historic district, the Harry Colter house was built at 22 West 2nd Avenue.</p><br>
<p>During the 1900s, three more of the contributing structures to the historic site were constructed: the William La Sueur House at 287 North Main Street, a folk house at 36 West Central Avenue, and a barn at 236 North Main Street were constructed.</p><br>
<p>In 1910, Eagar was the third most populous town in Apache County, with 397 citizens in the 1910 census. Through most of the 1910s, through the end of World War I, the town prospered and grew, with an economy based on timber, cattle, sheep, and wool. The economy went into a slump with the collapse of commodity prices at the end of the World War, but the town had grown to 635 people by the 1920 census. In 1916 the Grapevine social hall, one of the contributing buildings to the present historic site, was constructed. Initially it was used for various social and community functions, such as dances, plays, benefits, and even served as a school classroom. When the township&#39;s high school opened, it became their basketball court in the 1920s. It was also the first electrically-building in Eagar in 1927. In addition to the Grapevine structure, the 1910s also saw the construction of two other contributing buildings, both folk houses; one at 286 North Eagar Street and the other at 81 North Eagar Street.</p><br>
<p>Ten of the contributing properties of the historic district were built during the 1920s: seven bungalow-style houses, a folk house, a commercial building and a barn. The barn was part of the Joe Udall homestead, which consisted of an adobe house and the barn, which at the time was the largest barn in the town. The last three contributing buildings were all constructed around 1930. They were pueblo revival style house located at 266 North Main Street, a pueblo revival style duplex which sits at 28 North Main Street, and the Spanish colonial revival style house located at 60 East Central Avenue.</p><br>
<h2>Description of site</h2><br>
<p>The historic site consists of two discontiguous sections, separated by a city block. The northern section is irregularly shaped, stretching from northern side of Second Avenue to the northern side of Third Avenue, from Eagar street to Harless Street. The southern section is smaller, and also irregularly shaped, lying between First and Central Avenues, and from Eagar Street to just beyond Main Street. Both sections sit within the 1-1/2 mile by 1/4 mile area of the original townsite. While areas outside the historic district have seen significant development and alterations, within the two sections of the historic district much of the original historic character of the structures has been retained.</p><br>
<p>The block between the two sections of the historic site used to be filled with historic residences and the original Latter-Day Saints church. All have been demolished, and the blocks now contain the modern LDS church (east of Main Street), and a recent motel (west of Main).</p><br>
<p>Most of the historic structures lie on either Main Street (nine) or Eagar Street (seven), with the five on either Second or Central Avenues. The most northern building is a bungalow style house sitting at 313 North Main Street, while the southernmost structure is the Udall Barn. The Grapevine Hall sits on Main Street in the southern section of the site, while the Harry Colter and Leseur homes are located on Main Street in the northern section. The Leseur home is unusual in Eager in that it is constructed of red brick, and in the Georgian Revival style.</p><br>
<p>The Kulm is a hill, near Saalfeld in the German state of Thuringia. It lies east of the Saale valley at the western tip of the Saale Knee and is the local hill of the towns of Saalfeld and Rudolstadt. From the Kulm there is a panoramic view over the valleys of the Saale and Rinne, the Orla Basin, the Thuringian Highland and the Ilm-Saale Plateau. Near the Kulm are the villages of Schloßkulm and Dorfkulm, which belong to the municipalities of Uhlstädt-Kirchhasel and Unterwellenborn respectively.</p><br>
<h2>Towers</h2><br>
<p>The viewing tower on the Kulm, the 20-metre-high Kulm Tower, is one of the oldest steel lattice towers in Germany. The tower, which is protected as a monument, was built in 1884 by the Königin Marienhütte. After thorough renovation in 2012, the 18-metre-high viewing platform, which is exactly, is once again open to the public.</p><br>
<p>The transmission tower on the Kulm, a 78.8-metre-high, free-standing, lattice tower, was built in 1974. Since 1 July 2008 it has transmitted DVB-T.</p><br>
<p>Alikemek-Tepesi  is an ancient settlement located in Jalilabad District , in the Mugan plain, belonging to the Chalcolithic period, dating to c. 5000 BC. Early levels belonged to the Shulaveri-Shomu culture. It covers an area of over 1 hectare.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Materials from this site are very close to the materials obtained from monuments of northwestern Iran (Dalma ware). The artifacts of the lower level are similar to those at Kültəpə I in Nakhchivan. In the upper levels, there is also pottery of the northern Ubaid period type.</p><br>
<p>There was numerous earthenware found during the excavations. More than 300 samples of painted pottery covered with monochrome drawings were found. Most of the brown and red drawings are triangles, rhombuses, containing straight and curved lines. Many items from Alikemek-Tepesi are considered as locally produced.</p><br>
<h2>Alikemek-Kul'tepe culture</h2><br>
<p>Some archaeologists speak of the ancient Alikemek-Kul&#39;tepe culture of southeastern Caucasus, which followed the Shulaveri-Shomu culture, and covered the transition from the Neolithic to Chalcolithic periods (c. 4500 BC).</p><br>
<p>According to A. Courcier,</p><br>
<p>"Situated respectively at the border of the Mugan Steppe and in Nakhichevan (Azerbaijan), the settlements of Alikemek and Kul’tepe I were excavated in the 1950s–1970s and are not dated with certainty. They probably represent a relatively long period and occupation seems to have started early (probably during the sixth millennium BCE) (Lyonnet 2008, pp. 4–6). The Alikemek–Kul’tepe culture covered the Ararat Plain, Nakhichevan, the Mil’skoj and Mugan Steppes and the region around Lake Urmia in north-western Iran" (Kushnareva 1997, p. 33).</p><br>
<p>The Devils Postpile National Monument Ranger Cabin, in Devils Postpile National Monument is located on Minaret Summit Road, about 8 mi from the summit. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>According to its NRHP nominationAs the oldest standing building in Devils Postpile National Monument, the ranger cabin provides a unique connection to the early period of NPS planning and development at the monument. It typifies the emphasis on efficiency, creative reuse of materials, and functional construction that became a feature of national park planning and development during the late 1930s and early 1940s. The cabin also embodies the utilitarian approach to planning that formed at Devils Postpile during its early years as a subsidiary of Yosemite National Park. Initially a response to severe budget and staffing constraints, the focus on maintaining quality visitor contacts with minimal facilities became a hallmark of Devils Postpile’s administrative evolution. The ranger cabin symbolizes the continuation of this management philosophy to the present and contributes significantly to the monument’s historic character.</p><br>
<p>The George B. Peak House, also known as New Life Eternity House, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It is a 2½-story brick dwelling that features a hipped roof with a flat deck, pedimented dormers, and a portico with</p><br>

<p>in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Anson O. Reynolds House is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. This 2½-story dwelling features a hipped roof with a gablet, various gables, sunburst patterns, reeded panels, fishscale shingles, and bargeboards. 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. The University Land Company sold the property to S.B. Tuttle who was one of the first directors of</p><br>
<p>the University Land Company. He sold it to the Reynolds in 1888, and they owned it until at least 1925. The house, built in 1890, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>

This rambling mansion in the English medieval eclectic style was designed in 1925 by the Des Moines architectural firm of Boyd & Moore. It was completed the following year. The facades are a picturesque accumulation of gables, window bays, over hangs and minor projections. The roofscape is significant in defining the character of the house. Its main ridge runs the length of the structure, and it features short cross gables. The walls are a combination of brick and stucco half-timber in almost equal proportions. Together with Salisbury House, it is unique in Des Moines, and pobably the state, for literally borrowing from England&#39;s domestic medieval architecture. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>

<p>The Melrose Road Bridge is a historic bridge at the western end of Melrose Road in East Windsor, Connecticut. Built in 1888, it is one of a small number of surviving 19th-century lenticular pony truss bridge in the state. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. It has been closed for many years, and lacks stringers and decking.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Melrose Road Bridge is located in a rural area of northeastern East Windsor, at the western end of Melrose Road, where it would otherwise cross the Scantic River. This portion of the river is now part of Scantic River State Park. The bridge now consists of a wrought iron lenticular truss structure, spanning the river and mounted on brownstone abutments. The truss elements are joined by pins. The bridge measures 63 ft long and 13 ft wide, and would be capable of carrying one lane of traffic if rehabilitated. Guardrails have been welded across each of the truss&#39;s ends to impede access to the structure, which lacks any sort of decking.</p><br>
<p>The truss was built in 1888 by the Berlin Iron Bridge Company, one of New Englands leading manufacturers of iron bridge trusses of the late 19th century. The truss was purchased by the town for $750, and was assembled and mounted by George Phelps, a local contractor, for $1484. Other contractors were paid $484. At the time of its listing on the National Register in 1999, it was one of only 15 lenticular trusses remaining in the state.</p><br>
<p>Memorial Hall is a historic meeting hall at South Main and Elm Streets in Windsor Locks, Connecticut. Built in 1890 as a memorial to the towns American Civil War soldiers, it has served for most of its existence has a meeting place for veterans organizations, from the Grand Army of the Republic to the American Legion. It is also one of the town&#39;s finest examples of Romanesque architecturer, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Memorial Hall is located in the center of Windsor Locks, at the southwest corner of Elm and South Main Streets. It is a three-story stone structure, built out of gray granite in the Richardsonian Romanesque style. It is covered by a gabled roof, and has a round tower at the northeast corner, capped by a conical roof. The main facade is dominated by a round arch on the ground floor under which the main entrance is located. The second floor has four sash windows in rectangular openings, and the third has three closely set windows in the roof gable. In the interior, the ground floor has a stairwell on the left, and a central hall flanked by meeting rooms. The tower chamber was originally used as a library. The second floor houses the building&#39;s main meeting hall.</p><br>
<p>The hall was built in 1888 to a design by Frederick Savage Newman of Springfield, Massachusetts. The building was donated by Charles Chaffee, a mill owner from Monson, Massachusetts whose reason for the donation is not known. The building was constructed out of stone quarried in Monson as a memorial to Windsor Locks&#39; Civil War soldiers, and was intended for use by the Grand Army of the Republic and affiliated organizations. It has been maintained by the nearby Orthodox church, under a unique preservation restriction placed at the time of its construction requiring its continued use as a space for current and past soldiers. This restriction prevented its repurposing as town hall after World War II, by which time the GAR chapted had closed, and the church had taken over the building ownership. It is now used by a variety of veterans organizations.</p><br>

<p>The Naubuc Avenue-Broad Street Historic District encompasses a largely agrarian village area of southwestern East Hartford, Connecticut. Extending along Naubuc Avenue from the Glastonbury line to Broad Street, and along Broad to Main Street, its architecture encapsulates the area&#39;s history between the 18th and early 20th centuries. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>East Hartford consisted of largely uninhabitated agricultural lands during much of the colonial period, owned and managed by landowners who lived across the Connecticut River in Hartford. Permanent settlement began in the mid-18th-century, but did not increase substantially until after the American Revolutionary War. Naubuc Avenue was laid out around that time, running north from a ferry in Glastonbury to provide access to Keeley Cove, formed out of a meander in the river, where a shipbuilding operation was begun. Beginning in the 1830s, the area&#39;s agriculture shifted to the lucrative production of tobacco for cigars, which would remain a dominant feature of the area into the 20th century. A small silverware factory established around the same time also provided industrial employment.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is essentially linear in an L shape. Naubuc Avenue runs north from the Glastonbury line, roughly paralleling Keeley Cove to the west up to Broad Street. From that junction it runs east along Broad Street to Main Street. These streets are now surrounded by suburban development on the formerly agricultural fields, but retain a distinctively 18th and 19th-century spacing and layout. The oldest house in the district is the first to be built by John Kentfield, one of the area&#39;s first permanent residents, about 1780; a second house of his, built just a few years later, stands further up Naubuc Avenue to the north. There are several other 18th-century houses in the district, but most of its architecture dates from the mid-19th to early 20th centuries. There are several examples of the Greek Revival, and a few stylish Queen Anne Victorians. The only significant non-residential building is the 1855 Dudley Fox Silver Factory, which was built on a residential scale and has been converted into residential use.</p><br>
<p>The New Britain Opera House, also known as the Palace Theater, was a performance venue and movie house on Main Street in downtown New Britain, Connecticut. Built in 1880, it was a prominent local example of Renaissance Revival architecture, serving as an entertainment venue for about a century. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. It has since been demolished as part of local urban renewal.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The New Britain Opera House stood on the north side of New Britain&#39;s downtown, on the west side Main Street between Myrtle and Lafayette Streets. This area was separated from the 19th-century downtown in the mid-20th century by the construction of the Connecticut Route 72, a depressed limited-access highway. It was a three-story brick building with Renaissance Revival style, sharing party walls on either side with other buildings. Its front facade was divided into three sections, with the theater entrance flanked by commercial spaces on the ground floor, and two windows in each section on the upper floors. The second-floor windows were set in rectangular openings, and those on the third floor were in round-arch openings. The center section extended upward to a wall dormer with four closely set windows topped by a fully pedimented gable.</p><br>
<p>The theater was built in 1880 to a design by Robert Hill, a prominent local architect. Unusual for similar buildings in other cities, it was not built for local businessmen, but for what was termed at the time "comparatively speaking, working men" of Irish descent. It houses theatrical and vaudeville productions for many years and was eventually adapted for the showing of movies. By the time of its listing on the National Register in 1977, it had been reduced to showing X-rated films and had become isolated from the rest of the downtown by the highway construction. It was later demolished (sometime before 1994) as part of local urban renewal activities.</p><br>
<p>The Hornungskuppe  is a wooded hill, in the Thuringian Zipfel on the border of Hesse and Thuringia in Germany. It is part of the natural region of the Seulingswald.</p><br>
<p>The Hornsberg was mentioned in documents dating to the 12th century in connexion with the eponymous noble family. It belongs to the parish of Widdershausen in the borough of Heringen in the Hessian county of Hersfeld-Rotenburg and the parish of Dankmarshausen in Thuringian Wartburgkreis. The border between the two German states runs over the hill.</p><br>
<p>The Hornungskuppe is (still) used for forestry. The fenced in terrain on which the spoil tip of Monte Kali stands begins on its western slopes. Barely 500 metres to the northeast on a spur of the Hornungskuppe stands Hornsberg Castle.</p><br>
<p>The Samuel A. and Margaret Stevenson House is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. This is the best preserved</p><br>
<p>example of the residential architecture that combines the Stick and Eastlake styles in the city. In the suburban areas of the city in the late 19th century this was one the most common residential styles. Most of them have been either demolished, significantly altered, or lost most of their character by being covered over with siding. The Stevensons bought the property in 1889 from the Vermont Syndicate, who developed Kingman Place. They mortgaged the property for $2,687.50 to the syndicate immediately after they bought it, probably for them to build their house for them from a pattern book or stock plan design. The two-story wood frame structure features exterior walls of painted clapboards, vertical and horizontal trim boards, and capped with a crossgabled roof. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. Richard and Paulina Stuart House is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. This 2½-story frame dwelling follows an irregular plan and features a hipped roof, gablet, and various gables. 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. The property was bought by Mary A. Scott and her husband in 1889 from E.N. Curl, a stockholder in the University Land Company. They sold part of the lot in 1891 to Dr. Richard and Paulina D. Stuart. The house was built by 1895. The Stuarts continued to own the property until 1907. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>Fossil Oregon Short Line Depot in Kemmerer, Wyoming was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>The station was moved to its current location in 1902 due to trains overshooting it at its previous location due to too much slope; the entire town of Fossil moved along with the station. It is located about.4 mi. WNW of the junction of US 30 and County Rd. 300. The station is a 24x80 ft variation on the standard Union Pacific 24x64 plan, expanded to be longer in 1902 after the move. A Western Union Telegraph office was located in the station, in addition to the depot having a passenger area, a freight storage area, and living quarters for the station master and his family.</p><br>
<p>The listing also includes an outhouse/coal storage outbuilding.</p><br>
<p>The Mrs. Marian D. Vail-Prof. Charles Noyes Kinney House is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. This 2½-story frame dwelling follows an irregular plan and features a truncated hipped roof, various gables, a shed-roofed front porch with turned columns, fishscale shingles, and reeded panels along the gable ends. 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. Marian Vail acquired the property in 1884, and the house was built in 1889. Her daughter Jennie was a Drake student at that time. Charles Noyes Kinney, who bought the house in 1914, taught chemistry at the University for 30 years and served as the State Chemist for around 15 years. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>By the time of its historical nomination, it had lost its residential location and was surrounded by University buildings. It has subsequently been moved to 1056 26th Street, which is still part of the ten original plats of land laid out by the University Land Company.</p><br>
<p>The Charles H. and Lena May Weitz House is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. This 1½-story frame dwelling features a gable-front-and-wing configuration, a front porch located in the el of the facade, a single-story bay window on the south elevation, a dormer window on the facade, and steeply pitched roofs. Behind the house is a two-story, brick outbuilding. It is one of the few brick out buildings in the neighborhood. Both were constructed about 1891 by Charles H. Weitz for his home and his workshop. He was a partner and elder son of the founder of Charles Weitz & Sons, which was a prominent Des Moines construction firm in the late 19th and early 20th-century. During his tiime with the company, Charles H. Weitz "introduced modern methods of construction to this family business, thereby assuring its potential for growth." The Weitz Company grew to become a nationally recognized full-service general contractor. The house and outbuilding were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>West Chester, also known as the D.S. Chamberlain House and Wesley Acres, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Designed by Boston architect William George Rantoul, it is considered an excellent example of Jacobethan Revival architecture in the city. David S. Chamberlain moved his patent medicine business to Des Moines in 1881, and it grew to become one of the five largest pharmaceutical and toiletry manufacturing firms in the United States. Chamberlain lived in a farmhouse on the property when this house was built from 1901 to 1903. It was featured in a couple of publications after its completion. The inspiration for the house&#39;s design were the half timbered homes in Chester, England. It features five gables and dormers on the main facade that rise above the ridged roofline and three tall chimneys with separate shafts for each flue. There are two gabled wings on the south elevation of the house. It was sold in 1949 and converted into a home for the aged. The front yard, drive and the house are that remain of the estate. The rest is taken up by newer construction. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Dalton Township Bridge is a historic bridge over an unnamed stream on 446th Avenue in rural Turner County, South Dakota, north of Marion. Built in 1936, 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 Dalton Township Bridge is located in rural northwestern Turner County, about 2 mi north of Marion. It carries 446th Avenue, a rural dirt road, across an unnamed stream between 271st and 272nd Streets, a short way south of its crossing of the West Fork Vermilion River. It is a small double-arch stone structure, with two arches each 10 ft in length and 4 ft in height. A headwall rises above the arch on each side, and extends into angled wing walls. It is built out of local split fieldstone, mostly granite and gneiss, with crudely shaped voussoirs.</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 1936 by a county crew to a standardized state design.</p><br>
<p>Trent-Beaver House is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. This single-story, brick, American Craftsman dwelling was completed in 1917 by the John Martin Company. It was as a single family dwelling built for the Central Land & Real Estate Company, which was a partnership of the brothers Francis E. Trent and John G. Trent. In 1923 it was converted into a mixed use building by Doctors Lincoln and Elizabeth Beaver, who were both chiropractors. They converted the front room into their office and lived in the rest of the house. They remained here until 1940. The house is significant for a couple of reasons. First, it call attention to the importance of small real estate developers and contractor-builders in the suburban residential development of Des Moines during the 1910s. Secondly, it calls attention to the importance of the streetcar in stimulating higher land use along its routes. The Trent-Beaver House was located along the 6th Avenue streetcar line, which helped the conversion of this single-family dwelling into a professional office. It was part of a wider movement of professional services from the central business district to the suburban areas that public transportation made possible. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>Ilhéu Gabado is an islet in the Gulf of Guinea and is one of the smaller islands of São Tomé and Príncipe. Ilhéu Gabado forms no part of the nearby Obo Natural Park. The islet is located 410 m west of the island of São Tomé. Its length is 360 m east to west and its width is 95 m. The entire terrain is completely forested. During the Ice Age, it formed a part of the island of São Tomé up to around 4,000 to 2,000 BC. Due north is another islet known as São Miguel.</p><br>
<p>The islet is not inhabited by humans. Fauna dominate the island, the dominant are just birds and of the sea including fishes and crustaceans. The islet is of volcanic origin and has no separate volcanic vent from nearby São Tomé but formed from.</p><br>
<p>The islet was discovered by the Portuguese in January 1471 when the nearby island of São Tomé was also discovered.</p><br>
<p>The Revolutionary War Campsite is a historic archaeological site in West Hartford, Connecticut. It was the site of a 1778 encampment of Continental Army soldiers during the American Revolutionary War. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The site is located in a wooded area on the grounds of the Metropolitan District Commission, near the southern end of Reservoir #6, part of the Greater Hartford area public water supply. It is wooded, and the only significant surface remains at the site are ruins of stone-lined fireplaces. The site was long thought, without supporting evidence, to have been the location of an encampment by the French Army under Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, comte de Rochambeau, during its march across Connecticut in 1780 and 1781; but detailed documentation of the movements of Rochambeau&#39;s movements shows that French forces never encamped in what is now West Hartford.</p><br>
<p>However, three brigades of the Continental Army were stationed in and near Hartford area in 1778, as a result of General George Washington&#39;s worry that British Army forces shipping out of New York City were preparing to raid Connecticut communities. Two brigades, one commanded by Enoch Poor and the other by Ebenezer Learned, were ordered to the area in October 1778. Newspaper reports of the period and a contemporaneous journal kept by an officer of the 1st New Hampshire Regiment indicate that American soldiers camped at this location from October 15-21, 1778. The area was thereafter used as a military hospital.</p><br>
<p>The Maish House is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. George H.

<p>The Home of Marshalls Horseradish, also known as the Marshall House, Stish House, and Marshalls Horseradish Farm, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. The historic designation is made up of three resources: the two-story frame Queen Anne house, the garage, and the remains of the root cellar. They call attention to food processing for local consumption during the late 19th and early 20th-centuries. Marshall&#39;s is said to have been established as a business in 1872, and they cultivated, manufactured, and marketed horseradish condiments. The single-family house was completed in 1886. The property includes four residential lots and at one time was also the location of a small manufacturing facility . At one time the family owned 160 acres around 2nd Place. While it is possible that some of that land was used to grow the horseradish, the exact location of their fields is not known for sure and the four residential lots are not large enough. The business came to an end in 1941, and the family sold the property to the city of Des Moines who built a greenhouse on the property. George Daysons, the city forist, and his wife lived in the house. The house, garage, and root cellar were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>

<p>The Necropolis of Cyrene is a necropolis, about 10 square kilometres sized, and located between Cyrene, Libya and the ancient port of Apollonia at the western slope of the Wadi Haleg Shaloof hill, with terraced archaic tombs, near the ancient road to Appolonia. The necropolis is today partially lost, parts were bulldozed in 2013. The UNESCO classified the site in 1982 as a World Heritage, and added Cyrene in 2017 to its List of World Heritage in Danger.</p><br>
<h2>General</h2><br>
<p>Earliest traces of Cyrene date back to about 700 BC, it is considered to be the oldest and largest Greek colony in eastern Libya. It is believed that the ancient, now extinct plant Silphium only grew in the Cyrene region.</p><br>
<p>In 2013 the local archaeology professor Ahmed Hussein from Bayda University noted:</p><br>
<p>James Hamilton described the Necropolis of Cyrene in his visit 1856:</p><br>
<h2>Excavations</h2><br>
<p>Excavations began in the 19th century, or earlier. Richard Norton excavated the site in 1911. Rowe, found fragments of a Ptolemaic cinerary urn, a Theia figure, and surveyed, excavated tombs there between 1952 to 1957. Rowe was the first to make an extensive archaeological study of the Necropolis of Cyrene, however, many artifacts from his excavations, and from Oliverio in 1925, are today considered to be lost. Burton Brown excavated two sarcophagi and a Roman burial in 1947. Beschi excavated two tombs in 1963.</p><br>
<p>The Ottawa East Side Historic District is a residential historic district in eastern Ottawa, Illinois. The district is located on a peninsula formed by the confluence of the Fox River and Illinois River and is only connected to the rest of Ottawa by a single bridge. The areas relative isolation caused the citys businesses and industries to avoid building there, and as a result the district became almost entirely residential. Construction in the East Side began in 1848, when developer Henry Green built his home there, and continued rapidly through the 19th century; after a brief slowdown at the turn of the century, development continued in the 1910s and 1920s before stopping almost entirely during the Great Depression. The neighborhood was one of the most desirable in the city, and Ottawas upper class built many large homes there; however, it also includes several smaller middle-class houses. The Greek Revival, Italianate, and Queen Anne styles are all well-represented in the districts larger and more formal homes, while many vernacular styles can be seen in the smaller homes.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Hauge Lutheran Church is a historic Lutheran church located at 3656 E. 2631st Road in Norway, Illinois. The church was built in 1847 for Norways Lutheran congregation; the community had been founded thirteen years earlier as part of the Norwegian settlement of the Fox River Valley. The Norwegian Americans settling the Fox River Valley came from a short-lived settlement in New York and were supplemented by new Norwegian immigrants in the following years; the Fox River Valley is considered the first permanent Norwegian settlement in the United States. Minister Elling Eielsen, a follower of the Hauge Synod, established the first Norwegian Lutheran congregation in the United States at Norway in 1839. When the congregations original log church burned down, they built the Hauge Lutheran Church as its replacement. The church served as a focal point of the Norwegian community until its congregation merged into another church in 1918. The building is now home to the Norsk Museum, a museum of Norwegian culture founded in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 26, 2016.</p><br>
<p>The Isaacson Building is a two story commercial structure, built in 1918 of local granite. It is located in St. Johns, Arizona in Apache County.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>By the mid-1500s, the Little Colorado River Valley was settled by a predominately Mexican population. There were several small towns in existence by the 1870s, including El Vadito, which would be renamed first San Juan, and later St. Johns. It is the only one of these early settlements still extant. Mormons from Utah begin to immigrate to the valley during the 1860s-1880s, with the intent of establishing a Mormon Church along the Little Colorado River. They intermingled in El Vadito with the existing Mexican population. Also during this period, the town grew with an inflow of cattlemen, farmers, and sheepherders. In 1879, the now named St. Johns was designated the country seat of the newly formed Apache County.</p><br>
<p>In 1876, Isaac Isaacson emigrated to Brigham City, Arizona, near present day Winslow. When that town failed, he moved north of St. Johns in 1882, and at the turn of the century he moved into St. Johns proper. In 1918, using local materials which his companies provided, he constructed the Isaacson Building on Commercial Street in St. Johns. The construction was done by a local builder, Genaro Acosta.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The building is a rectangular-shaped two-story structure, measuring 30 feet in width and 80 feet in depth. It is constructed of textured granite which was quarried locally, the stone is set in even courses, and forms a rusticated stone façade with a stepped parapet. The National Park Service report states, "Of particular interest is the variegated nature of the stone which, in combination with the rough texture, adds a visual complexity to the otherwise straightforward facade." Centered on the level directly below the parapet is a carved inscription which gives the year of the building&#39;s construction: 1918. There are five bays facing the street (the north side), with a raised central entry with double doors. The entry is flanked by two plate glass display windows to the east and a single plate window to the west, along with an entry to the second floor. This second entry has a double transom which includes a detailed leaded glass window. The upper floor has four one-over-one sash windows with stone sills and lintels. The west side has three small windows set high and towards the front of the first floor, a narrow doorway approximately two-thirds of the way towards the rear, and then paired one-over-one sash windows. The second story has six one-over-one sash units, unevenly spaced. All windows on this side have stone lintels and sills. The south side of the building has a single door entry, slightly off-center, flanked by paired double-hung windows on either side. The second story also includes a single door entry, flanked by two unequally sized windows. The door used to lead out onto a wooden porch. As with the west side, all the windows have stone sills and lintels. The east wall is contiguous with the building next door. The shallow gable roof cannot be seen due to the parapet wall.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the building consists of two floors. The first floor has a hardwood floor, finished plaster walls, and a pressed metal ceiling. The floor is divided by a square concrete posts with a central beam, creating two bays. The second floor has two large rooms in the front of the building, with an additional ten smaller rooms, five on either side of a central corridor. The second floor also has hardwood floors and plaster walls. There is also an attic and basement.</p><br>
<p>The United States Post Office and Court House is a historic federal building located at 201 North Vermilion Street in Danville, Illinois. The building was built in 1911 to serve as Danvilles post office and a district courthouse for the Eastern District of Illinois. The building has a Renaissance Revival design, which was in keeping with Supervising Architect of the Treasury James Knox Taylors preference for classically inspired styles. The limestone building&#39;s symmetrical front features a row of arched windows flanked by an entrance pavilion at each corner. A dentillated cornice circles the building above its second floor, and pediments along the roof top each entrance. The U-shaped interior of the building features wood and marble ornamentation and terrazzo floors.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 22, 2016.</p><br>
<p>The Chaîne du Thaljah is a range of mountains in the Gafsa Governorate of Tunisia. Huge deposits of phosphates were found at the base of the chain on 1885.</p><br>
<h2>Exploration</h2><br>
<p>The line of mountains runs in a roughly east-west direction from Gafsa in Tunisia to Negrine in Algeria, crossing the border not far from the small oasis of Tamerza.</p><br>
<p>The highest point is the Jebel-Bliji.</p><br>
<p>On the north side, at a place called Es Safia 5.5 km south-southeast of Tamerza, a rock painting was found on an overhanging rock wall at the entrance of a deep ravine.</p><br>
<p>It depicts animals and men in silhouette, in blood on a yellow-ochre background, all slightly glazed.</p><br>
<p>It was probably made by Berbers between the stone and bronze ages.</p><br>
<p>In 1885–86 the geologist Philippe Thomas explored the southern area of Tunisia between the meridian of Kairouan and the Saharan chotts, covering a vast area. He also explored the western area, which his colleagues had neglected, particularly the Chaîne du Thaljah or Chaîne du Tseldja mountains that stretch westward from Gafsa into Algeria.</p><br>
<p>He identified the geology of the Gafsa chain with that of the M&#39;fatah massif in Algeria and on 18 April 1885 found phosphates at Jebel Tselja.</p><br>
<p>Thomas observed that at the junction of the Cretaceous limestone axis of the chain with its Eocene foundations there was a dark marl and a brown or greenish-gray limestone with a tricalcium phosphate content that averaged 60%.</p><br>
<p>This was found where the Jebel Tseldja opens into the plain at Fous-Tseldja, near Métlaoui.</p><br>
<p>Marquette Apartments is a historic apartment building located at 701 Main Street in Peoria, Illinois. The building was built in 1924 to help meet the need for housing in downtown Peoria, as the number of downtown workers looking for housing near their jobs was growing rapidly. Peoria architects Hewitt & Emerson designed the apartments; while the firm was known for its classically inspired designs, they produced a more modern design for the building. The building has a three-story mixed-use layout, with commercial space on the first floor and residential space on the upper two; unlike smaller mixed-use buildings, the apartments have internal corridors and common entrances for residents. It is the only building of its type remaining in downtown Peoria.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 27, 2016.</p><br>

Its proximity to this transportation corridor illustrates the emergence of higher and denser residential use in this area of Des Moines. It is also significant for its association with the Des Moines architectual firm of Liebbe, Nourse & Rasmussen who designed it. The apartment building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>

<p>It is a one-room one-story brick building. It was deemed "historically significant as a local manifestation of the gradual distinction between church and civil government that developed in Mormon political and religious thought during the turn-of-the-century period. The building is architecturally significant as an example of the transition from Italianate to Colonial Revival forms for institutional buildings in Idaho during the period between about 1890 and 1905. The building also reveals the stylistic preference for Colonial Revival forms in southeast Idaho&#39;s Mormon communities, a preference that existed throughout the first half of the twentieth century. The building provides a good example of early brickwork in the region."</p><br>
