<p>Cox Bluff is the ocean end of the New Harbour Range, on the south coast of Tasmania. It is situated on the west side of Cox Bight, and east of New Harbour, located at the south-west corner of Tasmania, Australia.</p><br>
<p>The Bluff is located on the south coast of the Southwest National Park, part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, approximately 140 km southwest of Hobart in Tasmania, and about 65 km west and a little north of the South East Cape.</p><br>
<p>The cape is bound to the south by the Southern Ocean and is located east of South West Cape. It is located in climbing websites as being 322 m or 1056 ft in height</p><br>
<p>Peter Dombrovskis had utilised a climb of the range to get photographs of the Cox Bight beach in 1987.</p><br>
<p>Turgeon Lake is a freshwater body located in the Northwest province of Quebec, in Canada. This body of water straddles the municipalities of:</p><br>
<p>Eeyou Istchee Baie-James (municipality) (township of Lavergne), in Jamésie, in the administrative region of Nord-du-Québec</p><br>
<p>Chazel, Quebec (township of Chazel) in the Regional County Municipality (RCM) of Abitibi-Ouest, in the administrative region of Abitibi-Témiscamingue.</p><br>
<p>The demarcation line of the two administrative regions of Quebec passes in the middle of southeastern part of Lake Turgeon.</p><br>
<p>Forestry is the main economic activity of the sector; recreational tourism activities, second.</p><br>
<p>This hydrographic slope is served on the west side by the Conquerors road (North-South direction) and a forest road “Chemin de la presqu’île” (East-West direction) serving a peninsula of the South shore. The resort has developed on the southern shore of the bay between the mouth of the Lavergne River and the peninsula advancing to the North.</p><br>
<p>Annually, the lake surface is generally frozen from mid-November to late April, however, the period of safe ice circulation is usually from mid-December to mid-April.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<h2>Toponymy</h2><br>
<p>In the past, this lake was designated "Nigigwadinibi Lake" by the Native Americans of the Algonquin Nation, meaning "lake with cold crystallized waters". The names of the bays and islands are all of Algonquin origin.</p><br>
<p>The toponym "Lac Turgeon" was made official on December 5, 1968 by the Commission de toponymie du Québec, when it was created.</p><br>
<p>Macamic Lake is a freshwater body of the municipalities of Macamic, Authier-Nord and Chazel in the Regional County Municipality  of Abitibi-Ouest, in the administrative region of Abitibi-Témiscamingue, in Quebec, in Canada.</p><br>
<p>Lake Macamic is surrounded by a mainly agricultural area. The surface of this body of water is generally frozen from mid-November to the end of April; however, the period of safe ice traffic is usually from mid-December to the end of March.</p><br>
<p>The arrival of the Transcontinental Railway to Macamic in 1916 (passing south of Macamic Lake) and La Sarre, Quebec in 1917 contributed greatly to the colonization of this area. Pioneers of lots awarded in the area usually arrived by train from the Mauricie or the Capitale-Nationale region. For example, the pioneers were getting off the train at Macamic, south of Macamic Lake, with their livestock, settlements and provisions. Then, they used boats to cross Macamic Lake and take the La Sarre River to their respective lot in the area of Chazel. These pioneers were generally supplied by the train by their extended family who lived in Mauricie.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Lake Macamic is supplied with water by:</p><br>
<p>East side (Bellefeuille Bay): Macamic River, Little Bellefeuille River, Royal-Roussillon Creek</p><br>
<p>East side (Perron Bay): a small unnamed river</p><br>
<p>South side: Lois River which flows to the village of Macamic.</p><br>
<p>On the north side of the lake, the lakes "De Courval" and "Piton" are surrounded by marsh areas that drain into the La Sarre River. The mouth of Lake Macamic is located at the bottom of a bay on the north side. Its outfall is the La Sarre River which runs 3.3 km to the northwest, 22 km to the west, then 23 km to the south to flow into the La Sarre Bay, of Abitibi Lake.</p><br>
<h2>Toponymy</h2><br>
<p>The geographer Hormisdas Magnan attests that the name "Macamic" is of Algonquin origin meaning "amazing ". Other historians attribute to it rather the meaning of "lame beaver" to this name; the component "mak" means "disabled" and "amik" is associated with "beaver". The graph "Makamik" has long been in use.</p><br>
<p>The toponym "Macamic Lake" was formalized on December 5, 1968 at the Bank of Place Names of the Commission de toponymie du Québec.</p><br>
<p>The Maine is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. This three-story, brick structure was completed in 1913. It features 18 units, an "H" plan, a series of ribbon windows, stone lintels and decorative stone trimming. At the rear of the property is a two-story brick automobile garage that shares the historic designation with the apartment building. The date of its construction is uncertain. The building is located on Sixth Avenue, which by the turn of the 20th century had become a major route utilzed by vehicular traffic and streetcar lines. Its proximity to this transportation corridor illustrates the emergence of higher and denser residential use in this area of Des Moines. The apartment building and garage were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>The Daneville Township Bridge No. E-26 is a historic stone arch bridge over an unnamed stream on 457th Avenue in rural Turner County, South Dakota, south of Viborg. Built in 1935, 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 1999.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Daneville Township Bridge is located in rural western Turner County, about 6 mi south of Viborg. It carries 457th Avenue, a rural dirt road, across an unnamed stream between 269th Street and South Dakota Highway 16. It is a small single-arch stone structure, its arch 8 ft in length and 3 ft in height. A headwall rises above the arch on each side, and extends into angled wing walls. It is built out of local quartzite fieldstone, with concrete coping topping the headwalls.</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 1935 (as evidence by an incised marking on its side) by a county crew to a standardized state design.</p><br>
<p>The Hugh Roy and Lillie Cullen Building  is the central administration building of Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas. Completed in 1900, the Cullen Building was declared a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1962 and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1975, together with neighboring Mood-Bridwell Hall.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Southwestern University was formed in 1873 through the union of four earlier colleges and universities across Texas. By the 1890s the program had grown significantly, and between 1895 and 1897 the university made plans to build a permanent administration building at the entrance to the schools Georgetown, Texas campus. The building was meant to house the universitys administrative offices, as well as holding a chapel, a library, and classrooms.</p><br>
<p>The structure was initially designed by Southwestern professor Robert Stewart Hyer (a physicist, not an architect), who was inspired by the works of H. H. Richardson. Architects Layton & Raymond of Oklahoma refined the design, and the buildings construction was overseen by Hyer, who had become the universitys president by the time construction began. Work on the building began with the laying of its cornerstone on September 8, 1898. Shortages of funding delayed construction during 1899, but Southwestern&#39;s Administration Building was completed on April 23, 1900 and used for classes that autumn.</p><br>
<p>Mood Hall (named for university President Francis Asbury Mood) was subsequently built nearby as a student dormitory, with construction beginning in 1906 and completed in 1908. The hall served as a barracks for students in the Student Army Training Corps during World War I, and again for the V-12 Navy College Training Program during World War II. Since 1965, the hall has held offices for faculty and campus organizations rather than student residences.</p><br>
<p>The Administration Building was declared a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1962. Together with Mood Hall, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 23, 1975 in recognition of its architectural and historical significance.</p><br>
<h3>Renovations</h3><br>
<p>The Administration Building underwent a substantial renovation in 1976–7, which included modernization of the structure&#39;s climate control and safety features.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Cullen Building is a roughly rectangular three-story hall, clad with local white limestone on its facade, with a large square tower projecting several stories higher from the southwest corner, and a smaller round tower on the southeast corner. The building is designed in a Richardsonian Romanesque style, with rusticated stonework, cylindrical buttresses with conical caps, and round-headed Romanesque arches mixed with rectangular transom windows. The exterior walls are made of hand-laid 18 in limestone, laid by builders Flume & Waterston, who had also previously done stonework for the Texas State Capitol. As additional buildings have been added to Southwesterns campus, the Cullen Buildings architectural style has served as the standard for their design.</p><br>
<p>The main entrances are in the south facade, formed as a pair of massive stone arches set symmetrically to the sides of the central mass of the hall. The doorways and windows penetrating the limestone facade are topped with a mixture of round arches (especially on the ground floor) and transom windows. A ring of dentils surrounds the building above the third story at the roofline; above, a gray hipped roof is surmounted by a cupola.</p><br>
<h3>Tower</h3><br>
<p>One of the Cullen Buildings most prominent features is its tower, which reaches up from the halls southwest corner to form a spire overlooking the campus. The tower has a square cross-section, and protrudes slightly from the corner of the hall. Its south and west faces are penetrated by three columns of rectangular windows from the second story to the fourth; those on the second floor are topped by transom windows, while those on the third and fourth are topped by two transom windows each. The third- and fourth-story corners bear small cylindrical bartizans which terminate in conical pinnacles. Steep gabled dormers penetrate the roofline above the fourth level, framed by additional pinnacles.</p><br>
<p>The tower&#39;s interior is accessed from a third-story office by a spiral staircase, which leads up into a fourth-story room that fills the tower. Separate from the main body of the Cullen Building and windowed on all four sides, this chamber affords an elevated view of the campus and of surrounding Georgetown.</p><br>
<p>The Norman Apartment Building is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. This three-story brick structure was the first of five apartment buildings, housing 60 families, that Drake University planned to build near its campus. They would be controlled by the Universitys Board of Trustees. The Norman and the more modest McCoy Apartments were the only two buildings constructed. The building features two shades of tan brick, a considerable amount of Gothic Revival limestone trim, a Tudor arched entry, medieval lettering on a name plaque between the second and third floors, and ogee arches on some windows. The buildings significance is related to the "University&#39;s growth and development and the effect its financial policies had on nearby settlement." It is also significant for its association with the prominent Des Moines architectural firm of Proudfoot & Bird who designed it. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The Portsmouth Downtown Historic District encompasses the historic urban core of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. With a history dating to the 17th century, Portsmouth was New Hampshire&#39;s principal seaport and the center of its economy for many decades, and the architecture of its urban center is reflective of nearly four centuries of history. The district is roughly L-shaped, radiating from the downtown Market Square area to South Street in the south and Madison and Columbia streets in the west, with more than 1,200 historically significant buildings. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017. The district includes 35 previous listings on the National Register, and five National Historic Landmarks.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Portsmouth is located at the northern end of New Hampshires short seacoast, and is bounded on the north by the Piscataqua River and on the east by the island community of New Castle. Its downtown area is roughly bounded on the north and south by mill ponds, and is where the town was first settled in 1630. It was formally incorporated in 1653, and developed as New Hampshires major port. Its early economy was dominated by the lumber trade, primarily ship masts that were sent to Great Britain for use in its shipbuilding trade. Merchant trade to other parts of the Atlantic, including the slave trade, fostered further growth, and it remained a prominent port of the United States until the War of 1812. The war brought a flourish of privateering income, but after the war, trade that had been cut off was not resumed at the same level. The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (located on an island in the Piscataqua that is in neighboring Kittery, Maine) became an economic mainstay in the 19th century and early 20th centuries.</p><br>
<p>The historic district encompasses a wealth of resources associated with the economic, political, and social history of the city. It includes fine colonial-era and Federal-era residences associated with prominent local politicians and businessmen, commercial buildings spanning more than 200 years of history, and reminders of the citys importance as a maritime center. Its commercial heart extends from the northern and eastern waterfront westward to Maplewood Avenue, with period residential development extending westward nearly to Cass Street. To the south, Strawbery Banke, a living open-air history museum, preserves a portion of the citys old waterfront, and Prescott Park represents an urban renewal endeavour providing access to the waterfront area. Densely built residential areas are found between Strawbery Banke and the South Mill Pond, on whose banks stands the Portsmouth Cottage Hospital, one of the city&#39;s oldest hospital buildings.</p><br>
<p>The Darrynane Beg Ogham Stone is an ogham stone  and a National Monument located in County Kerry, Ireland.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The stone originally lay recumbent on Derrynane strand. The Office of Public Works erected it by the roadside in the 1940s.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>This stone was erected as a grave marker, with inscription in Primitive Irish, some time in the early 6th century AD.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The stone is sandstone grit, 211 × 51 × 30 cm. The inscription, heavily weathered, reads ("name of Llatigni, son of Minerc, of the tribe of Q...ci") "Llatigni" contains the diminutive particle -gno-, suggesting the name Láithbe or Láithech. Min- is also a diminutive particle, suggesting "Little Erc" (Erc Becc).</p><br>
<p>The Stanley-Woodruff-Allen House is a historic house at 37 Buena Vista Road in West Hartford, Connecticut. Built about 1752, it is one of West Hartford&#39;s oldest surviving buildings. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. It is now part of the suite of buildings of the West Hartford Art League.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Stanley-Woodruff-Allen House is located in western West Hartford, on the south side of Buena Vista Road, just east of the some of the town&#39;s athletic fields and the northern end of the Buena Vista Golf Course. It is set facing east near the road, from which it is screened by mature trees. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. The main facade is three bays wide, with symmetrical placement of windows around the center entrance. The entrance is sheltered by an enclosed shed-roof portico finished mainly in glass. The interior has been extensively altered for use as an art gallery, but it retains some original features, including window mouldings and one wall of wooden paneling. A shed-roof leanto extends to the rear, giving the building a saltbox profile; it is a later addition.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1752 by Samuel Stanley, the second of that name, for his son, also named Samuel. This was one of the first farmhouses to be built in what later became West Hartford, and is now one of its few remaining 18th-century buildings. The house was purchased by the town in 1943 as a home for the caretaker of the golf course, and was given to the West Hartford Art League in a long-term lease in 1976. The League now uses it as a gallery space aptly called the Saltbox.</p><br>
<p>The Boyt Company Building, also known as the Gilchrist Building, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. The significance of this two-story brick structure is its association with the Boyt Company. Boyt manufactured leather goods in this building from 1904, whem it was built, until 1908. They moved to a now nonextant building to the west at that time. From 1943 to 1945 Boyt was a contractor with the United States Armed Forces, and they leased this building as a depot for shipping supplies. They supplied leather and canvas goods to the Marine Corps, the Navy Department, Signal Corps, Rock Island Arsenal and Ordnance Department, the Army Air Force, and the Treasury Department, among others.</p><br>
<p>The building was remodeled sometime in the 1910s or 1920s when the brick, including its simple cornice, was covered with stucco. It was remodeled again in 1980 when vertical wood siding was placed over the stucco. The building, along with the alley that connected it with Boyt&#39;s nonextant building, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>The Burnstein-Malin Grocery, also known as the Malin&#39;s Kosher Delicatessen, Pickle Barrel Delicatessen, and The Pickle Barrel, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. This commercial building was constructed in two parts. The first part is a 2½-story frame house built back from Sixth Avenue for Frank W. Whitcomb in 1896. It was converted into Burnstein Grocery in 1923. The number of commercial establishments along this street increased five-fold between 1920 and 1937, and the Whitcomb house exemplifies this transition. The single-story brick section on the front was completed in 1940. The two sections share a common wall. This was one of several modified residence-specialty stores that were located along Sixth Avenue from the 1930s through the 1950s, but by the end of the century it was only one of two that remained standing. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Earle & LeBosquet Block, also known as the Redhead & Wellslager Block, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Completed in 1896, the building is a fine example of the work of Des Moines architect Charles E. Eastman. It shows Eastman&#39;s ability to use Neoclassical forms and integrate the more modern Chicago Commercial style. It is also an early use of terra cotta for architectural detailing and buff colored brick for the main facade in Des Moines, which became widespread in the city in the following decades. The main floor housed two commercial spaces and the upper floors were used for warehouse space. The four-story structure was built by local conractor Gerrit Van Ginkel, and it was owned by attorneys Ira M. Earle and Peter S. LeBosquet. It replaced a three-story brick building that was built at this location in 1876. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>The Hawkeye Insurance Company Building is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Completed in 1869, the building housed the first successful casualty insurance company in the city, which grew to be the largest center for insurance companies outside of the east coast. Prominent local architect William Foster designed the building, and it may be the oldest surving example of his work. It is also the oldest commercial building in the downtown area that maintains its original integrity.</p><br>
<p>The three-story brick commercial block was designed to be the first part of a larger complex. The Italianate style building features a bracketed cornice and tall thin hooded windows. A two-story annex was completed two years later to the north. Two more three-story sections were completed before 1883. Another prominent Des Moines architectural firm, Proudfoot, Bird and Rawson, converted the building into a hotel in 1913. The original cornice was significantly altered and the raised basement was eliminated at that time. The building was later converted into an apartment building in the 1960s. In the 1980s the cornice was restored. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The 1917 Noah Webster Memorial Library building is a historic library building at 7 North Main Street in West Hartford, Connecticut. Built to a design by the Hartford firm Davis & Brooks, it is a prominent local example of Colonial Revival architecture. It housed the town library library  between 1917 and 1937, and later served as a YMCA/YWCA hall and a senior center. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. It is now used as a commercial space.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Noah Webster Memorial Library building stands at the southwest corner of North Main and Brace Streets, a short way north of the cluster of West Hartford&#39;s main civic buildings. It is a two-story masonry structure, built out of red brick with marble and wooden trim. Its front facade, facing North Main Street, is dominated by a massive four-column Classical portico, with wooden columns supporting an entablature and fully pedimented gable with oculus window. Flanking the portico are tall multisash windows, with Palladian windows at the building ends. The entrance consists of two modern doors, above which is a half-round transom window. The interior, despite its later uses, retains a number of original features, including woodwork around the windows and fireplaces.</p><br>
<p>West Hartfords public library had its origins in a lending library established in the mid-19th century by the local Congregational church, which was opened to the general public in 1883. The town formally took over the collection in 1897, and it continued to be housed in the church. This building was constructed in 1915-17 through the efforts of the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). It was designed by the Hartford architectural partnership of F. Irwin Davis and William Brooks, and was formally dedicated in 1917. DAR fundraising efforts fell short during construction, and was finished with funds appropriated by the town. By 1937 the building was judged inadequate for the librarys needs, and a new building was erected on South Main Street near the town hall. This building was then adapted for use by local YMCA and YWCA organizations, and then as a senior center.</p><br>
<p>The Stratham Historical Society is a local historical society serving the town of Stratham, New Hampshire. Its headquarters is at 158 Portsmouth Avenue, in the former Wiggin Memorial Library building. That building, built in 1912, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Stratham Historical Society building is located at the southeast corner of Portsmouth Road and Winnicutt Road in the town center of Stratham. It is a single-story masonry structure, built out of rubblestone with granite and wooden trim. It is covered by a side gable roof, with chimneys rising from the end walls. The main facade consists of a pair of projecting gabled sections flanking a central entrance portico. The portico is supported by four large granite columns, which support a corniced entablature. The interior is organized with the librarian&#39;s desk at the center, and reading rooms in the flanking wings, with fireplaces at the end walls. Its dominant architectural features are the roof supports, which are formed out of massive curved timbers.</p><br>
<p>Stratham had private libraries since 1793, and began to financially support the last of these in 1896. In 1912 a dedicated library building was built at 158 Portsmouth Avenue, to a design by Charles Howard Walker. Its construction was funded by a bequest from Emma Blodgett Wiggin, and was named as a memorial to her and her husband, George Wiggin. It served as the town&#39;s public library until 1989, when it moved to its current facilities. The old building now serves as a research library and meeting place for the Stratham Historical Society.</p><br>
<p>The Schellenberg Ice Cave is an cave located on the Berchtesgaden Alps in Upper Bavaria, Germany, near the Austrian border.</p><br>
<p>The cave belongs to the Untersberg massif, at 1570 metres above sea level, and is the only ice cave open in Germany.</p><br>
<p>It is named after Marktschellenberg, a nearby town in Berchtesgadener Land district. In 1826, it was first mentioned in writing, and fully explored by 1874. It has an estimated ice volume of about 60,000 cubic meters and has been run as a show cave since 1925. The explored length of the ice cave is 3,621 meters, of which, 500 meters in a guided tour at temperatures between -0.5 and +1.0 degrees Celsius are committed. The ice cave can only be reached after a several-hour walk and as one of two show caves in Germany without electric light. It is illuminated with carbide lamps, which are carried by the visitors.</p><br>
<p>The Homestead Building, also known as the Martin Hotel, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Smith & Gage, it was built in two statges. The eastern one-third was completed in 1893 and the western two-thirds was completed in 1905. It is one of a few late nineteenth-century commercial/industrial buildings that remain in the downtown area. The building was built for James M. Pierce for his publishing operation, which included the Iowa Homestead, a pioneer publication of modern agricultural journalism. Prior to Pierce, the Iowa Homestead publisher was Henry Wallace, the father of Agriculture Secretary Henry C. Wallace, and grandfather of USA Vice President Henry A. Wallace. "Through the efforts of Pierce and Wallace the Iowa Homestead became known for its promotion of the rotation of crops, the use of better seed, the value of more and better livestock, the importance of an attractive home and a good home life, the value of farmers banding together to protect common interests, and the care of the soil and conservation of its resources."</p><br>
<p>The four-story brick commercial block has strong Richardsonian Romanesque qualities. The east and south elevations have hard, face brick in two shades of red given the two construction dates. The north and west elevations have common brick. Each series of arched windows on the third floor is accented with corbeled bands of brick and capped with a dentate cornice. There is also dentate cornice and parapet wall at the top of the east and south elevations, and a flat roof that caps the building. It was converted into a hotel in 1916, and two storefronts were added either in the 1940s or the 1950s. The original arched entrance on the east elevation was also removed. The storefronts have subsequently been removed, and the building now houses offices. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Iowa-Des Moines National Bank Building, also known as the Valley National Bank Building and USA Bank, is a historic building located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Designed by the prominent Des Moines architectural firm of Proudfoot, Rawson, Souers & Thomas, it was designed to be a 21- or 22-story building. It is one of the few downtown commercial buildings built in the Art Deco style. It is also thought to be one of the first bank buildings to put the banking room on the second floor while placing retail space on the first floor. Given its location in an area dominated by retail this made sense. This location had a bank on it since 1882 when the Des Moines National Bank built here. The present building was the result when Des Moines National Bank merged with Iowa National Bank and Des Moines Savings Bank and Trust Company in 1929. The original design for the building was a five-story base and a set-back rental office tower on top of it. The base was begun in 1931 and completed a year later. The building is composed of black polished granite on the first floor and the upper floors are Bedford stone. There is a recessed entrance in the center bay of the main facade. The fifth floor was meant to be the base of the office tower that was never built.</p><br>
<p>Iowa-Des Moines National Bank remained here until 1974 when they moved to the Financial Center. The building was bought by Valley National Bank in 1977 and restoration and renovation of the building was completed in 1979. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, and was later acquired by USA Bancorp.</p><br>
<p>The Pulaski South Historic Residential and Industrial District encompasses an area of residential and industrial development on the south side of Pulaski, Virginia. Located south of Commerce Street, the town&#39;s early commercial district, is an area that was developed between about 1880 and 1940 to support the growth of the Bertha Zinc and Mineral Company, a major local employer of the period whose industrial complex lies just west of the district. The district includes tracts of modest worker housing, including brick rowhouses, and vernacular one and two-family frame houses. There are two churches, one a fine brick Gothic church for a Pentecostal congregation, the other an Episcopal church since converted into housing.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Robert Fulton School is a historic school building at 1000-1012 Carlisle Avenue in the Fulton Hill neighborhood of Richmond, Virginia. It is a two-story T-shaped structure, built with a frame of concrete and steel and finished in brick. It was built in 1917 to a design by William Leigh Carneal, a prominent Virginia architect, as part of a school construction program instituted by longtime superintendent J.A.C. Chandler. It served as a school until 1979, at first as a segregated white school, and then as a school for African-Americans as the Fulton Hill area became increasingly black. It was integrated in 1969.</p><br>
<p>The school was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017. It has been converted into residences.</p><br>
<p>Ilhéu de São Miguel is an islet in the Gulf of Guinea and is one of the smaller islands of São Tomé and Príncipe. The islet are outside the boundaries of Obo Natural Park Both the settlement and the island are Portuguese for Saint Michael.</p><br>
<p>The islet is located 330 m west of the island of São Tomé and west of the settlement of São Miguel. Its length is 260 m east to west and its width is 130 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 south is another islet known as Ilhéu Gabado.</p><br>

<p>Sargents Garage, also known as the Robinsons Paint and Body Shop, Grand Spring Body and Paint Company, and Fabio&#39;s, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Completed in 1924, this single-story commercial building emplifies vernacular commercial architecture. It features a rectangular plan, wood siding now covered with metal, and a flat roof. It originally had a symmetrical facade, which has now been altered. Its significance is that it is an early automobile repair and body shop, which was a new architectural form that was emerging in early 20th-century Iowa. It continued to serve this purpose until 1997 when it suffered a minor fire. The building sat vacant for a period of time until it was renovated and reopened. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>Zion Episcopal Church  is a historic Episcopal parish church founded in 1847 in Talbotton, Georgia, the county seat of Talbot County. It is a fine and unusual example of the English Tudor and carpenter-gothic style, influenced by Richard Upjohn, in a rural southern setting. The church was funded by wealthy planters from coastal Georgia and South Carolina The Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta is currently fundraising for the restoration of the 160-year old, wooden church.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Zion Episcopal, much like other Southern planter churches and chapels of ease, is a notable confluence of both the wealth and fashion of southern planter societies, and of the simplicity and locality of rural southern religious buildings. The church was built in 1848 and consecrated in 1853, as a mission of the then-single Diocese of Georgia, under the leadership of the Rev. Richard Johnson —who is sometimes quoted in his journaling of travel across the deep south and southwest. Funded by Talbotton&#39;s unusually frontier-eager planter elite, and by rice planters whom Johnson had served in South Carolina, the building is a perfect survival of an international architectural movement that saw its own provincial manifestation in the backcountry of the old southern frontier.</p><br>
<h3>Architecture</h3><br>
<p>Zion Episcopal Church is considered to be an excellent and early example of English country Tudor revival. Built in the neo-gothic architecture that was increasingly the desired style of the mid 19th century, it was probably inspired by the designs of Richard Upjohn, the architect most famously of Trinity Church Wall Street, which became popular by the dispersal of his book: Upjohns Rural Architecture. The one room church is built of vertical boards, and features a central three-part bell tower, a gallery built for the slaves of worshipping planters, and lancet windows with plantation shutters. It is built completely out of local Heart Pine, with nails and iron from a Talbotton blacksmith and unpainted, giving it a deeply dim and rural look. And, while bearing a relationship to Richard Upjohn’s designs, it stands apart in its particularly Tudor style, with perpendicular carpentry arches supporting the galleries, decorative battlements, and a trefoil theme in the pitched roof. The interior firings, namely the altar, communion rail, box pews, lectern and pulpit, are all built from native Walnut, and the ceiling beams are rare white cedar logs cut from Talbot County forests. The organ, made by Pilcher, was installed in the west end on the gallery in 1850 and is still working condition. It is the oldest and only working hand-pumped Pilcher organ in the United States. The Church stands in an oak and cedar grove in the LeVert Historic District of Talbotton —dominated by large neo-classical columned plantation houses. The large and deliberate slave gallery, unaltered since the Civil War, reflects the religious schooling of enslaved people by Georges Episcopal bishop and the parishioners of Zion.</p><br>
<h3>Today</h3><br>
<p>Talbotton remained a fairly isolated community and the church never had more that 12 families. The Church was placed on the National Register for Historic Places in 1974. It has not had regular Sunday services for over fifty years but is still carefully maintained by the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta. The Church has never been modernized, refitted or altered, and remains the oldest church building in the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta.</p><br>
<h4>Services</h4><br>
<p>Holy Eucharist is offered at Zion Episcopal Church in the afternoon of the Second Sunday of the month.</p><br>
<p>The Los Burros Ranger Station is a forest ranger station situated in Apache County, Arizona. The station was manned by rangers who traveled to the nearby Lake Mountain Lookout.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The area was most likely named by sheepherders after stray donkeys which used to frequent the area due to the local water supply. Forest Road 224, upon which the station sits, is considered to be the route which was followed by Francisco Vázquez de Coronado on his searches for Cibola. As the Forestry Service began to develop its lookouts in Arizona forests, the men and animals needed to man those lookouts could sometimes be accommodated at local ranches/farms. However the isolation of the Lake Mountain lookout necessitated the construction of structures to see to those needs. The station was constructed in 1909-10, the first to be built in the Lakeside district, on 240 acres east of Pinetop-Lakeside, Arizona. The station was built to house a fireguard, who rode to the to the nearby Lake Mountain Lookout to watch for forest fires.</p><br>
<p>The timber industry was very profitable in the region, which has a very high occurrence rate of lightning strikes, so a series of lookouts was created to guard against fires. The fireguard consisted of a combination house-office as well as a nearby barn, both constructed of one inch by twelve inch boards and one inch by four inch battens. With the development of the timber industry in the area, the station was also used as an office for the Forest Service timber sale administrator, which continued for the next 20-30 years. Over the years, the spring, as well as the meadows surrounding the cabin and barn were used by both cowboys and sheepherders driving their herds through the area. The station fell into disuse in the late 1940s or early 1950s.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The station is located on Forest Road 224, approximately 8 miles northeast of McNary, Arizona. The site consists of a combination office and living quarters, along with a barn. The 24 acre site also includes the spring and several pastures which were helpful for the stations animals. The office was connected to the main district ranger office 25 miles away in Show Low by a telephone line run from tree to tree on insulators.</p><br>
<p>The office/living quarters measures 164" by 3210", the western side being the front. The building is split almost equally into two rooms, with a fireplace in the internal wall between them. The slightly larger room has two doors, in the east and west walls directly opposite one another. Both east and west walls also have 1/1 double sash windows, again directly opposite each other. The smaller room has a single door, on the western side, with two /1 double sash windows, on the south and east walls. The roof is of simple gable construction, originally covered with wood shingles, but is now covered with green asphalt shingles.</p><br>
<p>The barn is several hundred feet south of the office/living quarters. The barn is 24 3" wide by 26 7" long, with a steep-pitched gable roof covered in wood shingles. The internal components have not lasted through the years; while there is a loft door on the south end, there is no remaining evidence of the loft itself. The spring lies uphill from the two structures, and has been lined with concrete and capped.</p><br>
<p>The buildings are the oldest extant structures built by the USA Forest Service in the Sitgreaves National Forest. Today, there is a campground named "Los Burros" which exists on the site as well as the ranger office and barn.</p><br>
<p>The Des Moines Western Railway Freight House, also known as the Des Moines, Iowa Falls & Northern Railroad Freight House, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Built between 1902 and 1903 by local contractor William H. Brererton, this two-story brick building features a low-pitched, side gable roof. It was built as a railroad freight house for F.M. Hubbell and the Des Moines Western Railway, which was an attempt to link the city and points west, but it never made it beyond the city limits. It is now a rare example of a once a common building type in the city. The building was leased to the Des Moines, Iowa Falls, and Northern Railroad , another Hubbell venture. An interurban line, the Fort Dodge, Des Moines & Southern</p><br>
<p>Railroad (FtDDM&S), acquired the DMIF&N and continued to use this freight house for that purpose as they carried a high volume of freight. The building has been remodeled three times. The first was when part of it was converted by the FtDDM&S into an interurban passenger depot in 1933. The second time was when it was converted into a restaurant in the 1980s. The third time was its conversion into an office building, which is what it is today. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<p>The Grocers Wholesale Company Building, also known as the Sears and Roebuck Farm Store, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Completed in 1916, this was the first of four warehouses built and owned by Iowas only and most successful statewide cooperative grocery warehouse. It is possible that it was the first statewide organization of this kind in the country. The cooperative allowed independent grocers to compete against chain stores and survive wholesale grocers surcharges. They leased their first warehouse after they organized in 1912. Each successive time the cooperative built a new warehouse it was larger and technologially more advanced than the previous one. This particular cooperative grew to include parts of four states: Iowa, southern Minnesota, northern Missouri and eastern Nebraska. They built their second warehouse in 1930 and moved out of this facility. They continued to own this building until 1968, and they leased it out to other firms. The Sears Farm Equipment Store began to occupy the building in 1937 and continued here until 1959. The cooperative became the Associated Grocers of Iowa in the late 1950s, and it continued in existence until 1985. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<p>The Taft-West Warehouse, also known as the C.C. Taft Company Building, Plumb Supply Company, Bens Furniture Warehouse, and Nacho Mammas, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Completed in 1923, this three-story brick structure was built during a transitional period between the dominance of railroads the emergence of trucks servicing warehouses. It was designed by local architectural firm of Vorse, Kraetsch, & Kraetsch. It features cleans lines of the Commercial style as opposed to the fussiness of late Victorian styling that was dominant in a great deal of the city&#39;s commercial architecture. The building was also located in the Court Avenue wholesale district, and now it is only one of only five or six that remain extant. The building was constructed for the C.C. Taft Company. This firm and the O.B. West Company that succeeded it in this building, dealt in wholesale fruits, vegetables, candy and tobacco. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>The West End North Historic District encompasses a neighborhood of late 19th and early 20th century residential architecture in western Hartford, Connecticut and eastern West Hartford, Connecticut. Roughly bounded by Prospect, Elizabeth, and Lorraine Streets and Farmington Avenue, the area includes a large number of Colonial Revival and Queen Anne houses, as well as numerous buildings in other period styles, with only a small number of losses. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The part of Hartford west of the Park River remained largely agricultural until the 1870s, when it began to see increasing residential development. Most of the land on either side of Farmington Avenue belonged to three owners, including Eugene Kenyon, a Hartford businessman. He platted the subdivision of his land and that of Sylvanus Cone for residential development, an area including the southern half of this district. It saw only modest development during the 1870s owing to financial uncertainties of the period, and it was not until the 1880s that more significant development took place. In 1886-87 a series of handsome Queen Anne Victorians were built along Girard Avenue. The most intensive development took place in the first decade of the 20th century, when a significant number of Colonial Revival houses were built throughout the district. Most of this development was targeted at middle to upper-class residents working in downtown Hartford.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is about 120 acre in size, and includes 291 historically significant buildings. It is bounded on the east by the Park River, and on the south by Farmington Avenue, although it excludes the modern buildings on that road. It is bounded on the west by Prospect Street, including properties on the west side (in West Hartford) and the east side (in Hartford). To the north it is bounded by Elizabeth Street, including only buildings on the south side, and by the campus of the University of Connecticut School of Law (which is excluded from this district, but is separately listed on the National Register).</p><br>
<p>The Osage County Courthouse in Lyndon, Kansas is a historic courthouse built in 1923. Located at 717 Topeka Avenue, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse is a three-story reinforced concrete building faced with tooled limestone on its first floor, and brick and clay tile above. It has frame floors and a frame/steel truss roof. It is about 100x83 ft in plan.</p><br>
<p>The listing included two contributing buildings (the courthouse and a jail building) and two non-contributing ones (another jail building and a shed). It also includes three contributing objects (a World War I memorial, a flag pole, a Korean War memorial) and two non-contributing objects (a 1969 Memorial and a Vietnam War memorial).</p><br>
<p>The ZCMI Cast Iron Front is a historic building facade, currently attached to the City Creek Center facing South Main Street in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. The facade, built out of cast iron and stamped steel between 1876 and 1901, is a well-preserved example of a metal facade, and a reminder of the city&#39;s 19th-century commercial past. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>City Creek Center is a major mixed-use commercial and residential development in downtown Salt Lake City. On the east side of South Main Street, just south of South Temple Street, is the ZCMI Cast Iron Front. It presently forms the facade of the centers Macys store. The facade is about 50 ft wide and three stories in height, and is divided into three sections, articulated by square columns between them and at the ends. Each section is composed of seven bays, separated by paneled columns with Corinthian capitals. Above the first two floors there are modillioned cornices separating the floors, with a deeper projecting cornice at the roof level. The roof cornice of the outer levels is further adorned with a layer of dentil work below the modillions, and has brackets above each of the columns. The middle section cornice includes a fully pedimented gable, and is raised above a frieze panel with vine motifs around two circular panels with the dates 1868 and 1999, and a central panel bearing the legend ZCMI.</p><br>
<p>The ZCMI department store was founded in 1868, and is described as the first department store in the United States. Its flagship store for many years was built in 1876 to a design by local architect William Folsom, and at first featured only the central portion of this facade, which was fashioned out of cast iron. In two enlargements, occurring in 1880 and 1901, the facade was extended, the first time also in cast iron, the second time in stamped sheet metal. The facade was retained when the store behind it was demolished to make way for the City Creek Center development.</p><br>
<p>The Apperson-Iowa Motor Car Company Building, also known as the Garage Building for Rawson Brothers, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It is significant for its association with the prominent Des Moines architcetural firm that designed it, Proudfoot, Bird & Rawson. Completed in 1921, it was designed and built within the period of time the firm was at its most prolific . It is also significant for its association with the rise of the automobile industry in the city. Auto dealerships and distributorships leased the building from 1921 to 1951. Architect Harry D. Rawson and his brothers owned the building from 1921 to 1938. The two-story structure is located on a midblock lot in the midst of what was the automobile sales, service, and manufacturing district on the western edge of the downtown area. The first-floor housed a showroom in the front with offices on a mezzanine. The back of the first-floor and the second-floor was used for assembling and servicing automobiles. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<p>The Flynn-Griffin Building, also known as the Flynn Block, Peoples&#39; Savings Bank Building, and the Edna M. Griffin Building, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was constructed in two stages. The first three floors were completed in 1885, and the top three floors were completed in 1906. Throughout its existence, it has housed retail space on the first floor and offices on the upper floors. Peoples Savings Bank was located here from 1890 to 1929. The building is named for two influential Iowans, Martin Flynn and Edna Griffin. Flynn was an early Des Moines resident, livestock breeder, entrepreneur, and banker who had this building constructed. Flynn was one of the organizers of Peoples Savings Bank, and it grew to prominence in the city. The building is the only reminder in the city of his contributions to Des Moines’ commercial sector.</p><br>
<p>By 1883 Des Moines had been nicked named “Hartford of the West.” This indicates the central place the insurance industry played in the city&#39;s economic life. Insurance companies that maintained offices in the Flynn Block include Banker’s Accident Co., Central Life Assurance Society, Aetna Life Insurance Co., National Life Insurance Co., Mutual Fire Insurance Co., Equitable Life Insurance Co., and Prudential Insurance Co.</p><br>
<p>After the bank vacated the first floor it was converted to Katz Drug Store. Even though racial segregation was illegal in Iowa, it was a reality in practice. In 1948 Edna Griffin along with her infant daughter Phyllis, John Bibbs, and Leonard Hudson sat at the lunch counter at Katzs and ordered ice cream. They were refused and told that the establishment “was not equipped to serve Negroes.” even though her act of civil disobedience predated Parks.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The original three-story building was designed by Des Moines architect William Foster, a principal of the influential firm of Foster & Liebbe. The 1906 expansion was designed by the equally prominent firm of Proudfoot & Bird,</p><br>
<p>The Colony Tower Complex is a decorative water tower, with a gate and gatehouse, located at 6503 Dyke Rd.  in Pearl Beach, Michigan. The tower was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994, and the gatehouse joined it in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In early 1926, Detroit developer Will St. John platted an exclusive residential subdivision known as "The Colony," marketed to well-off professionals as a secluded neighborhood with ready access the Lake Saint Clair. The subdivision had 147 lots. That same year, St. John had the Chicago Bridge & Iron Company erect a water tower to service the subdivision. As an advertising gimmick, St. John clad the tower with a lighthouse-like outer skin, even adding a beacon on top. He also constructed a gatehouse nearby.</p><br>
<p>However, by 1929, only three of the subdivisions lots had houses on them, one of which was St. Johns own house. The onset of the Great Depression doomed the development, although years later the area did become attractive as a residential center.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Colony Tower Complex consists of a water tank tower designed to look like a lighthouse and the nearby gatekeeper&#39;s cottage and garage. A semicircular drive off Dyke leads to a narrow lane which passes between the cottage and garage, then over the small canal behind the Tower complex.</p><br>
<p>The water tower is 136 feet high and is clad with steel plate, mimicking the appearance of a lighthouse. The tower is 28 feet in diameter at the base, narrowing slightly toward the top. "The Colony" is written on the outside. The cladding has deep-set windows, a catwalk, and a conical roof. Inside the cladding is a 60,000-gallon steel water tank, supported with six columns with struts and tie rods.</p><br>
<p>The and nearby gatekeeper&#39;s cottage and garage buildings are Tudor Revival structures with high gabled roofs, white stuccoed walls, and half-timbering in the gables. The gatehouse has another low, gable-roof garage built in 1970 attached to the end.</p><br>
<p>Tome Jail is a historic jail building in Tome, New Mexico. It is the only surviving part of the former Valencia County Courthouse, built when the county seat was moved from Belen to Tome in 1875. The courthouse was a two-story adobe building which gradually disappeared due to erosion, but the jail had more durable stone walls and remained standing. Construction of the building was probably authorized by Probate Judge Manuel A. Otero, who was the chief county official at the time and whose name appears in a bilingual inscription carved into the stone lintel.</p><br>
<p>The building is 15 ft wide by 25 ft deep, with plastered stone walls 4 ft thick. It has small windows on the south and west sides, each with a double set of bars set into a wooden frame on the inside and a sandstone frame on the outside. The interior walls and roof are of rough-cut lumber.</p><br>
<p>Daigle House, also known as Revillon House or as La Maison Revillon, in Lafayette, Louisiana, is a historic Creole cottage listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was built with Greek Revival architecture in about 1880 by Jules Revillon.</p><br>
<p>It is a five bay structure with a center entrance. It has a full front gallery featuring Doric posts with ogee molded capitals and a nearly full entablature. The front has two large dormers with pediments, pilasters and modest entablatures.</p><br>
<p>The house was purchased by Sidney and Norma Daigle in 1924. It was purchased by George and Pat Bradley in 2004, and, in 2017, is used as a real estate firm&#39;s office.</p><br>
<p>There is a "Daigle House Apartments" complex, also in Lafayette, which appears to be unrelated (it is named for donors named Daigle and is at a different location).</p><br>
<p>Mount Whitcombe is a mountain in New Zealand&#39;s Southern Alps , rising to a height of 2,650 m.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Mount Whitcome lies in the Southern Alps of the South Island. It is one of three mountains (along with Malcolm Peak and Mount Evans) which lie at the headwaters of the Rakaia, Wanganui, and Whitcombe Rivers. On the eastern side, the Ramsay Glacier feeds into the Rakaia River, and lies under the 1,500 m Ramsay Face. The peak of Mount Whitcombe forms part of the boundary between the Canterbury and West Coast Regions.</p><br>
<h2>Eponymy</h2><br>
<p>Mount Whitcome was named after John Henry Whitcombe who was a surveyor for the Canterbury Provincial Council in 1862. Whitcombe, along with Jacob Lauper a Swiss Guide, were tasked with investigating a pass at the Rakaia headwaters 4.6 km east of the mountain. During this expedition, in which the pair were ill prepared, Whitcombe was swept into the Taramakau River and drowned. This tragic event resulted in Julius von Haast naming the pass the pair travelled, along with the mountain, Mount Whitcombe.</p><br>

<p>The G.W. Jones Building, also known as the Electric Farm Lighting Co. and the Laster Motor Company, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It is significant for its association with the rise of the automobile industry in the city. George W. Jones was a pioneering Des Moines auto dealer  and Delco-Light generator distributor who occupied the building from 1920 to 1922. In this building he sold generators and appliances that were manufactured by General Motors, and they were sold by regional distributor-dealers in a similar fashion to automobiles. Jones continued to own the building until 1943 and he leased it to other automobile-related businesses. It is also significant for its association with the prominent Des Moines architectural firm that designed it, Proudfoot, Bird & Rawson. Completed in 1920, it was designed and built within the period of time the firm was at its most prolific . Local contractor A.H. Neumann built the two-story brick structure. It features a symmetrical facade, large square window openings, restrained Neoclassical details, and parapet walls. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<p>The Studebaker Corporation Branch Office Building, also known as the Iowa Truck and Tractor Co., Apperson Iowa Motor Car Co., Sears Auto Co., and the Sanders Motor Co., is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. This is actually two adjacent buildings, built four years apart. The building at 1442 Locust Street was completed in 1918 to house a Studebaker dealership, auto repair shop, and a corporate branch office. The addition of the corporate office made this building different from the others on Des Moines "Auto Row," where it is located. The building was designed by the prominent local architectural firm of Proudfoot, Bird & Rawson, and built for the Hubbell Building Company who leased it out. The first floor was the location for Glass & Patton, the local Studebaker dealer. The second floor was where Studebakers wholesale business in the state of Iowa was conducted. The third floor was a store room for automobiles. Studebaker&#39;s tenure here was short lived, and by 1919 other auto and truck related businesses started to occupy the building.</p><br>
<p>The building at 1436 Locust Street was built in 1922 between two existing buildings, which means it only has party walls. It too housed car dealerships in its early years. It was acquired by Sanders Motor Company in 1937 to house their used cars. Sanders already owned and occupied 1442 Locust Street. The two buildings were incorporated in 1948 with the opening of the party wall on the first floor. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The L. Harbach and Sons Furniture Warehouse and Factory Complex, also known as the Way-Helms Co. & Red Cross Mattress, L. Ginsberg & Sons wholesale furniture warehouse, and the A.A. Schneiderhahn electronic appliances warehouse, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. This is actually two adjacent buildings completed in 1906. Their significance is their successive ownership by three prominent furniture retailers/wholesalers. L. Harbach & Sons Co. was one of Iowa&#39;s largest furniture wholesalers, and they manufactured furniture in Des Moines for more than seventy years. They occupied this complex from 1906 to 1928. One of the buildings was their factory and the other was their warehouse. The Harbach family sold the business around 1920 to the Davidson family, who continued to use the Harbach name until through 1928, and continued to own the building until 1952. They leased the buildings to Way-Helms Co. & Red Cross Mattress for a short time, and then beginning in 1930, to the Ginsberg family. Both the Davidsons and the Ginsbergs owned local furniture stores. The Ginsbergs acquired the buildings from the Davisons and they owned them until 1985. They altered the building as trucks replaced trains as the main mode of transportation for furniture warehousing and distribution. The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>Lizq is an archaeological site in Ash Sharqiyah, Oman. Located on a mountain lying in a plain, 1000 m south-east of the south-eastern edge of the Lizq palm garden, the fort dates to the Lizq-Rumaylah/Early Iron Age.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The site was discovered in 1979, the result of the archaeological exploration of Gerd Weisgerber of the German Mining Museum (Deutsches Bergbau-Museum) in Bochum. Shaikh Hamdan al-Harthy of Samad led Weisgerber to the site In 1981 a single season long German archaeological team mapped and conducted minimal rescue excavation. They did an ad hoc restoration of the stairs which lead up the northern face of the mountain. Since there are several sites near Lizq town, the fort is disambiguated as L1.</p><br>
<p>The Lizq fort owes its existence to the reliable occurrence of water at a natural causeway at the southern side of the central mountains. The main fort on the western mountain peak is some 175 m wide and has a surface of more than 20.000 m2. The location of the Iron Age village associated with the fort remains unknown. No falaj was discovered. In terms of surface area, L1 is the largest pre-Islamic fort in south-eastern Arabia.</p><br>
<p>Important is Kroll&#39;s comparison of the pottery with that of Iron Age Iran.</p><br>
<p>The Jackson House, located at 703 Jackson St. in Winnsboro in Franklin Parish, Louisiana, is a Queen Anne-style house built in 1900. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>

<p>Garfield Elementary School is a historic school building located at 1518 25th Avenue in Moline, Illinois. The school was built in 1902 to replace the original Garfield Elementary, which had burned down the previous year. The original school opened in the 1870s and was the first to serve Moline&#39;s Stewartville neighborhood; when the new school opened in 1902, it was still the only school in Stewartville. Local architect Olof Z. Cervin designed the brick Classical Revival building. In 1955, an addition designed by William F. Bernbrock provided the school with a new gymnasium and more classrooms.</p><br>
<p>The school closed in 2015 and was sold to private developers. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 10, 2017. It is one of the three oldest public school buildings in Moline and the only surviving public school building in Stewartville.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. Charles Compton House is a historic house located at 1303 South Wiggins Avenue in the Oak Knolls neighborhood of Springfield, Illinois. The house was built in 1926 for Dr. Charles Wentworth Compton, a local surgeon and the founder of local political group the Wentworth Republicans.

The original slate roof of the house is broken by two brick chimneys.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 8, 2017.</p><br>
<p>The Idabel Armory in Idabel, Oklahoma was built in 1936 as a Works Progress Administration  project. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>It is a single-story building built of sandstone. Its main portion is 86x124 ft and it has two 30x92 ft wings.</p><br>
<p>Its NRHP nomination notes:As a WPA building, the armory is notable primarily for its scale. That quality makes the structure significant within the community of Idabel, but more important is its type, materials of construction and character of workmanship. Equally significant is that the building itself contributed to a state of military preparedness which enabled the Oklahoma National Guard to contribute to the allied victory during World War II. Among other things, it contains an in-door rifle range. Construction of the armory likewise provided jobs for destitute workers at a point in the depression of the 1930s when there were none in the private sector, resulting in some economic security and greater self-esteem.</p><br>
<p>The Virginia National Bank Headquarters Historic District encompasses a skyscraper, parking garage, and public plaza in downtown Norfolk, Virginia. Bounded by East Main and Atlantic Streets, Commercial Place, and Waterside Drive, it includes the 24-story Virginia National Bank building, constructed in 1965-67 to a design by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, one of Virginia&#39;s leading architectural firms of the period. The accompanying plaza and garage formed part of the design, and are a significant example of mid-20th century architecture and landscape design principles. Its construction marked the start of a revitalization and transformation of downtown Norfolk.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<p>Sinekkale  is the archaeological remains of a big villa rustica in Turkey. The original name is unknown.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Sinekkale is at 36&deg;27&prime;26&Prime;N latitude, 34&deg;00&prime;07&Prime;E longitude in the rural area of Silifke ilçe (district) of Mersin Province. Its distance from Silifke is 20 km and from Mersin is 80 km. Sinekkale is to the north of some other sites of archaeological importance such as Karakabaklı and Işıkkale. The visitors follow the Turkish state highway which runs in parallel to Mediterranean Sea coast. About 1 km west of Atakent the visitors turn to north for about 10 km. The last 500 m is unaccesible by motor vehicles and the visitors have to walk through the bushy area.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building is a typical Roman or Early Byzantine building. But there is a symbol of the Hellenistic Olba Kingdom carved on the lintel of one of the auxiliary buildings. The first description and a plan of Sinekkale were prepared in the early 1970s by Turkish art historian Semavi Eyice. Friedrich Hild, Hansgerd Hellenkemper, Gilbert Dagron and Olivier Callot also visited the site and recently Ina Eichner made the most accurate description of the house.</p><br>
<h2>The building</h2><br>
<p>The east to west dimension of the villa is 24 m and the north to east dimension is 21 m.It is a two-storey building. There are five rooms in the ground floor and six rooms in the first (mostly demolished) floor. There are visible consoles in the first floor which once supported a balcony. The house has a cistern, two bath rooms and a toilet.</p><br>
<p>The Pine Street Industrial Historic District encompasses a collection of maritime industrial buildings and archaeological sites in southern Burlington, Vermont. The district includes buildings across nearly 100 years, encompassing the development and decline of the area, which served as a major railroad and shipping terminus from the mid-19th to mid-20th centuries. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The city of Burlington was founded in the late 18th century, and was from an early date an important lumber shipment and processing point. The southern part of its waterfront on Lake Champlain began to see industrial development following the arrival of the railroad in 1849, and the construction of a barge canal twenty years later. The land west of Pine Street and south of Maple Street was in part created by filling in marshland, and became a focal point for a large number of wood-processing industries.</p><br>
<p>The historic district includes resources associated with Burlington&#39;s maritime trade, railroad trade, and timber processing industries. Buildings along Pine Street and nearby streets associated with the industries are typically vernacular brick or frame buildings, few rising above two stories in height. The principal railroad-related building that still survives from the period is a roundhouse built 1916-18; many of the extant buildings associated with the railyard in the area are not of historic significance. Maritime resources include shipwrecks located just off the waterfront.</p><br>
<p>The Lac des Quinze is a freshwater body extending into the municipalities of Moffet, Angliers, Latulipe-et-Gaboury, Quebec, Guérin and Rémigny in the Témiscamingue , in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue administrative region, in Quebec, in Canada.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Covering 145 km and forming a large open crescent to the North, “Lac des Quinze” is a major expansion of the Ottawa River. With a length of 52 km and a maximum width of 11 km, “Lac des Quinze” gets its supply on the East side by the Ottawa River which crosses Lac Simard (Temiscamingue) (altitude: 263 m) and Grassy Lake (Témiscamingue).</p><br>
<p>In addition, “Lac des Quinze” is powered by:</p><br>
<p>South side: the Fraser River that flows into Gillies Bay, one of many bays created by the particular configuration of the water body</p><br>
<p>East side: McFadden River (coming from the South) draining the waters of Rondelet Lake and Béquille Creek</p><br>
<p>North side: the outlet of lakes Lébret, Rocher, Martin, Petit lac Perreault, Beaumesnil Lake, Klock and Wasps; the waters of the Little Roger River which drains the lakes Beaudry lake, Gérin-Lajoie, Gaboury and the Langelier; discharge of a series of lakes located north of the village of Rémigny, Quebec.</p><br>
<p>After crossing the “Lac des Quinze”, the current of the Ottawa River leaves the Baie Perron to flow on 24 km (at the limit of the municipalities of Guérin and from Saint-Eugène-de-Guigues, Quebec) westerly through a series of rapids: Cypress, Kakake, Islands and Fifteen. At the end of this segment of the river, the current flows through the "First Fall" near the village of Notre-Dame-du-Nord, Quebec. Then the waters flow to the west, in Paulson Bay north of Lake Timiskaming.</p><br>
<p>The municipalities administering the territory of “Lac des Quinze” are: Guérin (northern part) and Angliers (southwestern part) and Latulipe-et-Gaboury, Quebec (for Gillies Bay, at the extreme South). The shape of the lake surrounds by the southwest Lac des Quinze Biodiversity Reserve, located in the territory of Angliers. This reserve stops in the East at the Little Roger River and in the North, at "Des Wasps Lake". A bay of “Lac des Quinze”, deep in 6.4 km, stretches northward in the middle of the reserve territory.</p><br>
<h2>Toponymy</h2><br>
<p>A March 1868 survey report by Lindsay Russell reports the "Lac des Quinze". The origin of the name of the lake and the “Des Quinze River” is explained in another survey report dated May 1873 by Walter McOuat, who writes that he "went up the Ottawa to “Lac des Quinze”, a distance of about fifteen miles (24 km)... This part of the Outaouais is designated in the locality under the name "Les Quinze", which comes from the fact that, to go up in a canoe, it is necessary to make about fifteen portages "(corresponding to as many cascades or falls).</p><br>
<p>In the middle of the 19th century, logging in the “Lac des Quinze” sector began at the initiative of logging companies. Between 1884 and 1910, several settlers gradually settled on the south shore of “Lac des Quinze”. In 1883, John Morrison, a former employee of the Hudson&#39;s Bay Company, built a trading post at Gillies Bay (South of “Lac des Quinze”) to trade furs with the Amerindians for others products.</p><br>
<p>Around 1912, a hydroelectric dam was built on the Ottawa River, at the outlet of Lake Quinze. In 1947, this barrage of “Des Quinze” (English: the Fifteen) will then be raised and three other dams, with power stations, will appear downstream.</p><br>
<p>The toponym "Lac des Quinze" (in French) was formalized on December 5, 1968 at the Bank of Place Names of the Commission de toponymie du Québec.</p><br>
