<p>The Jones House, on Louisiana Highway 154 along Cane River Lake near Melrose in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana, was built in 1847. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>Its NRHP nomination states:The Jones House helps establish the significance of Natchitoches Parish as a center of the Creole style. It is particularly important for its three elegant mantel/overmantel ensembles, a feature found in only the most elegant and "upmarket" Creole houses in Louisiana. In this, it is in sharp contrast to the general trend in Natchitoches Parish of large, plain Creole houses with little in the way of intricate ornamentation. It is one of only two houses having mantel/overmantel ensembles. (The other is Melrose Plantation House, a National Historic Landmark.) Finally, it is the only known surviving house to have the lozenge shaped design so popular in Louisiana&#39;s French Creole architecture.</p><br>
<p>The North-West School is a historic school building at 1240 Albany Avenue in Hartford, Connecticut. Built in 1891, it is a well-preserved example of a late 19th-century school building, considered state of the art at the time of its construction. It served the city as a school until 1978, and now stands vacant. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The North-West School is located in northern Hartford, on the north side of Albany Avenue (United States Route 44), between the Albany branch of the Hartford Public Library, and an arts organization. It is a two story masonry structure, built out of brick and covered by a gabled roof. Its front facade is seven bays wide, with a center entrance recessed behind a broad round-headed arch lined with drip moulding. The outer bays have single sash windows with brownstone lintels and sills, while above the entrance are a pair of similar windows; that space was originally occupied by a three-part window. The interior is organized around a central hall and staircase, with classrooms on either side, one of which was later converted into school offices.</p><br>
<p>The first school to be built on this property was a two-room structure built in 1871. The present building, the only survivor of a long series of alterations, was built in 1891 as a major addition to the first building, and was originally oriented facing Woodland Street, where the arts center now stands. In 1915, the 1871 building was demolished, and this structure was relocated to its present site. It underwent a number of additions, as the area&#39;s population increased and more classroom space was needed. The school was used until 1978, at which time all of the additions were demolished.</p><br>
<p>The Old North Cemetery is a cemetery on Main Street in the Clay-Arsenal neighborhood north of downtown Hartford, Connecticut. It was established in 1807, and was the citys second municipal cemetery. It was the principal burying ground for the citys elites for many years, and has a fine collection of 19th-century funerary art. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. Although burials continue to take place there occasionally, they only take place on existing plots.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Hartford&#39;s first cemetery, the Ancient Burying Ground, was established in 1640. By the early 19th century it was filling up, so the city purchased 11 acre of land north of the downtown from farmer Hezekiah Bull for the creation of this cemetery. This purchase was incremented by others in the 19th century, until the cemetery reached its present size of 17 acre. Significant burial plots in the cemetery include this of the Colt and Goodwin families, both prominent in the civic and business leadership of the city. The Weld Monument is a memorial to two brothers, Charles and Lewis Weld, who were soldiers in the American Civil War; Lewis in particular is noted for his leadership of the 41st United States Colored Infantry. A number of the monuments were prepared by the stone cutting firm of James G. Batterson, who is best known for supplying stone for the Connecticut State Capitol.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery is located on the west side of Main Street, and is roughly rectangular in shape, except for a cutout where the Union Baptist Church is located. Its Main Street boundary is lined by a metal picket fence, with the main entrance marked by a pair of brick piers. Adjacent to the entrance is a small brick office, a Queen Anne style structure with a combination of Renaissance and Classical Revival styles. These elements were probably added around 1890. A series of roadways provide a roughly rectangular circulation pattern through the cemetery grounds. The northwestern section of the grounds contain concentrated groups of Jewish and Italian graves.</p><br>
<p>The Charles Ready House, also known as The Corners, is a historic house in Readyville, Tennessee, USA. It is located on the border between Cannon County and Rutherford County.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built for Colonel Charles Ready, a settler, in 1829. The house was run as an inn; guests included presidents Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren and James K. Polk. Upon Ready&#39;s death in 1859, it was inherited by his daughter Jane and her husband, Peter Talley.</p><br>
<p>During the American Civil War, the house was visited by members of both the Confederate States Army and the Union Army. Indeed, Nathan Bedford Forrest and his troops dined in the house on July 13, 1862. By 1863, it was used by Union Colonel William Babcock Hazen and his troops.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural significance</h2><br>
<p>The house was designed in the Federal architectural style.</p><br>
<p>The F. W. Fitch Company Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013. The industrial buildings were built piecemeal between 1917 and 1944 on the west side of the central business district. The main building  and its addition  are located on the north side of Walnut Street, and the soap plant  and the soap plant annex  are located on tthe south sides of Walnut Street. The conributing structure is a tunnel under Walnut that was built either in 1929 or 1942.</p><br>
<p>The F. W. Fitch Company, which manufactured personal care products, occupied the buildings between 1917 and 1949. They dominated much of the shampoo industry from the 1920s through the mid-l940s. They and the Carl Weeks Armand Co., a national cosmetics and perfume manufacturer, gave the city a reputation as a leader in the United States for the personal care products industry. The countrys changing grooming styles and the end of military contracts after World War II led to the company&#39;s demise. They sold all of their assets to Grove Laboratories of St. Louis in 1949. The Fitch family, however, continued to hold the title to the main building into the 1970s when Building Maintenance Services (BMS) bought it. The building housed artists and other design professionals. It was almost torn down in the early 21st-century, but it was spared. Various enterprises have been housed in the soap plant and its annex.</p><br>
<p>Plymouth Place is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Completed in 1968, the 12-story structue rises to a height of 161.01 ft. This circular residential building was designed by local architect Raymond Hueholt. It has an unusual interior plan where a common central living room area is surrounded by peripheral living units. The building is also significant for providing quality affordable senior housing for low-income people regardless of religion or creed. At the time the Greenwood Park Plats Historic District was nominated for the National Register of Historic Places in 2013 it was considered a non-contributing property in the district, but it was considered significant on its own. The building was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>Pinnacle Mountain is the second highest natural point in Pulaski County, Arkansas and main attraction of the 2,356-acre Pinnacle Mountain State Park. It is located in the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains just outside of Little Rock, the capital and most populous city of Arkansas.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The USA Board on Geographic Names once held that any landform greater than 1,000 feet of local relief classified as a mountain, while any landform less than 1,000 feet of local relief classified as a hill. Though Pinnacle Mountain is 1,013 feet above mean sea level, it is only 763 feet of local relief, which would have made it a hill. Due to broad disagreement over this naming convention, the classification system was abandoned in the early 1970s. According to the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), Pinnacle Mountain is a summit, which is defined as “a prominent elevation rising above the surrounding level of the Earth’s surface”, but does not include mountains or hills, among other things.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Contrary to rumors, Pinnacle Mountain is not a volcano. Despite the resemblance to some cinder cones, it is composed of deep-water sedimentary rock, the Pennsylvanian Jackfork Sandstone. Named for Jackfork Mountain in Pittsburg and Pushmataha counties, Oklahoma, the Jackfork Sandstone at Pinnacle Mountain is massive, fine-grained, tan to gray quartzitic sandstone of great hardness. Cinder cones, on the other hand, form from the eruption of mafic lavas. Research proposes that the Jackfork Sandstone was deposited in a developing foreland basin during the early stages of the Ouachita Orogeny. It is conventionally interpreted as a sequence dominated by turbidites in a submarine fan setting, however, diagnostic internal features, such as inverse size grading, indicate sand emplacement by debris flows and slumps in a slope setting. The terrane has been deeply eroded since its deformation during the late Paleozoic.</p><br>
<h2>Hiking</h2><br>
<p>Two routes ascend Pinnacle Mountain: the 1.5-mile West Summit Trail (marked by yellow blazes), which starts at the West Summit parking off of Highway 300, and the 1.5-mile East Summit Trail (marked by red and white blazes), which starts at the East Summit parking lot off of Pinnacle Valley Road. The West Summit Trail is far more trafficked than the East Summit Trail, partly because the East Summit Trail involves scrambling up a steep slope. Both, however, can be quite overcrowded due to their proximity to Little Rock. The 2.5-mile Base Trail (marked by light green blazes) loops completely around the base of Pinnacle Mountain and connects the West Summit and East Summit trailheads. The 223-mile Ouachita Trail (marked by blue blazes) overlaps a 0.5-mile section of the Base Trail and continues another 1.5 miles to the visitor center after crossing Pinnacle Valley Road at the East Summit parking lot.</p><br>
<p>St. Augustin Catholic Church is a Catholic parish in the Diocese of Des Moines located on the west side of Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It was included as a contributing property in the Greenwood Park Plats Historic District and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The parish began when 12 parishioners from St. Ambrose Cathedral petitioned Bishop Thomas W. Drumm for a new west side parish in 1920. He assigned the Rev. John Noonan as the founding pastor, and a part of the former Iowa State Fairgrounds property on Grand Avenue was acquired for $20,000. The prominent Boston architectural firm Maginnis & Walsh, who were known for their ecceciastical work, designed the new parish church. It was built for about for $100,000, and it was dedicated on February 3, 1924.</p><br>
<p>A parish school was established and a seven-room school building was completed in 1926 further west on Grand Avenue. The school was staffed by the Adrian Dominican Sisters. The rectory was added to the church in 1928. A new school building was completed during the pastorate of Msgr. Gerald Walker (1948-1981). The parking lot was enlarged in 1951 when the city discontinued street parking, and a residence at 4111 Grand Avenue was removed around this time. The church complex was enlarged in 1985, 1989, and in 1998. The parking lot and the school building was expanded during the pastorate of Msgr. Frank Bognanno (1990-2000).</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The church is English Gothic in style, and it is dominated by a large square tower located at the crossing. The tower is similar in design to the Plymouth Congregational United Church of Christ immediately to the north. The church complex is a brick structure with Bedford stone trim, and a red flat-tile roof. The stained glass windows are the work of Charles Jay Connick of Boston.</p><br>
<p>The Oxford-Whitney Streets District is a historic district encompassing an early-20th century residential area in the West End neighborhood of Hartford, Connecticut. It extends along the east side of Oxford Street between Elizabeth and Cone Streets, on the west side of Whitney between Fern and Elizabeth, and includes the north side of Fern Street between Whitney and Oxford. Most of the housing, a combination of single and multi-family residences, was built between 1906 and 1919, a period later than the surrounding areas, and is predominantly Colonial Revival in character. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Most of the area that became Oxford and Whitney Streets on Hartford&#39;s west side, was farmland and country estates until roughly 1869. In the 1870s it was platted for development by Eugene L. Kenyon, Willis Thrall, and Sylvanus Cone, but development was slowed by financial panics. Albert and Alfred Gillett purchased large tracts in the area in the 1880s, and began development north of a strip near Farmington Avenue. Whitney Street had been laid out by Kenyon in 1870, but was not accepted by the city until 1896, and the portion of Oxford Street between Cone and Elizabeth was laid out by the Gilletts in 1904. These areas were mostly built out with housing aimed at the lower and middle classes, a contrast to the earlier development which had favored upper and upper-middle class buyers.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is bounded on the north by Elizabeth Street and the south by Cone and Fern Streets. Oxford Street is laid out with slightly larger lot sizes, and has mostly one and two-family buildings. Whitney Street lots are generally smaller, and many of the buildings house more than three units. Most of the buildings are of wood frame construction, although some of these are finished in stucco, and there are a few brick buildings in the district. Almost all are basically Colonial Revival in style and massing, although elements of Prairie, Tudor, Queen Anne and Shingle styling appear throughout the area. There are no non-residential buildings in the district. It is bounded on the south by the National Register-listed Prospect Avenue Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Parkside Historic District encompasses a fine collection of Queen Anne Victorian houses lining the east side of Wethersfield Avenue north of Wawarme Avenue in southern Hartford, Connecticut. This area was developed in the 1880s and 1890s by Mrs. Elizabeth Jarvis Colt, widow of arms manufacturer Samuel Colt, out of a portion of their extensive estate. Of this development, a row of nine houses now remains; it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>When Samuel Colt established his arms factory in Hartford, part of the adjacent land became his extensive personal estate. The bulk of that estate became Hartfords Colt Park, with his mansion house, Armsmear, a National Historic Landmark and part of the nascent Coltsville National Historical Park at the northwest corner. South of Armsmear, along Wethersfield Avenue, the estate grounds housed an apple orchard. Colt built a home for his brother James south of Armsmear in 1856. Colts widow Elizabeth, for reasons unknown, began building houses and selling off lots for development between that house and Wawarme Avenue in the 1880s. She had four houses built, of which two still survive, and sold off eight lots, all of which were eventually built on, with seven of the houses surviving. The west side of Wethersfield Avenue was also developed in the second half of the 19th century with fine Victorian houses; almost all have been torn down and replaced by apartment blocks.</p><br>
<p>The collection of nine surviving buildings represent one of Hartford&#39;s finest concentrations of high-style Queen Anne architecture. They share a uniformity of placement and scale, with similar setbacks and massing, and all 2-1/2 stories set on brownstone foundations. Six have at least partially brick exteriors, while the other three are frame structures finished in clapboards and shingles. All have asymmetrical massing, with projecting gables and bays typical of the Queen Anne period. Notable among them is the c. 1900 home of builder William Scoville at 190 Wethersfield Avenue, which has an octagonal tower at one corner. Scoville is credited with building this house and two others in the row; other architects involved in building these house are Frederick Comstock (one) and Brooks Lincoln (three).</p><br>
<p>The Tiburon Railroad & Ferry Depot Museum is located at 1920 Paradise Drive, on the waterfront of Tiburon, California. It is located in the former San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad Station House/Depot, a Greek Revival building erected in 1886 by the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad. Designed to be movable, the building has historically rested in several places, including a wharf, prior to its present location. The railroad removed its major rail and ferry passenger service to Sausalito about 1920, and usage of this building declined; it was abandoned by the railroad in 1939. It was donated to the town in 1989, and has since been restored for use as a museum. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<p>The Anaconda City Hall, located at 401 E. Commercial in Anaconda, Montana, was built in 1895. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. It is also a contributing building in the Anaconda Commercial Historic District, NRHP-listed in 1998.</p><br>
<p>It is Late Victorian in style, designed by architectural firm Charles Lane & Companys Collins W. Reber and built by Jacobson & Co. It was asserted in 1896 that Lane and Reber "stated the City Hall would be the finest municipal building in the State, and that it would be built in a straighforward manner... using local materials: Anaconda pressed brick, granite, and trimmed with Anaconda copper." It is a 53x102 ft structure. The city hall facade faces onto Commercial Street and includes a 90 ft clock tower; a treasurers office and fire station were located in the west-facing facade.</p><br>
<p>The building was threatened with demolition in 1978 but was saved by a local group which pressed a court action, and was aided by a National Trust for Historic Preservation grant.</p><br>
<p>Furninha  is a natural cave on the southern slope of the Peniche peninsula, in Portugal. It is situated on the cliffs between the Peniche Fortress and the Cape Carvoeiro, facing the sea at 39 ° 2121 "N / 9 ° 244" W.</p><br>
<p>This cave witnesses the most western presence in Europe and in the world of Neanderthal Man (), who probably became extinct over 40,000 years ago. The cave was also inhabited by the Homo Sapiens, during the Neolithic era.</p><br>
<p>The Furninha cave was explored by Nery Delgado at the end of the 19th century. After exhaustive work, he proved that Furninha was of enormous importance as a landmark, on its western extremity, of a vast region inhabited by the Neanderthal Man, which extended through Europe from its eastern borders to the Iberian Peninsula.</p><br>
<p>Delgado’s excavation revealed the existence of animal occupation in the Lower Paleolithic and of human presence at the Middle Paleolithic (Neanderthal) and at the end of Chalcolithic (Modern Man).</p><br>
<p>Delgado also reports the practice of anthropophagy by the Neandertals of Furninha who, despite the proximity of the sea, were mainly hunters.</p><br>
<h2>The conservation state of the cave</h2><br>
<p>Since the exploration by Nery Delgado and for nearly a century, the cave has been totally abandoned, despite persistent appeals to local authorities for the need to preserve and promote Furninha as a world heritage and as an educational and cultural attraction. Almost all the huge collection gathered by Delgado was deposited in a Lisbon museum (), depriving the local institutions of showing significant remains to the local population and the visitors. Only since August 2017 access signaling on the surrounding cliffs has been made, as well as regular cleaning of the cave.</p><br>
<p>On the other hand, close observation of many photographs of interiors of this cave taken by geologists (see references and external links), reveals the existence of a thin film of flora, maybe in close relation with fungi, displaying intense colors, with predominance of green, yellow and red zones, that&#39;s to say, the existence of a unique ecosystem, with the presence of specific micro-fauna, such as tiny sparrows and small greenish bodies, something that has not been the object of any study.</p><br>
<p>Apparently, the walls of the cave are covered with nutrients generated by the mixing of rain waters dropping through the vent of the vault with droplets of seawater entering the cave, carried by the wind on stormy days. These elements are depicted in the feature film (en Cliffs) by Portuguese director Ricardo Costa.</p><br>
<h2>Furninha in the oral tradition</h2><br>
<p>As a record of collective memory, the cave is also known as the Cave of Dominique. Dominique was the name of a wretched and elusive robber who took refuge in Furninha.</p><br>
<p>The Furninha cave is as well associated with legend: the "Legend of a love in Peniche", prefigured in the XVI century by Dona Leonor, the beautiful young daughter of a wealthy gentleman, who opposed the passion she had for a young man, Don Rodrigo, the son of a rival noble family. That’s why some people also call Dona Leonor&#39;s Steps (pt Passos de Dona Leonor) the lower platforms of the surrounding cliffs, since the lady would often go there waiting, on appointed days, for the visit of her lover, who took refuge as a monk in the monastery of Berlenga island, six miles afar, to escape the fury of the jealous father (or to be kept away of Leonor as a punishment ordered by her father, in a different version of the legend). They appointed a rendezvous for a certain day, but Rodrigo arrived later than expected as the sea was rough. Desperate, supposing he would no longer join her, Leonor jumped into the water and drowned. When Rodrigo arrived, he saw her body floating and, embracing her, he let himself sink with her in the rolling waves.</p><br>

<p>Devnimori, or Devni Mori, is an archaeological Buddhist site in northern Gujarat, 2km from the city of Shamlaji, in the Sabarkantha District of Gujarat, India. The site is variously dated to the 3rd century or 4th century CE, or circa 400 CE. Its location was associated with trade routes and caravans in the area of Gujarat. The site was excavated between 1960 and 1963. It is now flooded by a water reservoir.</p><br>
<h2>Archaeological finds</h2><br>
<h3>Buddhist sculptures</h3><br>
<p>The site of Devnimori included numerous terracotta Buddhist sculptures (but no stone sculptures), also dated to the 3rd-4th century CE, and which are among the earliest sculptures that can be found in Gujarat. The style is clearly influenced by the Greco-Buddhist art of Gandhara,</p><br>
<p>The remains are located in the Shamlaji Museum and Baroda Museum & Picture Gallery.</p><br>
<h3>Viharas</h3><br>
<p>Devnimori has a specific construction pattern for a monastery, with an image shrine built opposite the entrance. This kind of arrangement was initiated in northwestern sites such as Kalawan (in the Taxila area) or Dharmarajika. It is thought that this architectural pattern then became the prototype for the later development of monasteries with shrines in Devnimori, Ajanta, Aurangabad, Ellora, Nalanda, Ratnagiri and others. The viharas in Devnimori were built from fired bricks.</p><br>
<p>Devnimori also has residential caves with water cisterns, as at Uparkot in Junagadh.</p><br>
<h3>Stupa</h3><br>
<p>Devnimori also has a stupa where stacked relic deposits were found. This is the only case of a free-standing stupa in the area of Gujarat. Nine images of the Buddha were found inside the stupa. The Buddha images clearly show the influence of the Greco-Buddhist art of Gandhara, and have been described as examples of the Western Indian art of the Western Satraps.</p><br>
<h2>Dates and influences</h2><br>
<p>Three relics caskets were retrieved from the stupa. One of these caskets bears an inscription which mentions a date: the 127th year in the reign of Western Satrap ruler Rudrasena:</p><br>
<p>As Western Satraps dated their coins in the Saka era, this date would be 204 CE, and the ruler would be Rudrasena I. If reckoned with the Kalachuri Era era, the date would be 375 CE, and the ruler Rudrasena III.</p><br>
<p>A second casket included 8 coins of Western Satraps rulers, one of them being a coin of Western Satrap ruler Visvasena (294-305). The coins are worn, but the coins of two other rulers have been found in the group: one coin of Rudrasena I (203-220 CE) and a nearly unworn coin of Rudrasimha (305-313 CE). Overall, and because of these different dates, the site of Devnimori is sometimes dated to the 3rd century, and sometimes to the 4th century. The absence of later Western Satraps coins and the various dates could however suggest that the stupa was rebuilt at one point, with a final construction date not long after 305-313.</p><br>
<p>It has been suggested that the art of Devnimori represented a Western Indian artistic tradition, based on the influence of the Greco-Buddhist art of Gandhara, that was anterior to the rise of Gupta Empire art, and that it may have influenced it, and have influenced the art of the Ajanta Caves, Sarnath and other places from the 5th century onward. Devnimori may also have received some influence from Mathura art.</p><br>
<p>The site may have been deserted following the destructions of the Alchon Huns under Mihirakula in the 6th century CE.</p><br>

<p>The original name of the settlement is not known. It dates back to Hellenistic, Roman and the early Byzantine ages. There are many buildings, cisterns wine and olive oil presses.</p><br>
<p>The Wilbur F. Davidson House is a private house located at 1707 Military Street in Port Huron, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Wilbur F. Davidson was born in Adrian in 1852. He graduated from Howell High School in 1870, and in 1882 he opened a large dry goods store in Port Huron. In 1883 Davidson installed an electric light plant in his store. It was the first such plant in St. Clair County, and proved so successful that Davidson soon organized the Port Huron Light and Power Company, and turned his efforts from dry goods to the electricity business. Over the rest of his life, Davidson organized a number of power companies and electric railways, and branched into other real estate and financial businesses in Port Huron.</p><br>
<p>In 1890, Davidson constructed this house for his family. He lived there until his death in 1912, after which his daughter Cornelia mived in with her husband, Alfred West. They lived there until Alfred&#39;s death in 1950. Don Hampton purchased the house in 1951. In 1970, preservationists sought to restore the house, and renovations continued during the early 1970s.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Wilbur F. Davidson House is a two and one-half story frame Queen Anne house. The first floor has clapboard siding, and scalloped shingles are above. Raised wood decorations on the gables creates a half-timbered effect.</p><br>
<p>It has 23 rooms, including a card room and basement billiard room.There are seven fireplaces in the house. The original trim is still extant, and includes walnut, butternut, oak, and cherry woods. The floors are hardwood throughout. The foyer is beamed and paneled, and contains a prominent staircase with serpentine balusters.</p><br>
<p>The Ward-Holland House is a private house located at 433 North Main Street in Marine City, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Captain Samuel Ward was known throughout Michigan as "Uncle Sam the Steamboat King." In 1819, Ward settled in Marine City and constructed a shipyard and a brickyard. He built this house about 1830, which at the time was described as being one of two brick houses between Detroit and the North Pole. Through the nineteenth century, the Ward family acquired extensive mercantile, shipping, and manufacturing interests, and dominated the shipping trade on the Great Lakes.</p><br>
<p>Ward lived in this house until he died. In 1876, the house was purchased from Ward&#39;s estate by Robert Holland, also a shipbuilder.</p><br>

<p>The Greenwood Park Plats Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013. Most of this district was originally known as Brown&#39;s Park, a private park that was the location of the Iowa State Fair from 1879 to</p><br>
<p>1885. Founded privately in 1854, the fair was held in several locations in the state making it more of a regional event. It was also not profitable. That changed when the fair moved to this location, and its profitablity eventually led to funding from the Iowa General Assembly and a permanent location on the east side of the city. Brown&#39;s Park continued for a while longer and the street car line from Des Moines opened in 1889.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is the northwest section of a former suburb known as Greenwood Park. It was incorporated as a city in the area of Browns Park in 1881, and in 1890 it was annexed into the city of Des Moines. The Greenwood Park Association bought Browns Park 1892. While it was platted for residential development, housing was not built here until 1910 and into the 1920s. For the most part, it continued to be used as a park until then. The part of the district north of Ingersoll Avenue is exclusively residential. Apartment buildings were built in the Greenwood Park Plat from 1918 to 1926, and five of them remain. Three churches were built in the district between 1922 and 1938. They include St. Augustine Catholic Church (1922), Plymouth Congregational Church (1926), now United Church of Christ, and Central Presbyterian Church (1938). Four medical buildings and an office building were built along 39th Street and on Ingersoll Avenue between 1955 and 1961. Prior to this, there was virtually no commercial development in Greenwood Park. Five more were completed between 1963 and 1975.</p><br>

<p>Lagoa Azul can also refer to other lagoons in Brazil, one in Natal, Rio Grande do Sul and the other in Manaús Amazonas, both of these have neighborhoods named after them.</p><br>
<p>Lagoa Azul is a small lagoon in the northern part of the island of São Tomé in São Tomé and Príncipe east of the headland. It is also a beach (Praia de Lagoa Azul) located to its west and a small headland about 400 meters wide, it is a hilly area. The name is Portuguese for the "blue lagoon". South of the headland is the National Route 1 (EN-1). The lagoon are surrounded by cliffs and a grassy landscape (area certainly once forested), the remaining terrain are forested.</p><br>
<p>Nearby is Praia das Conchas and Morro Peixe to the east, Guadalupe to the southeast and Praia Plancas to the southwest. To the south is a mountain slope.</p><br>
<p>In the north of the headland is a lighthouse dating back to the time after the nation became independent, it started construction around 1995 or 1996 and was finished on September 12, 1997.</p><br>
<p>The Polk County Homestead and Trust Company Addition Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016. The end of the 19th-century saw the rise of the Victorian suburbs around Des Moines. This was a period of economic growth for the metropolitan area. The largest of these suburbs was North Des Moines. It was connected to Des Moines by way of three street car lines, whiched added to its attractiveness. Local real estate investors established the Polk County Homestead & Trust Co. to develop the northern portion of North Des Moines in partnership with the Prospect Park Improvement Company.</p><br>
<p>This area was platted in 1884. Polk County Homestead & Trust Co. bought this property from the Prospect Park Improvement Company, and the two advertised the addition together. The streets, alleys, and large town lots of the plat are laid out on a grid, which differs from the surrounding areas curvilinear streets and irregular lots further north and more erratic development to the south. The historic districts period of significance is 1886 when the first house was built, to 1945 when some of the single-family dwellings were converted into multi-family dwellings. The addition is dominated by the Late Victorian and Colonial Revival styles. The Queen Anne style was popular in this middle and upper-middle class neighborhood before the Panic of 1893. Five houses are individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places: the Lowry W. and Hattie N. Goode House (1886), the Chaffee-Hunter House (1886), the Dr. John B. and Anna M. Hatton House (c. 1887), the Dr. Anna E. and Andrew A. Johnstone House (1887), and the William A. and Etta Baum Cottage (1891). The former Norman Wiles Seventh-day Adventist School (c. 1925) is the only institutional building in the historic district.</p><br>
<p>The Polish National Home is an ethnic community support organization in Hartford, Connecticut. Its facilities are located at 60 Charter Oak Avenue, south of downtown Hartford, in an architecturally distinctive Art Deco building. It was built in 1930 to a design by Polish-American architect Henry Ludorf, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Polish immigrants began settling on Hartford southeast side as early as 1889, and the area soon developed as an ethnic enclave. The Roman Catholic Church of Sts Cyril and Methodius was established in 1902 as an early focus of the community. A number of social support organizations were also established, to lend assistance to arriving immigrants and provide mutual assistance. In 1917 the Polish National Corporation was founded as an umbrella for these efforts. In 1918, after the church moved to a new building, it occupied the church&#39;s old building. This organization changed its name to the Polish National Home Corporation in 1927, and solicited plans from Polish-American architects for construction of a new home. This project was awarded to Henry Ludorf, and the present edifice was built with funds raised from the local Polish community. It was dedicated in 1930, and continues to serve as a focal point for local Polish cultural events.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Architecturally, the Homes building is a distinctive local example of Art Deco architecture. Its facades facing Charter Oak Avenue and Governor Street are finished in buff brick, with a central projecting entry section of ashlar concrete block. Eagle crests (the eagle being a symbol of Polish identity) are found above the entrance, and in panels above the windows in the projecting section. Stylized piers with Art Deco capitals separate the main windows on the Governor Street facade, and both facades have small octagonal windows placed at several levels. The octagonal pattern is repeated in the interior fixtures of the hall, which are also part of Ludorfs original design. The interior space is organized with a banquet hall, bar, and kitchen on the ground floor, and a large auditorium space on the second level.</p><br>
<p>Iinozuka Tomb Cluster is cluster of Kofun period tombs located in what is now the city of Natori, Miyagi Prefecture in the Tōhoku region of northern Japan. The site consists of five keyhole-shaped kofun and two rectangular-shaped kofun.</p><br>
<p>The site is located on the northern side of hill located approximately 2 kilometers south of Natori Station in th Natori Plains. From the shape and construction of the mounds and the grave goods recovered in archaeological investigations, the tombs are believed to date from the 4th century AD. The two largest kofun have a length of 65 meters, and the next two have a length of 60 meters. The remaining keyhole-shaped kofun has a length of 40 meters. The two rectangular tombs have a length of 14.2 meters on each side. The site was endangered by the expansion of nearby housing developments in the early 1970s. However, after excavation work was performed by the Natori Board of Education in 1975 and 1976, the presence of an unusual number of large keyhole-shaped kofun located so close together drew attention, and the site received protection by the central government as a National Historic Site.</p><br>
<p>Yanase-ura site is the ruins of a Jōmon period settlement located in what is now the city of Kakuda, Miyagi Prefecture in the Tōhoku region of northern Japan. The site received protection by the central government as a National Historic Site.</p><br>
<p>The site is located on a slight elevation located in the western Kakuda Basin near the Abukuma River, north of the urban center of Kakuda. The site measures approximately 100 meters by 50 meters with artifacts located in soil levels up to 2 meters in depth. From pollen analysis and from the clay pottery, stoneware and animal bones uncovered, the site is estimated to date from the mid-Jōmon through the early Yayoi period. The foundations of numerous pit dwellings from the late Jomon period and graves from the middle and late Jomon period were uncovered during archaeological excavations from 1975-76.</p><br>
<p>The Marine City City Hall is a government building located at 300 Broadway Street in Marine City, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1883, Marine City citizens approved the construction of a new City Hall and fire station. In early 1884, the city council contracted architects George Mason and Zachariah Rice to design the building, and hired local contractor Morley and Bower to construct it. The building was completed in early 1885. In 1910, an addition was constructed on the rear to house the fire hall.</p><br>
<p>The City Hall suffered physical deterioration over the course of the 20th century. In 2011, a group was formed to preserve and renovate the building.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Marine City City Hall is a two-story, rectangular red brick Queen Anne structure, sitting on a rusticated stone foundation and topped with a hipped roof. The structure measures 45 feet by 95 feet. It has rounded arch doors and windows and two towers: one squared and one octagonal.</p><br>
<p>The main facade of the building contains a formal entryway in the center, though a rounded arch double door. Ocular windows are on the first and second story levels, and a decorative pediment extends above the cornice on one side. To the left is the square tower, with another entranceway at the first floor level, an open balcony above, and a curved, bell-shaped roof.</p><br>
<p>The octagonal tower has rounded arch windows at each story and an octagonally pointed roof. The 1910 addition to the rear is a flat-roofed, single story structure.</p><br>
<p>Craig Rhiwarth is a mountain in the Berwyn range, in Powys , Wales, overlooking the village of Llangynog to the south. On the summit is an Iron Age hillfort, and there are remains of slate quarrying on the southern slopes.</p><br>
<h2>Prehistoric remains</h2><br>
<p>The altitude of Craig Rhiwarth is 532 m; the hillfort is one of the highest in Wales. The size of the enclosure is about 850 m east to west by 400 –. The site has precipitous slopes on all sides except the north: on this side there is a ruinous stone wall above a scarp. There is a simple entrance near the centre of the wall and a slanting entrance at the west end.</p><br>
<p>Within this area are the foundations of about 170 circular stone structures, of diameter 4 –. It is thought that the settlement may have begun in the late Bronze Age and continued into the Iron Age, and that its function probably ceased by the time of the Roman conquest in the 1st century A.D. There are also a few rectangular hafodydd, probably of medieval date, relating to seasonal settlement.</p><br>
<h2>Slate quarries</h2><br>
<p>On the southern slopes of Craig Rhiwarth are the remains of slate quarries. A, quarry is known to have been there by 1705. There was much activity in the early 19th century, but this declined later in the century; there was revival in the early 20th century, when the Tanat Valley Light Railway opened. Final closure was in 1940–41.</p><br>
<p>The Arthur G. Pomeroy House is a historic house at 490 Ann Uccello Street in Hartford, Connecticut. Built in 1882 for a wealthy tobacco grower, it is a locally distinctive combination of Queen Anne and High Victorian Gothic architecture executed in brick. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Arthur G. Pomery House is located in Hartford&#39;s Clay-Arsenal neighborhood, on the east side of Ann Uccello Street (formerly Ann Street), north of Chapel Street and Interstate 84. It is a 2-1/2 story masonry structure, built out of red brick with stone trim. Its main block is covered by a hip roof with a rectangular flat-roof monitor section at its center. This basic shape is obscured by a wealth of projecting gable sections and porches that typify the Queen Anne style. Large gables project both to the front and side, and are adorned with Gothic vergeboard. A single-story hip-roof porch extends between these two sections, wrapping around a corner turret in the process. The porch has turned posts with brackets at the top, and a low balustrade. A gabled section projects above the main stairs.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1882 for Arthur Pomeroy, a wealthy tobacco farmer from Suffield. At the time of its construction, the area was a quiet residential area of similar (though generally less elaborate) houses. It has since been transformed by the highway and urban renewal, with most of the housing replaced by apartment houses or commercial buildings. This house is one of the few surviving reminders of that residential past. It now houses professional offices.</p><br>
<p>Scholes Hall is the historic administration building of the University of New Mexico, located on the main campus in Albuquerque. It was the first of many buildings designed for the university by Santa Fe architect John Gaw Meem, who helped to cement the Pueblo Revival style as the "official" architecture of the campus. Built in 1934–36 with Public Works Administration funding, it is regarded as one of Meem&#39;s most notable designs.</p><br>
<p>It is listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties and the National Register of Historic Places,</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Scholes Hall was the first of three major UNM buildings built in the 1930s under the direction of President James F. Zimmerman (1887–1944) and designed by Santa Fe architect John Gaw Meem. Meem had been introduced to Zimmerman by John J. Dempsey, a member of the Board of Regents who was a mutual acquaintance. The university had a pressing need for more space, and Meem was commissioned in 1933 to design a new administration building even though no funding was available. Much of the design work was already complete when the university finally secured a Public Works Administration grant to pay for the building in August 1934.</p><br>
<p>Meems plans were approved in November 1934, and construction began the following month. Due to the tight budget, cheaper materials had to be substituted in some cases and ornamentation was kept to a minimum. The building was completed in January 1936 and cost $260,000. It still houses the universitys main administrative offices.</p><br>
<p>In 1948, the ship&#39;s bell from the USS New Mexico was installed in one of the bell towers. It was moved to its own freestanding tower near Smith Plaza in 1964.</p><br>
<p>Scholes Hall was listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1975 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Scholes Hall is an example of the Pueblo Revival style for which Meem was best known, drawing inspiration from New Mexicos traditional adobe architecture with stepped massing, battered walls and parapets, and projecting vigas. In particular, Meems design was modeled after the 1692 San Estevan Del Rey Mission Church at Acoma Pueblo. The building is H-shaped, with a symmetrical, three-story central block, bell towers, and asymmetrical two-story wings. The walls are brick and structural clay tile stuccoed to look like adobe. The central block has a portal or portico with wooden columns, corbels, and vigas, symmetrical groupings of 6-over-6 sash windows, and a third-floor balcony with wooden corbels and railings. The wings have faux vigas and precast concrete spandrels decorated with Art Deco Native American designs on the east and west sides, and doorways with carved wooden ornamentation on the north and south sides.</p><br>
<p>The building originally served as a terminating vista for Terrace Street, which ended in a circular driveway at the intersection with Ash Street. When the campus was closed to vehicular traffic in the 1970s, the streets were replaced with a grassy landscape called Ash Mall.</p><br>
<p>Raven Lake is a freshwater body of Canada that straddles the boundary between:</p><br>
<p>Northwest in the &#39;province of Quebec, in Rouyn-Noranda (sector of Montbeillard), in administrative region of Abitibi-Témiscamingue</p><br>
<p>Northeastern Ontario, in the District of Timiskaming (township of McFadden Geo).</p><br>
<p>The dividing line between the two provinces is in the northeastern part of Raven Lake.</p><br>
<p>Forestry is the main economic activity of the sector; recreational tourism activities, second. The resort is developed on the North Shore and in a bay in the Southeast, close to the south side of the largest island of this body of water. This hydrographic slope is served on the north side by Route 117 (East-West direction).</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>
<p>The main hydrographic slopes near Raven Lake are:</p><br>
<p>North side: Boundary Lakes, Labyrinthe Lake, Dasserat River</p><br>
<p>East side: Hébert Lake, Dufay Lake, Granville River</p><br>
<p>South side: Laberge River, Loutre Creek</p><br>
<p>West side: Larder River, Larder Lake, Sharp Creek.</p><br>
<p>This body of water, which has the shape of a large V open to the Southeast, includes Hannigan Bay (Northwest shore).</p><br>
<p>The mouth of Lake Raven is located at:</p><br>
<p>4.0 km Southeast of Larder Lake</p><br>
<p>4.9 km West of the Quebec - Ontario border</p><br>
<p>27.4 km Northeast of the mouth of the Larder River (confluence with the Blanche River (Lake Temiscaming)</p><br>
<p>51.2 km Northwest of the Blanche River (Lake Temiscaming)</p><br>
<p>From the mouth of Raven Lake, the Larder River flows over 51.0 km, forming a hook to the west, before spilling onto the northeast shore of the Blanche River (Lake Temiscaming). The latter flows southeast to Lake Timiskaming, which straddles the Ontario - Quebec border.</p><br>
<h2>Toponymy</h2><br>
<p>The term "Raven" is a family name of English origin.</p><br>
<p>The name "Lac Raven" was officialized on December 5, 1968 by the Commission de toponymie du Québec, when it was created.</p><br>
<p>The Warren-Guild-Simmons House, also known as Fairview Inn, is a historic mansion in Jackson, Mississippi, USA.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in 1909 for Cyrus C. Warren, the vice president of the Warren-Goodwin Lumber Company. Felix Gunter, the president of the Jackson Board of Trade, was the homeowner from 1913 to 1921, when it was purchased by W. E. Guild, the treasurer of the Finkbine Lumber Company. D. C.

<p>In the 1950s, it belonged to the president of the Jackson Citizens&#39; Councils, a white supremacist.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural significance</h2><br>
<p>The house was designed in the Colonial Revival style by the architectural firm Spencer & Powers.</p><br>
<p>The Pine Grove Historic District encompasses a well-preserved collection of primarily 19th-century farmsteads, located near one another and a local district school building in Avon, Connecticut. Centered around the junction of West Avon and Harris Roads are four 19th-century farmsteads, one dating to the 18th century, and the 1865 Gothic Revival Pine Grove School. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Avon was incorporated in 1830 out of part of Farmington. It was before then largely farmland worked by people who lived in Farmington village. In the 19th century, agricultural practices in the region began to shift from subsistence to the production of cash crops, most notably tobacco. The Thompson and Woodford families were major landowners in what is now south-central Avon, and both were among the early landowners to build houses on their farmland. The Thompson House has not survived; it originally stood at 712 West Avon Road, where the 1856 Gothic Oliver Thompson House now stands. It was moved for the construction of the latter house, and was razed in the 1960s. The oldest surviving house in the area is that of Isaac Woodford (687 West Avon Road), built in 1789.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is basically linear in shape, extending north-south along West Avon Road between Thompson Road and Harris Road. The Pine Grove School stands at the southwest corner of West Avon and Harris. Southeast of the school on Harris Road is the David Rood House (1820), which anchors the southern end of the district. The district includes five farmhouses, all of woodframe construction and finished in clapboards. All were built between 1789 and 1856, and are stylistically diverse, ranging from the Federal styling of the Woodford House to the Italianate of the Thompson house. The school is distinctive with its Gothic bargeboard trim.</p><br>
<p>The Noden-Reed Museum is a historic house museum at 58 West Street in Windsor Locks, Connecticut. It includes the David Pinney House and Barn, and is a surviving reminder of the town&#39;s agricultural past. It is administered by the local historical society, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The town of Windsor Locks was originally part of Windsor, and was separately incorporated in 1854. Its economic activity was dominated by agriculture, with a boost given by the industrial and transport activity surrounding the Enfield Falls Canal, which allowed freight traffic to bypass rapids on the Connecticut River. David Pinney was a farmer working lands up from the river, about whom little is known. In 1826 he built the brick barn, and in the 1840s he built a Greek Revival house. The choice of brick for the barn was extremely unusual, because it was comparatively expensive for what is normally a utilitarian farm building. His farmlands were donated to the town in 1974 by the Reed family, most of which are now managed as a public park. The house and barn now form a small museum complex on the west side of West Street, managed by the local historical society.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The house is an L-shaped wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. It presents a gabled front on the right, with a recessed ell extending the left. A single-story porch extends across the face of the ell, supported by paired round columns. The house is not of particular architectural distinction. The barn is one of the only such structures known to exist in the state, and has remained in good condition since its construction. It is a two-story structure, covered by a gabled roof topped by a louvered cupola. On its main facade, there are three slightly pointed arch openings, which provide vehicular access to its interior, and there are two pedestrian entrances as well. These are not placed with symmetry or regularity, and are interspersed with a few sash windows. On the interior it is divided into three sections, with stalls for large animals on one side and small animals on the other. It also houses a collection of agricultural implements from a variety of time periods.</p><br>
<p>The John Robbins House is a historic house at 262 Old Main Street in Rocky Hill, Connecticut. Normally attributed a construction date of 1767, it is considered one of the finest examples of brick Georgian architecture in the state. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The John Robbins House stands in northeastern Rocky Hill, on the east side of Old Main Street just north of its junction with Matteson Avenue. It is a 2-1/2 story masonry structure, built out of red brick supposedly fashioned from clay taken out of a local field. It has a five-bay front facade, with a transom window above the center entrance, and a Palladian window on the second level above the entrance. It has a gambrel roof, with chimneys at the ends, and three gabled dormers piercing the steep level of the roof. The side elevations each have a round window near the roof peak. A single-story gambrel-roofed ell extends to the rear. The interior follows a central hall plan, with four rooms on each floor, and a ballroom space in the attic level. Six of the rooms retain original period wood paneling, and the left parlor includes a period cabinet with flanking fluted pilasters.</p><br>
<p>The land on which the house stands, originally part of Wethersfield, was acquired in 1638 by John Robbins, the grandfather of the John Robbins who is supposed to have built this house. The grandson is conventionally claimed to have built this house in 1767, at which time he was operating a tavern called The Duke of Cumberland. A tavern sign, dated to 1773, supports the contention that this house was standing then. However, one architectural historian notes that the sign may have been associated with a different building, and suggests that the present house may have been built closer to 1790, in keeping with some of its early Federal period features, including the Palladian window and the lunette windows in the gables.</p><br>
<p>The house remained in the Robbins family until 1914.</p><br>
<p>The Anglican Lynch Chapel Of Ease in West Lynch, Selworthy, Somerset, England was built around 1530. It is a Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The chapel was built around 1503 and was used by monks from Athelney Abbey but then became a private chapel for use by the lord of the nearby manor house.</p><br>
<p>The building was used as a store for the nearby farm but was been returned to religious use in the 1880s by Thomas Dyke Acland. In 1880 it was restored and the addition of a porch completed around 1904 in memory of Henry Goddard.</p><br>
<p>The parish of Selworthy is within the Porlock and Porlock Weir benefice within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The stone building is supported by diagonal buttresses and has a slate roof. It has a ribbed open wagon roof.</p><br>
<p>The Delta Kappa Gamma Society International Headquarters Building is a historic building at 416 West 12th Street in Austin, Texas. Since its construction in 1956, this International style building has housed the international headquarters of Delta Kappa Gamma, a professional society supporting the advancement of women founded in 1929. It was designed by the Austin firm Kuehne, Brooks and Barr. Architecturally, it is a C-shaped concrete and steel structure, two stories in height, with a main upper level, and a second basement level that is partially obscured by the sloping terrain of the lot. Its design includes hallmarks of the International style propounded by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe: intersecting horizontal and vertical planes that highlight a variety of materials, including different colors of brick, concrete blocks, and marble.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<p>The Arthur C. and Mary S.A. Nash House is a historic home in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, located at 124 South Boundary Street.</p><br>
<p>It is a privately owned single dwelling building in the Colonial Revival style and made of weatherboard, asphalt, and brick. Designed in 1926 by architect Arthur C. Nash, the two-and-a-half story house was originally listed as 513 Cameron Avenue and later 513 Boundary Street until it was changed to its current address in the 1980s.</p><br>
<p>The house sits on a rectangular lot, 0.55 acre, in the Battle Estate Development near the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It was renovated in the 1950s and again around 1983 before being rehabilitated in 2016 using Nash&#39;s blueprints.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 26, 2017 as a contributing building in the Chapel Hill Historic District created 1973.</p><br>
<p>The Harrington Hotel, also known as the Harrington Inn, is a hotel located at 1026 Military Street in Port Huron, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Charles Harrington was a prominent attorney and investor who was born in Port Huron in 1842. At that time, his family&#39;s home and property were located at the site now occupied by the Harrington Hotel. In 1896, Harrington had this hotel constructed on the same site. The hotel became the center of social and political life in Port Huron, and hosted such dignitaries as Secretary of War William Gibbs McAdoo, Michigan Governor John T. Rich, actor Otis Skinner, comedian Eddie Foy Sr., boxer Robert Fitzsimmons, actor Robert B. Mantell, and Thomas Edison. In 1919, Harry S. Truman and his wife Bess spent their honeymoon at the Harrington Hotel.</p><br>
<p>Harrington managed the hotel until 1923. IN 1940, the movie Young Tom Edison premiered in Port Huron, and a number of famous guests stayed at the Harrington, including Mickey Rooney, Louis B. Mayer, Harvey S. Firestone Jr., Edsel Ford, and Father Edward J. Flanagan, founder of Boys Town. However, the hotel experienced financial difficulties in the 1950s and into the 1960s. By the early 1980s, half the rooms were being rented on a weekly or monthly basis. The Inn closed in 2017.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Harrington Hotel is a five story, red brick building located on a corner lot.

<p>The Memphis Tennessee Garrison House is a historic house at 1701 10th Avenue in Huntington, West Virginia. Built about 1920, this modest two-story frame house was the home of Memphis Tennessee Garrison , a leading figure in the advance of African-American civil rights in Huntington, for the last forty years of her life. Garrison was a teacher, political organizer, and influential leader of the local branch of the NAACP. She was the first female of the West Virginia State Teachers Association, and vice-president of the American Teachers Association, an association of teachers working in segregated schools.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017. It is in the process of being converted into a museum.</p><br>
<p>The Unni Robbins II House is a historic house at 1092 Main Street in Newington, Connecticut. Built in 1792, it is a well-preserved example of Georgian architecture, notable for its particularly fine interior. It is also notable for its long association with locally prominent families. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Unni Robbins II House is located in central Newington, south of the town center, on the east side of Main Street just south of Robbins Avenue. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a side gable roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. It is set high above the road, with a fenced embankment separating the two. The main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance framed by simple moulding. The interior follows a center chimney plan typical of mid-18th century houses, including a winding staircase in the entry vestibule. Interior walls are generally finished in plaster, with paneled fireplace walls and doors, and crown moulding at the ceiling. The main parlor also includes a builtin cabinet.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1792 for Unni Robbins II, a descendant of one of Connecticuts early 17th-century settlers, John Robbins. Its essentially Georgian character is fairly conservative, considering many more urbanized settings were already seeing Federal style housing at the time of its construction. The Robbinses were early settlers of the Newington area, which was until 1871 part of Wethersfield, and Unni III and his brother David Lowry Robbins were among the towns wealthiest landowners. Unni III&#39;s son Henry eventually reunited many Robbins family holdings, operating them as a gentleman farmer. The house was sold out of the family in 2001.</p><br>
<p>Rockwood Park is a public park in Bristol, Connecticut. Located in a residential area west of downtown Bristol, it includes open spaces and woodlands on either side of the Pequabuck River. Park amenities include a swimming pool, sports fields, and a playground. Many of the parks buildings are built out of rustic cobblestone, and include several follies. The park, the citys first public park, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Setting and layout</h2><br>
<p>Rockwood Park is an elongated area of 104 acre, extending from Steele Road in the east to Park Street and Terryville Road in the west. The Pequabuck River, a swiftly flowing stream, roughly bisects the western two-thirds of the park, running south of the park&#39;s eastern lobe. The northernmost portions of the park are heavily wooded steep terrain, and are undeveloped except for hiking trails. The southern portions are more level, and include two artficial ponds, a large lawn for passive recreation, and a cluster of sports fields and playground.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The buildings and structures of the park are characterized by rustic cobblestone architecture. The three main entrances to the park each have gates built out of cobblestone, that at Dutton Avenue the most elaborate. The most architecturally sophisticated building is the Summerhouse, a pavilion structure featuring rounded arches and roof finials.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The park was donated to the city in 1914 by Albert Rockwell, the owner of a local manufacturer of automotive parts, doorbells, and other products. Rockwell retained Sheffield Arnold, a landscape architect based in Boston, Massachusetts, to design the park. The parks early inclusion of recreational amenities is typical of parks of the early 20th century, and a departure from earlier parks, which often emphasized carriage roads and passive uses. The parkland was originally part of the Rockwell estate, and the Rockwells original gift of 80 acre was enlarged over the years by further gifts. The Rockwells also regularly contributed additional funds for maintenance and new facilities. The park was the citys only public park until 1933.</p><br>
<p>St Aldhelm&#39;s Well in Doulting, Somerset, England, is an ancient spring which is the source of the River Sheppey. The site is a Grade II listed building, although it is a medieval site, most of what remains has been rebuilt.</p><br>
<p>The well was named after St Aldhelm after he died in Doulting village in 709, some accounts say on the day of his death he sat by the well singing psalms before being carried up to the church in the village where he passed away. The Church of St Aldhelm in Doulting was dedicated to Aldhelm in the 8th century.</p><br>
<p>Folklore has attributed healing powers to the spring water in which pilgrims were known to have bathed, the well is still visited by people who use the water and leave flowers and other offerings of reverence. The spring has never been known to fail, even in times of drought.</p><br>
<p>Water flows through two low pointed arches in a stone wall in the hillside, along a bathing pool with stone sides and collapsed stone walls on each side. The carved masonry which can be seen around the site indicates the bathing pool would have once had a roof over it. The water passes through a wall to fill a stone drinking trough in the lane below, pouring over the trough&#39;s edge into a grate in the floor. The water passes under the lane into a confluence with a group of springs to the west of Doulting to become the River Sheppey, which ultimately joins the River Brue.</p><br>
<p>Next to the well is a chamber containing the remains of a waterwheel which once pumped water up the hill to supply drinking water for Doulting village, a well head built in the late 19th century still stands in the village featuring a wrought-iron pump handle. The well head is also a Grade II listed building.</p><br>
<p>The Rockeskyller Kopf near Rockeskyll in the county of Vulkaneifel in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate is a hill, in the Eifel mountains. It is an extinct volcano complex from the Quaternary period, around 360,000 years old and is designated as a natural monument .</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<h3>Location</h3><br>
<p>The Rockeskyller Kopf lies within the Volcanic Eifel Nature Park. Its summit rises around 1 kilometre west of Rockeskyll, 1 kilometre east of Bewingen and 1.6 kilometres southeast of Dohm-Lammersdorf. Flowing past the hill to the east is the Kaulbach, a right headstream of the Hangelsbach which passes to the southeast; the latter discharges southeast of the hill near the Pelm settlement of Schloßbrunnen Gerolstein into the Kyll which in turn runs past to the southwest and south.</p><br>
<h3>Natural regions</h3><br>
<p>The Rockeskyller Kopf belongs to the natural regional major unit group of the East Eifel (no. 27), in the major unit of the Limestone Eifel (276), in the sub-unit of the Northern Volcanic Eifel (276.8) and to the natural regions of Kyll-Volcanic Eifel (Kyll-Vulkaneifel, 276.80) in the west and Dockweiler Volcanic Eifel (Dockweiler Vulkaneifel, 276.81) in the east.</p><br>
<h2>Surrounding volcanic region</h2><br>
<p>The Rockeskyller Kopf is part of a volcanic complex, which comprises several cinder cones that are interconnected. The neighbouring kuppen of the Mäuseberg and Giesenheld also belong to this complex. Experts estimate that there were five to seven eruption sites which built up successively during the course of volcanic activity and were linked together and overlapped.</p><br>
<p>The cinder cone the typical positive landscape and volcanic shape of the Eifel – in contrast with the maars, which as volcanic pipes represent a negative landscape form.</p><br>
<h2>Formation</h2><br>
<p>The formation of the Rockeskyller Kopf began, as in the case of the maars, with steam explosions, which piled up coarse-grained lapilli. Next came Strombolian eruptions, as the intermittent ejection of incandescent cinder is called. The hot cinders melted on impact to become scoria, which is easily confused with lava flows. In the final phase, lava streams were outpoured, whose remains may still be seen as lava sheets or pipe filling.</p><br>
<p>The photograph of the longitudinally section rim of the crater shows this succession. The reddish strata sloping to the left are the depositions of lapilli. On their right flank follow, first of all, a thin layer of ejected material (tuff) and then the thicker, black layer of scoria.</p><br>
<h2>Protected areas</h2><br>
<p>On the Rockeskyller Kopf are parts of the protected landscape of Gerolstein and Surrounding Area (Gerolstein und Umgebung, CDDA no. 321065; designated in 1983; 124.1171 km²) and of the Vulkaneifel bird reserve (VSG no. 5706-401; 11.25 km²).</p><br>
<p>Dirgantara Monument , also known as Gatot Kaca Monument after the Javanese wayang figure, is a monument located in Jakarta, Indonesia. It is also known Tugu Pancoran, tugu a word for statue and pedestal, and being located in South Jakarta&#39;s subdistrict of Pancoran. The monument was commissioned by President Sukarno in 1964 as a tribute to the Indonesian Air Force and early Indonesian aviators who flew against the Dutch to help achieve independence.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Dirgantara Monument is situated on the junction of Jalan Gatot Subroto and Jalan M.T. Haryono and looks along Jalan Dr. Supomo into the suburb of Tebet. Tebet suburb itself was developed from the early 1960s to house people displaced by the construction of the Gelora Bung Karno sports complex at Senayan.</p><br>
<p>The monument soars on top of a 27 meters high arched socle. The statue on top of the socle is a 11 meters bronze sculpture of a man, weighing 11 tons. The statue depicts the manusia angkasa, "space man", symbolizes the conquest of space by the nation.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The idea for the construction of the monument came from President Soekarno who wanted a statue as a homage to Indonesian airways, and to the conquest of space. The chosen location is in front of the headquarter of the Indonesian Air Force designed by Silaban (demolished, now the office complex Wisma Aldiron Dirgantara). The location chosen was strategic because it is also the gateway to Jakarta for visitors coming from Halim Perdanakusuma Airport.</p><br>
<p>The statue was designed by Edhi Sunarso around 1964 - 1965 with the help of the Arca Family of Yogyakarta. While the casting process is carried out by the Decorative Bronze Art Bronze Sculpture of Yogyakarta led by I Gardono. The development process is done by PN Hutama Karya with Ir. Sutami as the executing architect. Sukarno partly funded the construction of this monument after he sold his private car.</p><br>
<p>Unlike many monuments of the 1960s; the construction of the Dirgantara Monument took a long time to complete due to the September 30th Movement of the PKI in 1965 and their aftermath. During the delay, the monument was left without its bronze sculpture for more than a year. Rumors spread that the monument depicts an eye extractor said to be used by the PKI during the torture of the generals, although this has been repeatedly bashed by President Sukarno. The bronze sculpture was assembled section by section (each section of the bronze sculpture weighted about 1 ton) until it was finally completed at the end of 1966, completing the Dirgantara Monument.</p><br>
<p>During the late 90s two elevated toll roads were constructed, flanking the monument in front and at the back.</p><br>
<h2>Popular culture</h2><br>
<p>Several notable nicknames for the Dirgantara Monument are "Truper" (a corruption of "trooper"), as some people think the statue depicts a parachutist, the rags of clothes is taken as remnants of a parachute. The arch which is shaped like number seven, contributes to it being nicknamed the "Seven-up Man". The Dutch in Jakarta called it "Ard Schenk", because the posture of the arms are reminiscent of a skater.</p><br>
<p>The Wildbretshügel, at, is the third highest hill in the Kermeter, an upland region which is part of the Northern Eifel. It is located near Gemünd and Hasenfeld in the counties of Euskirchen and Düren in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Within the Rur Eifel, which is part of the Northern Eifel, the Wildbretshügel rises between the Rur and Urft Reservoirs in the Eifel National Park. Its summit is located in the extreme north of the borough of Schleiden on the territory of Gemünd, a large part of it belonging to the borough of Heimbach and parish of Hasenfeld.</p><br>
<h2>Leisure</h2><br>
<p>Numerous hiking and cycling trails make the Wildbretshügel a popular destination for excursions. The view of the Rur Reservoir and its surrounding woods is appreciated by the visitors. Since the establishment of the Eifel National Park, several hiking trails on the Wildbretshügel have been closed to create quiet zones for animals and plants.</p><br>
<p>The Großer Hermannsberg is a mountain, 867 metres high, south of the main ridge of the Thuringian Forest in the county of Schmalkalden-Meiningen in Germany.</p><br>
<h2>Location and area</h2><br>
<p>To the north and immediately below the mountain is the village of Oberschönau and the adjacent Kanzlersgrund. Behind them is the main ridge of the Thuringian Forest with its long-distance trail, the Rennsteig. In front of the ridge are the mountains of Hohe Möst and Hoher Stein. To the southwest lies Bermbach, to the southeast is Zella-Mehlis and to the east is Oberhof.</p><br>
<h2>Routes to the summit</h2><br>
<p>From Oberschönau or the Kanzlersgrund via the Oberschönau Hiking Hut (Ski- und Wanderhütte Oberschönau), past the plateau of the Kleiner Hermannsberg. From the Fuhrmannswiese pasture south of the mountain a path runs steeply uphill to the northern viewing rocks with their refuge hut. From this hut a path runs south to the main summit and its viewing rocks. As a return route a path can be taken from the Fuhrmannswiese on the north side of the mountain which returns to the hiker&#39;s hut.</p><br>
<p>From the hiker&#39;s car park at the Knüllfeld the route heads for Ruppberg, before crossing the Fuhrmannswiese diagonally and continuing as above.</p><br>
<h2>Summit description</h2><br>
<p>From the northern lookout rocks, the path runs along below the summit which, according to an inscription, is actually 873 metres high. From the path there is a further view of the Rhön mountains. Continuing towards the viewing rocks there is a view looking east by a small rock (see photograph below). The actual viewing rocks may be climbed using steps hewn out of the rock and a safety cable; the top is protected by railings. The top of these rocks is recorded on all the maps as being 867 metres high.</p><br>

<p>West Irian Liberation Monument or Irian Jaya Liberation Monument  is a monument located in Jakarta, Indonesia. It is located in the center of Lapangan Banteng  in Sawah Besar. Sukarno, then President of Indonesia, commissioned the monument in 1963 following the West New Guinea dispute in which Indonesia received the territory of Western New Guinea from the Netherlands.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The West Irian Liberation Monument is located in the center of Lapangan Banteng, facing west towards the St. Ursula Catholic School across the road from the park. The park itself was formerly known as the Waterloo Plein, a parade ground of the colonial administration.</p><br>
<p>On top of the monument, visible as a 36-meter high pedestal, stands a bronze, bare chested wild-haired man breaking free from his shackles with his arms and legs widely spread, the former facing towards the sky. The face holds a loud, screaming expression, symbolizing rebellion and independence.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the Netherlands still possessed the western part of New Guinea, which it had agreed to discuss a year after the Round Table Conference. Following failed negotiations and the incorporation of the region into Netherlands, Sukarno decided to adopt a more forceful stance, later escalating into military operations such as Operation Trikora. After the New York Agreement in 1962, the Netherlands agreed to hand over the territory to Indonesia.</p><br>
<p>The concept design of the statue was sketched by painter Henk Ngantung, and the structure had Frits Silaban as an architect, although Edhi Sunarso was responsible for the sculpting of the statue. It is said that the inspiration of the statue came from a speech by Sukarno in Yogyakarta, in which he declared that he will "liberate West Irian by any means necessary".</p><br>
<p>The statue was officially commemorated on 17 August 1963, at the 18th independence day of the country and a year after it began construction. As of today, the monument is under the responsibility of Jakarta&#39;s parks services.</p><br>
<p>The Abrau Peninsula is a north-western spur of the Greater Caucasus Mountain Range, located on the Black Sea between Novorossiysk and Anapa, in the Krasnodar Region of Russia. It contains the Utrish State Nature Reserve.</p><br>
<h2>Climate and ecology</h2><br>
<p>The Abrau Peninsula is the only place in Russia that harbours a Mediterranean vegetation. The climate of the Abrau Peninsula is sub-Mediterranean with cool rainy winters without a stable snow cover and with hot dry summers. The mean annual precipitation is 500 mm, the mean July and February temperatures are 23.7°C and 2.7°C, respectively. The area vegetation consists of three major belts: (1) coastal slopes with sub-Mediterranean xerophytic forests and shrublands with pistachio (Pistacia mutica), juniper (Juniperus excelsa, J. oxycedrus, J. foetidissima), oak (Quercus pubescens) and oriental hornbeam (Carpinus orientalis); (2) piedmont and low-mountain area with a combination of mesophitic and xerophitic forests and a predominance of two oak species (Q. pubescens, Q. petraea), oriental hornbeam and junipers; (3) low mountains with mesophitic deciduous forests with a domination of oak (Q. petraea), hornbeam (Carpinus caucasica), lime (Tilia begoniifolia), maple (Acer laetum), ash (Fraxinus excelsior) and beech (Fagus orientalis).</p><br>
