<p>The Ladies of the Maccabees Building is a fraternal organization building, located at 901 Huron Avenue in Port Huron, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Knights of the Maccabees, a fraternal organization, was organized in 1878, and re-organized in 1881 as the "Knights of the Modern Maccabees". The Ladies of the Modern Maccabees were organized in 1886 as an auxiliary of the organization. The Ladies of the Modern Maccabees grew over the next decade, and severed ties with the men&#39;s organization in 1902. In 1906, the organization hired architect George H.

<p>The James McColl House is a private house located at 205 S. Main Street in Yale, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>James Livingston owned a thriving flax industry, centered in Baden, Ontario, in the latter half of the 19th century. By the early 1880s, Livingstons flax empire had spread to Michigans thumb area, where he partnered with James McColl. The two owned multiple plants in the area, and eventually spread out into banking.</p><br>
<p>In 1889, McColl married James Livingston&#39;s daughter, Louise. The McColls were involved in many affairs of the village, and James McColl served as president of the Village of Yale from 1894 to 1901. In 1899, James Livingston hired architect Isaac Erb to design this home for the McColls. The couple had three children, two of whom died young. The third, Elizabeth McColl Wight, went on to marry surgeon, Dr. F.B. Wight of Detroit. James and Louise McColl lived in this house until their deaths, after which ownership passed to their daughter Elizabeth. She owned the house until 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The James McColl House is a 2-12/ story wood frame Queen Anne style house covered with clapboards. The main facade contains a number of double-hung windows and a large front porch supported by slender columns and featuring an upper balcony with railing. The porch shelters massive oak double-entry doors, recessed into the house. The porch extends across the width of the facade and wraps around to one side. An octagonal projecting corner tower contains large double-hung windows with transoms, and is capped with a bell-shaped roof.</p><br>
<p>One side of the house has a large four-sided bay, located in the center of the facade and extending from to the roofline. The other side has a similar by, but round rather than four-sided.

<p>Pedra da Galé is an uninhabited tiny islet in the Gulf of Guinea and is one of the smaller islands of São Tomé and Príncipe.</p><br>
<p>The islet is located 3,7 km NNW of the island of Príncipe at the area of Bom Bom and the islet is the northernmost portion of São Tomé and Príncipe.</p><br>
<p>The islet measures 180 meters from SSE to NNW and its width ranges from 28 meters in the south to 48 meters to the north. The entire terrain is completely barren. The islet was formed out of a probably separate volcanic vent. During the Ice Age, it was slightly larger.</p><br>
<p>The islet is not inhabited by humans. Fauna dominate the island, only birds are the island&#39;s fauna, other fauna are in the sea surrounding the islet including fishes and crustaceans.</p><br>
<p>Since 2012, the islet forms a part of the Island of Príncipe Biosphere Reserve which includes Ilhéu dos Mosteiros, Bom Bom and most of the shallow waters to the north down to about 100 meters below sea level.</p><br>
<p>Maughanasilly Stone Row is a stone row and National Monument located in County Cork, Ireland.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The stone row is located to the northeast of Lough Atooreen, on the eastern slopes of Knockbreteen, 2.3 km north of Kealkill. Another stone circle is at Illane, 1.1 km NNE of Maughanasilly.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Maughanasilly Stone Row was erected during the Bronze Age, c. 1600–1500 BC, making it contemporary with the Indo-Aryan migrations and the rise of Shang China, the New Kingdom of Egypt and Mycenaean Greece. It was used for archaeoastronomical purposes, for making observations of lunar standstills and equinoxes.</p><br>
<p>It was excavated in 1977 by Ann Lynch. Shallow pits were found with quartz pebbles scattered around. Two flint scrapers were also found.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>There are five standing stones and one prostrate stone, aligned approximate NE-SW. The tallest stone is 1.35 m high and weighs about 8 tonnes.</p><br>
<p>Puerco Ruin and Petroglyphs are the ruins of a large Indian pueblo, which reached its peak around 1300 A.D., containing over 100 rooms. It is the largest known archeological site within the Petrified Forest National Park.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The site had two periods of occupation, each lasting about one century: from 1100-1200 and 1300-1400. The Ancestral Puebloans (also known as the Anasazi), used the flood plain of the Puerco River to cultivate corn, beans, and squash. They also made baskets and colored pottery. The river was also a trade route, opening the pueblo to both trade and ideas from other areas. The site dates to the late Pueblo III to middle Pueblo IV periods.</p><br>
<p>The site was first excavated by John Muir in 1905 and 1906.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The pueblo was built out of hand-hewn sandstone blocks in a rectangular shape, surrounding an interior plaza. The single story consisted of rooms used as living quarters and storage areas. Kivas, where ceremonies took place, were also present underground. The exterior walls of the pueblo contained no windows or doors, entry was accomplished by ladders over the walls.</p><br>
<h2>Artifacts and petroglyphs</h2><br>
<p>The site contains over 800 petroglyphs, incised on more than 100 boulders. One of the petroglyphs which has been uncovered at the site appears to show the migration path from the Puerco Pueblo to the Crack-in-the-Rock site, today located within the Wupatki National Monument, dating from approximately 1150 A.D.</p><br>
<p>Between 1988 and 1989 a group of archeologists from the Western Archeological and Conservation Center conducted excavations of the site. They also recorded over 1,000 pieces of rock art on the site. 8 non-room subsurface features, 4 surface rooms, and a kiva were excavated. More than 4,000 potsherds, 26,000 flaked stone artifacts, and numerous floral and faunal remains were catalogued. The artifacts uncovered indicate trade with the Hopi, Homol&#39;ovi, Flagstaff, Zuni, and Gallup settlements, although many items were made from local raw materials.</p><br>
<p>A petroglyph which marks the summer equinox has been found at the site. For approximately two weeks around the equinox, there is an interplay between the sun&#39;s rays and shadows across its circular design at sunrise.</p><br>
<p>While the historical record shows that over 90% of the local fauna was represented by small mammals such as rabbits and prairie dogs, and about 1% birds, with zero bear remains, the petroglyphs show different results, with bears being the most predominate, accounting for 21% of the petroglyphs, and birds making up 16%.</p><br>
<p>The Burberg, also called the Buerberg and Bürberg, is a hill, in the Eifel mountains in Germany. It rises near Schutz in the county of Vulkaneifel in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<h3>Location</h3><br>
<p>The Burberg is located within the Volcanic Eifel Nature Park and the Hinterbüsch. At its southeastern foot is the village of Schutz on whose territory the hill is situated. 3.1 km west-southwest of the summit is the village of Weidenbach. The Walmerbach (Wallmerbach) stream flows past the hill to the west before discharging in the lee of the hill into the Kleine Kyll which runs from north to south.</p><br>
<h3>Natural regions</h3><br>
<p>The Burberg is part of the natural region major unit group of East Eifel (no. 27), in major unit Kyllburger Waldeifel (277) and sub-unit Salm Hill Country (Salmer Hügelland) (277.3).</p><br>
<h3>Conservation</h3><br>
<p>On the hill are parts of the protected landscape of Zwischen Ueß und Kyll (CDDA no. 326012; designated in 1982; 396.2312 km²).</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Burberg was formed about 11,000 years ago as a volcano. On the summit region are the remains of a Roman fortification dating to the 4th century AD.</p><br>
<p>Zamna  is a 41 km river in eastern Serbia, the right tributary to the Danube. Its valley is known for the caves, arches and a canyon. Local population also calls it Zemna.</p><br>
<h2>Course and geography</h2><br>
<p>Zamna originates on the eastern slopes of the Deli Jovan mountain, below the Crni Vrh, at an altitude of 1,039 m. It originally flows in an easterly direction. At the village of Plavna, it receives the river Medveđa (also known as Medvedica) from the left. At the mouth, the river formed prerast, or natural arch. Obscured by the thick forest, it is called Rajski prerast ("Paradise Arch") and is 2.5 km away from the center of the village.</p><br>
<p>Local folklore considers it a magical location, a place where fairies converge to seduce passersby with their magical dance. Local population uses the water from below the arch for magical rituals.</p><br>
<p>Apart from the arch, in the Plavna section the river also carved a steep 4 km canyon, a typical for the Tithonian limestone region. There are also two caves in this section: Dudić Cave and Cvetko Cave. In total, there are over 10 caves, including the still unexplored Medved caves. Dudić Cave is 2 km long and rich in speleothems.</p><br>
<p>At the village of Štubik, it turns in the northeast direction and receives the Miljakovačka reka from the right and Turija from the left. Passing west of the village of Malajnica and east of the village of Jabukovac, it receives the Skočka river from the left. In lower section, the river meanders a lot, before it empties into the Danube at Mihajlovac, across the island of Ostrovu Mare.</p><br>
<h2>Wildlife</h2><br>
<p>Lush forests consists of beech, common hornbeam, Turkey oak, ferns and moss. As the area is close to the protected area of Vratna, deers and wild boars can be seen along the Zamna, too, so as the birds of pray.</p><br>
<p>The river is rich in fish, including European chub, trout and common barbel. Crayfish also dwell in Zamna.</p><br>
<p>The valley of Zamna is also abundant in snakes. It is a habitat for grass snake, Aesculapian snake, horned viper and European adder.</p><br>
<h2>Watermills</h2><br>
<p>Zamna was known for its watermills. Over a dozen of them existed on the river. They grinded the corn flower, from which the specific corn bread was baked, called malaj. It gave name to the village of Malajnica next to which the river flows.</p><br>
<p>Ilhéu dos Mosteiros is an uninhabited tiny islet in the Gulf of Guinea ;located 880 meters northeast of the island of Príncipe and is one of the smaller islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and is also the nation&#39;s easternmost point.</p><br>
<p>The island name is the Portuguese word for monastery, the islet likely actually never had a monastery.</p><br>
<p>The islets is the closest landmass of São Tomé and Príncipe to the island of Bioko in Equatorial Guinea located 206.3 km NNE from a point west of San Antonio de Ureca (or Ureca)</p><br>
<p>The islet measures 200 meters from SSE to NNW and its width ranges from 95 meters in to 130 meters with other smaller rocks. Like Pedra da Galé to the west, the entire terrain is completely barren. During the Ice Age, it was part of the island of Príncipe and northeast of it was once the second closest point to the African mainland at around 200 km distant from what was Bioko Peninsula, the closest was at the east of the island which was about 192 km from west of what is now Corisco.</p><br>
<p>The islet is not inhabited by humans. Fauna dominate the island, only birds are the island&#39;s fauna, other fauna are in the sea surrounding the islet including fishes and crustaceans.</p><br>
<p>Since 2012, the islet forms a part of Island of Príncipe Biosphere Reserve.</p><br>
<p>Mount Picossa  is a mountain in Catalonia, Spain. It is located within the Móra dEbre municipal limits, Ribera dEbre.</p><br>
<p>The summit used to be a breeding ground for Bonelli&#39;s eagle, but in the last few years the birds have failed to reproduce. Human disturbance has been deemed to be the cause and the access to the mountain has been restricted.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Mount Picossa is an isolated hill of the Catalan Central Depression.</p><br>
<p>There is a triangulation station at the top marked "251139001". The Serra de Cavalls can be seen in the horizon looking south.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>During the Battle of the Ebro of the Spanish Civil War there was an observation point of the Republican Military on top of the hill which was bombed by the Francoist faction before the collapsing of the front. The 42nd Division camped at the hill on 8 November 1938 during its withdrawal, having lost many of its troops and its pace being hampered by the many wounded. By 10 November the Francoists had occupied Mount Picossa.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. Charles H. Kennedy House is a historic house at 6 Edenwood Lane in North Little Rock, Arkansas. It is a single story steel frame structure, organized as three hexagonal pods joined by linear sections. The pods divide the house&#39;s functional spaces: one is for public living spaces and amenities, including the kitchen, living room, and dining area, one has the master bedroom suite, and one has a guest space and playroom. The exterior is clad in a combination of brick veneer and vertical board siding, and the roof is flat except for the pods, which have pyramidal roofs. The house was built in 1964 to a design by noted Arkansas architect Warren Segraves.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<p>The Safford High School building, which was located where Safford Middle School is currently located, opened to students on September 13, 1915. It was designed by Henry O. Jaastad. It served as the main high school building through the 1979-80 school year. Over the years other buildings were built. This included the WPA-built Baker Stadium, which served as the home of the Safford Bulldogs from 1938 through the 1986 season; a gymnasium in 1943, which allowed the previous gym to be retrofitted into an auditorium; and the other classroom buildings. This included a library built in the 1960s. It is noted that, during this period, the baseball stadium was at the old bleachers by Lafe Nelson School as was the field house for the football and wrestling teams.</p><br>
<p>Once the high school moved to its current campus, the original Safford Junior High School, which had its own building adjacent to the high school, was torn down in 1980. Safford Junior High, then later Middle, School occupied the main building and the gymnasium until the mid-1990s, when concerns for those buildings&#39; safety and revelations of poor construction quality prompted them to be razed and replaced, outweighing concerns of historical value and the cost of a refurbishment. The 1915 building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 9, 1988. It remains listed, apparently erroneously as the building is gone. Ultimately, shoddy construction was also the reason that the 1943 gymnasium was torn down in the 1990s. Baker Stadium is still used as the home field for middle school football.</p><br>
<p>The Sloper-Wesoly House is a historic house at 27 Grove Hill Street in New Britain, Connecticut. Built in 1887, it is a prominent local example of Queen Anne architecture in brick, and a long-standing site of importance to the city&#39;s Polish community. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. It now houses a local Polish cultural center.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Sloper-Wesoly House is located in what is now a mixed commercial area west of downtown New Britain, on the east side Grove Hill Street just south of its overpass of Connecticut Route 72. It is a 2-1/2 story structure, built out of brick with a wood-framed half-story and trim. It is covered by a tall hip roof, from which a number of large gables rise. Prominent features included a round projection at the southwest corner, topped by a conical roof, and a porch extending across the rest of the front facade, with a decorated gable over the main stairs. The interior of the building has seen only modest alterations, primarily to modernize its plumbing and other infrastructure, and features a central hall finished in wood paneling and lincrusta.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1887 for Dr. Andrew Jackson Sloper, a prominent local businessman. It was designed by George Dutton Rand, a regionally prominent architect known for his eclectic revival-style designs. Sloper was a leading figure in promoting the recruitment of European immigrants as a source of labor for the citys growing industries, and sat on the boards of a number of its businesses. Slopers widow sold the house to Dr. Andrew Wesoly and his wife Cecilia Kremsky Wesoly, leaders of the local Polish community. Dr. Wesoly operated his medical practice out of the first floor of the house, and the couple were instrumental in retaining the house&#39;s interior features.</p><br>

<p>Querino Canyon Bridge is located approximately 4 mi southwest of Houck, Arizona, on Old Route 66, over Querino Canyon. It is within the boundaries of the Petrified Forest National Park.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1929 the Arizona Highway Department (AHD) began to renovate what was then USA Route 66. The project consisted of approximately 22.5 mi of grading and road surfacing, as well as the construction of several bridges. The Querino Canyon Bridge was the largest of these. In November, the contract for the bridge and roadways was awarded to F.D. Shufflebarger, a contractor from Phoenix, for a sum of $184,604. While they began work prior to year&#39;s end on the roadways, they did not begin work on the bridge until 1930, completing it by December of that year, which was behind schedule.</p><br>
<p>In the 1960s, this section of Route 66 was re-routed due to the construction of Interstate 40 (I-40), leaving this particular highway to a county road.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The length of the bridge&#39;s three spans is 77 ft, with a total length of 269 ft when the approaches are included. The bridge is 20 ft wide. The substructure consists of concrete abutments and pedestals, along with steel piers. Sitting on the steel piers are three Pratt deck trusses, supporting a concrete deck.</p><br>
<p>The Hotel President, also known as the Park Towers Apartments, is an historic building located in downtown Waterloo, Iowa, United States. The building was completed in 1929, and it opened as a "showcase hotel." In 1948, Paul "Pinkie" George and five other wrestling promoters from the Midwest founded the National Wrestling Alliance in the hotel. The manager of the hotel at the time was Lark Gable, the grandfather of Olympic gold medal winner Dan Gable. Various companies owned and operated the hotel until it was acquired in 1968 by Elders Inc., a nonprofit group of churches. They converted the building into subsidized housing. It was bought by local developers Brent Dahlstrom and Jim Sulentic in 2011 and they sold it to Huntley Witmer Development of Los Angeles. Huntley Witmer spent $12 million in 2015 renovating the building that continues to house 84 units of federally subsidized housing. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>

It includes Colonial Revival, Bungalow/craftsman, Queen Anne Revival, Eastlake, and other architectural styles. It includes historic buildings dating from c.1880 to 1939.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed "locally significant in the areas of industry and architecture. It is all that is left to represent the lumber boom prosperity of Lake Charles in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. It is architecturally significant as an outstanding collection of historic buildings within the context of southwestern Louisiana. It shares this distinction with two other towns, Crowley and Jennings, and in some respects is superior to both."</p><br>
<p>The Roscoe Conklin Linder House in Hartwell, Georgia is a Craftsman bungalow which was built in 1917. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-and-a-half-story brick veneer house, built to a design by Leila Ross Wilburn.</p><br>
<p>Roscoe Conklin Linder served as mayor of Hartwell in two terms.</p><br>
<p>The NRHP nomination explains its significance as:The Linder House is architecturally significant as a good intact example of a Bungalow with Craftsman design features. Its low massing, broad gable roof, wide front and side porch with squat columns, fenestration patterns, and exposed rafter and roof brackers are all characteristics of the Craftsman style as it was interpreted locally in Hartwell. Its architectural significance is enhanced from associations with the builder, John William Temple, and the architect, Leila Ross Wilburn, who provided a pattern book design. John William Temple belonged to the Temple family of builders, designers, and contractors who built or remodeled many homes and buildings in Hartwell during the early 20th century. Leila Ross Wilburn was Georgia&#39;s first woman architect who specialized in pattern book designs for homes.</p><br>

<p>The Howard Block, also known as the Central Block, is a commercial building located at 201-205 Huron Avenue in Port Huron, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Businessmen Henry Howard was born in 1833, and arrived in Port Huron with his family in 1834. As an adult, Howard was an entrepreneur who owned portions of a number of local sawmills and was a founder of the First National Bank. In 1863, Howard partnered with lumber broker and banker John Johnston to construct a commercial building at the corner of Military and Water Streets which housed Johnson&#39;s bank. In 1875, the pair again partnered to construct this building, the Howard Block.</p><br>
<p>One of the first tenants of the Howard Block was the First National Bank, of which Howard had assumed the presidency of in 1871. The bank remained in the building after Howards death in 1894, and moved in 1904. The banking section of the building was then occupied by the St. Clair County Savings Bank and, later by the German American Bank. The banking section was then renovated for other commercial uses, including a drug store, jewelry shop, and a mens clothing store. Significant tenants of the building include Springer & Rose, a men&#39;s clothing store founded by J. Springer by 1871, which occupied a portion of the building from the 1910s to the 1960s; and Marx Jewelers, which occupied the former bank space starting in the mid-1930s.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Howard Block is a three-story red brick High Victorian Italianate commercial block, with a two-story rear section added in approximately 1880. The building is set on the corner of Huron Avenue and Quay Street, and the footprint matches the sixty-five-degree angle between Huron Avenue and Quay Street. Three storefronts run across the Huron Avenue facade. At the corner, a narrow, one-window-bay wide section which originally held an entryway, faces diagonally toward the intersection. The second and third stories hold round-head window openings with sculptural iron caps. A wooden bracketed main cornice, restored in the 1990s, runs across the top.</p><br>
<p>The St. Clair Inn is a hotel located at 500 North Riverside Avenue in St. Clair, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>During the early twentieth century, overnight steamers were common along the St. Clair River. Although by the early 1920s there were four hotels in Port Huron, a group of area businessmen determines that the city lacked enough modern hotel accommodations catering to the river trade. In 1925, they formed the St. Clair Community Hotel Corporation, and proposed building a sixty-room hotel at a cost of approximately $180,000. THe corporation went publis in mid-1925, and when sufficient funds were raised, they hired local architect Walter H. Wyeth to design the building. COnstruction was completed in September 1926.</p><br>
<p>However, the Great Depression was not kind to the Inn, and it went into receivership in 1932. The hotel passed through multiple owners until 1943, when the St. Clair Hotel Corporation regained control of the building. The corporation hired Creighton W. Holden, owner of a local restaurant chain, to manage the hotel. Holden demanded and received majority ownership in the corporation, and by 1948 he and his sons purchased the entire corporation, turning the St. Clair Inn into a private holding. The Holdens retained ownership until 1975. In 1978, a substantial addition was constructed to the inn, and it was later purchased by Thomas Edison Inns Inc.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The st. Clair Inn is a two-story, gable-roof, Tudor Revival structure with English brick and half-timbered plaster exterior walls. It is located on the St. Clair River. The building has a U-shaped form, with the arms of the U flanking a shallow courtyard on the street side of the building. The courtyard contains a gabled main entrance, to the left of which is a small whimsical round tower. The roof is shingled, and contains three eyebrow windows on the river side. A 1978 addition is attached to the north side of the hotel, but the original building&#39;s exterior is substantially intact.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the original 1926 inn is also substantially intact. It contains a central lobby with a brick floor and a plastered ceiling displaying rough-hewn timbers. From the lobby, a grayed oak staircase leads to the second floor. The nearby lounge contains two fireplaces: one of English brick</p><br>
<p>with an oak mantel and the other of limestone, containing medieval-themed insets between the fireplace opening and the mantel. The main dining room is nearby; what was originally a porch has been enclosed. The 1926 inn contains sixty guest rooms. The basement contains the physical plant, linen rooms, laundry, and bakery.</p><br>
<p>The LeRoy Smith House is a private house, designed by Alden B. Dow, and located at 9503 Frank Street in Algonac, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>LeRoy Smith was a salesman for the Hobart Company, which manufactured paint sprayers, battery chargers, and and welding equipment. After working for Hobart for a time, Smith founded his own company to distribute Hobart equipment. Smith and his family lived in Highland Park, Michigan, but owned this plot of land along the St. Clair River near Algonac for summer trips. In the late 1930s, the Smiths decided to build a summer house on the property to take advantage of the river view. Their daughter Maxine&#39;s parents-in-law had commissioned a house from Alden B. Dow in 1938, and although they had ultimately decided not to build, they highly recommended Dow to the Smiths. The Smiths contacted Dow in 1940, and construction began on this house in December of that year. However, the contractor had difficulties, and the house was not finished until early 1942.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The LeRoy Smith House is a two-story, flat-roofed house constructed of 12" x 12" cinder "unit blocks" designed and patented by Dow. A long, low three-car garage extends at a right angle from the corner of the house. The street side of the house has a plain, flat facade with a few small windows; the river side, in contrast, contains a large expanse of windows opening onto the water, underneath wide, projecting eaves.</p><br>
<p>On the interior, the first floor has low ceilings and expansive windows overlooking the river. The first floor contains a playroom, dining room, kitchen, and a bedroom and bathroom. An open central stairway leads up to the living room, which has a higher ceiling than on the first floor. This floor also contains two bedrooms and another bathroom. Built-in shelving and storage units are located throughout the house.</p><br>
<p>The South End Historic District encompasses one of the oldest residential areas of Bristol, Connecticut. Extending south from South Street along George and Hull Streets, this areas growth as a residential areas mirrors the citys growth as an industrial center from the second quarter of the 19th century, and includes a well-preserved diversity of residential architecture to the mid-20th century. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Bristols 19th-century industrial growth was begun with the introduction of clock-making as a business in 1821, with the arrival of Chauncey Jerome. Jeromes factory, located on the Pequabuck River, grew rapidly, and was the nations largest maker of clocks by 1850. Jerome built a fine Greek Revival house in 1832 at the corner of Main and South Streets that is still a prominent landmark, and one of the oldest buildings in this historic district; it now houses the local Elks lodge. Other manufacturers and businessmen also built their homes on South Street, and more middle-class housing began to be developed behind that row of houses on George and Hull Streets. By the end of the 19th century, the citys elites had largely moved to the north side of downtown (the Federal Hill area), and this neighborhood was largely built out with more dense middle and lower-class housing in the first decades of the 20th century. Only a few buildings post-date World War II.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is bounded on the north by the south side of South Street, roughly between George and Willis Streets. It extends south along George and Hull Streets to Murray Road, extending eastward along Sigourney Street and including spur and cross streets. In an area of 40 acre there are more than 100 historically significant buildings, most of wood frame construction. Stylistically they are diverse, reflecting the evolution of the area over more than 100 years of development. Houses on South and Hull Streets generally date to the 19th century, while those on Hull and other streets were typically built in the 1910s and 1920s. A number of the older originally single-family houses have been converted to multiple apartments, and there are a number of two and three-family buildings.</p><br>
<p>The Guadarrama Pass , also known as Alto del León, is a mountain pass in Spain. It is located in the Sierra de Guadarrama, part of the Sistema Central system of ranges.</p><br>
<p>Historically it has been an important communication line between Madrid and the North of Spain.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>This pass is part of San Rafael municipal term, Segovia Province, on its northern side and Guadarrama, Madrid Province, on its southern side. It is located in the southern slopes of the 1,556 m high Cerro de la Sevillana, between the 1,824 m</p><br>
<p>high Cabeza Líjar and 1,945 m high La Peñota peaks.</p><br>
<p>The Guadarrama Pass is an important communication line between Segovia Province and the Madrid area through the N-VI highway between Madrid and Corunna.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>There are remains of Spanish Civil War bunkers and trenches in the area of the pass. The rebel faction took the northern side of the range after the Battle of Guadarrama and the Second Division of the Spanish Republican Army operated in the area between December 1936 and March 1939.</p><br>
<p>The Glenn and Nell Kurtz Lustron Home and Garage, also known as the Westchester 02 Deluxe model and #01237, is a historic building located in Iowa Falls, Iowa, United States. Glenn Kurtz owned and operated the Cigar and News Store downtown, and became the Lustron dealer for Hardin, Hamilton, Franklin, and Grundy counties. He and his wife Nell bought this property in the Washington Heights Addition in 1944, and they had their own prefabricated Lustron house and detached garage assembled on it five years later. The single-story, two bedroom house features its original light yellow porcelain steel wall panels, brown steel shingled roof, off-white gables and trim, metal entrance doors, and windows. The matching 1½-car garage sits behind the house, and is approached by a driveway off of Michigan Avenue. The house and garage were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. There are four other Lustron houses in addition to this one that are associated with Kurtz&#39;s representation of the company in his four county area.</p><br>
<p>Lake Nixon is a private recreation area on Cooper Orbit Road on the southwestern outskirts of Little Rock, Arkansas. The lake is 34 acre in size, with a narrow shape oriented roughly northwest to southeast. The south side of the lake is in a natural state, while the central portion of the north shore has been developed as a summer day camp. The site of the camp was the subject of a ground-breaking civil rights case, Daniel v. Paul, decided by the United States Supreme Court in 1969. The camp was in 1966 a private enterprise offering membership for a low fee  to whites, but refused to grant memberships to African-Americans. Two African American girls sought admission to the grounds during a heat wave in 1966, and filed suit after they were refused. The Supreme Court ruled that the club constituted a public accommodation under civil rights legislation. This case was key in combatting the use of private clubs as a means for racial discrimination.</p><br>
<p>The lake and surrounding amenities were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<p>The New Providence Building Association Stores is a historic building located in New Providence, Iowa, United States. Numerous businesses in the town that were located in wooden structures in the central business district were destroyed by a fire on December 30, 1910. As a result the citiens of the town banded together and formed the New Providence Building Association. It was established to buy land and construct buildings in which businesses would lease space. Such a community based effort was necessary because New Providence, which had been by-passed by the Chicago and North Western Railroad, needed economic stability to stay viable. This single-story, three storefront, brick building was built by the association. Its brickwork and large display windows are characteristic of commercial buildings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The building was listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<p>The Germantown Township Bridge S-29 is a historic stone arch bridge over an unnamed stream on 278th Street in rural Turner County, South Dakota, southwest of Chancellor. Built in 1942, it is one of a modest number of bridges surviving in the county that was built with New Deal funding. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Germantown Township Bridge is located in rural southeastern Turner County, about 1.5 mi southwest of Chancellor. It carries 278th Street, a rural paved road, across an unnamed stream between 459th and 460th Avenues. It is a two-arch stone structure, its arches 7 ft in length and 3 ft in height. A headwall rises above the arches on each side, about 10 in above road grade, and extends into angled wing walls. A stone nose projects away from the arches on one side of the structure. It is built out of heavily mortared local quartzite and granite fieldstone.</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 1942 by a county crew to a standardized state design.</p><br>
<p>The Manning Water Tower is a historic structure located in Manning, Iowa, United States. It is significant as a good example of early 20th-century steel elevated water tower design, and its association with Anson Marston and the Chicago Bridge & Iron Company. Marston, who designed the structure, was a professor of engineering at Iowa State College. Manning native Henry J. Brunnier, who studied under Marston, convinced the city council to use one of Marstons designs rather than a less expensive standpipe. He also assisted with this water towers design, and went on to career as a civil engineer in San Francisco. Also involved in the towers design was the Chicago Bridge & Iron Company, who built it in 1903. It replaced a pump house with a steam-powered engine and a large water tank that was built near the towns well in 1894. The water tower is 140.75 ft tall. It has a 60,000 gal steel tank, with a cast-iron center pipe, and four steel legs. The superstructure rests on concrete piers with limestone capstones, and the tank it is caped with a pagoda-shaped roof. The water tower was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<p>Boelson Cottage is a Dutch and Swedish-style colonial era cottage located in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia. The one-and-a-half story gambrel-roofed fieldstone cottage was built sometime between 1678–84. The cottage is situated on the west bank of the Schuylkill River within a plot of 100 acre of land granted to John Boelson in 1677 by the Swedish colonial court in Upland, Pennsylvania. Boelson&#39;s cottage is the oldest extant structure in Fairmount Park.</p><br>
<p>The name of the cottage varied over the years, including Pigs Eye, Tom Moores, Aunt Cornelia&#39;s, and Belmont Cottage—the latter due to its proximity to Belmont Mansion and its possible use as housing for servants of that mansion. The name is also sometimes spelled, or misspelled, Boelsen.</p><br>
<p>A wooden shed was attached to the south wall of the cottage around 1950. A group called the Friends of the Philadelphia Parks renovated the cottage in 1989–90 and then used it as their office. The original floor, windows, and doors were replaced, as was most of the original woodwork and ironwork.</p><br>
<p>The cottage is registered on both the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Otis Angell Gristmill is a historic mill in Governor John Notte Memorial Park, North Providence, Rhode Island. Built about 1855, it is a well-preserved example of a small 19th-century industrial site, with a stone mill building and a small mill pond. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2017. The mill building now serves as a local community center.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Otis Angell Gristmill stands in north-central North Providence, on the south side of Governor John Notte Memorial Park, one of the towns few public parks. It is a 1-1/2 story masonry structure, built out of uncoursed fieldstone with rough-cut granite corner quoining. It is covered by a gabled roof with a wooden cornice. It has two chimneys, one of brick piercing the roof, and one exterior stone chimney. The main facade faces northeast, and is three bays wide, with a center entrance set in a brick-framed opening with an segmental arch at the top. The flanking window bays have been infilled with stone. There is a service entrance in the gable, historically used for loading materials into the attic level; it is now accessible by an outside staircase.Just to the north of the mill, across the Governor Notte Parkway, is the mill pond. The parkway crosses along the approximate route of what was formerly the mills main spillway, and is now a culvert over the West River.</p><br>
<p>The site was undeveloped industrially when it was purchased by Otis Angell in 1853. Within the next two years, Angell had dammed the West River (creating the mill pond), and built a house and this mill building. Angell sold the property to Sarah and Thomas Pray in 1866; Sarah was a cousin, and Thomas was a textile manufacturer from Killingly, Connecticut. During his period of ownership, Angell perfected a new type of turbine, for which he was awareded a patent in 1869. The Prays leased the property to James Hilton, who operated a bleachery on the premises from 1868 to 1872. In that year Pray sold the property his daughter Sarah and her husband Henry Randall Hill. Hill was primarily a farmer, also active in local civic affairs, but the mill continued to see some industrial use.</p><br>
<p>The mill area was purchased about 1936 by the Geneva Sportsmens&#39; Club, which used the building as a clubhouse until 2012. It was then acquired by the town, as part of a bid to preserve one of its few remaining open spaces. It is now used as a community and event center.</p><br>
<p>The Woonsocket Senior High and Junior High Schools is an historic school complex at 357 Park Place in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. Built in 1914 and enlarged several times, it served as the city&#39;s high school until 1967, and as the Woonsocket Middle School until its closure in 2009. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Woonsocket Senior High and Junior High Schools building is located in the city&#39;s Villa Nova neighborhood, south of the downtown, which is across the Blackstone River. It is a large E-shaped structure, present a long facade to the southeast, with wings extending to the northwest. The oldest portion of the building, its northeastern wing, was built in 1914 in the Classical Revival style, which was then continued in most of the subsequent additions and alterations to the building. An additional block of classrooms was added at the southern end of this wing in 1925, and the junior high school, an L-shaped structure, was added in 1927. At the center of the U shape created by these constructions is the 1952 Senior High School Gymnasium Annex. The most prominent entrance is that of the junior high school, facing southeast. It differs from the other construction in being mainly limestone, with four mammoth Doric pilasters supporting a wide lintel. The bays between the pilasters each house an entrance, above which are decorative panels incised (from left to right) with "Faith", "Hope", and "Charity".</p><br>
<p>Woonsocket was incorporated as a town in 1867 and as a city in 1888. Its first high school, built in 1877, was located on Boyden Street in a building that also housed elementary grades. In 1902, the high school took over the entire building, but it was judged inadequate for the purpose by the school committee. It was not until 1913 that land for this school was purchased, with the first building completed in 1915. It was designed by Walter Fontaine, a local architect, who also designed the 1925 addition and the junior high school. The 1952 gymnasium annex was designed by Fontaine&#39;s son Oliver. By the 1960s it was overcrowded, and the present Woonsocket High School was opened in 1972. This building remained in use, housing lower grades, until 2009.</p><br>
<p>The Henry Magill House is a historic house at 390 Palisado Avenue in Windsor, Connecticut. Built in 1861, it is a well-preserved and locally rare example of Second Empire architecture executed in brick. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>

The building has a brownstone water table separating the brick basement from main floor, and its roof also has a bracketed cornice. The south-facing facade has two polygonal bay windows, each topped by a bracketed cornice and hip roof.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1861 for Henry Magill, a farmer. It is fairly elaborate example of the Second Empire, which is a style not seen frequently in the town, and has retained many of its original features.</p><br>
<p>The Elijah Mills House is a historic house at 45 Deerfield Road in Windsor, Connecticut. Built in 1822, it is a well-preserved local example of a Federal period brick house. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Elijah Mills House is located in southern Windsor, on the west side of Deerfield Road just north of Interstate 291. It is a 2-1/2 story brick building, with a side gable roof and two interior brick chimneys. The main facade is five bays wide and symmetrically arranged, with a center entrance. Windows are set in rectangular openings, with stone sills and headers of soldier bricks in a splayed layout. The entrance is framed by narrow boards and topped by a semi-elliptical transom window. A single-story wood frame porch extends along the south side, covered by a low-pitch shed roof. The southern gable end has a bricked-over semi-elliptical opening. A wood-frame ell extends to the rear of the main block, joining it to an old barn. The interior follows a central hall plan, with an archway separating the entry area from the two-run staircase. There are two rooms on either side of the hall, each of the front parlors featuring a decorative fireplace mantel. There are relatively few 20th-century alterations.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1822 by Elijah Mills, whose family operated one of the Windsor brickyards. The house is notable for its use of brick in places mnay period houses do not normally have it, including for the walls and floors of the cellar area. Similar uses are seen the Oliver W. Mills House, just up the road. The rear ell and barn both exhibit alterations supporting use of their attic spaces as housing for farm workers.</p><br>
<p>The Hartwell Commercial Historic District is a 14 acre historic district in Hartwell, Georgia which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. It is 14 acre in size and is roughly bounded by Franklin St., Forest Ave., Railroad St., and Jackson and Carolina Sts. It included 48 contributing buildings and one contributing structure.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed architecturally significant for its "collection of historic commercial buildings which define the historic character of Hartwell&#39;s town center. The buildings document the types, styles, building materials, and construction techniques prevalent in the commercial areas of small northeast Georgia towns in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Types represented include stores (many with second-floor office space), banks, warehouses, and a depot. Their close concentration along the streets with consistent setbacks and party walls is typical of small Georgia towns of the period. The majority are simple late-Victorian-style buildings with detailing consisting of brick corbeling, round- and segmental-arched window openings, and parapet roofs."</p><br>
<p>Vinegar Hollow is a wooded valley in Kilbuck Township that abuts Ben Avon, Ben Avon Heights, and Emsworth districts, within Allegheny County, PA.</p><br>
<p>The valleys name is of uncertain origin, but local historian, Darlene Phillips of Ohio Township, has reported several hearsay origins. One story is of a moonshine producer during the time of the regions prohibition days, John Jacob Signor. Mr. Signor was known to local residents of Emsworth as "Vinegar Jake." "Vinegar Jake" purportedly made moonshine in the hollow, which he and others referred to as his "vinegar." Another attribution holds that, somewhere in the area of Lowries Run or Plummer Avenue, there was a small operation that created an industrial grade vinegar. This purported business would have been operated in early 1900s, at a time that Pittsburgh buildings were routinely coated in soot from coal processing.</p><br>
<p>The valley was once home to Hodgdon Lodge, a rustic cabin built out of telephone poles, sometime in the early 1900s by Ben Avon Boy Scout Troop No. 172. The cabin was reported to be out of use by at least 1947.</p><br>

The interior layout has three rooms in the main block along with the entry hall, and the kitchen in the ell. The stair and front parlor feature the most elaborate interior woodwork, which is otherwise relatively modest. In some rooms, the original wide floor boards have been overlaid with modern flooring.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1824 by Oliver W. Mills, whose family operated one of the Windsor brickyards. The house is notable for its use of brick in places mnay period houses do not normally have it, including for the walls and floors of the cellar area. Similar uses are seen the Elijah Mills House, just down the road. In addition to being a brickmaker, Mills was a successful farmer.</p><br>
<p>The Timothy Dwight Mills House is a historic house at at 184 Deerfield Road in Windsor, Connecticut. Built about 1833, it is a well-preserved local example of transitional Federal/Greek Revival architecture executed in brick. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Timothy Dwight Mills House is located on southern Windsor, on the east side of Deerfield Road, at one time the major north-south route on the west side of the Connecticut River. The house is 2-1/2 stories in height, built out of locally made red brick, with a front-facing gabled roof. The front facade is three bays wide, with the main entrance in the right bay, framed by sidelight windows and a transom. Windows are set in rectangular openings, with stone sills and lintels. The front gable is fully pedimented. A single-story porch extends across the front and around part of the right side, with Tuscan columns supporting a modest entablature. There is a two-story brick ell extending to the rear.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1833 by Timothy Dwight Mills, a farmer whose family owned a local brickyard. (The houses of Mills&#39; brothers, the Elijah Mills House and the Oliver W. Mills House, also still stand on Deerfield Street.) The only major alteration to the building exterior is the addition of the porch, which was probably done in the 1920s.</p><br>
<p>Tangxun Lake , formerly Tang-Sun Lake, is a freshwater lake between Hongshan District and Jiangxia District in southeastern Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. It is south of Wuhan&#39;s Third Ring Road and north of its Fourth Ring Road. Tangxun Lake is the largest lake completely enclosed by a city in Asia.</p><br>
<p>Before a 1997 decision by the Jiangxia District government, Tangxun Lake was called Tang-Sun Lake. According to tradition, two families surnamed Tang and Sun lived in two of the bays of the lake, hence the name Tang-Sun Lake.</p><br>
<p>As of May 2014, due to the expansion of Wuhan, Tangxun Lake was recognized as the largest lake in Wuhan in the official Wuhan Lake Records (武汉湖泊志). Tangxun Lake surpassed East Lake and claimed the title of the Largest Lake entirely within a City in China and Asia.</p><br>
<p>Tangxun Lake is the site of recreation and residential areas, including man-made peninsulas extending into the lake. The Tangxun Lake Recreational Area is divided into three recreational areas: Rural Park (including a fishing center); Water Sports Recreation Area (combination of tourism and competitive sports; yacht racing area, rowing center and swimming pool); and Summer Recreational Area, (business center, office buildings, news center, a layer of shopping center, swimming pool, professional training and the gym, etc). The scenic spots are both connected and relatively independent. The Tangxun Lake Resort Area was developed by the Hubei Huatai Land Industry Co., Ltd.</p><br>
<p>Tangxun Lake Railway Station and Miaoshan Railway Station, located on the northern and southern shores of Tangxun Lake are stops on the Wuhan–Xianning intercity railway.</p><br>
<p>The Science and Techology Park of Huazhong University of Science and Technology is located on the north shore of Tangxun Lake. Wuhan Donghu University was established on the western shore of Tangxun Lake in 1980. Wuhan Institute of Design and Sciences was established on the eastern shore of Tangxun Lake in 2015.</p><br>
<p>Cedar Grove Mansion was the summer residence for five generations of Philadelphia families. The house was built as a rural retreat from city life, and was originally located within the present day Frankford neighborhood of Northeast Philadelphia, about 4 mi beyond the colonial-era city limits. In 1746, Elizabeth Coates Paschall purchased the property on which the house was subsequently built. Paschall was a widow with three children who had inherited her husbands dry goods business and desired a rural retreat from the city near her fathers farm in Frankford. Construction of the grey stone house on a plot of 15 acre along Frankford Road began in 1748 and continued to 1750.</p><br>
<p>Additions were made by Paschall and succeeding generations. A granddaughter named Sarah inherited the house, married Isaac Wistar Morris in 1795, and doubled the size of Cedar Grove with more rooms and a third floor. A wraparound porch was added later. Various architectural styles such as Baroque, Rococo, and Federal are evident in the interior rooms.</p><br>
<p>Lydia Thompson Morris, the last of the family to own Cedar Grove, gave the house and original furniture to the city of Philadelphia in 1926. The house was then moved from the Frankford neighborhood to Fairmount Park in 1926–28. The Philadelphia Museum of Art administers the house and has kept it fully furnished with period furniture passed down by generations of the Morris family. Guided tours of the house are available through the Art Museum.</p><br>
<p>Cedar Grove is registered on both the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Military Road Historic District is a commercial historic district located along Military Street and Huron Avenue, from Court Street to Bard Street, in Port Huron, Michigan. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The area around modern Port Huron was sparsely settled until 1814, when Fort Gratiot was constructed. Nearby land was platted and sold. In 1821, an inn was opened along what is now Quay Street, and in 1825, James Cook opened a store on the north bank of the Black River. A second store joined it in 1827, and by 1830 a small settlement was in place in and around the current district. Real development started in 1833, when the Black River Steam Saw Mill Company opened, and the Fort Gratiot Military Road was completed, connecting Fort Gratiot to Detroit. Along with the Military Road completion, the first bridge across the Black River was constructed.</p><br>
<p>The 1830s saw a quick jump in land prices around Port Huron, as well as a substantial influx of new residents. By 1840, Port Huron had over 1000 citizens. It was organized into a village in 1849, and into a city in 1857, and by 1864, over 4000 people lived in Port Huron, with the increase in economic development led primarily by the lumber trade. During this span, the first of the commercial buildings were constructed in the district. These buildings were typically simply constructed, wood frame buildings of one or two stories, many of which were replaced with more permanent brick structures as finances permitted. However, one of these early frame structures, dating from the 1840s or 1850s, still survives at 405 Quay Street.</p><br>
<p>By 1870, the lumber business went into a decline, but the rise of manufacturing and tourism in Port Huron led to a stable and diversified economy. Now was the time that merchants built more substantial brick buildings, many with architectural significance. Among the first of these was the 1864 Dowling Block, located at 106-108 Huron, which is the oldest known brick building in the city. By 1900, the population had risen to over 19,000 people, and a number of substantial buildings had been constructed throughout the downtown area.</p><br>
<p>In the twentieth century, the rise of the automobile changed both tourism and the commercial landscape. Some significant buildings were constructed in the Port Huron downtown, for example as a result of the St. Clair Hotel fire of 1903. In addition, several former stables were repurposed. Port Huron&#39;s commercial sector thrived at first, but after World War II, much of the new development began taking place outside of the downtown area. A particular exception was the 1959/60 McMorran Memorial Auditorium, designed by Alden Dow. Urban renewal in the 1970s caused a substantial section of the downtown to be razed and replaced with modern structures. Although this resulted in the loss of a sizable number of historic buildings, the renewal also made the waterfront more accessible, boosting tourism, and eliminated some of the excess building stock, making the remainder of the downtown more viable.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Military Road Historic District consists of the bulk of the central business district of Port Huron, located along the historic military road that lead to Fort Gratiot. The district is centered on the Black River, and contains 74 buildings that contribute to the historic nature of the area, as well as 24 non-contributing buildings. The structures in the district are primarily commercial building, fronting on what is now Military Street (north of the river) and Huron Avenue (south of the river). A few surviving warehouse buildings, as well as a few social/religious buildings, are also included in the district.</p><br>
<p>Significant buildings in the district include:</p><br>
<p>Dowling Block (106-108 Huron Avenue). The flatiron-shaped Dowling Block is the oldest structure in the downtown area, constructed at some point just before 1864. Although the storefront level has been heavily altered, the upper levels are very much intact, and feature equally spaced segmentally-arched window openings topped with brick hoods.</p><br>
<p>Howard Block (201-205 Huron Avenue): The 1874 Howard Block, designed by Detroit architect Julius Hess, is separately listed on the National Register. It is located at the corner of Huron and Quay.</p><br>
<p>Supreme Tent of the Knights of the Maccabees (525-27 Huron Avenue): The first Maccabees building constructed on this site was a two-story structure completed in 1893. The group soon outgrew it, and plans were drawn up to construct a larger building, incorporating the original 1893 structure. The current four-story structure was completed in 1900, and has a Moorish-themed exterior decoration.</p><br>
<p>Henry McMorran Memorial Auditorium (701 McMorran Boulevard): The Henry McMorran Memorial Auditorium, located at the former site of the former city hall/county courthouse complex, was built in 1958-59 and designed by architect Alden Dow. It was donated to the city by the McMorran Foundation, which was established at the death of Henry McMorran.</p><br>
<p>Harrington Hotel (1026 Military Street): The five-story Harrington Hotel opened in 1896 amid much fanfare. It is separately listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>405 Quay Street: This small false-front building is the only surviving frame structure in the area, and may likely be the oldest building in the district. The building currently serves as a bar on the ground floor with living quarters above.</p><br>
<p>American Legion Post (1026 Sixth Street): This complex started as the elaborate Second Empire John Johnson home, but was drastically revamped, with multiple additions, to serve as the American Legion Post.</p><br>
<p>Carnegie Center (1115 Sixth Street): This building was originally erected during 1903-04 as the Port Huron Public Library, using funds donated by Andrew Carnegie. It is a two-story Beaux-Arts building, and now serves as the Port Huron Museum of Arts and History.</p><br>
<p>Cadson Bury is an Iron Age hillfort about 2 mi south-west of Callington, in Cornwall, England.</p><br>
<p>It is owned by the National Trust, and has been a scheduled monument since 24 October 1950.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The fort is sited in a commanding position on a steep hill, called Cadson Bury Down, above the River Lynher.</p><br>
<p>It is a univallate hillfort, probably of the early Iron Age. The oval enclosure, longest from north to south, is about 275 m long and 170 m wide, enclosing an area of about 2.5 hectare. The rampart is up to 2 m above the interior; the outer ditch is about 1.3 m deep on the east side, less visible elsewhere.</p><br>
<p>There are no traces of house platforms within the enclosure. There are two opposed inturned entrances on the east and west sides; the eastern entrance is clearly defined, the western entrance less so. Another entrance on the south may not be original.</p><br>
<p>The Masters Road–Belle River Bridge is a bridge carrying Masters Road over the Belle River in Riley Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>During the Great Depression, the St. Clair County Road Commission aggressively sought federal funds for road and bridge work, in large part to provide work for local citizens. This bridge was constructed as a result of the Depression-era program. Plans for the bridge were drawn up by the Road Commission, and bids for construction were requested in late 1934. The firm of J.H. Baker & Sons won the contract with a bid of $9391.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The bridge consists of a single 55-foot span, 24 feet wide, made up of five steel stringers covered with a concrete deck. The deck is covered with dirt and gravel. Railings made up of two horizontal pipe rails with vertical steel bars in between run on each side. The railing is supported by concrete railing posts resting on a concrete curb. The posts have faceted corners, stepped tops, and recessed panels, demonstrating a Streamline Moderne influence. The railings and the wing walls below gently curve to meet the river banks. The wing walls are constructed of random-laid stone with concrete coping, and are likely the remnants of an earlier bridge located at this site.</p><br>
