<p>The Signourney Square Historic District encompasses a neighborhood in the Asylum Hill area of Hartford, Connecticut, that was almost entirely built out in an single decade at the end of the 19th century as a middle-class residential area. It is roughly bounded by Garden, Ashley, and Woodland Streets on the east, south, and west, and by railroad tracks north of Sargeant Street to the north. The area retains much of its late 19th-century character, with relatively few modern intrusions. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, with small additions in 1983 and 2011.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>In the mid-19th century, the area surrounding Hartfords Sigourney Square was occupied by the citys "town farm", which provided housing, work, and suppor for its indigent population. This area was hemmed in by road development in the second half of the 19th century, and the farm was reduced in size, and finally shut down in 1896. Only three buildings, modest brick Italianate structures on Ashley Street built about 1850, survive from the town farm period of land use. When the town farm was closed, a portion of it was set aside by the city for use as a public park, which is now known as Sigourney Square Park. Landscaping for the park was developed by J. Alex McClunie, a local landscape architect. Development of pieces of the farm began in 1891, when developer Frederick Mahl built ten Queen Anne houses on Ashley Street. Development was largely complete in the area by 1900.</p><br>
<p>The district covers about 45 acre, and includes 169 primary buildings. The vast majority of them are wood-frame structures two stories in height, housing either one or two units. Exteriors are generally of wood, brick, or some combination of the two, with Queen Anne Victorian features. There are ten larger apartment blocks, typically housing at least six units, as well as a church and two small commercial buildings. The district has been enlarged twice: the first addition in 1983 added houses on the east side of Garden Street that have been subsequently demolished, and the 2011 addition added 207 Garden Street, a mixed commercial-residential brick block.</p><br>
<p>Bass Lake  is a lake in Grand Traverse County, Michigan. It is the largest of three lakes in the county called "Bass Lake" . It is naturally separated into two unequal sections, with a 199 ft strait connecting the two. The northern section is simply known as Bass Lake, but the southern portion is occasionally known as Beitner Lake or Mulberry Lake. The lake is wedged between Long Lake to the west and Silver Lake to the east, both of which are bigger than Bass Lake.</p><br>
<p>The west branch of Beitner Creek flows out of the lake and into the Boardman River.</p><br>
<p>The nearest towns are Grawn and Traverse City.</p><br>
<p>A small settlement called Bass Lake sits on the eastern shore of the lake, at the end of Culver Road.</p><br>
<p>Most of the lake is located within Long Lake Township, but the southern portion of the lake extends into Green Lake Township.</p><br>
<h2>Camp</h2><br>
<p>Until 1955, Girl Scouts who wanted to camp had to go to Camp Greilick near Arbutus Lake, which was owned by the Boy Scouts (who also outed there). In the summer of that year, a girls scout camp opened on the southwestern shore of the lake known as Camp Sakakawea.</p><br>
<h2>Recreation</h2><br>
<p>In the local area, Bass Lake is used for recreation. It is known locally is a common pike, bluegill and bass fishing lake (hence the name). Boaters on the lake, who commonly water ski on the lake, also visit Long and Darien islands, which are the largest islands in the lake. Boaters access the lake on the northwest shore.</p><br>
<p>People who live on the lake commonly own smaller cabin houses. Many small hotels are on the lake.</p><br>

<p>The Sisson-South Whitney Historic District encompasses a neighborhood in the West End area of Hartford, Connecticut, that was built out between 1890 and 1930 as a streetcar suburb. It is roughly bounded by Farmington Avenue, South Whitney Street, West Boulevard, and Sisson Avenue, and includes a diversity of residential and commercial architecture, reflective of its initial development and subsequent growth. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Hartfords West End, roughly from the Park River to the western city line, was primarily farmland until about 1870. By the early 1890s, the citys streetcar network had extended into the area, and the farmland was purchased by developers, platted, subdivided, and developed. Farmington Avenue developed as a commercial service area for the neighborhood, with residential areas to the north and south. South Whitney Street was laid out in 1897, and Sisson Avenue in 1900. Nearly 1/3 of the district&#39;s buildings were erected between 1890 and 1909, and development continued at a similar pace for the next two decades.</p><br>
<p>The historic district extends along Farmington Avenue between South Whitney and Sisson Avenue, with only a few buildings on streets just north of Farmington. It extends along South Whitney, Sisson Avenue, and Evergreen Avenue, all the way to West Boulevard, and along the latter two nearly to Capitol Avenue. Most of its buildings are residential two-story structures, of which the majority are wood frame construction. Stylistically they are diverse, using the architectural vocabulary of revival styles popular at the time. Residences are typically set on small lots with uniform setbacks and scale, giving those areas a unified streetscape.</p><br>

<p>Sanders Bridge is a steel truss bridge straddling the Puerco River, near Sanders, Arizona. It was constructed in 1923, and gained National Historic status in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Arizona Highway Department (AHD) began a major improvement in what was then known as the Holbrook-Lupton Highway, running between the state line with New Mexico to Adamana. The Sanders Bridge was one of two bridges included in the proposed upgrade, the other being the Allentown Bridge. Based upon engineering drawings by AHD, the Monarch Engineering Company, based in Denver, Colorado, was awarded the contract for the Sanders Bridge. Construction began on May 22, 1923, and was completed by September 10, at a cost of $15,005. This section of highway would later become part of US Route 66. However in 1931, after another realignment of the highway system, the Sanders Bridge, along with the one at Allentown, were no longer included on Route 66. Currently, it carries local traffic on the Navajo NationNavajo Indian Reservation. It is currently owned by the USA Bureau of Indian Affairs.</p><br>

The superstructure consists of a riveted steel, 6-panel Pratt pony truss. There are two spans, 75 feet in length and 14 feet 8 inches in width, with a total length of 190 feet, when the on and off ramps are taken into account.</p><br>
<p>The Robert and Elizabeth Muirhead House is a historic house located at 42W814 Rohrson Road northeast of Plato Center, Illinois. Built in 1951-53, the house was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in his Usonian style. Robert and Elizabeth Muirhead, the homes owners, had met Wright in 1948 while touring Taliesin, and the meeting inspired them to commission Wright to design their own home. The one-story house is horizontally oriented to match its flat surroundings, in keeping with Wrights design principles. Rows of casement windows and a wooden parapet along the roof add to the houses horizontal emphasis. The houses interior also includes several typical elements of Wright&#39;s work, including a deemphasized front entrance, floor-to-ceiling windows used to bring in additional light, and a sense of contrast and connection between rooms.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 12, 2016.</p><br>
<p>The Potter and Barker Grain Elevator is a historic grain elevator located at 1N298 La Fox Road in La Fox, Illinois. The elevator was built in 1868 by former whaling ship captain Lemuel Potter and his brother-in-law Henry Barker. Part of a wave of industrial development in the Fox Valley, it served as a transfer point for grain being shipped along the Galena and Chicago Union Railroad. The elevator represents an intermediate point in the transition from one-story rural elevators to taller, mechanized second stage elevators. Its small capacity is typical of the older one-story elevators, but it includes mechanized systems of unloading and raising grain common to later structures.</p><br>
<p>The elevator was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 27, 2016.</p><br>
<p>The Des Moines Fire Department Headquarters-Fire Station No. 1 and Shop Building are historic buildings located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Completed in 1937, the facility provided a unified campus for the fire department&#39;s administration, citywide dispatch, training, maintenance, as well as the increased need for fire protective services in the commercial and warehouse districts in which the complex is located. It was designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Proudfoot, Rawson, Brooks and Borg, and built by local contractor F.B. Dickinson & Co. The project provided jobs for local residents during the Great Depression, and 45% of its funding was provided by the Public Works Administration . The City of Des Moines provided the rest of the funds. The radio tower, which shares the historic designation with the building, was used to dispatch fire personnel from 1958 to 1978. The buildings were used by the local fire department from 1937 to 2013. It was replaced by two different facilities. The old fire station and shop building was acquired by the Des Moines Social Club, a nonprofit arts organization.</p><br>
<p>The buildings were designed in the Streamline Moderne style with Art Deco elements. The two-story brick fire station features stone pilasters that divide the fire apparatus bay openings. A seventh bay was added in 1967 as part of the building&#39;s renovation when a new viaduct blocked the east elevation of the building. The corner of the building at Mulberry and Ninth Streets is rounded, and there is a ribbon of windows on the second floor. The shop building sits behind the station building, facing Ninth Street. It features two garage door bays that are connected to the roofline by large stone panels. A zigzag motif in brick functions as a cornice. A courtyard brick wall connects the station to the shop building. The facility was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Seth Richards Commercial Block, also known as the Lederer-Strauss Building, is an historic building located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States.

The commercial blocks at 300-302 and 304-306 were completed and occupied in 1890, and 308-310 was completed and occupied by 1897. Various wholesale clothing firms occupied the various blocks, but by 1920 Lederer, Strauss & Co., Inc., a millinery fabricator and wholesaler, occupied the entire building. The family run business was sold in 1944 to the Hiersteiners, who incorporated the business as the Landsco Millinery Co. The business was scaled back, and they occupied less of the block, which was filled with other wholesalers by the mid-1950s. In 1957 the Landsco Millinery Co. was liquidated. The building has been converted for other retail uses in the Court Avenue Entertainment District after this area ceased being a wholesale center. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>

<p>Lisbon United Methodist Church is located in Lisbon, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Methodism in Lisbon can be traced to a sermon preached in the spring of 1840 by Dr. Nelson Rathbun, a circuit preacher and physician, from Pioneer Grove (present-day Mechanicsville). The small congregation was served by circuit preachers until 1858 when the Lisbon Circuit was established with a resident preacher in Lisbon. The following year the Methodists assisted the Lutherans in building their new church. The two congregations shared the building until 1868 when the Methodists built their own church at the same location as the present church. A parsonage was built for $1,375.69 in 1887. Planning for the present church began in 1897 and it was completed two years later for $14,000. Carpenter Daniel C. Hartung supervised the construction, which was carried out by locals.</p><br>
<p>The church building was dedicated on April 9, 1899, with about 900 people in attendance. The congregation bought a Steinway piano at that time for $450. It is still in use here. The pipe organ was installed in 1915. The church&#39;s spire was struck by lightning in 1956 and it was destroyed in a fire. Before 1979 the congregation here had shared a minister with another congregation. That year, the Rev. Kalen Fristad became the first minister to serve this congregation alone. In 1989 the front entrance area of the church was enclosed. The parsonage was torn down and an addition was built onto the church in 1995. A parking lot was created across the street from the church in 1996, and a new spire was placed on the tower in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The church building was designed by the prominent Cedar Rapids architectural firm of Josselyn & Taylor. It was designed in a combination of Queen Anne and Shingle Styles. The building reflects the effects of the Social Gospel movement, which was prominent at the time it was built. It advocated for a larger social and educational role for evangelical religious institutions. In order to carry out these roles, church buildings were being built with libraries, large Sunday school classrooms, and social halls that served community gatherings as well as missionary and charitable work. Lisbon United Methodist Church was one of the first Methodist churches in Iowa that was designed according to the Akron Plan. It featured a large classroom that opened onto the main sanctuary, which had the pews in a semi-circular arrangement. Social rooms and kitchen were built on the lower level.</p><br>

<p>Tyndale Baptist Church is a Baptist church in Whiteladies Road, Redland, in Bristol, England.</p><br>
<p>The church was founded in 1869, following an initiative by Broadmead Baptist Church to establish a church to serve the growing population of Redland. Funds to build the new church were raised by a committee chaired by E.S. Robinson, founder of the paper and packaging business E. S. & A. Robinson, and mayor of Bristol in 1866. Glover served the church until 1911.</p><br>
<p>Several members of the church were prominent in Bristol public life. The first Lord Mayor of Bristol in 1899, Sir Herbert Ashman, was baptized by Glover. Edward Robinson, a son of E.S. Robinson, was Lord Mayor in 1908. Charles Townsend, M.P. for Bristol North from 1892 to 1895, was church secretary for more than 20 years.</p><br>
<h2>Stained glass windows</h2><br>
<p>The church was bombed in the Bristol Blitz in 1941. Following the war the church was rebuilt and reopened in 1955. The new church houses some of the best work of the stained glass artist Arnold Robinson, grandson of E.S. Robinson. The finest windows are at each end of the transept, one depicting the Pilgrim&#39;s Progress of John Bunyan, and the other the life of William Tyndale.</p><br>
<p>Iowa Beta Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon is a historic building in Ames, Iowa, United States. It is a large four-story brick structure that was built in 1931 for the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity at Iowa State College . It was designed by Des Moines architect Amos B. Emery. It is the only Tudor Revival style building designed by Emory, and only one of two fraternity houses that he designed. The building features ornamental half-timbering and stucco veneered walls, a steeply pitched roof with two separate cross-gabled sections, and a two-story wing that is oriented diagonally from the main body of the house.

<p>The Iowa Beta chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon was chartered on April 20, 1916. It was the fraternitys fortieth local chapter. During World War II part of the building was rented to female students as many male students left to join the military. A fire damaged the third floor in 1943. In 1952, the kitchen and the house mothers quarters were expanded. Journalist Robert L. Bartley resided here until his graduation from Iowa State in 1959. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The South Green Historic District encompasses a predominantly 19th-century residential area near the South Green of Hartford, Connecticut. This area features a variety of residences in both high and common styles, from the elaborate home of armsmaker Samuel Colt to multi-unit apartment houses, many of which were built between about 1860 and 1900. The district is roughly triangular, extending from South Green along Main Street and Wethersfield Avenue to include Morris, Dean, and Alden Streets. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>What is now the South Green, south of downtown Hartford at Main Street and Maple Avenue, was allocated as common pasture land by the city in 1642. The home of early political leader George Wyllys stood nearby, and that family&#39;s prominence in the area gave Wyllys Street (the southern boundary of the green) its name. In 1850, Solomon Porter led a push to increase development in this area, and in 1854 the city boundary (originally at Wyllys Street) was moved south. Wethersfield Avenue was built with large Italianate homes, mainly in brick, for wealthier buyers, while the side streets were built out with more modest single and multifamily residences. Most of the construction in the early 20th century was apartment blocks; one of these was designed by George Dunkelberger, the designer of the bridges on the Merritt Parkway, and exhibits a similar flair for the whimsical. Non-residential buildings in the district include three churches, a small number of commercial buildings, and a modest number of small light industrial buildings.</p><br>
<p>The district is bordered by three other historic districts: the Colt Industrial District to the east, Charter Oak Place to the north, and Congress Street to the west. Previously listed properties within the district include Armsmear, the National Historic Landmark home of armsmaker Samuel Colt, the Henry Barnard House, home to 19th-century educator Henry Barnard and also a National Historic Landmark, and the Day-Taylor House.</p><br>
<p>The Big Woods School is a historic one-room schoolhouse located at 3033 N. Eola Road in Aurora, Illinois. The school was built in 1917-18 to replace the original Big Woods School, which was built in the mid-19th century and had fallen into disrepair. The red brick school building has a Craftsman design. It was one of the first schoolhouses in DuPage County built after Illinois Sanitation Law of 1915, which created a set of modern safety and sanitation standards for the states public schools. The school&#39;s plan is essentially the same as that recommended by the state, with considerations for playground space, lighting, ventilation, and indoor plumbing. In 1963, the school closed due to consolidation with two nearby schools, and the building was sold to a private owner; it is now owned by a not-for-profit preservation group.</p><br>
<p>The schoolhouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 21, 2016.</p><br>

<p>Bury Walls is an Iron Age hillfort about 1 mi south-east of Weston-under-Redcastle, in Shropshire, England.</p><br>
<p>It has been a scheduled monument since 17 December 1929.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The fort is on a promontory facing south-west, part of the southern escarpment of a sandstone ridge. The altitude is 160 m. The enclosure is about 520 m north to south and 380 m east to west; the area within is about 8 hectare.</p><br>
<p>There are steep slopes on all sides except the north, where there are two massive ramparts and ditches, the inner rampart being about 7.8 m above the interior. Elsewhere there is a single rampart around the edge of the promontory, about 3.0 m along the east side and up to 1.8 m along the west side.</p><br>
<p>From the enclosure there are extensive views to the south, and there is a natural spring within the enclosure. The main entrance is near the north-east corner: there is an inturned entrance about 5 m wide.</p><br>
<h2>Excavation and surveys</h2><br>
<p>In 1930 there was some excavation of the site by E. W. Bowcock. It was found that the bedrock at the entrance was cut by cart ruts. To the right of the entrance there were two areas of broken stone, perhaps indicating hearths, and a possible quern-stone. Near the centre of the interior, foundations of a building were discovered, thought at the time to be medieval, but more recently thought to be the remains of a Romano-Celtic temple.</p><br>
<p>In 1999 and 2000 there were geophysical and topographical surveys. In the northern part of the interior, there was evidence of a series of large concentric terraces; the material taken during their creation was apparently used for the defences.</p><br>

<p>The Spencer House is a historic house at 1039 Asylum Avenue in Hartford, Connecticut. Built in 1929 for a bank chairman, it is one of the last grand houses to be built in the city&#39;s Asylum Hill area, and is a good example of Georgian Revival architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Spencer House is located west of downtown Hartford in the city&#39;s Asylum Hill neighborhood, on the south side of Asylum Avenue at its junction with Gillett Street. It is a 2-1/2 story masonry structure, built out of red brick with wooden trim. It is covered by a side gable roof pierced by three gabled dormers finished in wooden shingles. The main facade is five bays wide, with a recessed center entrance fronted by a gabled portico supported by round columns. An ell extends to the rear of the main block. The interior follows a center hall plan, with what was historically the main parlor on the left, and the library and dining room on the right, with service facilities in the ell.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1929 for Arthur Spencer Jr., chairman of the board of the Hartford National Bank and Trust Company. It was designed by Ebbets & Frid, and marked the end of Asylum Hills period as the citys fashionable residential area. The neighborhood entered a decline with the advent of the Great Depression, and has lost many houses to subsequent commercial development. This house was adapted for use as a medical office in 1959, and as a radio station studio facility in the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>The Burlingham Building is a historic building located at 104 W. Oak Street in the Near North Side neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. Dentist Luke Burlingham had the building constructed in 1883 to house his professional offices, with apartments on the upper floors. While the building was originally four stories tall, the apartments were successful enough that Burlingham added two more stories of apartments in 1897. Architect Alfred Smith designed the Victorian building; as it faces the corner of Oak and Clark Streets, the building is an example of the common Victorian corner buildings of the era. A cast iron turret on the corner and three matching cast iron bays project from the building; each features slate shingles and colored glass in the central windows. The rest of the building is built from red brick with sandstone trim, with a bracketed cast iron cornice along the roof.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 14, 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Cime de Capoves  or Cima Capoves  is a mountain of the Ligurian Alps located in the French region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d&#39;Azur, close to the French-Italian border.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Cime the Capoves up to World War II belonged to Italy but, following the Paris Peace Treaties, signed on February 1947, is now in France because the France–Italy border runs between Colle dei Signori and Colle di Capeves east of the mountain.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The mountain belongs to the Ligurian Alps and is located on the main chain of the Alps. Going South a saddle at 2.007 m, sometimes named Colle di Capoves, divides it from the Cima di Pertegà, wihlie going North the Cime de Capoves is divided from the Cima Gaina by the Colle dei Signori. On the eastern side of the mountain runs a former-military dirt road connecting Monesi (a village of the municipality of Triora) with the colle di Tenda. The summit is marked by a stone cairn and administratively belongs to an exclave of the Frenc municipality of La Brigue.</p><br>

<p>Hisøya or Hisøy  is an island in Aust-Agder county, Norway. The island has been part of the municipality of Arendal since 1992. The main village areas on the island are Kolbjørnsvik, His, Slåbervig, and Sandviga. The village of Kolbjørnsvik is located across the harbor from the town of Arendal. There are two bridges that connect Hisøya to the mainland: the Strøm Bridge on the northwest side of the island and the Vippa Bridge on the southwest side of the island. In 2015, the island was home to about 4,450 people giving it a population density of about 550 PD/km2.</p><br>
<p>The 8.1 km&sup2; island lies along the Skaggerak coast of southeastern Norway. Hisøya is separated from the mainland to the northwest by the river Nidelv. The island of Tromøya lies to the northeast, separated from Hisøya by the Galtesundet strait. The small islands of Ærøya, Havsøya, and Merdø lie just to the southeast of Hisøya. The highest point on Hisøya is the 99 m tall hill on the edge of Kolbjørnsvik.</p><br>
<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>The island (originally the parish) is named Hisøy (or Hisøen) after the old His farm (Old Norse: Hís) since this is where the Hisøy Church is located. The first element, His, means "the cut" (probably referring to how the river Nidelva turns near the island) and the last element is øy or øen which means "island".</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The island was historically part of the large prestegjeld of Øyestad. The boat "Kolbjørn" provided transportation across the harbor for over 100 years. In 1881, Hisøya and several surrounding islands were separated to form the new municipality of Hisøy. This municipality existed from 1881 until 1992 when it was merged into the municipality of Arendal.</p><br>
<p>Timber Point is a historic summer estate in Biddeford, Maine. Located at the city&#39;s southernmost tip, and now part of the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge, the property was developed in the 1930s by architect Charles Ewing for his family. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Timber Point occupies a mostly wooded promontory at the very southernmost tip of Biddeford, across the Little River from the Goose Neck section of Kennebunkport. The estate property, totalling nearly 86 acre, also includes Timber Island, just south of the promontory. It is accessed via Granite Point Road, which passes through the Biddeford unit of the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge, which now includes the Timber Point property. The built elements of the estate include its main house, garage, boathouse and bathhouse, and a number of other outbuildings. The main house is a 1-1/2 story Colonial Revival wood frame structure, which presents a broad facade to the southern vista of the promontory, and a projecting gabled entry section to the north. The interior is composed of a series of rooms, which interconnect without hallways.</p><br>
<p>The property was purchased in 1929 by Louise Parsons Ewing, and was at the time a combination of woods and farmland. Her husband Charles was an architect active in New York City and Maine. He designed the main house and other aspects of the estate, and the couple entertained friends and family there, notably including the artist Rockwell Kent and writers Booth Tarkington and Kenneth Roberts. In 2012 their heirs sold the property to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.</p><br>
<p>Flostaøya is an island in Arendal municipality in Aust-Agder county, Norway. The 7.9 km&sup2; island lies along the Skaggerak coast between the islands of Tromøy to the southwest and Tverrdalsøya to the northeast. The island lies about 11 km northeast of the town of Arendal. Some of the larger villages on the island include Arnevik, Narestø, and Kalvøysund. The island has a bridge connection to the mainland at the southwest corner of the island and there is a bridge connection to Kilsund on the neighboring island of Tverrdalsøya at the north end.</p><br>
<p>The island was historically part of the municipality of Dypvåg until 1902. In 1902, the island (along with Tverrdalsøya and part of the mainland) became a part of the new municipality of Flosta. In 1962, the island became a part of the new municipality of Moland, but that only lasted until 1992 when the island was merged into the municipality of Arendal. The historic Flosta Church is located just north of Narestø on the island of Flostaøya.</p><br>

<p>The Camp Harlan-Camp McKean Historic District, also known as the Hugh B. and Mary H. Swan Farmstead and the Springdale Stock Farm, is a nationally recognized historic district located northwest of Mount Pleasant, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The district is a farm that was used as a rendezvous camp by the Union Army during the American Civil War. The two contributing buildings are brick farm buildings that were here when the camps were in operation. The Hugh B. and Mary Swan House (c. 1854) is a two-story brick structure that exhibits Greek Revival and Italianate influences. The two-level, brick spring house is a vernacular structure with a gable-roof. While typical in Pennsylvania, this is a rare example of a spring house in Iowa. A large stone was erected as a monument to the two Civil War camps in a southwest corner of the farm. It was placed by the Belle Coddington Tent No. 34 of the Daughters of Union Veterans, on June 8, 1930. The open rolling fields to the east of the house are the contributing site as they were the location of the camps. Four frame 20th-century farm buildings are the non-contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>Hugh B. and Mary H. Swan are Pennsylvania natives who built the house and banked spring house around 1854. Part of the farm was leased by the Swans to the federal government for use as a rendezvous camp. Camp Harlan was located here from September 1861 to February 1862 and utilized by the 4th Iowa Cavalry. Camp McKean was located here from August 1862 to November 1862 and it was utilized by the 25th Iowa Infantry. A total of 27 rendezvous camps were utilized in Iowa during the Civil War, and for the most part, they were located along the Mississippi River. In addition to these two camps, "inland" camps were located in Iowa City, Des Moines, Ottumwa, and Oskaloosa. Camp Harlan/McKean was one of five camps in the state that were in operation during rendezvous phases two to four from the fall 1861 to the end of 1862. The other camps include Camp McClellan in Davenport, Camp Lincoln in Keokuk, Camp Union in Dubuque, and Camp Pope in Iowa City. Even though nothing remains of the camps above ground, they are considered well-preserved campsites when considered against the others, which have largely been redeveloped.</p><br>
<p>The Sport was a tugboat, built in 1873 and wrecked in 1920 in Lake Huron. The wreck site, designated 20UH105, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1873, lumber and steel entrepreneur Eber Brock Ward commissioned Frank E. Kirby to design this tug. The boat was built by the Wyandotte Iron Ship Building Works in Wyandotte, Michigan. The Sport was the first steel tug on the Great Lakes, It was designed as a harbor tug, and first used around Wyandotte and the St. Clair River. By 1875, she was assigned to Ludington, Michigan, were Ward owned sawmills. The tug was rebuilt a number of times, and sold to a succession of owners who used it for towing, salvaging and aiding vessels in distress.</p><br>
<p>In 1913, the Sport was sold a final time to Captain Robert Thompson of Port Huron, Michigan. Thompson used it as a fire tug in Port Huron, and for other harbor duties.</p><br>
<p>On December 13, 1920, the Sport set out from Port Huron, bound for Harbor Beach. It encountered a heavy gale, and by 6:00 pm was taking on more water than could be pumped out. The seasick and exhausted firetender returned to his bunk, and the boat lost steam, killing the pumps. The crew abandoned ship at about 11:00 pm, and washed ashore near Lexington, still alive.</p><br>
<p>The wreck of the Sport was discovered in 1987. The marker was damaged and removed in 2002.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Sport was 57 feet long, with a beam of 14 feet, and a depth of 9 feet. It had a net tonnage of 23 tons and gross tonnage of 45 tons. The boat had an iron frame with a steel hull over it.</p><br>
<p>The wreck is in 45 feet of water, with the hull resting upright, listing slightly to starboard. The upper sections of the tug project 20 feet off the bottom. The boat is intact, and a number of tools and relics are scattered around the site.</p><br>
<p>The Stackpole, Moore, and Tryon Building is a historic commercial building at 105-115 Asylum Street in downtown Hartford, Connecticut. Built in the mid-19th century, and extensively altered in 1896, it is a good local example of a period building with a Beaux Arts cast-iron facade. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Stackpole, Moore, and Tryon Building is located on the south side of Hartford&#39;s downtown area, at the southeast corner of Asylum Avenue and Trumbull Street. It is a timber-framed structure with a mainly brick exterior. It is covered by a flat roof with a projecting bracketed cornice, and has a rounded corner featuring curved windows. Most upper-floor windows are set in rectangular openings with brownstone sills and lintels, but a grouping of windows around the building corner have been replaced by a cast-iron facade with large picture windows. The ground-floor storefronts have largely been modernized, although elements of the cast-iron facade are also evident there.</p><br>
<p>The buildings exact construction date is unknown, but is believed to be mid-19th century. Its present appearance dates to a major renovation conducted in 1896 under the auspices of architect Isaac A. Allen Jr. The cast iron facade elements were provisioned at that time by the Phoenix Iron Works of Hartford, which also supplied elements for the Connecticut State House and buildings at Trinity College. The building was for many years home to a clothing retailer, known for most of the 20th century as Stackpole, Moore, and Tryon; it presently houses a bank on the ground floor. At the time of the buildings listing on the National Register in 1978, it had been in continuous ownership by the same family for more than 120 years.</p><br>
<p>The Southwest District School is a historic school building at 430 Simsbury Road in Bloomfield, Connecticut. Built in 1858, it is one of the town&#39;s few surviving 19th-century district school buildings. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Southwest District School is located in a rural-residential area of southwestern Bloomfield, on the east side of Simsbury Road (Connecticut Route 185) a short way south of its junction with High Hill Road. It is set close to the road on a very small parcel of land. It is a single-story stone structure, with a gabled roof. The stone appears to be locally quarried rock, cut in random sizes and shapes, with square-cut corner blocks. Windows are set in rectangular openings, with sandstone sills and lintels. The street-facing gable facade has two windows, while the south-facing facade has the entrance at the left end, and three windows to its right. The door opens into a small vestibule, which has had a closet partitioned off the far end, with the balance of the building occupied by the classroom. The vestibule is finished in tongue-and-groove wood boards, while the main chamber is plastered, with wide moulding.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1858 by David Grant, who was listed in local census records as a farmer. The school was built to serve the predominantly rural agricultural families of the area, and remained in operation until 1922, when the town closed the last of its district schools. The school&#39;s stone construction was fairly typical of rural construction in the area, where a number of farmhouses were also built out of locally quarried materials.</p><br>
<p>The John L. Fead House is a private house located at 5349 Washington Street in Lexington, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>John L. Fead was born in Bavaria, Germany in 1834. In 1852, he emigrated to America, and settled in Lexington, where an uncle had preceded him. Here he married Augusta Walthers, and settled in as a merchant. He eventually partnered with a local friend, Rudolph Andreae, to establish the first local woolen mill. By 1870, the pair had constructed a brick mill building in Lexington just south of the current location of the Fead House.</p><br>
<p>By the early 1890s, Fead was wealth enough to build this large and fashionable house on the shore of Lake Huron. He lived here with his wife Augusta and their nine children.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The house is a 2-1/2 story frame Queen Anne style house, covered with clapboard, with Eastlake detailing. The main facade has two major bays, the right one of which is narrower and recessed. The smaller bay contains a double entry door in a simple squared surround; the larger contains a bay window. A slant-roofed front porch, detailed with turned spindlework and crosswork, spans both bays. The second floor contains a similar bay window to that on the first floor, along with a double-hung sash. Another window is in the gable above. Board and batten siding is applied above the halfway point of the second floor windows.</p><br>
<p>The side elevations each feature a prominent bay window, and one has a side porch similar in appearance to the main front porch. The rear features a single-story addition, original to the house.</p><br>
<p>Mount Agung, a volcano on the island of Bali in Indonesia, erupted in 2017, causing thousands to evacuate and disrupting air travel. sS inceaA s of us, 2017 2017 All articles containing potentially dated statements, the alert level was at its highest and evacuation orders were in place.</p><br>
<p>Tectonic earthquakes from the volcano had been detected since early August, and volcanic activity intensified for several weeks before decreasing significantly in late October. A second, more violent period of major activity began in late November.</p><br>
<h2>Timeline of eruptive events</h2><br>
<h3>1843 eruption</h3><br>
<p>Agung erupted in 1843 as reported by Heinrich Zollinger:</p><br>
<h3>1963 eruption</h3><br>
<p>Mount Agungs 1963 eruption was among the most catastrophic volcanic events in Indonesian history. After initial explosions in the crater on 18 February of that year, lava began flowing down the mountain on 24 February, eventually traveling 7 km over the next three weeks. On 17 March, a highly explosive eruption occurred, reaching a VEI (Volcanic Explosivity Index) of 5 and sending lethal pyroclastic flows at high speeds down the mountains slopes, killing at least 1,500 people. Heavy rainfall mixed with ash from the eruption in the following days, causing extensive lahars which killed an additional ~200 people. A smaller eruption occurred on 16 May, sending pyroclastic flows down the mountain once more and killing another ~200 people. By the time the eruptions ceased in early 1964, they had claimed 1,900 lives, marking the event as the 8th deadliest volcanic eruption of the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>Since 1963, the population of Bali has nearly doubled. Mount Agung is therefore considered highly dangerous by Indonesian authorities. This concern was the primary reason behind their decision to evacuate more than 100,000 people in response to the surge in local tectonic activity in the latter half of 2017.</p><br>
<h3>Major activity in 2017</h3><br>
<h4>August</h4><br>
<p>Volcanic earthquakes were observed from 10 August 2017 and the intensity increased in the following weeks.</p><br>
<h4>September</h4><br>
<p>In September 2017, an increase of rumbling and seismic activity around the volcano made people raise the alert to the highest level and about 122,500 people were evacuated from their homes around the volcano. The Indonesian National Disaster Management Authority declared a 12-kilometer exclusion zone around the volcano on 24 September. A plume was observed on 13 September.</p><br>
<p>Evacuees gathered in sports halls and other community buildings around Klungkung, Karangasem, Buleleng, and other areas. The monitoring station is located in Tembuku, Rendang, Karangasem Regency, where intensity and frequency of tremors were monitored for signs of the imminent large eruption.</p><br>
<p>The area experienced 844 volcanic earthquakes on 25 September, and 300 to 400 earthquakes by midday on 26 September. Seismologists have been alarmed at the force and frequency of the incidents as it has taken much less for similar volcanos to erupt.</p><br>
<h4>October</h4><br>
<p>In late October 2017, the activity of the volcano decreased significantly, leading to lowering of the alert status on 29 October.</p><br>
<p>The alert level remained at 3 (out of 4) until the start of the second major activity period, and plumes were observed during this time.</p><br>
<h4>21 November</h4><br>
<p>There was a small phreatic eruption reported at 09:05 (UTC), with the ash cloud top reaching 3,842 m above sea level. Thousands of people immediately fled the area, and over 29,000 temporary refugees were reported to be housed in over 270 locations nearby.</p><br>
<h4>25 November</h4><br>
<p>A magmatic eruption began early on Saturday morning. The resulting eruption plume was reported to rise about 1.5–4 km above the summit crater, drifting towards the south and dusting the surroundings with a thin layer of dark ash, leading some airlines to cancel flights bound for Australia and New Zealand. An orange glow was later observed around the crater at night, confirming that fresh magma had indeed reached the surface.</p><br>
<h4>26 November</h4><br>
<p>At 23:37 (UTC), another eruption occurred. More than 100,000 people in a 10 km radius of the volcano were ordered to evacuate.</p><br>
<h4>27 November</h4><br>
<h4>29 November</h4><br>
<p>Reductions in eruption intensity and wind dispersal of the ash cloud led authorities to reopen Ngurah Rai International Airport at 07:00 (UTC). Authorities also warned that the eruption volume could increase again at any time, potentially shutting down air traffic once more.</p><br>
<h2>Impact</h2><br>
<p>The eruption caused some 40,000 people to be evacuated from 22 villages around Mount Agung. It also caused surrounding airports to be closed. Lombok International Airport, located on the neighboring island of Lombok, closed on 26 November, but was reopened the next morning, only to be closed again on 30 November. Ngurah Rai International Airport, located at the southern tip of the island and southwest of the volcano, closed on 27 November. More than 400 flights were canceled and about 59,000 passengers remained grounded. The airport was reopened on 29 November.</p><br>

<p>Woodbine Savings Bank, also known as the Columbia Hotel, Haight Real Estate and Insurance, and Swain Realty, is located in Woodbine, Iowa, United States. The significance of this building has less to do with banking specifically, and commerce in general. After the building was constructed it housed both the bank and the hotel. The bank occupied the northwest corner of the building and it remained here for forty years. The hotel occupied the southern portion of the building and then it expanded to the east with a new addition not long after its initial construction. A milinary shop occupied its former first-floor location. The building was the largest in town until 1966. The hotel remained for only eight years, and it was one of two hotels in town in those years. Other significant businesses that occupied the building include Boyer Valley Telephone Company, which expanded from one line out of town to multiple lines during its short tenancy here. Other businesses include the town newspaper, the Woodbine Twiner, the Harrison County Rural Electric Cooperative had their first offices here, and Haight Real Estate and Insurance Company, which occupied the bank&#39;s former location for another 40 years.</p><br>

<p>The Corning Commercial Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Corning, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012. The district covers most of the central business district. It has a linear layout, with twin main streets , associated with Central Park and the Adams County Courthouse  at its uppermost end. This is an unusual town layout and is thought to be the only town in Iowa so configured. The elevation slopes down toward the East Nodaway River, south of the downtown and a light industrial area.</p><br>
<p>The commercial buildings are mostly masonry structures constructed with bricks. Many of them replaced wood-frame structures that were destroyed in an 1896 fire. Two other periods of major development include the years after the Panic of 1893 and the Great Depression. The latter focuses on the role the Federal government played in the enhancement of public art. The buildings are from one- to three stories in height, although most are no taller than two stories. Besides commercial use, buildings here also housed theaters, government functions, especially federal agricultural agencies, and the inclusion of automobile-related businesses. The Corning Opera House (1902) is individually listed on the National Register. The park and its fountain are the contributing site and the contributing object.</p><br>

<p>It is a 200 square yard single story structure of ramparts and parapets built with lakhori bricks and lime mortar. It has a grand arched gateway that opens into an inner courtyard surrounded by corridors. In the courtyard, the extreme corner on the left has two rooms that were used as jail by the Jat zaildar to imprison those zamidars who defaulted on their zamindari land tax. Next to the jail rooms, a small staircase leads to the terrace. The terrace has one bastion on each of its four corners. These bastions served as guard posts. The courtyard had a water well to serve the occupants.</p><br>
<h2>Conservation</h2><br>
<p>After the Bawana fortress was abandoned around late 1990s or so, large portions of its walls, built from lakhori bricks, were ruined from both the out- and inside. The parapet collapsed. The old water well dried up and its water also turned saline. It saw minor restorations in 2004 and again in 2010 for the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, though the earlier 2004 plan to convert it into a monument for the Indian independence freedom fighters did not materialise. In February 2017 major restoration by the State Archeology department of the Government of Delhi eventually commenced, using original construction material of that era, including a concrete preparation with 23 ingredients including lime, surki (trass), jaggery, bael fruit (wood apple) pulp and urad ki daal (paste of vigna mungo pulse).</p><br>

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010. Beginning in the mid-19th century county homes began to be established across the state to take care of less fortunate residents. That care then extended to the end of the 20th century. The Hardin County Home operated at this location from 1877 to 1996. The historic district encompasses the buildings, farm fields, and cemetery associated with the home. The first burial in the cemetery, located on the southwest corner of the property, was in 1877. The graves are marked with simple stone markers. The last burial was in 2008. Farm fields surround the buildings and extend to the north.</p><br>
<p>The original home was destroyed in an April 1924 fire. Des Moines architect Willfred Holtzman, Jr. designed a three-story, brick, Neoclassical building to replace it. The T-plan structure was completed in 1927 when the funds became available to complete it. This is the only county home in Iowa that is known to be built in the 1920s. It was expanded in 1953 with a two-story addition in that follows the Modern Movement. A new barn had been completed two years prior. A hollow tile block pump house, built either in the 1920s or in the 1950s, is the third contributing building. The non-contributing buildings include a shelter house (c. 1975), used for outdoor events, and a machine/equipment shed (c. 1977). In the second half of the 20th century, the home became more of a nursing home, and it served that purpose until it closed in 1996. The residents at that time were moved into Eldora.</p><br>
