Wood, who was becoming involved in both the mercantile business and lumber industry in Sanilac County. Wood invited Nims to join his firm, and in 1853 Nims moved to Lexington. By 1858, Nims involvement in the business led Woods to make him a partner in the firm. In 1873, S. C. Tewksbury bought out Woods interest, making Nims the senior partner.</p><br>
<p>Nims was also involved in family and community. He married his first wife, Susan B. Greene, in 1856, but she died six years later.

<p>Fred Maytag Park is a public park located in Newton, Iowa, United States. It was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010. The park was a gift from F.L. Maytag, founder of the Maytag Company, to the people of Newton. It is signicant as an example of a privately-funded public park during the Great Depression. The 40 acre partial of land was acquired by Maytag in 1935. It had previously served as the fairgrounds owned by the Jasper County Agricultural Society. He made an agreement with the city council that the park would be privately owned and operated, but open for public use. The city was required to provide water and electricity. It remained a privately owned park until 1977 when it was conveyed to the city.</p><br>
<p>The park was laid out by the Chicago landscape design firm of Simonds, West, and Blair. Chicago architect and Newton native, John Reed Fugard, designed the swimming pool (1935), bathhouse (1935), amphitheater (1936), the Superintendents residence and office (1936). Buildings that pre-date the establishment of the park include a pioneer log cabin (1848) and the livestock workshed (c. 1920). Both were part of the fairgrounds, and the log cabin is believed to be the last structure of its kind extant in Jasper County. Other historic elements include the north entry structures (1935), the roadway (1935), the flagpole area (1935), an incinerator (c. 1935), two stone privys (c. 1935), three stone fireplaces (1935), four concrete boundary pillars (1935, 1936), two parking areas (north, 1935; west 1936), the ice skating rink (1936), the north softball field (1936), the tennis courts (1936), childrens playground (1936), and the west shelter house (1940)</p><br>
<p>Eşek Island , also known as Kara Island , Goni Adasi or Donkey Island, is an island to the north of Çeşme in İzmir Province of Turkey. Located on the east side of the Chios Strait opposite the Greek island of Chios, it is the largest of a group of uninhabited islands sitting at the mouth of the Ildır bay which is situated between the Çeşme and Karaburun peninsulas.</p><br>
<p>The island is a popular day trip destination by boat from Çeşme, and known for its donkeys, which are popular with local and foreign tourists. "Eşek" means donkey, or ass, in Turkish, and the donkeys are the source of the current popular name for the island. The government has improved the conditions of the donkey population (which exists because of a few animals left abandoned on the island previously), providing them with fresh water and shelter from the sun. Electricity to draw and treat water comes from solar panels and wind turbines.</p><br>
<p>The island has a total area of 670 hectares and highest elevation of 218 meters. Two smaller islands lie directly east of the island, known as Kucuk Ada, and Toprak Ada, and a few even smaller islands including Uzunada are also in close proximity. The nearest part of the mainland lies to the east of the island, which is a small peninsula jutting out of Karaburun peninsula known as Colak Burnu, and which features the promontory of Teke Dagi which reaches 312 meters in height.</p><br>
<h2>Other islands</h2><br>
<p>The island should not be confused with the Greek island of Agathonisi to the south off the coast of Didim, Turkey, which is also called "Eşek Adasi" in Turkish, or other Turkish islands also referred to "Kara Ada", including one near Bodrum.</p><br>
<p>Brown Apartments is a historic building located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States. Designed by local architect William J. Brown, this is an early example of an apartment suites building type and the first known English basement apartment building in the city. Other innovations from the time of construction include the janitor’s living quarters, a common laundry room, and tenant storage areas. The building&#39;s first owners were Arthur and Elizabeth Brown. He was an ice cream manufacturer and marketer, and it is unknown if he was related to the architect. The four-story, brick structure features American Craftsman influences. The symmetrical facade consists of three projecting solarium bays between which are the entry ways into the building. Both of the entry porches has heavy wooden brackets, and each bay is capped with distinctive wood parapets that are supported by heavy timber brackets. Regionalist painter Marvin Cone lived in the building from 1920 to 1923. He dedicated two oil paintings to the Browns in lieu of rent. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>The W.R. Roach Cannery Warehouse and Office Building is an industrial structure located at 89 East Sanborn in Croswell, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005, and now contains apartments, known as Cannery Village.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>William R. Roach owned a pea-canning factory in Hart, Michigan. In 1915, he planted an experimental crop north of Lexington, Michigan to determine if the soil was suitable. The crop thrived, and in 1917 Roach proposed an agreement to the Croswell Improvement Association to build a canning factory there. The Improvement Association agreed, money was raised, and work on the foundation of the building began in November 1917. Work ceased during the winter, and was resumed in March 1918. The factory was completed in mid-May. Construction on the adjoining warehouse began in 1918 and ended the next year.</p><br>
<p>At the same time that construction was being completed, Roach dismantled his factory in Hart and moved the equipment to the new plant. Production of canned peas was begun even before the exterior of the plant was finalized. The cannery provided significant employment for the surrounding community. During World War I and World War II, production shifted to supporting the armed forces, with pork and beans being a significant part of the output. William R. Roach retired in the early 1930&#39;s, and the cannery business was reorganized and sold to Compton Foods.</p><br>
<p>Stokely Van Camp Foods purchased the plant in 1946, and operated it until its closure in 1978. The factory was demolished in stages, and was completely gone in 1994. The warehouse was used by a local company until 1999.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The original complex constructed by W.R. Roach included a cannery itself, a warehouse, an office building and a vinery building. Both the vinery building and the cannery have been demolished, leaving the warehouse and office building.</p><br>
<p>The office building is a single story red brick structure with a hip roof and full basement. The building measures 24 feet by 44 feet. Both the roof eaves and the lower courses of brick flare slightly. The interior of the office building contains a large general office space and a private office with a bathroom behind. The lower level contains another bathroom, a kitchen, an eating area and another office.</p><br>
<p>The warehouses is a two-story brick structure measuring 312 feet by 84 feet on a poured concrete foundation with extends upward approximately 24 inches above ground level. Window openings measure 44 inches by 73 inches. The interior has been refurbished into 41 apartments, with four one-bedroom and thirteen two-bedroom apartments on the first floor and two three-bedroom and twenty-two two bedroom apartments on the second.</p><br>
<p>The Terry-Hayden House is a historic house on Middle Street in Bristol, Connecticut. Built in 1835 and enlarged in 1884, it is a well-preserved example of a Greek Revival house with a four-column temple portico. Now part of a professional office complex called Terry Commons, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Terry-Hayden House is located east of downtown Bristol, on the east side of Middle Street (Connecticut Route 229), just south of its junction with Pine Street. It is set well back from the road, separated from it by open space and the parking lot of the accompanying modern profession office complex. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and mainly clapboarded exterior. It is composed of several different sections, the most prominent being the three-bay center. It is fronted by a mammoth two-story Greek Revival temple front, with four square Doric columns rising to a full entablature and pedimented gable. The gable cornice is studded with modillions, and it central field is filled with a semi-oval window. Windows are set in rectangular openings with projecting caps, and the main entrance is in the right bay, framed by pilasters and a corniced entablature. To the right of this bay is the 1884 addition, a two-bay frame structure with similar window styling. A more modern two-story ell, also with sympathetic styling, has been to the left side.</p><br>
<p>The central portion of the house was built in 1831 by Theodore Terry, a nephew of Eli Terry who was like his father and uncle a clockmaker, operating one of the city&#39;s largest clock factories. Terry sold the house in 1850 to Henry Mitchell, a lawyer, businessman, and politician. Mitchell made the addition on the right side of the house. In 1899 it was purchased by Leonard Hayden, whose family owned it at least into the early 1980s. The house is a prominent local example of Greek Revival architecture, notable both for its late Federal period features (the semi-oval window), and the sympathetic Italianate addition of Mitchell.</p><br>
<p>The Verbrannter Berg  near Wolfgarten in the county of Euskirchen in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia is a hill, in the Kermeter, a ridge in the Eifel mountains, in the region of Rur Eifel; at the same time Verbrannter Berg is the name of a parcel of land.</p><br>
<h2>Origin of the name</h2><br>
<p>The origin of the name is not clear. One possible explanation is the former presence of numerous charcoal piles on the Kermeter in the past.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The Verbrannter Berg rises in the Eifel National Park on the Kermeter ridge above the valleys of the Rur to the north and the Urft to the south. Its summit lies about 260 metres south of the Landesstraße 15 or Kermeter High Road (Kermeterhochstraße), which runs from the Rur Dam southeastwards over the ridge to the L 249; the latter then runs to the nearby Schleiden village of Wolfgarten.</p><br>
<h2>Flora</h2><br>
<p>The area around of the Verbrannter Berg forms one of the largest contiguous forests in the state.</p><br>

<p>The William H. Thompson Farmstead is a historic farm property at 215 and 219 Melrose Road in East Windsor, Connecticut. It includes a 19th-century farmhouse built by a member of one of the community&#39;s oldest families, and exhibits changing trends in agriculture uses over a 150 year period. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The William H. Thompson Farmstead is located in rural northeastern East Windsor&#39;s Melrose area, on the north side of Melrose Road at its junctions with East Road and Pease Road. It consists of 39 acre, legally separated into two parcels. Set facing the Melrose Road on either side of Pease Road are a c. 1850 Greek Revival farmhouse (to the right) and a more modest Bungalow style house (to the left) built in 1917. Behind the farmhouse stand two barns and a pumphouse, all of 19th-century construction, while a small period garage stands behind the Bungalow house.</p><br>
<p>The land in this area was probably first cultivated by colonial settlers in the 17th century, when it was part of Windsor. The Thompson family were among those first settlers, and one of their descendants, William H. Thompson, built the Greek Revival farmhouse around 1850. Thompson was a prominent local leader, serving as tax assessor and town selectman for some years, and also serving for two years in the state legislature. He was instrumental in the establishment and construction of the Broad Brook Congregational Church, where he also held many titles. In 1900 he sold the farmstead to John Pease, whose family owned it until 1957. The Bungalow was built in 1917 for his sisters Laura and Zeba.</p><br>
<p>Chariton Cemetery is located in Chariton, Iowa, United States. It was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010. The Chariton Cemetery Company was incorporated in 1864 as a private cemetery. It was sold to the city for $10,000 in 1924. That same year they hired Des Moines landscape architect Ray F. Wyrick to plan the landscaping and for future expansion. The plan he came up with was the rural cemetery concept. He replaced its formal garden design with curving roadways and waterways that reflected its natural setting. Babyland for infant burials was created in 1930. He also designed the north entrance gate, which was built with Works Progress Administration funds in 1937. Wyrick continued to work with the cemetery into the 1960s.</p><br>
<p>An English cottage-style building was built in 1929 as a rest house/chapel. It was designed and built by local contractor E.H. Best. It features a brick exterior with stucco trim, and half-timbering in the gable end. Its exposed rafter ends are elements of the American Craftsman style. Wyrick&#39;s entrance gates utilize the same style. A steel maintenance building is the non-contributing building.</p><br>
<p>The Town Bridge is a historic truss bridge, carrying Town Bridge over the Farmington River in Canton, Connecticut. Built in 1895, it is one of only two surviving pin-connected Parker truss bridges in the state. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Town Bridge is located in a rural-residential setting of southwestern Canton, north of the village of Collinsville and about 0.1 mi west of Connecticut Route 179 on Town Bridge Road. It is a single-span Parker truss, with a total length of about 172 ft, and a height above the river of about 12.5 ft. It has a metal deck covered in asphalt, and carries a single lane of traffic. Its entrance portals are adorned with iron cresting.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was built in 1895 for the town by the Berlin Iron Bridge Company, Connecticuts leading manufacturer of iron bridges at the time. The bridge is distinctive for a number of reasons. It is the only surviving Berlin bridge in the state that is not of lenticular truss design, which then predominated in the companys production, and is one of less than two dozen Berlin bridges left in the state (out of more than 100 originally built). It is one of only two Parker trusses with pinned connections, a method of connecting the truss members that gave way to riveted connections (also present on this structure) by about 1900. The bridge was built as part of a town program to improve all of its crossings of the swift-flowing and flood-prone Farmington River.</p><br>
<p>The Townsend G. Treadway House is a historic house at 100 Oakland Street in Bristol, Connecticut.

<p>The house was built in 1915 for Townsend G. Treadway, a descendant of clockmaker Eli Terry and a member of one of the city&#39;s most influential industrial families. The house was designed by the New York firm Murphy & Dana, whose commissions include a number of other high-profile designs in northwestern Connecticut. Treadway remained in the house until his death in 1972, after which it was sold out of the family. It was enlarged in 1936, to a design by Dana, in which the original single-story kitchen wing was raised to two stories, and the portico added.</p><br>

<p>South Dakota Department of Transportation Bridge No. 63-016-150 is a historic bridge in rural western Turner County, South Dakota. Built in 1935, it is a well-preserved period stone-arch bridge, built with funding from a New Deal jobs program. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Bridge No. 63-016-150 is located in rural western Turner County, carrying 283rd Street over an unnamed stream, between 441st and 442nd Avenues. It is a two-arch stone structure, with a total length of about 22 ft. Its two arches are segmental, with a span of 7 ft, and rise about 9 ft above the stream bed. The bridge has stone wing walls, and a cutwater on the south side of the central pier. The bridge is fashioned out of locally quarried quartzite fieldstone, most of which is roughly cut and randomly laid. The finished surfaces have been trimmed and squared.</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 Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA). The county administration was able to build stone bridges at a lower cost than then-conventional steel beam bridges because of the availability of experienced stone workers, and the federal subsidy to the wages they were paid. The county was responsible for supervising the work crews and providing the building materials. This bridge was built in 1935 by a county crew to a standardized state design. It is one of only two bridges in the county built with FERA funding; others were built with later Works Progress Administration funds.</p><br>

The first railroad arrived in the city in 1867, and by 1898 there were 11 truck line railroads that terminated here. That made Council Bluffs an excellent place for the transfer and distribution of goods. Chicago based McCormick Harvesting Machine Company had this four-story brick structure built in 1894 as one of their branch houses. Those facilities acted as a dealership for the companys products. In the 1902 McCormick and four other companies merged to form International Harvester . By 1922, this building became one of IHs four domestic transfer house facilities. Those facilities received large stocks of the company&#39;s products by train and distributed them to the branch houses. IH continued to use this building until 1964.

<p>The Häuschen lies within the natural region major unit group of the East Eifel (no. 27), in the major unit of the Ahr Eifel (272) and the subunit of the South Ahr Upland (Südliches Ahrbergland, 272.3), its northern flank being part of the lower subunit of the Middle Ahr Valley (Mittleres Ahrtal, 272.2) and in the natural room of the Recher Ahrengtal (272.21).</p><br>
<h3>Height</h3><br>
<p>The height of the Häuschen is but is sometimes rounded off to, which relates to the height given on the topographical map of, but is in fact a point about 45 metres east of the summit on a forest track. There is another spot height to the west-northwest of in the col between the Häuschen and its west-northwestern top.</p><br>
<h2>Protected areas</h2><br>
<p>On the Häuschen lies part of the protected landscape of the Rhine-Ahr Eifel (CDDA no. 323834; designated in 1980; 925.86 km²). Its western flank descends into the bird reserve of Ahrgebirge (VSG no. 5507-401; 304.23 ha).</p><br>
<h2>Häuschen Tower</h2><br>
<p>On 11 May 1908 an observation tower was erected on the Häuschen, the Häuschen Tower (Häuschen-Turm), which was 20 metres high. In the final phase of the Second World War (1939–1945) it housed a radio station of the Wehrmacht, and the wooden tower was burned down in spring 1945. On 30 September 1956 a new tower was inaugurated, of which only a few remains exist. From the viewing platform there was an all-round view of the Eifel including the Ahr Hills (Ahr Eifel), of Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler in the Ahr Valley and as far as the Siebengebirge and Westerwald.</p><br>
<h2>Transport and walking</h2><br>
<p>The B 267 runs past the Häuschen to the north through the Ahr valley. The L 84 runs past to the east from Ahrweiler to Ramersbach, and the L 85 southwest of Kesseling to Staffel and continues east-northeast through Ramersbach. Over the hill run several trails including main trail (Hauptwanderweg) no. 11 (Sinzig–Monschau) of the Eifel Club.</p><br>

<p>The Treadwell House is a historic house at 253 Spielman Highway in the center of Burlington, Connecticut. Built about 1810 for John Treadwell, then the Governor of Connecticut, it is a distinctive local example of Federal period architecture with Greek Revival overlay features. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It is now used for commercial purposes.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Treadwell House stands in the village center of Burlington, on the east side of its triangular green, between George Washington Turnpike and Spielman Highway (Connecticut Route 4). It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. Its primary facade faces south toward the turnpike, while a secondary facade faces west to the green, with the roof ridge oriented north-south. The south facade is three bays wide, with the main entrance in the right bay. The door and windows are framed by modest mouldings, and there is a half-round opening (presently filled with a louver, but originally with a window) in the gable above. The west facade is also three bays wide, with a more elaborate but false entrance at its center, framed by pilasters and topped by an entablature and cornice. A modernized ell extends eastward from the main block.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1810 for John Treadwell, a Farmington native who was then serving as Governor of Connecticut; however, there is no evidence he ever actually resided here, since his residence was always listed as Farmington. The house is remarkably little-altered, and some of its Greek Revival features are a notably early adoption of that style. The next two owners of the house were ministers at the local Congregational church. The building was purchased by the town in 1970, which used it for storage. Declared surplus in the late 1970s, it was rescued from demolition by local preservationists, and readapted for use as a bank.</p><br>
<p>The Colonials Club House, also known as the Beta Deuteron Charge House of Theta Delta Chi, is a historic building located in Ames, Iowa, United States. The significance of this building is its role in the development of the city&#39;s Fourth Ward. Prior to its construction in 1910, off campus student housing was clustered on the west side of the Iowa State College (now Iowa State University campus. This building opened up the southeast side of the campus, and it became the preferred location for new fraternity and sorority residences. It was also a change in how those residences were designed. Prior fraternity and sorority houses in Ames were frame, vernacular, single-family dwellings. Designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Proudfoot & Bird, this 2½-brick structure features the Colonial Revival style, which became one of the prominent styles for fraternity and sorority houses associated with the university.</p><br>
<p>The original main block of the building was built for a local fraternity “The Colonials” (or the “Colonial Club”). In 1920 they became a local chapter of the national fraternity Theta Delta Chi, and the building was expanded. Another addition was constructed in 1966. It was designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Woodburn & O’Neil. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<p>The Teufelsley  is a hill, in the East Eifel, a region of the Eifel mountains in Germany. It is located near Liers in the county of Ahrweiler in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate and consists of the largest contiguous quartzite block in Europe.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<h3>Location</h3><br>
<p>The Teufelsley rises in the municipalities of Hönningen and Dümpelfeld. Its summit lies 1.8 kilometres south-southwest of the centre of Hönningen, 1.3 kilometres east of the village of Liers and 1 km north-northeast of the weekend residential area of Ommelbachtal.</p><br>
<p>The Dennbach stream, a tributary of Kesselinger Bach, flows past the Teufelsley to the east. The Kesselinger Bach empties into the Rhine tributary of the Ahr, 3.1 kilometres north of the hill in the Ahrbrück village of Brück.</p><br>
<h3>Natural regions</h3><br>
<p>The Teufelsley is in the natural region major unit group of the East Eifel (no. 27), in the major unit of the Ahr Eifel (272) and the subunit of the Southern Ahr Hills (272.3). Its western flank descends into the natural region of Dümpelfelder Ahrtal (272.20), which is part of the Middle Ahr Valley (272.2).</p><br>
<h2>Legend</h2><br>
<p>Gottfried Kinkels remarks about the Teufelsley included the following: "This quite fantastic rock rises on a narrow ridge, so that it looks as if it has been shattered by a massive blow from the east. There is no doubt that the legend, in which the devil built the castle here, high in the heavens, in defiance of God, was based on this observation of the rocks, which had already been made by people in the past with a natural astuteness. (...) This time, as always, it di not turn out well for the devil: his half-finished castle was smashed a single blow of the Gods hand, and the rock really does give the impression of a Cyclopian castle ruin.." However, there is no historical evidence at all indicating that there was actually a castle on the Teufelsley and neither are any ruins discernible.</p><br>
<p>The Veitskopf is hill, in the Eifel mountains of Germany. It is located in the county of Ahrweiler in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. It rises north of the lake of Laacher See in the area of the village of Wassenach.</p><br>
<p>Der Veitskopf is the cinder cone of a volcano that erupted during the Quaternary period. Because there are no reference strata, its age cannot be accurately estimated. The Veitskopf produced three lava flows, of which the first and easily the largest spread out northwards from the crater rim in the west. Because the neighbouring valley, the Gleeser Tal, was formed after the eruption of the Veitskopf, this lava flow stands above the present valley and forms the so-called Mauerley. The two lava streams that run in a southerly direction are nowhere near as large and were first identified from magnetic surveys because they were covered by a layer of pumice. At the top of the Veitskopf is the Lydia Tower which enables an all-round view that includes the Laacher See, the Brohltal valley and even the Siebengebirge hills.</p><br>
<h2>Footnotes and references</h2><br>
<p>The name and height of the hill differs on the different maps produced by the Conservation Office of Rhineland-Palatinate. On the DTK 1:5,000 scale map it is called the Feithskopf and its height is given as hoch, on the DTK 1:25,000 scale map it is called the Veitskopf and its height is shown as.</p><br>
<p>The Bausenberg is a cinder cone hill, in the East Eifel in the county of Ahrweiler in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The Bausenberg is located between Niederzissen immediately to the south and Waldorf to the north-northeast. To the east is the motorway junction of Niederzissen on the A61.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The area around the Bausenberg is a protected area, which was initially provisionally established by a regulation dated 27 August 1968. On 14 April 1981, the hill was officially declared a nature reserve by the regional government of Koblenz. The reserve has an area of 127 hectares and covers parts of the parishes of Niederzissen and Waldorf. Its purposes are to preserve the cinder cone, including its northeasterly lava flow, due to its special geological significance and also to protect, for scientific reasons, rare plant species and communities as well as habitats for rare animals. Also on the Bausenberg is a well formed circular rampart which is part of the reserve.</p><br>
