<p>The Great Sierra Wagon Road was a route through the Sierra Nevada in California, built to bring supplies to the Great Sierra Mine on Tioga Hill in the high country of what was to become Yosemite National Park. The road was built in 1882 by the Great Sierra Silver Mining Company, extending over 56.25 mi, in 130 days. The mine promptly shut down, leaving the road without a purpose. In 1915 the road was purchased by Stephen T. Mather, the independently wealthy first director of the National Park Service, who donated it to the Park Service. The Park Service opened the road to the public, calling it the Tioga Road. Designated California State Route 120, the road traverses the park from its west to east entrances.</p><br>
<p>The portion of the road that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 25, 1978 is now known as the Old Tioga Road, left behind when the Tioga Road was realigned to avoid Aspen Valley in the western part of the park. The Old Tioga Road is a park service road, not open to the public apart from a short section that provides access to private inholdings. The road preserves stone retaining walls, known as "Chinese Walls" after the Chinese laborers who built them. The service road section remains largely unchanged from its original construction.</p><br>
<p>Bolna  is a mountain in the Saltfjellet mountain range in the municipality of Rana in Nordland county, Norway. The mountain peak reaches 1,460 m above sea level, and is located just north of the Arctic Circle inside Saltfjellet–Svartisen National Park. The mountain peak is located less than 2 km west of the municipal border with Saltdal and about 15 km west of the border with Sweden.</p><br>
<p>At the southeastern foot of the mountain sits Bolna Station, a railway station on the Nordland Line. The Norwegian Mountain Touring Association has a mountain lodge named Bolnastua located only 200 m from the railway station. The cabin was completed in 1993 and has 13 beds. The European route E6 highway and the river Ranelva both pass along the south and eastern side of the mountain. The station and Bolnastua cabin are both situated in a mountain birch forest near the treeline.</p><br>
<p>Ilha dos Marinheiros  is an island located in the south part of a lagoon named Lagoa dos Patos, located in the municipality of Rio Grande, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. It is situated on the west bank of that lagoon. This island has an area 39.28 km²  and is situated 1.5 km  off the continent at its nearest point.</p><br>
<p>It has 1,324 inhabitants (2000 Census), the majority of Portuguese descent.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Ilha dos Marinheiros is considered part of the heritage of the city of Rio Grande due to the preservation of the culture of the Portuguese, who colonized it. Before the arrival of the first Portuguese settlers, the island was occupied by indigenous people. According to archaeological evidence discovered there, the groups were: Minuane, Charrua and Guaraní.</p><br>
<p>The importance of the island was tied to the Rio Grande, which supplied water, firewood, and wood for the fortifications as well as for the settlers of the Town of Rio Grande de São Pedro. In the past, the island supplied all of the trade in Rio Grande and nearby locations; it currently produces about 80% of the vegetables consumed in Rio Grande.</p><br>
<p>In 1845, the island was visited by Emperor Dom Pedro II of Brazil.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Ilha dos Marinheiros is the largest and most fertile island of the Lagoa dos Patos. Near the banks, the depth of the basin is less than 1 metre (3.28 feet). To the south, there is a thin chain of dunes covered by heterogeneous vegetation.</p><br>
<p>The island formed from the gradual accumulation of sediments of fluvio-lacustrine origin and its natural landscape consists of three different areas: the margins, the high dunes area and the interior (depression on dunes). From the limits of the chain of dunes to the interior of the island, there is a great scene of lagoons, dunes, a forest of pine and shrubs. The chain of dunes covers an extension from northeast to northwest. The high dunes are formed by quartz grains. Currently, the dunes have thicker vegetation because of reforestation programs carried out by private companies. There is a depression on the island, which creates many lakes in the winter, which almost completely dry in the summer.</p><br>
<p>It is considered the most fertile part of the municipality of Rio Grande and has been the most important agricultural centre for the production of vegetables, fruit and manufacture of wine, which supplied the town and exports on a large scale.</p><br>
<p>The climate of the island is subtropical or temperate (Cfa), with warm summers, cool winters and rainfall well distributed throughout the year. The summers’ average registers approximately 22 °C (71.6 °F), and the winters register average of 13 °C (55.4 °F). The average annual temperature is 17.6 °C (63.6 °F) and the average precipitation is 1,200 mm (47.24 in) annually.</p><br>
<p>Rancho Guajome was a 2,219 acre Mexican land grant in present day San Diego County, California given in 1845 by Governor Pío Pico to Andrés and José Manuel, Indians. The name comes from a Luiseño phrase involving the word "frog", likely wakhavumi "frog pond"</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Formerly a part of Mission San Luis Rey lands, the half square league grant was made to Andrés and José Manuel, two mission Indians.</p><br>
<p>The brothers sold the land to Abel Stearns. Stearns held onto the land for a few years before giving it to his sister-in-law, Ysidora Bandini, as a wedding gift when she married Lieutenant Cave Johnson Couts in 1851. Stearns was married to Ysidora Bandini&#39;s sister Arcadia.</p><br>
<p>Cave Johnson Couts (pron. "cow-ts", 1821–1874), was a native of Tennessee and was a nephew of Cave Johnson. Couts graduated from West Point in 1843 and came to California in 1849 as a U.S Army lieutenant in the forces occupying California following the Mexican–American War. Couts left the Army, and settled in the San Diego area. In 1849 he was commissioned to survey and map the pueblo lands of San Diego. He married Ysidora Bandini, the daughter of Juan Bandini in 1851. Couts began buying property and developing political influence in the area. Couts also owned Rancho Buena Vista and Rancho Vallecitos de San Marcos. Having been appointed sub-agent for the San Luis Rey Indians in 1853, Couts employed Indian labor to improve the properties.</p><br>
<p>With the cession of California to the United States following the Mexican-American War, the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo provided that the land grants would be honored. As required by the Land Act of 1851, a claim for Rancho Guajome was filed with the Public Land Commission in 1852, and the grant was patented to Andres Solme and Catarina in 1871.</p><br>
<p>By the time the Couts family settled on Rancho Guajome in 1853, Cave was prospering by supplying beef and leather to the Bay Area during the gold rush era. After Couts&#39;s death in 1874, the Rancho was managed by his son, Cave Couts, Jr. (1856–1943).</p><br>
<h2>Historic sites of the Rancho</h2><br>

<p>Lake Lenthall is a lake created by the Lenthalls Dam in Duckinwilla, Fraser Coast Region, Queensland, Australia. It was named after the pioneering family in the district. It was constructed in 1984 on the head waters of the Burrum River which also includes the Isis River, Cherwell River & Gregory Rivers in its 935 square kilometre catchment. As a result of a huge catchment it takes a short time in moderate rain events to fill Lake Lenthall to 100% capacity.</p><br>
<p>The lake has a relatively small surface area of 766 ha, an average depth of 4 to 5 m. Its main purpose is for town water supply for Hervey Bay and surrounding townships within the Fraser Coast Regional Council area.</p><br>
<h2>Fish stock</h2><br>
<p>It is stocked with Australian native fish such as barramundi, bass, golden perch and silver perch under the Queensland Governments stocked impoundment permit scheme. Other aquatic species which inhabit the lake include spangled grunter, saratoga, Krefft&#39;s turtle, Flinders Ranges mogurnda, rainbow fish, fire tail gudgeon, long finned eel and many more. The lake is home to a myriad of reptiles, insects, bird life and mammals. A significant population of black-breasted buttonquails reside within the dry vine rain forests found on the ridges overlooking Lake Lenthall.</p><br>
<h3>Angling</h3><br>
<p>A Stocked Impoundment Permit is required to fish in the dam.</p><br>
<p>Vohilaid  is a small Estonian island in the Baltic Sea. It is approximately 416 hectares and the highest point is approximately ten feet above sea level. Its coordinates are</p><br>
<p>Vohilaid lies just east of the island of Hiiumaa and belongs to the administrative municipality of Pühalepa Parish. The 300m distance of sea between Hiiumaa and Vohilaid is consistently only 40 cm deep (sometimes even completely dry), so that the traffic between the islands is possible.</p><br>
<p>Vohilaid was first mentioned in chronicles in 1586. The island was inhabited until World War II but today is only used as grazing land. There are some ruins of houses on the island.</p><br>
<p>To the north of Vohilaid are other small islands: Hellamaa, Uuemererahu, Ramsi and Kadakalaid. 1.5 km to the southeast of Vohilaid lies the small island of Hõralaid.</p><br>
<p>St. Marys Episcopal Church, also known as St. Marys, Foggy Bottom or St. Marys Chapel, is a historic Episcopal church located at 730 23rd Street, N.W. in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood of Washington, D.C. On April 2, 1973, St. Marys Episcopal Church was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Saint Mary’s was founded in 1867 by former members of The Church of the Epiphany, located in Downtown, Washington, D.C. St. Marys was the citys first African American Episcopal congregation. The congregation originally met in a Civil War barracks building known as St. Mary&#39;s Chapel for Colored People with the first Morning Prayer service held on June 9, 1867.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Designed by architects Renwick, Aspinwall & Russell in 1887, the building is an example of Gothic Revival architecture. Decorative features include a timber roof and Tiffany glass windows.</p><br>
<p>St. Marks Episcopal Church, also known as St. Marks, Capitol Hill, is a historic Episcopal church located at 3rd and A Streets, Southeast in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Built 1888&ndash;1894, the church is an example of Gothic Revival and Romanesque Revival architectures.</p><br>
<p>The red brick structure has a modified basilica floorplan with no apse. The interior features cast iron columns and hammerbeam trusses.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>St. Marks began as a mission of Christ Church in 1867. In 1868, the mission organized its own congregation and built its first permanent structure on Beale Terrace between 2nd and 3rd Streets, a site now occupied by the John Adams Building of the Library of Congress. In 1869, it became St. Marks Memorial Parish and in 1870, St. Mark&#39;s Parish.</p><br>
<p>In 1880, the congregation acquired the land where the present church stands and began raising funds for construction. The cornerstone was laid September 17, 1888 and the first services were held February 23, 1889. Initially, the new building was connected to the existing chapel which then was used as a parish hall. The old structure was demolished in 1894 allowing the nave to be extended and the chancel, high altar and spire to be added.</p><br>
<p>When the Diocese of Washington was created from the Diocese of Maryland in 1895, St. Mark&#39;s was chosen as the first cathedral in 1896 and served in this capacity until 1902. The Munich stained glass windows were installed between 1888 and 1947 and include a Tiffany window in the baptistry created in 1888.</p><br>
<p>In the 1940s and 1950s, church membership declined as residents moved from the area to the expanding suburbs. A group of dedicated members set out to revitalize the congregation in 1954 and began programs to relate to new residents of the neighborhood. Among the new programs was a ministry to the deaf.</p><br>
<p>In 1965, the church underwent a major renovation with movable chairs replacing the pews allowing the nave to be used for events other than worship services.</p><br>
<p>On May 8, 1973, St. Mark&#39;s Church was added to the National Register of Historic Places. It is a contributing property to the Capitol Hill Historic District.</p><br>
<p>Today, the church sponsors a number of education programs, community groups, concerts and markets its own craft beer known as Winged Lion Lager. The beer is an outgrowth of its popular weekly pub lunch after Sunday services.</p><br>
<p>Lake Worth is located on the West Fork of the Trinity River. It is entirely inside the city limits of Fort Worth, Texas, United States.</p><br>
<h2>History and development</h2><br>
<p>Lake Worth was built in 1914 as a reservoir and for recreation. The property is owned by the City of Fort Worth, while the Tarrant Regional Water District controls the reservoir&#39;s water rights. The lake has a moderate fluctuation with stained clarity. Submerged vegetation is sparse. There are shallow flats covered with cattails and other emergent species.</p><br>
<p>When first impounded, Lake Worth provided boating and recreation that drew people from throughout the North Texas area. Over time, the lake became more neglected, but the expansion of Fort Worth has recently brought the lake and its parks new popularity.</p><br>
<p>Since the early 1960s, many calls were made for dredging the lake and restoring its recreational potential, but city leaders were either unwilling or unable to fund the expensive proposition. This funding problem ended in the mid-2000s, when it became technologically feasible to access natural gas of the Barnett Shale, which partially lies underneath the lake.</p><br>
<p>A movement of Fort Worth citizens has pushed for retaining a portion of that gas revenue windfall for renovating and developing its public recreational potential. This movement proposes to make improvements such as dredging the lake, setting aside 400 acre of additional city-owned land as green space, building trails and other recreational infrastructure, and integrating the overall area into a "world-class" park such as New Yorks Central Park (the city currently operates a 3,000 acre park on the lakes northern end as the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge). A capital improvement plan and vision plan have been developed to address development of Lake Worth and surrounding property.</p><br>
<h2>Mythology</h2><br>
<p>Lake Worth is considered the site of one of the best documented cryptozoology sightings. In July 1969, a large creature was cited by numerous people over several days. The creature was described as part goat, part fish, part man. The locals refer to the animal as the "Lake Worth monster" or the "Lake Worth Goatman".</p><br>
<p>The ancient town of La Hoya  is a most important archaeological site of the Bronze and Iron Ages of the Basque Country and nearby areas of Spain.</p><br>
<p>The fortified town was inhabited between the 15th and 3rd centuries BCE and occupies four hectares. It has three levels:</p><br>
<p>Middle-Late Bronze Age: in this early period, the fortifications, as well the houses, were all made of wood.</p><br>
<p>Early-Middle Iron Age: construction became more complex using mixed formulas with stone, wood and adobe. Most houses were near the wall in this period.</p><br>
<p>Late Iron Age, with a cultural context that some classify as Celtiberian, shows important changes in urbanization: with paved streets and plazas that form a reticular structure. The wall is also rebuilt on stone. This final period also shows great advancement in the technologies: potter&#39;s wheel, elaborated blacksmitting, etc.</p><br>
<p>The successive layers of rubble, that served as cimentations for further edification, make up a small tell 3 meters high.</p><br>
<p>The town was destroyed violently c. 300 BCE, leaving the remains of the people and their quotidain tools in the streets.</p><br>

<p>Camillus Union Free School is a building built in 1912 and 1913 in the Village of Camillus, New York. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The original two-story school building has a U-shaped plan. It was designed by architect Eugene Sacket of Syracuse and was constructed in 1912 and 1913. A gymnasium was added in 1928 and an elementary-school wing was added in made in 1965. The original building was largely intact as of 1991, except for the loss of a cupola that was removed after a 1951 fire. The National Register listing includes the original building and the 1928 addition. The school was deemed architecturally significant as an example of a "small village school" built in the early decades of the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>It is located at First and LeRoy Streets, across a field from Nine Mile Creek. Downstream is the Nine Mile Creek Aqueduct, another Registered Historic Place.</p><br>
<p>Murray Lake is a naturally formed lake about 9 miles away from the town of Lowell, Michigan. Murray Lake is the third largest lake in Kent County, lying in the northeast corner of the county. The lake north of 4 Mile Road is in Grattan Township. South of 4 Mile is Vergennes Township.</p><br>
<h2>Lake Description</h2><br>
<p>The lake used to have an island until a landbridge (now called Causeway Drive) was built in the 1950s. A man by the name of John Murray farmed around the lake. The lake is named in his honor.</p><br>
<p>The lake is a popular fishing and recreational destination. There are two boat launches on Causeway Drive.</p><br>
<p>Fishing is good year round with healthy populations of Largemouth Bass, Yellow Perch, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, Cisco, Northern Pike, Bowfin, and Muskellunge.</p><br>
<p>The Murray Lake Association was created after murray sold the land and they were in charge to keep the lakes ecosystem from collapsing. The association sponsors events such as the annual chili cook-off, 4th of July boat parade and Christmas decorating contest. Murray Lake elementary was opened in 2004 just 1/2 mile from the lake.</p><br>
<p>All Saints Episcopal Church is an historic Carpenter Gothic Episcopal church located at Hall and Harrison streets, in DeQuincy, Louisiana in the United States. On September 20, 1983, All Saints was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The church was built in 1885 for Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Patterson, which is over 160 miles east of DeQuincy. Holy Trinity closed when its membership dwindled and it stood unused for several years.

<p>The Arden Park–East Boston Historic District is a neighborhood in the City of Detroit, Michigan, bounded on the west by Woodward Avenue, on the north by East Boston Boulevard, on the east by Oakland Avenue, and on the south by Arden Park Boulevard. The area is immediately adjacent to the larger Boston-Edison Historic District, on the opposite side of Woodward Avenue, and is in close proximity to Atkinson Avenue. There are 92 homes in the district, all on East Boston and Arden Park Boulevards. Arden Park Boulevard and East Boston Boulevard feature prominent grassy medians with richly planted trees and flowers. The setbacks of the homes are deep, with oversized lots. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The neighborhood was originally platted in 1892 by Joseph R. McLaughlin and Edmund J. Owen along two streets east of Woodward: specifically, East Boston Boulevard and East Chicago Boulevard. and given the name "McLaughlin and Owens Subdivision." The lots were spacious to attract the citys wealthier residents. The subdivision was sold twice before being purchased by Max Broock, a prominent real estate developer, in 1910. At Broock&#39;s urging, the name of "East Chicago" was changed to "Arden Park," giving the thoroughfare its present name.</p><br>
<p>Although the neighborhood was first platted in 1892, most of the homes built in the community date to the first two decades of the Twentieth Century. This time period coincided with an economic boom in Detroit, and many newly minted millionaires hired architects to design prestigious dwellings in the neighborhood. Architectural styles represented in Arden Park–East Boston include Italian Renaissance, Colonial Revival, Tudor, Bungalow style and Prairie Style.</p><br>
<p>Some of the neighborhood&#39;s first residents included automotive icons Frederick Fisher and John Dodge, retail pioneer J.L. Hudson, Clayton and Albert Grinnell. Another retail magnate, Stanley Kresge, Jr. of K-Mart fame, resided in the community. The home of Frederick Fisher, on Arden Park Boulevard, was built in 1918 in the Italian Villa style to the plan of architect George D. Mason. The residence—which comprises nearly 12,000 ft&sup2;—is built entirely of Indiana limestone and features elaborate stone-carvings and ironwork.</p><br>
<p>211 Arden Park was built in 1914 by Hans Gehrke for a renowned jeweler of the time Robert C.J. Traub (until 1911, the Traub Bros. & Co. jewelry store was located where Foran&#39;s Grand Trunk Pub is now located in downtown Detroit. The store later moved to the corner of Woodward Avenue and Grand River). The Traub house was featured on the cover of the "House Beautiful" magazine in 1914, as well as every page of that issue featured interiors of the house. This source provided an opportunity for maintaining architecture and interior design of the house in its original state.</p><br>
<p>The neighborhoods most prominent landmark is the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Next door to the cathedral, is the personal residence of Detroits Roman Catholic Archbishop.</p><br>
<p>In the 1940s, notable residents included Dr. Dewitt Burton, founder of the Burton Mercy Hospital; Charles Diggs, Sr. first black elected to the Michigan State Senate (father of Charles Diggs, Jr.), and Dr. Haley Bell, dentist, and the first black to receive an FCC license to operate a radio station (WCHB).</p><br>
<p>Today, the city neighborhood is home largely to professionals, many of whom work in downtown Detroit. The neighborhood is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the State of Michigan Register of Historic Sites, and is a City of Detroit Designated Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>Schools</h2><br>
<p>Residents are zoned to schools in the Detroit Public Schools district. Residents are assigned to Loving Elementary School, Golightly Education Center (6-8), and Central High School.</p><br>
<p>Nine Mile Creek Aqueduct is a restored stone and wood aqueduct of the Erie Canal over Nine Mile Creek in Camillus, New York. It was built in 1841 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The towpath part of the structure has four arches of 30 ft each. The structure was built of stone joined by a marine cement that was relatively new at the time, but which has endured well.</p><br>
<p>The aqueduct is within the Camillus Erie Canal Park. Restoration work began in 2008 on the wooden bottom and sides of the aqueduct, enabling it to carry water again, and enabling reconnection of the two one-mile (1.6 km) segments of the Erie Canal on either side.</p><br>
<p>In August 2009, boats traversed the restored aqueduct for the first time since 1917.</p><br>
<p>It is located off Thompson Road in Camillus, about 1 mi east from Sim&#39;s Store. It is a few hundred yards walking distance from a small parking area on Thompson Road.</p><br>
<p>Mount Tenpō located in Minato-ku, Osaka is commonly recognized as Japans lowest mountain. The definition of a "mountain" used here is any elevation described as a mountain on a topographic map published by the Geographical Survey Institute of Japan, though it is disputed that the mountain lacks credibility because it is not a natural part of the landscape. The mountains "peak" is 4.53 meters above sea level, and will bear more resemblance to a hill than a mountain to the casual observer. A small port is located nearby, and much of the mountain&#39;s surface has been converted into a park.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Mount Tenpō was formed in 1831 (Tenpō year 2) as the deposit for earth dug up from dredging the Ajigawa river to allow easier access to Osaka for large ships and to prevent floods. The mountain had an elevation of about 20 meters at the time, and served as a marker for ships entering the Ajigawa river to head to the city of Osaka. Cherry blossom and pine trees were planted on the mountain as people began to set up shops in the area, and the mountain gradually became the visitor attraction that it is now. Images of children playing in this area were sketched in ukiyo-e by Utagawa Hiroshige and other artists.</p><br>
<p>Part of the mountain was leveled to set up an artillery unit to protect the river pass after the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate. As industrialization progressed in the Taishō and Shōwa periods, overuse of groundwater resulted in subsidence, lowering the mountains elevation even further. This caused the mountains name to be erased from topographic maps until it was reinstated due to fierce protests from local residents.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The mountain is located about 400 meters north of the Ōsakakō Station stop of the Chūō Line.</p><br>
<h3>Mount Tenpō Park</h3><br>
<p>The mountain&#39;s surface is currently known as Mount Tenpō Park. Surrounded by a large levee, the park itself contains large hills (the deposits for earth dug up in constructing underground train tunnels) which have much higher elevations than the actual "peak" of the mountain.</p><br>
<p>A stone memorial of the Meiji Emperors first sea-borne military parade in 1876 is located next to the triangular peak of the mountain. The parks clock-tower was originally a prop for a television show produced by the Kansai Telecasting Corporation, but was later donated to the prefecture. The park contains several art depicting the area during the Edo period.</p><br>
<h3>Surrounding area</h3><br>
<p>The mountain is located near several leisure and amusement facilities, including the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan and the Suntory Museum. It is also a short ferry ride away from Universal Studios Japan on Sakurajima via the Tempozan Ferry Terminal. The Hanshin Expressway also has an exit named after Mount Tenpō.</p><br>
<h2>Mount Tenpō expedition society</h2><br>
<p>This society is based in a local cafe called Yamagoya(hut for mountaineers), and records proof of ascent on Mount Tenpō. Placing a memo listing the hikers name, address, and date of ascent in the cafes mailbox along with a 100 yen coin will inform the society of a new successful ascent, and a certificate will be mailed to the hiker&#39;s address.</p><br>
<p>Nueltin Lake  straddles the Manitoba-Nunavut border in Canada. The lake, which has an area of 2,279 km&sup2, is predominantly in Nunavut&#39;s Kivalliq Region, and on the Manitoba side there is the Nueltin Lake Airport which serves the fishing lodge. The lake is split into two parts by a set of narrows.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Ilya Andreyevich Tolstoy, the grandson of count Leo Tolstoy, stayed at the Revillon Frères Post of Windy Lake by Nueltin Lake in the winter of 1928-1929. He was in a group attempting to get film footage of the migrating caribou for the William Douglas Burden and William C. Chanler’s production, The Silent Enemy, one of the last and greatest of the silent films, released in 1930.</p><br>
<p>The American naturalist, Francis Harper (biologist) with funding from the United States National Science Foundation, undertook a study of the barren-ground caribou in 1947 in the Nueltin Lake area with research assistants, including Farley Mowat, resulting in the publication of Harper&#39;s book entitled Caribou of Keewatin. Inuit artist Luke Anowtalik, who was fifteen at the time, was featured in this publication.</p><br>
<p>In 1949, the Government of Canada relocated an Inuit group, the Ihalmiut, to Nueltin from Ennadai Lake but the hunting was poor and they did not stay in the Nueltin area.</p><br>
<p>The Myjava River is a river in western Slovakia and for a small part in the Czech Republic and left tributary of the Morava River.</p><br>
<p>It rises in the White Carpathians near the village of Nová Lhota in Moravia, but crosses the Czech-Slovak border shortly afterwards and flows in a southern direction until the town of Myjava, where it enters the Myjava Hills and turns west. Near Sobotište it flows into the Záhorie Lowland and turns south until the village of Jablonica, turning northwest and from Senica it flows west, passing through Šaštín-Stráže and finally flowing into the Morava River near Kúty.</p><br>
<h2>Etymology</h2><br>
<p>The stem myj- comes from Proto-Slavic *myjǫ (mytie, podmývanie) – to wash, to undermine river banks.</p><br>
<p>Christ Church is a historic church located at Melendy Hill Road and US Route 5 in Guilford, Vermont. Built in 1817 and later given Gothic Revival styling, it was the first Episcopal Church in Vermont. On May 13, 1982, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Christ Church is set on a rise just south of Guilfords village center, overlooking Broad Brook and the junction of Melendy Hill Road and United States Route 5. It is a single-story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof, clapboard siding, and a brick foundation. Its front facade is dominated by a projecting square tower, which rises 60 ft in two stages. The tall lower stage has the main entrance, which is framed by pilasters and topped by a semi-oval fanlight window, at the base, and windows topped by half-round fans above, and is topped by a cornice and parapet with pinnacles at the corners. The smaller second stage houses the belfry, with rounded louver openings on each face, and is crowned by a similar parapet and pinnacles. The parapet and pinnacle detail is repeated across the rest of the main facades cornice line.</p><br>
<p>The church was built in 1817 with local materials, and was originally a copy of an Episcopal church located in Greenfield, Massachusetts, which is no longer standing. The bronze bell was installed in 1830. In 1837 the building was given the overlay of Gothic Revival details it exhibits today. At that time the original raised pulpit was lowered to the dais, for which for of the original box pews were removed.</p><br>
<p>The church congregation was first part of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts until the Episcopal Diocese of Vermont was created in 1832. It suffered a steady decline in size, reflecting that of the town itself. Christ Church ceased to be an active parish of the Episcopal Diocese of Vermont before the 1900s, but has never been deconsecrated and is still used occasionally for Episcopal church services. It has been restored and is now maintained by the Christ Church Guilford Society which uses it primarily as a venue for musical and other cultural events as well as weddings and civil unions.</p><br>
<p>The pianist Rudolf Serkin is buried in the church cemetery, as is Union Army general John Wolcott Phelps.</p><br>
<p>Stob Choire Claurigh  is a Scottish mountain situated 16 km east of Fort William in the Lochaber district of the Highland council area. It is part of one of the best ridge walks on the Scottish mainland.</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>Stob Choire Claurigh stands in the Grey Corries, a group of mountains strung out along an eight km long ridge which never falls below the 800 metre (2,600 ft) contour and includes twelve summits, four of which reach Munro status. Stob Choire Claurigh is the highest of the Grey Corries reaching a height of 1,177 metres (3,862 ft). The upper part of the mountain and the main section of the ridge is composed of pale grey quartzite rocks and scree making an eye-catching sight which is well seen from the villages of Spean Bridge and Roybridge and the A86 road which runs between them. The mountains name translates from the Gaelic language as “Peak of the Brawling Corrie”, taken from the verb clamhras which means clamouring or brawling. The name refers to the roaring of the many stags, which inhabit the corries of the mountain in the breeding season.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Stob Choire Claurigh is a substantial mountain which includes four subsidiary tops (three of which are listed in the 1997 edition of Munro&#39;s Tables), four high corries and long, forested, northern slopes which descend to the valley of the River Spean. Three main ridges radiate from the summit. The northern ridge descends for two km to the “Munro Top” of Stob Coire Gaibhre (958 metres) continuing for a further two km to the Forestry Commission owned Leanachan Forest where it broadens into the Spean valley. Four hundred metres from the summit on the northern ridge is the North Top (1121 metres), at this point a spur goes east to the subsidiary summit of Stob Coire na Ceannain (1123 metres), offering easy scrambling. This eastern spur can be used as a means of ascent up rough, stony slopes from the Lairig Leachach pass.</p><br>
<p>The two other ridges link to adjacent Munros, with the south ridge connecting to Stob Ban, 1.5 km distant, over a col with a height of 803 metres. The twisting, high level SW ridge continues for three km over the “Munro Top” of Stob a’ Choire Lèith (1105 metres) to link to the Munro of Stob Coire an Laoigh. The four principal corries on the mountain are steep walled, holding snow well into the spring with streams which rise at around the 1000 metre mark, they drain in various directions but all eventually feed the River Spean, reaching the west coast at Loch Linnhe.</p><br>
<h2>Ascents and view</h2><br>
<p>The most popular starting point for the direct ascent of Stob Choire Claurigh is Corriechoille farm (grid reference ) at the end of the minor road from Spean Bridge. The route follows the Lairig Leacach track through a short section of the Leanachan Forest, the track is left immediately after the forest and steep slopes are climbed on the right hand side to reach the north east ridge. The ridge is followed over Stob Coire Gaibhre and along the rim of Coire na Ceannain which gives airy views down to its circular lochan, to reach the summit which is marked by a pile of quartzite boulders. There is a fine view from the top, especially to the SW where there is a fine outlook of the switchbacks and tops of the Grey Corries ridge backed by Aonach Beag and Ben Nevis. Many walkers will continue SW along the Grey Corries ridge descending eventually by the north ridge of Stob Coire an Laoigh down to the forest and eventually Corriechoille.</p><br>
<p>Wilderhope Manor is a 16th-century manor house in the care of the National Trust. It is located on Wenlock Edge 7 mi south west of Much Wenlock in Shropshire, England. The manor is a Grade I listed building and since the mid 20th century has been used as a youth hostel.</p><br>
<h2>History and amenities</h2><br>
<p>Wilderhope Manor is an Elizabethan period manor house, built of local limestone and dating from 1585 when England was enjoying a period of prosperity and stability. The house was built for Francis Smallman and his initials can be seen on the ceilings. The manor remained in the family until 1734 when the estate including the neighbouring Wilderhope farm was sold. It is believed that the manor house was not used as a residence after the sale in 1734 and by 1936 was in a poor state and uninhabited. In 1936 the property was purchased by the WA Cadbury Trust who donated it to the National Trust on condition that it was used as youth hostel. Opening as a youth hostel in 1937, it has remained in use by the Youth Hostels Association since.</p><br>
<p>Despite years of disuse many of the original features such as the oaken stairways, oak spiral stairs and plaster ceilings survived. The adjoining stable block is itself a Grade II listed building.</p><br>
<p>The surrounding manor of Wilderhope is also managed by the National Trust and comprises wooded valleys, pasture, flower rich meadows and ancient hedgerows dating back centuries along unchanged field boundaries. Evidence of medieval ridge and furrow ploughing can still be seen in fields below Wilderhope Coppice.</p><br>
<h2>Major's Leap</h2><br>
<p>The Manor&#39;s owner during the English Civil War was Major Thomas Smallman. He was a Royalist who was forced to flee from Cromwell’s approaching troops. After managing to escape on horseback, Major Smallman took a do-or-die plunge down a steep slope at Wenlock Edge. His horse was killed but Smallman survived thanks to an apple tree breaking his fall. Since then the ghosts of Smallman and his horse are said to appear in an area now known as Major’s Leap and have been said to have been seen at the manor.</p><br>
<p>Garrett House, also known as the Garrett Residence, in Syracuse, New York, was built in 1913. Along with other Ward Wellington Ward-designed homes, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>It is listed for its architecture. The most distinctive feature on the outside of the house was that its roof was made to look like an English Cottage thatched roof. As can be seen in the photos taken in January, 2009, the roof has been covered with modern asphalt shingles and the house sported a "For Sale by Owner" sign. The Mercer fireplace in the first floor living room, customary in Ward Wellington Ward houses, is an exceptionally impressive one depicting St. George and the Dragon.</p><br>
<p>In January 2011, the Garrett House was purchased by a private buyer and is currently in the beginning stages of being restored</p><br>
<p>The Sanderson House at 112 Scottholm Terrace, also known as Sanderson Residence, was built in 1916. Along with other Ward Wellington Ward-designed homes, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>It was built in 1916 for Amon F. Sanderson, an officer of the Scottholm Company which developed the Scottholm Tract in 1911. Sanderson also commissioned Sanderson House at 301 Scottholm Boulevard.</p><br>
<p>It was listed for its architecture. The house exemplifies Ward&#39;s Arts and Crafts style and also Prairie Style. It is one of five nearly identical homes in Syracuse designed by Ward. The others are at 464 Allen Street, 100 Berkeley Drive, 1917 West Colvin Street, and 116 Rugby Road. It is located in the Scottholm Tract Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The former St. Bartholomews Episcopal Church is a historic church building located on Vermont Route 118 in Montgomery, Vermont in the United States. Its congregation was formed in 1821 as Union Episcopal Church and church construction began in 1833 and was completed in 1835, when it was consecrated by the Rt. Rev. John Henry Hopkins, first bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Vermont. In 1897 its name was changed to St. Bartholomews Episcopal Church. Since being deconsecrated in 1974 it has been owned by the Montgomery Historical Society and is now known as Pratt Hall. On October 1, 1988, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The building is a prominent early example of Gothic Revival architecture in the state.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Pratt Hall stsands in the village of Montgomery, just southwest of its triangular common on the northwest side of Vermont 118. It is a single-story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof, clapboarded exterior, and square tower. The tower projects from the otherwise unadorned front facade, with a Gothic-arched entrance at the base, with narrow lancet-arch windows on the sides, and an oculus window above the entrance. The second stage houses the belfry, and is separated from the clock stage by a cornice. The tower is topped by a crenellated parapet. The interior contains elaborate woodwork in the Gothic style.</p><br>
<p>Montgomerys Episcopal congregation was one of the first in the town, and this was its first church building, erected 1832-35 on land purchased in 1829. The church is one of Vermonts oldest examples of Gothic Revival architecture, its construction begun not long after completion of its first documented example in Arlington. Originally a union church (shared by multiple congregations), it soon became home solely to the Episcopalians. Its congregation in decline, services were reduced to summer-only in 1927.</p><br>
<p>In 1972 the diocese decided that the building was no longer safe for use and was going to demolish it. The Montgomery Historical Society, however, was able to buy it in 1974 and has restored and maintained it since then. In addition to using Pratt Hall for its own meetings, the society makes it available for others to use as a venue for weddings, small concerts, talks, or other gatherings. The society named the building in honor of its founder, Lawrence Pratt, who was the driving force in the building&#39;s rescue from destruction.</p><br>
<p>Union Episcopal Church, also known as the English Church, is a historic church located on Old Church Road in Claremont, New Hampshire, in the United States. Built in 1773 it is the oldest surviving Episcopal church building in New Hampshire and is also the state&#39;s oldest surviving building built exclusively for religious purposes. It is still an active parish in the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire. On February 1, 1980, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Early history</h2><br>
<p>The parish was organized in 1771 and chartered by the New Hampshire legislature in 1794 as Union Church Parish. At that time local Episcopalians and Congregationalists were considering uniting to hire one minister to serve both groups, but this never happened. The next year the Rev. Daniel Barber, who had once been a Congregational minister, became Unions rector. His son, the Rev. Virgil Barber, also became an Episcopal priest, but left the church in 1816 to become a Jesuit priest and to later found St. Marys Parish in Claremont, the first Roman Catholic church in New Hampshire.</p><br>
<p>When the church was built, it did not originally have a tower, and was a relatively modest structure despite its massive roof framing timbers. The tower was added in 1801, and the building was lengthened by some 25 ft in 1820, at which time a pulpit and reading desk were added. These interior additions were removed in 1850 and replaced by the present altar configuration. The property also includes a relatively rare set of period horse sheds.</p><br>
<p>Bisham Woods are a series of woods between Bisham Abbey and Cookham Dean in Berkshire. They include an 83.7 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest, notified in 1970, with a claim to be "the richest ancient woods in Berkshire". It is also a Local Nature Reserve.</p><br>
<p>The woods have been owned and managed by the Woodland Trust since 1990, and consists of several sections, covering a total of 153.2 hectare. The northern part is the ancient woodland SSSI, with compartments known as Quarry Wood, Fultness Wood, High Wood and Inkydown Wood. With the River Thames just to the north, and views across the Chiltern Hills, they include beechwoods, with rare woodland orchids. The remaining compartments, including Park Wood, High Wood, and Goulding&#39;s Wood, Carpenters Wood and Dungrovehill Wood are areas of 19th and 20th century planting noted for bluebells. These are nearer Maidenhead, near the A308 and A404. The woods are open to the public, and are well served with paths and bridleways, with parking nearby.</p><br>
<p>Quarry Wood is the site of Bisham Quarry, an important medieval source of stone, much of which was used to build Windsor Castle. From medieval times the woods were part of the extensive Bisham Estates of the Earls of Salisbury. An ice house, built in the 1760s to provide ice for Bisham Abbey is within the woods, and opened to the public four times a year. The Woods are said to have been the original Wild Wood in Kenneth Grahame&#39;s Wind in the Willows, which he wrote in the nearby village of Cookham Dean. Percy Bysshe Shelley composed The Revolt of Islam in the area of Bisham Woods in 1817 when he was living at Marlow.</p><br>
<p>A memorial in Carpenters Wood commemorates the crash site of a Halifax Bomber from the Royal Air Force 578 Squadron, on 18 July 1944. The memorial was dedicated on 18 July 1998.</p><br>
<p>The New Harmony Historic District in New Harmony, Indiana, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966, with a boundary increase in 2000. The district includes properties within the Historic New Harmony State Historic Site. Twelve buildings from the early 19th century and twenty from the mid-19th century are within the district. The original boundary was Main Street between Granary and Church Streets and was later increased to include the area bounded by North and Steam Mill Streets and between Third and Arthur Streets.</p><br>
<p>The district was nominated for the National Register under the themes of social and humanitarian movement, with areas of significance including architecture, social history, and science. Its period of significance, 1814 to 1867, covers the Rappite/Harmonist and Owenite eras in New Harmony’s history. Individuals and groups who have made significant contributions to the town&#39;s utopian communities and have ties to the structures within the district include the Harmony Society, George Rapp, Robert Owen, Robert Dale Owen, David Dale Owen, Thomas Say, Charles-Alexandre Lesueur, George Maclure, Joseph Neef, and Marie Duclos Fretageot, among others.</p><br>
<h2>District history</h2><br>
<p>The State of Indiana created the first New Harmony Memorial Commission in 1937 to help preserve and protect the community’s history. Following the restoration of several historic properties, the state interpreted the site as the New Harmony State Memorial, which was later renamed the New Harmony State Historic Site. In 1965 a study completed by the National Survey of Historic Sites and Buildings identified New Harmony as a place of national significance. That same year, New Harmony was designated a National Historic Landmark district by the USA Department of the Interior.</p><br>
<p>A second New Harmony Memorial Commission, established in 1973, assisted with further preservation and development efforts. Between 1974 and 1980, Historic New Harmony, Inc., a private, nonprofit organization with grant funding from The Lilly Endowment, Inc., acquired and restored additional properties of historical significance. In 1977 National Park Service historian Joseph Mendinghall prepared a nomination for 19 properties with ties to the Harmonist/Owenite era, 1814 to 1867. These properties, spread throughout the community, were listed in the National Register of Historic Places on November 12, 1977; however, additional resources, including the original grid plan of the town and the site of the original Harmonist churches were not included in the nomination.</p><br>
<p>In 1985 the University of Southern Indiana partnered with Historic New Harmony to preserve and maintain the town’s historic structures and to offer educational and cultural programs. In 1991 Historic New Harmony combined its resources with the state-owned New Harmony State Historic Site to establish a “unified program” of the University of Southern Indiana and the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites. The state’s New Harmony Memorial Commission oversees the efforts of the two groups.</p><br>
<p>A National Register of Historic Places nomination with an expanded boundary for the New Harmony Historic District was published on May 3, 2000. The boundary increase included resources dating from 1825 to 1867, the period when New Harmony was purchased by Robert Owen until the Owenite influence on the town waned after the American Civil War. As of May 2012, the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites operates and preserves several properties within the New Harmony Historic District: Community House Number 2, Thrall’s Opera House, Fauntleroy House, Harmonist Cemetery, Harmonist Labyrinth, and Mattias Scholle House. Other sites within the district include Philip Johnsons Roofless Church; New Harmonys Atheneum, an award-winning contemporary design by Richard Meier, completed in 1979, that serves as the visitors center for touring the historic district; and Maple Hill Cemetery.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings and sites</h2><br>
<p>Twenty-five buildings and eight sites within the district were built by the Harmony Society between 1814 and 1824. Homes that are listed separately on the National Register include: Amon Clarence Thomas House, Mattias Scholle House, Ludwig Epple House, and George Bentel House. The National Historic Landmark nomination for the district&#39;s boundary increase identified 59 contributing and 99 noncontributing structures. The expanded district includes sixteen properties already designated as National Historic Landmarks, resources from previous NHL designations, and additional buildings, sites, and structures from the Rappite/Harmonist and Owenite communities.</p><br>
<p>The district includes reconstructed log cabins, a potter’s shop, and barns representative of early Harmonist structures. The sites of early Harmonist churches, the Harmonist cemetery, and a cemetery wall built from brick used in the second Harmonist church are also part of the historic district. The cemetery, in keeping with Harmonist tradition of equality among all its members, has no gravestones within the cemetery wall. Native American mounds from the Middle Woodland Period more than two thousand years old are also found on the cemetery grounds. Church Park includes the sites of the first (1815 to 1822) and second (1822) Harmonist churches.</p><br>
<p>Other notable Harmonist sites and structures include the Rope Walk, part of the original 1,100-foot walk used to stretch, dry, and twist hemp into rope and the Harmonist Labyrinth, replanted and rebuilt in 1939 near its original site. Community House Number 2, a three-story, brick dormitory for single Harmonist members built in 1822, was later used by the Owenites for community activities, including a school. Thrall’s Opera House/Community House Number 4, built in 1824, is a two-story Harmonist brick community house with Romanesque Revival alterations. Originally a Harmonist dormitory, the Owenites used it as a family dwelling, warehouse, and a place for public events. Renamed Union Hall in 1859, the building was used as a theater for a local acting company. After Eugene Thrall became its sole owner in 1888, the building was renamed Thrall’s Opera House. In the early 20th century it was used as a nickelodeon movie house and later a gas station/garage before it was restored as a Victorian-era theater. The restored Rapp-Owen Granary, a five-story, brick, sandstone, and wood structure completed in 1818, is “the largest granary of its type built by German craftsmen in the United States” and “served as David Dale Owen’s laboratory from 1843 to 1859.” (Owen was appointed Indiana&#39;s first state geologist in 1837.) Operated as a wool mill and a cornmeal mill, the structure was reconverted to a granary and placed on the National Register in 1965. After a two-year restoration from 1997 to 1999, the granary serves as a museum and meeting facility.</p><br>
<p>The Harmonists also built timber-frame dwellings for its members. The David Lenz House, circa 1822, is a timber frame, two-story residence typical of the Harmonist period. Other Harmonist homes individually listed on the National Register include the Mattias Scholle House, a two-story, brick home of the town’s shoemaker built in 1822; the Ludwig Epple House, a two-story frame home built in 1822; and the George Bentel House, another two-story example of brick construction, circa 1822. The Fauntleroy house, an 1822 two-story, frame Harmonist home modified in 1840, was the residence of the Franz Pfeil family, members of the Harmonist Society. Later residents include inventor Oliver Evans Jr. and the family of Robert Henry Fauntleroy and Jane Dale Owen Fauntleroy. The Fauntleroy’s daughter, Constance, organized the Minerva Society, a women’s literary club, in the home’s parlor in 1859.</p><br>
<p>Structures built during the Owenite period (1825 to 1867) generally reflect domestic architecture of the time. For example, the John Beal house, built circa 1829, reflects Federal/Greek Revival styles. The Owen House, known as “1830 House” and built by Robert Owen’s sons, is a two-story, brick residence with a Federal style appearance.The Chadwick-Fretageot house is similar to the “1830 house.” The David Dale Owen Laboratory is an 1849 Gothic Revival two-story brick laboratory, the Rapp-Maclure-Owen House, circa 1844, is a one-story, brick Greek Revival-style home, and the Schnee-Ribeyer-Elliott home is an 1867/1895 two and one-half story brick Greek Revival/Italianate home.</p><br>
<p>Two properties built outside the district’s period of significance of 1814 to 1867 were grandfathered from the 1965 National Register designation because they relate to the continued work of the Workingman’s Institute, founded by geologist and philanthropist William Maclure in 1838. These buildings include the Workingmen’s Institute, a three-story, brick Romanesque Revival building constructed in 1894, and Murphy Auditorium, built in 1913, a three-story, brick Neoclassical auditorium. In addition to historically significant resources, the district includes over one hundred noncontributing buildings and sites constructed outside the Harmonist-Owenite period of significance.</p><br>
<p>Cape Irizaki is the western tip of Yonaguni Island and the westernmost point in Japan. The cape is within the town of Yonaguni, Okinawa.</p><br>
<p>There is a lighthouse, an observation platform, and a monument titled "Monument of the Westernmost Point of Japan" on the cape. Tourists gather at the cape daily to see the final sunset in Japan.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Cape Irizaki is 0.37 km wide, 0.7 km long, and juts into the East China Sea northwest from Yonaguni Island. The cape reaches a height of 50 m, and is surrounded by sea cliffs. Taiwan, which is about 110 km to the west, is visible on a clear day. Kubara hill and its homonymous fishing port and settlement are visible to the east of the cape. The Black Current flows west of Cape Irizaki to the north, and is a rich fishing ground for marlin and skipjack tuna.</p><br>
<p>Cape Irizaki, like much of the Yaeyama Islands, is composed of sandstone and mudstone. The cape is devoid of trees due to constant strong winds. Unlike other areas of the Yaeyama Islands, Cape Irizaki is surrounded by very little coral reef.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Cape Irizaki is first mentioned in Shōhō Kuniezu, a kuniezu, or series of Japanese provincial land maps created during the Edo period (1603 &ndash; 1868). The Shōhō Kuniezu, which was compiled beginning in 1644, lists the cape as "Ire no Zaki". The cape became the westernmost point of Japan in 1879, when Japan annexed the Ryukyu Kingdom.</p><br>
<h2>Transportation</h2><br>
<p>Cape Irizaki is open to the public, and is easily accessible on foot from the settlement of Kubaradake. The cape is approximately one hour by car from Yonaguni Airport.</p><br>
<p>The Saint Peter Islands, also known as Saint Petra Islands or Petra Islands  are two islands covered with tundra vegetation, shingle and ice. These islands, as well as some other islands nearby  were originally named after Christian Apostles. The climate is Arctic and severe with frequent blizzards in the winter. The sea surrounding these Islands is covered with fast ice most of the year and is obstructed by pack ice even in the summer, so that these islands are merged with the mainland and animals can go across the ice.</p><br>
<p>This island group belongs to the Krasnoyarsk Krai administrative division of Russia.</p><br>
<p>None of these islands have had much historical importance, except for the fact that they are located very close to the Northern Sea Route.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Saint Peter Islands are surrounded by narrow beach ridges and swales. They are located in the Laptev Sea coastal region, off the eastern shores of the Taymyr Peninsula, between Bukhta Marii Pronchishchevoy and Bukhta Faddeya.</p><br>
<p>The largest island is Ostrov Petr-Severnyy with a surface of 175 km². It is located very close to the coast, separated from it by a sound that is only 1.2 km wide in its narrowest point. The latitude of this island is 76° 40 N and its longitude 112° 25 E.</p><br>
<p>Ostrov Petr-Yuzhnyy is significantly smaller than its northern neighbor. It is located 9 km to the SW of Ostrov Petr-Severnyy and it is farther offshore. The latitude is 76° 20 N and its longitude 113° 15 E.</p><br>
<p>Other lesser islands in the Saint Peter group are Dozhdevoy, Vstrech, Bezymyannyy, Serpovidnyy and Kleshnya.</p><br>
<h3>Other adjacent coastal islands</h3><br>
<p>Saint Andrew Island (Остров Андрея; Ostrov Andreia) is an island of similar characteristics lying about 40 km further northwest along the coast. This island, Paul Island (Остров Павла; Ostrov Pavla) and Koshka Island (Остров Кошка; Ostrov Koshka), a neighboring long and narrow coastal island, are sometimes included as part of the same group, the Saint Andrew Islands (Острова Андрея; Ostrova Andreia).</p><br>
<p>Vosmogo Marta Island (Остров Восьмого Марта) is located only 8.5 km to the south of Petr-Yuzhnyys SW end.</p><br>
<p>Psov Island (Остров Псов) is 4 km long and 3 km wide. It lies further down the coast, 43 km from Petr-Yuzhnyy&#39;s southeastern point.</p><br>
<p>Cedar Hill Cemetery in Hartford, Connecticut is located at 453 Fairfield Avenue. It was designed by landscape architect Jacob Weidenmann  who also designed Hartford&#39;s Bushnell Park. Its first sections were completed in 1866 and the first burial took place on July 17, 1866. Cedar Hill was designed as an American rural cemetery in the tradition of Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery straddles three towns. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997, in Hartford, Newington, and Wethersfield. It includes the Cedar Hill Cemetery Gateway and Chapel, also known as Northam Memorial Chapel and Gallup Memorial Gateway, which is separately listed on the NRHP.</p><br>
<p>Cedar Hill Cemetery encompasses 270 acre and includes several historic buildings, including the Northam Memorial Chapel (built 1882), which was designed by Hartford architect George Keller, and the Superintendents Cottage (built 1875), which continues to be occupied by Cedar Hills Superintendent to this day.</p><br>
<p>Open from dawn til dusk 365 days a year, Cedar Hill Cemetery welcomes visitors to walk the grounds and partake in the expansive art, history and natural resources this park-like space has to offer.</p><br>
<h2>Notable monuments</h2><br>
<p>Cedar Hill has many unique monuments. One of the most recognizable is the 18 ft tall pink-granite pyramid, and life-sized angel statue, erected in memory of Mark Howard and his wife, Angelina Lee Howard. Mark Howard was president of the National Fire Insurance Company of Hartford and Connecticut&#39;s first internal revenue collector.</p><br>
<p>Another example of an unusual grave is that of Cynthia Talcott, age two, which features her likeness in stone.</p><br>
<p>John Pierpont Morgans family monument was designed by architect George W. Keller. Made of red Scottish granite, the monument was designed to portray Morgans vision of the Ark of the Covenant.</p><br>
<p>The Porter-Valentine mausoleum features a stained-glass window created by Louis Comfort Tiffany.</p><br>
<h2>Notable burials</h2><br>
<p>More than 30,000 people are buried at Cedar Hill Cemetery, including many Hartford notables such as:</p><br>
<p>Robert Downing Ames (1889–1931), actor</p><br>
<p>John Moran Bailey, Connecticut politician</p><br>
<p>Henry Barnard (1811–1900), Connecticut educator</p><br>

<p>Trinity Church is an historic church located at 833 Route 12A in Cornish, New Hampshire, in the United States. It began in 1793 as the Episcopal Society and became Trinity Episcopal Church in 1795. Instrumental in its establishment was Philander Chase, son of one of the three founders of Cornish and then a student at Dartmouth College. Chase later became the first bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Ohio, the first bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Illinois, and Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America. Construction of the church began in 1803 and was finished in 1808. On February 1, 1980, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Its historic graveyard is known as Trinity Cemetery. After decades of being vacant, the church was reopened in 2004 as Trinity Anglican Church.</p><br>
<h2>Early history</h2><br>
<p>It began in 1793 as the Episcopal Society and became Trinity Episcopal Church in 1795. Instrumental in its establishment was Philander Chase, son of one of the three founders of Cornish and then a student at Dartmouth College. Chase later became the first bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Ohio. Construction of the church began in 1803 and was finished in 1808. Originally part of what is now the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts, it became part of newly formed Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire in 1811.</p><br>
<h2>Recent history</h2><br>
<p>After being listed on the National Register in 1980, Trinity Church was reconstructed in 1984-1985 by state representative Peter Hoe Burling. In 2004, the conman (and subsequently convicted murderer) known as Clark Rockefeller bought the vacant building. Afterwards, the church reopened as Trinity Anglican Church, a parish in the Diocese of the Northeast in the Anglican Church in America. Services are held in the church except during the winter when they are held at the Grange Hall, 1071 Main Street (Route 12A) in Plainfield.</p><br>
<p>The Hohenstaufen is a mountain in the Swabian Jura with an elevation of 684 m Together with the Rechberg and Stuifen, Staufer Frius, it forms the so-called "Three Kaiser mountains" . It is easily visible from the little town of Lorch; it towers over the forests of that previously occupied the Staufer the Hohenstaufen castle is now in ruin.</p><br>
<p>There are many footpaths on the mountain that are easily accessible from three different entrances. The summit is surrounded by beech trees which tower above the footpaths. Located at the peak of the mountain is a bar which serves German beer and other snacks, however the bar is being reconstructed into a glass like conservatory.</p><br>
<p>The name is derived from the shape of the mountain, which forms the shape of a chalice ("Stauf").</p><br>

<p>Elmwood Park is a residential neighborhood and historic district in what is now the center of Columbia, South Carolina. Founded in the early 1900s, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Elmwood Park Historic District on May 3, 1991.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The land in the neighborhood was originally the State Fair Grounds, beyond the city limits. The area that is now between Park Street and Wayne Street was used for fair grounds and a race track. After the state fair moved to its current location adjacent to the University of South Carolina&#39;s Williams-Brice Stadium, the various original owners of the area began selling the parcels for real estate development, as well as at least one owner leaving a bequeath in his will for local school development. Eventually, the lots were subdivided and offered to the public at a public auction sale in 1905. This auction date is generally recognized as the establishment of Elmwood Park. As the neighborhood quickly developed, it was annexed by the City of Columbia in 1907. This created the first suburb and the first expansion of the city outside its original planned boundaries.</p><br>
<h2>National Register of Historic Places</h2><br>
<p>The National Register lists 279 homes in the neighborhood, with 219 homes contributing. The housing styles range from Queen Anne style, American Foursquare, gable-front houses, and Colonial Revival houses, to the smaller one-story structures that are predominantly American Craftsman influenced. Brick bungalows are also present, largely later-built from the 1920s and 1930s. A number of shotgun houses still stand in the earliest developed part of the neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>Two historic schools are located in the neighborhood, the still-functioning Logan Elementary, and the former Wardlaw Junior High, which is now a residential senior facility known as Wardlaw Apartments. Logan School is the work of a local architect, J. Carroll Johnson. James Burwell Urquhart, another prominent Columbia architect, designed Wardlaw Junior High School. Logan was built in 1913 and added to the National Register in 1979. Wardlaw was built in 1927 and added to the National Register in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Rohm and Haas Corporate Headquarters in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States was built as the headquarters for the former chemical manufacturing company Rohm and Haas. Completed in 1964, the building was the first private investment for the urban renewal of the Independence Mall area. Only two blocks from Independence Hall the building, designed by Pietro Belluschi and George M. Ewing Co., was lauded for its respect to the nearby park and historical buildings. Philadelphia&#39;s city planners praised the Rohm and Haas Corporate Headquarters as a standard for all redevelopment buildings.</p><br>
<p>The nine-story buildings most notable feature is its translucent, corrugated sunscreens. Supported by aluminum lattices throughout the buildings facade, the sunscreens are made of Rohm and Haas&#39;s principal product, Plexiglas. In 2007 the Rohm and Haas Corporate Headquarters was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and today is considered one of the best examples of the International style.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Rohm and Haas Corporate Headquarters was conceived as part of the city of Philadelphias plan to improve and revive the area around Independence Hall. Along with the creation of a park north of Independence Hall, the area saw the construction of new and modern buildings including a federal courthouse, a new Philadelphia Mint and the Rohm and Haas Building. For the revival of the Independence Mall area, city planner Edmund Bacon approached Otto Haas to move Rohm and Haas, a Philadelphia-based chemical manufacturing company, to Independence Mall. According to legend, Haas reportedly said, "This city may or may not survive. But if companies like Rohm and Haas desert it, then surely the city will not survive!" Federal funds for private investors investing in urban renewal land was also a significant factor in Rohm and Haass decision to stay in Philadelphia.</p><br>
<p>In 1959 Rohm and Haas, the first private investor to build on the Independence Mall, first commissioned Philadelphia-based George M. Ewing Co. to design their new headquarters. Ewings design was met with a poor response from the City Art Commission, and Rohm and Haas decided on using a leading architect and approached Pietro Belluschi. At the time the dean of architecture and planning at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Belluschi worked with George M. Ewing Co. to redesign Ewings original plan. The new design was completed in a few months and was approved by Rohm and Haas, the City Planning Commission, the Redevelopment Authority, and the City Art Commission. Construction began in 1963 and was completed in 1964, costing close to US$10 million. Rohm and Haas moved from their old Washington Square headquarters into the new building in 1965.</p><br>
<p>By the 2000s, the Rohm and Haas Corporate Headquarters needed upgrades to its building systems and facilities. The company spent two years deciding whether to renovate its current building or to move to cheaper, more modern space in Center City. In 2006 Rohm and Haas decided to stay in the current building and spend up to US$25 million on renovations. The building&#39;s architecture and layout were the main reason for the company to stay. The building allows single departments to stay together on the same floor, while in a Center City skyscraper departments would likely have to be spread out over several floors.</p><br>
<p>RMJM Hillier was hired to handle the buildings renovations. The original plan was well received but exceeded the renovations budget. To help pay for the renovations, RMJM Hillier tried to get the building declared a National Historic Landmark, which would allow the company to get tax credits. Usually buildings less than fifty years old are not considered, but the building&#39;s significance in Modern architecture kept the state of Pennsylvania and the National Park Service interested. While not designated a National Historic Landmark, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 9, 2007.</p><br>
<p>To help get the Rohm and Haas Corporate Headquarters listed as a landmark, RMJM Hillier and Rohm and Haas focused renovations on opening up floor space and modernizing systems. A part of the original plan that altered the building&#39;s facade was abandoned, but the facade received a thorough cleaning. Inside, most of the enclosed office space was removed and replaced with open workstations. The new layout was also designed to let more light into the interior of the building. The work spaces also received new furniture, which replaced some that dated back to the 1960s. The dining area was moved from the basement to street level in a space that was previously occupied by a bank, but had lain vacant for several years. Security, telecommunications, and central plant systems were also upgraded and modernized. The interior renovations finished around May 2008, with improvements to the surrounding plaza completed several months later.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>Starting from George M. Ewing&#39;s original design of an office tower, Pietro Belluschi and George M. Ewing Co. turned the Rohm and Haas Corporate Headquarters into a 300,000 ft&sup2, nine-story low horizontal block. At the corner of 6th Street and Market Street, two blocks away from Independence Hall, the Rohm and Haas Corporate Headquarters front facade runs parallel along 6th Street looking towards the Independence Mall. The reinforced concrete framed building sits on flaring concrete columns and is set back from the street by a raised plaza. The landscaped plaza cuts through the middle of the ground level of the building, opening up to a larger plaza with a fountain and small pool. The plaza behind the building allows public access to an alley that leads to Seventh Street.</p><br>
<p>To help keep the building cool, Belluschi added bronze-colored translucent corrugated panel sunscreens to the facade. Supported by a bronze anodized aluminum lattice, the sunscreens are made of Rohm and Haas&#39;s principal product, Plexiglas. The use of sunscreens and dark colors gave the facade a textured pattern and overall effect of avoiding making the building appear oversized. Besides the sunscreens, Plexiglas was used in the board room, in a few of the artistic commissions and light fixtures by designer György Kepes.</p><br>
<p>The building was very well received by Philadelphia&#39;s city planners, who felt it set a standard for redevelopment buildings. The building was designed to contrast, but not overwhelm the nearby 18th-century Georgian architecture. The Washington Post architecture critic Wolf Von Eckardt praised the building for its sensitivity to the nearby historic buildings, and how it related to the texture and small size of Independence Hall and at the same time the large open space of Independence Mall. The Corporate Headquarters has also been praised for its logical configuration, the building being described as "a very well done rational office building." Today the Rohm and Haas Corporate Headquarters is considered one of the best examples of the International style.</p><br>
<p>The Ford Hospital, also called the Fifth Avenue Hotel, is located at 121 South 25th Street in Midtown Omaha, Nebraska. Built in 1916 by Home Builders Incorporated, the hospital was a privately operated facility built and operated by Dr. Michael J. Ford. Operating until 1922, it was the last small, private hospital in the city. Originally designed by James T. Allan, the building stylistically is unique a blend of elements from the Second Renaissance Revival and the Arts and Crafts movements. The building was sold and remodeled as the Fifth Avenue Hotel in 1929, a name referring to the nickname Douglas Street obtained after the installation of new electric lights in 1927. The building was again converted in 1987, and currently serves as apartments.</p><br>
<h2>Notable cases</h2><br>
<p>The hospital was instrumental in Omaha&#39;s treatment of the "Great Influenza Epidemic" of 1919. That same year Mayor Edward Parsons Smith was brought to the hospital on September 28, 1919. He was nearly lynched by a mob during the Omaha Race Riot that day.</p><br>
<p>St. John the Baptist Church is an historic Episcopal church located at 118 High Street in the Sanbornville village of Wakefield, New Hampshire, in the United States. Built 1876-77, it is a prominent regional example of Carpenter Gothic architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. Since January 28, 2007, the Rev. Sue Poulin has been priest-in-charge.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>St. John&#39;s occupies a triangular lot on the north side of Sanbornville village, bounded by High Street, Wakefield Road (New Hampshire Route 153), and St. John Street. The church is located near the center of the parcel, and is oriented facing west toward High Street; to its south is the rectory, also facing High Street, and the parish hall is on the east side of the lot, oriented at an angle to the other two buildings in order to properly face Wakefield Street.</p><br>
<p>The church is a handsome example of Gothic Revival architecture, designed by Charles C. Haight. It is one of the architect&#39;s earlier works, and is clearly based in part on a design for country churches published by Richard Upjohn in his 1852 book Rural Architecture, but with more elaborate flourishes. It has an asymmetrical cruciform plan with a tower projecting to the right of its street-facing facade. The rectory was added in 1881, and the parish hall in 1894; both are vernacular expressions of late Victorian architecture.</p><br>
<p>The church was built in 1876-77, to fulfill the dying wish of Mrs. Josiah Low, a bequest that was seen through by her granddaughter, with additional funds donated by other members of the Low family. The church was consecrated on September 14, 1877, by the Rt. Rev. William Woodruff Niles, the third bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire. Originally set on a much smaller lot, further gifts from the Low family made possible the acquisition of the full 3.3 acre it now owns, as well as the construction of the rectory. The church was a mission of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire until it achieved parish status on June 14, 1961.</p><br>
<p>Holland Island is a marshy, rapidly eroding island in the Chesapeake Bay, in Dorchester County, Maryland, west of Salisbury. The island was once inhabited by watermen and farmers, but has since been abandoned. It is located in the Holland Strait, between Bloodsworth Island and Smith Island, six miles west of Wenona, Maryland.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Holland Island was originally settled in the 1600s, taking its name from early colonist Daniel Holland, the original purchaser of the property from the Dorchester County Sheriff. By 1850, the first community of fishing and farming families developed on the island. By 1910, the island had about 360 residents, making it one of the largest inhabited islands in the Chesapeake Bay. The island community had 70 homes, stores and other buildings. It had its own post office, two-room school with two teachers, a church, baseball team, community center, and a doctor. The islanders supported themselves mainly by dredging for oysters, fishing for shad and crabbing. Their fleet of workboats included 41 skipjacks, 10 schooners and 36 bugeyes, some of which were built on the island.</p><br>
<p>The wind and tide began to seriously erode the west side of the island, where most of the houses were located, in 1914. This forced the inhabitants to move to the mainland. Many disassembled their houses and other structures and took them to the mainland, predominantly Crisfield. Attempts to protect the island by building stone walls were unsuccessful. The last family left the island in 1918, when a tropical storm damaged the island&#39;s church. A few of the former residents continued living on the island during the fishing season until 1922, when the church was moved to Fairmount, Maryland.</p><br>
<p>Stephen White, a minister, cared for the island for many years and formed The Holland Island Preservation Foundation. In June 2010, White sold the island to the Concorde Foundation. In October 2010, the last remaining house on Holland Island, built in 1888, collapsed.</p><br>
<h3>Lighthouse</h3><br>
<p>The Holland Island Bar Light, a lighthouse originally built to the south of Holland Island in 1889, was dismantled and replaced with an automated light in 1960.</p><br>
<h2>Geology and ecology</h2><br>
<p>The land of the island has been inundated as a result of sea level rise associated with global warming. This process has caused a major loss of land on the island. Like other Chesapeake Bay islands, Holland Island is primarily made up of clay and silt, not rock. The western ridge of the island is very exposed to waves in the bay, making it prone to erosion as well. The island&#39;s size has been reduced by half, from 160 acre in 1915 to 80 acre in 2005.</p><br>
<p>Most of the remaining land on the island is now marsh, and at high tide the entire island is underwater. Many birds, including terns, herons, songbirds, and brown pelicans are found on the island. A survey in 1995 counted 609 nesting pairs in a heron rookery on the island. Hurricane Isabel, a tropical storm by the time it reached Maryland in September 2003, destroyed 60 percent of the trees that previously served the rookery.</p><br>
<p>Mount Maclure is the nearest neighbor to Mount Lyell, the highest point in Yosemite National Park. Mount Maclure is located at the southeast end of the Cathedral Range, about 0.6 mi northwest of Lyell. The summit is on the boundary between Madera and Tuolumne counties which is also the boundary between the park and the Ansel Adams Wilderness. It was named in honor of William Maclure, a pioneer in American geology who produced the first geological maps of the United States. Maclure Glacier, one of the last remaining glaciers in Yosemite, is situated on the mountain&#39;s northern flank.</p><br>
<p>The easiest climbing route leaves the John Muir Trail about 8.5 mi south of Tuolumne Meadows and traverses the Maclure Glacier to the summit.</p><br>
<p>Cape Nome Mining District Discovery Sites is a National Historic Landmark located in Nome, Alaska. It was named a National Historic Landmark in 1978.</p><br>
<p>Four sites are included within the NHL District:</p><br>
<p>Anvil Creek Gold Discovery Site, which is separately listed on the National Register</p><br>
<p>Snow Creek Placer Claim No. 1, which is separately listed on the National Register</p><br>
<p>Erik Lindblom Placer Claim, which is separately listed on the National Register</p><br>
<p>Nome Beach, a 12.3 acre area</p><br>
<p>The three Swedes reported they discovered the Erik Lindblom Placer Claim on Mountain Creek on September 19, 1898, the Snow Creek Claim on September 20, and the Anvil Creek Discovery Claim on September 22.</p><br>
<p>Gold mining in the Nome mining district continues to this day.</p><br>
<h2>Anvil Creek Gold Discovery Site</h2><br>
<p>The site is on Anvil Creek about 4.25 mi north of what became the city of Nome, in a valley to the west of low, treeless Anvil Peak. It was one of the richest placer claim sites ever found in Alaska and yielded more than $5 million during its first five years. By 1965 the site was "largely returned to nature".</p><br>
<h2>Erik Lindblom Placer Claim</h2><br>
<p>The Erik Lindblom Placer Claim is on Mountain Creek, which is an often dry tributary that joins the Snake River about 5.5 mi inland from the Snake Rivers outlet, at Nome, into Norton Sound on the Bering Sea. The claim is on the "Third Beach", about 79 ft above sea level, which is the furthest inland former seafront in the Nome area. Geologically, a high concentration of gold was produced by ocean waves, similar to the later production of gold concentration on Nomes beach. The site was the first of three gold discovery sites by the three miners.</p><br>
<p>Oddly, ownership of the claim site could not be determined at the time of its NRHP nomination in 1975; the last known owner was "Pioneer Mining Company", more than 50 years before then. In 1975, the area was back to a "natural state", although debris in the form of mining equipment and domestic implements remained. Nothing on the land then distinguished the Erik Lindblom Placer Claim from the surrounding area.</p><br>
<h2>Snow Creek Placer Claim No. 1</h2><br>
<p>The Snow Creek Placer Claim No. 1 is a 635 ft-wide strip running 1,345 ft along Snow Creek, up from its confluence with Glacier Creek, which joins the Snake River about 3 mi further down. Snow Creek is often dry. Placer mining on Snow Creek was nearly exhausted by 1903.</p><br>
<h2>Nome Beach</h2><br>
<p>In 1899, about 1,000 miners in Nome were idle due to the fact that the entire Anvil Creek had been claimed, (and presumably so had all other known placer mining sites in the area). It was fortuitously discovered that the beach at Nome was itself gold-ridden, and rockers could garner $20 to $100 each day.</p><br>
<p>The Church of the Holy Ascension, also known as the Holy Ascension Orthodox Church, is a prominent landmark in Unalaska, the major community of the western Aleutian Islands in southwestern Alaska. The current church was built in 1894, probably on the site of an 1826 church, and likely using timbers and other elements  from the older church. It is one of the oldest churches in Alaska, and is significant as the site from which missionaries brought their religion to the local Aleut people. This evangelization effort was so successful that todays Aleut population is still strongly Orthodox. The church was declared a National Historic Landmark for its architecture, and for its role in the history and culture of Alaska. It is the second cathedral church of the Orthodox Church in America Diocese of Alaska, after St. Michaels Cathedral in Sitka .</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Church of the Holy Ascension is located in Unalaska, a community of about 4,000 on the north side of Unalaska Island, the largest of the western Aleutian Islands. It stands roughly midway on a peninsula dividing the Ililiuk River and Ililiuk Bay, west of the main part of the community. The church stands on a property known as the "Russian Greek Mission Reserves", a 1.5 acre area on which the bishop&#39;s residence also stands.</p><br>
<p>The church is a wood-frame structure, cruciform in shape, with a belltower at its western end. The tower is 52 ft tall, starting as a square structure, which rises to a cornice with shallow center gables on each cornice, and an octagonal cupola topped by a green onion dome, which is capped by an Orthodox cross. The tower is connected to the nave of the church by a gable-roofed narthex. The nave is rectangular, with a hip roof capped by a cupola similar to, but smaller than, that on the tower. Hip-roofed wings containing chapels extend north and south from the near the eastern end of the nave. The apse is at the far eastern end of the structure, with a hip roof that rises only to the level of the cornice of the nave. All of the roofs are covered in wooden shingles painted red; the domes are covered in tarpaper which is painted green.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the church has a fairly uncomplicated layout. The first floor of the tower acts as a vestibule, while the narthex area provides spaces for storage and stairs leading to the choir loft and the belfry, the latter occupying the tower&#39;s second level. The floors of the church are wooden, and painted red throughout. A red carpet leads through the nave to the eastern end of the building, where the main iconostasis and altar are located. The chapel to the north is dedicated to Saint Innocent of Irkutsk; that to the south is dedicated to Saint Sergius of Radonezh.</p><br>
<p>The structure has undergone only modest alterations since its construction in 1894-96, and underwent a major restoration in 1998.</p><br>
<h3>Bishop's house</h3><br>
<p>The bishop&#39;s house stands several hundred feet from the church. It is a modest two-story wood-frame structure, 28 ft by 32 ft, clad in shiplap siding. Single-story wings extend to the east and west of the main block. The cornices of the second story roofline have elaborately carved friezes and carved wooden corbel blocks.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Aleutian Islands were discovered by Russian fur hunters in the mid-18th century, and a Russian establishment existed at Unalaska as early as 1778, when British Captain James Cook explored the area. The first known religious building, a small chapel, was built in Unalaska in 1808, but there was no regular priest. The first significant effort by the Russian Orthodox establishment to evangelize the local Aleut population began in 1795, when a monk named Macarius arrived at Unalaska and baptized most of the native population. In 1824 Reverend Ivan Veniaminov arrived in Unalaska as its first permanent priest, and led the construction of a church not far from the site of the 1808 chapel. Veniamov, later canonized as Innocent of Alaska, was an energetic force in the growth of the church in western Alaska. He developed an alphabet for the Aleut language, and established a school to teach the natives to read and write. Veniaminov spent ten years in Unalaska before being assigned to Sitka, where he engaged in similar activities with respect to the Tlingit people. He was, during his long career in Alaska, a significant ethnographic resource, noted even by modern historians for the quality of his observations.</p><br>
<p>By 1858 the church Veniaminov built was failing due to the harsh climate, and a new church was built, using timbers from the older one. In the 1880s, after a period of decline in the church, Bishop Nestor commissioned the construction of the bishops house after a visit to Unalaska in which his accommodations were in the living quarters of the local cannery workers. As part of this work a school building was also erected, to which the bishops house was originally attached; this survived until it was destroyed by fire in 1960, singing the walls of the house in the process.</p><br>
<p>The present church was built in 1894-96, after the arrival of Reverend Alexander Kedrovsky. By this time Unalaska had achieved its place as the major port in the western Aleutians, and had grown into a small town. The district Kedrovsky oversaw extended to include the Fox and Pribilof island groups, and to communities on the Alaskan peninsula. It is believed that the north chapel of the present church is on the location of the original 1826 church, and that timbers were used from the old structure in construction of the new one. There is also evidence suggesting that the iconostasis in that chapel is Aleut craftsmanship dating to 1824.</p><br>
<p>During World War II, the native population of the area was evacuated to southeastern Alaska. The valuables of the church were preserved, despite the use of the church facilities by the nearly 60,000 troops stationed at Dutch Harbor. Although the population returned, the effects of the relocation were profound, and the church has declined in the region since the war. Icons from smaller community churches are now displayed in the chapel of St. Sergius.</p><br>
<p>The Stonewall Jackson Youth Development Center is a juvenile correctional facility of the North Carolina Department of Public Safety located in unincorporated Cabarrus County, North Carolina, near Concord.</p><br>
<p>The Stonewall Jackson Manual Training and Industrial School was established by an act of the state legislature in 1907 and opened in 1909 as the first juvenile detention facility in North Carolina. The school was named for Confederate General Stonewall Jackson. The institution is located three miles (5 km) from Concord. Originally encompassing 290 acre, the campus is 88 acre. Walter Thompson was the first principal.</p><br>
<p>Due to the school&#39;s pioneering status and the quality of several of its early buildings, the Stonewall Jackson Training School Historic District has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>It was previously operated by the North Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Established to provide a place for troubled youths separate from adult prisoners, this was considered a progressive institution. Its founding was the result of twenty years of organizing by white women&#39;s groups in North Carolina. They lobbied for construction of a reformatory for white boys as part of prison reform.</p><br>
<p>Particularly influential were the Kings Daughters (North Carolina) from 1902 on, and the Womens Christian Temperance Union (WCTU). The North Carolina Federation of Womens Clubs (NCFWC) and the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) also participated in campaigning strongly to raise funds and influence the legislature. When the Kings Daughters promised to name the school after General Stonewall Jackson, many Confederate veterans in the legislature finally approved the project, which was authorized in 1907. As a sign of their influence, four women were named to the board of the school.</p><br>
<p>Boys were generally incarcerated for relatively minor scrapes with the law, including school truancy.</p><br>
<p>"At the school, the young men lived in a series of dormitory style buildings, and received an academic education as well as learning a trade. Students worked in industries including shoemaking, printing, barbering, textiles, and a machine shop. Many of the young men worked on the school’s farm, learning modern agricultural techniques, and maintaining the fields and cattle herds that supported the school. The print shop produced a small newspaper called The Uplift."</p><br>
<p>Both white and African-American women&#39;s groups pressed the legislature for similar facilities for white girls, and for African American boys and girls. Such facilities were not constructed for several years: the first, for white girls, was built in 1918 in Moore County and called Samarcand.</p><br>
<h2>Post-World War II</h2><br>
<p>In 1948 as part of continuing statewide efforts to limit "feeblemindedness" and improve the population, the Stonewall Jackson Training School was the site of sterilization by vasectomy of six teenage white males, in operations authorized by the state Eugenics Board. Most sterilizations were performed on girls and women rather than boys or men. North Carolina was one of the last states that continued to perform sterilizations on people under state care.</p><br>
<p>During the decades of its existence, the School was criticized for abuses common in many detention facilities, such as overcrowding and prisoner violence. At its peak the facility held about 500 youths. At times there were inhumane conditions in which youths were attacked and raped by other inmates. Prison activist Russell Smith stated he suffered such attacks there when imprisoned in the 1960s from age 13-15. As an adult (and after time in state and federal prisons), Smith became an activist against prison violence, founding both the "National Gay Prisoner Coalition" (NGPC) and in 1980 People Organized to Stop Rape of Imprisoned Persons (POSRIP).</p><br>
<p>In the 1970s, ideas about treating youths changed, and they were seldom incarcerated for offenses as minor as delinquency. The state reduced the population at the facility. The size of the campus had been reduced earlier when the extensive agricultural program was dropped. Now called the Stonewall Jackson Youth Development Facility, it is used for serious offenders involved in drug abuse and weapons-related charges. About 150 young men are generally held here. Sixty acres of the facility are enclosed by a 15 ft-high fence.</p><br>
<p>Since 1992 the center has had a Pet Therapy Program, in which youth learn to care for dogs. Animals are sometimes made available for adoption outside the center.</p><br>
<p>As of 2015 23 of the 60 structures are used, and most of them are used for storage purposes.</p><br>

<p>Cape Field at Fort Glenn was a military site significant for its role in World War II. It consists of Fort Glenn, an airfield of the United States Army Air Corps later renamed Cape Air Force Base, and the adjacent Otter Point Naval Air Facility, both located on Umnak Island in the Aleutian Islands of southwestern Alaska. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and declared a National Historic Landmark in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Origins</h3><br>
<p>Because of the perceived vulnerability of Alaska immediately following the Pearl Harbor Attack, additional Army Air Corps units were authorized by General Henry H. Arnold for Alaska and plans were made to send modern aircraft to the Territory to replace the obsolete aircraft assigned. However the Alaskan Air Force had few airfields to accommodate the additional aircraft and units being assigned.</p><br>
<p>Along with new airfields on the mainland and Southwest Alaska, new air bases were planned for the air defense of the Aleutians to Dutch Harbor. Construction of the new bases on Umnak and Cold Bay began in January 1942 in secret, with construction reportedly disguised as a cannery. The first United States Army engineers landed at what would become Fort Glenn Army Air Base on 17 January and construction began by the end of the month. A Naval airfield, Otter Point Naval Air Facility was adjacent to the Army Airbase. The 807th Engineering Battalion (Aviation) was brought in from Yukat to perform the construction along with a detachment of the Navy Seabee 8th Construction Battalion.</p><br>
<p>Plans called for three hard-surfaced runways (four were eventually built), however time was of the essence in the construction of the base, as the air defense of Dutch Harbor was dependent on them. Instead of a hard surface, engineers chose to use a new material, Pierced Steel Planking (PSP), which could be laid down quickly over a compressed gravel subsurface to provide the airfield with an all-weather capability. There were 80,000 pieces of matting which needed to be barged to the island. Construction crews worked in three shifts, 24 hours a day laying down the runways and constructing a rudimentary support station, water and sewer lines, an electrical grid, communications, fuel and munitions storage sites and all the other necessities to convert a remote island site into an operational airfield capable of supporting heavy bombers. A 5,000 PSP runway was completed on 5 April although a C-53 was first plane to land on the field was on 31 March. The main runway was officially opened on 23 May. Fort Glenns first runway was then the USA Army&#39;s most westerly airfield in the Aleutian Islands."</p><br>
<p>The first operational unit, the 11th Fighter Squadron, moved into Fort Glenn with P-40 Warhawk fighters on 26 May from Elmendorf Field. Additional construction continued throughout 1942 with four 5&#39;000 x 175 foot runways were completed (06/24, 07/35), two of which (03/21, 04/22) were situated only 10 degrees apart. All runways had four layers of asphalt laid down over the PSP. Two additional emergency landing fields were built, one on the north coast of the island (North Shore) 53&deg;30&prime;45&Prime;N latitude, 167&deg;55&prime;18&Prime;W longitude, 9.4 miles north; the other 7.7 miles to the west-southwest of the base near the Tullk Volcano (Pacifier) 53&deg;19&prime;35&Prime;N latitude, 168&deg;03&prime;23&Prime;W longitude.</p><br>
<p>Morrison-Knudsen Construction Company built hundreds of Quonset hut structures on the base, replacing the temporary tents which exposed the construction crews to the sudden storms which swept the island frequently. Housing & messing facilities for 119 officers & 359 men were constructed as well as recreational and service buildings. Storage facilities consisted of 6,975 square feet for general stores & a 150-cubic-foot freezer. Buildings for aircraft included a kodiak-type hangar, 160 x 90, a squadron warehouse, and a terminal for air transport service. Administration offices were housed in 5 buildings with a total floor space of 3,850 square feet. Radio facilities included a transmitting station, a direction-finder station, and a radar station, all with separate power houses & with housing & messing provisions for personnel. The hospital, located in one small building, contained 8 beds. The maintenance force of the station was installed in 7 buildings. Electric power was provided by 3 diesel-electric generators.</p><br>
<h3>Aleutian Islands Campaign</h3><br>
<p>On 3 June 1942 the Imperial Japanese Navy launched two aircraft carrier raids on the United States Army barracks and the US Navy base at Dutch Harbor on nearby Amaknak Island. The attack was a surprise, however the base been on alert for an attack for many days, although there was no specific warning of the attack before the Japanese planes arrived over Dutch Harbor. The attack signaled the beginning of the Aleutian Islands Campaign. In response, the P-40s of the 11th Fighter Squadron from Fort Glenn AAB along with Naval land-based fighters attacked the Japanese aircraft. Eleventh Air Force also dispatched aircraft from Elmendorf Field. In the ensuring battle, the United States Navy lost four PBYs, snd Eleventh AF lost one B-17, two B-26s and one LB-30 (B-24A) bombers and two P-40 fighters. The Japanese lost two A6M "Zero" fighters, and possibly a third due to ground anti-aircraft fire. One A6M "Zero", three D3A "Val" dive bombers and one E8N "Dave"reconnaissance seaplane were shot down in aerial combat.</p><br>
<p>Eleventh Air Force also dispatched B-26 Marauder medium bombers of the 77th Bombardment Squadron. They arrived about noon to locate the Japanese aircraft carriers and counterattack, however they landed at Fort Glenn about 1:30pm due to fog and low visibility. The Marauders were carrying airborne torpedoes, rather than contact bombs which they were designed to carry. In addition to the Dutch Harbor attack, Japanese forces landed on Kiska Island on 6 June; Attu Island on 7 June, seizing both.</p><br>
<p>The Japanese attacks on Dutch Harbor, however inflicted only minor damage on the base, which were quickly repaired. The mission of Fort Glenn Army Air Base was changed to serve as the initial forward base to launch bombing attacks against the Japanese forces in the Aleutians. Known Air Force units deployed to Fort Glenn were:</p><br>
<p>28th Bombardment Group</p><br>
<p>343d Fighter Group</p><br>
<p>By the close of 1942, Fort Glenn AAB had 10,579 personnel assigned, but its role as an advance air base had been supplanted by new air bases on Adak and Amchitka Islands in early 1943 farther to the west. By the end of the year, the base had become a backwater; its mission had become the provision of housing and rations for transient personnel and the servicing of transient aircraft.</p><br>
<h3>Closure</h3><br>
<p>After the war ended, Fort Glenn remained open as a refueling stop for transient aircraft in the Aleutians along with Military Air Transport Service flights using the Great Circle Route from Japan to the United States. The main runway, however was extended to 8,300&#39; to accommodate large, long range aircraft. By 1946, the base was manned only by skeleton staff due to the rapid demobilization of the Air Force.</p><br>
<p>The last Air Force personnel were withdrawn by 30 September 1947, and the base was put on inactive status and was effectively abandoned. It was decommissioned in 1950 and the site was excessed between 1952-55 to the Bureau of Land Management. The land was later transferred to a variety of owners, including Alaska Native corporations and the State of Alaska. Today hundreds of buildings, runways, and World War II artillery emplacements remain in various states of deterioration.</p><br>
<p>Today Fort Glenn AAF is a virtual ghost town—except for a family of cattle ranchers who have renovated several World War II buildings and who call the base home. The expanse and undisturbed quality of the resource make Fort Glenn AAF an outstanding conceptual model for landscape preservation. In 1991, National Park Service historians visited the site to review the World War II-related construction, infrastructure, landscape, and objects.</p><br>
<p>It was determined that any environmental cleanup should be designed to remove loose cables, transformers, hazardous material, toxic waste, and ordnance. Nontoxic World War II-related objects such as empty barrels could be left in place; full barrels would be, of course, another issue. All other buildings, structures, and infrastructure—no matter how "unsightly"—would be left intact and preserved: in this case preservation can simply mean avoidance and the acceptance that the buildings and structures have a definite place within the landscape.</p><br>
<p>On Saturday July 12, 2008, nearby Mount Okmok, erupted, sending ash 50,000 feet in the air and forcing the evacuation of the residents of the ranch. The eruption obliterated all remains of the South Pacifier Emergency landing strip, although some evidence of remains still are visible in aerial imagery.</p><br>
<p>Fort William H. Seward, also known as Chilkoot Barracks and Haines Mission, is a site at Port Chilkoot in Haines Borough, Alaska, about 0.5 mi from the city of Haines. It was the last of a series of 11 military posts established in Alaska during the gold rush era, and was Alaska&#39;s only military facility between 1925 and 1940. It provided a policing presence for miners moving into the gold mining areas in the Alaskan interior, and a military presence during negotiations over the nearby international border with Canada. The fort is named for William H. Seward, the United States Secretary of State who oversaw the Alaska purchase.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The fort was formally authorized by an executive order of President William McKinley in December 1898. United States Army troops had been stationed unofficially in the area during that year. Between 1902 and 1904, a formal infantry outpost consisting of 85 wood-frame buildings was constructed under the supervision of Colonel W. P. Richardson, and was formally named in 1904. It was first occupied by three companies of the Third Infantry, previously stationed at Camp Skagway. By 1909 the fort had grown to cover more than 4,000 acre. It was formally renamed Chilkoot Barracks in 1922, honoring the local Chilkoot people and the Chilkoot Trail used during the gold rush.</p><br>
<p>Between 1921 and 1925 all other military installations in Alaska were shut down; in 1927 Fort Seward was manned by a force of 255. The fort was formally deactivated in 1945, and sold to the Port Chilkoot Company. The property has been developed as an art colony; it includes housing and art galleries, and accommodations for tourists.</p><br>
<p>The fort was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Demographics</h2><br>
<p>Fort William H. Seward first appeared separately on the 1910 USA Census and in 1920. Its name was changed to Chilkoot Barracks in 1930 and 1940, before its closure in 1945. It has since been annexed into the City of Haines.</p><br>
<p>St. John&#39;s Episcopal Church is a historic Episcopal church located on the village green in the village of Highgate Falls in Highgate, Vermont, in the United States. Built 1829-30, it is prominent local example of a Federal style church with Gothic Revival features. On September 3, 1976, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>St. John&#39;s Episcopal Church stands on the east side of the village green in Highgate Falls, near the southern end of the elongated green. It is a single-story brick building, with a gabled roof. The front facade is three bays wide, with Gothic-arched windows flanking a central projecting gabled entry. The double-door entrance is topped by a fanlight, and there is a Palladian window with an arched center above. In the gable of the projection is a Federal style louvered fan. A square tower rises, set astride the boundary between the main roof and the projection. It has a round panel in the first stage, and the second stage is an octagonal louvered belfry.</p><br>
<p>The church was built between 1829 and 1830 by Joel Whitney of Enosburg, and was consecrated on May 21, 1834, by the Rt. Rev. John Henry Hopkins, the first bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Vermont. Its design is similar to a plan found in Asher Benjamins The Country Builders Assistant, a design book of Federal architecture, but it has been modified with Gothic features. The congregation was a full parish until 1896. Since then it has been under the jurisdiction of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, Swanton, whose current rector is the Rev. John R. Spainhour.</p><br>
<p>Pampa Sarovar is a lake in Koppal district near Hampi in Karnataka. To the south of the Tungabhadra River, it is considered sacred by Hindus and is one of the five sacred sarovars, or lakes in India. According to Hindu theology, there are five sacred lakes; collectively called Panch-Sarovar; Mansarovar, Bindu Sarovar, Narayan Sarovar, Pampa Sarovar and Pushkar Sarovar. In Hindu mythology Pampa Sarovar is regarded as the place where Pampa, a form of Shivas consort Parvati, performed penance to show her devotion to Shiva. It is also one of the Sarovars that finds a mention in the Hindu epic, Ramayana as the place where Shabari, a devotee of Rama waited for the arrival of Ram.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Pampa Sarovar lake is located in a valley, hidden among the hills on the road to Anegundi from Hospet. It is about a kilometer from the foothills of the Hanuman Temple. The lake is filled with lotuses, and is really picturesque when the flowers are in bloom. There is a Lakshmi temple, as well as a Shiva temple facing the pond. Next to the pond, under a mango tree stands a small Ganesh shrine.</p><br>
<h2>Related Mythology</h2><br>
<p>In the Ramayana, Pampa Sarovar is mentioned as the place where Shabari (also Shabri), a disciple of the Rishi Matanga, directed Rama as he journeyed southwards on his quest to redeem Sita, his wife, from the demon king Ravana. According to the story, Shabari, a pious devotee of Rama, prayed faithfully everyday to see Rama. She lived in the ashram of her guru, Matanga in the place now known as Matanga Parvat, in Hampi. Before her guru Matanga Rishi died he told her she would certainly see Rama. After his death, Shabari continued to live in the ashram awaiting Rama. Many years passed by and Shabari became an old woman, before Lord Rama stopped at the ashram on his journey to Lanka. She proceeded to feed Rama and his brother Lakshmana. Touched by her piety Rama and Lakshmana bowed down at her feet. Then, they narrated to her the incident of Sita&#39;s kidnapping and Shabari suggested that they seek help from Hanuman and Sugriva of the monkey kingdom who lived further south near the Pampa lake. Lord Rama took sacred bath in Matanga Lake.</p><br>
<p>Pampa sarovar is also famous for the pushti marg vaishnavas, where in Srimad Vallabhacahrya had performed Srimad Bhawwad in the 16th century, in his many bharat darshan visits, also reaffirms the importance of the holy place.</p><br>
<p>The Main Street Historic District in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, United States, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The district is composed of 51 buildings on or within a block of Main Street.</p><br>
<p>Although many of the storefronts have been remodeled over the years, the original decorative brickwork is still visible on the upper levels of most buildings.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Main Street is the oldest street in Fort Atkinson. It was originally part of a military road that connected Fort Dearborn to Fort Winnebago. The first white settlers arrived in the 1830s and settled on both sides of the Rock River. Soon after, a wooden bridge was built linking North and South Main Streets.</p><br>
<p>From the 1840s to the 1870s, Main Street had mostly wood frame stores with wide shingled canopies resting on wooden posts. In the 1880s these small frame shops gave way to the buildings that exist today - two and three story brick buildings constructed with local cream brick, and adorned with fancy cornices and dentils. Canvas awnings replaced wooden canopies.</p><br>
<h2>Main street bridge</h2><br>
<p>There have been three bridges crossing the Rock River at this location. Prior to the building of the first one in 1843, people and wagons would attempt to ford the river or were ferried across. City founder Dwight Foster operated the first ferry service using rafts and dugout canoes. The first bridge was a flimsy wooden structure built by local pioneers with material that were at hand. In 1870 an iron bridge costing $9,400 replaced it. A second iron bridge was built in 1881. In 1909 this structure was widened, with an elevated bandstand in the shape of a stockade constructed in the center. The present concrete bridge was built in 1917.</p><br>
<h2>Notable buildings</h2><br>
<p>The buildings include:</p><br>
<p>234 South Main - Built in 1888 as a furniture store, it was soon purchased by William D. Hoard for his expanding publishing company. Hoard had his office on the second floor. From 1910 to 1970 it was again used as a furniture store.</p><br>
<p>238 South Main - Built in 1883. Used until 1908 as the Hoard printing plant. It was a hardware store from 1936 to 1980.</p><br>
<p>9 Milwaukee Avenue West - Milo Jones built the Green Mountain House hotel in 1848. It was later known as the Higbee House, the Snove Hotel and Hotel Fort. In 1915 Frank Hoard and Harry Curtis built the Black Hawk Tavern adjoining the hotel. In 1929 the Green Mountain House was torn down and replaced by the present building.</p><br>
<p>Powder House Square is a neighborhood and landmark rotary in Somerville, Massachusetts, United States. It is also known locally as Powder House Circle. It is the 6-way intersection of College Avenue, Broadway, Warner Street, and Powder House Boulevard. Powder House Square stands at the southern tip of Tufts University&#39;s main Somerville/Medford campus, and borders the northern edge of Nathan Tufts Park. The square takes its name from the 18th century Powder House which overlooks the rotary from Nathan Tufts Park.</p><br>
<p>Powder House Square was home to one of the first hostile acts of the American Revolutionary War. The removal of colonial gunpowder by British soldiers, and the massive popular reaction known as Powder Alarm that ensued, are considered to be a turning point in the events leading up to war.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Broadway was one of the earliest highways running through what would later become Somerville, originating in the 17th century. Originally called "Menotomie&#39;s Road," it ran from Charlestown to the settlement at Menotomy (present-day Arlington).</p><br>
<p>Powder House Boulevard was created in 1900, extending northwest from Broadway at Nathan Tufts Park. According to a plaque placed at the center of the rotary island, the circle was dedicated in 1940 as the James A. Reynolds Traffic Circle, in honor of a Tufts College professor.</p><br>
<h3>Old Powder House</h3><br>
<p>First built for use as a windmill by John Mallet in the early 1703 or 1704, the Old Powder House was sold to the colonial government of Massachusetts for use as a gunpowder magazine in 1747. It is the oldest stone building in Massachusetts. Located at the intersection of Broadway and College Avenue in present-day Powder House Square, the Old Powder House held the largest supply of gunpowder in the colony. General Thomas Gage, who had become the military governor of Massachusetts in May 1774, was charged with enforcement of the highly unpopular Intolerable Acts, which the British Parliament had passed in response to the Boston Tea Party. Seeking to prevent the outbreak of war, he believed that the best way to accomplish this was by secretly removing military stores from storehouses and arsenals in New England.</p><br>
<h3>Powder Alarm</h3><br>
<p>Just after dawn on September 1, 1774, a force of roughly 260 British regulars from the 4th Regiment, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel George Maddison, were rowed in secrecy up the Mystic River from Boston to a landing point near Winter Hill. From there they marched about a mile to the Powder House, and after sunrise removed all of the gunpowder. Most of the regulars then returned to Boston the way they had come, but a small contingent marched on to Cambridge, seizing two field pieces from the Cambridge Common. The field pieces and powder were then taken from Boston to the British stronghold on Castle Island, then known as Castle William (renamed Fort Independence in 1779).</p><br>
<p>In response to the raid, amid rumors that blood had been shed, alarm spread through the countryside as far as Connecticut and beyond, and American Patriots sprang into action, fearing that war was at hand. Thousands of militiamen began streaming toward Boston and Cambridge, and mob action forced Loyalists and some government officials to flee to the protection of the British Army. This action provided a "dress rehearsal" for the Battles of Lexington and Concord seven months later in the famous "shot heard &#39;round the world". This did however, inflame already heated feelings on both sides and would spur actions by both British and American forces to secure both powder and cannon to secure locations.</p><br>
<h3>After the Revolutionary War</h3><br>
<p>Massachusetts began storing gunpowder elsewhere and sold the land containing the Powder House to Peter Tufts in 1818. The estate, known as the Powder House Farm, was used as a farm and residence for the Tufts family for most of the 19th century, passing to Peter&#39;s heir, Nathan Tufts. Incidentally, another Tufts relative Charles Tufts donated the land across Broadway on the Somerville/Medford line to found Tufts College (now Tufts University). The college was founded in 1852, on Walnut Hill slightly to the north of present-day Powder House Square.</p><br>
<p>In the 1870s, a pickle and condiment manufacturer named George Emerson began making pickles nearby, housing his business in a large shed that he moved to the property from another location in Somerville. The powder house itself, with its two-foot thick stone walls, was well-insulated and made a perfect place for storing Emerson&#39;s "Old Powder House Brand" pickles.</p><br>
<p>The descendants of Nathan Tufts donated the Powder House Farm along with its namesake structure to the city in 1890, and from this Nathan Tufts Park was established in 1893.</p><br>
<p>The Field House was constructed using stones from the demolished Highland Railroad Station on Lexington Avenue in 1936. Sponsored by the Federal Relief Administration as a Work Projects Administration Project, it has served many purposes over the years, including as an office for the Draft Board, then for the Traffic and Parking Department, and most recently as a Youth Program center. The building underwent significant repairs and restoration work both inside and outside during 2001-2002, and is now available for public use by petition.</p><br>
<p>In celebration of its 100th birthday, the City of Somerville (whose seal had previously depicted George Washington) created a new city seal, featuring the Powder House.</p><br>
<p>Nathan Tufts Park (along with the Powder House) was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, the first of many landmarks in Somerville to be added. The City of Somerville designated the park a local historic district in 1985.</p><br>
<p>An accidental fire damaged the Powder House in 1998, leading to extensive repairs and renovations in 2000-2001.</p><br>
<h3>Powder House Square today</h3><br>
<p>Small bronze sculptured monuments can be seen around Nathan Tufts Park referring to the site&#39;s past uses as a farm, a mill, storage for gunpowder, and even a pickle factory.</p><br>
<p>The island within the actual traffic circle is a tiny park on its own, complete with walkways, benches, and neatly arranged bushes and other flora. There is a large 360 degree directional post that points in the direction of dozens of different communities (like Arlington, Medford, and Winchester).</p><br>
<p>Powder House Square is located less than a half mile from Davis Square, Teele Square and Ball Square in Somerville. It is served by MBTA Buses 80 (Arlington Center/Lechmere), 89 (Clarendon Hill/Sullivan Square), 94 (Davis Square/Medford Square), and 96 (Harvard Station/Medford Square). Red Line subway service to Harvard Square and downtown Boston is conveniently close at Davis Square Station. Powder House Square is approximately one mile from Exit 31 of I-93.</p><br>
<p>A proposed light-rail station at Ball Square, as part of the Green Line Extension project, would put Powder House Square within a half mile of the Green Line in addition to the Red Line station at Davis Square.</p><br>
<p>Several businesses thrive on or around Powder House Square, including restaurants, several small medical and dental practices, and a funeral home.</p><br>
<p>The Merchants Avenue Historic District in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin was placed on the United States National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The district is composed of 33 mostly residential buildings within six city blocks around Merchants Avenue.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Because of its proximity to the Main Street mercantile area, Merchants Avenue became a natural residential location for many businessmen and professionals. Home designs were influenced by the gilded age attitude toward architecture. This resulted in many different architectural styles used in the district, including Greek Revival, Italianate, Second Empire, Queen Anne and Spanish Colonial. The predominate building materials used were either the locally manufactured yellow brick or wood, framed into houses with clapboard walls and shingled roofs.</p><br>
<h2>Notable buildings</h2><br>
<p>The buildings include:</p><br>
<p>407 Merchants Avenue - The Hoard Historical Museum - This Gothic Revival house was built in 1864. A wing was added in 1875 and in 1906 Frank Hoard doubled the size of the building and renovated it with an Arts and Crafts motif. The Hoard family donated the building to the city in 1956 for use as a museum. Since then three major additions have been added, including the National Dairy Shrine in 1981.</p><br>
<p>414 Foster Street - Foster House - Built for $2,000 in 1841, this Greek Revival style building is Fort Atkinson&#39;s oldest frame house. The lumber used was floated down the Rock River from Watertown. Wooden pegs are used throughout and it has cherry cellar stairs.</p><br>
<p>Only Remaining Covered Bridge in Northampton County Pa.</p><br>
<p>Kreidersville Covered Bridge</p><br>
<p>The historic Kreidersville Covered Bridge was built in 1839.</p><br>
<p>In 1959, inspired citizens of Northampton County rallied for its preservation after it became known that the State Highway Department had plans to build a new concrete bridge in its place. Kreidersville Covered Bridge became one of the first covered bridges to be recognized for preservation by a committee of enthusiasts.
