<p>The Gardner Uptown Historic District is a historic district encompassing the former civic heart of Gardner, Massachusetts. The 65 acre area includes the old town common, an early cemetery, and a modest number of non-residential buildings among a larger number of houses. The area was the center of civic life from the incorporation of Gardner in 1785 until municipal functions were moved to West Gardner beginning in the late 1920s. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The focal center of the district is the old town green, and the brick Victorian Gothic First Congregational Church. The green is adjacent to a major local road junction, a small rotary where Elm, Pearl, Green, and Central Streets meet. The district radiates aalong these streets, with additional properties on the adjacent sections of Woodland Avenue and Heywood Street, which abut on the common and the old cemetery.</p><br>
<p>Most of the buildings in the district date to the 19th century, with the majority of houses exhibiting either Greek Revival or Colonial Revival styling. Among the earliest buildings is the First Ministers House at 186 Elm Street, a Georgian/Federal house built in 1792 for Rev. Jonathan Osgood. Prominent architect-designed buildings in the district include the Levi Heywood Memorial Library Building, which was, like the First Congregational Church, designed by Fuller & Delano of Worcester, and the Syndicate Block, one of the districts few commercial buildings, which was designed by George Clemence.</p><br>
<p>The Blue Moon Diner, originally the Miss Toy Town Diner, is an historic diner at 102 Main Street in Gardner, Massachusetts. Built in 1949, it is well-preserved example of a late-model barrel-roofed diner manufactured by the Worcester Lunch Car Company. It has been located at its present location since 1954. The diner was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Blue Moon Diner is located on the east side of Gardners Main Street, on the southern edge of the central business district. The diner is set on a concrete foundation, and is oriented perpendicular to the road, with its parking area to the south. A wood frame addition to the east provides space for the kitchen and additional table space. The diner itself is seven bays long and three wide, and has a barrel roof, now covered in shingles. The main entrance is one of the diners original entrances, at the western (street-facing) end, sheltered by a canopy; the eastern entry to the diner now provides access to the addition. The exterior of the diner is finished in enameled tiles, and the entry doors are stainless steel. The interior features a marble counter, fourteen counter stools, and booths lining the southern wall. The booths are wooden, with tables that have laminated tops. Tile work on the interior is predominantly blue and cream, with accents in black and white.</p><br>
<p>The diner was built by the Worcester Lunch Car Company in 1949, and was originally located in Winchendon, where it was known as the Miss Toy Town Diner. It was moved to Gardner in 1954. The diner, which has seen a succession of owners, was restored in 1984, and is the only diner in Gardner.</p><br>
<p>The West Gardner Square Historic District encompasses the historic commercial, civic and industrial downtown area of Gardner, Massachusetts. Developed industrially beginning in the early 19th century, the area now boasts a concentration of late 19th and early 20th century commercial, civic, and industrial architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Gardner was incorporated in 1785 out of parts of surrounding towns, with its original town center located northeast of the present commercial downtown. It developed beginning in the early 19th century as a center for the manufacture of furniture, in particular chairs, powered by waters of local streams. By the 1840s the town was an acknowledged leader in chair making, employing some 350 people in that trade. The town&#39;s civic focus shifted from the original center to be nearer the industrial area. The arrival of railroads in 1847 and 1871 spurred increased growth.</p><br>
<p>The historic district encompasses most of downtown Gardners historic civic, commercial, and industrial buildings. It is centered around the five-way intersection of Vernon, Parker, Central, Main, and West Lynde Streets. Commercial and civic resources radiate mainly west and south from there, with three large surviving mill complexes to the east. Most of the commercial buildings range in height from one to four stories, while buildings in the industrial mill complexes range up to six stories in height. There are only a few wood-frame residential structures in the area, which typically predate the late 19th-century development period. The district includes the towns major civic buildings, including its town hall, public library, and post office. Buildings individually listed on the National Register include the Garbose Building, the Gardner News Building, the Lake Street Fire Station, and the Heywood-Wakefield Company Complex.</p><br>
<p>The Capt. Rodney J. Baxter House is an historic octagonal house at South and Pearl Streets in Barnstable, Massachusetts. Built in 1850, it is Barnstable&#39;s only example of an octagon house, built closely to designs advocated by Orson S. Fowler and briefly popular in the 1850s. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Baxter House stands one block off the downtown area of the village of Hyannis, on the south side of South Street at its junction with Pearl Street. The house is located on the west side of its lot, with the smaller carriage house to the east. The house is two stories, with stuccoed concrete walls 18 in thick, and a bracketed flat roof topped by an octagonal cupola. Two of its eight sides have entrances: the one facing the street is a simpler entrance sheltered by a bracketed hood, while that facing east is sheltered by a single-story porch extending across that facade, with a spindled balustrade and turned posts. Most of the other facades have two windows on each level; some have only one. The interior of each level has a central square chamber, around which are four smaller rectangular chambers, with the remaining triangular spaces used as closets. The carriage house, one story in height has a similar exterior finish and a smaller footprint, and is topped by smaller octagonal cupola. A two-leaf vehicle entrance is topped by a half-round fan; both the fan and the doors have strap woodwork decoration.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1850 for Rodney J. Baxter, a sea captain engaged mainly in the transatlantic trade. The house was built according to principles articulated by Orson Squire Fowler in The Octagon House, A Home for All, which formed the basis for the designs of numerous similar houses across the country. The house closely follows Fowlers guidelines, including the use of concrete for the walls. At the time of its listing on the National Register in 1987, it was still owned by Baxters descendants.</p><br>
<p>The Harry S. Truman Historic District is a National Historic Landmark District encompassing sites closely associated with US President Harry S. Truman in Independence, Missouri. It includes the Truman Home at 219 North Delaware, Truman&#39;s home for much of his adult life and now a centerpiece of the Harry S. Truman National Historic Site, and the Truman Presidential Library. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Wallace House (also called the Truman Home), 219 North Delaware Street, Independence, Missouri, would be the home of Harry S. Truman, on-and-off, after his marriage to Bess Wallace, on June 28, 1919 until his death on December 26, 1972. Bess Truman&#39;s maternal grandfather, George Porterfield Gates, built the house over a period of years from 1867 to 1895.</p><br>
<p>Besss mother, Madge Gates Wallace, wanted the couple to live there with her. Bess had lived with her mother after Besss father, David Willock Wallace, committed suicide in 1903, both of them moving in with Madges parents. Also in 1919, Harry was putting all of his money into the mens clothing store of Truman & Jacobson open at 104 West 12th St. in downtown Kansas City, so living at the Wallace home made good financial sense.</p><br>
<p>After the haberdashery failed, in 1922, Harry and Bess could not afford to move to a new home. So they would continue living there while Harry paid off the debts from the store. That same year he went into politics, and would eventually move to Washington, D.C. Whenever they came back to Missouri, the Wallace House was their home.</p><br>
<p>The Trumans only child Mary Margaret was born in the home on February 17, 1924. The site also includes the two adjacent homes of Mrs. Trumans brothers, and, across Delaware Street, the home of the Presidents favorite aunt and cousins. Guided tours of the site are conducted, and a visitors center is housed in a nearby historic firehouse.</p><br>
<p>After he retired in 1953, until the Truman Library was opened on July 6, 1957, the Wallace House was also his office.</p><br>
<p>Truman is one of the few Presidents who never owned a home. He would live with family members in his early life, then the Wallace House, rented apartments and houses in Washington (including 4701 Connecticut Avenue), Blair House (the official state visitors&#39; residence), and the White House, but never a house that he had purchased.</p><br>
<p>Bellahøj is an area situated 5 kilometres to the northwest of central Copenhagen, Denmark. It features the Bellahøj Houses, a functionalist housing project, as well as parkland with an open-air theatre. The hill is at 37 m the highest point in the city.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>King Charles X Gustav of Sweden&#39;s fortified camp Carlstad was located at the site during his siege of Copenhagen from 1658 to 1660. The area later belonged to a farm which moved out from the village of Utterslev in 1791. The estate was acquired by Copenhagen Municipality in 1932. The area was used for agricultural shows between 1938 and 1967. The old farmhouse was converted into a restaurant in 1938 and is still used as such. Copenhagen Municipality sold the building in 2005</p><br>
<p>The Bellahøj Houses contains 28 tower blocks. Each block has between 9 and 13 floors. The housing project was among the earliest in Scandinavia. It was completed in 1956.</p><br>
<p>The park contains an open-air theatre which was built from surplus earth from the construction of the Bellahøj Houses in the 1950s. It was designed by Carl Theodor Sørensen and seats 2,000 spectators.</p><br>
<p>In 1965, Copenhagen Municipality built an exhibition centre, Bella Center, which kept its name when it moved to its current location on Amager in 1975. The old building is now used as a sports centre under the name Grøndal MultiCenter.</p><br>
<p>Other buildings in the area include Bellahøj School, a hostel and Bellahøj Swimming Centre.</p><br>
<p>The park also contains three or four burial mounds from the Bronze Age.</p><br>
<p>In the southeastern corner is a small wooded area. The trees are mainly beech and ash.</p><br>
<p>The Copenhagen Historic Grand Prix auto race is held on the streets of Bellahøj.</p><br>
<p>Fort Belle Fontaine  is a former USA military base located in St. Louis County, Missouri, across the Mississippi and Missouri rivers from Alton, Illinois. The fort was the first USA military installation west of the Mississippi River, in the newly acquired Louisiana Territory, and served as a starting point for many expeditions to the American West.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Located on the south bank of the Missouri River, in present day Missouri, Fort Belle Fontaine was first a Spanish military post. After the Louisiana Purchase, by a treaty made between the United States Government, signed by William H. Harrison and representatives of the Native American Sac and Fox tribes (on November 3, 1804), the fort became a fur trading post of the United States Government. Rudolf Tiller served as factor and Colonel Thomas Hunt served as the military commander.</p><br>
<p>The trading post was discontinued after 1808, and from 1809 to 1826 the facility served as a United States military fort. During that time period, from about 1809 to 1815, the fort served as the headquarters of the Department of Louisiana, and was the regional Army headquarters during the War of 1812. Its sister forts were Fort Osage along the Missouri near modern Kansas City, which controlled trade with western Indians; and Fort Madison in what is now Iowa, which controlled trade of the Upper Mississippi.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>Part of the site of the fort is preserved as the Fort Belle Fontaine County Park, a unit of the park system of St. Louis County, Missouri. An archaeological site associated with the fort was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<p>The Utz Site, designated by the Smithsonian trinomial 23SA2, is a major Native American archaeological site in Saline County, Missouri, located on bluffs overlooking the Missouri River. Partially preserved in Van Meter State Park, it is the site of one of the largest early Contact Native villages in the region, which was occupied by the Missouri tribe from c. 15th to the late 18th centuries, and was probably the principal village area occupied by them at the time of their first contact with Europeans. The site was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Utz Site is located in central Missouri, north of the city of Marshall and south of Miami. The site is roughly 200 acre in size, most of which is privately owned land. A small portion is included in an outlying part of Van Meter State Park, whose main feature is the so-called Old Fort; the rest is on private land. It is set on a series of grassy hills, roughly 2 mi south of the present course of the Missouri River.</p><br>
<p>The site was first noted in the documentary record by French explorers, beginning with Pere Marquette, whose 1673 map placed "Messourit" Indians here. It appears to have been abandoned about 1728, around the time a French fort on the river to the north was also abandoned, as there is a distinct absence of European trade goods from after that time. The site has been known for some time, due in part to its proximity to the Old Fort&#39;s distinctive earthworks, and was first studied archaeologically in the 1940s.</p><br>
<p>The ancestral people preceding the Missouri tribe, who also lived on the Utz site, are defined as Oneota.</p><br>
<p>Sanborn Field is an agricultural experiment field, located on the University of Missouri campus in Columbia, Missouri. Established in 1888, it was the first facility in the United States intended to measure erosion and run-off for differing crops and agricultural practices. Work at Sanborn Field was influential in the establishment of soil conservation policy in the United States. The field was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964.</p><br>
<p>The field is currently managed as part of the Agricultural Extension Station under the university&#39;s School of Natural Resources.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Sanborn Field is located on the east side of the University of Missouri campus, on land purchased by the state for the university campus during the 1870s. It is roughly 7 acre in size, and is bounded by Bouchelle Avenue, Connaway Hall, Rollins Street, and College Avenue. Once in a rural area, the field is now surrounded by built-up portions of Columbia. It is subdivided into plots measuring 52.5 x.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The field was established by Dean J.W. Sanborn, who sought to understand the value of manure as a fertilizer, and the use of crop rotation. In 1914, emphasis was shifted away from manure and toward chemical fertilizers. Other experiments focused on the recovery of exhausted soils. The plots continue to be used today for long-term experimentation on differing schemes for the management of agricultural lands.</p><br>
<p>Chlortetracycline, the first tetracycline to be identified, was discovered in a sample of soil collected from plot 23 of Sanborn field in 1945.</p><br>
<p>The Petty–Roberts–Beatty House, also known as the Octagon House, is an historic octagonal house in Clayton, Alabama. The structure was one of only two antebellum octagonal houses built in Alabama and is the only one to survive.</p><br>
<p>This unusual house was built by Benjamin Franklin Petty starting in 1859 and completed in 1861. Petty was a carriage and furniture merchant who was a native of New York and pioneer settler of Clayton. The house was patterned after a design made popular by Orson Squire Fowler&#39;s book, A Home For All, or the Gravel Wall and Octagon Mode of Building which was published in 1854.</p><br>
<p>In April 1865, the house was used as staff headquarters for Union Cavalry Commander General Benjamin H. Grierson. Petty&#39;s heirs sold the property to Judge and Mrs. Bob T. Roberts in 1901. In 1981, under the administration of Mayor Edward C. Ventress, the property was purchased from the estate of Mary Roberts Beatty Armistead by the Town of Clayton which has overseen its renovation.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 21, 1974.</p><br>
<p>The Bradley–Wheeler House, also known as the Charles B. Wheeler House, is an historic house located at 25 Avery Place in Westport, Connecticut.</p><br>
<p>On July 5, 1984, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Current use</h2><br>
<p>The house is the headquarters of the Westport Historical Society and is operated as a Victorian-era historic house museum. On display are a furnished parlor room, dining room, bedroom and kitchen.</p><br>
<p>The Society also displays changing exhibits of local art, photography and history in the Betty & Ralph Sheffer Gallery and the Little Gallery, which are part of the house.</p><br>
<p>The Bradley Wheeler Cobblestone Barn, located behind the house, is a heptagonal (seven-sided) barn with a conical octagonal roof. The barn houses the Museum of Westport History, which includes a model of Westport in the 1860s, a model railroad train, photos, descriptions and artifacts about the town&#39;s industries, agriculture, history and famous residents, which include many authors, artists and actors. The barn is open seasonally and by appointment.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation efforts</h2><br>
<p>Although the house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the, it is not formally protected from demolition. As of September 2012, a study committee is preparing an application for.</p><br>
<p>The T. R. R. Cobb House built in 1842 is an historic octagon house originally located at 194 Prince Avenue in Athens, Georgia. On June 30, 1975, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The original part of the home of Thomas Reade Rootes Cobb is a Greek Revival four-over-four “Plantation Plain” built about 1834. The house given in 1844 to Cobb and his new wife, Marion Lumpkin, as a gift from his father-in-law, Joseph Henry Lumpkin, the first Chief Justice of the Georgia Supreme Court. Cobb made additions to the house of new rooms, and by 1852, it had acquired its octagon shape and two-story portico. Cobb died in 1862, and his widow remained in the house until 1873 when she sold it.</p><br>
<p>Until 1962, the house was used for a variety of purposes including rental property, a fraternity house, and a boarding house. In 1962, the Archdiocese of Atlanta bought the house to use as the rectory and offices for St. Joseph Catholic Church. In the 1980s, the parish was planning to demolish the house, and the Stone Mountain Memorial Association stepped forward in 1984, bought it, and relocated it to Stone Mountain Park in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The restoration of the house never took place because of lack of funding, and the house sat for nearly twenty years. In 2004 the Watson-Brown Foundation bought the house and returned it to Athens in the spring of 2005. The Watson-Brown Foundation restored the house to its appearance of 1850; in 2008, the Georgia Trust gave their work its Preservation Award for excellence in restoration.</p><br>
<p>The house is now open as a house museum located at 175 Hill Street in Cobbham historic district.</p><br>
<p>The Edward A. Brackett House is a historic octagon house at 290 Highland Avenue in Winchester, Massachusetts. Built in the early 1850s by sculptor Edward Augustus Brackett, and based on popular plans described by Orson Squire Fowler, it is Winchester&#39;s only octagonal house. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Bracket House is set back from the east side of Highland Avenue, a north-south route through the east side of Winchester. The house, as built in the early 1850s, is a distinctive design made by Brackett, an eccentric artist and naturalist, that adhered fairly closely to recommendations of Orson Squire Fowler in the first edition of The Octagon House: A Home for All, the work which set off a brief period of interest in those houses. It consisted of a series of four interlocking octagons, with varying heights and roof lines to create interesting visual effects. A fifth octagonal unit was added by Brackett in c. 1900 which added a shed space on the first floor and a bedroom on the second, along with a veranda. The building was originally finished in vertical board-and-batten siding and trimmed with then-fashionable Italianate brackets under its eaves, but these features were removed during the 1900 renovations, and the building exterior was redone in stucco.</p><br>
<h2>Edward A. Brackett</h2><br>
<p>Edward Brackett was a distinctive local personality, trained as a sculptor but also a poet and conservationist. He established a fish hatchery nearby, and ran a commercial nursery. He lived in the house until his death in 1908.</p><br>

<h2>Frazier-Pressley House</h2><br>
<p>The Frazier-Pressley House is a three-story, stuccoed brick building. It is believed that it was built for Captain James W. Frazier in 1852 to 1856. The house has three octagonal elements joined with a connecting hallway. There is a two story, brick extension to the rear. The facade has four three-story brick columns. The house has five brick chimneys. It originally had a widow&#39;s walk on the top of the central octagon. The house has eleven major rooms. Each of the floors of each octagon is a single room. The plan of the house is believed to be unique in the United States. The Historic American Buildings Survey has additional photographs and information on the Frazier-Pressley House.</p><br>
<h2>Cedar Springs ARP Church</h2><br>
<p>Cedar Springs ARP Church is a rectangular, brick church with hip roof. The brickwork is common bond with bonding every sixth course. The foundation is stone.

The church cemetery is adjacent to the church.</p><br>
<p>The Hiram Ramsdell House, also known as the Octagon House, is an historic octagonal house located at High and Perham streets in Farmington, Maine. Built in 1858 by mason Cyrus Ramsdell, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 4, 1973.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Octagon House was based on Orson Squire Fowler&#39;s designs of octagon houses. Fowler thought that a round shape was conducive to better air circulation and socialization. The Hiram Ramsdell House has an eight-sided glass cupola over the central staircase. The first floor has five rooms around the core while there are seven bedrooms on the second floor.</p><br>
<p>Cyrus Ramsdell occupied the house for 10 years before he sold it to his brother Hiram Ramsdell who lived in the house until his death in 1903. The house became apartments in the 20th century and fell into disrepair. In 1912, Wilbert G. Mallett, principal of the Farmington Normal School, now the University of Maine at Farmington, bought the house.</p><br>
<p>On February 26, 2012, the owner of the house, Deborah Mallett Cressall, died, and her family offered the Farmington Historical Society the chance to buy the house at a steeply reduced price. The Farmington Historical Society was given until May 30, 2013, to buy the house and quickly began a capital campaign to raise $250,000 for the historic home&#39;s purchase. That money would also fund the renovations to the roof and drainage work. The Farmington Historical Society acquired the house in May 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Pressey House is a historic octagon house at 32 Belgrade Road in Oakland, Maine. Built in 1855, it is one of a small number of octagon houses in the state, and one of the only ones with Greek Revival styling. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. It currently houses a bed and breakfast inn.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Pressey House is located in Oakland&#39;s village center on the south side of Belgrade Road (Maine State Route 11), overlooking the northernmost tip of Messalonskee Lake. Its main block is a two story wood frame octagon, from which an ell extends to the rear, joining it to a barn. All parts are finished in wooden clapboards, and rest on a granite block foundation. The street-facing front facade has pairs of sash windows on each floor, while most of the remaining sides have single sash windows. The main entrance is situated in the angled side just left of the front facade, and is flanked by sidelight windows and Doric pilasters, and is topped by an entablature and cornice.</p><br>
<p>The house was built sometime between 1854 and 1858 by H.T. Pressey, inspired by the works of Orson Squire Fowler, who promoted the design and construction of octagonal houses, which were a fad for about thirty years. Since many were built later in the period of the fad, they tend to have Italianate or Late Victorian features; this one, built during the earlier years of the fad, is unusual for having Greek Revival features.</p><br>
<p>Abbeville Historic District is a historic district in Abbeville, South Carolina. It includes several properties listed separately in the National Register of Historic Places, including the Abbeville County Courthouse and the Abbeville Opera House. The district was listed in National Register on September 14, 1972.</p><br>
<p>Originally, it was roughly bounded by Seaboard Coastline RR, SR 72, Rickey, Haight, Hemphill and Haigler Sts.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The district includes a large portion of Abbeville, the country seat of Abbeville County. The city, formed in the late 18th century, played a role in the political history of the area, including one of the first public meetings regarding succession from the Union, a precursor to the Civil War. Most of the commercial buildings in the district are representative of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily due to three large fires in 1872 - 1873. The subsequent redevelopment gave the town square its present appearance.</p><br>
<p>The original nomination form included sixteen sites that contributed to the historical significance of the district. These buildings included a mix of residential (ten) and commercial (five) structures, and greenspace (one):</p><br>
<p>Abbeville Press and Banner Building</p><br>
<p>Ace Hardware Building (1831)</p><br>
<p>Old Bank Building</p><br>
<p>Abbeville Opera House</p><br>

<p>Gary-DuPree House (c. 1885)</p><br>
<p>Shillito-Townsend House (c. 1830)</p><br>
<p>The boundary increase that occurred on May 7, 1984, added numerous properties to the district. The district now contains 37 properties of significance, 282 supporting properties, and 209 non-contributing properties for a total of 528 sites. Most of the structures are still standing, although the addresses used in the nomination form may have changed.</p><br>
<p>The Capt. George Scott House, also known locally as the Octagon House and the Collar Box House, is an historic octagon house on Federal Street in Wiscasset, Maine. Built in 1855, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 23, 1972.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Scott House stands on the east side of Federal Street, overlooking the Sheepscot River to the east, a short way north of the center of Wiscasset. It is a 2-1/2 story masonry structure, built out of brick with sandstone trim. A single wood-frame ell extends to the rear of the house, toward the river, where it is joined to a barn that appears to be 5/8 of an octagon. The main block is covered by an eight-sided roof with an octagonal cupola at its center, with extended eaves adorned with modillions. The main entrance faces the street, and is sheltered by a porch supported by four chamfered square posts and covered by a modillioned roof. Windows are set in rectangular openings, with small single-pane windows in the upper half-story that have rounded corners. The interior retains many original features, and remnants of others, such as a part of a dumbwaiter used to bring food from the original basement kitchen to the dining room.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1855, and was inspired by the work of Orson Squire Fowler, who promoted the design and construction of octagon houses, resulting in a construction fad in the 1850s and 1860s. It was built for George Scott, a Wiscasset native and successful ships captain. A later resident was Edith Augusta Sawyer, an author of childrens books.</p><br>
<p>Oseetah Lake is an 826 acre lake with a mean depth of 3 ft. It is in New York State&#39;s Adirondack Park, 2+1/2 mi south of the village of Saranac Lake on the Saranac River. It is located mostly in the town of Harrietstown, but its easternmost portion extends into the town of North Elba.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Saranac River departs the lower locks below Lower Saranac Lake and flows northeast into Oseetah Lake. The river exits Oseetah at the north end of the lake and flows northeast to Lake Flower and Saranac Lake. Oseetah is also fed by Kiwassa Lake. Principal islands in Oseetah Lake are Wayotah, Wapiti, Watch, Haven of Rest, Papoose and Birch. Its shoreline is mostly privately held.</p><br>
<p>It is part of the route of the Adirondack Canoe Classic, also known as the Ninety-miler, along with the 740 mi Northern Forest Canoe Trail that runs from Old Forge, New York to Fort Kent, Maine.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>According to legend, Oseetah was an Indian Princess. Upon learning the Indian chief she loved (Wayotah) was betrothed to another, she threw herself off a cliff into a lake and was magically transformed into a water lily. In the Huron language Oseetah means "Water Lily".</p><br>
<p>Originally named Miller Pond, Oseetah Lake was formed when the dam across the Saranac River at Saranac Lake, that also forms Lake Flower, was raised to generate electric power by Paul Smith in 1904. At that time, as shown by maps of the period, a smaller pond, Ray Pond, also became part of the new, larger Oseetah - in what is now the eastern portion of the lake near the Essex County line.</p><br>
<p>The James L. Lawther House is an octagon house in Red Wing, Minnesota, United States. The owner, James Lawther, built it after he visited Dubuque, Iowa and toured the Langworthy House there. At the time, the Langworthy House was the grandest house of its type on the upper Mississippi River. The Lawther House was built in 1857, with an addition in 1870. Its location, at the corner of Third and Hill Streets, has been termed "one of the most architecturally significant intersections in Minnesota" and is part of the Red Wing Residential Historic District. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>James Lawther was a successful businessman and merchant in Red Wing. Besides the house, he built the Gladstone Building in downtown. He also contributed to civic causes such as the Carnegie-Lawther Library, the YMCA, and the park on Barn Bluff. The Gladstone Building is listed on the National Register, and the library is a contributing property to the Red Wing Mall Historic District.</p><br>
<p>Now serving as a bed and breakfast, the all-brick home features an ornate cupola and central chimney.</p><br>
<p>The Other C. Wamsley House built in 1909 is an historic octagon house located at 200 North 5th Street in Hamilton, Montana, United States. On August 26, 1988, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story wood frame house built on a rubble stone foundation. It has a wraparound front porch, and a one-story portion to the rear may once have been an open porch. Porch pillars are Doric columns on stone piers.</p><br>
<p>It was home for Other C. Wamsley, a contractor and carpenter, during 1908 to 1918. A 1987 inventory writeup notes:The unusual architecture discloses the inquiring mind possessed by Mr. Wamsley who was also unafraid to attempt the unusual. Mr. Wamsley had served in the armed forces. He initiated the first civic Hallowe&#39;en celebration here and the Community Sing during World War I.</p><br>
<p>The Inkwell, also known as The Octagon House, is an historic octagonal house located at 30868 US 264 in Engelhard, Hyde County, North Carolina on Lake Mattamuskeet. It was built about 1855 by Dr. William T. Sparrow. The house is an eight-sided, two-story, frame dwelling, sitting on a brick pier foundation. Its boardwall construction and use of verticals only around the doors and windows follows Howlands cottage design in Orson S. Fowlers 1848 book entitled The Octagon House, a Home for All. A restoration of the Octagon House in the 1980s returned its appearance to its earlier conception using plaster interior walls, a stuccoed exterior and a wood shingle roof. The house features a central octagonal chimney of stuccoed brick.</p><br>
<p>On September 1, 1978, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. It is located in the Lake Landing Historic District.</p><br>
<p>A Mattamuskeet apple orchard has been planted on the grounds of The Octagon House. Trees were grafted from the wood of surviving fruit trees that were featured in nursery catalogues of the area during the mid-19th century.</p><br>
<p>Several Open Houses are held throughout the year and special group tours may be arranged by appointment.</p><br>
<p>The Endeavour Strait is a strait running between the Australian mainland Cape York Peninsula and Prince of Wales Island in the extreme south of the Torres Strait, in northern Queensland, Australia. It was named in 1770 by explorer James Cook, after his own vessel, The Endeavour, and he used the strait as passage out to the Indian Ocean on his voyage.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Endeavour Strait is approximately 30 mi in length from its northernmost tip to its southern extremities, and varies from 2 to 6 mi in breadth. The strait is, on average, between 7 and deep, and its sandy floor is carpetted with a moderately thick layer of coral. The strait is generally safe to travel through, and is not littered with any major sunken dangers or foul ground, although, for larger vessels, there is potential danger at the strait&#39;s western end, at the point that it connects with the Arafura Sea, where the depth of the water is only around 3 fathom.</p><br>
<p>The danger that this shallow western point presents was a barrier that the Dutch explorers of Australia never overcame in their earlier sea explorations of the region. If they had been able to pass through the Endeavour Strait at the time, it is likely they would have discovered eastern Australia approximately one hundred and fifty years before the British did,</p><br>
<p>The shallow western end of Endeavour Strait was also responsible for the wrecking of the cutter, America, in November 1844. All on board were supposedly drowned, except 13-year-old Scottish girl Barbara Thompson who was rescued by Torres Strait Islanders living on Prince of Wales Island, the Kaurareg people, with whom she lived for five years.</p><br>
<p>Today, the strait is travelled sparsely by passing small vessels, and its western side is often used as a bank for these ships. Due to the relatively shallow average depth of the strait, especially at its westernmost extremities, and the dangers that this presents, there have been recent calls for the body to be deepened, but there are no plans for this at the present time.</p><br>
<p>Beata Island  is a small island on the Caribbean Sea, located 7 km southwest from Cape Beata. Some 12 km SW of it lies the smaller Alto Velo Island. It is part of the Dominican Republic and is roughly triangle-shaped and fairly flat, with an approximate area of 27 km&sup2;.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Beata Island was discovered by Europeans during the second voyage of Christopher Columbus in 1494. Originally populated by Taíno natives, the island became a colonial asset of the greater Spanish Empire. The island was the site of various military engagements between the Spanish and roving pirates.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The landscape is somewhat varied, with mangrove swamps on parts of the North shore, sandy coves and beaches on the West coast. Most of the interior of the island is covered by various subtypes of xeric semi-deciduous limestone forests. Geologically, the island is basically made out of limestone, the erosion of which causes very jagged surfaces on exposed rocks (called diente de perro or dogtooth), and several sinkholes and cenotes. Beata Island is currently unhabitated, save for short stays by fishermen from the mainland.</p><br>
<p>The Charles Butler House is a historic octagon house in the city of Franklin, Ohio, United States. Constructed during the middle of the nineteenth century, it was originally home to one of the city&#39;s most prominent men, and it has been named a historic site due to its unusual design.</p><br>
<p>In its earliest years, the city of Franklin was heavily influenced by the Schenck family, who sponsored much of its early development. A member of a later generation of the family, John N. Schenck, arranged for the construction of the present house in 1860. At the time, Orson Squire Fowlers ideal of the octagon house was at the height of its popularity, and Schencks use of the style demonstrates his wealth at the time. Rather than living in it, Schenck gave it to his daughter and son-in-law, Charles Butler, who occupied a leading place in Franklin&#39;s governmental and commercial circles.</p><br>
<p>Built of brick, the Butler House is covered with a metal roof. The architecture includes numerous distinctive details, including the four-over-four windows placed in pairs, the wooden cornice with brackets, and the molding around the lintels. Because the house sits atop a small hill, a person inside is able to view a panorama of the city as well as the Great Miami River.</p><br>
<p>In 1982, the Butler House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its distinctive architecture; it is one of four National Register-listed locations in the city, along with the prehistoric Hill-Kinder Mound, the Mackinaw Historic District, and the Old Log Post Office. Significant to its designation was its rarity; it is one of two octagon houses in Franklin, but only one other such house remains anywhere else in southwestern Ohio, although the Goldsmith Coffeen House in Lebanon is built as a hexagon.</p><br>
<p>The John Hosford House is a historic octagon house located along USA Route 20 in Monroeville, Ohio, United States. Built at an unknown point in the mid-nineteenth century, it has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<p>Monroeville&#39;s first settlers arrived in 1816, and the village was platted in the following year, but incorporation was achieved only in 1868. During the years of slow growth, merchant John Hosford settled in the community, and he accumulated enough wealth to erect a fanning mill in the village in 1870. By this time, he had built his house in a style popular for only a short while, the octagon mode; its precise date of construction is uncertain, with traditional accounts specifying 1856 and later studies suggesting 1862.</p><br>
<p>Hosford&#39;s house is a brick structure with ancillary elements of concrete. A true octagon, it features two windows on each side; a veranda adorns the sides facing the street, and a belvedere crowns the roof. The overall design mixes architectural styles; Greek Revival influence is clear in the construction of the main entrance, but the rest of the house is dominated by the Italianate style, including the arches and braces that lend the veranda the appearance of an arcade. Inside, each floor consists of five chambers: a spiral staircase at the center, surrounded by four rectangular rooms.</p><br>
<p>In May 1974, the John Hosford House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying based on its historically significant architecture. It was added to the Register little more than two months after Huron County&#39;s first such locations, the John Wright Mansion near Bellevue and the West Main Street Historic District in Norwalk. Two other buildings in Monroeville, the Seth Brown House and Zion Episcopal Church, were listed on the Register on the same day and the Hosford House.</p><br>
<p>The Sweetest Heart of Mary Roman Catholic Church is located at 4440 Russell Street  in Detroit, Michigan, in the Forest Park neighborhood on the city&#39;s central East side. The Gothic Revival cathedral styled church is the largest of the Roman Catholic churches in the City of Detroit. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1974 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. It, along with St. Albertus Roman Catholic Church.4 miles east on East Canfield Street and St. Josaphat Roman Catholic Church.3 miles west at East Canfield Street and Chrysler Drive served the large Polish community through most of the twentieth century. In a diocesan reorganization instituted by Archbishop Allen Vigneron in 2013, Sweetest Heart of Mary joined with St. Josephat to form Mother of Divine Mercy Parish.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The rise of Detroit brought in many Polish immigrants into the city in the 19th century; by the mid-1850s, the number of Polish families who had settled in the city was significant. These Émigrés from Poland first attended St. Joseph&#39;s parish, which was at the time a German-speaking church. However, the Polish congregants were dissatisfied, and agitated for a Polish church. In 1871, three hundred or so Polish families organized St. Albertus Parish and built a frame church at St. Aubin and Canfield Avenue. In 1882, the charismatic Father became pastor of St. Albertus. Kolasinski organized the parish to construct the present St. Albertus Church, which was dedicated in 1885. In November 1885, the parish became factionalized; Kolasinski was reassigned. When Reverend John Foley became the new Bishop of Detroit in 1888, Kolasinski returned to the city and began the Parish of the Sweetest Heart of Mary outside the jurisdiction of the Detroit Diocese. Shortly afterward, the congregation added the school structure on Canfield, which still stands behind the church.</p><br>
<p>Kolasinski negotiated to bring his flock, numbering nearly 4,000 families, into the fold of the Catholic Church. The Panic of 1893 hit the parish hard. Parish members secured a loan in order to keep the building. Eventually, Rome directed the bishop of Detroit to make peace with Kolasinski, and the congregation of the Sweetest Heart of Mary was officially received into the Diocese of Detroit February 18, 1894.</p><br>
<p>Kolasinski died in 1898. He was temporarily succeeded by the Kashubian priest Rev. Jan Romuald Byzewski OFM, previously pastor of Detroit&#39;s Saint Francis of Assisi Parish. When Father Byzewski rejoined the Franciscan Order in 1899, he was succeeded by the assistant, Rev. Joseph Folta, who served as pastor until 1919. Father Folta built a second school, constructed a permanent rectory, and built an ornamental fence about the church. Folta was succeeded by Rev. Joseph Casimir Plagens, who served at Sweetest Heart from 1919 until 1935, and later became Bishop of Marquette and then Bishop of Grand Rapids. Plagens added embellishments the church interior and built a permanent convent for the Sisters of St. Joseph, who staffed the church school.</p><br>
<p>During Father Plagens&#39;s tenure, the parish flourished. The church schools were filled with almost 1,500 pupils, and the church was the social as well as spiritual center of the community. Over time, with shifting demographics, membership waned. This trend accelerated through the tenures of the next three pastors: Monsignor Michael Grupa (1935 to 1949), Rev. Adam Koprowski (1949 to 1959), and Rev. Boguslaus Poznański (1959 to 1976).</p><br>
<p>In 1976, Rev. Bohdan Kosicki joined Sweetest Heart and began a building restoration and implemented a plan which revived church membership. He reached out and established ties to earlier parishioners, raising funds for the restoration. The stained glass windows and organ were restored, and much of the main altar was renovated. In addition, the convent and fencing were restored, the second school building was demolished, and the historic old school building was stabilized. Kosicki&#39;s work was carried on through the tenure of Rev. Alphons Gorecki, who served from 1981 through 2002. Other work included refurbishing the interior, repairing plasterwork and statues and upgrading electrical wiring.</p><br>
<p>From 2002 until early 2010, Fr. Mark A. Borkowski was pastor and continued the restoration and revival of Sweetest Heart of Mary. During this period the Annual Pierogi Festival greatly expanded to become the largest religious festival in the City of Detroit. July 1, 2011, Fr. Darrell Roman became the new administrator in addition to being administrator for the other two churches in the cluster, St. Joseph, and St. Josaphat.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>In 1890, construction began one "what would become the largest Catholic Church in Michigan." Spier and Rohns designed the present structure. Kolasinski had formed the parish and raised the building funds for the rapidly growing parish. The cornerstone-laying ceremony was held on June 5, 1892, and on December 24, 1893, after construction costs of over $125,000, the church was officially dedicated. More than 10,000 people attended the dedication ceremony.</p><br>
<p>Sweetest Heart of Mary is one of the largest and perhaps most impressive Gothic Revival churches in the Midwest. The church is constructed of red brick in a cruciform shape with a cross gabled roof. The facade on Russell boasts a rusticated stone lower level with a triple portal, a pointed arch structure, and a stone balustrade atop everything. Two towers flank the entrance, topped with identical Spires, which are capped with buttresses and detailed with crosses.</p><br>
<p>The church includes several impressive stained glass windows created by Detroit Stained Glass Works, the successor to the well known firm of Friederichs and Staffin. The major transept window illustrates the Holy Family in Saint Josephs workshop. Eight windows lining the nave portray Christ, Mary and several saints; this set of windows won a major prize at the 1893 Worlds Columbian Exposition in Chicago.</p><br>
<p>There are three related building—large rectory, a convent that could house several dozen nuns and a large school building—which make up a local historic district.</p><br>
<p>The 1893 Austin Pipe organ Opus No. 2 (2 manuals and 20 ranks) is the oldest Austin Organ still in service, and the oldest surviving electro-pneumatic in the state of Michigan.</p><br>
<p>4,077-acre Long Lake is a 14 mi lake in the town of Long Lake in Hamilton County, New York in the United States; the average width is half a mile. It is part of the Raquette River, which flows in a straight, northeast-trending valley. NY 30 crosses at a narrows 4 mi from the south end where the hamlet of Long Lake is located. There are two public beaches and a state boat launch. More than half of the shoreline is part of the New York State Forest preserve. The northern end of the lake is undeveloped. The lake is also part of the 740-mile Northern Forest Canoe Trail, which begins in Old Forge, NY and ends in Fort Kent, ME.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Settled by the 1830s, Long Lake was isolated, except by water, until the New York Central Railroad extended a spur to Sabbatis at the north town line. The area was frequented by sportsmen and tourists, and the earliest settlers were hunting guides and boat builders. Long Lake was part of a water route that connected the Fulton Chain Lakes with the Saint Lawrence River drainage. This route was frequently traveled by guideboat or canoe in the mid-late 19th century. At that time, "a typical trip might start at the Saranacs, from which a party could make its way to the Raquette River via Indian Carry and Stoney Creek." The trip continued "via the lakes accessible from it— Long, Raquette, Forked, Blue and Tupper."</p><br>
<p>USA Senator Orville H. Platt had a summer camp on Long Lake in the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>In 1925 Ephraim Sklyansky, CEO of Amtorg Trading Corporation (an unofficial representative office of the USSR in the US) and Leon Trotsky&#39;s right hand, died on Long Lake in a boating accident with his colleague Isai Khurgin, the previous director of Amtorg. The accident was suspected to be a murder organized by GPU.</p><br>
<p>There was once a proposal to link Long Lake with the Hudson River by way of a canal, which was started but abandoned.</p><br>
<p>Quinta da Regaleira is an estate located near the historic center of Sintra, Portugal. It is classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO within the "Cultural Landscape of Sintra". Along with the other palaces in the area such as the Quinta do Relógio, Pena, Monserrate and Seteais palaces, it is considered one of the principal tourist attractions of Sintra. The property consists of a romantic palace and chapel, and a luxurious park that features lakes, grottoes, wells, benches, fountains, and a vast array of exquisite constructions. The palace is also known as "The Palace of Monteiro the Millionaire", which is based on the nickname of its best known former owner, António Augusto Carvalho Monteiro.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The land that is now Quinta da Regaleira had many owners over the years. It belonged to the Viscountess of Regaleira, a family of wealthy merchants from Porto, when it was sold in 1892 to Carvalho Monteiro for 25,000 réis. Monteiro was eager to build a bewildering place where he could collect symbols that reflected his interests and ideologies. With the assistance of the Italian architect Luigi Manini, he recreated the 4-hectare estate. In addition to other new features, he added enigmatic buildings that allegedly held symbols related to alchemy, Masonry, the Knights Templar, and the Rosicrucians. The architecture Manini designed evoked Roman, Gothic, Renaissance, and Manueline styles. The construction of the current estate commenced in 1904 and much of it was completed by 1910.</p><br>
<p>The estate was later sold in 1942 to Waldemar d&#39;Orey, who used it as private residence for his extensive family. He ordered repairs and restoration work for the property. In 1987, the estate was sold, once again, to the Japanese Aoki Corporation and ceased to serve as a residence. The corporation kept the estate closed to the public for ten years, until it was acquired by the Sintra Town Council in 1997. Extensive restoration efforts were promptly initiated throughout the estate. It finally opened to the public in June 1998 and began hosting cultural events. In August of that same year, the Portuguese Ministry of Culture classified the estate as "public interest property".</p><br>
<h2>Palace</h2><br>
<p>The Regaleira Palace (Palácio da Regaleira) bears the same name as the entire estate. The structure&#39;s façade is characterized by exuberantly Gothic pinnacles, gargoyles, capitals, and an impressive octagonal tower.</p><br>
<p>The palace contains five floors (a ground floor, three upper floors, and a basement). The ground floor consists of a series of hallways that all connect the living room, dining room, billiards room, balcony, some smaller rooms, and several stairways. In turn, the first upper floor contains bedrooms and a dressing room. The second upper floor contains Carvalho Monteiros office, and the bedrooms of female servants. The third upper floor contains the ironing room and a smaller room with access to a terrace. Finally, the basement contains the male servants bedrooms, the kitchen (which featured an elevator for lifting food to the ground floor), and storage rooms.</p><br>
<h2>Chapel</h2><br>
<p>The Regaleira Chapel is a Roman Catholic Chapel, and stands in front of the palaces main façade. Its architecture is akin to the palaces. The interior of the chapel is richly decorated with frescoes, stained glass windows and lavish stuccoes. The frescoes contain representations of Teresa of Ávila and Saint Anthony, as well as other religious depictions. Meanwhile, the floor itself offers depictions of the armillary sphere of the Portuguese discoveries and the Order of Christ Cross, surrounded by pentagrams. Despite its relatively small size, the chapel has several floors.</p><br>
<h2>Park</h2><br>
<p>Buildings- A) Regaleira Palace; B) Regaleira Chapel; C) Greenhouse; D) Cultursintra Foundation offices; E) Coach Houses; F) Arts Workshop</p><br>
<p>Open-air structures- G) Chimeras Court; H) Loggia; I) Ibis Fountain; J) Fount of Abundance; K) Regaleira Tower; M) Terrace of the Celestial Worlds and Reservoir; N) Guardians Entrance</p><br>

<p>Lakes- U) Unnamed Lake; V) Waterfall Lake;</p><br>
<p>Much of the four hectares of land in the surrounding estate consists of a densely treed park lined with myriad roads and footpaths. The woods are neatly arranged in the lower parts of the estate, but are left wild and disorganized in the upper parts, reflecting Carvalho Monteiro&#39;s belief in primitivism. Decorative, symbolic, and lively structures can be found throughout the park.</p><br>
<h3>Tunnels</h3><br>
<p>The park also contains an extensive and enigmatic system of tunnels, which have multiple entry points that include: grottoes, the chapel, Waterfall Lake, and "Leda&#39;s Cave," which lies beneath the Regaleira Tower. The "Initiation Well" (see next section) connects to other tunnels via a series of underground walkways.</p><br>
<h3>Initiation Wells</h3><br>
<p>The Initiation Wells (AKA initiatic wells or inverted towers) are two wells on the property that better resemble underground towers lined with stairs. These wells never served as water sources. Instead, they were used for ceremonial purposes that included Tarot initiation rites. The tunnels described above connect these wells to one another, in addition to various caves and other monuments located around the park. Of the two wells, the larger one contains a 27-meter spiral staircase with several small landings. The spacing of these landings, combined with the number of steps in the stairs, are linked to Tarot mysticism. The smaller well contains straight stairs that connect a series of ring-shaped floors to one another. This well is also called the Unfinished Well. A structure similar to these wells can be found in the Pozzo di S. Patrizio in Italy.</p><br>
<h3>Lakes, Fountains and the Aquarium</h3><br>
<p>Bodies of water can be found in several places in the park. Two artificial lakes and several fountains were added by Monteiro. One of the most interesting and extravagant among them is the Aquarium, built as if it were naturally embedded in a large boulder. It was once considered the most important naturalist property in Regaleira. However, the Aquarium is no longer used and is poorly maintained.</p><br>
<h2>Trivia</h2><br>
<p>Fadista Mariza shot her video for "Cavaleiro Monge" at the palace and its surrounding grounds.</p><br>
<p>Quinta da Regaleira is referenced in José Rodrigues dos Santos&#39; book Codex 632.</p><br>

<p>Iskanderkul is a mountain lake of glacial origin in Tajikistan&#39;s Sughd Province. It lies at an altitude of 2,195 m on the northern slopes of the Gissar Range in the Fann Mountains. Triangular in shape, it has a surface area of 3.4 km&sup2; and is up to 72 m deep. Claimed to be one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in the former Soviet Union, it is a popular tourist destination.</p><br>
<p>It was formed by the congestion of the Saratogh river. It is 134 km from Dushanbe and 23 km from the Dushanbe—Khujand road.</p><br>
<p>The lake takes its name from Alexander the Great: Iskander is the Persian pronunciation of Alexander, and kul is lake in Tajik.</p><br>
<p>The outflow of the lake is the Iskander Darya, which joins the Yaghnob River to form the Fan Darya, a major left tributary of the Zeravshan River.</p><br>
<h2>Birds</h2><br>
<p>A 300 km&sup2; tract of land including the lake and surrounding mountains has been designated a nature reserve. As well as the lake itself, habitats found in the reserve include rivers, water meadows, broad-leaved and juniper forests, mountain shrubland and sub-alpine meadows. Over half of the reserve, comprising 177 km&sup2, has been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area because it supports significant numbers of the populations of various bird species, either as residents, or as breeding or passage migrants. These include Himalayan snowcocks, saker falcons, cinereous vultures, yellow-billed choughs, Hume&#39;s larks, sulphur-bellied warblers, wallcreepers, Himalayan rubythroats, white-winged redstarts, white-winged snowfinches, alpine accentors, rufous-streaked accentors, brown accentors, water pipits, fire-fronted serins, plain mountain-finches, crimson-winged finches, red-mantled rosefinches and white-winged grosbeaks.</p><br>
<p>Ercildoun, population about 100, is an unincorporated community in East Fallowfield Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States. The hamlet was founded by Quakers and was an early center of the abolitionist movement. In 1985 the entire hamlet, including 31 properties, was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places. Of these properties two were vacant land, 14 were significant buildings, ten were contributing buildings, and five buildings, built in the 1950s, were non-contributing.</p><br>
<p>The name "Ercildoun" was taken from the poem, "Thomas the Rhymer" by Sir Walter Scott when the hamlet&#39;s post office opened in 1850, but it was misspelled "Ercildown" until 1854. The main character in the poem was Thomas of Ercildoun, from Ercildoune, Scotland.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Land in the current hamlet was first settled by Quaker farmers in the final years of the eighteenth century. In 1811 the current Fallowfields Friends Meeting House was built, which, with the adjoining cemetery, People&#39;s Hall, and the former post office - now a grocery store, forms the center of town. Arising from Quaker beliefs, the abolitionist East Fallowfield Anti-Slavery Society was formed in 1835 with James Fulton Jr. as the recording secretary, and 33 other members. Fulton became active as an officer of the county and state anti-slavery societies and attended national meetings on abolition. In its first annual report the Society stated that they had distributed 3,000 books and tracts and gathered signatures petitioning Congress to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia and the territories.</p><br>
<p>The Anti-Slavery Society met in the Fallowfield Meetinghouse until the winter of 1844, when Abby Kelley and Charles Burleigh spoke at a meeting that was broken up by a mob of anti-abolitionists. About this time abolitionist halls were burned down in Philadelphia and Lancaster, both less than 40 miles away. The Quaker Meeting membership then banned the Anti-Slavery group from its meetinghouse. In 1845 an association of abolitionists purchased the land and built a hall next to the Meetinghouse, which they called the Free Hall and later the People&#39;s Hall.</p><br>
<p>Ercildoun became known as center of the Underground Railroad with groups as large as 33 escaped slaves passing through town. Ercildoun&#39;s location about 15 miles north of the slave state of Maryland contributed to this activity, and the hamlet fed both the northern and southern Pennsylvania branches of the Underground Railroad both before and during the Civil War. Gideon Pierce and James Fulton, Jr. were among the best known local conductors of the Underground Railroad. Escaped slave Jacob Carter and his brothers Joseph and Richard passed through during their escape. Jacob later bought land and began his ministry in the hamlet.</p><br>
<p>After the Civil War, former slaves settled in the hamlet and People&#39;s Hall served as a grange, church, library, town hall and housed the Fallowfield Historical Society.</p><br>
<p>Gideon Pierce built a store on across from the Friends Meeting House in 1818. The Webster family bought the store in 1863 and operated it until 1987. The store still stands and remains active today as Triple Fresh Market. The name "Ercildoun" was first used by Pierce when his store housed the village&#39;s post office in 1850.</p><br>
<p>The July 1877 "Ercildoun Tornado" was so violent that it was the subject of a lecture at the French Academy of Sciences in 1878. Fourteen buildings were destroyed.</p><br>
<p>In 1894 an African-American congregation built the Christ Disciple Church.</p><br>

<p>The Octagon House House Museum, also known as the John Moffat House, is a stucco octagonal house in Hudson, in the USA state of Wisconsin. The home was built in 1855 by John Moffatt  and his wife, Nancy Bennet , who had moved to Hudson from Ithaca, New York the previous year with their ten-year-old daughter. Typical for the time, the Moffats traveled by train to Galena, Illinois where they took a steamboat to Prescott, Wisconsin. Then they traveled by horse and wagon, north to Hudson, which was a prosperous frontier town on the Saint Croix River, benefiting from lumber and flour mills. Two of Nancy&#39;s sisters already lived in the community when they arrived. Moffat initially was clerk of the United States Land Office for the Chippewa District and later practiced law before being elected a Saint Croix County judge in 1869. Their home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The house is now owned and operated by the St. Croix County Historical Society as the Octagon House Museum, a historic house museum furnished in mid-19th-century style. The society purchased the home in 1964.</p><br>
<p>Koritnik  is a wooded, limestone mountain, located in northeastern Albania and southwest Kosovo between the cities of Kukës and Prizren. The mountain is entirely surrounded by branches of the White Drin river. The highest point of Koritnik massif, Maja e Pikëllimës reaches an elevation of 2,393 m above the Adriatic. Gryka e Vanavës  separates the mountain from Gjallica. The gorge has a length of 3.5 km and a width of 30 m, and a deepth of about 300 m.</p><br>
<p>The massif falls within the Balkan mixed forests terrestrial ecoregion of the Palearctic Temperate broadleaf and mixed forest. The slopes of the mountain meadows are mostly covered with coniferous forests. The Koritnik mountain because of its high pastures contains a population of 60 chamois.</p><br>
<p>Koritnik falls within the Korab-Koritnik Nature Park, forming the European Green Belt. It has been recognised as a Important Plant Areas of international importance by Plantlife.</p><br>
<p>The Stephen Harnsberger House, also known as the Harnsberger Octagonal House, is an historic octagon house located on Holly Avenue in Grottoes, Virginia.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1856, three years after the publication of A Home For All, or the Gravel Wall and Octagon Mode of Building by Orson Squire Fowler. Rather than following the tenets of the book, which suggested a radially-oriented plan with functions for every side, the plan of the Harnsberger house is more akin to a traditional double-pile center-hall house of the kind that was prevalent in Virginia at the time. The center hall is flanked by two very deep rooms, with smaller rooms behind, divided from the front rooms by chimneys. On both the basement and second floor levels a central passage extends the depth of the house. This is in contrast to the wedge-shaped rooms advocated by Fowler.</p><br>
<p>The house exhibits Greek Revival detailing, typical of the time. Interior woodwork is mostly intact. The house received an ell addition to the rear housing a kitchen by 1890.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 8, 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Abijah Thomas House is an historic octagon house located southwest of Marion, Virginia, United States, on VA 657. Built in 1856, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 28, 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Abijah Thomas House is an octagon house, which is part of the trend of octagon architecture of 1850s America. Interior design wise, the house features a rare example of painted ashlar upon plaster wall. Other interior touches include graining, marbleizing and stenciling.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was completed in 1857, The house and the property around it consisted of 400 acres, and was assessed at being worth $5,000 in 1857.</p><br>
<h3>Today</h3><br>
<p>The house sat abandoned for many years and is currently owned by a local resident who seeks to renovate it back to its historical style. Ghosts have been reported as being seen on site, specifically in the home&#39;s storage room, called the "dark room," by locals. Reports have claimed the appearance of abused slaves, including the sound of shackles moving and blood dripping down interior walls. Despite local beliefs that slaves were abused within the "dark room," historian Mark Sturgill believes that stains on the floorboards of the storage room were caused by food spills from canned jars kept in the room, not from blood stains.</p><br>

<p>The Gallaher House built in 1914 is an historic octagon house located at 600 12th Street in Bridgeport, Washington. The house was listed on the National Register on August 1, 1975, and the listing was amended on June 27, 1995, following the house&#39;s relocation five miles from its original location.</p><br>
<p>In 2006, the nearby town of Pateros, Washington paid an earnest money deposit to buy the house with the idea that it would be relocated there for use as a visitors center. The deadline for completing the deal passed without further action. At a meeting on August 21, 2006, the city council of Paternos decided to abandon plans to purchase the house even though the state Department of Transportation had provided a $140,000 grant to use toward its purchase.</p><br>
<p>Mab&#39;s Cross, in Wigan, Greater Manchester, is a stone cross probably dating from the 13th century with its first recorded mention taking place in 1277. It is one of four stone crosses originally used as waymarkers along the medieval route from Wigan to Chorley. The cross no longer stands in its original position, having been moved across the road in 1922 as part of a road widening scheme.</p><br>
<h2>Structure</h2><br>
<p>Mab&#39;s cross is a scheduled ancient monument. The monument is the remains of a 13th-century boundary cross in Standishgate, Wigan. The cross was moved from a site on the opposite side of the road in the early-20th century. The grade II* listed structure has a metre-square, 0.57 m high dressed plinth made of two courses of rectangular gritstone blocks. Mounted diagonally on the plinth is a large square cross base with the stump of the cross shaft set into it. On the plinth is a metal plaque relating the legend of Lady Mabel Bradshaigh.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Legend</h3><br>
<p>According to local legend the cross is named after Lady Mabel Bradshaw. The legend, recorded in a family history published in 1645, says that when Sir William Bradshaw, her husband, failed to return from the crusades she married a Welsh knight. When Bradshaw unexpectedly returned from a ten-year campaign, he murdered his wife&#39;s new husband in Newton-le-Willows while he was trying to escape. Lady Mabel did penance for her bigamy by walking from Haigh Hall to a stone cross in Wigan "bare footed and bare legged" once a week for as long as she lived.</p><br>
<h3>Reality</h3><br>
<p>Sir William Bradshaw and his wife were real people. William Bradshaw married Mabel Norris, the heiress of Blackrod and Haigh, in 1295. His absence was not due to a pilgrimage or crusades. On 1 November 1315, Adam Banastre, Henry de Lea, and Sir William Bradshaw rebelled against Thomas, 2nd Earl of Lancaster in support of the king. The rebellion ended when the Deputy Sheriff of Lancashire defeated the rebels in battle north of the River Ribble. Bradshaw escaped and was outlawed. In 1319, it was assumed he was dead but he returned to his estates after the Earl of Lancasters execution following defeat at the Battle of Boroughbridge on 16 March 1322. He was convicted and imprisoned in Kenilworth Castle, and later Pontefract Castle, before he was released in 1324. Rather than killing his wifes husband at Newton-le-Willows, it was Sir William Bradshaw who was slain there on 16 August 1333 in a fight with members of the Radcliffe family. There is no evidence that Lady Mabel remarried, either before or after her husbands death, or that she did penance at the cross. After her husbands death she funded the creation of two chantry chapels at Blackrod and Wigan. A figure kneeling before a wayside cross featured on her tomb and within 50 years of her death Mab&#39;s Cross had taken on her name suggesting there was a connection.</p><br>
<p>Blue Mountain Lake is a 1,280 acre lake in Hamilton County in the central Adirondacks; Blue Mountain Lake is the eastern end of the Eckford chain of lakes. The hamlet of Blue Mountain Lake lies on its southeastern shore and the Adirondack Museum looks down from high above its eastern shore. It has been a popular vacation destination since the mid-19th century.</p><br>
<h2>Fishing</h2><br>
<p>Fish species in the lake include lake trout, rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, landlocked salmon and smelt. There is only fee access at two private marina launches in the village of Blue Mountain Lake. There are also boat rentals available.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Blue Mountain Lake House was built in 1874 by John G. Holland. Soon after, an earlier resident, Miles Tyler Merwin, enlarged his log cabin on a spur of Blue Mountain overlooking the lake into the Blue Mountain house; the Log Hotel is now on the grounds of the Adirondack Museum. In 1881, Frederick C. Durant, cousin of William West Durant, built the Prospect House, the most luxurious hotel then existing in the Adirondacks; it was the first hotel in the world to have electric light in every room.</p><br>
<p>Becker Lake is a reservoir managed as a trophy trout lake. Located near Springerville, Arizona, Becker Lake is part of the 622 acre Becker Lake Wildlife Area. Built around the year 1880, it is one of the oldest reservoirs in the White Mountains. The Arizona Game and Fish Department acquired the lake and property around it in 1973. The lake is located at 6,910 ft.</p><br>
<p>The lake was originally impounded by Gustav and Julius Becker, and named for them.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Becker Lake has 107 acre with a maximum depth of 21 ft and an average depth of 10 ft. It is located on a diversion of the Little Colorado River. The Department owns water rights in the lake, so water levels can be maintained. The lake is stocked with sub-catchable rainbow trout twice a year and many of these fish survive the winter, reaching a good size the following spring. The lake also contains native Little Colorado suckers and illegally introduced green sunfish.</p><br>
<p>The lake has a boat ramp, dirt parking and barrier-free restroom. The Department has developed two hiking trails through the Wildlife Area.</p><br>

<p>Black Canyon Lake is a lake in Navajo County, Arizona, United States.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The lake was built along the Mogollon Rim in 1964 by the Arizona Game and Fish Department to provide water recreation opportunities for the public. Despite being affected by the 2002 Rodeo-Chediski Fire, Black Canyon Lake remains a popular and beautiful spot for picnics, camping and fishing. Because of the fire, the entire area around Black Canyon Lake is open for day use only due to the danger of falling trees. The facilities are maintained by Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest division of the USDA Forest Service.</p><br>
<p>Black Canyon Lake has 78 acre, with a maximum depth of 60 ft and an average depth of 35 ft. Like other Rim lakes, Black Canyon is deep, and historically has been low in nutrients. Because of nutrients from the fire and ash, Black Canyon Lake is now managed as a put-and-grow fishery. The Department stocks fingerlings, sub-catchable and catchable-sized rainbow trout in the spring and early summer, with additional catchables stocked in the fall. Although some trees around the lake are charred, the perimeter of the lake is forested and scenic.</p><br>
<h3>Location</h3><br>
<p>Situated at 7,060 ft, the lake is located 18 mi southwest of Heber in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest. To access, turn south on Forest Road 300 from State Route 260. Drive 2.4 mi and turn east, or left, on Forest Road 86. Drive 3 mi further to the lake turnoff. Access is restricted in the winter when roads are closed due to snow, generally December to early April.</p><br>

<p>Big Lake is considered one of the White Mountains&#39; best fishing lakes, because of its size, productivity and visitor amenities. As with most trout waters in Arizona, catch rates are best in spring, during late April and May after the winter ice thaws, and get better later in the summer and into fall until the lake freezes over again in late November. Big Lake is in Apache County and is managed by the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Situated at 9,000 ft in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests, Big Lake is about 26 mi south of Springerville and Eagar, accessed by paved road via Highways 260 and 261, and is approximately one hour’s drive from Pinetop using Highways 260 and 273 and Forest Road 113. Access is restricted in the winter when roads are closed due to snow, generally December to early April. In January, the normal high temperature is 44 &deg;F with a normal low temperature of 14 &deg;F. In July, the normal high temperature is 75 &deg;F with a normal low temperature of 45 &deg;F.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Big Lake has 680 acre, with an average depth of 30 ft. Primary fish species here include rainbow, brook and</p><br>
<p>cutthroat trout, with an occasional Brown trout. Each year, the Department stocks an average of 480,000 fingerling (three inch) and 50,000 subcatchable (six inch) trout. Most of these are rainbows.</p><br>

<p>The Fraser Island Great Walk is a long-distance trail in Queensland, Australia. Hikers must be fully self-sufficient and carry water. The walk is rated easy to moderate on a difficulty scale being mostly at sea level and is traversed in one direction.</p><br>
<p>It leads from Dilli Village, an environmental education camp of the University of the Sunshine Coast, to Happy Valley. The entire 90 km walk, which includes numerous smaller walks branching off the main trail, can be completed in 6 to 8 days. The Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) provides 8 walkers&#39; camps for which a.</p><br>
<p>The landscape during the walk changes between coastal heathland, mangrove forest, woodland and subtropical rainforest. The crystal-clear lakes and sand dunes are the highlights of this track. Due to the rain season it is better not to do this hike from January to March.</p><br>
<p>A 40 km extension to the walk from Lake Garawongera to Arch Cliffs, was started by volunteers in 2010. This would increase the length of the main trail to 80 km.</p><br>
<p>Carnero Lake is a high elevation shallow lake in Apache County, Arizona. It has a brief and colorful history, The lake can grow some big fish. Built in 1979, the lake quickly became popular with anglers, to the dismay of downstream water users. Because of the dispute, the Arizona Game and Fish discontinued stocking for many years. In 1999, the Arizona Game and Fish has acquired a major share of the water rights, setting the stage for a new and vigorous trout fishery.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Carnero Lake is located at 9,033 ft on the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests. Due to snow and ice, these roads are typically closed from mid-November to mid-April.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Carnero Lake is a shallow 65 acre headwater impoundment of Carnero Creek. It has a maximum depth of ten feet. Its quite weedy, which is problematic for fishing, but is also an indicator of a highly productive lake. It’s stocked with subcatchable and catchable-sized rainbow trout in the spring. Because its at high elevation and shallow, it’s subject to periodic winter kills.</p><br>

<p>Crescent Lake is located approximately 2 mi north of Big Lake. The lake sits at just over 9,000 ft elevation on the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests, as such the facilities located here are managed by that authority. Access is restricted in the winter when roads are closed due to snow, generally December to early April.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Crescent Lake has 100 acre, with an average depth of 10 ft. It&#39;s a highly productive lake, which allows trout to gain size quickly. However, the lake is shallow, which encourages weed growth and algae blooms, and makes it subject to late summer and winter fish kills. To manage the problem of winter kills, the Arizona Game and Fish stocks the lake with large numbers of catchable rainbow trout and brook trout each spring. In addition, the Arizona Game and Fish removes weeds annually with a floating weed mower.</p><br>
<h2>Fish species</h2><br>
<p>Rainbow trout</p><br>
<p>Brook trout</p><br>
<p>Forked Lake is a 1,248 acre lake in the Adirondack Park in New York, 7 mi southwest of the village of Long Lake. The lake is slender, and shaped like an inverted "T", 5 mi across the east-west oriented bottom but only 0.2 mi wide, with its northward arm even narrower and 3.8 mi long.</p><br>
<p>The state operates 80 campsites accessible by boat or by foot, except for three which can accommodate up to 20 ft recreational vehicles. The camping fee is $18. The boat launch is suitable only for smaller boats.</p><br>
<p>Locking metal boxes, fire pits, picnic tables, and outhouses are available at each campsite. The lock boxes are for storing your food beyond the reach of the local bear population. Some of the campsites have docks.</p><br>
<p>Forked Lake is home to Brook trout, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, bullhead, yellow perch, pan fish and brown trout. Maximum depth is 74 feet. Other wildlife include loon, otters, beaver, owl, deer, ducks, and bear.</p><br>

<p>The Frank Hibbard Estate House is a historic house located at 301 North Chiltern Drive in the Deerpath Hill Estates development in Lake Forest, Illinois. The house was built in 1903 for Frank Hibbard of Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Company, which later became True Value Hardware. Architect George Lyon Harvey designed the house in the Mediterranean Revival style; his design featured a terra cotta roof, decorative iron window coverings, and several porches. In 1929, developer Henry Turnbull purchased the property. Turnbull divided the property, which originally occupied a 21 acre plot, to create the Second Addition to Deerpath Hill Estates. Architect Stanley Anderson, a colleague of Turnbull and the developer of the original Deerpath Hill Estates, modernized the house in keeping with its Mediterranean design.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 12, 2006.</p><br>
<p>Belleville Lake is a 2-square-mile man-made lake located in Wayne County in the USA state of Michigan. It was created in 1925 by the Eastern Michigan Edison Company, by damming the Huron River. The 28-foot-high dam was the last in a series of five dams along the river, creating electricity from hydropower until 1962. The hydropower plant was refurbished in 1988 and has a nameplate production of 1.7 MW. It contains 17,780 acre-feet of water in the seven-mile-long lake. The small community of Rawsonville was flooded out by the dam.</p><br>
<p>The lake is used for boating and fishing, although the dam has restricted the passage of some fish species and eliminated a commercial mussel fishery which provided mother of pearl for buttons in the early 1900s A 2002 EPA report listed the water quality as good but algae blooms from phosphorus run-off are a known issue.</p><br>
<p>Iviswold, also known as "The Castle", is a house originally constructed in 1869 located in what is now Rutherford, in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. It was placed on the List of Registered Historic Places in New Jersey on November 4, 2004. The house is part of the Rutherford campus of Felician College and underwent a renovation that was completed in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The home was built in 1869 by Floyd W. Tomkins who called it "Hill House". It was purchased in 1887 by David Brinkerhoff Ivison who greatly expanded it and gave the home the name "Iviswold". The expansion was designed by the architect William Henry Miller. Ivison died in 1903 and Iviswold was sold and resold multiple times. During this period the building was used by the Rutherford Union Club. In 1930 the building was owned by the Rutherford National Bank, then headed by Fairleigh S. Dickinson. In 1942 Fairleigh Dickinson University was created and held the first classes within Iviswold. As the university grew it built multiple college buildings around Iviswold, but by the late 1980s the college was outgrowing their Rutherford campus, which was closed in 1994 and sold along with Iviswold to Felician University in 1997. Felician University spent several years restoring the building to its original condition. The New Jersey Historic Trust contributed $1,550,000 to the restoration project.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>The original home was a two-story stone house with a mansard roof. The 1887 remodeling of the house was inspired by the Château de Chaumont in Loir-et-Cher, France. The remodeling turned the building into a three-story turreted mansion with 25 rooms, including balconies, a music room and a porte-cochère. Local brownstone was used in the construction of the exterior walls. In the 1930s, an indoor pool was installed with a water tower built into the structure to supply it. In the 1970s, when Fairleigh Dickinson was using the building for classroom space, the college covered up much of the original interior with drop ceilings and partition walls.</p><br>
