<p>A&#39; Bhuidheanach Bheag is a Scottish mountain situated on the eastern side of the Pass of Drumochter, some 24 km WNW of Blair Atholl. The mountain straddles the border between Highland and Perth and Kinross council areas although the actual summit is in the latter.</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>The high ground to the east side of the Pass of Drumochter takes the form of a huge undulating plateau, with an average height of over 800 metres, which stretches NE for 13 km to Loch an t-Seilich in the Gaick Forest. This area is often dismissed as uninteresting countryside, however it does contain two Munros which draws many walkers to the locale. A Bhuidheanach Bheag lies to the southern end of the plateau and when viewed from the A9 road it shows many shallow ravines and gullies. The actual summit is out of sight from the A9 being sited back from the edge of the plateau. The rolling nature of the terrain makes A Bhuidheanach Bheag a good hill for ski mountaineering.</p><br>
<p>Despite its understated reputation A Bhuidheanach Bheag does offer the walker the feeling of space and the wide open skies of the high Grampian mountains. Its gentle curving slopes have much wildlife with Eurasian dotterel, ptarmigan, grouse and mountain hare seen on a regular basis. The hills name translates from the Gaelic language as “Little Yellow Place” and is thought to refer to the coarse yellow grass which grows on its slopes. The “Little” part of the name is slightly confusing as the hill is the highest point on the southern part of the plateau but demonstrates that the hill was named from how it looked from the valley not by its altitude.</p><br>
<h2>Geography and geology</h2><br>
<p>A&#39; Bhuidheanach Bheag’s best geographical feature is the remote Cama Choire on the eastern side of the mountain. This is a steep sided valley which cuts deeply into the hill and is drained by the Allt a’ Chama Choire. The coire is well seen from the hill of An Dun above the Gaick Pass.</p><br>
<p>The summit of the mountain is a gentle rise on the plateau and is only made obvious by the presence of an OS trig point. There are occasional quartzite outcrops across the summit plateau and some of the boulders have been collected to surround the trig point, a few iron fence post have also been included. The OS map also shows a 936-metre spot height, half a kilometre to the west of the recognised summit. The summit is crossed by a line of old rusting boundary fence posts and these lead unerringly to the adjoining Munro of Càrn na Caim which lies five km to the north across a boggy col with a height of 825 metres.</p><br>
<p>ABhuidheanach Bheag has two subsidiary tops over 3,000 feet in height. Glas Mheall Mòr (928 metres), just over two km to the ESE, is a Top in the current edition of Munros Tables. Meall a&#39; Chaorainn (916 metres) is located 1.5 km to the west of the summit and was deleted from the tables in 1981. All drainage from the mountain finds its way to the east coast of Scotland, the majority goes south to join the River Tay while a smaller percentage goes north via Glen Truim to join the River Spey.</p><br>
<h2>Ascents</h2><br>
<p>A&#39; Bhuidheanach Bheag is usually climbed from the A9 road, there are two possible starting points, Balsporan Cottages or 1.5 km to the north at the foot of Coire Chuirn. A more interesting route starts from the secluded country to the east at the ruined Sronphadruig Lodge and ascends by the Cama Choire to reach the plateau. Many walkers will continue to the adjacent Munro of Càrn na Caim, the plateau is quite featureless and a map and compass is necessary in misty conditions.</p><br>
<p>The Shelley House is a historic house at 4600 Labadie Avenue in St. Louis, Missouri. Built in 1906, this duplex was the focus of the 1948 United States Supreme Court case Shelley v. Kraemer, which ruled that judicial enforcement by state courts of racially restrictive covenants violated the Constitution. The house was designated a National Historic Landmark on December 14, 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The house is a two story brick rowhouse, typical of many found in St. Louis, in the Fairground district of St. Louis. The house retains integrity of design and construction from the date of its construction and the date of its historic significance. The house is arranged with apartments upstairs and downstairs, entered by separate doors from the front porch. The framed front porch rests on brick pillars, with wood columns supporting the shed roof. Both levels follow a four-room plan, flanked by a side hall. The front rooms feature a fireplace. An addition to the rear houses a bedroom on both levels.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The J.D. Shelley family had moved from Starkville, Mississippi in 1930, fleeing from racially motivated violence. After renting for a time, the Shelleys sought to buy the house at 4600 Labadie in 1945. The house was under a 1911 covenant that prohibited the sale of the house to anyone of the "Negro or Mongolian race" for a fifty-year period, of which the Shelleys were unaware. The Shelleys were sued by the Louis D. Kraemer family, owners of other property on the street, to restrain the Shelleys from taking title to the property. While the trial court held for the Shelleys, the decision was reversed by the Missouri Supreme Court in 1946. The Shelleys appealed to the United States Supreme Court in 1947. The USA Office of the Solicitor General filed, for the first time in a civil rights case, an amicus curiae ("friend of the court") brief in support of the Shelleys. The May 3, 1948 decision rendered all racially restrictive covenants unenforceable on the grounds that enforcing them would violate the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.</p><br>
<p>The Washington University Hilltop Campus Historic District was the site of the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition and the 1904 Summer Olympics. Many of the exposition buildings were temporary in nature, but a number of permanent structures were built and are used by Washington University, which calls this area the Danforth Campus. The district includes more than fifty structures, of which twenty are in the Collegiate Gothic style.</p><br>
<p>The overall plan for the Washington University campus was conceived by Frederick Law Olmsted, and a national competition was held in 1899 for the new buildings. Cope and Stevenson of Philadelphia was the winning firm, drawing on experience gained at Bryn Mawr College, the University of Pennsylvania and Princeton University. As construction proceeded, plans for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition incorporated the new buildings, leasing the campus and providing funding for more buildings.</p><br>
<p>The Collegiate Gothic structures form a unified composition, despite their construction over a fifty-year period. This is attributed to a style guide compiled by architect James P. Jamieson, who defined the use of red granite, green slate shingles and copper flashing and drainage details. Windows are set in limestone surrounds. Buildings are typically sited around a quadrangle that forms a high point, so that the building elevations facing the quad are two stories, while the rear elevations are three stories. Plans are standardized with many buildings using an elongated H-shaped plan with a central tower of three to five stories.</p><br>
<p>University buildings included:</p><br>
<p>Brookings Hall (1900), the defining landmark on Washington University campus, used as the Exposition&#39;s administration building.</p><br>
<p>Busch Hall (1900), used for the fair&#39;s Division of Works, including architects, engineers and construction management.</p><br>
<p>Ridgley Library (1901), used by the British Government for the display of items from Queen Victoria&#39;s Diamond Jubilee.</p><br>
<p>Eads Hall (1902), used by the Board of Lady Managers.</p><br>
<p>Cupples Hall I (1901), used for anthropology, including mummies in the basement.</p><br>
<p>Cupples Hall II(1901), used for the Jefferson Guard, the fair&#39;s security apparatus.</p><br>
<p>Prince Hall (1901)</p><br>
<p>Karl D. Umrath Hall (1902), used as a guest dormitory</p><br>
<p>Francis Gymnasium (1902) and Francis Field (1902-1903), used for displays of physical culture and the Third Olympic Games.</p><br>
<p>Later compatible additions include McMillan Hall (1906), Graham Chapel (1907), Newton R. Wilson Memorial Hall (1923), Duncker Hall (1923), Grace Vallé January Hall (1923), Charles Rebstock Hall (1926), the Ann W. Olin Women&#39;s Building (1927), Wayman Crow Hall (1933), George Warren Brown Memorial Hall (1935), the Sever Institute of Technology (1948) and Louderman Hall (1951).</p><br>
<p>Other buildings constructed for the Exposition include:</p><br>
<p>The Palace of Fine Art, designed by architect Cass Gilbert, featured a grand interior sculpture court based on the Roman Baths of Caracalla. Standing at the top of Art Hill, it now serves as the home of the St. Louis Art Museum.</p><br>
<p>The Missouri State building was planned as a permanent structure, but it burned down on November 18, and since the fair was almost over it was not rebuilt. After the fair, the World&#39;s Fair Pavilion was built on the site of the Missouri building.</p><br>
<p>Completed in 1913, the Jefferson Memorial building was built near the main entrance to the Exposition, at Lindell and DeBalivere. It was built with proceeds from the fair, to commemorate Thomas Jefferson, who initiated the Louisiana Purchase, and to store the Exposition&#39;s records and archives. It is now home to the Missouri History Museum.</p><br>
<p>The Wasenhorn  is a mountain of the Lepontine Alps, located on the border between Switzerland and Italy. It lies halfway between Brig  and Varzo , just north of Monte Leone, in the Simplon Pass area. Politically the Wasenhorn is split between the municipalities of Ried-Brig and Varzo.</p><br>
<p>The Simplon Tunnel runs into the massif of the Wasenhorn, below the subsidiary summit named Tunnelspitz (2,903 m).</p><br>
<h2>Access road</h2><br>
<p>Just follow to the road towards the Simplon pass, either from Brig on the Swiss side, or from Domodossola on the Italian side.</p><br>
<h2>Climbing Route</h2><br>
<p>The normal route to the summit of the Wasenhorn starts from the Monte Leone Hut of the Swiss Alpine Club (2,848 m), located on the south side of the mountain, above the Chaltwasser Pass, which connects the Simplon Pass with the Alpe Veglia.</p><br>
<p>To reach the hut from the Swiss side, there is a 2 hours 30 minute walk from the Simplon Hospiz which is at the Simplon pass road. From the hut to the summit takes a further one hour and thirty minutes.</p><br>
<p>By continuing on towards the Aurona pass the Bivacco Farello is reached - a typical Alpine refuge.</p><br>
<h2>Other mountains around to climb</h2><br>
<p>From the Simplon pass, climbers can reach other nearby mountains:</p><br>
<p>Breithorn (Simplon).</p><br>
<p>Hubschhorn.</p><br>
<p>Monte Leone.</p><br>
<p>The Fire Mummies of the Philippines, also known as the Kabayan Mummies, Benguet Mummies, or Ibaloi Mummies, are a group of mummies found along the mountain slopes of Kabayan, a town in the northern part of the Philippines. They were made from as early as 2000 BC until the 16th century, when Spain colonized the Philippines. Today, they remain in natural caves and a museum in Kabayan.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Scientists believe that the Fire Mummies were created by the Ibaloi between 1200 and 1500 AD in five towns in Benguet and buried in caves. Others believe that the process of mummification began at 2000 BC. Mummified bodies are then placed in a coffin made of pinewood and laid to rest in rock shelters, natural caves or man made burial niches. The practice of that mummification ended, since Spaniards colonized the Philippines in the 16th century.</p><br>
<h3>Discovery</h3><br>
<p>When the Fire Mummies were discovered in the early 20th century, many of them were thieved, because the caves were mostly unprotected. Because of this, Monument Watch, a nonprofit organization, declared the site as one of the 100 most endangered sites in the world.</p><br>
<h2>Today</h2><br>
<p>After logging operations intensified in the area, the location of many caves became known. Unfortunately this has led to looting, as unconscientious visitors have been eager to leave their mark, including graffiti, on the Kabayan mummies. The Kabayan Mummies were listed in the 1998 World Monuments Watch by the World Monuments Fund. Funding through American Express was used for emergency conservation and the creation of a comprehensive management plan. Additionally, local authorities from surrounding municipalities collaborated in cultural awareness campaign to introduce the Mummies to Filipinos. Tourist facilities were also constructed in order to control visitation and prevent harmful intrusions.</p><br>
<p>The Fire Mummies remain in natural caves with relatively small security and have been designated as one of the 100 world&#39;s most endangered heritage sites. Officials know 50-80 other mummies, but they will not give their locations because of their fear of vandalism. A small museum in Kabayan, Benguet also displays a few mummies.</p><br>
<h2>Declarations</h2><br>
<p>The Kabayan Mummy Burial Caves are listed as National Cultural Treasures by the National Museum of the Philippines pursuant to Presidential Decree No. 374. It is also under consideration as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.</p><br>
<p>St. Davids Episcopal Church, often known as St. David’s at Radnor or, less often, as Old St. Davids, is a parish of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America, founded in the early 18th century and named after the Patron Saint of Wales. A Book of Common Prayer, given as a gift to Lydia Leamy in 1854, refers to St. Davids as "Radnor Church". It has grown to be the largest congregation in the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania, with some 950 active families and 3,000 members. The original church building, built in 1715 and the subject of a Longfellow poem, still stands. It is in nearly the same condition as when it was built, several new buildings having been constructed to house the growing congregation. The adjacent graveyard is a part of the historic site. The church property is divided by the borders of three townships, in two counties, often causing confusion as to the church&#39;s location. The church office is located at 763 South Valley Forge Road in Wayne, Radnor Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Founding</h3><br>
<p>After the establishment of the Welsh Tract in the colony of Pennsylvania, the area was settled by numerous emigrants from Wales, particularly Welsh Quakers, although Welsh people of other faiths, drawn by Pennsylvania’s religious toleration and the opportunity to conduct their affairs in their own language, settled the area as well. In those days, life on the frontier saw exercise of religious beliefs in a limited way (frequently without houses of worship or clergy), which became a concern to many. The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, in London, sent the Welsh Anglican Rev. Evan Evans to the area as a circuit missionary. He began holding fortnightly services in private houses, including that of William Davis in the area known as Radnor, in the southern part of the Welsh Tract, starting November, 1700. Rev. Evans returned home in 1706, leaving the area with no clergyman.</p><br>
<p>In 1708, John Oldmixon in his book The British Empire in America noted that</p><br>
<p>After Rev. Evans&#39; departure, the Welsh-speaking Anglicans of Radnor sent the Society a 100-signature petition requesting a shipment of Welsh-language prayer books and Bibles, and especially requesting another Welsh-speaking missionary. A complete response was apparently slow in coming; ten years later, upon meeting their new leader, the parishioners “heartily engaged themselves to build a handsome stone church to be named after the Patron Saint of Wales”. The cornerstone of the new building was laid on May 9, 1715. In an unusual expression of solidarity between denominations, several other clergymen assisted with the laying of the foundation, including Pastor Sandel of Old Swedes Church in Philadelphia. The first worship services took place in the new church on Christmas Eve, 1715. The building still stands, and seats 100 in old-fashioned box pews; the current organ is not original, having been built in 1952.</p><br>
<p>An early pastor, the Rev. John Clubb, who served from about 1707 to 1715, and later the Rev. Robert Weyman, who served during the 1720s, were paid by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts and shared duties between St. David&#39;s and Old Trinity Church, located about 20 miles to the east in Oxford (now part of Philadelphia).</p><br>
<h3>Revolutionary and Federal periods</h3><br>
<p>With the coming of the American Revolution in the colonies, a wave of resentment against the Church of England (which professed loyalty to the king) arose among the congregation. A leader of this opposition was Anthony Wayne, a lifelong member of St. David’s who was later appointed major general of the American forces. The rector, the Rev. William Currie, bound by his oath of duty to the king, resigned his position, which remained officially vacant for 12 years (Rev. Currie performed marriages, baptisms, and the like privately until at least 1783).</p><br>
<p>The church was formally incorporated and chartered in August 1792. A church school was organized in 1820. The first confirmation services were conducted by Bishop William White, who became the first Presiding Bishop. The first physical addition to the church holdings was the fieldstone "Old Rectory" in 1844.</p><br>
<h3>Suburbanization</h3><br>
<p>After the construction of the "main line" of the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1832, the once-isolated community began to evolve more rapidly, particularly after the railroad built local stations and offered frequent train service in the Philadelphia area. One of the way stations on the Main Line was named St. Davids for the church (the station is approximately 3 miles/4 km from the church), and a community of the same name grew up around the station. The community has no post office of its own, and is served by the nearby Wayne post office. As Philadelphians began to live outside the city in the late 19th century, the church’s parishioners became more suburban.</p><br>
<p>As the congregation grew, the parish expanded accordingly. A parish house (office building), with church school facilities, was built in 1924 and enlarged in 1950. Further growth of the congregation led to heated discussion over whether the parish should accommodate a burgeoning membership or retain its early character; this was resolved by the 1956 construction of a new worship building, several times the size of the original church. In a nod to history, the original building retained the name "church" (sometimes called the "old church" for clarity), while the new building was named the "chapel". As a result, the "church" is the small building, while the "chapel" is the larger one, to the unending confusion of visitors.</p><br>
<p>A separate building was built for Sunday school classes in 1965, the year the parish celebrated its 250th anniversary at a service attended by the Bishop of St David&#39;s in Wales. The building is named the Knewstub Building for a former rector of the parish.</p><br>
<p>Continued growth of the congregation rendered the chapel too small by the time it was 50 years old. A new, larger chapel, seating 650, was constructed adjacent to the old one in 2006. A three-manual, 48-stop, mechanical action organ was installed in 2007. The old chapel, its pews, etc., removed, is now named St. David&#39;s Hall, hosting receptions after services and other church-related activities, and serving as a connector between the new chapel and the parish offices.</p><br>
<p>The church grounds lie at the intersection of three townships and two counties. The old church building, along with a small portion of the graveyard, is located in Newtown Township, Delaware County; the chapel and offices are located in Radnor Township, Delaware County; and most of the graveyard is in Easttown Township, Chester County.See coordinate A-4</p><br>
<p>All three townships were originally part of Chester County until Delaware County was created in 1789. This situation can cause problems for the editors and users of databases and directories.</p><br>
<h2>Longfellow poem</h2><br>
<p>In March 1880, the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow visited St. David’s. Struck by the peace and quiet of "this little church among its graves", he composed a poem about it: "Old St. David’s at Radnor", which was published later that same year in the collection Ultima Thule. The poem refers to another poet, Welshman George Herbert, and the small Bemerton church of which he was rector.</p><br>
<h2>Historic Structures</h2><br>
<p>A log church was erected early in the 1700s. The "old" church building, constructed 1715, was added to or modified a number of times, in 1767, 1771, 1786, 1813, 1830, and 1907. These modifications included the relocation of the altar, the addition of an enclosed stair to the choir loft, the addition of a vestry room to the north, and the construction of an enclosure for the main entry door. A horse shed was built in 1850, and added to in 1871. The horse shed has since been demolished.</p><br>
<p>These structures were recorded in the Historic American Buildings Survey. Numerous photographs were also taken.</p><br>
<h2>Graveyard</h2><br>
<p>The historic graveyard is included with the "old" St. David’s Church on the National Register of Historic Places, and was listed in 1978. Open to all, it also serves as a quiet sanctuary for anyone who wishes to walk its paths or sit amongst the graves and trees.</p><br>
<p>As might be expected from a churchyard of such an age, there are a number of prominent people buried at St. David’s. These include:</p><br>
<p>Anthony Wayne (1745–1796), general in the American Revolution; he died in Erie, Pennsylvania, and was buried there. His son Isaac, wishing to bury him at his home church, traveled to Erie in 1809 and had the body exhumed and rendered to separate the bones from the flesh. All the bones that would fit in Isaac Wayne’s luggage were brought to St. David’s and buried in the Newtown Township portion of the graveyard.</p><br>
<p>Isaac Wayne (1772–1852) Anthony Wayne’s son, USA Representative from Pennsylvania, 1823–25.</p><br>
<p>George W. Pepper (1867–1961), USA Senator 1922–1927. He is said to be buried in the Easttown portion of the graveyard.</p><br>
<p>William W. Atterbury (1866–1935), Brigadier General in World War I, and President of the Pennsylvania Railroad 1925–1935.</p><br>
<p>Helen Hope Montgomery Scott (1904–1995), inspiration of "The Philadelphia Story" and its leading character, Tracy Lord; and her husband, Edgar Scott.</p><br>
<p>Rose Bampton (1907–2007), opera singer.</p><br>
<p>Edward Lowber Stokes (1880–1964), US Congressman.</p><br>
<p>R. Norris Williams (1891–1968), professional tennis player and Olympic athlete.</p><br>
<p>Robert Clifton Patton Lisle (1891-1966), Colonel in World War I and second scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 1.</p><br>

<p>St. John&#39;s Episcopal Church is a historic Episcopal church in Ashwood, Maury County, Tennessee, United States. Built from 1839 to 1842 by Bishop Leonidas Polk, it was an active church in the Antebellum South. It was ransacked and later used as a hospital for the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War of 1861-1865. Services resumed after the war, but they were discontinued due to low attendance in 1915. It is now closed, except for an annual pilgrimage.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The church is located six miles southwest of Columbia, Tennessee.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The land belonged to Colonel William Polk. One of his sons, Leonidas Polk served as the rector of St. John&#39;s Episcopal Church, which was based in his own house, Ashwood Hall, from January 1, 1834 to August 9, 1838. Due to poor health, he was assisted in his ministry by James Hervey Otey.</p><br>
<p>In 1839, Leonidas Polk decided to erect the church building. Built by African slaves owned by Polk and his brothers, it was completed in the summer of 1842. It was consecrated on September 4, 1842.</p><br>
<p>The first permanent pastor, Stephen Patterson, was installed in July 1845. The congregation included both whites and blacks. A new rector, E. H. Cressy, was installed in 1848. The church bell was only placed in the tower as late as 1849. By 1858, James Hildebrand became the new rector. Mary Elizabeth Martin, Gideon Johnson Pillow&#39;s wife, and their son, attended services.</p><br>
<p>On March 31, 1862, in the midst of the American Civil War of 1861-1865, Union Brigadier General Don Carlos Buell broke into the church building and ransacked it, breaking the window glasses. By 1864, it was converted into a hospital for the Confederate States Army. Days before the Battle of Franklin of November 30, 1864, General Patrick Cleburne (1828–1864) was passing by St. John&#39;s and he remarked to his aides something like, "This is such a beautiful church that it would almost be worth dying so one could be buried here." Meanwhile, Leonidas Polk was buried in a crypt inside the church in 1864.</p><br>
<p>In 1872, Richard N. Newell, a former Roman Catholic from England, became the new rector. However, services were discontinued in 1915 due to low attendance.</p><br>
<p>In 1945, upon request from the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana, Leonidas Polk&#39;s remains were taken from the church and he was re-buried at the Christ Church Cathedral in New Orleans, Louisiana.</p><br>
<p>No longer an operating church, it is only used once annually for services. The attached graveyard is the burial site of four Episcopal Bishops of Tennessee.</p><br>
<h2>Heritage significance</h2><br>
<p>It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1970.</p><br>
<p>Rose Canyon Lake is located 30 mi northeast of Tucson, Arizona in the Santa Catalina Mountains near Mount Lemmon. Rose Canyon Lake is the only lake in the Santa Catalina District that is managed for recreational fishing. It is relatively small  and is tucked away in a picturesque stand of mature ponderosa pines high on the slopes of the Santa Catalina Mountains. A paved road through Rose Canyon Campground leads to a small parking area a short walk from the water. Anglers fish in the lake throughout the summer, though rainbow trout are stocked only during the cooler months of the season. Fish large enough to catch and take home generally are released in the lake about once a month from early May through the end of June, when water temperatures become a little too warm for these cold water fish. In mid-September, stocking resumes after water temperatures moderate a bit and continues for another couple of months. All stocking and fishing regulations for Rose Canyon lake, as well as all the other lakes within the Coronado are managed by Arizona Game and Fish.</p><br>

<p>Horsethief Basin Lake is a reservoir in the Bradshaw Mountains and the Prescott National Forest, in central Arizona.It is located near Crown King in eastern Yavapai County.</p><br>
<h2>Features</h2><br>
<p>Horsethief Basin Resort began as a park facility of the City of Phoenix, built in 1936−1937 with assistance from the Public Works Administration (PWA) and Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). In 1966 the city sold its interest in the resort buildings to private owners, and the area reverted to administration by the USA Forest Service as part of the Prescott National Forest.</p><br>
<p>The reservoir&#39;s dam is open to pedestrians and anglers. Boating is allowed on the lake.</p><br>

<p>Peña Blanca Lake is a reservoir in Arizona, United States, located 18 mi northwest of Nogales. The facilities are maintained by the Coronado National Forest division of the USDA Forest Service. The lake was created in 1957 by the Arizona Game and Fish Department. In 2008, the lake was closed to clean mercury contamination within the sediment, thought to be from old mines in the area. The lake was reopened in August 2009. In 2013, an Arizona Department of Environmental Quality report showed that mercury levels were similar to those before the lake was drained and dredged. One potential cause for the high mercury could be naturally occurring mercury seeping through the faults or a spring in the lake, though these claims are still under investigation.</p><br>

<p>The Eugene Field House is a historic house museum at 634 South Broadway in St. Louis, Missouri. Built in 1845, it was the home of Roswell Field, an attorney for Dred Scott in the landmark Dred Scott v. Sandford court case. Fields son, Eugene Field, was raised there and became a noted writer of childrens stories. A National Historic Landmark, it is now a museum known as the Field House Museum. </p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Field House is located just south of Downtown St. Louis, at the northeast corner of South Broadway and Cerre Street. It is largely surrounded by parking lots, with Interstate 64 a short way to the north. It is a three story brick building, three bays wide, with a side gable roof whose end wall sections are raised. The entrance is in the leftmost bay, in a panelled recess. The windows have stone sills and lintels.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in 1845, and was once part of a row of similar buildings called Walshs Row. Most of these were torn down in the 20th century. Threatened with demolition, the house was transferred to the St. Louis Board of Education in 1936. Restored with funding from local preservationists, it opened as a museum to Eugene Field later that year. It was turned over to the Landmarks Association of St. Louis in 1968, and to the Eugene Field House Foundation in 1981. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2007, for its association with attorney Roswell Field, who was Eugene Fields father, and a lead attorney for Dred Scott. Fields legal work set the stage for Scotts final appeal to the United States Supreme Court, which was rejected in the 1857 Dred Scott v. Sandford decision, in which Chief Justice Roger B. Taney issued a polemic decision denying African Americans United States citizenship.</p><br>
<p>A plaque on the home was dedicated in 1902 with the help of author Mark Twain, who announced it as the birthplace of Eugene Field. Field&#39;s brother Roswell, however, noted that he was born elsewhere. Twain brushed the fact aside, telling him, "Officially and for the purposes of the future, your brother was born here." The inaccurate plaque remains. The plaque reads: "Here was born Eugene Field, the Poet, 1850–1895".</p><br>
<p>Los Angeles Nurses&#39; Club is a clubhouse and apartment building for nurses located in the Westlake district of Central Los Angeles, California.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The large building was built in 1924 by the Los Angeles Nurses&#39; Club. The club was organized and incorporated as a non-profit corporation in 1921.</p><br>
<p>The club&#39;s members conducted several bazaars, some theatre parties, and a dance, raising funds to buy a lot, which they then sold for a profit. By 1923, the club had raised sufficient funds to purchase a hilltop lot at the corner of Third Street and Lucas Street, west of Downtown Los Angeles in the Westlake district.</p><br>
<p>The clubhouse was intended to provide a place "where registered nurses may live and enjoy the few quiet hours spared from their arduous duties."</p><br>
<h3>Building</h3><br>
<p>Architect John J. Frauenfelder was hired to design the building. Frauenfelder designed a structure consisting of four stories and a basement. The ground floor had a large living room with a library and fireplace, which was intended to lend a "home-like atmosphere to the clubhouse." Frauenfelders plans also included an auditorium for lectures and motion pictures. A garden was built at the rear of the building with views of the mountains. The structure included housing for 100 nurses and was also the headquarters of the groups professional activities, including the city&#39;s Central Registry for nurses.</p><br>
<p>When completed in 1924, the building was the first clubhouse in the United States to be entirely financed and built by and for nurses. The cost of building the structure was $160,000. The "Angelus Sextette", composed of nurses from the Angelus Hospital, sang at the dedication ceremony in 1924.</p><br>
<h2>Landmark</h2><br>
<p>The Los Angeles Nurses&#39; Club building was designated a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument by the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Board in April 1988 (HCM #352). It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<p>The Bohemian Citizens&#39; Benevolent Society is a private benevolent society founded in 1892 in Astoria, Queens to support Czech and Slovak immigrants to the area, as well as people of Czech and Slovak ancestry. The Society is commonly known as "Bohemian Hall", for the historic structure  in which it is located.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The founders of the organization said that the purpose of the society is to encourage, support, and maintain Bohemian schools, dramatics, and libraries for Czech children and children of Czech heritage; to maintain a non-profit-making home social for Czechs and people of Czech ancestry in which the Czech culture may be taught and blended with American traditions and culture which makes the people better Americans. The organization has an annual revenue of $1,000,000 and employs a staff of approximately 14. The current president of the organization is Alan Svoboda.</p><br>
<h2>Bohemian Hall and Beer Garden</h2><br>
<p>The Bohemian Hall and Beer Garden has a big indoor and outdoor bar complex. The bar complex can hold 800 people and is open year-round. Food that the bar serves is Czech specialties. There is a lime tree that was planted by Václav Havel. There are old signs and flags from the Czech Republic inside the bar. There are beers from the Czech Republic and Slovakia like Golden Pheasant, BrouCzech, Pilsner Urquell, Krušovice, Czechvar, and Staropramen. Most of the workers speak Czech and English. Most of the regular people that are there are middle-aged and elderly immigrants. The Hall hosts holiday parties, ethnic festivals, local jazz groups, Czech rock bands, and touring acts. The Bohemian Hall hosts the annual Czech and Slovak festival. The hall also has a Sokol club and a Czech school. The Bohemian Hall keeps the people linked, visually and materially, to the past.</p><br>
<h3>Closure</h3><br>
<p>Revenue was so low in the early 1990s that the hall threatened to close. A large group of people, not all Czech, started a "Save the Hall" meeting. Václav Havel, the former president of Czechoslovakia, was so moved by the outcome of the meeting that when he stopped by in 2000 he stayed for hours and held a conference.</p><br>
<p>Antietam Lake is a reservoir located in Berks County, Pennsylvania entirely within the Antietam Lake Park. The lake was formerly owned by the city of Reading. It was purchased by Berks County in 2006.</p><br>
<h2>Historical Information</h2><br>
<p>A beautiful waterfall formed by the dam can be seen on your way into Antietam Lake Park. Also, an historical spring house is located in the park. It is believed to be over one-hundred fifty years old and is still intact. It is one of the main historical attractions in the park. In addition, an historical home on the property known as Bingamen house is being remodeled to become an educational center. i am the one dont way s ton fdot need a dun</p><br>
<h2>Geographical Information</h2><br>
<p>The lake is formed by the disbandment of the Antietam Creek. The lake is stocked annually with trout.</p><br>
<p>Picacho Reservoir is just 11 mi south of Coolidge in central Arizona. The reservoir was built in the 1920s as part of the San Carlos Irrigation Project. The reservoirs original purpose was water storage and flow regulation for the Florence-Casa Grande and Casa Grande Canals. The lakes design capacity was 24,500 acre.ft of water, with a surface area of over 2 square miles. Over the years, siltation and vegetation have reduced the capacity and surface area, so that much of the reservoir is a shallow marsh with extensive stands of cattails and rushes. Water level is highly variable, and the lake is completely dry in some years.</p><br>

<p>St. Thomas Synagogue is a historic synagogue at 2116 Crystal Gade, Queens Quarters, in Charlotte Amalie on the island of Saint Thomas in the USA Virgin Islands. The formal name of the synagogue is Congregation Beracha Veshalom Vegmiluth Hasadim . Built in 1833 for a congregation founded in 1792, it is the synagogue with the longest history of continuous use on what is now United States soil. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1997.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Saint Thomas Synagogue was built in 1833, and is the second-oldest synagogue on United States soil (after the 1763 Touro Synagogue in Newport, Rhode Island). It also has the longest history of continuous use by a Jewish congregation in the nation. It was built for a congregation founded in 1796 by Spanish and Portuguese Sephardic Jews who had come to the Caribbean Basin to finance trade between Europe and the New World. As a result of Hurricanes Irma and Maria, Category 5 hurricanes which ravaged much of the Caribbean and St. Thomas in September 2017, the synagogue sustained significant damage, but nevertheless remained in continuous operation under the leadership of Rabbi Michael Feshbach. An effort is underway to restore the facilities.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The St. Thomas Synagogue stands north of Charlotte Amalie&#39;s central business district, on the north side of Crystal Gade near its junction with Raadets Gade. It is a single-story structure, built out of rubblestone joined by a mortar mix of lime, sand, and molasses, and covered by a shallow pitch hip roof. Its front, separated from the street by an entry courtyard, has a Greek Revival temple front, but with Gothic arched window openings. The facade is recessed, with the temple pediment supported by brick pillars with Tuscan styling. On the interior, the Torah ark is located on the east wall, with the bimah, or pulpit, on a dais against the west wall. The center of the chamber is demarcated by a square of four Ionic columns mounted on pedestals, and there are rows of bench pews on the north and south walls. The seating areas of men and women are separated by movable wooden partitions.</p><br>
<p>The Historic Trinity Lutheran Church is a church located in downtown Detroit, Michigan. It occupies the Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church complex, located at 1345 Gratiot Avenue. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1981</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Trinity congregation was formed in 1850, when members of St. Matthews Lutheran Church, a German-speaking congregation, broke from the main body following the excommunication of another member. Services were first held in the chapel of Christ Episcopal Church, located at the corner of Jefferson and Hastings. Soon, the congregation bought the chapel of the Western Seamans Friend Society of Woodbridge Street, and moved it to Rivard and Larned. This building quickly proved too small, the congregation built a new brick church at Gratiot and Rivard in 1866. This area, surrounding Eastern Market, was at the time home to a large German population and a natural fit for Trinity.</p><br>
<p>Around this time, many schools, missions, and other congregations were begun by Trinity throughout the region. In total, 132 Lutheran parishes in southeast Michigan can be traced to Trinity.</p><br>
<p>In the late 1920s, Trinity began considering renovation of its 1866 structure. However, congregant Charles Gauss stepped forward and offered to finance the building of a new church. The old church was demolished, and the cornerstone of the current church was laid in 1929 with the dedication held on February 15, 1931.</p><br>
<p>After World War II, the population of downtown Detroit began moving in droves to the suburbs, and many Detroit churches, including Trinity, lost membership. However, then-pastor Gilbert Theodore Otte remained firm in keeping the church in the downtown area.</p><br>
<p>Membership, however, declined, with only 112 church members in 1981.</p><br>
<p>The Bailey Farm Windmill is an historic windmill on Maine State Route 16, north of the village of North Anson, Maine. Built in 1905, it is an architecturally distinctive local landmark, with an octagonal frame and a copper-domed roof. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The windmill is an octagonal wood-frame structure, resting on a concrete foundation, with a wooden shingled exterior and a copper-domed roof. Its base is flared, with the entrance projecting slightly on the west-facing facade, under a gabled pediment. There are four small windows in the structure, all at different heights to provide light to the inside staircase. At the top of its interior is an observation area, which is surrounded on the outside by a broad gallery supported by sawn brackets. The dome is topped by a spire, on which are mounted the rotating mechanism and carriage of the mill. The wheel has retained its spokes, but no longer has paddles to catch the wind. This mechanism was originally connected to a central shaft, now removed, that lead down to a shallow dug well. The shaft was protected from the stairs by a tongue-and-groove partition.</p><br>
<p>The windmill was apparently built about 1905 on the farm of Benjamin and Chester Bailey, and is one of a very small number of agricultural windmills to survive in the state. It was apparently used by the Baileys and later owners until the 1920s, when the well pump was converted to gasoline power.</p><br>
<p>Ross Island is the main island of a four-island cluster in the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon, in the United States. The islands, covering a total of about 400 acre, are owned mainly by Ross Island Sand and Gravel , which mined them extensively between 1926 and 2001. The other three islands are Hardtack, East, and Toe. Ross Island was named for Oregon pioneer Sherry Ross.</p><br>
<p>The islands split the Willamette River into Holgate Slough on the east.</p><br>
<p>They are about 1 mi south of downtown Portland at river mile 15, the islands are slightly upriver (south) of the Ross Island Bridge between the Springwater Corridor Trail on the eastern shore and the South Waterfront on the western shore and slightly downriver from the Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge on the eastern shore and Willamette Park on the western shore. Ross is the longest of the islands, the closest to the western shore, and the closest to the Ross Island Bridge. Hardtack is to its east. East Island lies southeast of Hardtack, and Toe Island lies southwest of Ross. No bridge reaches the islands, which are approached only by boat.</p><br>
<p>Ross Island is connected to Hardtack Island by an artificial levee built in 1926 by the USA Army Corps of Engineers in order to form a lagoon between the two islands. The lagoon made dredging easier for RISG and diverted water west of the islands, where it deepened a shipping channel.</p><br>
<p>In 2007, the owner of RISG, Robert B. Pamplin, Jr., donated 45 acre of the island to the city of Portland, which plans to manage the property as a natural area.</p><br>
<p>The islands, which retain remnants of forested riparian zones, are used by at least 50 species of birds including ospreys, eagles, herons. The gift was accepted long after transfer negotiations stalled in 2002 over questions of liability for the islands&#39; restoration and cleanup.</p><br>
<p>Because it contains toxic fill dirt, the Ross-Hardtack lagoon is listed for cleanup by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality.</p><br>
<p>City staff and outside experts who inspected the 45 acre in 2007 approved of their condition.</p><br>
<p>In addition to the gifted acres and the 350 acre still owned by RISG, the Port of Portland owns 10 acre. Conservationists have expressed hope that the Port will donate its land to the city and that Pamplin and city officials will agree on a long-term plan for the islands.</p><br>
<p>Depot Creek Falls is a 967 ft-high waterfall in the North Cascades National Park, Whatcom County, Washington.</p><br>
<p>The falls occur where Depot Creek drops over a headwall. The creek starts off by plunging 200 ft. After that is a long slide of 767 ft to the bottom of the valley. Spray at the falls&#39; base is immense. The average volume of the falls is 300-500 cubic feet per second of water, which flows over a nearly 1,000-foot (300 m) high cliff as a 125-foot (38 m)-wide river.</p><br>
<p>Reaching the falls is challenging. One has to drive up Depot Creek FSR from the Canadian side, which is in poor condition, before hiking about 8 mi to the falls. This is one reason the falls are seldom visited.</p><br>

<p>Lake George can refer to one of three places in Indiana:</p><br>
<p>Lake George – Steuben County</p><br>
<p>This recreational lake is on the Indiana-Michigan state line, located two-thirds in Steuben County and one-third in Branch County, Michigan. Nearby towns are Angola and Fremont in Indiana and Coldwater and Kinderhook in Michigan.</p><br>
<p>A mill pond and dam built in the 1930s are located at the south end of the lake, where the once-prosperous community of Jamestown is located. Important land features include Browns Point, Kope Kon Point, and the Mill Pond. Commercial enterprises include Clays restaurant, Lake George Retreat restaurant, Tom&#39;s Donuts, and Lake George Marina.</p><br>
<p>The lake is home to the international headquarters of the Inland cat Class Sailing Association. The 16 long sailboats with a single sail were built by residents who owned a Fort Wayne fiberglass company in the 1960s and 1970&#39;s. The Lake George Cottagers Association was established in 1927. The LGCA website is www.lakegeorgein.com. Cottagers have also established The Lake George Conservancy in the 2005 to protect surrounding land and to preserve the lake environs. Once almost exclusively surrounded by seasonal cottages which all had nicknames. The lake is now the year-round home to many residents. Many older cottages have been completely rebuilt into larger permanent homes. Annual festivities include 4th of July Fireworks and Labor Day Luminaries.</p><br>
<p>It is commonly rumored that John Dillinger and members of his infamous bank-robbing gang hid out on a lake front home that still stands on the lake today on Lane 201A. The location was supposedly chosen due to its proximity to the Indiana-Michigan state line, making it easier for the gang to evade local police. The cottage belonged to Homer VanMeter, a prominent member of Dillinger&#39;s gang, who is buried in the Lindenwood cemetery in Fort Wayne, IN.</p><br>
<p>Lake George is approximately 500 acres and is 82&#39; at its deepest point. The shape of the lake is said to resemble a squirrel. There is significant historical evidence of Native American inhabitants living around Lake George.</p><br>
<p>Lake George in Hobart – Lake County</p><br>
<p>This recreational lake was formed by the damming of Deep River in 1845 and is a medium-sized lake that winds its way through the city. It is a popular place for people to gather to walk along the city&#39;s waterfront. Musical entertainment can be found near the clock tower in Lakefront Park and at the Revelli Bandshell during the warm months. Fishing and boating are two popular lake activities.</p><br>
<p>Lake George in Hammond – Lake County</p><br>
<p>This shrunken lake consisting of a north and south basin is located east of Wolf Lake and Calumet Avenue in the city&#39;s Robertsdale neighborhood. The Lake George Trail, a 3.1-mile greenway, bisects the two basins. The Lost March Golf Course, located just south of the lake, has an 18- and 9-hole course, which is managed and maintained by the Hammond Port Authority. The lake was partially filled in when building the main north-south thoroughfares through the city.</p><br>
<p>Saint Joseph College and Mother Seton Shrine are two closely related campuses in Emmitsburg, Maryland.</p><br>
<h2>Saint Joseph College campus</h2><br>
<h3>Saint Joseph College</h3><br>
<p>The campus is the original site of Saint Joseph’s Academy, a Catholic school for girls from 1809 until 1973. The 107 acre Saint Joseph College campus includes a variety of significant buildings including the Second Empire Burlando Building.</p><br>
<p>In June 1809, Elizabeth Ann Seton (later canonized as the first native born USA saint) arrived in Emmitsburg, Maryland and established Saint Josephs Academy and Free School, the first free parochial school for girls in the United States. This school laid the foundation for the Catholic parochial school system in the United States. Mother Seton wrote classroom textbooks and trained her Catholic sisters to become teachers, and accepted all students regardless of ability to pay. Saint Josephs Academy and Free School developed into Saint Joseph College High School (1890-1946), Saint Joseph&#39;s High School (1946-1982), and Saint Joseph College (1902-1973), a four-year liberal arts college for women. In 1973, Saint Joseph College closed its doors and ceased operations due to declining enrollment numbers and rising operating costs. Students and faculty were merged with Mount Saint Mary’s University, formerly a liberal arts men’s college located two miles (3 km) south of Emmitsburg on highway USA 15. Even after the school closed, The Daughters of Charity have continued Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton’s legacy of helping educate children around the world.</p><br>
<h3>National Emergency Training Center</h3><br>
<p>The college campus was purchased by the USA Government in 1979 for use as the National Emergency Training Center (NETC). It is home to the National Fire Academy, United States Fire Administration, National Emergency Training Center, and Emergency Management Institute (EMI), which is operated by the Directorate of Preparedness branch of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The campus also includes the learning resource center (LRC) library, the National Fire Data Center, and the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial.</p><br>

<p>Maulden Wood is a woodland situated in Bedfordshire, England, near the village of Maulden, on the greensand ridge that stretches from Leighton Buzzard to Gamlingay. It includes Maulden Wood and Pennyfather&#39;s Hill, a 148.8 hectare, biological Site of Special Scientific Interest .</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>Maulden Wood is classed as a semi-natural broadleaf woodland, on acidic grassland and includes some conifer plantations. Paths through the lead can be reached from Maulden Church, through Church Field, and from the A6 road layby through the wood. There are grasslands in the centre of the wood. They are managed by the Greensand Trust and the Forestry Commission.</p><br>
<h2>Scientific interest</h2><br>
<p>Much of Maulden Wood is designated as an (SSSI) for the acidic grassland and heathland interest, and wildlife includes badger sets, foxes, and barn owls. The site is important for invertebrates and plants which are indicative of the varied clay and sandy gravel soil. One notable invertebrate is limax cinereoniger, a mollusc that is also indicative of unmanaged ancient woodlands. The rare Wild Service Tree Sorbus torminalis also grows in the drier places deep in the wood.</p><br>
<p>The northern end of the wood is also an SSSI because of its importance as one of Bedfordshires largest remnants of ancient woodland in addition to the nearby Kings Wood. Maulden wood is green most of the year round due to the large percentage of pine and other evergreen trees. Hedgerows around the perimeter contain bindweed, sticky willy, honeysuckle, and trumpet flowers (Bindweed). Snowdrops and cowslips grow prolifically in the early spring. In the mid to late spring, bluebells can be found in the middle of the wood and on the waysides. The southern end of the wood is sometimes called Pennyfather&#39;s wood. It is situated on greensand, whereas the rest of Maulden Wood is situated on a cap of glacial boulder clay.</p><br>
<p>There also some rare species of sawfly (Symphyta, Pamphilius sylvorum and Caliroa cinxia, which feed on the resident oak (Quercus) trees. Another sawfly, Pamphilius gyllenhali, has been recorded in the wood, which feeds on willow Salix alba. There are also notable species from several major invertebrate groups including the</p><br>
<p>beetles, dragonflies and butterflies.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The north of Maulden Wood includes several Roman and Iron Age archaeological sites along Limbersey Lane and on the site of Limbersey Farm. There are also sites within the wood of medieval origin, especially on the north end of the wood, and on the west (Maulden) end of the wood.</p><br>
<p>The north end of the lay by on the A6 is the site of the 1961 A6 murder.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>Maulden Wood is open to the public all year round. It is accessed from the Deadman&#39;s Hill layby on the A6 adjacent to the wood. and from Maulden Church Meadow.</p><br>
<p>Holyoke Glacier is a 1.5-mile-long  glacier in the USA state of Alaska. It trends southeast on the west bank of College Fjord, 6.8 mi southwest of College Point and 65 mi east of Anchorage. It was named by USA Grant and D.F. Higgins, USGS, in 1908. It was named for Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Holyoke Glacier, which heads in a large cirque and is fed by two glaciers from a small cirque on the south, has two weak medial moraines extending from spurs between its south tributaries. There are no lateral moraines, but there are a few morainic patches along the terminus. The glacier is longer than Barnard Glacier, and extends out over the lip of its hanging valley. In 1910, the glacier nowhere extended to the borders of its barren zone, and the mature spruce forest between the small terminal barren zone and the fiord demonstrates that it has not extended beyond this barren zone for a century or more. No distinct signs of recent advance were seen. The cliff glaciers on the ledges south of Holyoke Glacier present no unusual features.</p><br>
<p>Circesium  was an ancient city in Osrhoene, corresponding to the modern city of Buseira, in the region of Deir ez-Zor in Syria, at the confluence of the Khabur River with the Euphrates.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Circesium was founded under the Roman Emperor Diocletian at the confluence of the Khabur River with the Euphrates, where the river was commonly crossed. Circesium replaced a still older city, called Sirhi in Assyrian texts.</p><br>
<p>Circesium passed temporarily into the hands of the Persians by the treaty made by the Emperor Jovian (363).</p><br>
<p>According to the Notitia Dignitatum, at the beginning of the 5th century it was the seat of the Praefectus of the Legio IIII Parthica.</p><br>
<p>The city was restored by Justinian I.</p><br>
<p>Benjamin of Tudela and many after him identified it wrongly with Kharkamis (Carchamish) (known to the Greeks as Europos or Oropos), one of the capitals of the Hittites, located at Jirbas or Jerablus.</p><br>
<h2>Bishopric</h2><br>
<p>The bishopric of Circesium was a suffragan of Edessa, the capital of the Roman province of Osrhoene.</p><br>
<p>A Nestorian writer says that a Bishop Jonas of this see was one of the participants at the First Council of Nicaea (325) who had suffered mutilation during the preceding persecution. However, his name does not appear in the authentic list. Abrahamius, took part in the Council of Chalcedon in 451 and was a signatory of the joint letter that the bishops of the province of Osrhoene sent to Byzantine Emperor Leo I the Thracian in 458 regarding the murder of Patriarch Proterius of Alexandria. Nonnus was a supporter of Severus of Antioch and was expelled by Emperor Justin I in 518. He also acted as a representative of the Monophysites at a conference held in Constantinople in 532. Davithas (David) was a member of the council called by Patriarch Menas of Constantinople in 536, and Thomas was at the Second Council of Constantinople in 553. Michael the Syrian lists fourteen Jacobite bishops of the see, apart from Nonnus, the last being of the 11th century.</p><br>
<p>No longer a residential bishopric, Circesium is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.</p><br>
<p>The Strivers&#39; Section is a historic district located in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Northwest Washington, D.C.</p><br>
<p>Strivers Section was historically an enclave of upper-middle-class African Americans, often community leaders, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It takes its name from a turn-of-the-20th-century writer who described the district as "the Strivers section, a community of Negro aristocracy." The name echoes that of Strivers&#39; Row in Harlem, a New York City historic neighborhood of black professionals.</p><br>
<p>Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Strivers&#39; Section Historic District is roughly bounded by Swann Street on the south, Florida Avenue on the north and west, the 16th Street Historic District on the east, and 19th Street on the west.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The area was envisioned as part of the capital city by Pierre Charles L’Enfant&#39;s 1791 plan; by 1852, plans were drawn up for 11 squares subdivided by streets. But the rural landscape remained largely uninhabited until the latter half of the century. Development began in the 1870s, encouraged by a north-south streetcar line along nearby 14th Street, and accelerated from about 1890 to 1910. Early residents including working-class people and professionals, African Americans, and whites. But the area became most strongly identified with the African American elites who were attracted by public transit and the nearby Howard University.</p><br>
<p>Today, the Strivers&#39; Section is still largely occupied by the Edwardian residences that have populated the area since its initial development, along with some apartment and condominium buildings, and a few small businesses. The area includes some 430 buildings constructed between 1875 and 1946 that are contributing properties to the historic district. It is the home of the national headquarters (1930 17th Street, NW) of Jack and Jill of America, which seeks to help children, especially African American children, obtain cultural opportunities, develop leadership skills, and form social networks.</p><br>
<h3>Notable residents</h3><br>
<p>Among its most notable residents was Frederick Douglass, runaway slave, abolitionist, orator, writer, and civil servant. Douglass built the southern three buildings of a five-house, Second Empire-style row located at 2000&ndash;2008 17th Street in 1875&ndash;76. Douglass&#39; son inherited the houses and lived at 2002 17th Street from 1877 until his death in 1908.</p><br>
<p>Other notable residents have included:</p><br>
<p>Calvin Brent, the late-19th-century architect lived on V Street.</p><br>
<p>James C. Dacy, editor, realtor and D.C. Recorder of Deeds in 1904-10, also lived in the area.</p><br>
<p>James E. Storum, the educator and entrepreneur who founded the Capital Savings Bank, the first African American-owned banking institution in the nation&#39;s capital, lived at 2004 17th Street.</p><br>
<p>Prominent figures who lived within a few blocks of the historic district boundaries include:</p><br>
<p>Langston Hughes (1902–1967), Harlem Renaissance poet, novelist, essayist, and playwright, lived at 1749 S Street, NW.</p><br>
<p>Charles Hamilton Houston (1895–1950), dean of Howard University&#39;s Law School, lived at 1744 S Street, NW.</p><br>
<p>Georgia Douglas Johnson (1880–1966), author and poet of the Harlem Renaissance, lived at 1461 S Street, NW.</p><br>
<p>Westborough State Hospital, originally "Westborough Insane Hospital", was a historic hospital in Westborough, Massachusetts, which sat on more than 600 acre. The core campus area was located between Lyman Street and Chauncy Lake, north of Massachusetts Route 9. The hospital was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>The hospital was established in 1884 on the grounds of the State Reform School for Boys. The existing buildings were renovated to accommodate the needs of a mental hospital and was opened on December 1, 1886. This was the first homeopathic hospital for the insane established in New England; but such hospitals existed in New York, Michigan, and perhaps other states.</p><br>
<p>The pioneering African-American psychiatrist Solomon Carter Fuller spent the majority of his career practicing at the hospital in the early 1900s. While there, he performed his ground-breaking research on the physical changes to the brains of Alzheimer&#39;s disease patients.</p><br>
<p>The hospital was closed in 2010, in anticipation of a new Worcester State Hospital opening in 2012. The ten-bed Deaf Unit, the two Adolescent Units, and the Intensive Residential Treatment Program (one step below State Hospital Level) programs were closed by June 2010.</p><br>
<p>On May 9, 2015, a memorial service was held in nearby Pine Grove Cemetery for the more than 500 patients who died at Westborough State Hospital and whose remains were unclaimed and subsequently buried in a potter&#39;s field. The service was part of a larger effort to put names to the graves of the deceased.</p><br>
<p>Le Grammont is a mountain in the Chablais Alps, near Le Bouveret in Valais. At 2,172 metres above sea level, it is one of the highest peaks overlooking Lake Geneva. Various trails lead to the summit, mostly from the southern side.</p><br>
<p>On the way to the summit, there is a mountain lake, the Lac de Taney.</p><br>
<p>The Tauredunum event of AD 563 is thought to have occurred on the slopes of Le Grammont, named for a Roman-era fortress situated close to the point where the Rhône flows into Lake Geneva.</p><br>
<p>During the Second World War, there is a recorded incident of a Lancaster of the Royal Air Force getting shot down by the Swiss anti-aircraft gunners and crashing into the mountain. The pilot of the aircraft was Horace Badge and all of the crew were lost.</p><br>
<p>Westminster Village–Academy Hill Historic District encompasses the historic first town center of Westminster, Massachusetts, as well as its later early-19th century commercial core. Centered at the junction Main and South Streets with Academy Hill Road, it contains fine examples of Colonial, Federal, and Greek Revival architecture, including the 1839 town hall. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Westminster was settled in 1737 and incorporated in 1759. Its early town center was located on a high point near the towns geographic center, now known as Academy Hill. That area included the town common, and was historically lined by houses and early civic buildings, including a church and a school house. None of the civic buildings have survived, leaving a collection of colonial and Federal period houses, to which the Colonial Revival Upton School was added in 1912. The town center migrated westward in the first half of the 19th century, when a turnpike (now Main Street) was opened, drawing first economic activity and then civic and religious buildings, while Academy Hill remained a desirable location for the towns upper class. The village reached its peak population around 1855, having grown as both a small industrial center and as a stage stop serving travelers. The town declined in economic importance after it was bypassed by the railroad.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is roughly centered on the junction of Main and South Streets, extending west along Main Street roughly to Adams Street, and eastward along Academy Hill Road to its triangular junction with Dawley Street. The older Academy Hill area is near the eastern end of the district, while the later town center is along Main Street. Most of the Main Street buildings are Greek Revival in character, although there are examples of later Victorian and early 20th-century Colonial Revival styles. The Forbush Library, built in 1901, and the town hall (1829) are the major civic buildings in the center.</p><br>
<p>The Old Centre Historic District is a historic district encompassing the historic town center of Winchendon, Massachusetts. It includes the town&#39;s first cemetery, the First Congregational Church, and the oldest surviving house  in town, and only one building constructed after 1850. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Land making up the town of Winchendon was granted to Massachusetts veterans of the 1690 Battle of Quebec from Ipswich, and was originally called Ipswich Canada. Early settlement did not take place until 1752, the same year the town common was laid out on the highest point in the town. Richard Day&#39;s house, probably built in 1752, still faces the common, and was considered the finest in the town at the time of its construction. Connected to other communities by a network of roads, the village did not grow significantly until after the French and Indian War, and the town was not incorporated until 1764. The village thrived in its early years, providing services to local farmers and to passing stagecoaches, but declined in the later 19th century, when economic activity and major transportation routes became focused in other areas of the town.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is centered on the triangular common that is the surviving remnant of that designated in 1752. It is located at the junction of five roads: High Street, Hale Street, Baldwinville Road, Teel Road, and Old County Road. It extends for short distances west on Hale Road and south on Old County Road, and a longer distance east on Teel Road to include the cemetery. The district&#39;s most prominent building is the 1850 First Congregational Church, but the common is faced by a number of fine Georgian and Federal houses.</p><br>
<p>The Bristen  is a mountain in the Glarus Alps, overlooking the valley of the Reuss and located to the south of Amsteg in the canton of Uri, Switzerland. The mountain is located about four kilometres north of Piz Giuv and the border with Graubünden. The Bristen is considered one of the main landmarks of the Canton of Uri.</p><br>
<h2>Geographic setting and description</h2><br>
<p>The Bristen is located about three kilometers to the south of the village also called Bristen in the Maderanertal and about four kilometers north of Piz Giuv, with the Portlilücke (2&#39;506 m) in between.</p><br>
<p>An arête on the north side of the mountain is divided after 200 meters into the northern arête and the northeastern arête. Located below the northern arête on 2095 m is the Bristensee - two hectare wide and 6,5 meters deep. On the western side of the mountain a steep arête leads down to the Fellital, the southern side is marked by another arête leading to the Zwächten (2853 m), which goes further to the Portlilücke.</p><br>
<p>To the east of the Bristen, on 2&#39;052 m lies the Etzlihütte.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Geologically the Bristen belongs to the aarmassif.The southern part of the mountain consists of several different types of rocks, among them rhyolite and amphibolite. Further to the south the typical aare-granite can be found. For amateur geology the region around the Bristen is interesting, as it is famous for its many different types of minerals and quartz.</p><br>
<p>The Selbsanft is a mountain massif in the Glarus Alps, overlooking the village of Linthal in the canton of Glarus. The Selbsanft is a large mountain massif consisting of several summits of which the highest is named Hideri Schibe. The massif is a buttress of the Bifertenstock and forms, along with Schiben, the ridge that separates the valleys of the Sand  and Limmernsee . A small glacier lies east of the summit.</p><br>
<p>The five main summits are, from north to south, the Vorder Selbsanft, also known as Hauserhorn (2,750 m, there are higher summits between the Vorder and Mittler Selbsanft, though), Mitttler Selbsanft, also known in Grison as Plattas Alvas (2,949 m), the Hinter Selbsanft (3,028 m), the highest peak of the Selbsanft triple. In a broader sense, the Vorderi Schibe (2,987 m) and the Hinderi Schibe (3,083 m), the highest summit of this massif, re also part of the massif.</p><br>
<p>The mountain lies within the municipality of Glarus Süd.</p><br>
<p>The Vorab is a mountain of the Glarus Alps, located on the border between the cantons of Glarus and Graubünden. The summit  is also named Bündner Vorab to distinguish it from a lower summit  named Glarner Vorab. A glacier runs down its eastern face where the valley continues a moderate inclination down towards Flims, where it can be seen for example from Caumasee. It cannot be seen from the adjacend municipalities on the south though. The northwestern face however consists of a sheer drop towards Elm.</p><br>
<p>Territorially it divides on the municipal areas of Laax on its eastern face, a narrow southern stripe within Siat and Elm on its northwestern face. The secondary peaks that belong to the massive include also the municipalities of Ruschein and Panix.</p><br>
<p>Since 1979 there is a terminal station of a platter lift near the Glarner Vorab. This comes up from the terminal station of a gondola lift ending at the edge of the glacier, all of these installations belonging to the skiing resort of Flims-Laax-Falera which uses the name of Laax only for winter marketing.</p><br>
<p>Piz Sardona  is a mountain in the Glarus Alps, located on the border between the cantons Glarus and St. Gallen. The 3,056 metres high mountain overlooks the valleys of Elm  and Calfeisen . Less than one kilometre south of the summit lies the tripoint  between the cantons of Glarus, St. Gallen and Graubünden. The summit itself is the northernmost point above 3,000 metres in Switzerland.</p><br>
<p>The massif is covered by a few small glaciers, the Sardonagletscher lying near the summit on the east side.</p><br>
<p>Piz Sardona is located within the Glarus thrust, a geologic UNESCO world heritage site, named Swiss Tectonic Arena Sardona.</p><br>
<p>The Foo Pass lies to the north of the Piz Sardona and carries a hiking trail from Weisstannen in St. Gallen to Elm in Glarus, forming part of the Alpine Pass Route between Sargans to Montreux.</p><br>
<p>Churfirsten is a mountain range in the Canton of St. Gallen, Switzerland. They form the natural boundary between the canton&#39;s Toggenburg and Sarganserland districts.</p><br>
<p>They are the southernmost range of the Appenzell Alps, separated from the Glarus Alps by the Seez river and Lake Walen.</p><br>
<p>They consist of a limestone ridge running east to west, with the individual peaks formed by erosion.</p><br>
<p>The ridge is defined much more sharply to the south than to the north, with an almost vertical drop of several hundred meters towards Walenstadtberg and eventually Lake Walen at 419 m. The southern slope of the range was significantly formed by the Rhine Glacier during the Würm glaciation.</p><br>
<p>The name is a plural, indicating the peaks forming the historical boundary of the bishopric of Chur.</p><br>
<p>It has historically also been folk-etymologized as Kurfürsten, i.e. the prince-electors of the Holy Roman Empire who in the later medieval period (until 1648) numbered seven, which in turn encouraged the count of seven main or "official" peaks.</p><br>
<p>The standard "seven peaks" of the Churfirsten are (from west to east):</p><br>
<p>Selun (2205 m)</p><br>
<p>Frümsel (2263 m)</p><br>
<p>Brisi (2279 m)</p><br>
<p>Zuestoll (2235 m)</p><br>
<p>Schibenstoll (2234 m)</p><br>
<p>Hinterrugg (2306 m)</p><br>
<p>Chäserrugg (2262 m)</p><br>
<p>The count of exactly seven peaks is contrived; sometimes, Chäserrugg is not included and counted as part of Hinterrugg, because of its topographical prominence of a mere 14 m.</p><br>
<p>The Churfirsten seven peaks listed above have remarkably uniform heights (within just above a 100 m difference); the ridge continues both to the east and the west with a number of further peaks between 2000 and 2200 m that are not usually included as Churfirsten:</p><br>
<p>Peaks to the west of Selun: Wart (2068 m), Schären (or Schäären, 2184 m), Nägeliberg (2153 m), Glattchamm (2084 m), Leistchamm (2101 m).</p><br>
<p>Peaks to the east of Chäserrugg: Tristenkolben (2159 m), Gamserrugg (2076 m).</p><br>
<p>an early 20th-century drawing (A. Heim 1913) of the Churfirsten as seen from the south, enumerating nine peaks:</p><br>
<p>Selun,</p><br>
<p>Frümsel,</p><br>
<p>Brisi,</p><br>
<p>Zuestoll,</p><br>
<p>Scheibenstoll, Hinterrugg,</p><br>

<p>The Trugberg is a mountain in the Bernese Alps, located south of the Mönch in the canton of Valais, Switzerland. It is located above the Konkordiaplatz where the névé of the Jungfraufirn on the west side and the Ewigschneefeld on the east side converge to form the Aletsch Glacier. Debris accumulating on both sides of the mountain form one of the two important supraglacial moraines of the Aletsch Glacier.</p><br>
<p>During their ascent of the Jungfrau in 1841, a group of explorers including Pierre Jean Édouard Desor and Louis Agassiz for a while thought that the Trugberg, hiding the Jungfrau from sight, was their destination. Eventually, they realized their error and decided to name the mountain Trugberg, meaning Deceitful Mountain.</p><br>
<p>The Trugberg was first climbed 13 July 1871 by Dr. Emil Burckardt from Basel, with the two local guides Peter Egger and Peter Schlegel. The route they took was by the east flank.</p><br>
<p>The Richard Peacon House, also known as the Octagon House, is an historic octagonal house located at 712 Eaton Street  in the Old Town district of Key West, Florida. It was built around 1885 for Richard Peacon , who was the owner of Key West&#39;s leading grocery store located at 800 Fleming Street and who later became a founding director of the Island City National Bank.</p><br>
<p>The Richard Peacon House is one of two extant octagon houses in Key West, the other being located about two blocks to the northwest at 620 Dey Street. This may make the Peacon House the southernmost octagon house in the continental United States. In 1980, world-famous fashion designer Calvin Klein bought the house from New York interior designer Angelo Donghia. Klein sold it in 1987. In 2000, it was featured in the book, Key West Gardens and Their Stories.</p><br>
<p>Richard Peacon was born in Key West on August 21, 1840. His parents came from the Bahamas. In 2006, the Peacon family&#39;s Bahamian connection and 712 Eaton Street were mentioned in Preserving Paradise: The Architectural Heritage of the Florida Keys.</p><br>
<p>The Peacon House is one of many contributing properties in the Key West Historic District. It is also featured on a walking tour of historic Key West and its cemeteries.</p><br>
<p>Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch is a lake located in Gilbert, Arizona, United States, east of Greenfield Rd and south of Guadalupe Dr. The preserve was created by the Town of Gilbert in 1999 to combine water resources, wildlife habitat, educational programs, and recreational opportunities. The Riparian Preserve consists of 110 acres, with 70 acres of 7 water recharge basins.</p><br>
<p>The Riparian Preserve also includes over 4.5 miles of trails that lead to various vegetative zones, gardens, a paleontology dig site, and an observatory. The Preserve houses approximately 298 species of birds, insects, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals.</p><br>

<p>The Nurzec is a river in north-eastern Poland, a tributary of the Bug River. It flows through the geographical region known in Polish as Wysoczyzny Podlasko-Bialoruskie . Administratively it lies within Podlaskie Voivodeship and Masovian Voivodeship.</p><br>
<p>The 2,102 km&sup2; drainage area is contained within the mezoregions known as Równina Bielska (the Bielsk Plain) and Wysoczyzna Wysokomazowiecka (the High Masovian Plateau).</p><br>
<p>The Nurzec rises in swamps south-east of Czeremcha near Stawiszcze close to the border with Belarus. Its confluence with the Bug River is close to the village of Wojtkowice Stare just south of Ciechanowiec.</p><br>
<p>The fall of the Nurzec is approximately 75 m from its source elevation of approximately 180 m above sea level, to its discharge elevation of 105.4 m.</p><br>
<h2>Tributaries</h2><br>
<p>Left bank: Nurczyk, Leśna, Czarna, Siennica, Kukawka, Pełchówka</p><br>
<p>Right bank: Bronka, Mień (with Markówka)</p><br>
<h2>Towns and villages</h2><br>

<p>Holy Ghost Catholic Church, also known as Holy Ghost Mission, is an historic octagon-shaped Roman Catholic church building on the island of Maui, located at 4300 Lower Kula Road in Waiakoa in the Kula district. It was designed by Father James Beissel and built by his parishioners who were Portuguese from the Azores and the Madeira Islands who had come to work on the local sugarcane plantation. The first mass was celebrated in it in 1895. It was consecrated in 1899 by Bishop Gulstan Ropert, the third vicar apostolic of the Vicariate Apostolic of the Sandwich Islands — now the Roman Catholic Diocese of Honolulu.</p><br>
<p>On April 29, 1983, it was placed on the Hawaii Register of Historic Places and on August 18, 1983, it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. It may be the only historic octagonal building in Hawaii.</p><br>
<p>In 1991 the building was closed for a year in order to undergo a major restoration. Holy Ghost Mission is still an active Roman Catholic congregation, which annually at Pentecost celebrates the Portuguese Holy Ghost Festival.</p><br>
<p>Lake Elkhorn is a 37 acre reservoir located in the Owen Brown area of Columbia, Maryland. It is Columbias third and largest lake. Its main features are a small dam and a park with a picnic pavilion and a two-mile  walking path around the lake. The path was built in 1982. It is surrounded by a park and townhouses. The lake, which was built in 1974, is named for the Elkhorn branch of the Little Patuxent River. In 1969, Spiro Agnew proclaimed the arrival of the first Columbia based scientific firm, Hittman Associates that relocated for favorable lease rates from Howard Research and Development. Hittman in turn was contracted by the EPA using Wilde Lake as an example to recommend reuse of storm water runoff from all of Columbias reservoir systems for residential drinking water to save on development costs.</p><br>
<p>The lake is overseen by the Columbia Association. The lake&#39;s location behind a large number of townhouses, though considered an attractive feature to homeowners, has raised concern following the drowning of a small child on September 2, 2005. A drowning occurred in 1980 and a maintenance worker drowned in March 1991. A movement was started soon after to erect a fence around playground next to the lake, but the community was split over this need, and a consultant concluded a fence was not necessary. The lake remained free of incidents until the 8 October 2013 when a body of a 32-year-old was found dead in the lake.</p><br>
<p>Eauripik Island is a coral atoll of three islands in the western Caroline Islands in the Pacific Ocean, and forms a legislative district in Yap State in the Federated States of Micronesia.</p><br>
<p>Its total land area is only 23.6 hectares 0.236 km&sup2, but it encloses a deep lagoon of 5.921 km&sup2;. With light southwest winds, there are usually breakers on both sides of the atoll. All of the islets are covered with coconut palms. There used to be five islets, but two were washed away in the late 1970s by typhoon waves.</p><br>
<p>Eauripik is located approximately 108 km southwest of Woleai.</p><br>
<p>The population of Eauripik Island was 113 in 2000. Many islanders usually reside on the Yap mainland as temporary laborers.</p><br>
<p>As with all of the Caroline Islands, sovereignty passed to the Empire of Germany in 1899. The island came under the control of the Empire of Japan after World War I, and was subsequently administered under the South Pacific Mandate. Following World War II, the island came under the control of the United States of America and was administered as part of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands from 1947, and became part of the Federated States of Micronesia from 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Sam Houston Hotel is a historic, upscale, boutique hotel in Downtown Houston, Texas, United States that is listed in the National Register of Historic Places under its former name. The hotel received its listing on April 17, 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Sam Houston Hotel Company built the hotel in 1924 to cater to the budget minded business traveler. It was designed by the firm Sanguinet, Staats, Hedrick & Gottlieb. The hotel operated until the 1970s by owners William and Vonnie BrooksThe Brooks Family. In 2002 it was extensively remodeled and reopened. Although it opened under its original name, it was re-branded as the Alden Houston because the owner hoped to expand the Alden brand to other cities. The hotel offers 100 rooms and suites. In 2010, the ownership of the Alden Houston formally transferred to Northwood Investors. In 2012, Northwood sold the hotel to American Liberty Hospitality and Gentry Mills Capital and returned to its original name as The Sam Houston Hotel. It underwent a renovation in 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Archibald Mill was a water-powered gristmill complex, now reduced to ruins, on the Cannon River in Dundas, Minnesota, United States. The mill was founded in 1857 and expanded with a second mill across the river in 1870. It was the first USA mill to produce and market patent flour, and its "Dundas Straight" was once considered the best flour in the country. The Archibald Mill is associated with the introduction of hard spring wheat to Minnesota, and was one of the nation&#39;s first outfits to convert fully into a roller mill. The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its national significance in commerce, industry, and flour milling.</p><br>
<p>Today only the foundation of the 1857 mill remains, while the ruins of the 1870 mill stand on the river&#39;s edge near a trailhead for the Mill Towns Trail.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first mill in Dundas was built by cousins John Sidney (J.S.) Archibald and George Archibald on the east bank of the Cannon River in late 1857. At the time, the Cannon River had only one channel in Dundas and an 1860 flood caused a split, routing water further east of the mill and creating an island, which still exists today. Across the river was a sawmill, built in 1856 and purchased by the Archibalds for use in constructing their mill. Wooden dams on both channels controlled water flow.</p><br>
<p>The mill used the most current technology available and produced flour of a fine quality. Called EXTRA, the flour was sold for $1 or $2 more per barrel than other local flours.</p><br>
<p>A second mill was built in 1870 on the west bank of the west channel. In 1879 the original mill was completely remodeled. A Hungarian roller system was added and it produced better quality flour at an increased rate.</p><br>
<p>On December 31, 1892, both mills caught fire and burned. The monetary loss of the fire was $30,000, partially covered by insurance. After the 1914 fire, the Archibald Mill was rebuilt for the final time and later partially destroyed in the early 1930s.</p><br>
<p>The Dunbar Hospital was the first hospital for the black community in Detroit, Michigan. It is located at 580 Frederick Street, and is currently the administrative headquarters of the Detroit Medical Society. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Building construction and description</h2><br>
<p>The building housing the Dunbar Hospital was built in 1892 by the Guy W. Vinton Company as a home for real estate developer Charles W. Warren. The home was constructed in a fashionable 19th century residential district.</p><br>
<p>The structure is a three-story home of mixed Romanesque Revival and Queen Anne style, built of red brick and rough-cut ashlar. The entrance is through a recessed, arched first-floor porch and the second story has a double-arch brick balcony. The roof is slate, with a bay-windowed gabled dormer surmounting the front façade.</p><br>
<h2>Founding of the Dunbar Hospital</h2><br>
<p>In 1894, Dr. James W. Ames, a graduate of both Straight University and Howard University, arrived in Detroit after a stint of teaching in New Orleans.</p><br>
<p>The nationally famous black poet Paul Laurence Dunbar, popular in both the black and white community, visited Detroit and lent his voice to those supporting Pingree, penning the poem, "Vote for Pingree and Vote for Bread." Both Ames and Pingree won their respective elections, and Ames spent the next two years in the legislature. He was the last black elected until the 1920s.</p><br>
<p>Two decades later, in the years following World War I, the black population of Detroit soared. In 1910, fewer than 6000 blacks called the city home; in 1917 more than 30,000 blacks lived in Detroit. The increase in black residents led to a crisis in health care. Hospitals were still segregated, and physicians like Ames were required to ask permission to admit black patients. Often black patients were simply denied care. The increase in the black population threatened to overwhelm the city&#39;s 30 black doctors.</p><br>
<p>In 1918, Ames led the group of 30 black physicians too form the Allied Medical Society.</p><br>
<h2>Later history</h2><br>
<p>In 1928, demand led Dunbar Hospital to move from its first home to a larger facility several blocks to the east. The facility was renamed Parkside Hospital, and continued in operation until 1962.

<p>Victoria Grist Windmill is an historic gristmill in Memorial Square in Victoria, Texas, United States. The windmill was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 30, 1976 and became an American Society of Mechanical Engineers Landmark in May, 1991.</p><br>
<p>The windmill was built in 1870 and is probably the last remaining windmill of European design in the Southwestern United States. Standing 35 feet high and supporting four 15-foot blades, the Dutch turret-mill style windmill was constructed by German immigrant Fred Meiss, Jr. and Otto Fiek near Spring Creek. The turret-style allowed the top to be turned so the sails face the wind. The millstones were made in Europe and shipped through the port of Indianola. The stones were capable of grinding 500 pounds of cornmeal a week. The walls of the mill are constructed of wooden logs and covered with shakes. In 1935, the Victoria Grist Windmill was moved from its earlier location (west of Victoria) to Memorial Square.</p><br>
