<p>The Peabody Institute is the public library of Danvers, Massachusetts, established in 1854. The current building at 15 Sylvan Street was constructed for the Peabody Institute in 1891 by Little & Brown. The historic structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Danvers was formed out of part of South Danvers (now Peabody) in 1855. Philanthropist and native son George Peabody donated $50,000 for the construction of a library for the new town. The first building was designed by Gridley J. F. Bryant and built in 1868-69; this Gothic Revival structure was destroyed by fire in 1890. The library&#39;s trustees elected to rebuild on the same site, retaining Little & Brown (whose chief draftsman was a Danvers resident) to design the replacement. The present Classical Revival structure was completed in 1892. The building was transferred from the trustees to the town in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The library is located in a residential area south of the Danvers central business district. It is set in a park of over 4 acre on a low knoll. It is a two-story wood frame building, whose exterior is flushboarding treated to look like masonry. It has a low-pitch gabled roof, which is surrounded by a low balustrade, and is set on a granite foundation. Its main facade faces north, and is distinguished by a semicircular portico projecting over the center of five bays, supported by smooth Doric columns. This portico shelters the main entrance, which is flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a round arch. The round arch is repeated in the immediately flanking bays over sash windows. A semicircular portico is also located on the south side, but has no entrance. The interior of the building originally included an auditorium space on the upper level, but has been altered and now houses only library facilities. This auditorium was used for many years for a variety of functions, including lectures and high school graduation ceremonies. The building interior was extensively altered and expanded in 1981, with only minimal impact to the exterior.</p><br>
<h2>Finance</h2><br>
<p>In fiscal year 2008, the town of Danvers spent 1.54% ($1,087,991) of its budget on its public library—some $40 per person.</p><br>
<p>The Old Garrison House is a historic First Period house at 188 Granite Street in Rockport, Massachusetts. It is one of the only surviving examples of colonial-era squared log construction. The main block of the house is estimated to have been built c. 1700 based on an analysis of the construction methods used to build it. An ell was added onto the rear of the house in the late 18th century, and a shed-like wing was added to the west rear in the 19th century. Later in the 19th century a single story kitchen wing was added onto the ell.</p><br>
<p>Local histories suggest that the house may have been built as early as 1675, and that it may have been home for a time to Elizabeth Proctor, one of the accused in the Salem witch trials. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>High Street Cemetery is a historic cemetery at 45 High Street in Danvers, Massachusetts. The 0.6 acre cemetery is one of the older cemeteries in town, and occupies a prominent location in the town center.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was first used sometime in the 18th century; the oldest dated gravestone bears the date 1758, for the wife of Amos Putnam. The parcel was formally deeded for use as a private burying ground in 1805. Its early documented burials include a number of American Revolutionary War veterans, the most notable of which was Samuel Page, a Continental Army captain who later became a local businessman, politician and merchant shipowner.</p><br>
<p>Although the cemetery was at laid out in a fairly rural area, it developed in the first half of the 19th century to become the town center, and the cemetery was soon hemmed in by development on all sides. In 1870 the town voted to acquire the cemetery, and closed it to further use except to those who (according to the 1805) had customarily used it. The last new burial took place in 1875; several graves (particularly some of those of Revolutionary War veterans) were relocated here from other burial grounds in 1929.</p><br>
<p>The protective wall around the cemetery has its own distinctive history. According to the 1805 deed, the cemetery was supposed to be surrounded by a fence at least 5 ft high, and was documented as having recently been so enclosed. The cemetery was described in 1848 as being surrounded by a mortared stone wall, but it did not meet the required height. There is some evidence that the wall was once topped by iron fencing, but whether this predates to the town&#39;s purchase or not is unknown. Early 20th-century images of the cemetery show a picket fence on High Street. The wrought iron gate carries a date of 1843, but was not described in the 1848 history.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. Because of the number of veterans&#39; graves in the cemetery, it is a focal point of local Memorial Day commemorations.</p><br>
<p>Greenlawn Cemetery is a historic cemetery at 195 Nahant Road in Nahant, Massachusetts. Development of the 5.7 acre cemetery was one of the first civic projects of the town of Nahant after its separation from adjacent Lynn in 1853. The cemetery was established in 1856 on 2 acre of land, and has been extended several times to its present size. Its dominant feature is the Ellingwood Chapel, a Gothic Revival structure built in 1920. A 3.9 acre portion of the cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Nahant occupies a narrow peninsula that juts south of Cape Ann from the city of Lynn, to which it is connected by a natural sand causeway. Greenlawn Cemetery is located in western Nahant, on the south side of Nahant Road, the major east-west road through the town. It is bordered on the road by a stone wall, with the Francis H. Johnson Gate at its center providing the principal access. The lane runs southerly, bisecting the cemetery to a circle near the southern boundary where the Veterans Memorial Obelisk is located; from here a lane runs east to the Louise Beal Memorial Gateway at its southeast corner. The cemetery is bisected east-west by a tree-lined lane extending west from the main lane, and by the Ellingwood Chapel to the east.</p><br>
<p>Nahant was originally settled as part of Lynn, and was largely agrarian until the mid-19th century, when summer resort development began to take place in its eastern half. The town was separated from Lynn in 1853, and the creation of a town cemetery was an early subject of discussion at town meetings. The oldest portion of Greenlawn Cemetery, a 2 acre parcel roughly encompassing the present cemeterys southern half, was acquired in 1856. A receiving tomb was built the same year, and the first burial took place in 1857. The Soldiers Memorial was dedicated in 1866 to the communitys American Civil War dead. By 1918 further land acquisitions had given the cemetery most of its present configuration, and Ellingwood Chapel was built in 1920, to a design by the architectural firm of Cram and Ferguson. It was funded by Mary Johnson, in honor of her late husband&#39;s parents, Joseph Johnson, Jr. and Joanna Ellingwood Johnson.</p><br>
<p>The Marion County Courthouse is the seat of government for Marion County, Ohio, United States. Located at the heart of the city of Marion, it is a sister of the courthouses that stand in Washington Court House in Fayette County, Ohio, and Charlotte, Eaton County, Michigan. All three were designed by architect David W. Gibbs. The Fayette County Courthouse was built during 1882–1885, as was the one in Eaton County Michigan, which uses brick and stone for its exterior rather than stone for the Ohio built structures. The Marion County Courthouse was built during 1884–1886. The blueprints are a modification from even older designs for the Henry and Union County Courthouses.</p><br>
<p>Ten portholes are decorated with sandstone heads of various figures. Four of them are meant to depict various races—a white woman, an African man, an Asian man, and an American Indian man. Other heads include two settler girls and a settler woman, plus a head similar to depictions of William Shakespeare.</p><br>
<p>In the 1970s, county officials announced a plan to perform extensive changes the buildings interior, which had previously experienced few modifications since construction. The Marion County Historical Society protested the plans and aroused substantial public displeasure; preparations were made for a referendum to repeal the plans, and enough local residents signed a ballot petition that it would have qualified for a vote, but no vote was held because Ohio law does not permit referenda of the sort. Numerous original wood carvings and paintings were destroyed, ceilings were dropped, and aluminum doors installed. County officials sought to mollify local ire by retaining the buildings exterior, including restoring the statue of Justice atop the tower.</p><br>
<p>Col de Portel  is a mountain pass in the French Pyrenees between Saint-Girons and Foix in the "massif de l&#39;Arize".</p><br>
<h2>Details of the climb</h2><br>
<p>From Saint-Girons (west), the climb to the Col de Portel crosses the Col de la Crouzette (1,241 m). To the Col de la Crouzette the climb is 11.2 km long, at an average gradient of 6.5%, with a short section at 10.8%. From the Col de la Crouzette to the summit is a further 3.5 km, gaining an extra 191 m, with the steepest section (near the summit) at 8.0%.</p><br>
<p>Starting from la Mouline, (east) the climb to the Col de Portel crosses the Mur de Péguère (1,375 m). To the Mur de Péguère the climb is 18 km long; over this distance, the climb is 872 m (an average of 4.8%). From the Mur de Péguère to the summit is a further 3.5 km, gaining a further 57 m height.</p><br>
<h2>Appearances in the Tour de France</h2><br>
<p>The Col de Portel was crossed on stage 11 of the 2008 Tour de France.</p><br>
<p>The Old Third District Courthouse in New Bedford, Massachusetts, United States, is located at the corner of Second and William streets. It was built in 1853 by Russell Warren in the Greek Revival architectural style, as the home of the New Bedford Institute for Savings, a local bank. After the bank moved, the Bristol County courts came in. They, too, eventually outgrew it and moved elsewhere in the city. Since the creation of New Bedford Whaling National Historic Park in 1996, it has been used by the National Park Service  as the park&#39;s visitor center.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building itself is a small two-story three-by-three-bay structure of brick with a raised basement and sandstone facade. A small bracketed cornice tops the windows and main entrance on William Street, which is fronted by a granite balustraded porch. The roofline is marked by a pediment. "THIRD DISTRICT COVRT OF BRISTOL" is carved into the second story in prominent letters.</p><br>
<p>It began life as the NBISs building. When whaling declined in New Bedford, to be replaced by textiles, the bank moved to larger quarters downtown where it has remained ever since. In 1896 the courts moved in, but later needed more space themselves and moved out. During the mid-20th century it became a store, selling antiques at one time and auto parts at another. It had come back around to being used as a branch by Fleet Bank in 1995 when New Bedfords Waterfront Historic Preservation LEague (WHALE) bought it and turned it over to the NPS.</p><br>
<p>In 1971 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is one of 20 contributing properties to the New Bedford Historic District, a National Historic Landmark, and diagonally opposite the USA Customhouse, also a National Historic Landmark.</p><br>
<h2>Visitor Center</h2><br>
<p>Inside the building, during its hours of operation, park rangers offer brochures and guided walking tours of the historical park, which covers much of the waterfront area of New Bedford. The parks gift shop is also located on the premises. According to a 1999 study conducted for the Park Service, it is the most frequent start of a visitors journey through the park.</p><br>
<p>Uthörn  is a small German island adjacent to Sylt in the district of Nordfriesland, and as such it is Germany&#39;s northernmost isle right after Sylt proper. It belongs to the List municipality.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The island is situated in the so-called Königshafen (Kings Harbour), a bay on the eastern shore of Sylt which is facing the shallow tidal flats of the Wadden Sea in that area. Uthörn is located north of the town of List, only a kilometre away from the Ellbogen (Elbow) peninsula of Sylt, which is in fact Germanys northernmost area.</p><br>
<p>Uthörn is almost 800 meters long and up to 240 meters wide, its area amounts to about 13 ha. The island is relatively young, as it developed out of a sand bar, which due to wind drift of sand from Sylt has now grown to a height of approximately 4.10 m above sea level and is no longer submerged during high tide. It is thought that the growth of Uthörn is likely to continue in the future.</p><br>
<p>The island is overgrown by pioneer species of plants and the common dune vegetation like marram grass.</p><br>
<h2>Protection</h2><br>
<p>Uthörn is located just a few metres off the shore of Sylt and can be reached on foot through the shallow sea. But as it provides space for the hatching and resting of rare and endangered seabirds and is situated inside the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park, it may only be entered with special permission.</p><br>
<p>Engine House No. 18 is a fire station in the West Adams section of Los Angeles, California.</p><br>
<p>Built in 1904, the station was designed in the Mission Revival style by noted architect John Parkinson, whose later works included Los Angeles City Hall, Union Station, and Bullocks Wilshire. In 1915, Engine House No. 18 was one of a dozen stations closed because of budget cutbacks resulting from the "two-platoon ordinance" passed by the Los Angeles City Council in 1915. The station re-opened in 1920 and remained an operating fire station until 1968. In 1932, former fireman James F. Fourong was arrested for burglarizing Engine House No. 18. Fourong had looted other fire stations by phoning in false alarms and then entering the firehouse while the men responded to the call. In February 1932, Fourong attempted a robbery at Engine House No. 18 but was surprised by a fireman while burglarizing the lockers. After the building had been vacant for sixteen years, the Community Redevelopment Agency in 1984 agreed to a $28,000 contract with Woodford & Bernard, architects, to prepare construction documents for the restoration of Engine House No. 18. The plan was to restore and convert the firehouse into a community-oriented professional training center at a cost of $225,000.</p><br>
<p>Through a competitive bidding process that began in December 2009, the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles (CRA/LA) awarded the Exceptional Children’s Foundation (ECF) the opportunity to purchase Engine House No. 18. ECF purchased the property in 2011 with the goal of converting the cultural landmark into a fine arts training center for adults with special needs and a community creative space for the residents of South Los Angeles.</p><br>
<p>Renovations of the site began in June 2012. ECF re-opened Engine House No. 18 as its South L.A. Art Center in the spring of 2013. Approximately 50 participants with developmental disabilities annually are provided with daily fine art instruction, life skills training, and case management services at this location. The center also hosts exhibits of the participants&#39; artwork along with creations by other community artists.</p><br>
<p>The Cuyahoga County Courthouse stretches along Lakeside Boulevard at the north end of the Cleveland Mall in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. The building was listed on the National Register along with the mall district in 1975. Other notable buildings of the Group Plan are the Howard M. Metzenbaum USA Courthouse designed by Arnold Brunner, the Cleveland Public Library, the Board of Education Building, Cleveland City Hall, and Public Auditorium.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Cuyahoga County was established in 1807 with the county seat still in the air. The county decided to place the temporary county seat in the largest settlement of Cleveland. The courts met in various taverns and inns around town while waiting for the courthouse to be built. This first courthouse was designed and built by Levi Johnson. The building was completed in 1813 and was a simple Federal style stone structure. The structure was five bays wide and two piles deep, with doors located in the center and to the right corner of the facade. A rectangular window was located between these doors with a smaller square window to the left of the central door. Five rectangular windows lit the second floor. The pitched roof was framed by brick chimneys on either end. The clapboard siding was painted red with white trim boards.</p><br>
<p>The county occupied this courthouse when the decision was made to make Cleveland the permanent county seat. The county soon erected a new courthouse in 1828. Henry Noble built the new courthouse of brick two-stories tall. The front of the courthouse was framed by four colossal Doric columns supporting an entablature. The interior was illuminated by large rectangular windows piercing the facade. The flat roof supported a cupola which located in the center of the building. The cupola rose on Ionic columns and supported a lantern capped by a weather vane. This courthouse remained in use until the 1850s.</p><br>
<p>The growth of Cleveland, and consequently the legal business of Cuyahoga County, had for some time foreshadowed the necessity for increased courthouse facilities, and action was taken in the period now under consideration. It was decided to clear Public Square permanently of official buildings, and accordingly a new structure and a new site were agreed upon. This latter was situated just north of the northwest corner of Public Square, on the north side of Rockwell street. On November 10, 1857, the County Commissioners contracted with George P. Smith and James Pannell to erect a substantial stone edifice, three stories high, at a cost of $152,500. The new third courthouse was designed by J.J. Husband, an amateur designer, built in 1858. This new building, built of stone was designed in the Italianate style. The building has a square footprint with a central entrance. The entrance is contained a slightly projected bay with two windows on either side. The windows in the basement are small arched panels with the main floor windows slightly larger. The second floor windows are large arched windows separated by Corinthian pilasters. A decorative frieze separated the second floor from the third floor and a pediment topping the center projection. A mansard roof tops the building with dormer windows lining the facade. Four large chimneys framed the building on the sides. This building, eventually called "the old court-house," filled all the requirements of county business until 1875.</p><br>
<p>Ground was then purchased on Seneca Street (West 3rd St.), running back to the county jail on Rockwell street, and a contract let for a new court-house, at a cost of $250,000. So, in 1875 a 4th courthouse was constructed. It was nearly square, running seventy feet in each direction with rooms for various officials and the courts in the Seneca(West 3rd St.)front of the building, with the jail in the rear.</p><br>
<p>In 1884 the county was faced with a problem of room and space in the courtroom and the decision was made to expand the current building than to build a new one. Therefore, a still further increase of facilities was made in 1884, when two stories were added to the old building on public square, at a cost of nearly $100,000. The building transformed from a -story building to a 5-story building. The facade was changed as well with the central projection going from one arched window to three arched windows on the second and third floor and four arched windows on the fourth and fifth. To either side of the central projection is an arched window. A larger pediment tops the projection with dentil moldings lining the overhangs. The hipped roof rose to support a small gabled tower with a decorative frieze. The chimneys on the sides were built up to rise over the roof and were each equipped with pipes that ventilated many fireplaces and heaters.</p><br>
<p>The county was in need once again of larger facilities for county operations and the design was awarded to Walter Blythe. The site that was chosen was along the Cleveland Mall and was designed in the style that matched many of the Beaux Arts style of the federal buildings sprouting along the Washington D.C. Mall. It is one of several buildings built as part of the Cleveland Group Plan of 1903, an early City Beautiful-era city plan designed by Daniel Burnham, Arnold Brunner, and John Carrere. All previous courthouses have since been demolished.</p><br>
<h2>Exterior</h2><br>
<p>The building was constructed from 1906–1912 by the architectural firm of Lehman & Schmitt. The building is Beaux Arts style and is constructed of Milford pink granite from Massachusetts. The rusticated masonry of the ground floor includes deeply recessed and arched windows and doors. A protruding keystone tops each one. The front entrance is flanked by bronze statues of Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton sculpted by Karl Bitter. Directly above the front entry doors are three large arched windows between fluted columns of the Ionic order allowing daylight into the courtroom within. The frieze of the cornice includes the inscription "Cuyahoga County Courthouse". Above the cornice are several stone statues of historical law givers. Two of these figures, of Edward I and John Hampden, were sculpted by Daniel Chester French. The rear elevation facing Lake Erie is composed similarly, but with the inscription "Liberty is Obedience to Law". A pediment with a plain tympanum surmounts the central element of the facade on both the north and south elevations. A statue of Alfred the Great stands on the north side of the building.</p><br>
<p>The interior contains murals by Frank Brangwyn, Violet Oakley, Charles Yardley Turner, Max Bohm and Frederick Wilson.</p><br>
<p>Catherineberg Sugar Mill Ruins is an historic site located in the Virgin Islands National Park, east of Cruz Bay on Saint John, USA Virgin Islands. The ruins are an example of an 18th-century sugar and rum factory.</p><br>
<p>To reach Catherineberg, turn north on John Head Road from Centerline Road. There is room for several cars to park right next to the windmill.</p><br>
<p>The "most impressive" ruin is that of an unusual windmill tower. Another ruin is a horse mill.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>A sugar plantation from the 18th to the 19th centuries, the farm eventually became land for grazing cattle.</p><br>
<p>In 1733 one of the first significant slave rebellions in the New World took place on Saint John when African slaves took over the island for six months. During the slave revolt, the farm was the headquarters of the Amina warriors.</p><br>
<p>Today the sugar mill ruins are located in a protected area in the Virgin Islands National Park. It is one of 17 properties in the park that were listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places by 1981. The property was added to the USA National Register of Historic Places on March 30, 1978.</p><br>

<p>The Shockoe Hill Cemetery is a historic cemetery located on Shockoe Hill in Richmond, Virginia.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Established in 1820, with the initial burial in 1822, Shockoe Hill Cemetery was the first City-owned municipal burial ground in Richmond. The cemetery expanded in 1833, in 1850, and in 1870, when it reached its present size of 12.7 acres.</p><br>
<p>Shockoe Hill Cemetery is on the Virginia Landmarks Register and National Register of Historic Places. The City still owns and maintains the cemetery. The Friends of Shockoe Hill Cemetery, a volunteer group formed in 2006, acts as a steward of the cemetery and assist with upkeep and improvement, including organizing the placement of government-issue military markers.</p><br>
<p>Among many notables interred here are Chief Justice John Marshall, Unionist spymaster Elizabeth Van Lew, Revolutionary War hero Peter Francisco, and Virginia Governor William H. Cabell. More than a thousand servicemen are known to be buried here, including 27 Revolutionary War veterans; an estimated 430 or so War of 1812 veterans; and an estimated 600 or so Civil War soldiers, both veterans and wartime casualties. The Society of the War of 1812 in Virginia has suggested that more veterans of that war are buried at Shockoe Hill, than at any other cemetery in the country. About five hundred Union Army POWs had been buried just outside the east cemetery wall from 1861 to 1863, but their remains were moved to Richmond National Cemetery, three miles to the east, in 1866–67. Two markers, one placed by the United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1938, and the other by the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States (a/k/a MOLLUS) in 2002, memorialize those POW burials.</p><br>
<p>The Cemetery is open to burials of family members in existing family plots; the last such burial occurred in 2003. In July 2016 the City reclaimed title to several unused plots, on one of which will stand a columbarium with niches to hold cremated remains. Those plots and niches are now available for purchase by the general public, marking the first sale of grave spaces in the Cemetery since about 1900.</p><br>
<p>Shockoe Hill Cemetery is across the street from the Hebrew Cemetery of Richmond, a separate and privately-owned cemetery.</p><br>
<h2>Notable burials</h2><br>
<p>The cemetery holds the graves of Chief Justice John Marshall; attorney John Wickham (counsel for Aaron Burr in Burrs 1807 treason trial); Revolutionary War hero Peter Francisco; famed Union spy Elizabeth Van Lew, as well as many members of her spy network; John Minor Botts, a Congressman and later a dedicated Unionist who helped lead opposition to the Confederate government; Virginia Governor William H. Cabell; Virginia Acting Governors John Mercer Patton (General George S. Pattons great-grandfather), John Rutherfoord, and John Munford Gregory; Judge Dabney Carr; United States Senators Powhatan Ellis and Benjamin W. Leigh; Dr. Daniel Norborne Norton, developer of the Norton grape; dozens of Revolutionary War soldiers; and hundreds of Confederate soldiers. It is believed the more than 400 veterans of the War of 1812 buried here is the largest such assemblage in the country.</p><br>
<p>Many people important in the life of Edgar Allan Poe, who grew up and lived much of his adult life in Richmond, are interred at Shockoe Hill. Among them are Frances K. Allan, beloved foster-mother to Poe, and her husband John; Sarah Elmira Royster Shelton, perhaps the great love of Poe&#39;s life; and Jane Stith Craig Stanard, wife of prominent judge Robert Stanard and the inspiration for his poem "To Helen".</p><br>
<p>Cool Spring Farm — also known as Rockdale Spring Farm and Torytown — was a wilderness estate settled by Colonel Morgan Morgan , long celebrated as the first permanent European settler in what would become West Virginia. The Welch-born Morgan was granted 1,000 acre here in 1735, but he is believed to have first settled there in 1731. Recent research indicates that Morgan&#39;s settlement was not the first, but was preceded by a German settlement at what became "New Mecklinberg", possibly as early as 1726.</p><br>
<p>Morgan Morgan&#39;s fifth son, Zackquill Morgan (1735-1795), built the house in 1761, but sold the farm in 1765 and moved west to Monongalia County, Virginia, now West Virginia, to establish his namesake settlement of Morgantown in 1781.</p><br>
<p>After changing hands several times, the property was purchased by John McKown, Jr. in 1827. His son Edmund renamed the farm "Rockdale Spring Farm". The sons of John McKown owned considerable lands in the area of Gerrardstown during the late 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The Annual Bay to Bay Trailable Yacht Race is an annual sailing event for monohull and multihull trailable yachts conducted by the Hervey Bay Sailing Club on the first weekend in May each year through the Great Sandy Marine Park and past the Great Sandy National Park and the World Heritage listed Fraser Island. The race is sailed from Tin Can Bay to Hervey Bay through the Tin Can Bay Inlet and the Great Sandy Strait and into Hervey Bay with an overnight stop at Garry&#39;s Anchorage between Fraser Island and Stewart Island. The race is Queensland’s largest trailable yacht race and one of the three largest trailable yacht passage races in Australia.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Bay to Bay race was originally conceived by members of the Hervey Bay Sailing Club on 18 April 1980. Originally suggested as a one-day Trailable Yacht race from Tin Can Bay to Hervey Bay, the course length of approximately 87km saw it modified to a two-day event, with an overnight stop at Garry&#39;s Anchorage part way up the Great Sandy Strait. Although it was originally thought that no more than 30 people would participate in the race, over 114 vessels arrived to compete in the inaugural event in 1981.</p><br>
<p>Following the success of the first event, word spread through the sailing community with entries climbing to a high of 230 and dropping slowly to a now stable approximately 140 boats. Conditions have varied from year to year, with heavy winds (causing equipment failure and retirements), to light winds (resulting in a shortening of the course).</p><br>
<h2>Eligibility</h2><br>
<p>Trailable Yacht eligibility includes Type 1 Standard, Type 1-A Sports Like and Type 2 Sports Monohull Boats and Type 3 Standard and Type 4 Sports Multihull Boats.</p><br>
<p>All boats shall be:</p><br>
<p>Strongly built, watertight, capable of withstanding solid water, properly rigged, fully seaworthy and meeting the standards of the Yachting Association Special Regulations and the requirements of Queensland Transport Marine Safety Queensland, Queensland Boating and Fisheries Patrol and Queensland Water Police</p><br>
<p>Crewed by a minimum of two persons one of whom is aged at least 18 years and capable of accepting the responsibilities of the owner and all of whom are fit to face the conditions of the race</p><br>
<p>Greater than 4.8m in length</p><br>
<p>All monohull boats shall be transported on the road without special permit and on the same trailer used to launch and retrieve it without the assistance of external equipment or detachment from the towing vehicle</p><br>
<p>All monohulls shall be ballasted boats designed and built to resist capsize</p><br>
<p>Rigged and sailed according to the boats details declared on the entry form</p><br>
<p>All boats must comply with the requirements of all relevant government authorities including Queensland Transport Operations Marine Safety Regulations for smooth and partially smooth waters and Queensland Transport Marine Pollution Regulations for the Great Sandy Strait (discharge of raw sewage is not permitted in the Great Sandy Strait)and Queensland Parks and Wild Life requirements. The race is through a largely sparsely populated and remote area and there are no facilities for toileting, waste disposal, sleeping, refreshments, food, fuel, ships chandlery or boat repair at Garry&#39;s Anchorage on the Saturday night and competitors are expected provide all of the above provisions and to carry sufficient food, water and fuel to cater for extreme weather conditions.</p><br>
<h2>Racing</h2><br>
<p>The Notice of Race, Sailing Instructions and other essential event information is available on the event website www.herveybaysailingclub.org.au.</p><br>
<p>The race is conducted in a number of divisions with separate start times; generally the slowest start first. On the first day the event is staged from the Tin Can Bay Yacht Club with the first start at 1100hrs north of the Snapper Creek Boat Harbour from which the boats will sail down the Tin Can Bay inlet, cross behind the Wide Bay Bar onto the inside of Fraser Island and then head along the Great Sandy Strait to the finish near Fig Tree Creek (before 1600hrs) just south of the overnight stopover at Garry&#39;s Anchorage a destination they need to reach before dark. During the night, yachts are either beached or anchored up individually or rafted together in the Anchorage.

<p>Division 5-4: Type 4 Sports Multihull Boats (typically Corsairs, Farriers, Graingers)</p><br>
<p>Within the fleet if a minimum number of any particular boat class are entered, then an additional class trophy is also raced for.</p><br>
<p>Handicapping, the race committee applies two different types of handicaps the CBH, SMS or OMR and the PBH. The CBH, SMS or OMR is a measure of the boats Class, Individually Modified Class or One of A Kind design rules and measurement specifications and is used to provide even and fair best of class / individual boat corrected time racing. Where a boat does not have an established CBH, SMS or OMR in the current ATYSBR Appendix A CBH list, ASBA SMS list or MYCQ OMR list the race committee will not allocate a CBH, SMS or OMR handicap for that boat and those boats will only race on PBH corrected time. The PBH is measure of the capability of a particular boat and crew combination, these in theory give all boats and competitors regardless of age or skill an even and fair chance of winning on PBH corrected time. The Bay to Bay Race Committee will set PBH ratings for each boat based on past bay to bay and other relevant performance.</p><br>

<h2>Archaeology</h2><br>
<p>An archaeological site was discovered 6 km east of Khalde by V. Hankey in 1963. The site is located on the western terraces of a conical hill, west of the main village called Qalaa&#39; Tahun-el-Haoua. An unpublished collection was also made by R. Saidah. Various potsherds were found and dated back to the Early Bronze Age by Maurice Dunand. Amongst the pottery was a sherd with a cylinder seal showing pattern of marching and alternating goats and lions that was similar to sherds showing a similar type of animalism from Byblos, Megiddo and other Palestinian and Syrian sites dating to the EB period. Although some thinner pink ware was found, sherds were usually red or grey, thick and well fired. The forms suggested were large, flat based jars with flared rims. Decorations found included incised patterns, made with combs to form bands of chevrons. Similar finds were discovered at Jaita I, Kaffer Jarra Roueisse, Nahr Damour, Aramoun and Khallet-el-Khazen. Two used flint blades were found along with part of a basalt object.</p><br>
<p>Founder&#39;s Hall, also known as Haskell Hall, is a historic academic building on the campus of Atlantic Union College in Lancaster, Massachusetts, United States.

<p>Ware&ndash;Hardwick Covered Bridge is a historic covered bridge spanning the Ware River on Old Gilbertville Road and Bridge Street in Ware and Hardwick, Massachusetts. Built in 1886 and extensively rebuilt in the 2000s, it is one of a small number of surviving 19th-century covered bridges in the state. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Ware-Hardwick Bridge is located in the village of Gilbertville, a 19th-century industrial village on the Ware River in southern Hardwick and northern Ware. It is a single-span lattice truss in a style patented by architect Ithiel Town, with its exterior clad in vertical board siding and topped by a gabled metal roof. The siding does not fully cover the sides, leaving a strip exposed for light, and extends partway inside each portal. The bridge is about 137 ft long and 25 ft wide, carrying a single lane of traffic.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was built in 1886, and is managed by a joint committee of the two towns. It is one of a small number of 19th-century covered bridges that remain in the state. The bridge notably survived a major flooding event in the 1930s, when the textile mills in Gilbertville were destroyed.</p><br>
<p>The state ordered the structure closed in August 2002 after an inspection concluded the bridge could not bear any more weight, due in part to insect infestation.</p><br>
<p>Harvard Shaker Village Historic District is a historic former Shaker community located roughly on Shaker Road, South Shaker Road, and Maple Lane in Harvard, Massachusetts. It was the oldest Shaker settlement in Massachusetts and the second oldest in the United States.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Harvard&#39;s Shaker community began with dissenters from the local state-funded church, who left the state church and founded "Square House" in 1769 and in 1781-1782 affiliated themselves with Mother Ann Lee, founder of the Shaker denomination, when she visited the community. The Harvard Shakers "split the community into four “families”, North, East, South and Church (where the elders and elderesses lived)--only the latter two remain today."</p><br>
<p>By the early twentieth century membership had dwindled to a handful from a peak of 200 in the 1850s, so in 1917 the community closed and the buildings were sold. That year preservationist Clara Endicott Sears purchased the 1794 Shaker office building and moved to the nearby Fruitlands Museum, and it is currently the only Harvard Shaker building open to the public. It is the first Shaker museum ever established in the United States. The remaining Shaker buildings are now private residences and much of the surrounding land remains undeveloped through a conservation easement. The historic district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>Music was an important part of Shaker life at Harvard. In the 1780s, several songs were attributed to their spiritual leaders, "Mother Anns Song" and "Father Jamess Song." One of the best known early Shaker hymns, "The Humble Heart," came from Harvard, with words by Eunice Wyeth and music by Thomas Hammond.</p><br>

<p>The George Clapp House is a historic house at 44 North Street in Grafton, Massachusetts. Built about 1835, it is the town&#39;s only significant example of high-style Greek Revival architecture, with temple treatment on both the front and one side. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 21, 1997.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Clapp House is located in central Grafton, a short way northeast of the town center, at the northeast corner of North Street and Merriam Road. It is a -story wood frame structure, three bays wide and five deep, with a front-facing gable roof, finished with flushboarding on the west (front) and south sides, and clapboard siding elsewhere. Its high-style Greek Revival treatment consists of four fluted Doric columns supporting an entablature and the fully pedimented gable in front, and six extending in a colonnade on the south side. A pair of sash windows are set in the center of the gable end. The front facade behind the columns has original tall windows on both floors, with the entrance set in the leftmost bay. The building is joined to a 19th-century barn by a series of ells. The interior retains most of its original finish and hardware, including small fireplaces, ceramic doorknobs, and wide pine flooring.</p><br>
<p>The house was built c. 1835 by George Clapp, a locally prominent builder of Greek Revival houses. It is the only high-style building of its type in Grafton. Clapp has been attributed with the construction of at least seven other Greek Revival houses, mainly near his first Grafton home on South Street. Clapp&#39;s family resided in this house until 1845.</p><br>
<p>The Frederick Fiske Warren and Gretchen Osgood Warren House is a historic house at 42 Bolton Road in Harvard, Massachusetts, United States. It was the home of Frederick Fiske Warren and Gretchen Osgood Warren.</p><br>
<p>The original house was built in 1894. In 1940, the house was renovated by W.P. Blodgett and A.F. Law Associated Architects of Boston, Massachusetts. During this renovation, the servants quarters, which were once a separate building with an attached upperstory walkway, were moved to the main building. The current two-car garage opposite the main entrance was created out of the foundation of the servants quarters. A photograph of the houses pre-1940 configuration was published by the Harvard Historical Society in ″The Harvard Album″. The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>The property is historically referred to as "The Hutch".</p><br>
<p>The Benjamin Baker Jr. House is a historic house at 1579 Hyannis Road in Barnstable, Massachusetts. Built about 1828, it is a well-preserved example of a Federal period "half Cape". It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Benjamin Baker Jr. House stands in what is now a rural-residential area of central northern Barnstable, on the west side of Hyannis Road just south of its junction with Maushop Avenue. It is a simple single story Federal style cottage, 3 bays wide, with a side gable roof and wood shingle siding. Its front door, in the right-side bay, is flanked by pilasters and topped by a transom window. The chimney rises near the center of the house behind the left bay. A similar three-bay addition is attached at the left rear corner. The interior of the cottage has been modernized.</p><br>
<p>In 1826 and 1827, Benjamin Baker Jr., a caulker, purchased this parcel of land from John Baker, a housewright, on what was then known as "Baker&#39;s Lane" named for Nathaniel Baker, an early grantee of land in the area. This house was probably built soon afterward. Baker died in 1840 with an insolvent estate; this property was eventually sold to Simeon Doane, a mariner.</p><br>
<p>The Capt. Seth Baker Jr. House is a historic house at 35 Main Street in Barnstable, Massachusetts, USA. Built about 1850, it is a late example of transitional Federal-Greek Revival architecture, and a somewhat modest house built for a ship&#39;s captain. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Captain Seth Baker Jr. House stands in a busy commercial area of the village of Hyannis, on the south side of Main Street between Parkway Place and Bayview Street. It is a 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a side gable roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. Its front facade is five bays wide, with a central entrance framed by Federal style slender pilasters, tall frieze, and projecting cornice. A modern single-story addition extends to the rear.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1850, and its survival in what is now a commercial area is a reminder of the areas early history. It was built Seth Baker, Jr., a deep-sea ships captain. The houses modest features are a contrast to the more elaborate houses often built by ships captains in the area, indicating that there was a wide range of economic situations in that profession. The house now houses professional offices.</p><br>
<p>The Nathaniel Baker House is a historic house at 1606 Hyannis Road in Barnstable, Massachusetts. The house was probably built about 1721, and is a well-preserved example of an early Georgian hip-roofed house. It is also noted for its association with the locally prominent Baker family. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Nathaniel Baker House stands in a rural residential area of central northern Barnstable, on the east side of Hyannis Road, roughly opposite its junction with Maushop Avenue. It is a two story wood frame structure, with a hip roof, central chimney, and wooden shingle exterior. It has unadorned trim, with plain cornerboards, window and door trim. The house follows a basically rectangular plan, with a two-story hip-roof ell attached to one side of the rear.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1721 for Nathaniel Baker IV, possibly by his father Nathaniel Baker III, as a gift at the time of his wedding. Documentary sources support this general timeline, but there is some evidence that part of the house may be older. In 1778, Baker divided the house in two, deeding one half to his two daughters while he occupied the other half. He died in 1791, with an insolvent estate. The house was returned to single-family use in 1926.</p><br>
<p>The Baxter Mill is a historic gristmill on Massachusetts Route 28 in West Yarmouth, Massachusetts. Built about 1860 and restored to working order in 1961, it is the only surviving 19th-century water-powered mill on Cape Cod. It is now a museum property owned by the town and operated by the Yarmouth Historical Society. The mill was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Baxter Mill stands west of the village center of West Yarmouth, on a narrow strip of land between Massachusetts Route 28 to the south and Mill Pond to the north, between Baxter Street and Mill Pond Road. The mill is a small wood frame two-story building, about 20 ft square, with a hip roof and shingled exterior. It is set in an area that has partly defined by a low stone retaining wall on the north and east sides, and the stone-lined exit channel from the pond.</p><br>
<p>The mill stands on the site of a gristmill built c. 1710 by John and Shubel Baxter. That mill was powered by an externally mounted wheel, typical for the period but subject to damage from winter conditions. A new mill was built in 1860, in which the exterior waterwheel was replaced with an internal turbine. It remained in operation until the turn of the 20th century. The building was restored to working order in 1961 (as discussed by A. Harold Castonguay, one of the restorers, in his book Two men on a mill: The story of the restoration of Baxter&#39;s mill), including creation of a replica of the turbine. The original 1860 turbine remains on site as part of the museum display. The mill was given to the town, and is operated by the Yarmouth Historical Commission as a museum on a seasonal basis.</p><br>
<p>The Canary-Hartnett House is a historic house located at 113 Winter Street in Barnstable, Massachusetts. It is significant as a well preserved example of Greek Revival style architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>This well-preserved -story wood frame building was built c. 1860, and has simple Greek Revival styling. It is four asymmetrical bays wide, with the main entrance in the left bay, and three evenly spaced sash windows to its right. It has a side gable roof, with a chimney rising through the ridge behind the entrance. The front of the house is finished in clapboards, while the remaining walls are finished in wood shingles. The house is one of the oldest in the area to be associated with the early wave of Irish settlers to arrive after the Irish Potato Famine. The property includes a barn that dates to the same period.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 13, 1987.</p><br>
<p>The Brewster Old Kings Highway Historic District is a historic district encompassing much of Massachusetts Route 6A and portions of some adjacent roads in Brewster, Massachusetts, which was known as the Old Kings Highway during colonial times. The center of Brewster grew around the junction of the Old Kings Highway and Harwich Road , with its first church built there in 1700 , and a nearby burying ground established in 1707. The civic and commercial functions of the town were spread along the Old Kings Highway through the 19th and into the early 20th century. This concentration of historic resources extends about 1.5 mi west of the main junction, and about 1.2 mi eastward.</p><br>
<p>Prominent landmarks in the district, in addition to the church, include the 1881 Old Town Hall, a richly-detailed Queen Anne structure built in 1881; it is located at the junction of the highway with Chatham Street (Massachusetts Route 137). The 1868 Brewster Ladies Library is a fine example of Stick style, and was the first purpose-built library building on Cape Cod. The current Town Hall was built in 1925, and originally served as a school. Two 19th-century school buildings also survive in the district: the No. 2 Schoolhouse, an Italianate two-room building first used as a high school, overlooks Schoolhouse Pond, while the more modest No. 3 Schoolhouse (1850) has been repurposed as a barn.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas Bray Farm is a historic farmstead at 280 Weir Road in Yarmouth, Massachusetts. It includes a house that is one of the oldest houses in Yarmouth, as well as a number of early 20th century outbuildings, located on about 10 acre of land adjoining Mill Pond in central Yarmouth. The house construction date has been estimated to be c. 1720, but it is possibly even older. It is an early example of a "half cape", a single story house with one room behind the other, and a chimney between. In a departure from typical plans, the chimney in this house is closer to the center of the roofline, rather than being in the bay behind the front door, which is in the rightmost of three bays.</p><br>
<p>In addition to the original core of the house, there are two additions off the back which date to the early 20th century. The property also has a number of outbuildings built in the 1920s: a tractor shed, tool shed, and combination well house and root cellar are all located west of the house, and there is a duck blind near Mill Pond. They all appear to have been built from the remains of an old barn that was demolished at the time.</p><br>
<p>The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The Shubael Baxter House is a historic house at 9 E. Bay Road in Barnstable, Massachusetts. Built c. 1829 by a ship&#39;s captain, it underwent a major transformation into a Colonial Revival mansion in the early 20th century. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987 for its architectural significance.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Baxter House is set prominently facing northeast at the southwest corner of Main Street and East Bay Road in the Osterville section of Barnstable. It is a large two story wood frame structure, seven bays wide, with a stepped hip roof, clapboard siding, and corner quoining. Its dominant feature is a monumental entrance portico, which rises to form a rounded and dentillated arch at the roof line. The portico is defined by two-story pilasters, with the entry on the first floor also flanked by single-story pilasters and topped by a round-arch pediment. A large three-part window fills the second story above the entry; other windows on the facade are 12/12 sash.</p><br>
<p>When the house was built c. 1829 by Captain Shubael Baxter, it was a more conventional Federal style structure, five bays wide. Later owners include another ship captain and a surgeon who served in the American Civil War. The Colonial Revival alterations, which included extending the width by two bays and construction of the portico, are attributed to J. S. Twombley, who is recorded as the house&#39;s owner in 1907. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>The David M. Anthony House is a historic house located at 368 North Main Street in Fall River, Massachusetts. Built in 1875 for a local businessman, it is one of the city&#39;s finest examples of Second Empire style. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The David M. Anthony House stands north of downtown Fall River, on the west side of North Main Street between Walnut and Locust Streets. It is a 2-1/2 story brick structure, three bays wide, with a mansard roof, stone corner quoining, and a bracketed cornice. Paired windows are set in rectangular openings, with peaked gable lintels and bracketed sills. The main entrance is sheltered by a porch with clustered columns mounted on square paneled blocks. A polygonal window bay projects from the left side of the house.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1875, and is one of the citys finest examples of Second Empire architecture. It was built for David Anthony, a partner in a supply firm, and may have been built by his wifes uncle, who owned a local construction firm. The use of brick in residential construction is unusual for the period in Fall River, indicating a house of some importance. The house originally also featured a cupola and iron cresting on the roof, but these details have been lost, as has a similarly styled carriage house. Between 1916 and 1940 it was occupied by the Knights of Columbus. It was later sold to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fall River.</p><br>
<p>The Border City Mill No. 2 is a historic cotton textile mill One Weaver Street in Fall River, Massachusetts. Built in 1873, it is the largest surviving element of the once-sprawling Border City Mill complex. It was designed by Josiah Brown, a prominent local designer of mills, and is one of the city&#39;s few brick mills. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. It was converted into residences in the 1980s.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Border City Mil No. 2 is located in northwestern Fall River, on the south bank of the Taunton River, from which it is now separated by Massachusetts Route 79. Weaver Street runs just south of the mill. It is a five story brick building with Italianate features, most prominently in its central tower, which features narrow windows, an open belvedere, and a bellcast roof. One particularly rare surviving feature are a set of six wrought iron fire escapes.</p><br>
<p>The Border City Mill Company was organized in 1872 by a group of investors from Boston. The companys first president was S. Angier Chace and George T. Hathaway was treasurer. The mill was erected in 1873, the choice of brick dictated by the sites relatively remote access from Fall Rivers granite quarries. It was also one of the early mills to be built on the Taunton River, most of the citys previous mills having been sited on the Quequechan River. The mill is an early work of Josiah Brown, considered the city&#39;s first professional architect.</p><br>
<p>The company produced primarily shirting and sheeting fabrics. During the financial crisis of 1879, the company was re-organized with John S. Brayton as president. By 1888, the Border City Manufacturing Company was operating in three mills. The company was still operating in 1940.</p><br>
<p>Mill No. 2 was converted into residential apartments in the 1980s, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>Chace Mills is a historic textile mill complex on Lewiston and Salem Streets in Fall River, Massachusetts. Built in 1872, it is one of the city&#39;s most visible historic mills, with a particularly fine Italianate stair tower. The complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Chace Mills is set on the south side of the Quequechan River, on the northeast side of Lewiston Street at its junction with Salem Street. The 5-1/2 story stone building is prominently visible from Interstate 195. It is built out of local granite and measures 377 x. Its most prominent and distinctive feature is the central stair tower, which rises to an open belfry with rounded-arch openings in Palladian arrangement. The tower is topped by a low-pitch hip roof with broad eaves decorated with paired brackets and dentil moulding.</p><br>
<p>The mill was organized in 1872 and built for the manufacture of cotton cloth with a capacity of 43,480 spindles. Augustus Chace served as the company&#39;s first president. In 1895, a two-story granite addition measuring 310 feet by 120 feet was built for weaving. The company also had a large one-story cotton storage building to the south of Mill No. 2, along the shoreline. The complex also includes two small wooden office buildings in front of the main mill. The mill was taken over by Arkwright in 1929. In 1999 a fire destroyed the adjacent weave shed and cotton storage buildings, but the main mill was saved, thanks in large part to a favorable winds.</p><br>
<p>The Moorfoot Hills are a range of hills south of Edinburgh in east central Scotland, one of the ranges which collectively form the Southern Uplands.</p><br>
<p>The Hills run from Peebles, Scottish Borders, in a north easterly direction to Tynehead, Midlothian.</p><br>
<p>The highest of the Moorfoot Hills is Windlestraw Law, at 659 metres (2162 feet). Other hills include Blackhope Scar (651m), Dewar Hill, Garvald Law, Rough Moss (601m) and Peatrig Hill (454m).</p><br>
<p>Parts of the Moorfoot Hills are designated a Special Area of Conservation.</p><br>
<p>The Hills are also home to Bowbeat Wind Farm which is owned by E.on. The site consists of 24 Nordex N60 Turbines which lie between Bowbeat Hill, Blackhope Scar and Dundreich Hill. The Wind Farm was completed in September 2002 and at the time was Scotland&#39;s largest Wind Farm.</p><br>
<p>The Lower Highlands Historic District encompasses one of the oldest residential areas of Fall River, Massachusetts. The district is roughly bounded by Cherry, Main, Winter, and Bank Streets, and is located just east of the Downtown Fall River Historic District and directly south of the Highlands Historic District. This area was settled by 1810, has architecture tracing the city&#39;s growth as a major industrial center. The historic district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The area of Fall Rivers Lower Highlands has a settlement history dating to the areas prehistory, when the banks of the Quequechan River were settled by Wampanoag Native Americans. The citys major thoroughfare were laid out by English colonists in the 18th century. The Lower Highlands area was by the late 18th century the site of grist, saw, and fulling mills, with a small community of residences clustered nearby. The first of the citys large textile mills was built on the Quequechan River in 1813. North Main Street and Bedford Street became commercial areas, and the area to their northeast developed as a residential district. A substantial portion of the area was devastated by fire in 1843, but was soon rebuilt. Little development has taken place since the early 20th century, when the city&#39;s economy began a long decline.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Lower Highlands district consists of about 212 acre, roughly bounded by Cherry, Main, Winter, and Bank Streets. Most of its more than 100 buildings are residential in character, with the oldest dating to 1810. A modest number of houses survive that are Federal in style, and there are a significant number of houses with at least vernacular Greek Revival elements. Much of the construction in the second half of the 19th century was vernacular multiunit housing for workers, sometimes with modest vernacular stylistic elements popular at the time of construction. Prominent non-residential buildings include the 1875 Gothic Revival Church of the Ascension, and the Cataract Engine Company No. 3, built in 1843 after the great fire.</p><br>

<p>Narragansett Mills is an historic textile mill site located at 1567 North Main Street in Fall River, Massachusetts, United States. Built in 1872, it is a well-preserved example of a brick mill complex, somewhat unusual in a city where most of the mills are stone. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Narragansett Mills complex is located north of downtown Fall River, on the east side of North Main Street at its junction with Narragansett Street. The complex consists of a series of attached buildings, most built out of brick. The main mill is five stories in height, with a shallow-pitch gabled roof. Decorative features include granite corner quoining and window sills, and a bracketed cornice. Attached to the north end is a large weave shed, originally two stories in height with a sawtooth roof. Projecting from the sides of the main mill are smaller engine, boiler, and picker houses, and a machine shop. The only detached building is the single-story main office, set directly at the street corner.</p><br>
<p>The mills were organized in 1871, and the first mill was built in 1872 from red brick in the Italianate style. The area where it was built had been opened for industrial development in 1870 by the introduction of steam power for operation of textile equipment. Because it was not near the city&#39;s granite quarries, it was less expensive to build in brick, resulting in the locally unusual choice of building material.</p><br>
<p>A. Dorrance Easton served as the company&#39;s first president. The company operated on the premises until 1929, producing undyed print cloth and corset jeans. Today, Mill No. 1 has been remodeled and is occupied by medical offices. In December 2011, the second floor and roof of the weave shed was removed.</p><br>
<p>Stafford Mills is an historic textile mill complex located on County Street in Fall River, Massachusetts, USA. Founded in 1872, it is a well-preserved late-19th century textile complex, typical of the mills built in Fall River during its period of most rapid growth. It is noted in particular for its exceptionally fine Romanesque brick office building. The complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Stafford Mills complex is located east of downtown Fall River, on 7 acre at the northeast corner of Quarry and County Streets. It consists of a series of interconnected buildings, most built at different times. The two principal mill buildings are both five stories tall, built of Fall River granite; Mill Number 2 is slightly larger, but Mill Number 1 has a large two-story weave shed attached to its northern end. The buildings are somewhat unusual in not having towers, a common mill feature. Set in the mill yard between these two structures are attached picker and boiler houses, also built of granite. The office building stands at the center of the southern end of the millyard, facing County Street; it is a two-story Romanesque brick building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Stafford Mills company was incorporated in 1870 with Foster H. Stafford as its first president. The two mills were built in 1872 and 1888, and the office building was added in 1892. The company produced print cloths, and operated until 1929 when it was closed.</p><br>
<p>Today, the complex is occupied by a variety of small businesses and a discount furniture store. The intersection of County Street, Pleasant Street and Quarry Street in front of the mill is known as Stafford Square.</p><br>
<p>The Taunton Green Historic District encompasses the core area of the historic 19th-century commercial downtown business district of Taunton, Massachusetts. It is centered on the town green, laid out in the 1740s, and now stands at the intersection of USA Route 44 and State routes 140 and 138. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The early commercial center of the city of Taunton was southeast of the present center, at the confluence of the Taunton and Mill Rivers. In the 18th century early industry in the form of sawmills and gristmills developed on the Mill River. The Taunton Green was given to the town in 1743 as a militia training ground, and it is also where an early meetinghouse was built. Originally 88 acre in size, it is now much reduced by the surrounding development. Early commercial buildings were mostly of wood-frame construction, of which a few survive.</p><br>
<p>Taunton Green has historically the gathering place for troops headed to war. Monuments stand on the Green to honor soldiers of all the wars in which local citizens have participated.</p><br>
<p>"Tauntonians" gathered on the Green on October 21, 1774, to raise the Taunton Flag with its distinctive "Liberty and Union" motto. The flag was hoisted on a 112-foot liberty pole in defiance of King George III. The flag flies on the Green to the present day.</p><br>
<p>A fire in 1859 destroyed many buildings east of the green, and inaugurated more significant growth of brick buildings in the following decades.</p><br>
<p>Since 1914 the Green has been the site of the city&#39;s annual holiday light display which attracts visitors from throughout the area, giving Taunton the nickname of "The Christmas City."</p><br>
<p>In July 2004, the historic Templar&#39;s Hall (c. 1850) and Cohannet Block (1870) (commonly referred to as the Seeley Building) located on the corner of Taunton Green and Weir Street were destroyed by an arsonist.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The historic district is centered on the roughly square green, and includes most of the buildings facing the green on the flanking streets. It excludes the Bristol County Courthouse Complex, which is located on the north side of the green. It extends for a short way along Broadway to the north and Main Street to the east.</p><br>
<p>Monuments on the Green honor soldiers of all the wars in which local citizens have participated. Among them is The Hiker, one of fifty copies of a statue by Theo Alice Ruggles Kitson. It commemorates the American soldiers who fought in the Spanish–American War, the Boxer Rebellion and the Philippine–American War. The statue was cast by the Gorham Manufacturing Company in nearby Providence, Rhode Island.</p><br>

<p>The North Easton Historic District is a historic district in Easton, Massachusetts encompassing a cohesive village area developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily through the activities of the locally important Ames family. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. In 1987, a portion of the district was designated a National Historic Landmark District, known as the H. H. Richardson Historic District of North Easton, which includes several buildings designed for the Ameses by the noted architect H. H. Richardson.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The North Easton Historic District is bounded on the east by Massachusetts Route 138, the south by Main and Lincoln Streets, the west by Main Street, and the north by Elm Street. The largest features of this area are the estates of the Ames family and their former industrial sites, when they were leading manufacturers of shovels and other tools. The district includes rows of worker housing built by the Ameses for their workers, and the former Ames Company factory, located near the railroad tracks that run north-south through the district just east of Main Street.</p><br>
<p>The districts most sophisticated architectural elements are in its public buildings, and in the estates of the Ames family. Early examples include the Gothic Revival architecture of Queset, possibly designed by Andrew Jackson Downing and built about 1854, and Langwater, a Second Empire house built in 1859. Most notable, however are five buildings designed by H. H. Richardson in his signature Richardsonian Romanesque style, which were designed a National Historic Landmark District in 1987. These include the Ames Free Library and Oakes Ames Memorial Hall, sited on a parcel landscaped by Frederick Law Olmsted, the Old Colony Railroad Station, the Ames Gate Lodge, and the F. L. Ames Gardeners Cottage.</p><br>

<p>The North Bedford Historic District is a historic district roughly bounded by Summer, Parker, Pleasant and Kempton Streets in New Bedford, Massachusetts. It encompasses a predominantly residential neighborhood north of downtown New Bedford which was developed primarily in the mid 19th-cnetury. It features a variety of worker housing of the period, as well as a number of higher quality houses built by businessmen. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The historic district is located just north of downtown New Bedford, and is roughly bounded by four significant traffic arteries: Kempton Street to the south, County Street to the west, Parker Street to the north, and Purchase Street (running just next to the city&#39;s downtown highway connector) to the east. The area is about 60 acre in size, and has 400 primarily residential buildings. Most of theses are single-family wood frame residences, many of them in vernacular versions of styles popular between about 1820 and 1860. Italianate features predominate, although earlier Greek Revival and later Second Empire and Queen Anne examples are also numerous. A modest number of houses are more elaborate or stylistically formal; these were typically built for wealthier businessman or merchants. There are two major non-residential properties: the St. Lawrence Church, and a state National Guard armory.</p><br>
<p>New Bedford was originally part of Dartmouth, and was separately incorporated in 1787. By the early 19th century it was one of Massachusettss major maritime ports, having surpassed Nantucket as the worlds leading whaling port. The North Bedford area developed residentially as the city center and waterfront area developed to serve this business, growing roughly from south to north. The areas growth continued for a time after the whaling industry declined, as the citys waterfront areas were developed in the later 19th century with textile mills. Areas on either side of the district, once also residential in character, were razed as part of urban redevelopment activities in the 1960s.</p><br>
<p>The New Bedford Gas and Edison Light Complex is a historic district at 180 MacArthur Drive in New Bedford, Massachusetts. It consists of two buildings: a power generation facility that served the New Bedford area for most of the 20th century, and a historic 19th century iron foundry building. Both are on a property once owned by NSTAR, the local electric utility, on the New Bedford waterfront. The foundry building is a utilitarian three story structure built out of granite, which was built in 1856 for the Taber & Grinnell Iron Foundry. The Cannon Power Station, in contrast, is a looming presence on the waterfront, about 390 ft long and more than 80 ft in height. Its initial construction was in 1916, and it was repeatedly enlarged until 1950. It was built by the New Bedford Gas & Electric Light District, and generated power for the city until 1992. In 2002 it was under consideration for use as an aquarium; but these plans failed. The complex was vacant in 2012.</p><br>
<p>The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>The Acushnet Heights Historic District is a predominantly residential historic district in central New Bedford, Massachusetts. It encompasses a densely-built urban area about 20 acre in size, which was developed as a working-class area, beginning in the 1860s, for the many workers in the city&#39;s factories. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. It abuts the North Bedford Historic District, which is just to the south, and includes the following separately-listed properties: the Union Street Railway Carbarn, the Bradford Smith Building , and the Dawson Building.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The historic district is in south-central New Bedford, and is bounded on the east by Purchase Street. The northern boundary is Linden Street, the western is County Street (except for a section of Robeson Street to its west), and the southern boundary is Pope Street and Clasky Common Park. The park, which is the areas major open space, was laid out in 1822 and enlarged to its present size in 1853. The districts residential architecture is entire of wood frame construction, and is in a diversity of architectural styles popular between 1840 and the early 20th century. Brick buildings are limited to commercial buildings located on Purchase Street and the area&#39;s former firehouse. There are four 19th-century churches in the district.</p><br>
<p>New Bedford was incorporated out of Dartmouth in 1787, and had by the early 19th century become a prominent maritime port. The area north of the downtown and the port area saw increasing development pressure as the downtown expanded northward, and early development north of Clasky Common took place in this context. In the later 19th century, mill complexes were erected on the shores of the Acushnet River east of Purchase Street, bringing an influx of workers to the city. The Acushnet Heights area then saw more rapid development, as the mills built housing for their workers, and others built additional housing on speculation to meet the growing demand. By 1870, the area had acquired a distinct neighborhood identify as "Acushnet Heights". The major employer for many of the district&#39;s residents were the Wamsutta Mills.</p><br>
<p>The Algonquin Printing Co. is a historic industrial complex at 1 Middle Street, off Bay Street in Fall River, Massachusetts. Developed beginning in 1891, it was the last 19th-century printing operation to be established in the city. The surviving main building was built in 1902, and the company operated on this site until 1941. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Algonquin Company plant is located on Fall Rivers west side, between Bay Street and the former Old Colony Railroad line, which runs along the southern bank of the Taunton River. The property was also historically served by a wharf located nearby on the riverbank. The plants main building is a three-story brick structure, 250 ft long, with segmented-arch windows and a low-pitch gabled roof with bracketed cornice. In front of this building, facing directly onto Bay Street, is the former office building, a Classical Revival single-story tan brick building.</p><br>
<p>The Algonquin Printing Company was founded in 1891, and specialized in calico printing. The oldest buildings, no longer extant, date from that time period, and the main mill was built in 1902. Production was 3,600 pieces per week in 1892 and 10,000 in 1911. The company moved its operations to Dighton in 1941.</p><br>
<p>The site was later occupied by Pioneer Finishing Corporation, and later Duro Textiles. On October 26, 2010, a fire, which was later deemed to be arson broke out in the boiler room portion of the mill complex, destroying several buildings. However, the main mill and other buildings we saved. The complex was vacant at the time of the fire.</p><br>
<p>The Anawan Club Clubhouse and Caretaker&#39;s House are a pair of historic buildings at 13 Gorham Street in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, on the grounds of the Anawan Club, a private recreational club.</p><br>
<p>The clubhouse is a log building built in 1898 on the shore of Warren Upper Reservoir as a hunting and fishing lodge. It was built from locally-cut cedar trees, and consists of a single large chamber flanked by fieldstone chimneys, with a small service ell. The caretaker&#39;s house is a much older 1-1/2 story Cape style house, probably built between 1750 and 1780 by a member of the Kelton family. It is a well-preserve local example of this vernacular form.</p><br>
<p>The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The David M. Anthony House is a historic house at 98 Bay Point Avenue on Gardner&#39;s Neck in Swansea, Massachusetts. Built in 1895 for a prominent Fall River businessman, it was one of the first summer houses in the area, and is a high quality example of Queen Anne Victorian architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Gardners Neck is a peninsula projecting southward into Mount Hope Bay between the Cole and Lee Rivers on Swanseas south coast. The David M. Anthony House is located on a large parcel at the center of the peninsula&#39;s southern shore, which includes its very southernmost tip. The house is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with asymmetrical massing typical of the Queen Anne period. It has a hip roof with cross gables, and porch that wraps around the waterfront side to the east. The exterior is finished in a combination of wooden shingles and clapboards.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1895, and was one of the first summer houses built on Gardners Neck. It was built as the summer estate of David M. Anthony, a Fall River businessman who founded the Swift River Meat Packing Company. He and other Fall River businessmen were responsible for the transition of Gardners Neck from a mainly agricultural area to a summer resort area. This house remained in the Anthony family until 1942.</p><br>
<p>Cinnamon Bay Plantation is an approximately 300 acre property situated on the north central coast of Saint John in the United States Virgin Islands adjacent to Cinnamon Bay. The land, part of Virgin Islands National Park, was added to the United States National Register of Historic Places on July 11, 1978. Archaeological excavations of the land document ceremonial activity of the Taínos, as well as historic remains of plantation ruins.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Early inhabitants</h3><br>
<p>Archaeological evidence shows that the first inhabitants of the Virgin Islands were Ortoiroid people, who began their migration into the Antilles from the Orinoco River basin in South America about 2000 BC. The historic Arawak people migrated to the area over a period of many centuries and engaged in the first agriculture on the land. Archaeological excavations confirm a Classic Taino culture at Cinnamon Bay.</p><br>
<h3>Plantation era</h3><br>
<p>Starting in the 1680s, prior to any formal colonization, the land along the shoreline of the north central coast of Saint John was occupied for decades by settlers of diverse nationalities. The property was used for maritime activities and cotton production. The Danish claimed Saint John on March 25, 1718, and the area along the north central coast from Caneel Bay to Cinnamon Bay was occupied by nine private land owners. The Danish established large sugarcane plantations worked by slaves brought from Africa.</p><br>
<p>Daniel Jansen and his wife Adriana Delicat were the first land owners to acquire a formal Danish deed for property at Cinnamon Bay. Approximate to Jensons purchase in 1718, a coastal parcel of land was purchased by William Gandy in 1722 and was later bought by Peter Durloo in 1728. Durloo was the husband of Daniel Jansens daughter, Elizabeth. Durloos newly acquired coastal land abutted Jensens property to the north. In 1719, Pieter de Buyck purchased property along the north central coast of the island, east of the Gandy-Durloo land. After De Buycks death in 1728, the land became the property of Abraham Beaudewyn. The 1936 tax records show that Jasper Jansen, Daniel and Adriana Jansens eldest son, owned the De Buyck-Beaudewyn land. Despite the short tenure of De Buyck, this locale still carries his name, Peter Bay. These three parcels of land – the Jansen, Gandy-Durloo, and De Buyck-Beaudewyn properties – became the consolidated estate later known as Cinnamon Bay Plantation.</p><br>

<h3>1733 slave insurrection</h3><br>
<p>During the 1733 slave insurrection on St. John, slaves loyal to the Jensen family held off the rebel slaves long enough for the Jansens to escape, but they could not prevent "the propertys dwelling house, storage building, and boiling house from being looted and burned, nor could they prevent the Jansen cane fields from being set ablaze."</p><br>
<h3>20th century history</h3><br>
<p>In 1913, Cinnamon Bay was bought by a Danish company, and the land was used for breeding and raising of cattle.</p><br>
<p>In 1955, Cinnamon Bay was sold to Jackson Hole Preserve, Incorporated and in 1956 donated to Virgin Islands National Park.</p><br>
<h2>Sugar plantation</h2><br>
<p>The 1805 tax rolls show that Cinnamon Bay plantation had 105 acre planted in sugarcane, 48 acre in provision crops, and 147 acre unused or in bush.</p><br>
<h2>Historic district</h2><br>
<p>The Cinnamon Bay Plantation historic district was a collection of former plantation buildings clustered around the North Short Road when it was added to the historic register in 1978. These included a factory building, plantation house, servants quarters, and other buildings commonly associated with a sugar plantation. Two small cemeteries were also present.</p><br>
<p>The remains of the factory cannot be dated precisely, though they are of a type common to the early and mid 1700s. The plantation itself was known to be active prior to the 1733 slave rebellion. Middens in the area provide evidence of pre-Columbian occupation over an extensive period.</p><br>
<h2>Virgin Islands National Park</h2><br>
<p>The land was donated to the United States National Park Service in 1956 by Laurence Rockefeller. Virgin Islands National Park was then established here.</p><br>
<p>Atkinson Hall is a historic building located at 108 West Main Street in Geneseo, Illinois. The Geneseo Collegiate Institute, a Presbyterian college preparatory school that opened in 1884, built the building in 1892 for its music department. Architect J.E. Hosford designed the building in the Romanesque Revival style. The front of the red brick building faces north and has a pyramidal tower at its corners, with the northeast tower roughly 10 ft taller than the northwest one. The main entrance and many of the building&#39;s windows are arched, a key feature of Romanesque architecture. The building served the college until it closed in 1922; four years later, it became the American Legion Hall, Shearer Post #350.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 28, 2003.</p><br>
<p>The Henry H. Huson House and Water Tower are two historic structures located in Plymouth, Wisconsin. They were both listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 28, 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>There is a locally landmarked Victorian house operated as a Bed & Breakfast named Gilbert Huson House which appears to be a different house nearby, perhaps adjacent. The history of the Gilbert Huson House mentions: "In 1988, the Gilbert Huson House was designated a Sheboygan County Landmark. The home operated as Yankee Hill Bed and Breakfast in conjunction with the Henry Huson House until we purchased it in 2003. We renamed it after its original owner, Gilbert L. Huson."</p><br>
<h2>Water tower</h2><br>
<p>The water tower was built across the street from the Henry H. Huson residence in 1885. The private water tower was powered by a windmill. It was operated for about 15 years until Plymouth installed their traditional municipal water system.</p><br>
<p>The Lucketts School in Lucketts, Virginia was built in 1913. It is a wood-frame schoolhouse with elements of Colonial Revival and Craftsman style. It was originally known as Lucketts High School and was expanded in 1919 with additional classrooms and in 1929 with a small auditorium. It was one of the first multi-room schools in Loudoun County, and remains one of the best-preserved early 20th century schools in the county. The last high school students graduated from Lucketts in 1938, but the school was used as an elementary school until 1972 when a new Lucketts Elementary School was built on an adjoining site. Education still continues here in the form of certified child care offered to residents of Loudoun County.</p><br>
<p>In an effort to preserve the old school for community use the first Lucketts Fair was held in 1972, a tradition which has continued as a means of financing the maintenance of the building. It is now operated as the Lucketts Community Center by the Loudoun County Department of Parks and Recreation.</p><br>
<p>The Community Center is currently undergoing another round of extensive renovations.</p><br>
<p>Fire Station No. 23 is a former fire station in Downtown Los Angeles. Built in 1910 as an operating fire station, it was also the Los Angeles Fire Department&#39;s headquarters until 1920 and the residence of every fire chief from 1910-1928. When it opened, it spawned a political firestorm due to the ornate interior and expensive imported materials, leading to its being called the "Taj Mahal" of firehouses. After 50 years of operation, the station was closed in 1960 as the department began replacing older stations with new facilities. Since the 1980s, Fire Station No. 23 has been a popular filming location. Motion pictures filmed at the station include the Ghostbusters movies, The Mask, Police Academy 2, Flatliners, Firehouse and National Security.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Construction controversy</h3><br>
<p>In June 1909, the city of Los Angeles announced plans to build a three-story fire station in the heart of the wholesale and manufacturing district that would also serve as the fire department&#39;s headquarters. The projected cost of the station was placed at $35,000.</p><br>
<p>When the station opened in September 1910 at a final cost of $53,000, a controversy arose over the cost and use of expensive materials, including Peruvian mahogany in the chief&#39;s living quarters. It was considered the "most elaborate and richest engine-house west of New York" and maybe the "most ornate... in this or any other world." The Los Angeles Times reported on its opulence as follows:"It is the interior which is to reincarnate man and beast in the fire department. It is the interior which is a sort of Nirvana for a soulful legion of blue-shirted civil service graduates. Its spell will be hypnotic, for if the visitor starts in with the third floor he will leave by Winston Street in stupefaction."</p><br>
<p>The building was an unusually narrow structure, only 26 ft wide but 167 ft deep stretching the entire distance from Fifth to Winston Streets. The main floor was an arcade connecting Fifth and Winston Streets with stalls for ten horses, repressed vitrified brick, walls of white enamel tiling, and pressed steel ceilings 21 ft above the floor. More than anything else, it was the extravagant third floor living quarters, described as "the chiefs boudoir" and a "palace for chiefs," that drew the most attention. Access to the third floor was by a private elevator that "moves noiselessly and stealthily to the upper haven." The third floor was covered in Peruvian mahogany with French bevel glass mirrors, a mantel of Vermont marble, polished inlaid oak floors, a private slide pole, a massive brass bed, private roof garden, and "a tub big enough for two chiefs." The Times reported: "Notice the Peruvian mahogany carefully, and you will see that the heart of the log has been chosen and that its grain has been placed so that it gives the appearance of real flames. Certainly the esthetic for the reception room of the engine-house de luxe." The chiefs apartment alone was reported to have cost $25,000. The Times noted that the quarters rivaled the finest suites in the country, referred to it as a "Sybaritic effort," and offered its sarcastic speculation that the house captain would be expected to "wear evening dress after 6 o&#39;clock, at least."</p><br>
<p>The unveiling of the ornate fire station set off "a political and civic storm."</p><br>
<h3>Operation</h3><br>
<p>Fire Station No. 23 remained an active firehouse from 1910-1960. When it opened, it was manned by fifteen firefighters and ten horses. The original equipment included a horse wagon, chiefs buggy, and a pumper that used a vertical tube boiler. The companys first major call was a fire in the old Byrne Building that took ten hours to extinguish.</p><br>
<p>The station also served as the departments headquarters from 1910–1920, and the home for every fire chief from 1910 to 1928, including chief Ralph J. Scott. Chief Scotts wife, Addie Scott, lived with him on the third floor and later recalled the stations early days: "I remember the horses. They really knew what to do. When the bell would ring, they would come out and stand there to be hitched up.... It was a nice life here for us.... I remember trying to wax all these floors, and I just couldnt do it. So someone came and helped me. This is a lot of floor space you know."</p><br>
<p>Fire Station No. 23 was closed in November 1960 as the Los Angeles Fire Department began replacing older stations with newer stations with modern facilities. At the time of its closure, some of the 1,100 men who had worked there attended a ceremony as the building was "mustered out of service."</p><br>
<h2>Museum</h2><br>
<h3>Historic status</h3><br>
<p>In 1966, the station was declared a Historic Cultural Monument by the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission; at the time of the declaration the Los Angeles Times called it the "Taj Mahal of fire stations." A Library of Congress survey of 250 firehouses concluded that Station 23&#39;s interior was "unmatched in its beauty." It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h3>Controversy over restoration</h3><br>
<p>Through the 1960s and 1970s, the station deteriorated. The surrounding neighborhood became part of the city&#39;s Skid Row and the station became "a hangout for the street people." Looters stole most of the copper tubing and brasswork, banisters, doorknobs, firebells, and even the five brass firepoles.</p><br>
<p>By the mid-1970s, concerns were raised that the building had become a hazard, and some proposed tearing it down. However, in 1979, the Fire Commission announced plans to restore the rooms back to their 1910 condition and turn the station into a museum. The City Council placed the station under control of the fire department, but provided that no city funds were to be used in creating the museum.</p><br>
<p>In 1981, officials of the fire department set up a nonprofit organization called Olde 23 to raise funds to build the museum, but sufficient funds were never raised. The projected cost of the museum, even in 1982, was $1 million, and critics questioned the wisdom of building a museum in Skid Row. In 1988, the city settled on a different location for the Los Angeles Fire Department Museum—Engine Co. No. 27 in Hollywood.</p><br>
<p>Fire Station No. 23 became the subject of controversy again in 1995 when the Los Angeles Times ran a 2,200-word, front-page article reporting on alleged misuse of city funds by Olde 23, the nonprofit charged with restoration of the station. Even though plans for the fire department museum had shifted to another location years earlier, Olde 23 continued to live on, banking more than $200,000 in fees from film and television producers using the station house as a shooting location. The Times reported that ex-Chief Donald O. Manning had not told other city agencies about Olde 23&#39;s continued operations, and Olde 23 had failed to turn over the income, as required by city law. Also, even after the city chose a new location for a fire department museum, the chief did not use the funds collected by "Olde 23" for the museum. The controversy came to light after an angry official for Warner Bros. wrote a memorandum complaining about "donations" to the Fire Department and referring to such donations as "extortion."</p><br>
<h2>Filming location</h2><br>
<p>Since 1978 when James Croak occupied the building after an 18-year vacancy, Fire Station No. 23 became a popular filming location for motion pictures, television productions, commercials, and music videos. In 1995, the Los Angeles Times wrote: "With its finely restored interior and turn-of-the-century architecture, old Fire Station 23 in Downtown Los Angeles is one of the choicest filming locations in town." One producer called it "a great raw architectural space that you can do a lot with."</p><br>
<p>The first major motion picture filmed at Station 23 was Hammett (1982) by German director Wim Wenders, followed two years later by Ghostbusters. The station was used in the 1984 production as the location for the interior scenes of the headquarters of Drs. Venkman, Stantz and Spengler and Winston Zeddemore. Another station in New York, the Hook & Ladder Company 8 firehouse, was used for the exterior shots. The success of Ghostbusters helped popularize the station as a shooting location, and Fire Station No. 23 has since then been used in more than 50 productions, including Big Trouble in Little China (1986), Ghostbusters II (1989), The Mask (1994), Police Academy 2 (1985), A-Team (1986) and V.I. Warshawski (1991), Flatliners (1991), Lost Highway (1997), National Security (2003), and RE(e)volution (2005).</p><br>
<p>The Coastal Mountain Range, also known as the Hai&#39;an Range , is a mountain range situated on the eastern coast of the island of Taiwan, and spans the border between Hualien and Taitung Counties. Coastal Mountain Range is part of the Philippine Mobile Belt which was formed over 400 million years ago by the collision and compression of Philippine Mobile Belt and Eurasian Plate. The geological structure is composed of soft sediments which have weaker anti-erosion property and are vulnerable to wind.</p><br>
<p>The Huatung Valley, the result of the collision of two tectonic plates, is at the west end of the range, and the tallest peak of the range is Xingangshan (新港山), which stands 1,682 m tall. Currently those peaks are still with an annual speed of 3 mm. The Haian Range is also converging with Central Mountain Range with an average speed of 2.3 cm per year.</p><br>
<p>There are several small basins located around the range, the largest of which is Taiyuan Basin.</p><br>
<p>Tierra Redonda Mountain is a mountain in northwestern San Luis Obispo County, California. It is in the eastern portion of the Santa Lucia Range, separated from the main ridge by the Nacimiento River.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The mountain is north of Lake Nacimiento, with the summit being about a mile and a half (two kilometers) from the shoreline near the northwestern extremity of the lake. It is about 18 miles (30 km) from the Pacific Ocean at San Simeon. The elevation of the summit is 2051 feet (625 m). The primary maintained public road to the mountain is Interlake Road, San Luis Obispo County G14 (also signed in nearby Monterey County as G14), which passes about 1.5 miles (2.5 kilometers) northeast of the summit. This road intersects USA Highway 101 at Paso Robles, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the southeast. Oak Shores Drive winds around the western portion of the mountain from a junction with G14 to the shore of Lake Nacimiento, and Tierra Redonda Road comes around from the east.</p><br>
<p>The mountain is part of a small island of Bureau of Land Management land, 320 acre, entirely surrounded by private land. BLM has designated it as an Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC), along with several other BLM holdings in the area (such as the Carrizo Plain and Cypress Mountain) due to the high concentration of unique, sensitive, and threatened species found in the vicinity, as well as for its singularly rich paleontological resources. This designation is in part because of encroaching development from the south, where private residences are being built on the shore of Lake Nacimiento, within the Oak Shores community. The region has also designated the region as open space in their General Plan.</p><br>
<h2>Natural setting</h2><br>
<p>Primary plant communities represented around the mountain include chaparral and blue oak woodlands, although grasslands and unusual sand dune formations also occur. Within the ACEC there are several sensitive plant species, some endemic to the area. These include several species of Chorizanthe, among the most concentrated known anywhere, along with ribbonwood, Salinas Valley goldfields, San Luis Obispo County lupine, and the one-awned spineflower.</p><br>
<p>While petroleum exploration is not presently occurring in the vicinity, the potential for oil and gas is considered by the BLM to be moderate. The Vaqueros Formation, which outcrops significantly on the mountain, accounting for its famous fossil beds, is an oil-bearing unit at the South Cuyama and Russell Ranch Oil Fields to the southwest, and the large, prolific San Ardo Oil Field, one of the most active in California, is only ten miles to the northwest, along USA 101.</p><br>
<h2>Historical Facts</h2><br>
<p>The early pioneers of the area considered climbing to the summit of Tierra Redonda ("Terra Donda") a destination for a picnic. An American flag on a flagpole was visible from the lowlands. It was unknown who placed the flag or who replaced it when it became tattered.</p><br>
