<p>The Fort Street–Pleasant Street and Norfolk & Western Railroad Viaduct is a bridge carrying six lanes of Fort Street over both Pleasant Street and multiple tracks comprising the Norfolk Southern Railway Detroit District  and Conrail Shared Assets Lincoln Secondary and Junction Yard Secondary  lines on the border of the Boynton and Oakwood Heights neighborhoods in Detroit, Michigan, just west of the Rouge River. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. The bridge underwent massive repairs and other construction in late 2010 and throughout much of 2011, which included narrowing the Fort Street boulevard north of the viaduct into a six-lane undivided road with a left-turns-only lane.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The area along the Fort Street corridor near Pleasant Street was transformed early in the 20th century from a residential community to a substantially industrial center. An undated newspaper clipping from the time on the "passing of Fort Street West" laments, "nce a social center, it is now a great business artery whose splendid mansions have given way before the march of industrial progress". Among other industrial centers in the area, the Ford River Rouge Complex is just upstream from the Fort Road (as it was named at the time) river crossing, making both Fort Road and the Norfolk & Western tracks main transportation arteries in Detroit.</p><br>
<p>In the 1920s, Fort Road was one of the roads chosen for upgrade to a "superhighway". These roads were upgraded by the city, county and state to feature 204 ft right-of-ways, central medians, and nighttime lighting. Additionally, with the growth in vehicular traffic in the early 20th century, railroad-highway intersections increasingly became sources of both travel delays and accidents. On 1928, the Wayne County Road Commission and the Michigan State Highway Department announced plans to separate rail and vehicle grades, with railways contributing substantially to the cost. The Fort Road bridge project was the first to be undertaken.</p><br>
<p>However, the project had substantial design considerations, resulting in a large cost and a lengthy planning process. The bridge was required to be long enough to permit passage of both two city streets and twelve railroad tracks at an oblique angle; it had to be wide enough to accommodate two 40 ft paved traffic surfaces for the Fort Superhighway. Construction finally began in summer 1928, and the structure was completed in 1930.</p><br>
<p>The resulting structure, according to a Wayne County Road Commission at the time, included an "ornamental concrete handrail" supporting "ornamental concrete lamp posts" so that "the entire project will be adequately and beautifully lighted". In subsequent years, the urn-shaped balusters of the original railing have been replaced by solid concrete panels. However, the other components of the railings, including the octagonal lamp posts, remain intact. The loss of the balusters is unfortunate, but the overall scale and significance of the bridge outweighs the minor loss.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The Fort Street Viaduct is noteworthy for both its design and size. It was normally cheaper to build a rail road bridge over the street rather than the other way around. However, the large number of tracks at the Fort Road crossing would have required a substantial subway. The Fort Street Viaduct, which stretches 2,800 ft in length and includes an 80 ft roadway, was by far the largest and most ambitious structure included in the 1920s grade separation plan. This bridge exemplifies the importance attached to the grade separation program, as planners tried to increase vehicle safety and decrease congestion.</p><br>
<p>The West Jefferson Avenue–Rouge River Bridge is a bridge located where Jefferson Avenue crosses the Rouge River at the border of Detroit and River Rouge, Michigan. It is the only surviving pony truss bascule bridge in the state of Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Before the current bridges crossing the Rouge River at West Jefferson and Fort Streets were built, the two crossings were served by narrow swing bridges. By the late 1910s, these spans urgently needed replacing, in large part because they interfered with the Federal government&#39;s plans to dredge the Rouge River to provide freighter access to the Ford River Rouge Complex. Both the city of Detroit (who was responsible for maintaining the bridges) and Wayne County agreed that the county could better oversee the construction, but legal restrictions prohibited county involvement until state law was changed in 1919.</p><br>
<p>With the new legislation in place, plans were drawn up in 1920 for a "Chicago city type of single trunnion, double-leaf bascule bridge" for each bridge. The cost for the pair of bridges was estimated at $2 million. A bond issue to fund construction was approved by Wayne County voters, and an alternate route onto which Jefferson Avenue traffic could be shunted was devised. Wayne County obtained an old truss, originally used by the Michigan Central Railroad upstream of Jefferson, and floated it downstream to a location 200 yards north of Jefferson. The old Jefferson Avenue bridge was closed and the detour opened on November 13, 1920.</p><br>
<p>Construction on the bridge commenced immediately. Each leaf was to be supported by four 12-foot-square concrete footings, sunk to the bedrock 70 ft below the water line. The footings supported a concrete pit measuring 50 by 80 ft which housed the counterweights and machinery. Wayne County contracted with the Missouri Valley Bridge and Iron Company of Leavenworth, Kansas, to build the substructure for $408,280; with the Strobel Steel Construction Company of Chicago to build the superstructure for $378,005; Cooper-Widenmann Construction Company of Detroit to build the operators&#39; houses for $78,700; and Fowler Electrical Supply Company of Toledo, Ohio, to supply electrical equipment for $34,809. County crews graded and paved the approaches.</p><br>
<p>On August 21, 1922, the two bascule leaves were lowered simultaneously for the first time. The bridge was opened to traffic on October 17; at the time, work on the approaches was still ongoing, but operating machinery on the detour bridge failed, necessitating the bridge&#39;s removal to allow free passage of river traffic. The next year, the federal government completed its planned dredging of the Rouge River.</p><br>
<p>In the early 1980s, the county spent $2.2 million to repair portions of the West Jefferson Bridge (as well as doing similar work to the crossing at Dix Avenue). These repairs have somewhat altered the West Jefferson Bridge, but it retains its integrity as a significant example of early twentieth-century engineering.</p><br>
<p>In Insane Clown Posse&#39;s 1999 hit "Fuck the World", rapper Violent J references this bridge and its operator. "You know the guy that operates the Rouge River draw bridge in Delray on Jefferson? FUCK HIM!" he exclaims.</p><br>
<p>On May 12, 2013, the West Jefferson Avenue bridge closed prematurely on the Lake Freighter Herbert C Jackson as a result of the bridge tender being intoxicated. This was the first incident of this type in the bridge&#39;s 91-year history. The bridge has been in the raised position since. Current plans are to repair the bridge and return it to service in 2016. The bridge was reopened on August 11, 2016.</p><br>
<p>The Richard Guenther House in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, United States, is a large, fine Queen Anne house designed by Waters and built by Jacob Rheiner in 1888 for Richard W. Guenther. Guenther was a Prussian immigrant who owned a drug store in Oshkosh, became Wisconsin state treasurer, US Congressman, and consul to Mexico City, Frankurt, and Cape Town. From 1906 to 1913 the large house hosted Dr. M. E. Corbett&#39;s new Lakeside Sanitorium and Training School for Nurses, the first hospital in Oshkosh, which later evolved into Mercy Medical Center.</p><br>
<p>Largely unaltered, the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 for its architectural significance, for its association with Guenther, and for its service as Oshkosh&#39;s first hospital.</p><br>
<p>The American Bank Building is a 15-floor building in Portland, Oregon, USA It stands 63 m tall, and was built in 1913. It replaced the Marquam Building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was the tallest in the city for 14 years until surpassed by the Public Service Building in 1927. Designed by A. E. Doyle, it is located at 621 SW Morrison Street, and was formerly known as the Northwestern National Bank Building. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. In 2000, Transamerica Asset Management paid $21.7 million to City Center Retail to acquire the building. Transamerica then sold it to SKB Portland Office Investments LLC in 2002 for $22.3 million, who then sold the tower in 2008 for $35.2 million to LaeRoc Partners. In July 2014, the building was sold for $45 million to Independencia S.A., a Chilean company.</p><br>
<p>Durfee Mills is an historic textile mill complex located at 359-479 Pleasant Street in Fall River, Massachusetts. Developed between 1866 and 1904, it was during its period of development the city&#39;s largest and architecturally finest mill complex. Along with the adjacent Union Mills, it is occupied by numerous retail businesses and a restaurant, and is known as the Durfee-Union Mills. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Durfee Mills are located in geographically central Fall River, overlooking the northern bank of the Quequechan River, on a roughly triangular parcel bounded on the north by Pleasant Street and the southeast by Plymouth Avenue. The complex includes two main mill buildings and a large number of secondary buildings, all built out of native Fall River granite. The main mills are similar 5-1/2 story structures, oriented north-south, with their main facades facing each other. Their prominent features are seven-story Italianate towers located at the center of the main facades. Most of the outbuildings are either one or two stories in height; the notable exception is the Number 3 Mill, a smaller 5-1/2 story building located at the corner of Pleasant and Plymouth. The building are noted for their high quality architecture, in particular the main office building.</p><br>
<p>Durfee Mills was organized in 1866 with $500,000 of capital, with B.M.C. Durfee as its principal stockholder and first president.</p><br>
<p>Mill No. 1 was built in 1866 for the manufacture of cotton cloth. The company was named in honor of Durfees father Bradford, who is credited with starting Fall Rivers industrial complex and for building many of its early mills. The Durfee mill complex is the largest, and most complete to survive of the city&#39;s 19th-century mills. Mill No. 2 was added in 1871, and Mill No. 3 in 1881, raising the capacity to 109,360 spindles. It produced 23 million yards of cotton cloth annually. The company was liquidated in 1935. In 1968, the site was photographed by Jack E. Boucher as part of the Historic American Buildings Survey.</p><br>
<p>Union Mills is a historic textile mill complex located on Pleasant Street in Fall River, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<p>The Union Mills company was incorporated in 1859, and was the first large steam-powered mill built in the city, having installed Corliss steam engines. The buildings are constructed from local Fall River granite. The company&#39;s first president was S. Angier Chace, and David Anthony was the first treasurer. It was the first mill corporation established in the city on the basis of general subscriptions.</p><br>
<p>In 1865, Mill No. 2 was constructed. In 1876 the original gable roofs of both mills were removed and replaced with flat roofs, thereby adding additional floor space. A third mill was later constructed adjacent to Mill No. 2, but was demolished in the 1960s for the construction of Interstate 195. Production of textiles ceased in 1929.</p><br>
<p>In 1968 the site was photographed by Jack E. Boucher of the Historic American Buildings Survey, along with the adjacent Durfee Mills, as part of the New England Textile Mill Survey II, led by Robert M. Vogel of the Smithsonian Institution. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>Over the years, the Union Mills have been occupied by numerous small businesses, including for many years before its move to the nearby Durfee Mills. Both mills have been completely restored and are now the location of.</p><br>
<p>Sagamore Mills No. 1 and No. 3 are two historic textile mills on Ace Street in Fall River, Massachusetts. Built in 1888 and 1908, they form part of one of the city&#39;s single largest textile operations of the late 19th century. Mills No. 1 and 3 were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, with a separate listing for Mill No. 2, located nearby on North Main Street.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Sagamore Mills No. 1 and No. 3 are located in northern Fall River, on a property now separated from the Taunton River by Massachusetts Route 79. The two mills are located on either side of Ace Street in an industrial setting west of North Main Street. Mill No. 1 is a four-story brick structure with Romanesque styling, including segmented-arch windows and a distinctive central tower. Mill No. 3 is built out of rusticated granite quarried in Assonet and transported here by rail., and is five stories in height. Each building has attached smaller buildings, and there are a number of small detached buildings on the 35 acre parcel. There are more than a dozen additional buildings in all.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Sagamore Mills company was established in 1872 with Louis L. Barnard as the first president. The original Mill No. 1 was constructed in 1872 from red brick.</p><br>
<p>The company failed in 1879, and was soon reorganized as the Sagamore Manufacturing Company. Mill No. 2 was added on nearby North Main Street in 1882. On April 24, 1884 Mill No. 1, was destroyed by fire, and was not rebuilt until 1888. Mill No. 3 was built in 1908. It is (along with Mill No. 2), one of the few mills located "below the hill" in Fall River that were constructed of granite rather than red brick, which was typically less expensive due to transport costs of the granite from the quarries located in the eastern part of the city.</p><br>
<p>The Sagamore Mills continued in operation until the 1960s, when the company closed down and sold off the buildings. Mill No. 3 is one of the largest single mill buildings constructed in the city. It was later occupied by Trina Manufacturing, Inc.</p><br>
<p>Sagamore Mill No. 2 is an historic textile mill located at 1822 N. Main Street in Fall River, Massachusetts. Built in 1881, it is the oldest surviving mill of three built by the Sagamore Mill Company, one of Fall River&#39;s largest textile operations. The mill complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Sagamore Mill No. 2 is located in northern Fall River, on the west side of North Main Street at its junction with Cove Street. The complex consists of a large main mill building and a number of smaller, all built out of granite quarried in nearby Assonet. The main mill is 300 ft long and 90 ft wide, and is covered by a shallow-pitch gable roof with bracketed cornice. Its exterior, and that of the ancillary buildings, is rusticated granite with out significant further style. Attached to the west side of the mill near the center of the long facade are a series of secondary buildings, including boiler and engine houses, a picker house, and a waste house. Near its southern end is a single-story card house. Detached from the mill and just to its north is the two-story office building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Sagamore Mills company was established in 1872 with Louis L. Barnard as the first president. The company failed in 1879, and was reorganized as Sagamore Manufacturing Company. Its first mill was built in 1872, and was replaced by the present brick Mill No. 1 building in 1888 after the first burned down in 1884. Mill No. 2 was constructed in 1881. It is one of the few mills located "below the hill" in Fall River that were constructed of granite rather than red brick, owing to the use of granite from Assonet rather than the more southerly Fall River quarries. The Sagamore Mills continued in operation into the 1960s, when the buildings were sold to other interests.</p><br>
<p>The Number 2 mill was later occupied by Joan Fabrics (later known as Main Street Textiles) until 2001, when it opened a huge new plant in the city&#39;s industrial park. (This plant closed a few years later).</p><br>
<p>The South Washington Street Historic District is a historic district encompassing 200 years of residential architecture in North Attleborough, Massachusetts. It extends along South Washington Street in the central portion of the town, between Elm Street in the north, and Sutherland Street in the south and includes two properties on Hunking Street. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Washington Street in North Attleborough is a historic road which began as a Native American path and later was transformed into the major route between Boston, Massachusetts and Providence, Rhode Island. The district is located along this road, extending south from the village center of North Attleborough, while the principal transportation route (United States Route 1) has been relocated eastward. A variety of high quality residential houses, dating from the 18th to the mid-20th century, line this section of road. The colonial period is represented by several houses, the oldest of which is possibly the Edward Richards Homestead at 169 South Washington, which has at is core a c. 1762 structure. A second house, built by the locally prominent Draper family and now located at 327 South Washington, may date to 1750.</p><br>
<p>Most of the district&#39;s houses date to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when North Attleborough was at its economic height as a jewelry manufacturing center. Houses from this period include the Stick style Hixon-Fisher House at 152 South Washington (c. 1881), the eclectic Louis Freeman House at 206 South Washington (c. 1891), and the high-style Queen Anne/Colonial Revival house of Walter Clark at 264 South Washington; it was designed by Providence architect William R. Walker.</p><br>
<p>Taunton Public Library is the public library of Taunton, Massachusetts. It is located at 12 Pleasant Street, in an architecturally distinguished Beaux Arts building built in 1903 with funding support from Andrew Carnegie, to which a modern addition was made in 1979. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a particularly fine local example of Beaux Arts architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The Taunton Public Library is set on the south side of Pleasant Street, a short east-west road in the center of Taunton. It is set among a number of other civic and institutional buildings. The oldest portion of the building is a T-shaped masonry structure built out of Indiana limestone in 1903 to a Beaux Arts and Classical Revival design by Albert R. Ross. The leg of the T projects forward, creating a section three bays wide and one deep, with the main entrance at its center. The entrance is recessed within a round-arch opening, topped by a broken pediment and cartouche. The bays of the projecting section are divided by full-height Corinthian engaged columns, with Corinthian pilasters near the coroners. These support a multi-layer entablature, above which a dentillated cornice encircles the building below its truncated hip roof. Differing window sizes and shapes give variety to the structure. In 1979, a large addition brick-faced addition was added to the rear of the original building.</p><br>
<p>The 1903 building&#39;s construction was made possible by a gift of $70,000 from industrialist and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Taunton Alms House  is a historic alms house at 350 Norton Avenue in Taunton, Massachusetts. The present facility was built in 1876 as a poorhouse, and was enlarged in the 20th century after its conversion to a nursing home. The building is architecturally a fine example of institutional Italianate architecture, and is an important reminder of progressive social services provided in the late 19th century. The building was added to National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The Taunton Nursing Home stands in a suburban residential area of western Taunton, on the south side of Norton Road, between some of the citys schools and athletic fields. The brick building was designed by local architect E.C. Chandler, and has two stories topped by a gable roof and resting on a raised basement. The main facade is nine-bays wide, with a gable-topped projecting section at the center. The buildings Italianate styling includes stone corner quoining. Modern ells extend to the left and rear of the original building.</p><br>
<p>Taunton first established a poor farm on this site in 1826, building a 12-bed facility onto an existing farmhouse. The Panic of 1873 caused an upsurge in demand for poor services, which the city met by building this building in 1876. It was also a period where reformers sought to improve housing, health care and educational conditions for the poor. The property also contained a communal farm. The house had space for sixty indigents, often children, who would stay there until placed with a local family. By 1920, the facility was known as the City Home and Piggery, its operations funded by the raising and sale of pigs. Sometime before 1929, it became more of an infirmary, treating indigent elderly, and in 1980 it underwent a major expansion and conversion into a skilled nursing facility. It is the only municipally owned facility of its type in the state.</p><br>
<p>Sanford Spinning Company is an historic mill complex located on Globe Mills Avenue in Fall River, Massachusetts. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, along with the adjacent Globe Yarn Mills #3.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Globe Yarn Company was founded in 1881 by William H. Jennings and Arnold B. Sanford. Mill No. 1 was built soon after on Globe Street. Mill No. 2 was added in 1885, just downhill of the first mill. In 1887, Mill No. 3 was built on Globe Mills Avenue. It is 354 feet long by 100 feet wide. The two Globe Street mills were added to the National Register of Historic Places under a separate listing, as Globe Yarn Mills.</p><br>
<p>In 1891, the Sanford Spinning Company was established on Globe Mills Avenue by Arnold B. Sanford and Arthur H. Mason for the production of fine cotton yarns. Mill No. 1 is built of brick, and is three stories, measuring 374 feet long by 100 feet with. It initially contained about 37,300 mule spindles. The company also built a dye house to the north of the main mill, measuring 150 feet by 68 feet with 2-1/2 stories.</p><br>
<p>In 1899, the mill, along with the nearby Globe Yarn Mills became part of the New England Cotton Yarns Company, a conglomerate of spinning mills based in New Bedford, with plants in Taunton and North Dighton as well. In 1917, the Sanford Mill was sold to the Passaic Cotton Mills, of New Jersey. It was subsequently sold to American Cotton Fabric Corporation in 1923. The following year, the mill was acquired by Firestone Tire & Rubber Company and operated as Firestone Cotton Mills, for the production of tire yarns.</p><br>
<p>In 1920, Firestone also built a second, new two story mill to the west of the former Globe Yarn Mill No. 3, which it had also acquired. The property is now part of Duro Industries. Former Firestone Mill No. 3, along with the original Sanford dye house have since demolished for the construction of the new Kuss Middle School.</p><br>

<p>The Royal Monastery of the Incarnation or Real Monasterio de la Encarnación is a convent of the order of Recolet Augustines located in Madrid, Spain. The institution mainly interned women from noble families, and was founded by the Queen Margaret of Austria, wife of Philip III, and thus was well endowed with wealth. Although it belongs to an enclosed religious order, the building is open to the public under the administration of the Patrimonio Nacional.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The impulse for the founding of the monastery by Queen Margaret, and sometimes the nuns are called las Margaritas, was to celebrate her husband&#39;s expulsion of the Moriscos, resident Moors. The queen had the prioress of the monastery of discalced nuns of San Agustín in Valladolid, Mother Mariana de San José, accompanied by Francisca de San Ambrosio (sister of the marquesa de Pozas), Catalina de la Encarnación, and Isabel de la Cruz. First lodged in the Convent of Santa Isabel while they awaited the completion, they received donations from the king and queen, including jewels, to finance the monastery. The monastery was built adjacent to the then extant Real Alcázar, and had a passageway to allow the royals direct access. The monastery was inaugurated in the 2nd of July 1616, a few years after the queen had died.</p><br>
<p>The architect and friar Alberto de la Madre de Dios designed and built the monastery between 1611-1616. The facade has a sobriety recalling the style of Juan de Herrera. The monastery, now partly a museum, has a wealth of works of art and relics including tubes with the blood of St. Januarius and of St. Pantaleon.</p><br>
<p>During the reign of Charles IV of Spain, his prime minister, Manuel Godoy, would attend daily mass here, walking from his nearby Palace of Marqués de Grimaldi. When Joseph Bonaparte entered Madrid as king, a hanged cat was found on the monastery gate with the writing: Si no lías pronto el hato,/ te verás como este gato. ("If you dont leave this town soon/ youll end up like this cat"). In the 19th century, the composer Lorenzo Román Nielfa was professor of music here. The monastery was open to the public in 1965.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the church was redecorated in the 18th century, including frescoes in the ceiling of the main chapel by Francisco Bayeu. In the center of the retablor of the main altar is an Annunciation by Vincenzo Carducci. On the sides of the altar are the sculptures of Augustine of Hippo and his mother Saint Monica by Gregorio Fernández. The tabernacle was completed by Ventura Rodríguez. The small statues of the Doctors of the Church and the bas-relief of the Savior are by Isidro Carnicero.</p><br>
<p>The monastery features paintings and sculptures by Luca Giordano, Juan van der Hamen, Pedro de Mena, José de Mora (Mater Dolorosa), and Gregorio Fernández (Dead Christ and Christ at the column).</p><br>
<p>The Apponegansett Meeting House or "Apponagansett Meeting House" is a historic Quaker  meeting house on Russells Mills Road east of Fresh River Valley Road in Dartmouth, Massachusetts. Built in 1791, it is the oldest Quaker meeting house in southeastern Massachusetts, and one of its best preserved. The property it stands on, which includes a cemetery, has been used by its Quaker congregation since at least 1699. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Apponegansett Meeting House is set on the south side of Russells Mills Road, just east of Fresh River Valley Road. It is a two-story wood frame structure, with a gable roof, wooden shingle siding, and a rubblestone foundation. It is set atop a low rise on about 14 acre of land, which include a cemetery (located south and west of the building), a 19th-century privy house, and the archaeological remnants of the first meeting house and other outbuildings.</p><br>
<p>The meeting house was built in 1791, on land that has been used by local Quakers since the 17th century. Dartmouth was established by Quakers in 1664, including most of what is now Westport, Acushnet, New Bedford, and Fairhaven. Their first meeting house was built on this property (exact location undetermined) in 1699, and the cemetery is the burial ground for many of Dartmouth&#39;s early settlers. The first meeting house was repeatedly enlarged, until it was decided to build the present structure in 1791. Despite the decline in local Quaker congregations, the building continues to be maintained by the community, and is used for services in the summer.</p><br>
<p>Several scenes of Down to the Sea in Ships, a 1922 film, were filmed there.</p><br>
<p>The Harold H. Anthony House is a historic house located at 132 Bay Point Avenue on Gardner&#39;s Neck in Swansea, Massachusetts. Built in 1922 to a design by R. Clipston Sturgis, it is a high quality local example of Georgian Revival architecture, unusual in the town for its use of brick. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 12, 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 house stands at the southern end of the peninsula, just west of the David M. Anthony House. It is a 2-1/2 story brick building, with a gabled roof. It has a rectangular main section, with wings extending toward the water on each side. The main entrance is set under a Classical portico with triangular pediment, supported by grouped Doric columns.</p><br>
<p>This elegant two-story brick Georgian Revival house was designed by R. Clipston Sturgis and built in 1922 for Harold Anthony, son of David M. Anthony, on land subdivided from a larger property purchased by the elder Anthony in 1883. It is rare in Swansea both as a brick house, and as one designed by a major architect. Unlike his fathers house, which was intended as a summer property, Harolds was designed for year-round occupation, and started a trend of winterization of summer houses on Gardner&#39;s Neck.</p><br>
<p>The H.F. Barrows Manufacturing Company Building, now the North Attleborough Police Station, is a historic industrial building at 102 South Washington Street in North Attleborough, Massachusetts. The elegant brick building was built in 1905-06, and was home for many years to one of the town&#39;s most successful jewelry businesses. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. Today the building serves as the headquarters for the North Attleborough Police Department.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Barrows factory is located at the northeast corner of South Washington Street and Chestnut Street, at the southern end of North Attleborough&#39;s downtown area. It is a two-story brick structure with granite trim, a clock tower placed prominently at the street corner, and single-story wings extending along the two streets, giving the building an overall L shape. The tower is set at an angle at the corner, and houses the main building entrance in a deeply-recessed round arch open vestibule. First-floor windows are generally set in recessed round-arch panels, while the second-floor windows of the central block are grouped in threes under extended granite lintels. The roofline is demarcated by brick corbelling on all parts of the building, a detail echoed in upper parts of the tower. The square tower has a Seth Thomas clock with four faces, and is capped by a pyramidal roof.</p><br>
<p>The town of Attleborough (from which North Attleborough was set off in 1887) has a history of jewelry manufacture dating to the late 18th century. The H.F. Barrows Company was founded in 1854 in Attleborough Falls by Henry Francis Barrows, Sr. The firm passed to his sons Henry, Jr. and Ira, who had this building erected in 1905-06. The firm was widely known for its gold chains, but it successfully diversified when watches with chains fell out of fashion after World War I. The company, no longer a private family business, moved to larger quarters in Lincoln, Rhode Island in 1999. The city purchased the building in 2000, and converted it for use as its main police station.</p><br>

<p>Truesdale Hospital is a historic former hospital building located at 1820 Highland Avenue in Fall River, Massachusetts. It was built in 1920 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. It has since been converted into apartments, known as The Highlands.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The hospital was founded by Dr. Philemon E. Truesdale in 1905. It was originally located in the former First Baptist Church parsonage, on the corner of Winter and Pine Streets in Fall River.</p><br>
<p>The new Truesdale Hospital was built in 1912. A south wing was added in 1923, increasing bed capacity to one hundred. A new surgical wing was added in 1927, with a gift from Earle P. Charlton. In 1980, Truesdale Hospital merged with Union Hospital and was renamed Charlton Memorial Hospital.</p><br>
<p>The hospital also established a nursing school in 1912, which graduated its first class in 1915. Students were required to live in a residence on the hospital grounds. The nursing school closed in 1972.</p><br>
<p>The Truesdale Hospital Clinic was previously located on Rock Street in Fall River. This building is still standing, and is now part of the Lower Highlands Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Towne Street Historic District is a historic district on Towne Street, east of Jackson Street in North Attleborough, Massachusetts. Included in the district are numbers 224, 240, 251, and 260 Towne Street. It encompasses a collection of widely spaced rural-suburban houses built in the middle decades of the 19th century. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Towne Street is located in central eastern North Attleborough, on the fringe of the Attleborough Falls area that was the site of major industrial economic activity in the 19th century. The street was a rural lane from an early period, and the stretch between Jackson Street and Stanley Street was not built on until the 1830s, prior to the industrial development of the Falls. The widely spaced houses and rural feel have been retained since that time.</p><br>
<p>The first houses built on the street were the Stanley House (260 Towne Street, c. 1835) and the Thomas Wilmarth House (251 Towne Street, c. 1850). Both are Greek Revival in character, with five-bay facades and centered entrances, but the older house has a central chimney (reminiscent of older Federal and colonial styles), and has a less fully realized Greek Revival treatment present in the Wilmarth House. The Wilmarth house was enlarged in the 1880s, adding some Gothic features. The Miller House (240 Towne Street), was built c. 1870, and is a vernacular structure with an ornate Italianate bracketed hood over the entrance. The Edwin Wilmarth House was built about 1880, and has a porch with spindled balustrade, and a three-story tower characteristic of the Queen Anne period.</p><br>
<p>The Coram Shipyard Historic District is a historic district encompassing a colonial-era shipyard at 2120, 2125, and 2130 Water Street in Dighton, Massachusetts. The district includes two houses, built c. 1700, and the archaeologically sensitive site of a shipyard which operated for a roughly five-year period between 1698 and 1703. The shipyard site is now home to the Taunton River Yacht Club, whose property includes the wharf built by Thomas Coram and John Hathaway, the proprietors of the shipyard. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Dighton, located on the west bank of the Taunton River in central Bristol County, Massachusetts, was settled by European colonists in the 1680s and incorporated as a town in 1712. It became significant as a maritime shipping endpoint in the 18th century because seagoing vessels were unable navigate further up the river. As a result, shipyards and wharves were built in several places on the banks of the river. Its very first shipyard was established about 1698 in an area that is just south of the junction of Main and Water Streets along the mid-section of the town&#39;s shoreline with the river. The surviving elements of this shipyard include the two houses of its principal operators, Thomas Coram and John Hathaway, and a stone wharf they built into the river.</p><br>
<p>The wharf that Coram and Hathaway built is now home to the Taunton River Yacht Club. The wharf, measuring about 50 x, is located behind the club&#39;s c. 1950 clubhouse, and is made of rough-cut stone now covered in grass. Modern pilings have been built around its edges to provide access to the river. Opposite the wharf stands the house of John Hathaway, with that of Thomas Coram just to its south. Both houses are now 2-1/2 story wood frame houses, with a central chimney and a side gable roof. It is unknown how the houses appeared at the time of their construction c. 1699-1700, because architectural analysis of their structure has not been conducted. The present appearance of both houses suggest mid-18th century Georgian architecture, the Coram house having been altered in the 19th century by an Italianate porch across three of its front base (rebuilt with less styling in the 20th century).</p><br>
<p>The Edwin Forrest House  is a historic house and arts building at 1346 North Broad Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Built in 1853-54, it was from 1880 until 1960 home to the Philadelphia School of Design for Women, at one time one of the nation&#39;s largest art schools for women. The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1993 for this association.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Edwin Forrest House is located in Philadelphia&#39;s Yorktown neighborhood, on the west side North Broad Street between Master and West Thompson Streets. The building has three parts: the original townhouse, a theater addition to the south, and a classroom wing to the rear. The townhouse is a three-story brick building with a brownstone, exhibiting Italianate styling that was popular at the time of its construction. Windows decrease in height from the first to third floors, and those on the first two floors have decorative bracketed hoods over them. The main entrance is at the center of the five-bay facade, topped by a hood with paired brackets. The window directly above projects, with a similarly bracketed base and hood.</p><br>
<p>The original townhouse portion of the building was built in 1853-54 for William Gaul, a wealthy brewer, to a design by Stephen D. Button, a prolific local architect. The Philadelphia School of Design for Women purchased the property in 1880, and built an extensive rear addition westward to Carlisle Street, to house art studios. The addition&#39;s Master Street façade was brick, but fitted with brownstone-trimmed windows consistent with those of the original house. The school, which later changed its name to the Moore College of Art, continued to occupy the building until 1960. The Philadelphia Cotillion Society purchased the building and used it as a community center until 1968.</p><br>
<p>Today the building is occupied by Freedom Theatre, which provides professional instruction in acting and live theatre production.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 for its architecture, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1993 for its association with the art school, whose only surviving building it is.</p><br>
<p>Shchastya Bay  is a bay in the Nikolayevsky District of Khabarovsk Krai, Russian Federation.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Shchastya Bay is a long coastal lagoon in the southern end of the Sea of Okhotsk facing the northwestern tip of Sakhalin. It is limited in the north by the Petrovskaya Kosa landspit, Chkalov Island and Baydukov Island.</p><br>
<p>The bay is shallow, with many shoals; it is about 40 km wide and has an average length of 7 km. There are three passes, the broadest of which is between Chkalov and Baydukov Islands.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Shchastya Bay area was populated by Russians who built winter settlements in the area in centuries past. Nowadays there are three settlements around Shchastya Bay: Menshikovo, Vlasevo and Khaburs. Administratively this lagoon belongs to the Khabarovsk Krai of the Russian Federation.</p><br>
<p>This bay became briefly the center of attention of the press in 1936 when Soviet pilot Valery Pavlovich Chkalov flew on an Antonov ANT-25 plane from Moscow through Franz Joseph Land, Severnaya Zemlya, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and Khabarovsk. The plane landed 56 hours and 20 minutes later in Udd Island (now Chkalov Island) after having covered 9,374 km.</p><br>
<p>Shchastya Bay is the title of a 1987 Soviet movie, "Zaliv Shchastya".</p><br>
<h2>Ecology</h2><br>
<p>This lagoon is a bird sanctuary and a great variety of shorebirds have their home in the area.</p><br>
<p>Churchill Island is a 50.7 hectare island in Western Port, Victoria, Australia. It is connected by a bridge to Phillip Island. It is the site of the first European garden in Victoria. It contains a working farm, cottages dating from the 1860s and a homestead dating from 1872, all fully restored and open to the public. The island adjoins the 670 hectare Churchill Island Marine National Park. The island is maintained by Phillip Island Nature Parks.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1801, during the course of a survey of Western Port, Lieutenant James Grant had some of his convict crew fell some trees and build a blockhouse on Churchill Island. They cultivated a patch of soil and Grant planted seeds of wheat, corn, potatoes, peas, coffee berries, apples, peaches and nectarines given to him for the purpose of creating a garden "for the future benefit of our fellow men be they Countrymen, Europeans or Savages" by John Churchill of Dawlish in Devon, England. This was the first European garden and crop of wheat grown in Victoria. Samuel Amess, a former mayor of Melbourne, purchased the island in 1872 and built the substantial home that still stands today.</p><br>
<p>The Boonwurrong people may have visited Churchill Island for thousands of years before Europeans arrived. Remains of stone foundations from two unknown buildings are also preserved on the island. The Churchill Island Marine National Park adjoins the island&#39;s western shore, and Western Port bay, in which the island is located, is listed under the Ramsar Convention.</p><br>
<p>Churchill Island and the area around it served as the location for the 1977 Australian film Summerfield.</p><br>
<p>The Crown is a historic public house situated on All Saints Lane, Bristol, England and is near to St Nicholas Market. The Crown is located in an area known as "the Old City". The Crown was built in the 18th Century and is a Grade II listed building.</p><br>
<p>It was built on the medieval Bristol Tolzey Court. This court had been a meeting place for Bristol&#39;s merchants and had jurisdiction over a wide range of cases involving damage claims or disputed debts. The Crown has occupied this site since 1741. Originally it was the vaulted cellars that formed the original trading area. These were initially known as The Trap, but subsequently became known as The Crown Tap Cellar</p><br>
<p>Since the closure of the Eclipse in July 2006 the Crown now rivals the Hatchet as an Alternative pub, which is popular with goths, punks, rockers, metalheads and emos.</p><br>
<p>There are regular alternative clubs in the old cellar (known as the Trap) of the Crown.</p><br>
<p>The cellar is also said to be haunted by a ghost of a gentleman from the 17th century wearing a Periwig, who only appears to women.</p><br>
<p>The William G. Carleton Auditorium, built in 1954, is a historic building on the campus of the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, in the United States. Like several other buildings on campus, it was designed by architect Guy Fulton in an early campus Brutalist style, and it is joined to Walker Hall by a breezeway. It seats 680 and was used as a lecture hall for the University College . In 1970, it was renamed for William G. Carleton, longtime professor of history and social sciences known for the colorful presentation of his freshman "American Institutions" lectures.</p><br>
<p>In 2008 Carleton Auditorium became a contributing property in the University of Florida Campus Historic District which was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 20, 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Buor-Khaya Gulf or Buor-Khaya Bight  is one of the most important gulfs of the Laptev Sea. It is located between the eastern side of the Lena delta on its western side and Cape Buor-Khaya at its NE end.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Tiksi Bay and the Bykovsky Peninsula lie on the western shores of the Buor-Khaya Gulf. Heavily eroded Muostakh Island, the remainder of an ancient great plain, is located roughly in the midst of the gulf.</p><br>
<p>The Omoloy River is the only large river flowing into the Buor-Khaya Gulf, its mouth is located halfway up the eastern coast.</p><br>
<p>The sea in this gulf is frozen for about nine months every year and often clogged with ice floes.</p><br>
<p>Administratively the Buor-Khaya Gulf belongs to the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) of the Russian Federation. There is an abandoned polar station in Buor-Khaya.</p><br>
<p>Mount Lantoy is a 593 m mountain located 10 km inland from the municipality of Argao, Cebu in the Philippines.</p><br>
<h2>Watershed forest reserve</h2><br>
<p>Mt. Lantoy was declared as a watershed forest reserve by virtue of Presidential Proclamation No. 414 on June 29, 1994. The initial 7,265 hectare protected area was reduced in December 2006 via a new Executive Order issued by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, reducing the watershed reserve area coverage to 3,000 hectare.</p><br>
<h2>In Philippine mythology</h2><br>
<p>In Philippine mythology, Mount Lantoy is said to be the domain of Maria Cacao, a diwata who lives in a cave in the mountain. Outside her cave grow numerous cacao trees, which are said to be her plantation. After harvest time come rains that wash down the mountain, enabling Maria Cacao to float down to the towns below in her golden ship to sell her products.</p><br>
<p>Tigert Hall, built in the late 1940s and early 1950s, is a historic administrative building located on the eastern edge of the University of Florida campus in Gainesville, Florida. It was designed by architect Jefferson Hamilton in a modified Collegiate Gothic style to function as the universitys main administration building. In 1960, it was renamed for John J. Tigert, the universitys third president, who served from 1928 to 1947. Tigert Hall faces S.W. Thirteenth Street , one of the major public roads adjoining the university&#39;s campus.</p><br>
<p>Tigert Hall became a contributing property in the University of Florida Campus Historic District in 2008; the historic district had been previously added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 20, 1989.</p><br>
<p>Barnard Mills is an historic mill at 641-657 Quarry Street in Fall River, Massachusetts. Developed beginning in 1874, it was the first mill to use ring spinners instead of mule spinners, and was a major local employer until its closure in 1939. The complex has been redeveloped as a commercial retail space called Tower Mill. The mill was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Barnard Mills complex occupies a highly visible location, set between Quarry Street and the Quequechan River, just northwest of Interstate 195 at its western junction with Massachusetts Route 24. The main building is a five-story granite structure, 280 ft long and 74 ft wide, with a tall centrally positioned Italianate tower. Attached to the southern corner of the main building is a two-story granite weave shed.</p><br>
<p>The mill corporation was organized in 1872, but the mill was not built until 1874. It was constructed in native Fall River granite for the manufacture of cotton cloth during the citys post-Civil War textile building boom. It had an initial capacity of 28,000 spindles, which was later increased to 66,000 spindles with the construction of the attached weave shed in 1896. L.I. Barnard served as the first president of the company, and N.B. Borden was treasurer. It was the citys first mill to print cloth wider than 28 in. In its later years, it diversified into the production of tweeds and twills. The company was liquidated in 1939.</p><br>
<p>During the 1980s the mill was converted into a retail outlet center, known as Tower Place. It is now known as Tower Mill, housing a variety of commercial and retail enterprises.</p><br>
<p>Central Congregational Church is an historic church at 100 Rock Street in Fall River, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The church was built in 1875 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It was designed by Boston architects Hartwell & Swasey, who also designed several other notable buildings in Fall River, including the Academy Building and several city fire stations. It was well known in its early days for being the home church of Lizzie Borden and her family.</p><br>
<p>In the 1990s and 2000s, the church and abbey were renovated into the International Culinary Academy, with the Abbey Grille and classrooms in the abbey and a large function hall in the main church. The Academy and restaurant closed in March 2009, citing lack of funds (which had also been cited in connection with deterioration of the steeple, which has left it wrapped in black fabric and the surrounding sidewalk closed).</p><br>
<p>The Hook & Hastings organ was built some time ago. This Hook & Hastings organ is one of the only ones in the area. The organ is located in the main hall.</p><br>
<h2>In popular culture</h2><br>
<p>It was the site used, in the spring of 1993, for the performance segment of the video for "Cryin&#39;" by Aerosmith, who had played the area in the early days. The church was also featured on the first season episode of Haunted Towns where paranormal team Tennessee Wraith Chasers were the first ones to investigate it, trying to communicate with the ghost of Lizzie Borden who taught Sunday school here.</p><br>
<p>The Central New Bedford Historic District is one of nine historic districts in New Bedford, Massachusetts, United States. The district encompasses the citys central business district, built up during the time in the late 19th century when textiles had replaced whaling as the citys main industry. It is a 29 acre rectangular area bounded by Acushnet Avenue and the older New Bedford Historic District on the east, School Street to the south, Middle Street on the north and 6th Street  in the west. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The city of New Bedford began as an agrarian community in the 17th century, and rose in the late 18th century to become the preeminent center of the whaling industry. This focused urban development near its waterfront, an area that is now represented by the New Bedford Historic District, a National Historic Landmark. When whaling began to decline in the mid-19th century, the citys economy turned to textiles, which resulted in a second commercial building boom, and the creation of the citys modern business district. This area is inland, south and west of the original whaling center. Its major roadways are 6th Street, running north-south, and Union Street, running east-west. Within the district are 79 buildings, mostly commercial or mixed-use, including New Bedford&#39;s city hall. A few older buildings are in the Greek Revival style, but most are either Classical Revival or Romanesque Revival, styles more common in the late 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The principal cluster of municipal and civic buildings is located between Pleasant and 6th Streets at the northern end of the district. At the far north is the Post Office, a Classical Revival building designed by Oscar Wenderoth and built in 1915. New Bedford City Hall occupies an entire city block between Elm and William Streets; it is a Renaissance Revival building built 1885-86, and greatly enlarged after a fire gutted the building in 1906. Immediately to its south, across William Street, is the Free Public Library, a cruciform Greek Revival building with a temple front; it was designed by Russell Warren and built in 1838-39, serving as the first city hall. Across 6th Street, behind the library, stands the Classical Revival Registry of Deeds, designed by Samuel Hunt and built in 1908-10.</p><br>
<p>The Central Fire Station is an historic fire station at Leonard and School Streets in Taunton, Massachusetts. Built in 1869, it is the third oldest fire station still in use in the country, and the oldest in the city. It houses Taunton&#39;s Engine 1, Ladder 1 , Heavy Rescue 1, and Battalion Chief. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Central Fire Station is located at the southwest corner of Leonard and School Streets in the city&#39;s central business district. It is a handsome brick 2-1/2 story structure, with a hip roof that has centered gables on its street-facing sides, and a mansard-roofed tower at the southwest corner. The main facade faces Leonard Street, and is dominated by four equipment bays, divided by granite piers and topped by granite lintels. Windows above are symmetrically arranged, with two segmented-arch windows in the center, and flat-arch windows flanking, with a pair of round-arch Italianate windows in the gable.</p><br>
<p>The station was designed by A.E. Swasey of Hartwell & Swasey of Boston, Massachusetts, and was built in 1869 by Abraham Briggs of Taunton. Swasey&#39;s successful designs in Taunton resulted in further firehouse commissions in Fall River.</p><br>
<p>In 2008, a $2.1 million overhaul of the Central Fire Station began. The project included a reconstructed basement and floor system designed to handle the weight of modern fire trucks. The station was also brought into compliance for access by disabled people.</p><br>
<p>Charlton Mill is a historic textile mill at 109 Howe Street in Fall River, Massachusetts. Built in 1911, it is the last of the city&#39;s stone mill buildings to be built, and the first to feature the dual sources of steam and electrical power. The mill was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Charlton Mill stands in southern Fall River, on the west side of Cook Pond, south of the junction of Howe and Crawford Streets. The three story mill measures 374 ft long and 154 ft wide. Smaller surviving buildings on the site include a boiler house, engine house and storage building. The building was originally powered by a 1,500 horsepower reciprocating steam engine and an 850 horsepower low steam turbine. The company also built a large one story weave shed to the north of the main mill (since demolished). Early plans included a second spinning mill to be located to the west of Mill No. 1, that was never built.</p><br>
<p>The Charlton Mill was the last granite mill constructed in the city. It was built in 1911, with Earl P. Charlton, its principal investor, as president. Charlton was a successful businessman who had established a chain of 53 five and dime stores, and in 1912 became a co-founder of the F.W. Woolworth Company. Its main building provides a marked architectural contrast to earlier mills built in Fall River by its extreme width and large windows. By 1917, it contained 55,992 spindles and 1,300 looms, for the manufacture of fine and fancy cotton goods. The company was sold in 1938, and the facility remained in textile production at least into the 1980s.</p><br>
<p>The Church of the Ascension is a historic Episcopal church building located at 160 Rock Street in Fall River, Massachusetts. It was completed in 1875 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It is also located within the Lower Highlands Historic District.</p><br>
<p>As of 2008, the parish is now known as the Church of the Holy Spirit.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Church of the Ascension Episcopal parish was formed in 1836, and was the first Episcopal parish in Fall River. Services were initially held at the Unitarian Church in 1835, and later at Pocasset Hall. The parish later used the old Town Hall on Central Street until 1840, when it purchased the old First Baptist Church on South Main Street, which burned in 1850 and rebuilt in 1852. However, by 1872, this building proved to be too small for the growing congregation, so services were held in the Music Hall from 1872 to 1875, as plans for a new church on Rock Street were made.</p><br>
<p>The current church building was dedicated on Nov. 29, 1875. It is constructed from Fall River granite with red brick and Scotch stone trim. The masonry work was done by Covel & Baker of Fall River for $39,250. The architect is not known.</p><br>
<p>In 1910, a Tudor Revival parish house was added next to the church. It was designed by Angell & Swift.</p><br>
<p>The church is built in the Victorian Gothic style with a buttressed square tower with a crenellated cap and stone corner pinnacles. The tight massing, is relieved by the addition of a side garden, attached chapel, and handsome brick and shingle parish house.</p><br>
<p>On April 6, 2008 the Church of the Ascension parish signed a joint covenant with St. Johns / St. Stephens Parish and St. Mark&#39;s Episcopal Parish. All three were then merged to become the new Church of the Holy Spirit.</p><br>
<p>Merrehope, a 26-room Victorian mansion that currently serves as a historic house museum, was originally built in 1858 by Richard McLemore for his daughter Juriah Jackson. After changing ownership several times, with small alterations from each owner, the house was eventually bought by S.H. Floyd in 1904, who remodelled it into its present appearance. The building was one of few spared by General William Tecumseh Sherman on his raid of the city in the Battle of Meridian, and has served many functions throughout its history, including time as a residence, a shelter for Union officers, a Confederate General&#39;s headquarters, an apartment building, and a boarding house. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 and as a Mississippi Landmark in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Richard McLemore, one of the first settlers of Meridian, deeded the land on which Merrehope now stands to his daughter, Juriah Jackson, in 1858. Juriah and her husband, W. H. Jackson, constructed a small building which was later remodelled extensively into its present state. The house changed hands in 1863 to a General Joseph E. Johnson, who made some architectural alterations to the original building. The building was used as headquarters for Confederate General Leonidas Polk during the American Civil War and as a shelter for several of Union General William T. Shermans officers when they attacked the city in the Battle of Meridian. The house is one of only six homes in Meridian that remained standing after Shermans raid.</p><br>
<p>After the war, John H. and Eliza Gary resided in the house before selling it to J. C. Lloyd in 1881. The Garys had built the main block of the house, to which was attached the ell that was the original structure. The house took on its current appearance when it was purchased in 1904 by S. H. Floyd, who remodelled the house in the Academic Revival style. The ell was detached and moved back about 20 ft, and a second story containing two servants&#39; rooms, bathrooms, and a hallway was added. On the first floor of the main block, a dining room, stairhall, bathroom, and guest room were added to the rear of the building while the two rooms on the north side of the hall were transformed into double parlors. The rooms on the south side of the hall were converted into a library. Upstairs, a bedroom suite was constructed on either side of the new hallway, and over the rear addition were two bedrooms, a bathroom, and another stairhall.</p><br>
<p>A giant portico was added to the east and south sides of the building, and the two-story Ionic columns were placed atop six-foot plinths connected by a wall which ran the length of the porticos. Three more plinths were added to the north side of the building without columns, and a fourth plinth supports a one story column under the second story of the ell. This column is all that remains of a former porte-cochère. When the portico was added, the original front porch was removed, but the balcony remained, supported by smaller columns attached to the ceiling of the new portico.</p><br>
<p>The home was eventually divided into eight apartments in the 1930s, after which the building served as a boarding house until the 1960s. reflecting the desire of the club to restore the building after decades of neglect. The foundation convinced the Mississippi Legislature to pass a special act allowing the city of Meridian to assist the group financially with the restoration.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 while it was still being restored,</p><br>
<h2>Hauntings</h2><br>
<p>After the restoration of the home, many people claimed to have seen ghosts in the building. John Gary, one of the owners of the house who added most of the rooms present today, had a daughter named Eugenia. Eugenia died of underage consumption as a teenager, never having lived in the building itself. John Gary, who lived in the house for many years, had his funeral service there. Many people have claimed to see Eugenia wandering the halls of the building. The first reported sighting was made by a former hostess who recognized the apparition from a painting in the museum room. Since then, several people have claimed to see or hear the spirit.</p><br>
<p>Eugenia is one of two ghosts believed to be residing in the building; the other haunts the Periwinkle room. Donna White, Merrehope&#39;s current hostess, claims that she was walking into the room when she recognized an imprint of a body on the bed. She ran downstairs and checked the house for intruders but found no one. The ghost also reportedly makes loud crashes and bangs from the room, yet nothing is found broken when the room is inspected.</p><br>
<p>Crescent Mill, later Merchant Mill No. 3, is an historic cotton textile mill located at 54 Front Street in Fall River, Massachusetts. Built in 1872 during an industrial construction boom, it is one of the city&#39;s finest examples of Italianate mill architecture. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It is now used for other light industrial purposes.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Crescent Mill stands in geographically central Fall River, at the southeast corner of Pleasant and Front Streets. The mill is a long rectangular four-story structure, measuring 339 x. It is built out of rough-cut native Fall River granite in the Italianate style, except for its six-story tower, which is fashioned out of dressed ashlar granite. The top floor of the mill has an unusual column-free space, made possible by suspending its ceiling from the roof trusses.</p><br>
<p>The mill was built by the Crescent Mill Corporation in 1872; its design is credited to the company treasurer, Lafayette Nichols. Benjamin Covel served as the companys first president. The mill, powered by steam, had a capacity of 33,280 spindles at the outset, producing brown sheetings and fine fabrics. The mill was sold to Merchants Manufacturing Company in 1893, and became known as Merchants Mill No. 3. Merchants had built its first two mills across Pleasant Street; they were destroyed by fire in 1934. This mill was closed as a textile operation in 1931.</p><br>

The company was founded in 1872 and named in honor of John D. Flint, who served as its first president. The original 1872 mill burned in 1882, and was rebuilt in 1883. The complex was later expanded with a second mill and large addition in 1909. The site also contains a detached granite mill office building. The section of Fall River surrounding the mill became known as "Flint Village". The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The mills were incorporated on February 28, 1872 during a time of remarkable growth within the City of Fall River. Initial working capital was set at $500,000, put in by about 200 shareholders. John D. Flint served as the first president of the company. Some of the other founders include Samuel C. Wrightington, Simeon Borden and William H. Jennings. The original 1872 mill, designed by D.H. Dyer, was built from native Fall River granite. It measured 300 feet long by 94 feet wide, with five stories and an ornate mansard tower. It was an unusually wide mill for its time, as most other mills in the city were about 72 or 74 feet in width. The new mill was fitted with 45,360 spindles and 1,008 looms for the production of print cloths, and employed about 500 people. Power was supplied by a 650 horsepower double Corliss engine fed by 5 upright boilers of 170 horsepower each. Water for the steam system was drawn from a canal dug to the nearby Quequechan River.</p><br>
<p>The company also purchased about 62 acres of land surrounding the mill, which at that time, was still largely farmland. The section of Fall River surrounding the mill became known as "Flint Village".</p><br>
<p>On October 28, 1882 it was destroyed by a massive fire that began in the engine room. Mill #1 was rebuilt in 1883, although without the original ornate tower. A second mill was later added to the east in 1909, and a large addition was made connecting the two mills. By 1911, the capital of the Flint Mills had increased to $1,160,000 with a capacity of 107,000 spindles.</p><br>
<p>The company operated until 1930. Since then, it has been occupied by various small businesses, including garment manufacturers for many years. Mill #1 is currently occupied by Klear-Vu Shipping Corporation and New England Shirt Company, a garment manufacturer.</p><br>
<p>In 2010, a fire started by an arsonist did little damage to the mill.</p><br>
<p>The Harris Street Bridge is a historic truss bridge that spans the Taunton River off Dean Street in Taunton, Massachusetts. Built in 1887, it is the oldest surviving bridge in the city, and was built as part of the one of the city&#39;s earliest public works projects after incorporation as a city. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. It is closed to traffic, and is in disrepair.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Harris Street Bridge is located southeast of the junction of Dean Street (United States Route 44) and River Street in eastern Taunton. Dean Street parallels the Taunton River. When the bridge was built in 1887, it crossed on Harris Street, which is now dead-ended on the south bank of the river to the east. The bridge is a single-span Pratt truss 100 ft long, 35 ft wide, and 35 ft tall, with a span of 95 ft. The truss elements are wrought iron and are fastened together by pins.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was built in 1887 by the Pennsylvania Bridge Company, and is one of only two known bridges in Massachusetts built by them. Its principal purpose was to carry a water main from the nearby Harris Street Pumping Station to the center of the city. Its secondary function was as a road and pedestrian bridge.</p><br>
<p>The bridge has been closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic for many years and its deck and railings are in serious disrepair. It still serves its original primary function, carrying a water pipe over the Taunton River.</p><br>
<p>King Philip Mills is an historic cotton mill complex located at 372 Kilburn Street in Fall River, Massachusetts. Developed between 1871 and 1892, it was historically one of the city&#39;s largest mills, and its building inventory is still largely complete. The complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The King Philip Mill complex is located in southern Fall River, on the northwest shore of Cook Pond. The complex is bounded on the north by Dwelly Street and the west by Kilburn Street. It consists of more than twelve interconnected buildings. Three of the large main mill buildings are built of locally quarried granite, with the 4-5 story Mills 1 and 2 joined by a picker house to form a structure with a unified facade 740 ft in length; this is the longest such building in the city.</p><br>
<p>The King Philip Mill was organized with $500,000 in capital in 1871 and Mill No. 1 was built the same year. In 1881, capital was increased to $1,000,000 and Mill No. 2 was built. Mill No. 3 was added in 1888 for weaving. Mill No. 4 was built in 1892. The architectural design for the buildings was by William F. Sherman and F.P. Sheldon; the latter was a prominent mill designer from Providence, Rhode Island. By 1917 the company had a capacity of 134,000 spindles and 3,000 looms. In 1930 the company was acquired by Berkshire Fine Spinning Associates which later became Berkshire Hathaway. Text production ended in 1961, and the complex is now used by a variety of light industrial concerns.</p><br>

<p>The Mechanics Mill company was incorporated on May 25, 1868 by a special charter granted by the Massachusetts Legislature. Thomas J. Borden served as the first president and D.H. Dyer was treasurer. Along with the Merchants Mill established in 1867, the Mechanics Mill was formed by a large number of stock holders with small means, beginning a new trend in the development of new corporations in the city. There were initially 328 stockholders, compared to a dozen or so with other mills at the time.</p><br>
<p>The mill was constructed north of the city center, along the waterfront with a tidewater dock to receive coal shipments to feed its boilers. Water for the steam engines was obtained from a well shaft dug nearby. The Mechanics Mill was also one of the first in the city to have a fire sprinkler protection system.</p><br>
<p>In 1929 the Mechanics Mill merged with the nearby Weetamoe Mill, but was soon closed. It was later part of Quaker Fabric Corporation, which closed in 2007.</p><br>
<p>The mill experienced a rebirth in 2012 as Commonwealth Landing, including office space, several small stores and two restaurants, including Jerry Remy&#39;s Sports Bar & Grill, owned by Fall River native, former Boston Red Sox second baseman and current NESN sportscaster Jerry Remy.</p><br>
<p>The mill was added to the National Historic Register in 1983.</p><br>
