<p>The Peirce Farm Historic District is a small historic district within the Arlington Heights neighborhood of the town of Arlington, Massachusetts. The district features three houses that are in a transitional style between Federal and Greek Revival styles, dating from the 1830s. The houses are located at 122 and 123 Claremont Avenue, and 178 Oakland Avenue. These three houses were all built by members of the Peirce family, who were among the earliest settlers of the Arlington Heights area, and owned much of its land into the late 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, where the name is misspelled "Pierce".</p><br>
<h2>J. Peirce House</h2><br>
<p>The J. Peirce House is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with a side gable roof and a central entry with sidelight windows. The form is basically Federal, but the decorative trim elements are Greek Revival in style, except for the early 20th-century entry hood. This house was built c. 1830.</p><br>
<h2>John A. P. Peirce House</h2><br>
<p>The John Peirce House is also a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, but it has a front-facing gable and three-bay facade, more firmly in the Greek Revival style. It has corner pilasters and a heavy raking cornice. It was built about 1835.</p><br>
<h2>Thomas Peirce House</h2><br>
<p>The Thomas Peirce House is the most elaborate of the three, with more substantial Greek Revival features than the John Peirce House. It also has the front-facing gable, with paneled pilasters, a full entablature, and a full-pedimented gable. A single-story porch extends across the front and wraps around the side. This house was built about 1850.</p><br>
<p>The Lafayette Reservoir is an open-cut man-made terminal water storage reservoir owned and operated by the East Bay Municipal Utility District . Completed in 1933, it was intended solely as a standby water supply for EBMUD customers. EBMUD opened the reservoir for public recreation in 1966. It is located off of California State Route 24 and a mile from the Lafayette BART station, in Contra Costa County, California. This all-year, day-use area is ideal for hiking, jogging, fishing, boating and picnicking. The reservoir is on the Lafayette-Orinda border. The reservoir is on a 925 acre site and holds 1.4 e9USgal</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Construction of Lafayette Reservoir actually began in 1928, as an earth-filled structure for the dam. The fill was installed very rapidly. This was apparently too fast for the clay foundation, because as the concrete apron was being poured, the foundation began to move downhill. The dam reportedly settled, displacing the structure 200 yd from the toe of the dam 26 feet between September 17 and 21.</p><br>
<p>EBMUD engineers had to quickly redesign the project, first by reducing the reservoir capacity to one-third of its original design. Then they delayed further construction by three years, to see whether more settling would occur. The design change was apparently satisfactory, and the dam was completed in 1933.</p><br>
<p>An observation tower built at the southwestern corner of the lake was left unchanged when the dam was redesigned. Thus, the tower seems too tall for its intended use. The top is accessible only by scaling metal rungs embedded in its side. Therefore, the tiny observation booth is almost always deserted, and the antique doors have turned green from oxidation.</p><br>
<p>During 1935, the Soil Conservation Service (SCS), a Federal New Deal program, started planting 5,000 Monterey pine seedlings at San Pablo Reservoir, many of which were to be used for soil stabilization on slopes around Lafayette and other EBMU reservoirs. By 1940, the program had planted about 57,000 trees around all of EBMUD&#39;s reservoirs. After 80 years, the Monterey pines are close to the end of their life cycle, and some are being removed currently under a thinning program.</p><br>
<h2>Recreation</h2><br>
<p>Rowboats and pedal boats can be rented. Private rowboats, canoes, kayaks and small sailboats are allowed if carried atop your auto (no gasoline engines).</p><br>
<p>The main trail around the reservoir is a 2.7-mile paved footpath named the Lakeside Trail; the 4.5-mile Rim Trail is a more challenging dirt hiking path through the surrounding hills.</p><br>
<p>Families, groups and companies can reserve picnic areas holding 50 or 200 people. Many individual tables and barbecues accommodate smaller groups. A large play area offers lively fun for children. The park has restrooms and a disabled-access fishing dock with adjacent parking.</p><br>
<p>The Warren Rawson House is a historic row house at 37&ndash;49 Park Street in Arlington, Massachusetts. This utilitarian wood frame rowhouse was built c. 1885-90 by Warren Rawson, a leading farmer in Arlington, to house farm workers. It is one of only a few such multiunit buildings to survive in the town. The rowhouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Warren Rawson rowhouse is set on the east side of Park Street in eastern Arlington, in what is now a densely-built residential area. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with seven essentially identical units in a row. Each unit features plainly-decorated doors, windows, and a gabled dormer at the attic level.</p><br>
<p>Warren Rawson was a leading farmer operating in eastern Arlington in the late 19th century, when garden farming was a major economic activity in the town. This rowhouse is one of two surviving worker housing units he built to house the workers in his farming operations (the other is the Warren Rawson Building on Franklin Street), and are believed to be unique to Arlington. Rawson is documented as having employed as many as 65 workers in his extensive operation, which included the innovative use of steam-heated greenhouses and electric arc lighting. His operations extended from Warren Street to the Mystic River.</p><br>
<p>The Stephen Symmes Jr. House is a historic house at 215 Crosby Street in Arlington, Massachusetts. It is built on land that was held in the Symmes family since 1703, when it was purchased from a Native American. Although it has been claimed to date to 1746, the house was probably built in 1841, and may incorporate parts of an older building within it. The building is one of the finest examples of Greek Revival architecture in Arlington, with a pillared porch on two sides. The house is notable for its association with Stephen Symmes Jr., who bequeathed this property to the town for use as a hospital.</p><br>
<h2>Symmes Hospital</h2><br>
<p>The location of the house on Crosby Street was deemed unsuitable for use as a hospital, and the town was granted permission by the probate court to liquidate the estate and use the proceeds to build a hospital elsewhere. This resulted in the construction of Symmes Hospital in Arlington. Symmes Hospital served Arlington from 1901 to 1999, then stood vacant for several years until finally being torn town in 2008. Finally in 2013-2014, the hospital site was redeveloped as the Arlington 360 residences.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>Crystal City Internment Camp, located near Crystal City, Texas, was a place of confinement for people of Japanese, German, and Italian descent during World War II and has been variously described as a detention facility or a concentration camp. The camp, which was originally designed to hold 3,500 people, opened in December 1943 and was officially closed on February 11, 1948. A significant number of those incarcerated were native-born American citizens. The Crystal City Internment Camp was one of the primary confinement facilities in the United States for families during World War II.</p><br>
<p>The detention camps were described at the time as an "internal security" measure, but are now considered to have been "unjust and motivated by racism rather than real military necessity", as reported by the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians.</p><br>
<p>The camp held 3,374 detainees on December 29, 1944. This was the maximum it ever held.</p><br>
<h2>Establishment of camp</h2><br>
<p>Crystal City, named after the town it neighbors and located 110 miles south of San Antonio, was one of the largest camps in Texas. Before the war, it had been a migrant labor camp, built by the Farm Security Administration to house an influx of migrant workers who came to farm the area&#39;s most profitable crop, spinach. At the start of World War II, thousands of Japanese and German residents of the USA, including both USA citizens and resident aliens, were arrested and separated from their families during their initial detention. The FSA camp was turned over to the INS in order to allow these so-called "enemy aliens" to be reunited with their wives and children, and the first group of 35 German families arrived on December 12, 1942.</p><br>
<p>Women and children from Camp Seagoville, which was opened to house Latin American Japanese and became overcrowded with the addition of domestic Japanese American incarcerees, began arriving in early 1943, and their husbands and fathers were transferred to Crystal City from Camp Kenedy and several War Relocation Authority camps, beginning in June. By August 1944, the camp held 2,104 people of Japanese ancestry (approximately half from Latin America) and 804 people of German descent, housed separately by ethnicity.</p><br>
<h2>The incarcerees</h2><br>
<h3>Latin Americans</h3><br>
<p>Early in the war, in the name of "hemispheric security," the United States government began negotiations with several Latin American countries to round up and deport German and Japanese nationals who had been living in those countries. Upon their arrival in New Orleans, Louisiana, the initial wave of male deportees were arrested on the grounds that they had attempted to enter the country illegally (having been denied visas by Immigration authorities) and detained at various INS stations in the region, before being relocated to the internment camps at Kenedy, Texas and Santa Fe, New Mexico. Their wives and children followed them later — ostensibly as volunteers, although most families lacked feasible alternatives to deportation.</p><br>
<p>Of the nearly 1,500 Latin American Japanese confined in Crystal City during the war, almost 80 percent came from Peru. The 234 Latin American Germans had been deported from Bolivia, Colombia, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Honduras, and Nicaragua, in addition to a few from Haiti.</p><br>
<h3>German and Japanese Americans</h3><br>
<p>The Crystal City camp also held Japanese and German Americans that previously lived in many different parts of the United States. Non-citizen Japanese and German men were arrested in large numbers immediately after the attack on Pearl Harbor and forcibly incarcerated in various INS, USA Army and Department of Justice detention sites before being transferred to Crystal City, where they were reunited with their families. The first German American incarcerees arrived in December 1942 from Ellis Island and Camp Forrest. The first Japanese Americans were women and children brought to Crystal City from Seagoville in March 1943. Additional Japanese Americans were transported by train from Western detention facilities and WRA camps in the following months. Most of the Japanese American incarcerees were transported from the West Coast, while the German Americans were brought from numerous locations throughout the United States.</p><br>
<h2>Internment life</h2><br>
<p>The idea of family internment was a new concept proposed with regards to the detention of German and Japanese aliens in World War II. In the Crystal City internment camp, German and Japanese internees lived separately from one another and were placed in two different sections of the Camp. Crystal City INS officials justified the segregation as a way to monitor both groups. The Crystal City Internment Camp received large numbers of detainees from other internment facilities in the United States and the camp became overpopulated. The camp&#39;s German section provided its internees with a German bakery, mess hall, community hall, and cottages. Large German families were given their own cottages that included showers, kitchens, bathrooms, and hot water. A weekly German language newsletter was published, with the title Unter uns. The Japanese section included a Japanese School, the Federal High School, the Federal Elementary School, a citrus orchard, and several recreational facilities such as tennis courts, basketball courts, a football field, and a swimming pool. The Japanese internees of the camp lived in housing with running water and iceboxes.</p><br>
<h3>Children</h3><br>
<p>Almost all of the children held at the Crystal City internment camp were native-born American citizens whose parents were alien non-citizens. Each child at the Crystal City Internment Camp received a liter of milk each day. Three schools were established: the German School, the Japanese School, and the American Schools of Federal Elementary and Federal High School. The schools provided the interned students with all of the basic programs that schools in Texas were required to have. Established in January 1943, the American School at the Crystal City Internment Camp educated over one thousand students before being closed in June 1946. The majority of the American Schools students at Crystal City were Japanese American internees and a large number of the students were later accepted into various universities in the United States. The parents of German American students refused to send their children to the American School, preferring education at the German School. The German American children that transferred into the German School from the American School often struggled in the classroom because they were unable to speak German fluently. The German School and the American Schools had a similar enrollment and each school educated about 350 students. The Japanese School educated about 300 Latin American Japanese and Japanese American students. The Japanese Schools curriculum resembled the curriculum students in Japan received, focusing on Japanese morals, ethics and physical education.</p><br>
<h3>School closing</h3><br>
<p>On January 24, 1946 Crystal City Internment Camp official J. L. O&#39;Rourke closed the German and Japanese schools and ordered that all remaining students enroll in the American schools. The American schools were then closed on June 28, 1946, but only 16 Japanese students still remained in Crystal City with their parents. The population of the camp was already low because numerous internees were repatriated to their native countries after the war ended. The INS rejected the proposed idea of transferring the Japanese students into public schools near Crystal City. Due to the INS decision and the lack of resources to move elsewhere, the remaining Japanese internees reinstalled the Japanese School.</p><br>
<h2>Camp closing</h2><br>
<p>In 1945, as the war was coming to an end, delegates to the Mexico City Conference on the Problems of War and Peace declared that a person would be subject to removal from the Western Hemisphere should their remaining in the Americas prove "prejudicial" to security, and in September, President Harry Truman issued a proclamation that authorized the deportation of enemy aliens in the USA "without admission under the immigration laws." At the end of the year the camp still held 3,374 inmates: 2,371 Japanese and 997 Germans, as well as 6 Italians. By December, 660 Japanese Peruvians (whose country prohibited them from returning) had been transported to Japan and 600 Japanese Hawaiians were returned to their pre-war communities. By June 1946, most of the remaining German and Japanese internees, including another 900 Japanese Peruvians, had been deported. Crystal City remained open, however, to house Japanese Peruvians who had refused to participate in the government&#39;s repatriation program. With the help of ACLU attorney Wayne M. Collins, 364 internees filed a lawsuit and, after two years, obtained parole to work at Seabrook Farms in New Jersey. The Crystal City Internment camp was officially closed upon their release on February 11, 1948.</p><br>
<h2>Legacy</h2><br>
<p>The site of the camp is now owned by the local school district, and is marked by a granite stone engraved with "World War II Concentration Camp, 1943-1946", which was installed in November 1985. The Texas Historical Commission undertook archaeological excavations at the site in April 2013, in preparation for nominating the site for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The listing was approved August 1, 2014.</p><br>

<p>The United States Post Office—Arlington Main is a historic post office at 10 Court Street in Arlington, Massachusetts. Built in 1936, this Colonial Revival brick structure is most notable for the mural in its lobby, which was painted in 1938 by William C. Palmer, with funding from the Federal Art Project. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986; it had previously been included in the Arlington Center Historic District in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Arlington Post Office is set on the west side of Court Street, a narrow side street just north of Massachusetts Avenue in Arlington Center. It is a single story brick Colonial Revival building, with a hip roof topped by an octagonal cupola. The central section of the building projects slightly, with three round-arch bays. The central bay is lined with limestone trim, and houses the recessed entrance. A gable roof section has been added to the roof above the entrance to divert rainwater. The building as a whole is a slightly larger version of buildings the Postal Service was building for smaller communities at the time.</p><br>
<p>The interior is organized with the postmasters office to the right of the lobby area, and the public box area to the left, with service counters at the center and a work area behind. The walls above the marble wainscoting include a mural depicting the purchase of land from Native Americans, and agricultural scenes reminiscent of the towns agrarian past. This work was executed in 1938 by William C. Palmer, with funding from the Federal Art Project.</p><br>
<p>The Capt. Benjamin Locke House is a historic house at 21 Appleton Street in Arlington, Massachusetts. Built c. 1720, this 2.5 story wood frame house is one of the oldest buildings in Arlington, with a distinctive place in its history. It was the home of Benjamin Locke, a captain of the Menotomy  Minutemen, and a skirmish of the 1775 Battles of Lexington and Concord took place near the house. Locke sold the house in 1780 to a Baptist congregation, and it was used by them for services until 1790, when Locke bought it back. The building was the subject of legal action dealing with the separation of church and state, and was later the home of Locke&#39;s son, Lieutenant Benjamin Locke.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Kensington Park Historic District of Arlington, Massachusetts encompasses a turn of the 20th century planned residential subdivision in the hills above the town center, representing an early phase in the towns transition from a rural to suburban setting. The district consists of most of the houses on Brantwood and Kensington Roads, which wind around a rocky hillside overlooking Pleasant Street and Spy Pond, just west of the center. A number of the houses are the work of architect C. Herbert McClare, who also lived in the area, and was one of the developments proponents. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Kensington Park subdivision was laid out in 1890 on land belonging to a number prominent local families. A syndicate of Boston and Cambridge businessmen funded the development, which was marketed as providing fresh air, and a number of modern amenities such as piped water and paved roads. The houses they built were large and predominantly Colonial Revival in styling, although other popular styles of the period, including Shingle, Craftsman, and Queen Anne, are represented in the surviving houses. McClares own house at 9 Brantwood Road, built c. 1898, is a fine Queen Anne/Shingle style house with views of the Boston skyline. The Carroll House (101 Brantwood) is the neighborhoods finest example of the Bungalow style; it was built in 1900, and features the low-slung roofline typical of the style, with rustic fieldstone porch piers.</p><br>
<p>The Lake Fish Hatchery Historic District comprises nine buildings built between 1930 and 1932 by the USA Fish and Wildlife Service in the National Park Service Rustic style. The buildings exhibit a consistency of style and construction, with exposed gable trusses and oversized paired logs at the corners, all with brown paint. The district is located on the shore of Yellowstone lake near the Lake Hotel The hatchery was established to provide Yellowstone cutthroat trout eggs for state and federal hatcheries outside Yellowstone.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>By the early 20th century, a number of hatcheries were established in the park by the USA Bureau of Fisheries including hatcheries at Yellowstone Lake and Soda Butte Creek. The current Lake Fish Hatchery replaced an earlier hatchery at Lake. These hatcheries not only produced stocks for the park, but also took advantage of the great spawning stock of Yellowstone cutthroat trout to supply eggs to hatcheries around the USA Between 1901 and 1953, 818 million trout eggs were exported from the park to hatcheries throughout the USA</p><br>
<p>The hatcheries and stocking operations had both positive and negative impacts on the quality of angling in Yellowstone National Park in the first half of the 20th century. Many native populations were displaced by non-natives, but there was quality brown and rainbow trout fishing in the Firehole, Madison and Gibbon Rivers. Ultimately stocking and hatchery operations negatively impacted Yellowstone cutthroat, westslope cutthroat trout and Arctic grayling populations in the park. In 1953 the National Park Service began closing the hatcheries and stopping stocking operations. The last fish stocked for the benefit of anglers was in 1955 after some 310 million fish had been released in park waters since 1889. The last hatchery was closed in 1957.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The chief building of the district is Building 725, the South District Office for the park and the former Fish and Wildlife Service messhall. The 1,588 ft&sup2; building was built in 1935 using a "logs out" technique of construction, in which the log frame is exposed on the outside and the sheathing is set in, giving the interior a smooth wall finish. Building 726 was the hatchery, built in a similar style about 1930 and transferred to the Park Service in 1959. The one story building encloses about 3,464 ft&sup2;. An arched log truss is a prominent feature of the end elevation, together with a rubblestone chimney. Building 729 was an office and summer residence for the Fish and Wildlife Service&#39;s hatchery director. Built in 1932, the 2,173 ft&sup2; one story building matches its neighbors, in an L-shaped plan. Buildings 730 and 731 are smaller residences, built about 1931. Building 732, a garage, was built in 1930 with six bays. Building 733 was a FWS bunkhouse, built in 1930 with about 2,295 ft&sup2;. Building 735, a wash house, and 737, an oil house, complete the ensemble.</p><br>
<p>The district was originally under the jurisdiction of the USA Fish and Wildlife Service, but with the cessation of hatchery operations, it is now owned by the National Park Service. The hatchery messhall became the office for the southern district of the park. The former bunkhouse also became Park Service offices. The Lake Hatchery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 25, 1985</p><br>
<p>The Lamar Buffalo Ranch was created to preserve one of the last free-roaming bison  herds in the United States. The ranch was established in 1907 when 28 bison were moved from Fort Yellowstone to the Lamar Valley in the northeast portion of the park. The herd was maintained as a semi-domesticated source of additional bison to enhance the parks natural herd. The ranch supported bison ranching till the 1950s. As the ranched herd increased in size, it was released to the open range and it interbred with the wild herd. The ranch continued to be used to produce hay to feed the bison in the winter until the 1950s. Because the winter feeding program maintained the herd at artificially high levels and distorted the herds distribution in the park, it fell from favor as the National Park Service adopted wildlife management policies that interfered as little as possible with each species&#39; natural ecology.</p><br>
<p>The historic district comprises five buildings built between 1915 and the 1930s. The historic district includes the ranger station, built in 1915, the bunkhouse, built in 1929, a residence which was moved from Soda Butte in 1938, a 1927 barn and a corral The bunkhouse, its interior remodeled, is used by the Yellowstone Association, which conducts classes and seminars there.</p><br>
<p>The Zula Linklater House is a two-story office building on Second Avenue in downtown Hillsboro, Oregon, United States. Completed in 1923, the Mediterranean style structure is built of concrete, wood, and stucco. Originally constructed for Zula Warren Linklater as a home, it was renovated and turned into office space in 1984. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Zula Warren was born on August 12, 1870, near Hillsboro with the family residence near what is today 10th Avenue and East Main Street. She married local doctor Samuel Towers Linklater after she turned 28 years old and would have six children with the widower. The husband died on February 8, 1914, with Zula using the family investments to support the family and build a new home.</p><br>
<p>Daughter Ruth requested that her mother build a home “that would last forever.”</p><br>
<p>On August 1, 1984, the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places as the Zula Linklater House. That year contractor and developer Eugene Zurbrugg renovated the structure and converted it into office space. With it fully leased at the completion of the remodel, the conversion was seen as a beginning of a change to the building type in downtown Hillsboro from retail to a more commercial focus. As of 2008, the building housed professionals, including the Legal Aid office for Washington County.</p><br>
<h2>Details</h2><br>
<p>The two-story, gray office building was built of wood, concrete, and featured a stucco exterior. It was the only home in Hillsboro constructed of concrete during the 1920s. The Zula Linklater House is of the Mediterranean Revival Style architecture popular at the time of its construction.</p><br>
<p>Old Faithful Lodge in Yellowstone National Park is located opposite the more famous Old Faithful Inn, facing Old Faithful geyser. The Lodge was built as a series of detached buildings through 1923 and was consolidated into one complex by architect Gilbert Stanley Underwood in 1926-27. The Lodge is included in the Old Faithful Historic District.</p><br>
<p>Compared with the Inn, which is a full-service hotel, the Lodge provides only dining, social, administrative and registration services for lodgers, who are accommodated in detached cabins surrounding the Lodge. Several earlier buildings were consolidated by Underwood into the single rambling structure, with the help of National Park Service architect Daniel Ray Hull, in 1926-27.</p><br>
<p>The Lodge includes a common lobby, dining spaces and a recreation hall, known as Geyser Hall, of log construction in the National Park Service Rustic style. The roof structure of the 136 ft by 100 ft Geyser Hall is reminiscent of Gothic wood construction, with a height of 73 ft to the ridge. The hall is arranged with a central nave-like structure, with subsidiary side aisles.</p><br>
<p>Accommodations are located behind and to the east of the lodge in "frontier cabins" with en-suite toilets and "budget cabins" with communal toilets and showers. The lodge and cabins are open during the summer season. The cabins are descendents of the original tent camps established by the Shaw and Powell Camping Company in 1913-1915. From 1919 the camp was operated by several owners under the Yellowstone Park Camps Company. Concurrent with the construction of the consolidated Old Faithful Lodge, the camp was acquired by Harry W. Child in 1928 and renamed the Yellowstone Park Lodges & Camps Company. This company was amalgamated with Child&#39;s Yellowstone Park Company in 1936.</p><br>
<p>The Roosevelt Lodge Historic District comprises the area around the Roosevelt Lodge in the northern part of Yellowstone National Park, near Tower Junction. The district includes 143 buildings ranging in size from cabins to the Lodge, built beginning in 1919. The Lodge was first conceived as a field laboratory for students and educators conducting research in the park. It later became a camp for tourists, specifically designed to accommodate automobile-borne tourists. The Lodge is a simplified version of the National Park Service Rustic style.</p><br>
<p>The location is close to the reputed campsites of USA Presidents Chester A. Arthur and Theodore Roosevelt. In commemoration of Roosevelt&#39;s 1903 visit, a tent camp called Camp Roosevelt was set up by the Wylie Permanent Camping Company.</p><br>
<p>The lodge was built in 1919, and with the nearby supporting buildings built in subsequent years, was planned to give the ambience of a dude ranch. Significant buildings include:</p><br>
<p>Roosevelt Lodge: Built in 1919-1920, the L-shaped one story log building provides a communal meeting space and dining facility for visitors and staff. The larger spaces feature exposed log roof beams set into a lowered ceiling.</p><br>
<p>Store: Built in 1936 for the Haynes Company, a small L-shaped log structure in the "logs out" style with flush sheathing between vertical logs.</p><br>
<p>Caretaker&#39;s Cabin: Built in 1924 by the Yellowstone Company, a one-story log cabin.</p><br>
<p>Manager&#39;s Cabin: Built in the 1920s by the Yellowstone Park Company, a one-story frame cabin.</p><br>
<p>Powerhouse: A logs-out structure housing the auxiliary generator.</p><br>
<p>Comfort Stations: Several buildings in the logs-out style</p><br>
<p>These structures are surrounded by a variety of utility buildings and visitor cabins. The cabins can be divided into four main types:</p><br>
<p>Logs Out Cabins: Built 1924-1942, of frame construction with flush horizontal siding and log trim details.</p><br>
<p>Board and Batten Cabins: Built between 1929 and 1947, of frame construction with board and batten siding and exposed log rafters or purlins.</p><br>
<p>Flush Horizontal Siding Cabins: Built after the 1920s of frame construction with flush siding and exposed log purlins.</p><br>
<p>Studs Out Cabins: The most recently constructed historic cabins, moved to Roosevelt from other locations, with framing exposed and sheathing on the inside.</p><br>
<p>The Roosevelt Lodge is located near Tower Junction on the Grand Loop Road, which is itself a National Historic District.</p><br>
<p>Chengcing Lake, also known as the Cheng Ching Lake, Dabei Lake , or Toapi Lake in Taiwanese, is an artificial lake located in Niaosong, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The lake is not far from downtown Kaohsiung and the major suburban district of Fengshan. The lake is a source of the water supply network and a tourist area of the Kaohsiung region.</p><br>
<h2>Park and aquarium</h2><br>
<p>A portion of the lake with its shore is administrated as a gated park. A chateau of Chiang Kai-shek, the former president and military leader of Taiwan, is located in the park. Around the lake shore, Chiang also established an underground military headquarters, which has been adapted into a public aquarium, the Cheng Ching Lake Exotic Marine Life Museum. It was originally built as an underground tunnel in 1961, as protection against a nuclear attack.</p><br>
<p>The Bridge of Nine Turns across the lake was built in 1960. It is 230 meters in length by 2.5 meters wide, including nine right-angled turns.</p><br>
<p>The restored Jhongsing Pagoda the lake area&#39;s tallest structure, standing 43 meters high, with good views from the top, which can be reached via winding stairs.</p><br>
<p>After Mainland China fell under the control of the Chinese Communist Party in 1949, General Huang Chieh led 30,000 Republic of China Army soldiers to Vietnam and they were stationed at Phu Quoc Island. Later, the army moved to Taiwan in June, 1953. There is currently a small island in Chengcing Lake that was constructed in November 1955 and named Fuguo Island (富國島) in memory of the fleeing Chinese soldiers in 1949.</p><br>
<p>Beverly Drive-In Theatre was constructed in 1948 as a cinema structure in Forrest County, Mississippi. The main screen measured 105 feet by 75 feet , and the theatre contained a paved parking area for 500 cars. The back of the screen tower held a display of neon lights that denoted the Beverly logo with a moon and shooting stars. The original owners built their family home beneath the main screen.</p><br>
<p>In 2007, the Mississippi Heritage Trust listed the Beverly Drive-In as one of the ten most endangered historic places in Mississippi. The theatre was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 30, 2008.</p><br>
<p>The theatre operated from 1948 through 1987, and periodically for special events, into 2005, when Hurricane Katrina caused significant damage to the screen and buildings. In 2005, it was the oldest drive-in theatre still operating in Mississippi.</p><br>

<p>Mount Morgan is a mountain located in northwestern Inyo County, California, in the John Muir Wilderness of the Inyo National Forest.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Morgan stands within the endorheic watershed of Owens Lake, now a mostly dry lake since its main source of water, the Owens River, was diverted to supply Los Angeles. The west and north sides of Mt. Morgan drain into Rock Creek, thence into the Owens River. The east and south sides of Morgan drain into Morgan Creek, thence into Pine Creek, and into lower Rock Creek.</p><br>
<h2>Climbing</h2><br>
<p>Morgan can be accessed by trail from Rock Creek Canyon, above Tom&#39;s Place on 395. Its trailhead is at the far end of the lake. The trail is well marked the first 4 mi to Francis Lake, where it ends. From there it is a scramble up rocky slopes for 2 mi to the summit.</p><br>

<p>The Mammoth Hot Springs Historic District in Yellowstone National Park comprises the administrative center for the park. It is composed of two major parts: Fort Yellowstone, the military administrative center between 1886-1918, and now a National Historic Landmark, and a concessions district which provides food, shopping, services, and lodging for park visitors and employees.</p><br>
<p>Fort Yellowstone is a carefully ordered district of substantial buildings that clearly indicate their military origins. The USA Army administered the park from 1886 to 1918 when administration was transferred to National Park Service. The park headquarters is now housed in the original double cavalry barracks (constructed in 1909). The Horace Albright Visitor Center is located in the old bachelors&#39; officers quarters (constructed in 1909).</p><br>
<p>The concessions district contrasts with the military district, with a less formal arrangement and style and includes the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel and Dining Room, a gas station, and retail stores. The Yellowstone Main Post Office, itself on the National Register of Historic Places sits just north of Fort Yellowstone. The residential area includes houses designed by architect Robert Reamer.</p><br>
<p>The district is directly adjacent to the Mammoth Hot Springs thermal area, and is itself built on an ancient travertine terrace. The Grand Loop Road Historic District runs through the Mammoth district, and the North Entrance Road Historic District adjoins just to the north.</p><br>
<p>The John Kane House, also one of several places known as Washington&#39;s Headquarters, is located on East Main Street in Pawling, New York, United States. Built in the mid-18th century, it was home during that time to two men who confronted the authorities and were punished for it. During the Revolutionary War, George Washington used the house as his headquarters when the Continental Army was garrisoned in the area.</p><br>
<p>A later owner built a large main wing in the Federal style; the only remnant of the original house is the small kitchen wing. It has since become the property of the Historical Society of Quaker Hill and Pawling, which uses the house as its headquarters and to display exhibits related to local history, particularly the life of pioneering radio broadcaster and executive Lowell Thomas, who lived near Pawling for the later years of his life. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Property</h2><br>
<p>The oldest part of the house is the eastern extension known today as the kitchen wing, a one-and-a-half-story frame structure on a stone foundation. It has a low-pitched gabled shingled roof, pierced by a brick chimney at the gable end. The five-bay south-facing front elevation appears as one story due to the windows and colonnade added later. Earlier stone and frame additions have since been removed. An original rendering vat is in the basement.</p><br>
<p>The main block, added later, is a five-by-three-bay two-story frame house lined with brick. Its most distinctive Federal style feature is the main doorway, flanked by sidelights, fluted pilasters and topped with a rectangular transom window. Smaller versions of the pilasters flank the Palladian window immediately above the doorway. All the other windows are rectangular symmetrical and topped with projecting cornices. A columned Greek Revival portico runs the length of the first story.</p><br>
<p>On the west gable there is a Palladian opening with grilled quarter-round openings on either side and topped with a pediment. The rear entrance uses a Dutch door and lacks the transom but is otherwise identical to the front. Three chimneys rise from the main block&#39;s roof, two in the west and one in the east near the join with the kitchen wing.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the two wings present a contrast. The kitchen wing has little decoration beyond the carved wooden fireplace mantel. The main block is more lavishly decorated, with marble mantels and casings on two of its four fireplaces. All the windows and doors are trimmed in carved wood; the rooms also have similarly carved wainscoting and ceiling cornices.</p><br>
<p>The upper story, mainly given over to bedrooms, also has several fireplaces, all with similarly detailed and painted wooden casings and mantels. The attic is unfinished.</p><br>
<p>There are three outbuildings: a small brick smokehouse, frame woodshed and two-story frame barn. It is not known when exactly they were built, and they have all been altered over the years.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The property was first settled in the late 1730s by William Prendergast, a tenant farmer who leased 200 - southeast of the nascent settlement of Pawling from the Philipse family, the area&#39;s dominant landowners. He built the small house that became the kitchen wing in 1740, adding other buildings later and connecting the two through a 65 foot stone passageway.</p><br>
<p>In 1766 he became a leader in the tenant uprising known as the Dutchess County Anti-Rent War, a revolt against the quit-rents left over from the feudal system left in place by Dutch colonists in the region which made it hard for tenants to eventually purchase their land. It was quelled by troops called in from Poughkeepsie. Prendergast was tried, convicted and sentenced to hang for treason. His wife made a personal appeal to the colonial governor, Sir Harry Moore and he was spared at the last minute by a gubernatorial reprieve and later a royal pardon. The Prendergast family left for Chautauqua County shortly thereafter as it was outgrowing the house.</p><br>
<p>Kane, an Irish immigrant, bought the house later that year. When the Revolution started, he was initially on the Patriot side, as he had been elected to the Provisional Congress of New York in 1775. After the first year of the war, he switched sides and became a Loyalist, convinced the cause was hopeless. Accordingly, his house and property were confiscated by the New York State Legislature, and the following year, in September 1778, George Washington moved in when the Continental Army wintered in the area, where they could move on either New England or New York City at short notice. Kane retreated to the safety of British lines for the remainder of the war, while his family went to Nova Scotia. He received a lifelong pension from the British in 1783, when the war ended, and returned to the Pawling area. Since he could not legally live in or repurchase his home, he lived the remainder of his life with his children.</p><br>
<p>A later owner in the early 19th century demolished all but the original kitchen wing and built the current Federal structure. It went through a variety of later uses, as an inn and a rental property owned by the local bank, but returned to single-family dwelling status late in the century. In 1946 one owner added electricity; it is not known when modern heating and plumbing were installed. In the late 20th century, after it had been listed on the National Register, it was acquired by the Historical Society of Quaker Hill and Pawling and converted to its present use.</p><br>
<p>Mau Forest is a forest complex in the Rift Valley of Kenya. It is the largest indigenous montane forest in East Africa. The Mau Forest complex has an area of 273,300 hectare.</p><br>
<p>The forest area has some of the highest rainfall rates in Kenya. Numerous rivers originate from the forest, including Southern Ewaso Ng&#39;iro, Sondu River, Mara River and Njoro River. These rivers feed Lake Victoria, Lake Nakuru and Lake Natron. Western slopes of the Mau Escarpment are covered by Mau Forest.</p><br>
<h2>Ecology</h2><br>
<p>Typical tree species in Mau Forest include Pouteria adolfi-friedericii, Strombosia scheffleri and Polyscias kikuyuensis. Olea capensis, Prunus africana, Albizia gummifera and Podocarpus latifolius are also found there.</p><br>
<p>Endemic bird species in the area include Hartlaubs turaco (Tauraco hartlaubi), Hunters cisticola (Cisticola hunteri) and Jackson&#39;s francolin (Francolinus jacksoni).</p><br>
<h2>Destruction</h2><br>
<p>The forest has been traditionally inhabited by Ogiek people, whose hunter-gatherer lifestyle is sustainable. However, due to immigration from other ethnic groups, large parts of the forest area have been cleared for settlement. Human activities, especially logging, have led to deforestation of more than a quarter of the area since 1973.</p><br>
<p>In 2008, the inauguration of the Sondu-Miriu hydro power plant was postponed due to low water levels, that are said to be resulting from the destruction of Mau Forest.</p><br>
<h2>Mau Forest evictions</h2><br>
<p>In summer 2008 there has was a political row over resettlement of people, who had been allocated land there during the KANU era during the 1980s and 1990s. Some of the settlers are famed politicians, like Franklin Bett and Zakayo Cheruiyot. In 2004 Paul Ndung’u released "Ndungu Report", which listed these land allocations, terming them illegal and recommended revocation of them. Some evictions were implemented between 2004 and 2006, without a resettlement scheme.</p><br>
<p>On July 15, 2008, Prime minister Raila Odinga issued an order that these evictions to be implemented by October 2008 in order to protect the forest from destruction. The order has been opposed by number of Rift Valley area politicians, led by Isaac Ruto. Some politicians, led by Minister of Agriculture William Ruto, propose that if evictions are implemented, the government should allocate them land elsewhere.</p><br>
<p>The evictions began in November 2009. Some prominent people are set to lose their land, including family members of former president Daniel arap Moi. Also under threat is the Kiptagich Tea Factory owned by former president Moi.</p><br>

<p>The Stony Brook–Factory Village Historic District is a historic district encompassing one of largest and best-preserved industrial villages in Barnstable County, Massachusetts. It is centered on Stony Brook, a stream that flows north into Cape Cod Bay in western Brewster. The industrial power of the stream was recognized in the 17th century, and was actively used into the late 19th century. The 85 acre district is centered on the junction of Satucket Road and Stony Brook Road, radiating away along those roads and for a short distance along Run Hill Road. The architecture of the district is predominantly Greek Revival, although later 19th century styles and 18th century Georgian styles are also represented. It also includes the sites of three mills, including dams, raceways, and a mill pond.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<p>Foote&#39;s Crossing Road  originates in North Columbia, California and winds through the Tahoe National Forest to connect with the community of Alleghany, California. It is a Registered Historic Place.</p><br>
<p>The high bridge crossing at the Middle Yuba River, named Foote&#39;s Crossing (California Point of Historical Interest No. P401), gives the road its name. Alternate names for the road persist, including Tyler Foote Road, Tyler-Foote Road, Tyler Foote Crossing Road or Tyler-Foote Crossing Road due to Cherokee, California, west of North Columbia, once being known as "Tyler".</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Mary Hallock Footes husband, the civil and mining engineer Arthur De Wint Foote, became manager of Grass Valleys North Star Mine after building its powerhouse in 1895. In 1911, O&#39;Brien, Foote & Associates purchased the Tightner Mine in Alleghany. Foote built the road in 1913 to establish a better route between the two mines. The road was significant during the period of 1913&ndash;1924 both as an engineering accomplishment and as an improved transportation route.</p><br>
<h2>Structure</h2><br>
<p>At a cost of $85,000, using manpower and animals, not machinery, it took six months to build the road, a portion of which is a narrow, roughly-graded, single-lane wagon shelf road, while other parts are paved. Wagons wound around bluffs 500 ft above the canyons below. Italian stonemasons built the high stone embankment walls prevalent on the tight curves above the Middle Yuba River. Views of jagged, granite ridges abound along the way.</p><br>
<h2>Route</h2><br>
<p>The Nevada County portion of the road begins in what is now Nevada County&#39;s unincorporated community of North Columbia and passes Columbia Hill. before crossing Grizzly Creek, and then the middle fork of the Yuba River.</p><br>
<p>The Tightner Mining Company and Sierra County jointly built the Sierra County portion of the road, which skirts Kanaka Creek and the Lafayette Ridge on the road&#39;s southern side, but does cross Blue Ravine and Rapps Ravine. The Sierra County portion of the road is 13 mi shorter than the older road.</p><br>

<p>The North Entrance Road Historic District comprises Yellowstone National Park&#39;s North Entrance Road from Gardiner, Montana to the park headquarters at Mammoth Hot Springs, Wyoming, a distance of a little over five miles . The North Entrance Road was the first major road in the park, necessary to join the USA Army station at Fort Yellowstone to the Northern Pacific Railroad at Gardiner. The road includes the Roosevelt Arch at the northern boundary of the park and winds through rolling terrain before crossing the Gardner River and joining the Grand Loop Road. The road was planned in 1883 by Lieutenant Dan Kingman of the USA Army Corps of Engineers and later on improved by Captain Hiram M. Chittenden of the Corps. It replaced the old Gardiner High Road which went from behind the Mammoth Hotel north over the ridges west of the river to the town of Gardiner. The first permanent entrance station to house rangers checking vehicle entering the park was constructed in 1921. It replaced temporary tents used by rangers at the Roosevelt Arch.</p><br>
<p>The North Entrance Road is an unsigned portion of US 89.</p><br>
<p>The Kolyma Bay  is one of the main gulfs of the East Siberian Sea.</p><br>
<p>The bay gets its name from the Kolyma Lowlands, whose coastline forms the whole eastern half of this bay. The Kolyma Lowlands are dotted with numerous lakes and swamps. The sea in this bay is frozen for over nine months every year and is often clogged with ice floes.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Kolesovsky Island and Kolesovskaya Otmel are located close to the shore in the central part of the Kolyma Bay. Further west, the Indigirka River flows into the sea on the western side of the Kolyma Bay, forming a large river delta. The Sundrun River has its mouth at the northwestern limit of the bay.</p><br>
<p>The Kolyma Bay should not be confused with the larger Kolyma Gulf further east.</p><br>
<p>Administratively the Kolyma Bay belongs to the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) of the Russian Federation.</p><br>
<p>The Kolyma Gulf  is the largest gulf of the East Siberian Sea.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The gulf is more than 300 km wide. Its limits are the NE projection of the Kolyma Lowlands close to the Medvyezhi Islands in the west and the Nutel&#39;gyrgym Peninsula and Ayon Island in the east.</p><br>
<p>The Kolyma River flows into the sea in the western side of the Kolyma Gulf, forming a huge river delta full of islands. The bay&#39;s coastline is lowland dotted with numerous lakes and swamps.

<p>Tybee Island Strand Cottages Historic District, also known as The Strand, is a historic district on Tybee Island, Georgia including 18 cottages, walkways, landscape and other features that are largely unchanged since the historic era of Tybee Island as a coastal resort. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The district includes portions of what were lots 73 through 84 of the Tybee Improvement Company, which purchased the island in 1873 and subdivided "The Strand" area in that year. It is located between Butler Avenue and the Atlantic Ocean, from a bit past 12th Street to 14th Street. This is the section between two former hotels, Ocean House at the north and Tybee Hotel at the south. Besides the cottages, two other contributing resources of the district were identified: "one historic site consisting of the overall coastal landscape design; and one structure consisting of the entire system of communal walkways and boardwalk." The walkways ran from hotel to hotel through the cottages. The 1873 plan was for each of the 12 narrow lots to contain a single cottage set back at the center of their lots, with a long grassy expanse in a front area and an extensive rear area. A common path crossed the properties at the front steps of the cottages. Since then, multiple cottages have been inserted into most of the lots and most lots have been legally subdivided. However, within the historic district, three lots (77, 80, 81) still conform to their original 1873 plan, two (74, 75) have their original front portions, and one (83) has its original rear area.</p><br>
<p>Tybee Island is the only coastal resort in Georgia comparable to other examples in the American coastal resort movement such as Cape May, New Jersey, Long Branch, New Jersey, and Nantucket, Massachusetts. The NRHP nomination expands on this:</p><br>
<p>Tybee Island is the only example of the American coastal resort movement in Georgia. The movement finds its roots in the English coastal resorts of Scarborough and Briton, in which British physicians expounded the virtues of the curative powers of sea water as an 18th-century panacea. By the 19th century, this idea was transplanted to America and gave rise to the coastal resorts along the Atlantic coast. Many Georgians as well as other people throughout the South traveled north to resorts in Long Branch, Cape May, New Jersey, and Nantucket, Massachusetts. These resorts were popular and set the standard for resorts by offering such amenities as transportation networks, hotels, service-oriented businesses, and amusement establishments. The resort development of Tybee Island was modeled after these resort areas. At the height of its resort popularity, Tybee Island featured grand hotels, dance pavilions, bath houses, boarding houses and inns, service-oriented businesses, railroad stops, and private summer cottages.</p><br>
<p>"During the mid-19th century, limited recreational activities were provided on Tybee Island; however, visitors had to board a steamer at Savannah and travel over one hour to reach the island. Many people throughout the South had to travel to northern coastal cities to enjoy seaside resorts, which were established during the early 19th century. The development of Tybee Island from limited recreational purposes to a seaside resort was begun in 1873 by the Tybee Improvement Company."</p><br>
<p>The included houses are (with letter indicating marking on National Register map in NRHP nomination text):</p><br>
<p>(R) 1204 Butler Avenue (front house) (Photos 1 and 2 also?) Pierce-McCall Cottage (foreground in photo 1)</p><br>
<p>(Q) 1206 Butler Avenue (front house) (c. 1930) a two-story house is one of only two year-round residences built during the historic period within the district. It was built c. 1930 during the period of transition for Tybee Island from a summer resort destination into a permanent community. The NRHP nomination describes that "Even though the building was brick veneered after the historic period, many of its significant features remain. Character-defining features of the residence include paired and single four-over-one double-hung windows (shorter and narrower than found on the summer cottages), hipped roof with full-facade front portico, and a full-width second-story porch. The residence shares the setback as the summer cottages but lacks the raised first floor and wrap- around porch featured on the summer cottages (photos 1 and 2)."</p><br>

<p>The Unitarian Universalist Church in Cortland, New York  was built in 1837 as a Universalist Church. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>It has cobblestone walls and granite quoins. In 1895, a large arch was cut in the east cobblestone wall and a Morey and Barnes organ was set in the arch. This historic organ is one of only two such historic organs remaining. It is nationally recognized by the American Organ Historical Society for its superb sound and nearly original condition.</p><br>
<p>The building was documented by Historic American Buildings Survey photographer Jack Boucher in 1966.</p><br>
<p>It is one of only 21 surviving cobblestone religious buildings in New York State. It is also the oldest public building still in use in Cortland, NY. "The Town of Cortlandville contributed $100 toward construction of the church in return for the use of the church basement as the Town Hall. The Town retained use of the basement until the 1880s."</p><br>

<p>Kleine Feldhofer Grotte was a karstic limestone cave and a paleoanthropologic site in the Neandertal Valley in western Germany. In August 1856, the Neanderthal type specimen was unearthed from the cave. Miners uncovered a skull cap and a number of skeletal bones to be labeled Neanderthal. The bones belong to at least three distinct individuals.</p><br>
<p>The cave was situated in a limestone gorge with the interior dimensions of 3 m in width by 5 m in length by 3 m in height, and a 1 m opening 20 m above the valley floor in the south wall which was 50 m high. The cave got its name from the nearby large farm of the Feldhof.</p><br>
<p>The cave was completely destroyed during the 19th century as a result of industrial-scale limestone quarrying which widened the gorge. The location of the cave was soon forgotten and by 1900, unknown.</p><br>
<p>In 1997 a successful search for the site of the cave and its deposits yielded 24 fragments of human bone, one of which, identified as NN 13, fit exactly onto the left lateral femoral condyle of the Neanderthal 1 fossil. The 2000 excavation resulted in the recovery of thousands of artifacts. The mitochondrial DNA of two bone samples were fully sequenced, and completed in 2009.</p><br>
<p>Tema Reef, also called Tima Reef, is a submerged coral reef in the northern Cook Islands, 23 km southeast of Pukapuka.</p><br>
<p>No coral or rock shows above water, but the sea breaks heavily over the reef.</p><br>
<p>The reef measures about 550 by, covering a shallow but submerged area of 0.16 km².</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Legend has it that Tima, an Aitutakian warrior sailed to Nassau, but was chased away by Ngalewu, a chief from Pukapuka. On his return to Aitutaki he passed the reef nearby and named it Te Toka-O-Tima, the Stone of Tima</p><br>
<p>The reef was sighted by Commodore John Byron on June 21, 1765. Captain William Williams of the missionary ship John Williams sighted the reef on May 15, 1864. It was again examined by in 1880.</p><br>
<p>Kochelsee or Lake Kochel is located 70 km south of Munich on the edge of the Bavarian Alps. The western third of the lake lies within the borders of the town of Schlehdorf, while the rest belongs to Kochel am See. The southern edge of the lake lies up against the mountains and the northern shore is bordered by bog lands. The history of the settlement of Kochel  begins with Birg bei Altjoch, a rock extrusion on the shore of the lake. The name Kochel is derived from the Latin cocula meaning head or cone.</p><br>
<p>The Loisach flows into the lake at Schlehdorf and flows out at Kochel am See. A similar amount of water flows into the lake from the Isar through the Lake Walchen Power Plant.</p><br>
<h2>Origin</h2><br>
<p>The lake was created during the last glacial period of the current ice age by the Loisach-Isar glacier. The bottom of the glacier scraped out the lakebed. The basin then filled with water at the end of the glacial period. The northern end of the lake silted up forming bogs.</p><br>
<h2>Settlements</h2><br>
<p>The following settlements border the lake:</p><br>
<p>Kochel am See</p><br>
<p>Raut (part of Schlehdorf)</p><br>
<p>Schlehdorf</p><br>
<p>Altjoch (part of Kochel am See)</p><br>
<p>All are part of the district Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen.</p><br>
<p>The Edward Schulmerich House is a two-story private residence on East Main Street in downtown Hillsboro, Oregon, United States. Completed in 1915, the American Craftsman Bungalow style structure was constructed for state senator Edward Schulmerich and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. The building retains much of the original materials used in finishing the interior, including the linoleum in the kitchen and built-in cabinets of this Airplane Bungalow.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Edward Schulmerich was born in 1863 and moved to Oregon with his family in 1869. In 1906, he helped to found the Hillsboro Commercial Bank and later became the president of the bank.</p><br>
<p>He had traveled to Pasadena, California, that year and discovered the arts and crafts style bungalows built there and returned with plans for a house in that style. On February 28, 1991, the structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Details</h2><br>
<p>Designed in the Airplane Bungalow style of residence, the design is meant to resemble an airplane with its smaller second story that provides a 360 degree view much like a cockpit. Other features that mimic aircraft are overhanging eaves and a low angle roof that combined resemble the wings of an airplane. The design exhibits the excitement generated by the early years of airplanes.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the building has an open floor plan and comprises 4,000 square-feet. Two bedrooms are located on the second floor, designed for ventilation during the warmer months and lined with a total of 34 windows.</p><br>
<p>On the outside of the home is a wraparound porch protected by the roof which includes overlapping gabled dormers. There are large, L-shaped brick piers on the porch which, along with the chimneys, was built using clinker bricks. These cast-off bricks were also used to build the large brick foundation. Landscaping features purple wisteria that hangs on the porch. Wood and stucco make up the siding on the exterior.</p><br>
<p>Green Island is a small 17-acre  island of the U.S. state of Ohio, in Lake Erie. It is located approximately three miles southwest of Put-in-Bay. It is part of Put-in-Bay Township, in Ottawa County.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The U.S. Government bought Green Island in December 1851. A lighthouse was later constructed on the island in 1855. The most famous keeper of the lighthouse was Colonel Charles F. Drake, who lived on the island with his family until the lighthouse burned down on New Year&#39;s Eve in 1863. A new, two-story lighthouse was constructed on the island in 1864. It remained active until 1939, when the Coast Guard replaced it with a skeletal tower with an automated light on top. Green Island is currently a wildlife refuge, managed by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, and is no longer open to the public.</p><br>
<p>The Pemberton Icefield or Pemberton Icecap, is the southernmost of the series of very large icefields studding the Pacific Ranges of the southern Coast Mountains in British Columbia, Canada.</p><br>
<h2>Physical Details</h2><br>
<p>Approximately 300 km&sup2; in area, the icefield&#39;s shape is roughly triangular, with an apex on its northern side, where a short gap separates the ice-mass from that of the smaller Overseer Icefield. Some reckonings include the icemasses of the Overseer massif, in which case the Pemberton Icefield&#39;s area may be considered to be ~60 km&sup2; larger in area. Overseer Mountain is the highest summit in the region lying in the triangle between the basins of the Lillooet, Squamish-Elaho and Cheakamus-Green valleys, although the highest named summit in the Pemberton Icefield proper is Longspur Peak, on the main icefield&#39;s northwest flank above the Ryan River, although a higher, unnamed summit lies in between them, at the northernmost edge of the icefield. Just east of Longspur are Kwtamts Peak and Sisqa Peak (names from St&#39;at&#39;imcets language of Lil&#39;wat people, whose traditional territory includes the eastern reaches and related valleys of the icefield). The southernmost summit of the icefield is Exodus Peak, which lies in the angle between the uppermost reaches of the Squamish River and the valley of the Elaho River, a tributary of the Squamish.</p><br>
<h3>Streams</h3><br>
<p>Streams having their origin in the icecap include the Squamish River and Soo River on its southern edge, Rutherford Creek of its eastern point, the Ryan River off its northeast side, and tributary streams to the Elaho River, a tributary of the Squamish, on the west, and the south fork of Meager Creek, on its north side, another tributary of the Lillooet. Other smaller icefields nearby are the Ipsoot Glacier (also known as the Ipsoot Icefield) to the east, on the north side of Rutherford Creek, and the Powder Mountain Icefield to the south, beyond the divide separating the headwaters of the Squamish and Soo Rivers.</p><br>
<h2>Popular Use</h2><br>
<p>Nearby the Resort Municipality of Whistler, the icefield is popular with back-country skiers heli-skiing operations, summer heli-hiking, and onscreen entertainment. Pemberton stands in for Antarctica or the Arctic in films and TV, including the X-Files movie and Stargate: SG-1, "Solitudes" episode, and Stargate: Atlantis long-running Stargate set of series.</p><br>
<p>The Albert Ayer House is a historic house at 8 Brooks Street in Winchester, Massachusetts. Built about 1865, it is a conservative but detailed example of early Italianate architecture. It was built for a locally prominent civic leader. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Albert Ayer House stands in a residential area of southeastern Winchester, at the northeast corner of Brooks and Sanborn Streets. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gable roof and clapboarded exterior. It has wide corner boards, and its porch, which spans the main facade, has chamfered square posts. The roof has side gables, with a center gable over the front, in which is a round-arch window. The front facade is five bays wide, with elongated first-floor windows in the Greek Revival style. Windows on the front and side are topped by shallow projecting peaked lintels.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1865, a period in which Winchester was early in a transition from more agricultural to suburban residential use. It was first owned by Albert Ayer, a prominent local politician who served for many years in a variety of civic roles. For more than 30 years Ayer was the town assessor, and also served four terms on the board of selectmen, and eight years as town clerk. He lived here until 1888. His brother Thomas lived next door on Grove Street.</p><br>
<p>The Asa Locke House is a historic house at 68 High Street in Winchester, Massachusetts. Built in the mid-19th century, it is a well-preserved local example of a side-hall Italianate farmhouse. It is also notable for its association with the locally prominent Locke family, who settled the area in 1699. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Asa Locke House is set on the south side of High Street, at the southeast corner with Overlook Way, in what is now a predominantly residential suburban area. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, three bays wide, with a front-facing gable roof and clapboard siding. A single-story porch extends across the north-facing front and around to the east side, supported by chamfered square posts with segmented-arch bracketing. The front door is set to one side, with full-length windows in the side base. The door is flanked by sidelight windows, and is topped by a transom window. A gabled two-story bay projects from the east side, with a lunette window in the gable, and a two-story ell and garage extend to the rear.</p><br>
<p>The Locke family history on this land dates to 1699, when James Converse bought a large tract of land in this area (then part of Woburn). Lockes descendants include Samuel Locke, who served as President of Harvard College in the 18th century. Asa Locke, a prosperous local farmer, purchased the land this house stands on in 1826. Based on stylistic analysis, this house was built c. 1855, probably for his son Elbridge, who inherited the property in 1857. The house was sold out of the Locke family in 1902, to a partner in Bostons Ivers & Pond Piano Company.</p><br>
<p>The Capt. Josiah Locke House is a historic house at 195 High Street in Winchester, Massachusetts. The two story wood frame Federal style house was built in 1803 by Josiah Locke, a captain in the Woburn militia , in an area farmed by other members of his extended family . The interior of the house has retained significant early details, including period Federal and Greek Revival details, and very early wallpaper. The home is also notable as the residence of 9-time US Womens Figure Skating Champion Maribel Vinson Owen  and her daughter, 1961 US Womens Figure Skating Champion Laurence Owen , both of whom perished in the Sabena Flight 548 crash in February 1961.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Carr-Jeeves House is a historic house at 57 Lake Street in Winchester, Massachusetts. Built in 1869, it is fine local example of Second Empire architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Carr-Jeeves House stands in a small residential area northwest of downtown Winchester, on the north side of Lake Street between Middlesex and Linden Streets. It is a 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a mansard roof providing a full second story, and a clapboarded exterior. It has an L-shaped layout, with a gable end section facing the street, below which is a squared projecting bay. The windows on this facade are arched in polygonal fashion. The gables and eaves (including those on the roof of the projecting bay) have dentil moulding and brackets. There is a three story turret in the crook of the L, also topped by a mansard roof.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1869 by Moses Mann and James Mann, local builders, as a speculative venture. Its design is apparently based on one published in a pattern book. It was sold to Mary Carr the following year, who sold it in 1878 to Thomas Jeeves. He added a carriage barn to the property (now subdivided and converted to a residence). This house is fairly typical of residential construction in Winchester from that period.</p><br>
<p>The Cole House is a historic house on Highland Avenue in Winchester, Massachusetts. Built in 1886, it is one of the town&#39;s most elaborate displays of Stick style decoration. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989,</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Cole House stands in a residential area east of downtown Winchester, on the east side of Highland Avenue just north of its junction with Mason Street. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a complex gable and hip roof, an exterior of wooden clapboards and shingles, and a modern concrete foundation.

<p>The DeRochmont House is a historic house at 2-4 Rangeley Road in Winchester, Massachusetts. Built about 1876 by a Maine lumber magnate as part of the exclusive Rangeley Estate, it is one three examples of Panel Brick Queen Anne architecture in the town. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Rangeley Estate subdivision was a high-end residential development, located southwest of Winchester center on the west side of the railroad tracks. The land was purchased by David Skilling, a lumber businessman from Maine, and developed by him into an exclusive gated development (its wall and a gate are still visible on Church Street near this house). This house was built by him for the DeRochmont family, about whom nothing is known.</p><br>
<p>The house stands at the southeast corner of Church Street and Rangeley Road, at the northern end of Skilling&#39;s development. It is a 2-1/2 story brick house, with a complex roofline typical of the Queen Anne period. The walls are made of polychromatic (principally red and black) brick, with some sandstone trim elements. Gable ends are decorated with vergeboard, and window lintels are sandstone carved with floral motifs on the first floor, and with sawtooth motif on the second. Eastlake-style posts demarcate windows in the gables, and support the small entry porch on the west side.</p><br>
<p>The Deacon John Symmes House is a historic house at 212 Main Street in Winchester, Massachusetts. Built about 1807, it is a fine local example of Federal period architecture, and is also significant for its association with the Symmes family, who were among Winchester&#39;s earliest settlers. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Deacon Symmes House is located at the southern junction of Grove and Main Streets, at a five-way interchange involving those two streets, Bacon Street, and Everell Road. This area is known as Symmes Corner for its association with that family, which began settling the area about 1650. This house is a two-story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with a hip roof, twin rear wall chimneys, and clapboard siding. The entrance is centered and flanked by sidelight windows, with a sheltering shallow hip-roof portico.</p><br>
<p>Rev. Zachariah Symmes, pastor of the Charlestown church, was granted land in this area that was settled by his sons about 1650. One son Deacon John Symmes, a blacksmith, built this house about 1807, making it the oldest surviving house of the Symmes family. The house was originally fitted with a balustrade around the roof, which was removed at an unknown date; the front portico is also a later addition. Also standing nearby are the Marshall Symmes House, built c. 1817 by John Symmes&#39; brother, and the Marshall Symmes Tenant House.</p><br>
<p>The Dike-Orne House was a historic house at 257 Forest Street in Winchester, Massachusetts. A typical rambling New England farmstead, this c. 1850 house was one of the few mid-19th century farmhouses to survive into the late 20th century. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. It was demolished in 1996.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Dike-Orne House stood on the east side of Forest Street, a short way south of the town line between Winchester and Stoneham. It was a rambling 2-1/2 tory wood frame structure, with an attached shed and carriage barn. It was unusual for its Gothic Revival styling, which is relatively rare in Winchester. Vergeboard decoration typical of the style decorated its gables and roof line.</p><br>
<p>The house was probably built about 1850 by Lyman Dike, and predates the final settlement of the Stoneham-Winchester line, which was settled in 1864 in part through the efforts of Dike. In 1865 it was sold to Joshua Orne, a shoemaker working for a factory in Stoneham. Later owners were also recorded as having non-farm trades, indicative that these workers were engaging in farming on the side to supplement their primary income.</p><br>
<p>The Edmund Dwight House is a historic house at 5 Cambridge Street in Winchester, Massachusetts, straddling the town line with Arlington. It was built in 1858 in an Italianate style. It was one of the first and grandest country houses built in Winchester at a time when Boston businessmen were seeking to build such houses. Edmund Dwight, the wealthy businessman who was its first owner, was married to a great-granddaughter of Thomas Jefferson. The houses design is believed to be based loosely on that of Jeffersons Monticello. The house is sited for an expansive view of the Upper Mystic Lake.</p><br>
<p>The house is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, originally finished in clapboard siding. It is basically rectangular, with a rounded central bay on the eastern facade, facing the lake. A single-story porch wraps around three sides of the building. Significant alterations were made to the house in the 1890s, including the stuccoing of the exterior, and the addition of a two story ell to the northeast corner. These changes were made under the auspices of local architect Robert Coit. A second, single-story, addition was made to the northwest corner in 1985. The original 12 acre property purchased by the Dwights was subdivided c. 1940, leaving the house on just 2 acre. The house&#39;s stable was then converted to a residence, and stands on an adjacent lot in Arlington.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Edward Braddock House is a historic house at 112 Highland Avenue in Winchester, Massachusetts. Built in 1893, it is a high-quality example of Colonial Revival architecture with Shingle style elements. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Edward Braddock House is located in an upper-class residential area of northeastern Winchester, on the east side of Highland Avenue at its junction with Wilson Street. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, its exterior clad entirely in wooden shingles. The roof is pierced by large triangular dormers with diamond-pane windows, and a central turret-like dormer at the center of the front facade. A single-story porch extends across the front and around the side, joining to a porte-cochere. It is supported by groups of squat Tuscan columns set on shingled piers, with low balustrades in between.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1893, and was one of a series of fashionable homes built along Highland Avenue around the time the adjacent Middlesex Fells Reservation was established. Arthur Wyman, the developer who built the house, lived next door, and was responsible for development of much of the surrounding area. The house was owned by Edward I. Braddock, an inventor with a portfolio of patents related to metals production.</p><br>
<p>The Edward Gardner House is a historic house at Zero Gardner Place in Winchester, Massachusetts. This 2.5 story wood frame house, built c. 1764, is one of the oldest buildings in Winchester, and is also important for its association with the Gardner family, who were early settlers of the area. The main block is five bays wide and only one room deep, with a large central chimney. The front entry is framed by half-length sidelight windows and pilasters supporting an entablature. The interior has retained much of its original woodwork and finish. The house was purchased in 1931 by F. Patterson Smith, a Harvard-educated architect who later became dean of the Harvard Graduate School of Design, and restored. His work included the removal of a 19th-century shoe-shop wing , and converted the barn  to a Shingle-style residence.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>Winnona Park is a historic neighborhood in the southeast corner of the Atlanta, Georgia suburb of Decatur. It is listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places,</p><br>
<p>but it is not one of the City of Decatur&#39;s locally designated historic districts.</p><br>
<p>Winnona Park is located south of downtown Decatur; west of the Village of Avondale Estates, Georgia and the Forest Hills subdivision; and east of Decatur&#39;s Oakhurst community. It primarily consists of residences, but is also known as the home of Columbia Theological Seminary. Its rough boundaries are Mimosa Drive and the Decatur city limits on the south; East College Avenue and the railroad tracks on the north; South Candler Street on the west; and South Columbia Avenue on the east. In addition, the commercial buildings on the east side of South Columbia Ave. at East College Ave. have historically been part of this community. This commercial cluster historically housed the neighborhood pharmacy, gas station and barbershop.</p><br>
<p>The early families of Winnona Park also have historic links to Agnes Scott College, which adjoins Winnona Park on the northeast. However, the South Candler Street—Agnes Scott College Historic District is listed separately on the National Register of Historic Places. The City of Decatur has also designated South Candler Street - Agnes Scott College as a local historic district. Bounded by East College Ave., South McDonough St, South Candler St., East Hill St. and East Davis St., it is no longer considered part of Winnona Park.</p><br>
<p>In addition, the Forrest Hills community east of South Columbia Avenue is located in unincorporated DeKalb County, and is not considered part of Winnona Park. However, the City of Decatur announced in 2008 that they were considering the annexation of Forrest Hills.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Winnona Park contained farms and estates in the 19th century. “Winnona” is named for the Winn family, who came to DeKalb County, Georgia in the first half of the 19th Century. James J. Winn was a clergyman and a surgeon in the C.S.A. His son-in-law, George Bucher Scott, began the development of Winnona Park. The 1868 farmhouse of another early settler, James C. Avary, still remains on South Columbia Drive. The "Avary-Fulton House", named after the Avary and Fulton families (that constructed and later purchased the home, respectively), was part of a farm that listed 19 slaves in the 1860 census.</p><br>
<p>During the USA Civil War, Union troops first occupied Decatur in July 1864. An 1864 map of Decatur shows Union trenches along East College Avenue, from South Columbia to Adams Street, just south of the railroad tracks. This gave the Union troops strategic control of the rail line. The Union troops, under General Schofield, were driven north through Decatur to the cemetery by Confederate troops under General Wheeler. However, the city fell to the Union again shortly before the Battle of Atlanta.</p><br>
<p>The North Georgia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, purchased a small farm on the east side of South Columbia Drive in 1873 and relocated from Norcross, Georgia. By the start of the 20th century, 125 boys and girls lived at the "Decatur Orphans Home" (as it was then known). The campus is presently known as the "United Methodist Childrens Home".</p><br>
<p>The development of Winnona Park as a residential area began in the early 20th century. George B. Scott, a member of the Scott family that founded Agnes Scott College and Scottdale Mills, purchased the property from Dr. James Avary and began developing it.</p><br>
<p>The earliest business district began at East College and South Candler.", In 1913, Joseph Hughey operated a drug store, which was across the railroad tracks from Decatur’s train depot. (This location now houses Farmstead 303.) In 1923, the Winnona Park Elementary School was constructed; the original school building is still used by the City of Decatur Schools and is the centerpiece of the community.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Winnona Park is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its late 19th- and early 20th-century American Movement buildings. It contains numerous architectural styles, including craftsman bungalows, Georgian Revival and English Country. Prominent architect Leila Ross Wilburn designed homes on Avery Street. Notable residences include:</p><br>
<p>Agnes Lee Chapter House, United Daughters of the Confederacy, 120 Avery St. Built as a residence by Wilson Gosnell in the Colonial Revival style, this house is on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Avary-Fulton House, South Columbia Drive. Constructed in 1868, this is reportedly the oldest house in Decatur, Georgia.</p><br>
<h2>Churches</h2><br>
<p>Winnona Park religious congregations include:</p><br>
<p>All Souls Fellowship, 647 East College Ave. PCA-affiliated church located in East Decatur Station.</p><br>
<p>Columbia Presbyterian Church, 711 South Columbia Dr. PCUSA-affiliated church located on the campus of Columbia Theological Seminary; membership is open to the public.</p><br>
<p>Julie Thompson Smith Chapel, Agnes Scott College. This chapel conducts on-campus services for students, faculty and campus visitors of Agnes Scott College.</p><br>
<h2>Parks</h2><br>
<p>Winnona Park Elementary School playground, 510 Avery St., includes a creekside playground and green space. However, this is school property and not a municipal park.</p><br>
<h2>Transportation</h2><br>
<p>Winnona Park is near major transportation arteries, but has a limited number of roads connecting it to downtown Decatur due to the east-west rail line.</p><br>
<p>DeKalb Avenue/East College Avenue, is the northern boundary of Winnona Park. East College Avenue serves at a primary entry point to the neighborhood from Avondale Estates and Interstate 285. East College is the highest point in the neighborhood and is located on the Eastern Continental Divide.</p><br>
<p>Avondale MARTA rail station, is located northeast of Winnona Park at Sam’s Crossing and East College Avenue.</p><br>
<p>Memorial Drive, is located south of Winnona Park.</p><br>
<p>The Everett Avenue–Sheffield Road Historic District is a historic district encompassing one of the finest residential districts from the turn of the 20th century in Winchester, Massachusetts. The district is roughly triangular in shape, bounded in the north by Bacon Street, on the west by Church Street, Sheffield West, and Sheffield Road, and on the south and heast by the Upper Mystic Lake and Mystic Valley Parkway. It is characterized by winding roads, with relatively large houses on well-proportioned lots. Most of the houses were built between 1890 and 1916, and all exhibit some architectural sophistication. A significant number of properties were designed by either F. Patterson Smith or Dexter Blaikie, two local architects . The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>This residential area was not formally laid out as a subdivision. It was in this area that Massachusetts politician and orator Edward Everett had an estate in the 1850s; it is for him that Everett Avenue is named. The earliest house is at 8 Everett Avenue, built in 1880, in the Colonial Revival style, which predominated in construction until the advent of the 20th century. One of the finest examples of this style is the Smith-designed Chadwick House at 24 Everett Avenue, combining stucco walls with brick trim on the corners and window trim.</p><br>
<p>Houses built in the 20th century tended by be either Neo-Rationalist, Tudor Revival, or Craftsman in their styling. Many houses in this time were designed either by Dexter Blaikie, Phineas Nickerson, or both in partnership. A house Blaikie designed for himself, at 45 Everett Avenue, is a relatively simple example of Tudor Revival styling. A more elaborate example of that style, designed by Blaikie and Nickerson is the Martin House at 23 Sheffield Road. The district includes a total of 129 properties, of which only 20 do not contribute to its significance. These are mostly excluded because they do not meet the normal 50-year cutoff period for historical significance, although a few buildings have been compromised by unsympathetic alterations.</p><br>
<p>The Firth–Glengarry Historic District encompasses a residential area of Winchester, Massachusetts consisting of well-preserved high quality houses built mainly between 1880 and 1900. The district lies between Wildwood Street and Wedge Pond, and includes properties on Pine Street, Glengarry Road, Grassmere Avenue, Dix Street, and Wildwood Street; houses on Curtis Street and Curtis Circle, are excluded from the district. Much of the area was laid out by developer William Firth, and many of its houses were designed by Boston architect Robert Coit. The 13.44 acre district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>Prior to William Firth&#39;s consolidation of land ownership southwest of Wedge Pond in the late 19th century, this area of Winchester was sparsely inhabited. The oldest house in the area is an 1843 Greek Revival structure at 3 Wildwood Street. Two houses were built near Wedge Pond in the 1850s and 1860s, of which the Charles Curtis House (1965, 9-11 Grassmere Avenue) is a particularly fine example of Carpenter Gothic; the Bellows House, built in 1854, is also Gothic Revival in character. In the 1880s and early 1890s three Queen Anne/Stick style houses were built, of which the Langley House (1887) at 10 Pine Street is the most elaborate.</p><br>
<p>After Firth had acquired most of the land in the area, he subdivided into ample house lots, and laid out Glengarry Road and Grassmere Avenue. He hired Robert Coit to design houses which are predominantly Colonial Revival and Medieval Revival (Tudor) in character. Coits designs used shingling to a significant degree, and mixed in features from other popular revival styles. Firths own house at 37 Dix Street, built in 1937, is, however, a relatively straightforward Colonial Revival design, with a gambrel roof and modillioned cornice, and with gable dormers and a full-width front porch supported by Doric columns.</p><br>
<p>The George Brine House is a historic house at 219 Washington Street in Winchester, Massachusetts. Built about 1865, it is a well-preserved example of Second Empire architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The George Brine House stands northeast of downtown Winchester, on the east side of Washington Street, a busy north-south through street, between Eaton and Webster Streets. It is a two story wood frame house, with a third floor under its Second Empire mansard roof. It has a full-width porch with turned balusters and paired pillars, with a projecting central section with decorative brackets. Above the central doorway are a pair of narrow round-arch windows, and the cornice has dentil moulding and paired brackets. There is scroll-cut woodwork surrounding the dormer windows, and all of the main windows have bracketed sills. Two two-story ells extend the building to the rear, and there is a period carriage barn with cupola at the back of the property.</p><br>
<p>The house was built sometime between 1854 and 1870 (estimated 1865 based on style) by Joseph Shattuck, a local builder. He apparently used it as a rental property until selling it to George Brine in 1893. The house typifies development made in the mid-19th century to attract new residents to what was then seen as a fashionable residential area.</p><br>
<p>George Washington Memorial Park is located at the center of Jackson, Wyoming. More generally known as "Town Square", the park is notable for its elk-antler arches at each corner of the park, collected from the nearby National Elk Refuge by Boy Scouts and periodically rebuilt. The square originally existed as an open space in the center of town that was made into a park in 1934. The park center also contains a stone memorial to John Colter.</p><br>
<p>The Town Square originated as an open space in the middle of Jackson where no buildings had yet been built, surrounded by more developed blocks in the sparsely settled street grid of the town. The area was used as a commons area by people and occasionally as a thoroughfare for migrating elk. In 1917 the town graded the surrounding street and obtained title to most of the land, using excess material from the grading to even out depressions in the square&#39;s surface. In 1924 the town undertook further improvements to the area, now called "the little park in the center of the town." The initiative yielded further grading. A few trees were planted, and were then indifferently maintained.</p><br>
<p>With the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of George Washington approaching in 1932, the state of Wyoming cooperated with Congress to prepare memorials throughout the state. The Wyoming plan was to establish a George Washington Memorial Park in as many communities as possible. The Town Square was designated the George Washington Memorial Park for Jackson in 1932. The organizing committee, which included Olaus Murie, raised the requisite $150 in public donations to landscape the park. Plantings were not ready until 1933. However, labor shortages remained a problem, and little work was accomplished. Jackson applied for and received $3092 from the New Deal Civil Works Administration, which allowed the town to organize a land transfer allowing the sole building on the square property, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Hall, to move to another site. Altogether, more than $6000 in CWA funds were expended, just before the CWA was closed down in 1934.</p><br>
<p>In short order the Square became the center of Jackson&#39;s civic life. A memorial to John Colter was placed in the center of the park in 1939. In 1953 the local Rotary Club built an arch of elk antlers at the southwest corner of the park. Arches were erected at the remaining corners in 1966, 1967 and 1969.</p><br>
<p>In 1959 a house originally built by Charles Wort was moved onto the square, becoming known as the "Stage Stop." The move was unpopular and possibly illegal, but the building remained until 1995 when it was given to Wyoming Senator Alan Simpson, whose grandfather had used the building as a law office. A modern replacement was built in its stead. It was not until 1976 that a plaque was placed in the park for the United States Bicentennial naming the park "George Washington Memorial Park." Stone facings were added to the antler arches the same year.</p><br>
