<p>The Old Administrative Area Historic District, also known as Beaver Creek, is the former headquarters area of Grand Teton National Park. The complex of five houses, three warehouses and an administrative building were designed in the National Park Service rustic style between 1934 and 1939 and were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps and the Public Works Administration. As part of the Mission 66 program, the park headquarters were relocated to Moose, Wyoming in the 1960s.</p><br>
<p>The site was planned by Keith Matson of the National Park Service. The houses are oriented so that they enjoy a view of Grand Teton from their front porches. The interiors of the buildings have been substantially remodeled over time to accommodate changing tastes, expectations and functions and are not considered historically significant, while the exteriors remain well preserved and substantially unaltered.</p><br>
<p>The buildings include the park superintendent&#39;s house, five houses with garages, the old park administration building, and three warehouses.</p><br>
<p>The location was the site of the Stewart Ranger Station, which was expanded to become the park headquarters.</p><br>
<p>The Beaver Creek district was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 23, 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Martin Luther Marsh House was built in 1873, and is located at 254 Boulder Street in Nevada City, in the Gold Country of Nevada County, California.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Martin Luther Marsh House&#39;s architecture and engineering were significant during the California Gold Rush period of 1850-1874. The single family home is of Italianate Style-Victorian design. It bears a hip roofed cupola and the windows are arched.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration</h2><br>
<p>Briefly in the 1970s, the Marsh House was the American Victorian Museum, founded by Carol and David Fluke, (owners/funding,) Ruthe Hamm, (owner/funding,) and co-founders David Osborne and Charles Woods.</p><br>
<p>Recent restoration included replacement of the rotting quoins with redwood duplicates, a new roof, rain gutters, and exterior painting in historical colors, including white trim. It&#39;s situated in a park-like setting.</p><br>
<h2>Landmark</h2><br>
<p>On 19 January 1972, the Martin Luther Marsh House was designated a California Point of Historical Interest No. P241.</p><br>
<p>Less than a year later, on 11 April 1973, this Nevada County building was designated as a landmark by the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>St. John&#39;s Episcopal Church and Rectory form a complex of log structures in Jackson, Wyoming. The rectory was built first: in 1911 it was a hostel and community center under the supervision of Episcopal Bishop Nathaniel Thomas. Church services were held there until 1916, when the church was built. The church and hostel are among the largest log structures in Jackson Hole.</p><br>
<p>The rectory was the first location in Jackson to hold regular Episcopal services, beginning in 1911. Services had been held intermittently since 1908. With the construction of the new church in 1916 the rectory was used as a hostel so that ranchers and lodgers at dude ranches more than a day&#39;s travel distant could stay overnight. The rectory was also used as a meeting place and social hall, and eventually as a community library with over 1000 volumes. The rectory is a 1-1/2 story building, featuring carefully built log dormers.</p><br>
<p>The 1916 church was built by Butch and Ed Robinson of Jackson, using logs cut and cured by George and Clarence Blain, with finish work by master carpenter Raul A. Imeson. The church and rectory were designed using the locally prevailing rustic style that was becoming popular for dude ranches and park structures. The church measures approximately 60 ft by 24 ft, covered with an open log-trussed roof.</p><br>
<p>The site also includes a 1950s rectory and a frame parish hall, both considered non-contributing structures.</p><br>
<p>St. Johns Church operates the Chapel of the Transfiguration in Grand Teton National Park. The church was instrumental in organizing the hospital in Jackson, now named St. Johns Medical Center.</p><br>
<p>The Chapel of the Transfiguration is a small log chapel in Grand Teton National Park, in the community of Moose. The chapel was sited and built to frame a view of the Cathedral Group of peaks in a large window behind the altar. The chapel, which was built in 1925, is owned and operated by St. John&#39;s Episcopal Church in Jackson.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The chapel complex is composed of the chapel itself, an entrance canopy that incorporates a small bell tower, and a storage shed. The chapel and accessory buildings were designed by C.B. Loomis in a rustic style, also called Western Craftsman. The entrance canopy aligns the approach on the desired axis to the Cathedral Group and provides shelter to the chain-operated bell. Access to the chapel is by boardwalk, leading to a beveled plank door with decorative ironwork. The 22 ft by 50 ft T-shaped chapel has exposed log interior walls with stained glass windows on either side. Behind the altar on the chapel&#39;s axis, a picture window that would be anachronistic in another setting frames a spectacular view that substitutes for a stained glass composition. A sacristy stands to one side.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The chapel was built to serve guests and employees of the dude ranches that stretched north of Jackson along the base of the Teton Range. The land was donated by Maud Noble, owner of nearby Menors Ferry, predating the establishment of Grand Teton National Park in 1929 and its expansion into the Moose area in 1950. The design was based on Our Fathers House in Ethete on the Wind River Indian Reservation. Construction materials, labor and funds were provided by local ranchers.</p><br>
<p>It played a primary role in the movie "Spencer’s Mountain", which was filmed in Jackson Hole in 1963, and featured Henry Fonda and Maureen O’Hara.</p><br>
<p>The chapel was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 10, 1980</p><br>
<p>The Cunningham Cabin is a double-pen log cabin in Grand Teton National Park. The cabin was built as a homestead in Jackson Hole and represents an adaptation of an Appalachian building form to the West. The cabin was built just south of Spread Creek by John Pierce Cunningham, who arrived in Jackson Hole in 1885 and subsisted as a trapper until he established the Bar Flying U Ranch in 1888. The Cunninghams left the valley for Idaho in 1928, when land was being acquired for the future Grand Teton National Park.</p><br>
<p>Cunningham and his wife grew about 100 acre of hay, later irrigating another 140 acre to provide feed for 100 cattle and eight horses. His brother, W. Pierce Cunningham, settled his family nearby. By 1924 the Cunningham ranch comprised 560 acre. By 1926 Cunningham had moved out of cattle and was raising sheep on the land.</p><br>
<p>J. Pierce Cunningham was one of the original county commissioners chosen when Teton County was organized in 1923. He was also, at various times, justice of the peace, postmaster and game warden.</p><br>
<p>After 1895 the Cunninghams, who had built a more commodious house, used the cabin as a barn or a smithy. A small fortification was erected in 1895 during unrest involving the Bannack Indians. Traces of foundations survive.</p><br>
<h2>Gunfight at the Bar Flying U Ranch</h2><br>
<p>Gunfight at the Bar Flying U RanchTwo Montana wranglers approached Cunningham in the fall of 1892 to purchase hay. Cunningham allowed the strangers to winter on his ranch. Rumors spread that the men were horse thieves. Next spring, a man claiming to be a USA Marshal, with three deputies, rode into Jackson from Idaho. Joined by Jackson recruits, the marshal’s men surrounded the ranch at night. In the morning, the posse gunned down the alleged thieves. The men’s guilt, the allegations, and the marshal’s identity were never confirmed.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The cabin is a sod-roofed double-pen or dog-trot style building with a room on either side of the central breezeway or "dog-trot." The form is Appalachian in origin.</p><br>
<p>The Golden Gate Range is a mountain range in northwest Lincoln, and eastern Nye counties Nevada. The range trends north-northeast between the Garden Valley to the west and the Coal Valley to the east. The southern end of the range in Lincoln County contains the highest peaks whereas the northern portion exists as a broken string of lower hills separated by water gaps. The northeast end of the range is bounded by the White River Valley to the east. The Worthington Mountains, the Quinn Canyon Range and the Grant Range lie to the west and northwest with the Seaman Range to the east and Timpahute Range and Mount Irish Range to the south.</p><br>
<p>The Golden Gate Range is within the Basin and Range National Monument designated by President Barack Obama in 2015.</p><br>
<p>Walchensee or Lake Walchen is one of the deepest and largest alpine lakes in Germany, with a maximum depth of 192.3 m and an area of 16.4 km&sup2;. The lake is 75 km south of Munich in the middle of the Bavarian Alps. The entire lake, including the island of Sassau, is within the municipality of Kochel. To the east and the south, the lake borders the municipality of Jachenau.</p><br>
<h2>Etymology</h2><br>
<p>The name Walchen comes from Middle High German and means "strangers". All Roman and romanized peoples of the Alps south of Bavaria were known to the locals as Welsche or even Walche. This is also true of the etymology of the Swiss Lake Walen and the Salzburg Wallersee.</p><br>
<p>Another possible interpretation is that it comes from the Latin Lacus vallensis, meaning "lake in a valley". On 16th-century maps, the lake is also labelled dicto Italico, meaning "leading to Italy", probably because the route through the Walchensee valley led through Mittenwald and Innsbruck to Italy.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<h3>Genesis</h3><br>
<p>Walchensee fills a tectonic valley, part of the Bayerisches Synklinorium (Bavarian Syncline) and from rocks of the triassic period (the main dolomite, Plattenkalke, and Kössener layers). The extreme depth of the lake, 192.3 m, is the result of this tectonic formation. The rock faces of the northwestern shore clearly show the steep arrangement of the rock layers. The creation of the lake from the forces of mountain building indicate that Walchensee could be one of the oldest lakes in Germany. During the ice age, the Isar–Loisach glacier repeatedly left its mark on the morphology of the area and thereby the Walchensee.</p><br>
<h3>Location and surrounding communities</h3><br>
<p>The mountain lake has a shoreline of approximately 27 km and contains 1.3 km3 of water. The Jachen is the natural outflow of the lake, eastwards through the valley of Jachenau to the Isar. Obernach is the largest natural inflow to the lake, which flows in from the southwest. Together with the artificial inflow (see "Peculiarities"), the lake has a catchment basin of 780 km&sup2;.</p><br>
<p>Walchensee lies at 802 m above sea level. It is surrounded by wooded mountains. To the northwest stands the Herzogstand–Heimgarten group at 1,731 m and 1,790 m respectively and to the west is the valley of the Eschenlaine. The south side of the Eschenlaine valley is the Simetsberg (1,836 m), which is the end of the Ester Mountains. To the south of the lake, the Altlacher Hochkopf separates Walchensee from the valley of the Isar. On the eastern shore lies the Jachenau, a long alpine valley that stretches in the direction of Lenggries. The northeast is dominated by the Benediktenwand. A little further to the west is Jochberg (1,565 m), which completes the valley wall. Between Herzogstand and Jochberg is little Kesselberg, which because of its relatively low prominence appears as a depression between the two higher peaks, but actually separates Walchensee from Kochelsee, 200 m below.</p><br>
<p>Directly on the west bank of the lake is the tiny Luftkurort settlement of Walchensee, with only about 600 inhabitants. Walchensee belongs to the municipality of Kochel as do the yet smaller settlements of Urfeld at the northern tip of the lake, Zwergen on the western shore, and the houses of Einsiedl am Walchensee on the orographic left bank of the Obernach at the far southwestern end of the lake. The houses of Einsiedl am Walchensee on the right bank of the Obernach and Altlach on the southern shore, the farmsteads of Matheis, Christopher, and Breitort, Sachenbach on the east shore, and Niedernach in the far southwest, belong to the municipality of Jachenau. Between the settlements of Walchensee and Einsiedl, the 1.4 km&sup2; Katzenkopf peninsula reaches 2 km into the lake. The settlement of Zwergen lies on this peninsula.</p><br>
<p>The surface of the lake forms a north-facing triangle, with the southern shore forming a 6.9 km base from Einsiedl to Niedernach and the height reaching 5 km from Breitort to Urfeld.</p><br>
<h3>Climate</h3><br>
<p>Due to its location in a valley, the lake is protected from northern and eastern winds. The relatively low mountains on the south shore let in the optimal amount of sunlight, giving Walchensee a milder climate than one might expect in the mountains. During the summer months, heat on southern side of Herzogstand and Jochberg create strong thermals on sunny days. Stable thermal winds blow generally southwest. When the thermals carry saturated air masses from the Walchensee high into the air and mix with air from the more northerly Kochelsee by a prevailing wind from the northwest, it can lead to particularly violent thunderstorms.</p><br>
<p>In contrast to a Foehn, when a Katabatic wind blows from south to north, the associated dry air ensures excellent visibility.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Since prehistoric times the local population has probably felt a close association with the lake; for example until the 18th century it was customary to throw consecrated gold coins into the deepest part of the lake.</p><br>
<p>The wealth of fish in the lake led the monasteries of Benediktbeuern Abbey and Schlehdorf Abbey to claim Walchensee by 740 AD. The monasteries owned the lake until secularization in 1803. The abbey at Benediktbeuern had more rights than Schlehdorf. Today the free state of Bavaria owns Walchensee.</p><br>
<p>In Munich around 1900, the idea of using the 200 m drop between Walchensee and Kochelsee to generate power was born. Dives to survey the lake bottom were already under way by 1903. The driving force behind this venture was Oskar von Miller, who founded the Deutsches Museum in 1903. The approval process dragged on until 1918. Construction work began immediately after World War I. On 24 January 1924 water from Walchensee turned the turbines at the Walchensee Hydroelectric Power Station on the shore of the Kochelsee for the first time.</p><br>
<p>During World War II at least two aircraft ditched and sank into the lake. In April 1945 the Wehrmacht and officials of the Reichsbank approved a plan to store at least part of the reserves of the German Reichsbank at Einsiedl, a small hamlet on the south-west shore. Subsequently, the assets were buried in an undisclosed location in the crags above the Obernach power-plant. The assets consisted of 365 sacks, each with two gold bars, nine envelopes with gold documents, four crates of gold, two bags of gold coins, six boxes of Danish coins, and 94 sacks of foreign currency. The foreign currency was mainly USA dollars and Swiss francs. On 6 June 1945, the treasure was handed over to the Allies. 100 gold bars and all the USA dollars and Swiss francs were missing. Possibly there are other hoards, where valuables such as other currencies or gemstones were hidden. Even today, speculation continues about the existence and exact location of such caches.</p><br>
<p>Since the 1950s, Walchensee has become a popular destination for day trips from Munich and other upper Bavarian cities as well as for tourists. The local population now lives primarily from tourism.</p><br>
<h2>Biology</h2><br>
<h3>Ecology</h3><br>
<p>The clear waters with an average visibility of 8–10 m owes its turquoise-green color to the relatively high proportion of calcium carbonate. The waters of Walchensee rate as water quality class 1 under the saprobic system. The temperature of the water is relatively low, which is typical for a mountain lake. In summer the water temperature ranges from 17 &deg;C to 20 &deg;C and from 10 &deg;C to 16 &deg;C in the spring and fall. The nutrient load on the originally oligotrophic Walchensee has declined since the mid-1980s, due to improvements in sanitation in Mittenwald.</p><br>
<p>The Walchensee including its shores is a Lanschaftsschutzgebiet landscape protection area. Of the 7 km south shore, 2.5 km are set aside for recreational purposes, such as bathing. The rest of the shore drops steeply for the most part. The western lakeshore is undeveloped, with a few exceptions.</p><br>
<p>The island of Sassau (2.9 hectare) is a nature reserve and is off limits all year round. The island is 367 m long and 93 m wide in the west. In the east it is only half as wide. Its highest point is 12 m above the surface of the lake.</p><br>
<h3>Flora and fauna</h3><br>
<p>More than 500 years ago, the first fish species was introduced into the lake. In 1480 Coregonus were introduced from Kochelsee, followed by char from Tegernsee. The lake environment can be divided into three zones: shore, bottom, and open water. The following table lists the fish that can be found in these zones.</p><br>
<p>More than 50% of the fish that live here are threatened or at least endangered in Bavaria or in this stock, such as the Wels catfish or Rutilus meidingerii. The Swan mussel is also on the red list of endangered plant and animals.</p><br>
<p>In 2003, Upper Bavaria began a project to stock Walchensee again with European crayfish Astacus astacus. For this purpose, 1900 crayfish were captured in Eibsee, west of Garmish-Partenkirchen. However, success of the resettlement can only be declared once five years have passed.</p><br>
<p>For many bird species, the lake and the island Sassau offer excellent breeding opportunities. For migrating birds, it offers a safe winter quarters or resting place for further migration. In addition to red-necked and black-necked grebes, mallards, and Eurasian coots, one can find common mergansers and great northern divers here.</p><br>
<p>Near the shore in many inlets, Ranunculus fluitans and Myriophyllum spicatum grow just below the surface. The vegetable plankton diatoms and green algae together with the animal plantons water fleas (Cyclops sp.) and occur in virtually all areas on the lake. Also in the shore zone grow native Phragmites and Schoenoplectus. Nymphaea alba and Nuphar lutea offer reliable shelter to more than just the grass snake.</p><br>
<h2>Tourism</h2><br>
<p>Like other large lakes, such as Tegernsee, Walchensee plays a major role is tourism for the region. Enthusiasts of windsurfing and sailing take advantage of the continuous thermal winds of the summer months. Creation of thermals is encouraged by winds from the East or North and by the relatively large day and night temperatures. The clear waters with visibility of up to 40 m and a whole series of car, boat, and even aircraft wrecks make the lake particularly interesting for scuba divers. In addition to the usual activities, such as swimming and hiking, those seeking recreation in the winter months can hike and cross country ski in the surrounding mountains.</p><br>
<p>The Herzogstandbahn, a gondola lift, runs from Spring to Fall from Walchensee up the Fahrenberg. From there one can walk past the Herzogstandhaus to the top of the Herzogstand in 30–45 minutes.</p><br>
<h2>Points of interest</h2><br>
<h3>Walchensee Power Station</h3><br>
<p>In 1924, Bayernwerk AG put the Lake Walchen Power Plant into operation on the south shore of Kochelsee. Six pipes carry water from Walchensee 200 m down the mountain to the hydroelectric plant. In order to increase the amount of water available for the plant, a 7-km long tunnel was driven in the Karwendel to tap the Rißbach and Isar rivers, feeding Walchensee. Overall, Walchensee has an average volume of 1.3 billion cubic meters. Two smaller hydroelectric plants were built directly on Walchensee: one at the mouth of the Niedernach in the southeast and one on the Obernach in the southwest.</p><br>
<p>Large amounts of water are only taken from lake during winter months so as not to disturb the tourist industry during the peak season. Because of the large fluctuations in water level during the winter, the lake no longer freezes.</p><br>
<p>Maximum water level 802 m above sea level</p><br>
<p>Nominal water level 801.5 m above sea level</p><br>
<p>Minimum water level 795 m above sea level</p><br>
<p>The ice that does form in the individual bays is very thin and is off limits.</p><br>
<h3>Wrecks</h3><br>
<p>On the lakebottom is a series of wrecks, including three aircraft. From World War II there is a Messerschmitt Bf 109 and a British Avro Lancaster bomber. Among the debris the remains of an Aero Commander 680W was found. The high-wing twin-engine plane with the markings D-ID MON crashed into the lake on 27 December 1978 after its tail broke off. The plane crashed in shallow water and was immediately salvaged along with its crew.</p><br>
<p>The wrecks of two cars near the shore, a Volkswagen Beetle and a Ford, are also popular for divers to explore.</p><br>
<h3>Landscape painting</h3><br>
<p>In 1934, the painter Lorenzo Quaglio the Younger immortalized Walchensee in an oil painting titled simply Der Walchensee. The painting hangs today in the Munich City Museum.</p><br>
<p>After World War I, the artist Lovis Corinth bought a house in Urfeld. From 1919 until the end of his life in 1925, the Impressionist spent his summer months along with his wife at the lake. His success as a landscape painter rests on the work he did with Walchensee as a subject. He did more than 60 of these paintings.</p><br>
<p>Lake Milada , also known as Chabařovické jezero, is a reservoir in the Czech Republic. It originated from excavation by an old coal mine and flooded former villages, Hrbovice, Tuchomyšl and Vyklice. The lakes surface area stretchs 250 ha, which makes it slightly smaller than nearby Lake Mácha. Its average depth is 15.5 meters and its maximum depth is 22 m. The capacity is approximately 35 mil. m.</p><br>
<h2>Water mode</h2><br>
<p>In 1998, the mining of brown coal in Chabařovice ceased and the quarry was closed. Recultivation work started subsequently. The former Chabařovice quarry was the first of large surface mines within the Czech Republic in which redevelopment and reclamation works, after termination of mining, came to the stage when the remnant den was filled with water. It became a model for other localities.</p><br>
<p>The watering has been in progress since 15 June 2001. The reservoir is the second largest reclaimed lake within northern Czech Republic. The recultivation is based on the hydric system, concretely the watering. The maximum watering speed is 700 l/s and is processed by a water relief from the Kateřina reservoir. At the present time some land is being prepared for investment and the area is being opened to the public. Mild local climate change is expected in the direct surroundings following the creation of the lake, such as an increase in fogs, less dustiness and temperature stabilization.</p><br>
<p>The water quality is one of the key criteria, which is monitored and will be helpful for projection of the hydric recultivation in another region.</p><br>
<h2>Utilization</h2><br>
<p>The lake will be partly used for recreational purposes.</p><br>
<p>In 2006 originated the Association of five communes called Jezero Milada (Lake Milada). These five communes are Ústí nad Labem, Chabařovice, Trmice, Řehlovice and Modlany. The financial resources of the Association and the municipality Ústí nad Labem were used on setting out the Cycling path 3009. Cycling path with marking 3009 was opened in 2006 and it goes through the territory of outside dump of the mine with line up to Habří and Řehlovice. In Chabařovice it connects the already built cycling path KČT (Club of Czech Tourists) with the same marking, then it goes around lake, diverges across paths in the area and finally it leads to Stadice. Here it lines-up cycling path of Přemysl Oráč (no. 3071), which leads to Trmice or the other direction to Úpořiny.</p><br>
<p>Future utilization as recreational and sporting area – bathing, swimming, fishing, sailing, bike route, roller skating, jogging, horse riding etc.</p><br>

<p>Cerro Marahuaca, also spelled Marahuaka, is a tepui in Amazonas state, Venezuela. It has an elevation of 2,832 m above sea level Cerro Marahuaca shares a common base with the much larger Cerro Duida and together they form the Duida–Marahuaca Massif. Both tepuis are located entirely within the bounds of Duida–Marahuaca National Park.</p><br>
<p>Cerro Marahuaca actually consists of two summit plateaus, the slightly larger northern one going by the Yekwana Amerindian name Fufha or Huha (03&deg;46&prime;52&Prime;N latitude, 65&deg;29&prime;31&Prime;W longitude). The southern plateau (03&deg;39&prime;04&Prime;N latitude, 65&deg;25&prime;01&Prime;W longitude) is known by two local names; its northwestern edge is called Fuif or Fhuif, whereas its southeastern portion is called Atahua&#39;shiho or Atawa Shisho. A massive ridge known as Cerro Petaca rises to at least 2,700 m just west of these two plateaus.</p><br>
<p>Cerro Marahuaca has a total summit area of 121 km&sup2; and an estimated slope area of 325 km&sup2;.</p><br>
<h2>Flora and fauna</h2><br>
<p>Several frog species are only known from the summit of Cerro Marahuaca, including Pristimantis marahuaka, Metaphryniscus sosai, and Myersiohyla inparquesi.</p><br>
<p>Mormon Row is a line of homestead complexes along the Jackson-Moran Road near the southeast corner of Grand Teton National Park, in the valley called Jackson Hole. The rural historic landscape&#39;s period of significance includes the construction of the Andy Chambers, T.A. Moulton and John Moulton farms from 1908 to the 1950s. Six building clusters and a separate ruin illustrate Mormon settlement in the area and comprise such features as drainage systems, barns, fields and corrals. Apart from John and T.A. Moulton, other settlers in the area were Joseph Eggleston, Albert Gunther, Henry May, Thomas Murphy and George Riniker.</p><br>
<p>The area is also known as Antelope Flats, situated between the towns of Moose and Kelly. It is a popular destination for tourists and photographers on account of the historic buildings, the herds of bison, and the spectacular Teton Range rising in the background. The alluvial soil to the east of Blacktail Butte was more suitable than most locations in Jackson Hole for farming, somewhat hampered by a lack of readily available water.</p><br>
<p>Mormon Row was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>Menors Ferry was a river ferry that crossed the Snake River near the present-day Moose, Wyoming, United States. The site was homesteaded by Bill Menor in 1892-94, choosing a location where the river flowed in a single channel, rather than the braided stream that characterizes its course in most of Jackson Hole. During the 1890s it was the only homestead west of the river. Menors homestead included a five-room cabin, a barn, a store, sheds and an icehouse on 148 acre, irrigated by a ditch from Cottonwood Creek and at times supplemented by water raised from the Snake River by a waterwheel. Menor operated the ferry until 1918, selling to Maude Noble, who continued operations until 1927, when a bridge was built at Moose.</p><br>
<h2>Menor cabin and store</h2><br>
<p>The Menor house and store are unusual in their application of classical forms to rustic log construction, an effect heightened by the whitewashed walls of the buildings. Menor made his own whitewash using materials from a lime pit on his brother Holiday Menor&#39;s property on the other side of the river. The Menor cabin has three rooms, built individually over a period of time, with a bedroom on the west, a store on the east, and a kitchen and storage room connecting them. The Menor cabin was the point of departure for the first ascent of Grand Teton on August 11, 1898, and it hosted the celebratory party that evening.</p><br>
<p>The Menor brothers were originally from Ohio. Holiday joined Bill in Jackson Hole in 1905, but the brothers did not speak for two years. Bill moved to California after selling to Noble. Holiday, eleven years younger, joined him about 1927.</p><br>
<h2>Noble Cabin</h2><br>
<p>The property also includes the log Maud Noble Cabin, built in 1916 to the northwest of the present site on Cottonwood Creek and relocated to the ferry site when Noble bought the Menor operation in 1918. Maud Noble was originally from Philadelphia; she arrived in Jackson Hole in 1915 on a visit to the Bar B C Dude Ranch and never left. The cabin is a one-story, three room structure that has been repeatedly renovated. The L-shaped building measures about 40 ft by 16 ft. Noble sold the property to the Snake River Land Company in 1929 after a bridge was built just downstream to replace the ferry. A tea room operated in the cabin about 1927 or 1928, and again in 1950-51.</p><br>
<p>The cabin was the site of a meeting on July 23, 1923, where Yellowstone National Park superintendent and future National Park Service director Horace Albright met with local ranchers and businessmen, starting the process of creating Grand Teton National Park. Local attendees were Richard Winger, J. R. Jones, J. L. Enyon, and the Bar B C&#39;s Struthers Burt and Horace Carncross. Noble provided the discreet premises, but did not attend herself.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration</h2><br>
<p>The property was bought in 1929 by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who restored the structures and the ferry and donated the property to the National Park Service in 1953. The Park Service has also restored Menor&#39;s well. The ferry district was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 16, 1969.</p><br>
<p>The Capitol Park Historic District is a historic district located in downtown Detroit, Michigan. It is roughly bounded by Grand River, Woodward and Michigan Avenues, and Washington Boulevard. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Capitol Park itself is a triangular plot of land (now a public park) bounded by Shelby Street, Griswold Street, and State Street. The plot is an artifact of Augustus Woodward&#39;s 1805 plan for the city of Detroit. The Historic District includes the park and seventeen surrounding buildings for a block in each direction. Buildings within the district include the Farwell Building, the Griswold Building, the David Stott Building, the Detroit Savings Bank Building and the Industrial Building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1823, the population of Detroit had increased to the point that the US Congress transferred governance of what was then the Territory of Michigan to the governor and legislative council. To house the new government, a courthouse was built in Capitol Park in 1823-28. When Michigan became a state in 1837, the building became the state capitol, and functioned so until 1847 when the governmental seat was moved to Lansing. The building was then used as a public high school until 1893, when it was destroyed by fire. The land was then converted to a park, and it has remained a public space up to the present.</p><br>
<p>The buildings within the Historic District surrounding the park were built primarily during the first three decades of the 20th century for commercial and business purposes. Several famous architects, including Albert Kahn and Gordon W. Lloyd, contributed buildings in a range of styles, from Victorian to Beaux-Arts to Art Deco. The buildings demonstrate the transformation of Detroit from a prospering 19th century commercial center to a modern city.</p><br>
<p>In addition to the present buildings, Capitol Park has a historic connection to the Underground Railroad. In 1850, Seymour Finney purchased a plot of land near the park and erected a tavern with a large barn. Finney was strongly sympathetic to the abolitionist cause, and used his barn to hide escaping slaves before their final trek across the river into Canada. A State of Michigan historical marker has been erected in the park to commemorate Finney&#39;s Barn.</p><br>
<p>In 1905, the remains of Michigan&#39;s first governor Stevens T. Mason were transferred from New York City where he died 1843 and interred in Capitol Park in a ceremony attended by sitting governor Fred M. Warner and mayor George P. Codd among other officials. A statue of Mason by sculptor Albert Weinert was later erected over the grave. When plans were announced in 2009 to reconfigure the park, they included relocating the monument and grave. However, the burial vault was not where earlier plans indicated and crews searched for four days before it was located on June 29, 2010. It was believed the grave was moved from its 1905 location in 1955 to make room for a bus terminal. On the 199th anniversary of his birth, October 27, 2010, Mason was reburied for 4th time in a newly built vault in the pedestal the bronze statue. The current Dean of the Cathedral Church of St. Paul, where funeral services were held for Mason in 1843, officiated at the ceremony.</p><br>
<h2>Transit hub & redevelopment</h2><br>
<p>The park has also served as a major downtown transit center. Two years after the destruction of the state capitol by fire, multiple streetcar lines were looped around the new park with large boarding platforms constructed on Griswold and Shelby streets, transforming it into a major transfer station. In 1955, the Department of Street Railways (DSR) constructed the $280,000 Capitol Park Bus Terminal at the north end of the park which facilitated the moving of Stevens T. Mason&#39;s tomb to the south end of the park. The new facility was constructed using steel and reinforced concrete, with plastic skylights throughout the concrete canopy. Not long after the restructuring of the DSR as the Detroit Department of Transportation (DDOT), the station was demolished in 1979, though the area around the park continued to be used as a major bus terminal.</p><br>
<p>In 2001, the area was named as the Capitol Park Transit Center, and was used as a temporary terminal until the completion of the Rosa Parks Transit Center.</p><br>
<p>The Highlands Historic District in Grand Teton National Park is a former private inholding within the park boundary. The inholding began as a 1914 homestead belonging to Harry and Elizabeth Sensenbach, who began in the 1920s to supplement their income by catering to automobile-borne tourists. In 1946 the property was purchased by Charles Byron, Jeanne Jenkins and Gloria Jenkins Wardell, who expanded the accommodations by one or two cabins a year in a U-shaped layout around a central lodge. The lodge and cabins are constructed in a rustic log style, considered compatible with park architecture. The Highlands was neither an auto camp, which encouraged short stays, nor a dude ranch, which provided ranch-style activities. The Highlands encouraged stays of moderate length, providing a variety of relatively sedentary amenities.</p><br>
<p>The National Park Service acquired the property in 1972 and uses it to house seasonal employees. The acquisition allowed the Park Service to demolish most of the nearby Mages Ranch - Elbo Ranch property. The Highlands was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 19, 1998.</p><br>
<p>The 4 Lazy F Ranch, also known as the Sun Star Ranch, is a dude ranch and summer residence in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, built by the William Frew family of Pittsburgh in 1927. The existing property was built as a family retreat, not as a cattle ranch, in a rustic style of construction using logs and board-and-batten techniques. The historic district includes seven cabins, a lodge, barn corral and smaller buildings on the west bank of the Snake River north of Moose, Wyoming. The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The ranch was first improved by Philadelphian Bryant Mears in 1914, building two log cabins, a small barn, corrals, fencing, a well and a ditch. Mears lived on the 18 acre property, which he called the Sun Star Ranch, during the winter of 1915, and in 1916 he raised oats, barley and hay. The following year he married, then left to join the Army from 1917 to 1919. In 1927 the ranch was sold by Edward Mears to William Frew.</p><br>
<p>Frew was a wealthy dude from Pittsburgh, who renamed the ranch the 4 Lazy F for the "Four Lazy Frews". The family allowed paying guests by invitation only, operating the ranch as both a family retreat and a dude ranch.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The ranch consists of seven cabins, a lodge-dining hall and a laundry-utility building, as well as a barn, garages, sheds and a corral. The ranch is sited on the west bank of the Snake River. All buildings are in the style known as "dude ranch vernacular", characterized by log construction and board-and-batten infill. Logs are generally varnished brown, but roofs are red or green asphalt roll roofing. Cabins are largely original construction with newer toilet additions to the rear. Interiors are intact with exposed logs in the walls and floors.</p><br>
<p>The property is an inholding in Grand Teton National Park. The property was sold as a life estate by Emily Frew Oliver to the National Park Service. The 4 Lazy F was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 23, 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Murie Residence was the home of naturalists and conservationists Olaus and Mardie Murie. Located near Moose, Wyoming in the southern end of Grand Teton National Park, the house and adjoining studio are now part of the Murie Ranch Historic District, a National Historic Landmark encompassing the Murie residence and the former STS Ranch, home to Olaus&#39; brother Adolph.</p><br>
<p>The Murie Residence was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 23, 1990,</p><br>
<p>The Murie Residence Today</p><br>
<p>In 1997, the Murie Center was established in partnership with Grand Teton National Park, as a non-profit organization dedicated to stewardship of the Murie Ranch and the continuation of the Murie legacy. In 2001, the Center launched a campaign to restore the buildings and improve the Ranch infrastructure, reawakening the Ranch as the Muries envisioned it, a center for study, discussion and debate on behalf of nature. In 2006, the Murie Ranch was designated a National Historic Landmark, commemorating its national significance to the history of the United States as home to the Murie family and their legacy of conservation.</p><br>
<p>The Death Canyon Barn is a combination barn and ranger patrol cabin in Grand Teton National Park. The barn was built in Death Canyon on the Death Canyon Trail at its junction with the Alaska Basin Trail by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1935 in the National Park Service rustic style. Located with a clear view of Prospector Mountain, it shares a common style and purpose with the Cascade Canyon Barn to the north in the park, with minor differences attributable to available materials and the preferences of the work crews building the barns.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The 1½ story log building was designed by the National Park Service Branch of Plans and Design. Built as a barn, it became a patrol cabin in 1945. It was built by workers from CCC Hot Springs Camp #NP-3 or Jenny Lake Camp #NP-4, working out of the Phelps Lake Spike Camp. A proposed cabin to house trail maintenance tools and personnel was never completed, so the barn was converted to that purpose shortly after the CCC was dissolved. In the 1950s it briefly housed a seasonal ranger station.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The rustic log cabin features saddle-notched log corners on a stone foundation. The foundation is buttressed at the corners to support the projecting log ends, a feature typical of Park Service designs of the era. The original wide barn door has been filled in with windows and a personnel door. The interior consists of a large main room with a small tack room in the southwest corner, now used for tool storage. The partition uses vertical poles faced with 4-1/2: wide tongue and groove planks. A loft is framed with logs and 8" rough-cut decking, reached by a milled-lumber stairway. The loft deck is covered with 6" wide flooring planks. The roof structure is open to the underside of the roof, with exposed log trusses.The hayloft was converted to a sleeping loft. The furnishings include a rodent-proof food storage bock and a propane stove. The adjoining corral enclosure is listed as a contributing feature, with standing trees supporting most of the fence enclosure.</p><br>
<p>The Death Canyon Barn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 25, 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Ginn Gardeners House is a historic house at 22 Ginn Road in Winchester, Massachusetts. It is one of two surviving outbuildings  of the extensive "Terrace of Oaks" estate of publisher Edwin Ginn, whose main house was demolished in 1946. The two-story brick gardeners house, built in 1900, shows the high quality of the estate and its Georgian Revival character. Its brickwork is laid in Flemish bond, with a water table and trim elements of marble. The five-bay facade has a center entry, which is sheltered by a square portico, supported by Tuscan columns and topped by a low railing with turned balusters. Above the entry is a shallow gable, below which is a large round-arch window.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The John Mason House is a historic house at 10 Hillside Avenue in Winchester, Massachusetts. This two story wood frame house was built sometime in the 1860s, probably for Joshua Stone, who sold it to John Mason sometime before 1875. Mason was one of the first Boston businessmen to establish a suburban residence in Winchester. The house has a variety of high-style Italianate features, including a characteristic low-pitch hip roof with decorative brackets, and a three-bay front facade in which paired narrow windows are topped by decorative framing. The front entry is sheltered by a portico supported by multiple columns and pilasters, with a bracketed roof.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Joseph Remick House is a historic house at 84 Cambridge Street and 4 Swan Road in Winchester, Massachusetts. The two story stucco-clad house was built in 1909 by Joseph Remick, and is sometimes called the "Baby Sanborn House" for its resemblance to the much larger Sanborn House just down the road. The house has a central five-bay section, which is flanked by wings that are one story in front and two in back. The main section is five bays wide, with French windows on both floors. The center three on the first floor are topped by triangular pediments, while those on the second floor have keystones set just below a Greek key frieze. A balustrade rings the flat roof.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Kenelum Baker House is a historic house at 4 Norwood Street in Winchester, Massachusetts. Built in 1856 by a local master builder, it is a well-preserved example of vernacular Italianate styling. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Kenelum Baker House stands in a residential area southwest of downtown Winchester, on the northeast side of Norwood Street opposite its junction with Lagrange Street. It is a 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, oriented facing southeast, with a side gable roof and clapboarded exterior. Its roof has a shallow pitch and a broad overhanging cornice. The center entry is flanked by rectangular window bays, and is framed by a portico with a projecting gable roof, beneath which are a pair of narrow round-arch windows. The walls of the projection consist of detailed latticework, with Palladian-style round-headed cutouts for the entry and window above. A projecting bay also appears on the side of the house, which faces the street.</p><br>
<p>This small house was built in 1856 by builder Kenelum Baker as his own home. Baker was locally prominent, overseeing construction of the town&#39;s 1857 Adams Street School (since demolished), and the Parker House, a particularly elaborate example of Italianate architecture. Later owners of this house include a local cemetery superintendent, and the first president of the Winchester Electric Light Company.</p><br>
<p>The Marshall Symmes House is a historic house at 230 Main Street in Winchester, Massachusetts. Built c. 1817, it is a rare local example of Federal period brick-end house, and is further notable 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 Marshall Symmes House stands at the southwest corner of Symmes Street and Main Street (Massachusetts Route 38) in southern Winchester. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with a side gable roof, clapboard siding on the front and rear, and brick side walls. The house corner boards are pilastered, and the central front door is framed by sidelight and fanlight windows. It is sheltered by a gabled portico supported by round columns.</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. Marshall Symmes, a grandson who was a blacksmith with a shop that stood near Bacon and Main Streets, built this house about 1817, around the time of his marriage to Relief Stowell. It stands not far from the house of his brother John. Both Marshall and Symmes Streets are named for Marshall Symmes. At the time of its listing on the National Register in 1989, it remained in the hands of Symmes descendants.</p><br>
<p>The Marshall Symmes Tenant House is a historic house at 233 Main Street in Winchester, Massachusetts, USA. Built in the 1870s as a rental property on land owned by Marshall Symmes , this Italianate house is notable for its association with the Symmes family, who were among Winchester&#39;s first settlers. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Marshall Symmes Tenant House is located on the east side of Main Street (Massachusetts Route 38), across the street from the Marshall Symmes House. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, three bays wide, with a side gable roof and clapboard siding. The entrance is centered on the west-facing front facade, sheltered by a hip roof supported by tapered square columns. A two-story polygonal bay projects from the south side, and a two-story ell in the rear joins the house to a carriage barn.</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. Marshall Symmes, a grandson who was a blacksmith with a shop that stood near Bacon and Main Streets, built this house in the 1870s (based on stylistic analysis), apparently as a rental property. It is one of three houses in the area associated with the Symmes family, whose names (including those of relations) are found on nearby Symmes Street, Stowell Street, and Marshall Street.</p><br>
<p>The Mystic Dam  are a historic dam and gatehouse between Lower and Upper Mystic Lakes in the suburbs north of Boston, Massachusetts. The dam was built in 1864-5 by the Charlestown Water Commission  as part of a water supply system. It was located at a narrow point between the Lower and Upper Mystic Lakes, with its west end in Arlington and its east end in Medford. The water system it was a part of eventually merged into the Metropolitan District Commission , predecessor to the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority  and the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation .</p><br>
<p>As built, the dam was over 1,500 ft long and 16 ft high, with most of that length (about 1,000 ft) consisting of earthen embankments lined with riprap and puddle clay. Near its center is a spillway area consisting of a series of square columns constructed of granite blocks and a masonry apron. These columns are grooved on their inner faces to facilitate the installation of stop logs. A wooden walkway with a plank railing ran across the top of the dam. A wooden fish ladder was built, but removed at a later date. A gatehouse on the Medford side was used to connect the upper lake to a brick-lined aqueduct that delivered the water to Charlestown. The lake area impounded by the dam is 186 acre.</p><br>
<p>The dam and gatehouse were each listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. By the early 2000s, the dam was known to not be in very good condition, with failing spillway masonry, erosion, and other damage to the dams stonework. A major storm in 2006 flooded portions of the surrounding area, and highlighted the potential inability of the dam to handle a significant high-water event, leading to catastrophic flooding of downstream areas. Between 2010 and 2012 major work was undertaken to improve the dams condition. A new spillway was constructed to the east of the old spillway, which received a new spillway apron. Work was done on the embankments and the shores near the upper areas of the dam, and a new fish ladder and bridge were built. The historic gatehouse was also rehabilitated, and modern controls were added, enabling improved control over the water levels behind the dam.</p><br>
<p>Oak Knoll is a historic estate house at 17 Brooks Street in Winchester, Massachusetts. This large Queen Anne/Colonial Revival house was built in the early 1890s by Lewis Parkhurst, a partner in the publishing house of Winchester resident Edwin Ginn. Parkhurst&#39;s mansion is the last surviving late 19th-century mansion house in Winchester. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Oak Knoll is set on a large lot at the center of a rough circle formed by Brooks Street and Grove Street in a residential area of southern Winchester. It has a setting at the top of a low hill, whose drama has been reduced somewhat by encroaching development. It is a large 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with asymmetrical massing and busy slate roof typical of the Queen Anne style. The roof is pierced by four brick chimneys with corbelled tops, another Queen Anne hallmark. The main entrance is located on the eastern side in a corner between cross-gable sections, sheltered by a porch with Colonial Revival detailing.</p><br>
<p>The house stands on land that once belonged to the locally prominent Symmes family. The land was purchased in 1891 by Lewis Parkhurst, who served as Winchester High School principal before joining the publishing firm of Edwin Ginn. He was active in civic affairs, representing the town in the state senate, and serving as president of Middlesex National Bank, the town&#39;s first commercial bank. Parkhurst School, built in 1949, was named in his honor.</p><br>
<p>The Robert Bacon House is a historic house at 6 Mystic Valley Parkway in Winchester, Massachusetts. Built about 1830, it is one of the town&#39;s only surviving examples of high-style transitional Federal/Greek Revival styling. It was built for a local businessman whose nearby mills  were major employers of the period. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Robert Bacon House stands in southern Winchester, on the west side of Mystic Valley Parkway near the point where the Aberjona River empties into the Upper Mystic Lake. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a side gable roof and clapboarded front and back. The side walls are built out of brick, rising to a parapet and two end chimneys. Its front facade is five bays wide and symmetrical, with the center entrance sheltered by a portico supported by fluted Doric columns and topped by a balustrade. The entry is framed by sidelight and transom windows with tracery. The interior also retains high quality wood work from its period of construction.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1830 to a design by John Kutts, a prominent Boston-based architect. The house is of particular note because its original architectural drawings survive, as do contractor bills and other documents related to its construction. It was built for Robert Bacon, who had been using the water privilege on the Aberjona River since 1824 for the manufacture of felt hats. He purchased the land on the west side of the river in 1825, and had this house placed with a view toward his mill and worker village. The mills supposedly burned down in 1843, but were rebuilt and leased to other industrial operations by the Bacons. Winchester&#39;s Bacon Street is named for him, and the area of the mill village was known for many years as Baconville.</p><br>
<p>The historic house at 38 Rangeley Road in Winchester, Massachusetts is one of three Panel Brick in an exclusive late 19th century subdivision. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989 as the Samuel Elder House, on the incorrect belief that it was the home of Samuel Elder, a prominent Boston lawyer.</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 Skillings, a lumber businessman from Maine, and developed by him into an exclusive gated development known as Rangeley Park (its wall and pillars that supported a gate are still visible on Church Street, at the northern end of the development). This house was built by Skillings in 1875-76 as a rental property. The house has incorrectly been described as the residence of Samuel J. Elder, one of the founding editors of The Yale Record, the world&#39;s oldest humor magazine. This error occurred because the street number of the house is 38, but the number 38 had earlier been associated with a different house in the Rangeley neighborhood where Samuel Elder lived.</p><br>
<p>The house is set on a sweeping curve of Rangeley Road in the southern part of the Skillings development, opposite Meadowcroft Road. It is a 2-1/2 story brick structure, built in a Ruskinian Gothic style to a design by George Dutton Rand. It is faced in polychrome (red and black) brick, with additional trim elements in brownstone. The main facade is asymmetrical, with the entrance set in a segmented-arch opening. A single-story porch extends across the facade, supported by bracketed posts, with a balustrade with a jigsawn trefoil pattern.</p><br>
<p>The Sanborn House at 15 High Street is one of the few surviving country house models in Winchester, Massachusetts. Nine and one-half acres of property was purchased in 1904 by Oren Sanborn, younger son of James Sanborn, the co-founder of Chase & Sanborn Coffee Company.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Oren Sanborn and his wife Lorena (Rena) had lived in Winchester since 1901. The Sanborn House, designed in the beaux-arts style by architects Clinton M. Hill and Thomas M. James, was erected in 1906/07 at a cost of $250,000.</p><br>
<p>Their new home, which they called Aigremont, with its understated exterior and ornamented interior, set the stage for their role as prominent Winchester citizens. Oren was a member of the Winchester Country Club and the Calumet Social Club. Rena, active in Winchester Society, helped found the Winchester Hospital and led fundraising efforts for the hospital for many years.</p><br>
<p>The family fortune declined in the early 1920s and the house was sold. The Downes family, founders of Downes Lumber of Boston, used it as a family home for the next two decades. Their decision to sell the house and surrounding land to the Religious of Christian Education, an order of nuns, was significant in the ongoing preservation of the house during the years after World War II when so many large homes of the Victorian and Edwardian period were destroyed. The nuns built a grade school, the Marycliff Academy, on what had been the western paddock and used the house as their residence.</p><br>
<p>In 1969, the Town of Winchester purchased the Marycliff Academy and the adjacent Sanborn house. The school became the present Ambrose Elementary School (rebuilt in 2005), and the Sanborn House became home to a variety of occupants, most recently the town Recreation Department. In 1981, the Sanborn House was one of the first properties in Winchester to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Sanborn House was vacated in 2003 to facilitate construction of the new Ambrose School. In 2005 the Massachusetts Historical Commission recognized the Sanborn House as a significant and endangered property, awarding the Winchester Historical Society a Preservation Project Funds grant to begin the planning process for restoring the house.</p><br>
<h2>Sanborn House Historical & Cultural Center</h2><br>
<p>In March 2006 the Winchester Historical Society signed a long term lease for the Sanborn House with the Town of Winchester. The Society took on the stewardship for the restoration of the property and its conversion into the Sanborn House Historical and Cultural Center for the use of the community as well as a home for the Society.</p><br>
<p>In 2010, the Society appointed its first Executive Director of the Sanborn House. The Society now has a</p><br>
<p>Site Manager, in place of an Executive Director, who handles the operations/maintenance of the house along with overseeing event rentals.</p><br>
<p>In 2011, the restoration project of the exterior facade, funded in part by a matching grant from the Massachusetts Historical Commission was started and completed.</p><br>
<p>The Sharon House is a historic house at 403 Main Street in Winchester, Massachusetts. The 2.5 story wood frame house was built c. 1835, and has basic Greek Revival styling. It is most notable as including a rare surviving remnant of the shoe manufacturing industry, which was a cottage industry in the area in the first half of the 19th century. The building&#39;s rear ell, a two story structure, is believed to have originally been used for that purpose. It is not known if it  was built in place or moved to that location and attached to the house. The house also stands adjacent to the site of the Black Horse Tavern, and early 18th century landmark.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Skillings Estate House is a historic house at 37 Rangeley Road in Winchester, Massachusetts. Built about 1880 by a Maine lumber magnate David Skillings, it is one of four houses he built as part of his exclusive Rangeley Estate. 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, at the northern end of the development). This house was built by Skilling, but it is not known for whom he built it. (Skillings&#39; own house, built in the 1870s, has not survived.)</p><br>
<p>This house is located on a broad lot at the corner of Central Street and Rangeley Road. It is 2-1/2 stories in height, and has irregular Queen Anne massing and an asymmetrical facade that has a projecting gable section with decorative shingles. The projection is supported by shingled brackets and arches framing a double sash window. A porch, partially enclosed, extends across the front. The roof gables have Stick style woodwork, and the Central Street facade features a floral brick panel between the floors.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas Ayer House is a historic house at 8 Grove Street in Winchester, Massachusetts. Built about 1864, it is a conservative but detailed example of early Italianate architecture. It was built for a prominent local businessman and politician. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Thomas Ayer House stands in a residential area of southeastern Winchester, on the east side of Grove Street, a feeder road through the neighborhood. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a side gable roof, two interior chimneys, and a clapboarded exterior.

<p>The house was built about 1864 by Thomas Ayer, a local businessman and politician. It was built at a time when Winchester was just beginning to undergo a transition from an agricultural to a residential suburban area. Ayer was prominent in civic affairs, raising funds and materials for the American Civil War effort, and serving on various town committees. He served for two years on the board of selectmen, and served one term in the state legislature. Ayer&#39;s brother Albert, also prominent in local affairs, lived in a house that was originally adjacent to this one on Brooks Street, but has since been separated from it by infill construction.</p><br>
<p>The Webster Childs House is a historic house at 9 Meadowcroft 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.

<p>The Wedgemere Historic District encompasses the largest single 19th-century residential development of Winchester, Massachusetts. It is one of the town&#39;s largest surviving 19th-century residential subdivisions, with a concentration of high-quality residences built between about 1890 and 1920. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Wedgemere Historic District is located west of Winchester&#39;s town center, and just east of Cambridge Street (Massachusetts Route 3), a major north-south artery in the town. It is bounded on the north by Warren Street, on the east by Wildwood and Fletcher Streets, and on the south by Church Street. It is bounded on the west by Cambridge Street, but excludes properties located there. The area is characterized by large houses set back on large grassy lots, with a high level of quality and architectural character. The styles that predominate in its buildings are Queen Anne, Shingle, Colonial Revival, and Tudor Revival. Almost all of the houses were built between 1890 and 1920, with only outbuildings such as garages intruding on the landscape.</p><br>
<p>The subdivision was created by a syndicate established by Frank Forsyth, a local resident, and syndicate of Boston-based investors, who acquired 75 acre of land in 1891. Development was slowed by the Panic of 1893, which resulted in the dissolution of the syndicate. Over the following decades, a variety of houses were built on the land platted out by the syndicate. Early houses in the district were typically Colonial Revival with some Queen Anne styling, such as the Rice House (10 Oxford Street, c. 1893) and the Davis House (6 Calumet Road, c. 1893). By the 1910s the Craftsman style began to come into vogue, with houses like the Nickerson House (25 Calumet, built 1912). One of the most unusual houses in the district is the Spanish Revival Lombard House at 105 Church Street, built in 1908.</p><br>
<p>The Winchester Center Historic District encompasses the commercial and civic heart of Winchester, Massachusetts. It is roughly bounded Mt. Vernon and Washington Streets, Waterfield Road, Church and Main Streets. The district includes a number of Romanesque Revival buildings, including Winchester Town Hall and the Winchester Savings Bank building on Mount Vernon Street. Noted architects who contributed to the district include Robert Coit and Asa Fletcher. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The area that is now Winchester was first settled beginning in the 1640s, and was known as South Woburn. What is now the town center began as the site of a grist mill and bridge on the Aberjona River. The community remained largely agrarian until the Boston and Lowell Railroad was built through the area in 1835. This spurred immediate growth and prompted the growth of a village center. When Winchester was separated from Woburn in 1850, it became the town&#39;s civic and religious center, with the construction of the First Congregational Church (first church burned 1853, present church built 1854) on the west side of the center.</p><br>
<p>Commercial and civic buildings from the early period of growth, and of a second spurt of growth after the American Civil War survive in the center, including the Romanesque Winchester Town Hall (1887), and the 1879 Brown and Stanton Block at Main and Mount Vernon Streets. Growth continued in the early 20th century, with the Beaux Arts Lincoln School (1903), the Colonial Revival Police and Fire Station (1914), and the Gothic Revival library (1931), designed by local architect Robert Coit. The most significant ahistorical modification to the district is the elevation of the Boston and Lowell line, effectively bisecting the district.</p><br>
<p>The Philemon Wright/Asa Locke Farm, better known as "Wright-Locke Farm," is a historic farm at 78 Ridge Street in Winchester, Massachusetts. The organic farm sits on 12.5 acres of land now owned by the Wright-Locke Land Trust. It grows and sells produce and offers educational programs for children and adults.</p><br>
<p>The property was owned around the turn of the 19th century by Philemon Wright, a noted explorer of Canada, and was developed by the family of Josiah Locke, to whom he sold the property in 1800 before embarking on his explorations. The Greek Revival farmhouse was probably built c. 1828 by Asa Locke. The farm remained in the Locke family into the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It is one of a few working farms in Winchester.</p><br>
<p>The Winchester Savings Bank is a bank headquartered at 661 Main Street in Winchester, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<p>The bank is an independent, mutual, state-chartered institution with a mission of meeting the financial needs of the communities which it serves. The bank is directed by a board of trustees elected by the bank&#39;s corporators, a group of civic-minded, local individuals. Since the Bank is mutual, all profits from operations are reinvested in the bank.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Winchester Savings Bank was established by the Massachusetts Legislature and incorporated on March 3, 1871. The first meeting of the Corporators was held in Lyceum Hall (the building at the corner of Main and Mt. Vernon Streets in Winchester) on July 11, 1871. The Bank first opened its doors for business on August 26, 1871, in a banking room on the north side of Main Street. It was generally predicted that the Bank would not be a success, but on opening day, $11,058 was deposited, with most of this total coming from the bank&#39;s trustees and corporators.</p><br>
<p>In 1880, the bank moved to the second floor of the Brown and Stanton Block on Main Street, and remained there until 1892 when it moved into its newly constructed building at 26 Mt. Vernon Street. The bank&#39;s main office was moved on December 10, 1979 to its present location at 661 Main Street. Since its founding in 1871, the bank has grown into a full-service financial institution.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The bank&#39;s first purpose-built headquarters is a Richardsonian Romanesque structure was built in 1892 by William Blaikie and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Moran Bay Patrol Cabin was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps about 1932. The log structure was located in the northern backcountry of Grand Teton National Park, and was built to a standard design for such structures, in the National Park Service Rustic style, but for the USA Forest Service, which administered much of the area prior to the expansion of the park in 1943. The Upper Granite Canyon Patrol Cabin is similar.</p><br>
<p>The cabin was a days hike from the Leigh Lake Ranger Patrol Cabin to the south and the Colter Canyon cabin to the north. Located in a remote portion of the park, the cabin was used for winter ranger patrols. The one story cabin was built on a stone foundation. The log walls were saddle-notched at the corners. The roof was sheathed with cedar shingles and had exposed log purlin structure on the interior, which is a single room. The site features a view of Jackson Lakes Moran Bay, and is at present usually accessed by boat from the lake. The cabin was reconstructed in 1995,</p><br>
<p>The Moran Bay Patrol Cabin was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 25, 1998</p><br>
<p>The Upper Granite Canyon Patrol Cabin was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps about 1935. The log structure is located in the extreme southwest backcountry of Grand Teton National Park. The cabin was built according to a standard design for such structures, in the National Park Service Rustic style. The Moran Bay Patrol Cabin is similar.</p><br>
<p>The patrol cabin is a one story log cabin on a log sill foundation using 14 in logs. The cabin is square in plan with asphalt roll roofing on the gabled roof. The door retains its original wrought iron hardware. The interior is floored with 8 in boards, cut to a length of 3 ft to fit a pack saddle. The interior logs are trimmed with split-pole chinking. The ceiling is open, with exposed log framing.</p><br>
<p>The Upper Granite Canyon Patrol Cabin was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 19, 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Bar B C Dude Ranch was established near Moose, Wyoming in 1912 as a dude ranch by Struthers Burt and Dr. Horace Carncross, using their initials as the brand. Rather than converting a working ranch, Burt and Carncross built a tourist-oriented dude ranch from the ground up, using a style called "Dude Ranch Vernacular", which featured log construction and rustic detailing. As one of the first dude ranches in Jackson Hole, the Bar B C was a strong influence on other dude ranches in the area, and employed a number of people who went on to establish their own operations. It was acquired by the National Park Service and incorporated into Grand Teton National Park upon the expiration of a life estate. The ranch was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Struthers Burt had previously started the first true dude ranch in Jackson Hole, the JY, in 1908 with Louis Joy. The JY&#39;s patrons included Owen Wister, whose writings did much to popularize dude ranches. However, Joy and Burt fell out. Established in 1912 by Burt and Horace Carncross, the B C was given a boost by the outbreak of World War I, which restricted American travel to Europe. Many Easterners came west, and Jackson Hole was particularly popular among Philadelphians. In 1917 Burt and Carncross borrowed $9200 to expand the ranch from the Philadelphia Trust Company. The standard of service and cuisine rose rapidly (Burt described early food as "bad"), moving from canned vegetables in the early years to fresh vegetables and dairy produced at the ranch by the early 1920s. By 1922 it was incorporated as Bar B C Ranches and was one of the largest operations in the valley, able to house fifty dudes in 45 buildings. Burt and Carncross also operated the White Grass for Harold Hammond and George Bispham during this time, briefly buying the White Grass operation before selling it back. New partners Irving Corse and Joe LePage joined the operation, having worked their way through the organization as cowboys, wranglers and foremen.</p><br>
<p>The B C site was carefully selected by Burt and Carncross after considering views, water, soil, timber, and a relative lack of mosquitoes. Carncross, a 41-year-old physician from Whitemarsh, Pennsylvania, hoped that the dude ranch business would lead to a cattle ranching operation. Rather than buying an existing operation, Burt and Carncross established the B C as a homestead claim on adjacent tracts of 154.03 acre for Burt and 158.03 acre for Carncross, claiming more land in subsequent years. By 1917 the B C amounted to more than 600 acre. In 1924 Burt and Carncross bought a ranch near the Gros Ventre River to raise cattle and hay, naming it the Lower Bar BC.</p><br>
<p>In 1924, Burt published Diary of a Dude Wrangler in the Saturday Evening Post. Burt was himself a Princeton-educated Easterner who wrote on a wide range of subjects, including the West. Burts wife, Katharine Newlin Burt (1882–1977) and son Nathaniel Burt (1913–2003) were also published writers. Consequently, the Bar B C tended to attract writers. Guests included Harry W. Frantz and Burts friends from Princeton, including David Adler.</p><br>
<p>During the 1920s Burt became an active advocate for conservation in Jackson Hole, opposing plans to build a dam at the outlet of Jenny Lake. In 1923 Burt participated in a meeting with Horace Albright, director of the National Park Service, at Maud Nobles cabin at Menors Ferry, which established a plan for the protection of Jackson Hole. After 1927 the Snake River Land Company, operating on behalf of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., began to buy Jackson Hole land for eventual transfer to the National Park Service. In 1929 Burt and his then-partner Irving Corse sold the Bar B C in return for a life estate that allowed the dude operation to continue. Carncross had died in 1928 at his home in Pennsylvania, soon followed by Joe LePage. Grand Teton National Park was established in 1929, encompassing the Teton Range. It would not be until 1943, when Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed Jackson Hole National Monument, assembled largely from Snake River Land Company holdings, that the ranch would exist within the protected lands. In 1929, Burt bought land along Pacific Creek where he established a dude ranch-like private retreat, naming it Three Rivers Ranch.</p><br>
<p>During the 1930s Burt and Corse disagreed over management and profit sharing, and in 1937 Corse bought out Burt. Corse believed that authenticity demanded that the ranch look "run down", and neglected maintenance. A series of fires caused some necessary rebuilding, and in 1934 Corse moved Joe LePages cabin to the ranch. Corse also built a small airstrip and hangar on the property. During World War II Corse suspended the ranch operation to be a flight instructor at the University of Wyoming. After the war, Corses health declined, and he died in 1953. Margaretta Corse subleased the ranch to T.H. and Margaretta Frew Conderman (of the 4 Lazy F Dude Ranch Frews), who operated the ranch as short-term-stay tourist cabins from 1950 to 1959. Afterwards, Mrs. Corse managed the ranch until 1985, when she could no longer continue. Mrs. Corse died in 1988. The life estate was terminated, and the property reverted to the Park Service.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The historic district at the Bar B C includes 37 structures, including cabins, a lodge, a dining hall, a laundry/utility building, man-made ponds, barns, sheds and corrals. The site is at the western edge of the Snake River bottomlands, nestled against a river terrace to the west. A central road climbs from the ranch through a cutting in the hillside. The buildings are chiefly 1- or -story log structures, rectangular in shape. Roofing is red or green asphalt roll roofing. The property layout is apparently casual, but centers on the dining hall and lodge, with cabins on either side of the main path, flanked by corrals to the north and the barn to the south. While the exteriors are in good condition and are considered contributing features, the interiors have lost much of their character through alterations and loss of fixtures.</p><br>
<p>The informally styled ranch was widely copied by later dude ranches, and is considered a prototype of the genre.</p><br>
<h2>Offspring</h2><br>
<p>As one of the first dude ranches in the area, the B C inspired former dudes and employees to establish their own operations. Bar B C alumni established the White Grass, Sun Star, and the STS Ranch. Others, such as Maud Noble, who bought Menor&#39;s Ferry, or Cissy Patterson, established personal retreats.</p><br>
<p>The ranch operated until after World War II, when the cabins became summer rental cabins.</p><br>
<h2>Present situation</h2><br>
<p>The main ranch is included in Grand Teton National Park. The buildings have received limited maintenance since 1986. Many structures have deteriorated, and some have been partially demolished, but preservation work, coordinated from the National Trust for Historic Preservation Western Center at the White Grass Ranch, has stabilized the Carncross Cabin and the main lodge. The Bar B C was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 23, 1990.</p><br>
<p>A residential property development on the former Lower B C Ranch property, just south of the Three Rivers Ranch, is now called the Bar BC Ranch.</p><br>
<p>Mount Senjō is a 3,032.6 m mountain on the border of Minami-Alps, Yamanashi, and Ina, Nagano, in Japan. This mountain is one of the major peaks of the Akaishi Mountains, and is one of the most popular peaks in the range. This mountain is also one of the 100 Famous Japanese Mountains.</p><br>
<h2>Outline</h2><br>
<p>Mount Senjō is one of the destinations in Akaishi Mountains for tourists. This mountain has three major peaks, which are Senjō-ga-take, Dai-Senjō-ga-take, and Ko-Senjō-ga-take.</p><br>
<p>This mountain can be accessed easily over Minami Alps Gravel Road. This mountain is called the queen of Minami-Alps because of its elegant looks. This area is in Minami Alps National Park that was established on June 1, 1964.</p><br>
<h2>Mountaineering</h2><br>
<p>British Walter Weston visited Japan several times and wrote in 1896 the book Mountaineering and Exploring in the Japanese Alps. He climbed Mount Senjō in 1904.</p><br>
<h3>Route</h3><br>
<p>The most popular route to the top of this mountain is from Kitazawa Pass. To the Kitazawa Pass, climbers use buses from Todai-guchi Bus Stop or Hirogawara Bus Stop. It takes about four hours from the pass to the mountain.</p><br>
<h3>Mountain hut and camp site</h3><br>
<p>There are some mountain huts in the surrounding, and they are opened during the climbing mountain season. There is a "Mountain hut Senjō" in the Yambusawa Cirque near the top of the mountain. Moreover, there is one camp specification ground. That is the large one around "Kitazawa Pass (北沢峠)" that is used as base camp for Mount Senjō or Mount Kaikoma.</p><br>
<h2>Alpine plants and animals</h2><br>
<p>This mountain is famous for many Alpine plants on the upper part of the mountains above the tree line. Siberian dwarf pine can be see in the place and rock ptarmigan and spotted nutcracker live here as well. Japanese serow and sika deer live in the forest belt in the hillside in the mountain. Then this mountain is selected to " 100 famous Mountains with flowers" and "New 100 famous Mountains with flowers" by Sumie Tanaka.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<h3>Nearby mountains</h3><br>
<p>It is on the main ridge line in the northern part of the Akaishi Mountains. There are three cirques: "Yabusawa", "Ko-Senjō" and "Dai-Senjō". The ridge on the north side is called "Horseback" ("Uma-no-Se").</p><br>
<h3>Source of river</h3><br>
<p>Rivers with their source here flow to the Pacific Ocean.</p><br>
<p>Noro River (tributary of Fuji River)</p><br>
<p>Todai River, Mibu River (tributary of Tenryū River)</p><br>
<p>The Dent de Lys  is a mountain in the Bernese Alps , in the canton of Fribourg.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Dent de Lys is the natural border of the municipalities of Châtel-St-Denis (west side) and Haut-Intyamon on the east side.</p><br>
<p>If we follow its south ridge, we can find Folliu Borna (1,849 m, the Vanil des Artses (1,993 m), the Cape au Moine (1,941 m), the Dent de Jaman (1,875 m) and finally les Rochers de Naye (2,042 m).</p><br>
<h2>Climbing</h2><br>
<p>The col de Lys (1,783 m) allows the hikers and skiers to reach the summit of the Dent de Lys from the east and the west.</p><br>
<p>The last part, on the ridge, can be difficult for those suffering from vertigo. Scrambling ability required.</p><br>
<p>Metal chains have been fixed to the rock to help climbers in some critical sections. Note that in the event of rain the chains</p><br>
<p>become very slippery, increasing difficulty of the descent, in particular. That, and the long period of exposure on the ridge, suggest fine weather for the ascent.</p><br>
<p>On 25 March 1940, a roped party had an accident near the summit. Three climbers died. The only survivor, a catholic priest, said he was saved by his prayers toward Marguerite Bays (a local girl that eventually became beatified in 1995).</p><br>
<p>Nowadays, some mortuary crosses can be seen with the name of those who died while tempting the ascent of the summit.</p><br>
<p>Lake Timsah, also known as Crocodile Lake, is a lake in Egypt on the Nile delta. It lies in a basin developed along a fault extending from the Mediterranean Sea to the Gulf of Suez through the Bitter Lakes region. In 1800, a flood filled the Wadi Tumilat, which caused Timsah&#39;s banks to overflow and moved water south into the Bitter Lakes about nine miles  away. In 1862, the lake was filled with waters from the Red Sea.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Lake Timsah lies within a depression that spans the isthmus between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. The lowest points of the depression form shallow natural lakes, of which Timsah is one. Most of the lake is marshy and depth rarely exceeds 3 feet (1 meter).</p><br>
<p>It has been asserted that, in ancient times, Lake Timsah was the northern terminus of the Red Sea.</p><br>
<p>March 4, 1863, the city of Ismailia, named in honor of the viceroy Ismail Pasha, arose on Lake Timsah&#39;s northern bank. Several beaches overlook the lake, including the Moslem Youth, Fayrouz, Melaha, Bahary, Taawen, and a few Suez Canal Authority beaches.</p><br>
<h2>Canals</h2><br>
<p>Lake Timsah possibly first became a juncture for canal construction approximately 4,000 years ago during the Middle Kingdom of Egypt, and was expanded by Darius I.</p><br>
<p>Suez Canal construction in the vicinity of Lake Timsah began in 1861 on the segment north of the lake. Initial preparations included the construction of sheds to house 10,000 workers, steam sawmills, and importation of large quantities of wheelbarrows and wooden planks. It was also proposed to construct a halfway port at this point along the canal.</p><br>
<p>The Ismailia section of the Suez Canal, which connected Lake Manzala to Lake Timsah, was completed in November 1862. Construction of the segment was completed with forced labor, which expanded the workforce to 18,000 men. The trench measured 50 ft wide by four to six feet deep and connected Lake Timsah to the Mediterranean Sea. Work began south of Lake Timsah in 1862-1863 as expansion continued on the northern segment. Forced labor was used during canal construction from March 1862 until Ismail Pasha outlawed the practice in 1864. As a result of the canal, waters from Lake Manzaleh flowed into Lake Timsah. Expansion continued on the northern segment until 1867 and on the southern segment until 1876.</p><br>
<h2>Environment</h2><br>
<p>Lake Timsah is a brackish lake that experiences significant variations in salinity. Human engineering projects have impacted salinity, with resulting changes in the lakes biota. Decreases in salinity were noted as early as 1871 following Suez Canal construction, and subsequent enlargement of the channel from the Nile and other construction projects increased the inflow of fresh water to the lake. The El-Gamil outlet serves as Lake Timsahs principal source of salt water. Timsahs main source of fresh water was annual Nile flooding until the Aswan High Dam interrupted these flows in 1966, although groundwater also accounts for much of the lakes freshwater supply. Lake Timsah experiences both stratification variations in salinity and seasonal surface variations in salinity, and in recent decades freshwater taxa have been overtaking brackish taxa.</p><br>
<p>In 2002, a study was conducted to check the concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in fish and shellfish species that locals consume from the lake. Samples included tilapia, crabs, bivalves, clams and gastropods. The results showed that crabs contained "significantly higher concentrations of both total and carcinogenic PAHs than other species, while clams contained significantly lower levels of PAHs."</p><br>
<p>In 2003, a number of groups attempted to relieve the lake of pollution. It was a significant event for the local community, since the lake is of economic importance to the city and its fishermen.</p><br>
<p>Cotter Force is a small waterfall on Cotterdale Beck, a minor tributary of the River Ure, near the mouth of Cotterdale, a side dale in Wensleydale, North Yorkshire, England.</p><br>
<h2>The Falls and Cotterdale Beck</h2><br>
<p>Cotterdale Beck has several other smaller falls in its course before joining the Ure, but Cotter Force is the largest. The force is not visible from the road, but it takes only a short walk to reach it. It comprises a series of six steps each its own small waterfall with the largest single drop being about 5 ft. The force is narrow at 3 ft at the top widening to 15 ft at the bottom. A short path allows easy access from the A684 near Holme Heads Bridge approximately 2 mi west of Hawes.</p><br>
<p>(OS grid ref: )</p><br>
<p>After the Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust carried out an upgrade to its footpath, Cotter Force is now accessible to wheelchair users and less mobile visitors.</p><br>
<p>The American Waltham Watch Company Historic District encompasses the former factory of the Waltham Watch Company, the leading American watch manufacturer of the 19th century and the city&#39;s largest employer. Located on Crescent Street and the banks of the Charles River, the surviving elements of its manufacturing facility date from the 1870s to the 1910s, and include particularly fine industrial Romanesque architecture. The buildings have been converted to a variety of commercial, industrial and residential uses since they ceased being used for watchmaking in the 1950s. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Waltham Watch factory complex is located southwest of downtown Waltham, in South Waltham. It occupies about 8 acre on the south bank of the Charles River, bounded on the north by Prospect Street, the east by Crescent Street, and the south by wood-frame residential and commercial properties. Its buildings extend for nearly 1,000 ft, with four above-ground floors and a basement level. Built out of red brick, the facades are dominated by rows of large sash windows set in segmented-arch openings. The complex has a several different roof treatments, as well as several towers, turrets, and corner finials, giving it a remarkably unified Romanesque appearance.</p><br>
<p>The earliest incarnation of the Waltham Watch Company was founded on this site in 1854, and demonstrated the complete creation of a watch under a single roof. The company went through a number of management and ownership changes, and was known as the American Waltham Watch Company when the first buildings of this facility were constructed beginning in 1879, when some of the first buildings were demolished. They were lauded at the time as model facilities, dedicated to the safety and hygiene of the workers, and included amenities such as daycare facilities that were unusual for the time. Major modifications to the plant ended in 1913, and the plant was shutdown about 1962, after a series of financial difficulties and ownership changes.</p><br>
<p>Following the demise of watch manufacturing, the complex was leased out in portions to light manufacturing industries. Panametrics, a manufacturer of precision equipment, occupied much of the premises until its acquisition in 2004 by General Electric. The complex has since then undergone an environmentally friendly conversion to mixed residential and commercial/industrial use.</p><br>
<p>The American Watch Tool Company is a historic factory complex at 169 Elm Street in Waltham, Massachusetts. The company was founded in 1877 as a spin-off from the successful American Watch Company, and was used for the production of watchmaking tools until 1904. The four-building complex traces the evolutionary history of this business. The factory was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The American Watch Tool Company complex is located on the west side of Elm Street, a short way south of the Charles River. This complex of four connected buildings was built up between 1877 and 1916. All four buildings are two stories, and are built of brick. The largest building, dating to 1901, stands closest to the street; it is seven bays wide, six of which have windows set in segmented-arch openings at the two main levels, with smaller similar windows at the basement level. An entrance occupies the rightmost bay.</p><br>
<p>The American Watch Tool Company was established as a spinoff of the American Watch Company, Waltham&#39;s leading business of the late 19th century. The company was established by tool makers, many of whom had learned precision machining in other manufacturing areas, who then produced tools for use by other watch makers. This facility was used in that business until 1904, expanding the premises in 1879 and 1882. and was thereafter used by the Metz Company for the manufacture of automobiles. By 1950 the property was owned by the Belgian Spinning Company.</p><br>
<p>Double Mountains is the name of a pair of flat-topped buttes located 13 mi southwest of Aspermont in Stonewall County, Texas. While the Handbook of Texas gives their elevation as either 2,000 ft or 2,400 ft,</p><br>
<p>Rising some 500–800 feet (150–250 m) above the surrounding plains, the higher eastern mountain is the highest point in Stonewall County and the most topographically prominent point for almost 160 mi, the nearest more prominent peak being Mount Scott in Oklahoma. As such an isolated geographical feature, the mountains are visible from a great distance, and feature commanding views from their tops.</p><br>
<p>Their prominence has long made them important regional landmarks, dating back at least to 1788, when Jose Mares opened a trail from San Antonio to Santa Fe; thereafter, the mountains were waymarkers "for every westward expedition and a rendezvous for buffalo hunters." They were also cited by the surveying party of Randolph B. Marcy in 1849.</p><br>
<p>Although paved roads do not lead directly to the mountains, they are accessible via paved Farm to Market Roads 2211 and 610 and dirt county roads; a steep dirt road leads up to the summit of each of the pair of mountains. A prominent radio tower stands on the eastern summit.</p><br>
<p>At one time, Comanche leader Quanah Parker and his band lived on or near the mountains, and according to one source, the mountains were once a sacred place to the Comanches.</p><br>
<h2>Town of Double Mountain</h2><br>
<p>A town of Double Mountain once existed a few miles north of the hills. Established in 1886, the community featured a post office, sheriff, schoolhouse, and Methodist and Baptist churches for several years in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but had become a ghost town by the 1980s.</p><br>
<p>Wilson&#39;s Diner is a historic diner at 507 Main Street  in Waltham, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<p>The diner was built by the Worcester Lunch Car Company as #819, and was delivered to this site by the company in March 1949. It is a well-preserved example of the company&#39;s post-World War II craftsmanship. The diner is ten bays wide and three deep, and sits on a brick foundation. A kitchen wing, built of concrete blocks, connects the diner to the house at 507 Main Street. The entrances to the diner are at either end, with original stainless steel doors bearing sunburst motifs. Inside the diner is a full-length marble counter with center staff access, with 18 counter stools, and wooden booths lining the front wall.</p><br>
<p>The diner was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>Monts Telliers are a mountain with twin peaks in the Pennine Alps of Switzerland. It is relatively easy to reach from the Swiss side of the ascent towards the Great St. Bernard Pass, especially by ski tours in winter-early spring, but also on foot during the summer. It offers a great panorama featuring Mont Blanc, Grandes Jorasses and Grand Combin.</p><br>
<h2>Route (walking)</h2><br>
<p>There is no marked path all the way to the top, but nevertheless, it is quite an easy and worthwhile ascent. Starting from La Pierre Alp (500 metres above the entrance to the Great St-Bernard Tunnel, on the right side of the road), the southern peak can be reached in about 3 hours by an easy walk with a few meters of very easy climbing during the final ascent to the peak. The walking path marked by a red line (white background) leads in parallel to the stream, up to the grassy, mildly inclined plateau of Combe de Drône, from which Col du Bastillon (2757 m) can be reached. From here, the route is not signposted anymore, but the peak can be reached relatively easily, by heading towards the abandoned bunker slits, then climbing up on the right hand side on the ledge above them. From this point, it becomes a normal walk again, on easily manageable rocky terrain, all the way up to the southern peak with its imposing panorama.</p><br>
<p>The Gross Lohner , is a limestone mountain of the Bernese Alps, located between Adelboden and Kandersteg in the Bernese Oberland. The main summit has an elvation of 3,048.7 m above sea level and is distinguished by the name Vorder Lohner . The mountain features several other peaks, from east to west:</p><br>
<p>Nünihorn, 2,717 m</p><br>
<p>Hinder Lohner (Rear Lohner), 2,929 m</p><br>
<p>Mittler Lohner (Central Lohner), 3,002 m</p><br>
<p>Mittaghorn, 2,678 m</p><br>
<p>The Lohner range is located east of Adelboden in the Engstlige valley and southwest of Kandersteg in Kander valley. The Gross Lohner is separated from the Chlyne Lohner (Small Lohner) to the north by the Bunderchrinde Pass, which provides a hiking route between Adelboden and Kandersteg.</p><br>
<p>The first tourist to climb the Lohner was one C. Dürheim from Bern in July 1876. In August of the same year, four members of the Alpine Club, during another ascent, found a bottle with the names of the two Kandersteg mountain guides Ogi and Hari, dated 1875.</p><br>
<p>Approximately halfways up the rock face, the Lohner hut can be found, which can be reached by skilled hikers without proper climbing.</p><br>
<p>The mountain with its many screes is almost only accessible by one of its three ridges. From the Lohner hut, the Mittler Lohner can be reached via the face by skilled climbers.</p><br>
<p>The AMK Ranch is a research center referred to as the University of Wyoming - National Park Research Station on the eastern shore of Jackson Lake in Grand Teton National Park. Also known as the Merymare, Lonetree and Mae-Lou Ranch, it was built beginning in the 1920s by William Louis Johnson, then expanded in the 1930s by Alfred Berol . Johnson built a lodge, barn and boathouse in 1927, while Berol added a larger lodge, new boathouse, and cabins, all in the rustic style.</p><br>
<p>The ranch is notable for the high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail, comparable to that seen in contemporary National Park Service structures. The Berol Lodge is the most extensively detailed rustic structure in Grand Teton.</p><br>
<p>William Johnson was an executive of The Hoover Company, who acquired the land in the 1920s and built a small lodge, garage and boathouse in 1927 using the log construction prevailing for dude ranches in Jackson Hole. Johnson died in 1931, and Berolzheimer, an officer of the Eagle (later Berol) Company, manufacturers of pencils, bought the ranch in 1936. Berol hired New York architect George W. Kosmak to design a new main lodge, boathouse, and cabins. Kosmak was assisted by Jackson architect Paul T. Colbron.</p><br>
<p>The AMK was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 23, 1990.</p><br>
<p>Pine Grove Cemetery is a cemetery whose main entrance is on Boston Street in Lynn, Massachusetts. It was established in the mid-19th century and it consists of 82 developed acres. There are approximately 88,000 to 90,000 interments at the cemetery.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>It was originally established as a private cemetery in 1849, with a design by Henry A. S. Dearborn, noted designer of Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It was purchased by the city of Lynn in 1855. In 1930, a wall was built by the WPA to surround the cemetery, and according to Ripleys Believe It or Not! it is the “second-longest contiguous stone wall in the world,” second only to the Great Wall of China. The cemetery got its name from the plethora of pine trees surrounding Rhodes Memorial Chapel and the cemeterys entrance. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
