<p>The Double Diamond Dude Ranch Dining Hall was built in 1945 as the centerpiece of a dude ranch operated by Frank Williams and Joseph S. Clark, Jr. in Grand Teton National Park. The ranch was opened in 1924 with a dozen tent cabins and log buildings for a kitchen and dining hall, lounge and commissary. In 1943 Williams built log tourist cabins, followed by the larger dining hall in 1945. The 1985 Taggart Lake Fire destroyed much of the ranch, sparing only the dining hall and five cabins. The dining hall is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as an example of rustic architecture. Since 1970 the Double Diamond property has been a hostel for mountain climbers in the Teton Range, and is known as the Climbers&#39; Ranch.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Frank Williams, originally from Colorado, was a local guide and former Bar B C Dude Ranch wrangler, who partnered with Clark, a young eastern dude from a wealthy Philadelphia family. Clark provided financial backing to open the Double Diamond in 1924 on a homestead claim that had been filed by Frank Williams&#39; wife Emma. Clark, who had been to the Bar B C and who had met Williams at the Bar None ranch, later became mayor of Philadelphia and was a USA senator from 1957 to 1969. The ranch expanded from 14 acre to 54 acre in 1926 with the purchase of a portion of the neighboring Manges property. Catering primarily to boys from eastern families, accommodations consisted of tents, with a small dining hall, lounge and commissary. The ranch drew its clientele from the Philadelphia area, charging $800, including transportation from Philadelphia, for a June 15 - September 15 season. References were required for prospective dudes. The ranch had an initial capacity of 25 dudes, expanded in the 1930s to 35. Clark, who was launching a legal and political career, became less involved in the 1930s, finally selling his share to Harry and Nola Williams Brown in 1946, but buying back an acre for a summer cabin.</p><br>
<p>Cabins were added in 1943 with a shift in emphasis to families. The main dining hall was built in 1945. Harry Brown and Nola Williams Brown, took half of the ownership in 1948. The Williams family continued to operate the Double Diamond until Frank&#39;s death in 1964, when the National Park Service bought the ranch for $315,000, retaining a lease to continue operations through 1969.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The 1945 dining hall is a one story U-shaped log building. It features a large stone fireplace and chimney on the north side. The former dining room is now a library and lounge, while the original commercial kitchen is a communal kitchen and dining area. The exterior is stained a uniform brown. Following local custom, the log chinking is covered with 1/4 pole strips.</p><br>
<p>The five surviving original cabins (of 15 extant before the fire) are not part of the historic designation. New and relocated cabins have replaced those lost, in locations approximating the missing cabins. Two cabins, designed by Ogden, Utah architect Eber Piers, were moved from the Hunter Hereford Ranch, confusing the local historical context.</p><br>
<p>The complex, including the dining hall, has been leased to the American Alpine Club since 1970. Renamed the Climbers&#39; Ranch, the facility is a hostel for mountain climbers. The cabins are used for dormitory-style climber accommodations, while the dining hall is a shared facility.</p><br>
<p>The Double Diamond dining hall was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 18, 1998.</p><br>
<p>Zla Kolata  is a mountain of the Prokletije on the border of Montenegro and Albania.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Zla Kolata has an elevation of 2,534 m, making it the highest mountain in Montenegro, and the 16th highest in Albania. It is located on the border of the Plav municipality of Montenegro and the Tropojë district of Kukës County, Albania. Zla Kolata has an enormous summit and is a popular tourist destination in both countries. Standing half a kilometer to the northeast at 2,528 m, only slightly lower, is Kolata e Mirë or Dobre Kolata, also located on the border. The highest peak on this massif is a kilometer east-southeast of Zla Kolata and is completely on Albanian soil; called Rodi e Kollatës or Maja e Kollatës, it rises to 2,552 m (8,373 ft) but despite the dramatic views into the Valbona Valley, is not as often visited.</p><br>
<p>The Riffelhorn  is a mountain in the Swiss section of the Pennine Alps, located south of Zermatt in the canton of Valais.</p><br>
<p>The Riffelhorn forms part of the Gorner ridge and provides excellent rock climbing facilities having several routes of a different Climbing grades. It has been used a long time by the local Alpine guides to train rock climbing skills for climbers before ascending on higher mountains.</p><br>
<p>It is also very popular view point being in the middle of one of the most famous valleys in the Alps, between the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa. Also the altitude of nearly 3,000 m gives a needed atmosphere of Alpine conditions. Nearest access is Rotenboden train station. Gornergratbahn continues from here up to summit of Gornergrat.</p><br>
<p>On the northern side of the mountain lies the Riffelsee.</p><br>
<p>The Plaza Super Cinema and Variety Theatre cinema in Stockport, England opened in 1932 and is now a Grade II* listed building. After being a bingo hall for many years, it has now been restored as a cinema and theatre, showing classic films and staging live shows.</p><br>
<p>Since 2011 it has been the annual host to the Screen Stockport Film Festival.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The building is in the Art Deco style, it was constructed in 1932 to a design by William Thornley. It had an original seating capacity of 1878 (other sources say 1848)- and in its restored state has 614 seats in the stalls, 318 in the front circle and 254 in the rear circle (the balcony). The site involved cutting into the rock.</p><br>
<h2>Compton Theatre Organ</h2><br>
<p>To possess an original Compton Organ is rare, but the Plaza organ is notable in its own right. It was the first Compton Theatre Organ to be built with sunburst decorative glass panels. These can be illuminated in a range of colours.</p><br>
<p>The Compton organ is a three manual instrument with a unique 150 stop tab layout which was designed for the Plaza and her sister cinema by Norman Cocker the resident organist from Manchester Cathedral and Arthur Ward one of the original Directors of the Stockport Plaza. It has in addition 42 toe and thumb pistons. There are 11 ranks of pipes situated in 2 chambers, one over the other to the right of the stage. These are concealed behind the decorative grill in the wall. There is no electric amplification, as the sound is produced acoustically straight from the organ pipes. The console is on a lift so that it can rise out of the floor, adding to the theatrical effect.As there is no amplification the organist controls the volume using swell pedals that operate shutters in the grill. It was played before shows, and during silent movies, variety acts and musical interludes between films. The organ can supply a large range of effects from sleigh bells to aircraft and sea sounds.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Early History</h3><br>
<p>The first plans for a cinema on this site was made by William Thornley in 1929. It was a conservative scheme that incorporated a motor garage, a billiard hall, a restaurant with a 1600-seat cinema. Thornley, who had trained with Bradshaw Gass & Hope was experienced in designing silent movie cinemas. The owners of the site rejected the scheme. They had just opened the 1850 seat Regal Cinema, Altrincham which was designed by Drury and Gomersall and described as the ‘Cathedral of the Movies’. Thornley was commissioned to modify the Altrincham plans to fit on the more restricted Stockport site.</p><br>
<p>10,000 tonnes of sandstone was excavated to create The Plaza and the adjoining Plaza steps by outside labourers. The building was partially underground. The cinema was an Art Deco gem which was welcomed by the local cinema goers but opposed by the local business community, smarting from the use of outsiders when the town was still suffering from the Great Depression. Technically the cinema had all the latest equipment the projectors that could project silent and sound stock, and a Compton organ to be played during the silent news reels. It was a cine-variety venue.</p><br>
<p>The Plaza attracted competition and by 1939 there were two further super cinemas in the town centre- and two in the suburbs. After the war, in the 1950s The Plaza was refurbished and diversified into CinemaScope and 3-D screenings. The conversion to a Bingo Hall was refused by Stockport Borough Council planning committee- this ruling was overturned by National government and Rank Leisure proceeded with their plan.</p><br>
<h3>The Bingo Years</h3><br>
<p>Bought in 1967, the Plaza operated as a Mecca Bingo Hall until 1999.</p><br>
<h3>Restoration</h3><br>
<p>The Plaza was sold to the Stockport Plaza Trust, first restorations started, and it re-opened for live shows and vintage film presentations. The first cinema show in December 2000 featured a performance of 42nd St which had been the first film shown at the Plaza in 1932. The Compton organ was found to be in working order, it was powered up and a performance of 1930s singalong music was given by Nigel Ogden. The Plaza was closed during 2009, and ₤1.9m restoration, funded by a National Lottery grant took place.</p><br>
<p>Volunteers embarked on THE restoration of The Plaza to its original 1932 configuration. Most of the façade has now been unveiled and sports new name sign as well as red and green side panels, all constructed with neon lighting. The entire face has also been completely restored to its original cream ensemble.</p><br>

<p>The Moose Entrance Kiosk was built between 1934 and 1939 by either the Public Works Administration or the Civilian Conservation Corps at the entrance to Grand Teton National Park. The log kiosk was built to National Park Service standard plans in the National Park Service Rustic style. It was originally located near the park&#39;s former administrative area, but was moved in the early 1960s to the new administration center and entrance at Moose. It is the last survivor of that building type and era in the park.</p><br>
<p>The kiosk was designed in the National Park Service rustic style, using rough log construction throughout. It is no longer used, having been supplanted by two newer, somewhat larger structures.</p><br>
<p>The Moose Entrance Kiosk was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 23, 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Jackson Lake Ranger Station is the last Depression-era USA Forest Service ranger station in its original location in Grand Teton National Park. When first established, the park comprised only the mountainous terrain above Jackson Hole, while the remainder of what would eventually become the park was administered by the Forest Service as part of Teton National Forest. The Jackson Lake Station was built in 1933 as close as possible to Park Service property as possible as a kind of resistance to the park&#39;s expansion. The station was one of five Forest Service stations in the area, and was taken over by the National Park Service when Jackson Hole National Monument was established in 1943, later becoming an enlarged Grand Teton National Park. It is the only such station not to have been moved or altered by the Park Service.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The ranger station building is a 1-1/2 story log structure typical of the rustic bungalow style used by the Forest Service for its buildings of the era. An outhouse, 1-1/2 story garage and 2-1/2 story barn complete the grouping. The site is on the Teton Park Road overlooking the Willow Flats and Jackson Lake. Of the five Forest Service ranger stations in the area, the Jackson Lake station is the only one not to have been moved or rebuilt after the Park Service takeover.</p><br>
<h2>Forest Service vs. Park Service</h2><br>
<p>The enlargement of Grand Teton National Park was the subject of bitter disagreement in the local population and of resentment in the Forest Service, which had opposed the transfer. When the Forest Service vacated the Jackson Lake station in 1943 it took all of the station&#39;s furnishings and fixtures, interpreting "movable equipment" to include piping, plumbing fixtures, doors and cabinets. A four-foot wide hole was cut in the floor to remove an underground water tank, leaving the building in poor condition. In advance of a visit by congressmen in 1943 a live skunk was placed in the building, dying there. Public opinion blamed Forest Service personnel who did not wish the congressional delegation to see the damage.</p><br>
<p>The Jackson Lake Ranger Station was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 23, 1990.</p><br>
<p>Teton National Forest was first established by the General Land Office on February 22, 1897 as the Teton Forest Reserve with 892,440 acre. A commission was established in 1896 to plan for a system of national forest reserves, recommending an expansion of the territory protected by the Yellowstone Timberland Reserve. President Grover Cleveland&#39;s 1897 proclamation established a protected area encompassing the northern end of Jackson Hole, extending from the south boundary of the Yellowstone Forest Reserve south to the area of the Gros Ventre River, and from the Idaho border in the west to the area of the Continental Divide in the east. Much of this area would eventually be incorporated into Grand Teton National Park. In 1902 the southern porion of the Yellowstone reserve was added, while the Teton Reserve was greatly expanded to the south and east while excluding the southern portion of Jackson Hole around the town of Jackson.</p><br>
<p>On January 29, 1903 it was combined with the Yellowstone Forest Reserve, but it was reinstated as a separate unit on July 1, 1908 with 19,911,200 acre. In 1973 Teton National Forest was administratively combined with Bridger National Forest, creating Bridger-Teton National Forest. In descending order of land area, Teton National Forest is located in parts of Teton, Sublette, Park, Fremont, and Lincoln counties. It is now administrated as part of the Bridger-Teton National Forest from its headquarters in Jackson, but there are local ranger district offices in Jackson and Moran. The forest contains both the Gros Ventre Wilderness and the Teton Wilderness, both officially designated by the National Wilderness Preservation System.</p><br>
<p>Bridger National Forest was first established by the U.S. Forest Service on July 1, 1911 in Wyoming with 577,580 acre from part of Bonneville National Forest. On May 14, 1923 Bridger was transferred Wyoming National Forest, and the name was discontinued. On March 10, 1943 Wyoming was renamed Bridger. In 1973 Bridger National Forest was administratively combined with Teton National Forest, creating Bridger-Teton National Forest. In descending order of land area, Bridger National Forest lands are located in Sublette, Lincoln, Fremont, and Teton counties. There are local ranger district offices in Afton, Big Piney, Kemmerer, and Pinedale. Its administrative headquarters reside in Jackson, Wyoming as part of the combined Bridger-Teton National Forest. Its current area of 1,736,075 acres  represents 51.02% of the combined Bridger-Teton&#39;s area of 3,402,644 acres . The forest includes all of the National Wilderness Preservation System&#39;s officially designated Bridger Wilderness.</p><br>
<p>Yellowstone National Forest was first established by the General Land Office on March 30, 1891 as the Yellowstone Park Timber Land Reserve of 1,239,040 acre. On May 22, 1902 it became the Yellowstone Forest Reserve with lands of 6,580,920 acre.</p><br>
<p>The reserve was first suggested by General Philip Sheridan in 1882 after a visit to Yellowstone National Park. Sheridan recommended that the park be expanded 40 mi to the east and 10 mi to the south. Legislation was introduced by Senator George Graham Vest to accomplish this, but it was stalled by local opposition. The American Forestry Association took up the cause, preparing legislation that would allow the United States president to set aside lands as "forest reservations" through an executive order. President Benjamin Harrison then proclaimed the reserve, largely following Sheridan&#39;s recommendation, on March 30, 1891. Some areas on the northeast portion of the proposed reservation were excluded to allow mining in the headwaters of the Clarks Fork River. The land was, in effect, the first national forest. For the time being, it was placed under the same military administration that applied to Yellowstone Park proper.</p><br>
<p>In 1902 lands were exchanged with the Teton Forest Reserve and the reserve was placed under civilian administration, with the first ranger station in the nation established at Wapiti on the Shoshone River. Artist and rancher Abraham Archibald Anderson was named as the first Special Superintendent of Forest Reserves.</p><br>
<p>On January 9, 1903 lands of the first Absaroka and Teton Forest Reserves were added, and on March 4, 1907 it became Yellowstone National Forest. In 1905 all federal forests were transferred to the USA Forest Service. On July 1, 1908 as part of a major reorganization, the forest was divided into Targhee, Teton, Wyoming, Bonneville, Absaroka, Shoshone and Beartooth National Forests, and the name was discontinued.</p><br>
<p>Hickory Hill is an estate in Hanover County, Virginia. The 3,300 acre former plantation is located approximately 20 mi north of the independent city of Richmond and 5 mi east of the incorporated town of Ashland.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Hickory Hill property was long an appendage to Shirley Plantation in Charles City County, much of it having come into possession of the Carter family by a deed dated March 2, 1734. The Carters were among the First Families of Virginia. Robert "King" Carter (1663–1732) served as an acting royal governor of Virginia and was one of its wealthiest landowners in the late 17th and early 18th centuries.</p><br>
<p>Robert Carter the younger gave 500 acres of land known as Hickory Hill to his daughter Ann Butler Carter and her betrothed on the occasion of her wedding in December 1819 to William Fanning Wickham. William Fanning Wickham, son of the famous defender of Aaron Burr, John Wickham esq., though a Richmond lawyer, soon adopted the life of a Planter, raising wheat as his cash crop and he and Ann eventually grew Hickory Hill to encompass 3300 acres. Once Hickory Hill became their modest home, the frame dwelling over an English basement grew with the plantation, eventually becoming a brick, seventy five hundred square foot Greek Revival mansion. Her sister, Anne Hill (née Carter) Lee, was the mother of Robert E. Lee. The Lee family visited often, before during and after the War Between the States. General Lees daughter Agnes was proposed to by her childhood sweetheart Orton Williams in Hickory Hills large parlor. She declined, never disclosing her reasons, but it is thought that the war had so hardened the sweet boy she had known, that he was gone and an angry, hard man had taken his place. Orton was later captured and hung the following morning as a spy. His last letter was written to Agnes Lee in which he proclaimed his innocence. General R.E. Lee wrote that this cruel deed was done to Orton in vindictiveness, simply to harm Lee and his family.</p><br>
<p>William and Anns son, Williams Carter Wickham (1820-1888), became a notable lawyer, judge, politician and soldier. Williams Wickham had been a member of Virginias secession convention and voted against leaving the Union. However once Abraham Lincoln demanded Virginia fight to enslave her sister states or be subjugated herself, Wickham knew where his duty lay, and the die was cast; he threw his whole might behind the Confederate cause. Williams Wickham had raised a local cavalry company, the Hanover Dragoons at Hickory Hill in 1859, which he captained until the spring of 1861. When Virginia called for volunteers Wickham and his Dragoons rode into Ashland, Virginia and enlisted in the Confederate Army. The Hanover Dragoons became Company G, 4th Virginia Cavalry and Wickham was elected lieutenant colonel. After having been severely wounded at the Battle of Williamsburg by a sabre thrust through the body, he returned home it was thought, to die. God, his own strong constitution and loving attention pulled him through the crises and opened greater possibilities to aid his country. Wickham, knew every byroad in that portion of the county and since he was at home behind the Yankee lines he was familiar with all of the Union military activity in the area also. Because of this, Jeb Suart, when beginning his famed ride around McClellan left his troops at their jump off point and taking along Gen. William Henry Fitzhugh "Rooney" Lee, who wished to see his bride, rode to Hickory Hill. Rooney was there to visit Charlotte Wickham. Charlotte was General Wickhams niece, but, since here parents were dead, she was more like a daughter. Stuart sat with Colonel Wickham late into the night and made his plans for the morrow before drifting off to sleep in a chair in the Big&#39; parlor.(one of three) Before sunup Stuart and Lee were back with their troops ready to begin their ride.</p><br>
<p>Though Wickham had no formal military training he was a brilliant man and excelled in the art of war. Having been a hard and dependable fighter through all of Stuarts campaigns with the Army of Northern Virginia he quickly rose to the rank of Brigadier General of Cavalry under Jeb Stuart, On June 26, 1863, General Robert E. Lees son, General William Henry Fitzhugh "Rooney" Lee was brought to Hickory Hill by his brother Robert Lee Jr. so that he could be with his wife, Charlotte Wickham Lee, and his mother and sisters who were staying at Hickory Hill while he recuperated from the severe thigh wound he received at the Battle of Brandy Station in 1863. Having learned of his staying there, a Federal raiding party was sent to capture him in order to hold him as a hostage for a Federal Officer. At the time he was staying in the plantation office with his nurse, brother Robert "Rob" Lee, Jr. About two weeks after arriving, Robert Jr. and Mrs. Wickham stepped out onto the front veranda after having just finished breakfast and heard shots ringing out in the Hickory grove down by the gate. She sent Robert to put a stop to the sport. While riding to the gate he espied the raiders approach shortly before they reached the mansion. Wheeling his horse he raced back to his brother in the Plantations office and attempted to quickly remove Rooney, who protested that he himself had always paroled wounded prisoners and had no doubt the Yankees would do the same, not knowing that they were coming specifically to capture him.</p><br>
<p>Robert Jr. escaped into the formal garden on the grounds and burrowed into the boxwood maze from where he watched the whole affair unfold, periodically creeping close to see if all was clear, but was several times turned back. Meanwhile, Scott, their faithful manservant, led all but one of the officers horses to safety. Afterwards he was captured, escaped and returned. The Yankees, rightly or wrongly believed that they had been taken across the Pamunkey River into Caroline County to their Uncle Williams Carters plantation, North Wales. Not content with their capture of the General, horses, wagon and other items looted from Hickory Hill, the Yankees sent a raiding party to North Wales to steal the officer&#39;s blooded horses. Not discovering them, they proceeded to beat the old gentleman to death, but he did not disclose the whereabouts of the boys horses. "Rooney" Lee was captured in the Hickory Hill Plantation office and carted away on a stolen wagon while his wife, two children, mother and sisters stood watching. Afterwards, even with the weight of Gettysburg upon him, R.E. Lee, always the gentleman, wrote to his daughter in law, Charlotte (whom he referred to as daughter) while he was penned up in Hagerstown, Maryland waiting for the waters to fall so he could cross back into Virginia: "The consequences of war are horrid enough at best, surrounded by all the amelioration of civilization and Christianity. I am very sorry for the injuries done the family at Hickory Hill and particularly that our dear old Uncle Williams, in his eightieth year, should be subjected to such treatment. But we cannot help it and must endure it" While he was held in a damp cell in Fortress Monroe, his children died of scarlet fever and his wife Charlotte wasted away. General Robert E. Lee always expressed the opinion that she died of a broken heart.</p><br>
<p>In 1864 Williams Wickham was elected to the Confederate Congress and was a member of the Hampton Roads Peace Commission. He served as a lawyer and jurist in Hanover before and after the war. In November 1865, he was named the president of the war-ravaged Virginia Central Railroad, which ran westerly from Richmond. Needing capitol to expand and update, the Virginia Central was merged with the Covington and Ohio Railroad to become the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway (C&O), with the goal of completing a railroad link to the Ohio River. Williams Wickham is credited with attracting transcontinental railroad builder Collis P. Huntington and fresh financing from New York City to complete the task by 1873. Wickham remained active with the C&O through a receivership and financial reorganization, and was at his office in Richmond working when he died in 1888.</p><br>
<p>The frame portion of the house at Hickory Hill was partially destroyed by a fire in 1875, and the family resided in the three-story brick addition which had been erected in 1857, while the damaged frame portion was rebuilt with a magnificent Flemish bond brick structure over the original brick English basement. The house was built to commercial standards of the day, and consequently has remained unusually solid. All of the sills were made of sandstone and all of the lentils granite. The back veranda is made of a checkerboard pattern of slate and marble, surrounded by massive granite beams. The rich Walnut doors and ornamental plaster, mantels, and heart pine flooring still remain and have been preserved to meet modern living needs, but in such a way as to be virtually unchanged. One of the mansions architectural gems is the massive two story great hall with double balconies.</p><br>
<p>Hickory Hill produced wheat (its major crop), corn, oats, and other fruits and vegetables. Unlike other Hanover County plantations, which sold locally, Hickory Hill sold its produce in Richmond where it brought a higher price. It had its own stop, Wickham Station, just below the manor house on the former Virginia Central Railroad. Clay was mined on the property and baked into bricks alongside the railroad tracks and all of the brick used in Hickory Hills construction was made on the plantation. It is also thought that many of the bricks that rebuilt Richmond after the War Between the States came from Hickory Hill. This revenue greatly aided in maintaining the lifestyle the Wickhams had enjoyed prior to the War.</p><br>
<p>General Wickham remained at Hickory Hill until his death in 1888 at which time his son, Henry Taylor Wickham became master of the plantation. the house changed little for over fifty years, but in 1915 five bathrooms were added to the mansion, and at this same time a coal fired steam boiler heating system was installed. A gas shed and carbide gas generator was also added and gas for lighting was piped to the mansion, the kitchen and office. the house was not disturbed again until it was wired for electricity in 1930.</p><br>
<p>The mansion, though fallen into disrepair, remains surrounded by the Plantation office, kitchen, smokehouse, Mammy&#39;s house, root cellar, carriage house and the first floor brick of the barn and stables. The property remained in the Wickham family for six generations, not coming out until approximately 2005, when it was sold. The mansion and some of the dependencies are being meticulously restored to their former glory. Work on the structures will continue until the full restoration is complete. The property now consists of the mansion, out buildings situated on fifty acres. A 546-acre view-shed was placed around the remaining estate that can never be developed, thus preserving the mansion, grounds and setting for the foreseeable future.</p><br>
<p>St. Mary&#39;s Roman Catholic Church and Rectory are located in downtown Rochester, New York.</p><br>
<p>St. Marys Parish was created in 1834 as Rochesters second Roman Catholic parish, after St. Patrick&#39;s Parish.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The cornerstone of the church was blessed 18 September 1853 by Bishop of Buffalo John Timon (the Diocese of Rochester was not formed until 1868). The building was dedicated, with Timon presiding, on 24 October 1858. The architect of the church is unknown, but design influences of Richard Upjohn and other church architects are apparent.</p><br>
<p>A brick rectory was built in 1905, replacing an earlier rectory.</p><br>
<p>A spire and belfry, designed by Richard B. Arnold, were added in 1939-1940, and a 10-note Deagan tower chime was installed in time to be played for Christmas 1939. The north tower may have been intended to have a spire originally, but financial difficulties may have precluded adding it earlier.</p><br>
<p>The church and rectory were added to the National Register of Historic Places on 12 March 1992.</p><br>

<p>Blanco Canyon is a canyon located in the USA state of Texas. Eroded by the White River into the Caprock Escarpment on the east side of the Llano Estacado, the canyon runs for 34 mi in a southeasterly direction, gradually widening from its beginning in southwestern Floyd County to 10 mi across at its mouth in southeastern Crosby County. It also gradually deepens from 50 ft at its beginning to 300 to 500 feet  at its mouth. There is one side canyon, five-mile long Crawfish Canyon, which was cut by Crawfish Creek as it feeds into the White River from the west.</p><br>
<p>Blanco Canyon is one of several canyons that have been cut by rivers into the east face of the Llano Estacado, including Yellow House Canyon, Tule Canyon, and Palo Duro Canyon.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The canyon was long suspected, but only confirmed in the 1990s, of having been used as a campsite by Francisco Vásquez de Coronado and his army twice in spring of 1541 while on his El Dorado expedition. The water and timber afforded by the White River and the trees growing along its banks would have provided an ideal campsite in the 16th century. Indeed, although the river is mostly dry now due to pumping, local anecdotes maintain that fishing was possible in the river until the mid-20th century. The canyon valley still appears fertile, and cottonwood trees line the creek bed.</p><br>
<p>It was also, on October 10, 1871, the site of the main skirmish of Col. Ranald S. Mackenzies initial campaign against the Plains Comanches, known as the Battle of Blanco Canyon. On this same campaign, Mackenzie established a supply camp named Andersons Fort on a curved ridge a short distance southeast of the canyon mouth; it is now on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Shortly thereafter, once the Plains Indians had been forced onto reservations, the nearby site of Mount Blanco on the east rim of the canyon was established in 1877 by Henry Clay Smith and his wife, the former Elizabeth Boyle, as the first permanent white settlement on the West Texas plains, and the first post office west of Fort Griffin. Early settlers were attracted to the site for the same reason as Coronado had been - the ready supply of wood and water, which were rarities in the area.</p><br>
<p>In 1948, the District Nine of the Caprock-Plains Baptist churches established the Plains Baptist Assembly in the canyon as a recreational retreat for area churches. By 1986, the site encompassed 160 acre and 65 buildings. Today, it runs year-round and features facilities for camps, retreats and conferences.</p><br>
<p>Floydada&#39;s country club is also located in the canyon.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>The canyon is crossed north-to-south by USA Highway 62 near the canyons beginning, and east-to-west by Farm to Market Road 193 and USA Highway 82, the latter being near the canyons mouth. Where USA 82 crosses the White River, a roadside park with facilities and hiking trails has been built.</p><br>
<p>The Weybosset Mills Complex is a historic industrial site in the Olneyville section of Providence, Rhode Island. It consists of nine historic brick factory buildings, located on three city blocks west of Rhode Island Route 10 and north of United States Route 6, just northwest of their junction. The three blocks are bounded on the south by Magnolia Street, and on the east by railroad tracks paralleling Route 10. The southern two blocks end at Agnes and Oak Streets, while the northerly block is bounded on the west by Troy Street and the north by Dike Street. The oldest building in the complex is a three-story brick boiler house built c. 1836. Although the origins of this mill complex were as a cotton mill, the Weybosset Corporation purchased it in 1864, and transformed it into one of the nations major producers of worsted wool products.</p><br>
<p>The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 10, 2008.</p><br>
<p>St. Mark&#39;s Historic District is a historic district located in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. The district was designated a city landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1969, and it was extended in 1984 to include two more buildings on East 10th Street. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and was expanded in 1985. The boundaries of the NRHP district and its expansion are now coterminous with those of the LPC.</p><br>
<p>St. Mark&#39;s Church in-the-Bowery is the centerpiece of the district, but it extends beyond the church and its rectory to include much of Stuyvesant Street and some of East 10th Street, which contain a small collection of Italianate and Federal-style houses and residential buildings.</p><br>
<p>The Campbell–Whittlesey House, also known as the Benjamin Campbell House, in Rochester, New York is an historic Greek Revival home, designed by architect Minard Lafever. It was built in 1836, and added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 18, 1971.</p><br>
<p>Campbell was a flour miller, as were many of Rochester&#39;s first residents. The home featured parlors painted in a dozen different colors and furniture stenciled with gold.</p><br>
<p>From 1939 In February 2010, the Society announced plans to sell the house to private interests, saying it would close as a museum by July 1. The Landmark Society cited decreased attendance&mdash;school visits, for example, decreased from 1,300 students in 2003 to 300 in 2009&mdash;and the society&#39;s shifting mission as explanations for the decision.</p><br>
<p>It is located within the boundaries of the Third Ward Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Aaron A. Sargent House was built prior to 1856, and is located in Nevada City, California at 449 Broad Street. Its architecture and engineering were significant during the periods of 1850-1874, 1875–1899, 1900–1924. The single family home is an Italianate Style Victorian design.</p><br>
<p>When Aaron Augustus Sargent brought his new bride, Ellen Clark Sargent, to Nevada City on 23 October 1852, he provided a home near the intersection of Broad and Bennett Streets, an area later referred to as Nabob Hill. Over the years, the Sargents and other renovated the home.</p><br>
<p>At one time, it was owned by physician, Dr. Carl Muller. It is currently the Grandmere&#39;s Inn.</p><br>
<h2>Landmark</h2><br>
<p>On 20 June 1980, this Nevada County building was designated as a landmark by the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Reid School is a historic school building in Bend, Oregon, United States. Built in 1914, it was the first modern school building constructed in Bend. The school was named in honor of Ruth Reid, Bend&#39;s first school principal. The building remained part of the public school district until 1979, when ownership was transferred to Deschutes County for use as a local history museum. Today, the Reid School is the home of the Deschutes Historical Museum. Because of its unique architecture and importance to the history of Bend, the Reid School is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Bends first schoolhouse was opened in 1887. It was located in an abandoned cabin near the Deschutes River in what is now Drake Park. That schoolhouse was replaced in 1904 by a three-story wood-frame school building located at the north end of Bends downtown area, near where the Deschutes County Court House is located today. Ruth Reid became the first principal of the 1904 school.</p><br>
<p>In 1913, the people of Bend passed a school bond issue that provided $23,000 for the purchase of property and the construction of a modern public school. The school district purchased several downtown lots on the corner of Wall Street and Idaho Avenue from The Bend Company, and one adjacent lot from a local family, to create a 1.9 acre building site.</p><br>
<p>A three-story school was built on the site in 1914. The new school accommodated students from first grade through high school. It was named in honor of Ruth Reid, and she continued as principal in the new school, overseeing 241 students. Because the Great Northern and Union Pacific railroads had opened routes into Central Oregon in 1911, the community was growing rapidly. As a result, 42 of the 241 children who attended the Reid School in 1914 were new students. The Reid School continued to serve as an important part of Bend&#39;s public school system for the next 65 years. During that time, Bend grew from fewer than 1,000 citizens to more than 16,000.</p><br>
<p>In 1979, ownership of the school building was transferred from the Bend School District to Deschutes County. The county in turn, agreed to lease the building to the Deschutes County Historical Society for use as a local history museum. The historical society raised money to renovate the Reid School, and then filled the new museum with exhibits from the society&#39;s collection of artifacts gathered from around Central Oregon. Oregon Governor Victor Atiyeh dedicated the Des Chutes Historical Center on July 4, 1980.</p><br>
<p>In 2002, exterior windows were replaced, an elevator was installed, and the building&#39;s heating and cooling systems were upgraded to create a modern museum facility. Today, the center has exhibits on pioneer life, logging, forestry, transportation, education, and Native American culture. Its history library is open to the public and a small bookstore features works on Central Oregon history.</p><br>
<p>Because of the school&#39;s unique architecture and its importance to the history of Bend, the Reid School was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Structure</h2><br>
<p>The Reid School is a classic Richardsonian Romanesque building designed by Sweatt, Levesque and Company, an architecture firm from Spokane, Washington. Ed and George Brosterhous were the general contractors who supervised the school&#39;s construction. The school was built in the center of a 1.9 acre parcel in downtown Bend, facing Idaho Avenue. It is surrounded by lawn with concrete walkways leading to the front door. There are a number of large Ponderosa pine trees that shade the grounds, giving the area a park-like atmosphere.</p><br>
<p>The Reid School was built as a modern education facility with ten classrooms, an auditorium, a central heating system, built-in electric clocks, drinking fountains, indoor plumbing, and an external fire escape system. The interior of the school is characterized by high ceilings, steep stairways, and large high-bay windows that provide natural light to the classrooms. The interior walls are lath and plaster, and are still in good condition. The original doors, moldings, and window casings are also in good condition. The original plumbing fixtures are still in use. The original boiler heating system is intact, but is no longer used.</p><br>
<h2>Ruth Reid Overturf</h2><br>
<p>Reid Schools namesake, Ruth Reid, was born in New Brunswick, Canada. She came to Bend in 1904 to teach school. Besides becoming Bends first school principal, she helped found the city&#39;s high school in 1908.</p><br>
<p>In 1910, Miss Reid married Harley James Overturf, the office manager for the Drake Development Company. In 1916, the couple built a two-story American Craftsman-style home near the Deschutes River in what is now the Drake Park Neighborhood Historic District. The Overturfs remained in Bend until 1953, when they moved to Hood River, Oregon. Ruth Reid Overturf died in 1965.</p><br>
<p>The South School is a historic one-room schoolhouse at 6 Schoolhouse Rd. in Shutesbury, Massachusetts. It is one of two such schoolhouses remaining in Shutesbury, and is a rare example of a side-gable construction. Its date of construction is uncertain, but is estimated to be about 1830. Because of the simplicity of the building, the presence of both Federal and Greek Revival elements in its design, and the comparatively late adoption of Greek Revival styles in the rural community, the school may have been built at a later date.</p><br>
<p>The schoolhouse sits about 15 feet off Schoolhouse Road and 50 feet from Baker Road, with its gable end facing the street. The 1.5 story building sits on a granite slab foundation, and has a chimney on its western wall. It measures about 25.5 feet by 18 feet, and there is a shed structure attached to the east wall. The main entrance is set in the right side of the south wall. The entry leads into a vestibule area, from which there is then entry into the schoolroom. There is a closet in the northeast corner, from which a hatch provides access to the attic area. The walls of the interior have a bead-board wainscoting, with horizontal tongue-and-groove boards rising to the ceiling. The classroom floor is wide pine, while that of the entry is narrow fir strips.</p><br>
<p>From its construction until 1928 the building served as a school, and was known as the District 8 School or the Moses S. Bartlett School, after a nearby resident. Its use declined after 1881, when the town abolished its districts, but was occasionally used due to fluctuating enrollments. The district schools were permanently closed in 1928, and elementary classes were centralized. The town sold the school for $200 in 1939, and it was converted to residential use. In 1993 the property was given to the Sirius Community, a nearby spiritual and educational organization, which has since undertaken the building&#39;s rehabilitation. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<p>Kostal Lake is a lake located in Wells Gray Provincial Park, east-central British Columbia, Canada. It is located west of Murtle Lake and east of Clearwater Lake.</p><br>
<h2>Naming</h2><br>
<p>Kostal Lake was named by Angus Horne in 1936 for Frank Kostal, one of the many trappers and prospectors who visited this remote region during the first quarter of the 20th century. Kostal had a cabin by the lake which he used when collecting animals from his trapline on Pillpill Mountain.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>Visits to Kostal Lake are rare due to difficult access. A trail from Clearwater Lake Campground was built in 1971 and originally extended 40 km to McDougall Lake and the west arm of Murtle Lake. The section beyond Kostal Lake has been impassable since the mid-1980s. The rest of the trail was permanently closed by B.C. Parks in 2013 and only the first 1.5 km from the campground as far as the Dragon&#39;s Tongue lava flow can still be used. A rigorous access route is still possible by canoe up File Creek, then a cross-country hike over the lava flow.</p><br>
<p>Float planes and helicopters are not allowed to land at Kostal Lake. Landings are permitted at McDougall Lake, 6 km northeast. A permit from B.C. Parks is required.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Kostal Volcano rises 150 m from the lake&#39;s northeast shore.</p><br>
<p>The Charles Brooks House is a historic house at 309 High Street in Medford, Massachusetts. It is a -story wood-frame house with brick side walls, each of which has two chimneys built into it. The house is estimated to have been built around 1765, early in the Federal period. It has exterior details that are now rare in Medford, including corner quoining and cornice detailing. The house is most notable, however, for its association with Rev. Charles Brooks, a prominent figure in local history.</p><br>
<p>Brooks (1795-1872) played an active role in the development of the educational systems of Massachusetts, including its normal schools. He also cowrote an early history of the city.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The Shepherd Brooks Estate is an historic property at 275 Grove Street in Medford, Massachusetts. The 82 acre property is owned by the city of Medford, and managed by a trust established to preserve the property. Its principal feature is the manor house constructed in 1880 by Shepherd Brooks, a member of a prominent Medford family, and is the only major 19th-century estate to survive relatively undeveloped in the city. The grounds are open to the public daily from dawn to dusk, and tours of the house are available during the summer.</p><br>
<p>The estate was developed by Brooks, a member of the locally prominent Brooks family that dominated West Medford for many years, as a summer estate and gentlemans farm. The manor house was designed by Peabody & Stearns, and is a large red brick house, with Queen Anne styling. It has a complex roofline with many gables, and there is a port cochere. A carriage barn stands near the main house. The estate originally included a second summer house called Point of Rocks, which had been built by Peter Chardon Brooks III in 1859, but this was demolished by the city in the 20th century. The city acquired the 82-acre remnant of the Brooks estate after the death of Shepherd Brooks wife Clara in 1939. After the Second World War the city used the estate to provide housing for veterans, and in the 1960s and 70s it was used as a nursing home. From the 1970s through the late 1980s the Manor building was used as a group home for mentally-challenged adults. The proposal in 1992 to erect a cellphone tower near the Shepherd Brooks Manor created a firestorm from local residents. The Brooks Estate Preservation Association, a citizen-led group, was formed to change the City of Medford&#39;s lack of leadership. A four-year effort to preserve the Brooks Estate in perpetuity was successfully completed with the passage of the Conservation and Preservation Restriction in 1998, which permanently protected the Manor, Carriage house and 50-acres of land from development and cemetery expansion. Local conservationists then worked to permanently protect the property.</p><br>
<p>The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The Jonathan Fletcher House is a historic house at 285 High Street in Medford, Massachusetts. The 2.5 story wood frame house was built c. 1835; its builder clearly drew inspiration from designs published by Asher Benjamin, and is an excellent example of transitional Federal-Greek Revival architecture. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Jonathan Fletcher House is located roughly midway between the village centers of Medford and West Medford, on the south side of High Street at its junction with Hastings Lane. The setting includes a period granite retaining wall, with steps and a hitching post. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a front gable roof and shingled exterior. The front facade is three bays wide, its first floor left bays sheltered by a deep porch supported by six Tuscan columns. The main entrance is in the right bay, sheltered by a glassed vestibule. A two-story ell extends to the right, its gable roof perpendicular to and lower than the main roof. The interior retains a number of original features and finishes, some of them closely copied from pattern books published by Asher Benjamin.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1835 by Jonathan Fletcher, on land that had previously seen industrial use as a tannery by the locally prominent Brooks family. There is some evidence suggesting the ell is older than the main block: documentation indicates a house was standing here in 1795, and the paneling and hearth locations of the ell are suggestive that there was once a central chimney in the structure.</p><br>
<p>The Joseph K. Manning House is a historic house at 35&ndash;37 Forest Street in Medford, Massachusetts. Built in 1875, this three story wood frame house is the most elaborate Second Empire house in the city. The most prominent feature of this architecturally complex building is a hexagonal pavilion attached to its porch at the western corner. It has an elaborate jigsaw-cut frieze and Stick style decorative woodwork, with a balustrade with heavy turned balusters. The house&#39;s mansard roof is shingled in multiple bands of colored slate, and pierced by pedimented dormers. At the upper roof line there is iron cresting. The house was built for Joseph King Manning, the son of a wealthy lumber dealer.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The John H. McGill House is a historic house at 56 Vernon Street in Medford, Massachusetts. Built in 1902 to a design by local architect Robert Coit, it is one of the city&#39;s finest examples of Colonial Revival architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The McGill House stands at northwest corner of Vernon and Mystic Streets, on a hill overlooking the village of West Medford and facing a small park. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof, shingled exterior, and stone foundation. The main facade faces south, and is arranged symmetrically into three parts, with pilasters at the corners and between the sections. The outer sections have rounded bays with three windows on each level, and a two-window gabled dormer in the roof above, punctuated by finialed posts at the corners. The center bay has the main entrance, sheltered by a flat-roofed porch supported by grouped Tuscan columns. On the second floor above are group of three rectangular sash windows, arranged in an inverted Palladian form, with upper sashes that have diamond-and-lancet lights.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1902, to a design by regionally known architect Robert Coit. John H. McGill, for whom it was built, was a manufacturer of grindstones whose wealth was reputed to be great because of the elaborate style of his home. This house is the only one in Medford attributed to Coit, who lived in neighboring Winchester. The house&#39;s interior is somewhat lavishly appointed, with carved limestone fireplace surrounds and wood paneling.</p><br>
<p>The Middlesex Fells Reservoirs Historic District is a historic district roughly bounded by Pond St., Woodland Rd., I-93, and MA 28 in Stoneham and Medford, Massachusetts. It encompasses a portion of the Middlesex Fells Reservation, a state park managed by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation . The principal features of the district are three reservoirs and their associated gate houses and pumping stations, which were developed by the Metropolitan District Commission  starting in the late 19th century. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The most prominent and visible feature of the district is Spot Pond, a large body of water on the east side of Interstate 93 in Stoneham. The pond was used as a passive reservoir by surrounding towns prior to its acquisition by the MDC. The MDC replaced several town pumping stations with a single station (separately listed on the National Register in 1984), and constructed a gate house adjacent. Also found in the same area on the eastern shore of the pond is the John Bottume House, a 19th-century stone house that now serves as the reservations visitors center. The MDC also enlarged the ponds capacity, and converted it for use as a storage reservoir providing water to the communities north of Boston. There is a second gatehouse on Spot Pond, at the southern end (straddling the Stoneham-Medford line).</p><br>
<p>The MDC also constructed two smaller reservoirs within the Fells. The Fells Reservoir is located in the southeastern part of the reservation. Because it was sited in existing parkland, it was given a deliberately naturalistic appearance. It was designed by the noted Olmsted Brothers firm, and its gatehouse was built to a design by Shepley, Rutan, and Coolidge.</p><br>
<p>The US Post Office&ndash;Medford Main is a historic post office at 20 Forest Street in Medford, Massachusetts. Built in 1937, it is a fine example of construction work funded by the Public Works Administration, a jobs program of the 1930s. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The main Medford Post Office is set on the west side of Forest Street, just north of the central business districts main intersection. The front portion of the building is a seven-bay brick structure, set on a high foundation. The central three bays project forward and upward, and are topped by a gabled roof with a modillioned marble pediment. The outer bays of the projection house tall windows, and the center one the entrance, which is reached via granite steps. The windows in the outer bays are set in recessed panels, with marble sills and lintels. The interior lobby space features terrazzo marble flooring, marble wainscoting, and dark woodwork. The service area, located to the right is topped by a mural depicting the citys historic shipbuilding and rum industries.</p><br>
<p>The buildings principal designing architect was Arthur Blakeslee, and it was built in 1937 with funding from the Public Works Administration (PWA), following that bodys guidelines for design and construction. The buildings location on a side street (as opposed to a more prominent corner or main street location) was an evolutionary step in the PWAs practices for post office location, allowing the mail handling area to be accessed from the side rather than the rear.</p><br>
<p>The John Wade House is a historic house located at 253 High Street in Medford, Massachusetts. It is locally significant as one of only two surviving early Cape style houses in the city.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The 1-1/2 story, timber-framed house has a side gable roof, a large central chimney, and a solid granite foundation. The main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance flanked by sidelight windows and pilasters. An ell and sunporch extend to the rear of the original main block. The house was built around 1784 by John Wade, a tanner. A later owner added the Greek Revival entrance surround</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 18, 1975. It is sometimes referred to locally as the "Pierce Tavern", although it was never used as such, and probably stood next door to a tavern.</p><br>
<p>The Addington Gardner House is a historic First Period house at 128 Hollis Street in Sherborn, Massachusetts. Its oldest portions dating to about 1730, it is one of the community&#39;s oldest surviving buildings, and a good example of transitional First-Second Period style. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Addington Gardner House stands in a rural residential area of southwestern Sherborn, at the northeast corner of Hollis Street and Western Avenue. It is a 2-12 story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. The main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance flanked by pilasters and topped by a corniced entablature. Windows are simply framed, with the second-floor windows butting against the eave. A single story ell, added c. 1800 projects from the rear, connecting the house to a later carriage house. The interior timbers show evidence of 18th-century construction methods consistent with a c. 1730 construction date. Beams are exposed in the front chambers of the main block, and the left front chamber has a fireplace surround with early Second Period carving.</p><br>
<p>The oldest portions of this house (possibly just the front rooms) were built c. 1730 by Addington Gardner. The house is a classic five-bay 2-1/2 story timber frame structure, with a large central chimney. The house remained in the Gardner family until 1911, when it was sold to a local farmer and politician.</p><br>
<p>Assington is a historic residence at 172 Forest Street in Sherborn, Massachusetts. Built in 1929–30 for an investment banker, it was the last, and also the grandest estate to be built in the town. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 3, 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Assington is located on the south side of Forest Street in rural eastern Sherborn, between the Rocky Narrows Reservation and Farm Road. The estate is set on 30 acre of mostly woods, with a winding drive leading south from the road to the main house. The house is set on a rise overlooking the Charles River, and features an allee from the south lawn down to the Charles. The main house is a large 2-1/2 story structure, finished in stucco and covered with a balustraded slate roof. The main block is 7 bays wide, with an enclosed and pedimented entry that is flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a fanlight. To the east is a large wing, and an arcaded porch runs along the west side. The south facade faces the river, and has a bowed central section that rises to interrupt the roof&#39;s balustrade. Outbuildings on the property include a caretaker house, tea house, and service structures.</p><br>
<p>Assington was built in 1929–1930 for George and Muriel Saltonstall Lewis, to designs by architect William Truman Aldrich (1880–1966). Aldrich in his design sought to emulate the design and setting of English country houses, and worked with New York City-based landscape designer Inno Chenti. The estate is named for the Gurdon estate in Assington, West Suffolk, although its design more closely resembles Heaton Hall in Manchester. The allee leading down to the river faces the estate of Leverett Saltonstall, Muriel&#39;s brother. George Lewis was an investment advisor for a Boston investment firm.</p><br>
<p>The portion of the original estate, fronting on the Charles, was given by the Lewises to The Trustees of Reservations, and is now part of the Rocky Narrows Reservation.</p><br>
<p>The Bullen–Stratton–Cozzen House is a historic First Period house at 52 Brush Hill Road in Sherborn, Massachusetts. Its oldest portion is estimated to date to about 1680, and the building reflects changes in taste and use over the intervening centuries. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Bullen–Stratton–Cozzen House is located on the north side of Brush Hill Road, a rural country road in northwestern Sherborn. It is set in bend in the road, and is set facing roughly south, not far from Course Brook, a typical First Period siting. The main block of the house is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with a side gable roof, twin interior chimneys and clapboard siding. A leanto section, apparently integral to its early construction, extends to the rear, with a later "Beverly jog" extending the leanto beyond the left side. The central entrance has a Greek Revival surround, that dates to c. 1840. It has narrow sidelights and pilasters with a distinctive Greek key motif that is unusual in the town.</p><br>
<p>The oldest portion of this house was probably built c. 1680 by Deacon Samuel Bullen, and early settler of the area. The main block was extended to its present size c. 1760 by Nathaniel Stratton, who married into the Bullen family, and was probably also responsible for the added Beverly jog. In the 19th century the house belonged to Isaac Cozzen, who operated a sawmill nearby. The house&#39;s Colonial Revival porches were added around 1910, when the property was being used as a vacation house.</p><br>
<p>The Charles D. Lewis House is a historic house at 81 Hunting Lane in Sherborn, Massachusetts. It is a two-story wood frame structure, set on a brick and rubblestone foundation, and exhibits informal Shingle style massing with elements of formal Colonial Revival detail. The house is built in a wide V-shape opening to the north, its main entrance south-facing with porches, but, within the angled facades to the north, a circular driveway and port-cochere entry, supported by Tuscan columns. It was built as a gentlemans farm and one of the towns earliest summer residences circa 1905, by Charles D. Lewis, a businessman whose family owned Lewis Wharf in Boston.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Charles Holbrook House is a historic house at 137 S. Main Street  in Sherborn, Massachusetts. Built c. 1870-75, this modest house is the town&#39;s finest example of Second Empire styling. It was built for Charles Albert Holbrook , whose family operated a large apple cider mill in town. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 3, 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The house is located on the east side of South Main Street, at the northern edge of the rural village of South Sherborn. It is a 1-1/2, timber-framed structure, with a flared slate mansard roof and clapboard siding. A polygonal window bay projects from the right side of the front facade, with a flat-roof that has a bracketed cornice. The main roof line is also studded with paired brackets. The front entrance is shelter by a portico supported by slender square posts. A garage stands to the right of the house.</p><br>
<p>Although modest in its scale, it has high-style decoration unusual for a relatively rural location. A house at 5 Washington Street was a virtual copy of this one, until its mansard roof was destroyed by fire. This house was owned for many years by members of the Holbrook family, a major local producer of apple cider. The cider mill, of Jonathan Holbrook and Sons (Charles and John) operated between 1853 and 1909. It was located nearby in South Sherborn, and was billed as the world&#39;s largest cider-making operation.</p><br>
<p>The Clark–Northrup House is a historic house at 93 Maple Street in Sherborn, Massachusetts. Built c. 1845–55, it is a locally unusual example of a Greek Revival house with a more traditional Georgian side-gable roof. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Clark–Northrup House is located on the south side of Maple Street, a local through street leading west from Sherborn center. It is screened from the road by trees, and is accessed via a semicircular drive. The house is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with a side gable roof, central chimney, clapboard siding, and a granite foundation. The center entry is sheltered by a flat-roof porch, supported by square posts with Doric capitals. Doric pilasters rise at the building corners to a broad entablature. The ground-floor front windows are taller than those of the second floor, and are topped by a shallow projecting cornices.</p><br>
<p>The house is estimated to have been built c. 1845–55, and was probably around the time of Nathaniel Clark&#39;s marriage in 1844. Clark was the son of Rev. Amos Clark, who lived across the street in a 1729 house. The house is locally unusual, as most Greek Revival houses have a front-facing gable and are three bays wide. Nathaniel Clark sold the house to Isaiah Northrup, a farmer, in the late 1860s or early 1870s.</p><br>
<p>The Daniel Morse III House is a historic First Period house at 210 Farm Road in Sherborn, Massachusetts. With its oldest portion dating to about 1710, it is one of the town&#39;s oldest surviving buildings. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Daniel Morse III House stands in a rural area of eastern Sherborn, on the west side of Farm Road north of its junction with Forest Road. It is a 2-1/2 story timber frame structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and shingled exterior. At the rear the roof extends to the first floor, giving the house a saltbox profile. The front facade is three bays wide, with a center entrance flanked by pilasters and topped by a transom window and gabled pediment. An ell extends to the rear of the main block. Other buildings on the property include a barn and chicken coop.</p><br>
<p>The oldest portion of this house was built c. 1710, and is one of a handful of First Period houses in the town. Originally a three-bay structure with off-center chimney, it was extended to its present five-bay configuration with central chimney in the late 18th century. Daniel Morse III, who built the house, was the son of one of Sherborn&#39;s first settlers, who acquired 800 acre of surrounding land in 1656. The house was sold out of the Morse family in the late 18th century. The barn, south of the house, was built in 1900 in the Shingle style.</p><br>
<p>Congregation Agudath Sholom  is a historic Jewish synagogue at 29 Grove Street in Stamford, Connecticut. The original synagogue building was later converted into a Christian church building, the Faith Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church.</p><br>
<p>It&#39;s one of multiple synagogues considered in a study of NRHP eligibility.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Agudath Sholom congregation website states that on September 7, 1889, twenty-two members formally declared themselves as "Agudath Sholom Synagogue&quot meaning "knot for peace" or "society for peace". The congregation constructed their first synagogue, the Greyrock Synagogue, from 1904 through 1908. The congregation used the building until February 1932 when the Greyrock Synagogue was destroyed in a fire.</p><br>
<p>In order to meet the demands of its growing congregation, funds were raised for a new synagogue. A fund raiser for $1.2 million was done to raise the necessary capital; it was announced that $860,000 was made by February 1963.</p><br>
<p>In 1965, the congregation completed and dedicated a new synagogue on Strawberry Hill Avenue and Colonial Road. The synagogue currently resides at 301 Strawberry Hill Avenue. The Faith Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church now uses the Grove St synagogue.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>Located at 29 Grove Street in Stamford, Connecticut, the Agudath Sholom Synagogue was the second synagogue of the congregation. According to the National Register of Historic Places, the ground breaking occurred on September 12, 1933, and the final dedication was on April 27, 1941. According to the congregation&#39;s website, the Agudath Sholom Synagogue was completed in 1938 and the "Chanukkat Habayit dedication occurred on the High Holidays". The construction delayed by funding difficulties that resulted from the Great Depression. The synagogue is a rectangular brick building constructed on a high basement. The building features a prominent rose window depicting the Star of David.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>While it was originally a synagogue, the Faith Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church continues to use the building as a church, but this did not impact the "National Landmark" status bestowed upon the building. For the National Register of Historic Places, it was submitted under Criterion C because it was "Constructed as a Jewish house of worship, located in an urban setting, exhibits integrity of design and workmanship and constructed prior to 1945."</p><br>
<p>Lake Neatahwanta is located in and near the city of Fulton in Oswego County, New York. It covers approximately 750 acre of which about one-half is located within the city, while the other half is located in the town of Granby. Neatahwanta translates to "little lake near the big lake" in Iroquois.</p><br>
<p>It is currently prohibited to swim in the lake or to allow pets to have contact with the water due to pollution and microbial growth. It is currently being dredged in hope to have it open for public use again. It is expected to be fully clean in about 2 years.</p><br>
<h2>Fishing</h2><br>
<p>Fish species present in the lake are black crappie, pumpkinseed sunfish, bowfin, largemouth bass, northern pike, tiger muskie, white perch, black bullhead, bluegill, striped bass, and yellow perch. There is city owned access for a fee, with a hard surface ramp located on the north shore off Phillips Street in the city of Fulton campground.</p><br>
<p>The Eastern Slope Inn is a historic hotel at 2760 White Mountain Highway  in North Conway, Carroll County, New Hampshire. Built in 1926, it is one of the community&#39;s most prominent examples of large-scale Colonial Revival architecture, and is historically important as a major element in the popularization of downhill skiing in the area. The inn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Eastern Slopes Inn stands at the northern fringe of the commercial downtown area of North Conway, on the west side of White Mountain Highway, the towns principal thoroughfare. It is a three-story wood frame structure, with a hip roof crowned at its center by an open widows walk. A four-column pedimented gable projects at the center of the main facade, and single-story porches extend from it to either side; that on the left has been enclosed. The interior features richly decorated public spaces.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was built in 1926. It was designed by Harold E. Mason of Haynes & Mason, architects of Fitchburg, Massachusetts, with apparent inspiration from the Mount Vernon estate in Virginia. It was the third hotel on the site, the first two (dating to 1864) having succumbed to fire. Originally the Hotel Randall, it was purchased in 1937 by Harvey Gibson, who renamed it the Eastern Slope Inn as part of a larger effort to promote downhill skiing in the area. Gibson developed the nearby Cranmore Mountain Resort into one of the most successful ski areas of the time, and used the Eastern Slope Inn as a year-round facility.</p><br>
<p>In 1977 the inn was purchased by Eastern Mountain Sports and converted into a retail establishment. As part of this conversion many of the public spaces were altered to accommodate retail functions. Around 1982 it was sold to an ownership group, which has rehabilitated the property and converted it back into a hotel.</p><br>
<p>The North Conway 5 and 10 Cent Store is a historic general store at 2683 Main Street in North Conway, New Hampshire. Built about 1840 and significantly modified in 1900, it is one of a small number of surviving dime stores in New Hampshire, and is architecturally unusual in the state for its "boom town" false front facade. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The North Conway 5 and 10 Cent Store occupies a prominent position on the east side of Main Street in downtown North Conway, at its junction with Kearsarge Street. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame building, with a gabled roof that is obscured by the western-style false front, which extends a full three stories. The ground floor has a single storefront, with plate glass windows flanking a recessed entrance, and a secondary entrance at the far right. Three sash windows are irregularly spaced on the second floor, and a single sash window appears at the center of the third floor. The interior&#39;s appearance dates to the turn of the 20th century, with a tin ceiling and plaster walls with vertical board wainscoting, counter displays of glass and wood, and maple floors. An ell at the rear of the store has linoleum flooring and acoustic paneling on the walls, with a dropped ceiling above.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building&#39;s original construction date is estimated to be about 1840, but its present appearance dates to a major renovation c. 1900. The rear ell was added about 1940. The false front is the only one of its type in North Conway. The store has been in continuous operation since 1939, under several different owners. At the time of its listing on the National Register in 2004, it was one of only two known 5 and 10 stores in the state.</p><br>
<p>Ray Lake is a lake located in Wells Gray Provincial Park, east-central British Columbia, Canada. It is fed by and drained by Falls Creek which flows into the Clearwater River at its outlet from Clearwater Lake.</p><br>
<h2>Naming</h2><br>
<p>Ray Lake and Mount Ray to the west are named for John Bunyan Ray who homesteaded near The Horseshoe on the Clearwater River in 1911. He cleared land and built a small cabin beside what is now called Alice Lake. A larger cabin was built in 1929 which still stands today. In 1932, after 21 years of a solitary lifestyle, at the age of 54, he married Alice Ludtke who was only 20. They raised three children on their remote farm, Nancy, Doug and Robert. The Ray family left their farm in 1946 so the children could benefit from a school education. A year later, John was still moving equipment and the family&#39;s belongings out to Clearwater on the long trail south through the Clearwater Valley. His last trip to the farm was in December 1947 and he died there of a heart attack. Alice died in 1959 at age 47 from cancer. Their graves are near the house.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>Visits to Ray Lake are very rare due to difficult access. The nearest trail is the overgrown Kostal Lake Trail, over 5 km to the south. Falls Creek is impassable for boats. Float planes and helicopters are not allowed to land at Ray Lake.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Mount Ray, west of Ray Lake, erupted about 20,000 years ago when glacial ice just covered the mountain. Soon the eruption melted through the ice. This formation is called a tuya. The ice covered the mountain again after the eruption ended. Mount Ray has a distinctly red summit and can be seen from Clearwater Lake.</p><br>
<p>Dragon Cone, just east of Ray Lake, erupted about 7,500 years ago and the lava, called the Dragons Tongue, flowed 15 km down Falls Creek Valley. Ray Lake was dammed and enlarged by this lava. The toe of this lava flow dammed the Clearwater River and raised the level of Clearwater Lake by about 5 m. A hiking trail from Clearwater Lake Campground gives access to the Dragons Tongue where it consists of piles of jagged aa lava.</p><br>
<p>Big Mink Lake is a fresh water lake in the St. Lawrence River drainage basin in Hastings Highlands, Hastings County, Ontario, Canada. It is about 5 km west of the community of Lake St. Peter on Highway 127 and 25 km northwest of Bancroft.</p><br>
<h2>Hydrology</h2><br>
<p>Big Mink Lake is a long narrow lake punctuated by several narrows and with a forked north end. Card Bay forms the northwest arm of the fork, and the three narrows from north to south are First Narrows, Red Pine Narrows and Crooked Narrows. The lake is about 7.2 km long and 0.7 km wide and lies at an elevation of 402 m. The primary inflow is Mink Creek from Upper Mink Lakes at the northeast. There are seven unnamed creeks as secondary inflows: at the northeast, east from Sud Lake, southeast, south, southwest, west, and northwest. The primary outflow, controlled by the Mink Lake Dam, is also Mink Creek, southwest to Moffat Pond, which eventually flows via the York River, Madawaska River and Ottawa River to the St. Lawrence River.</p><br>
<p>Boathouse on the Lullwater of the Lake in Prospect Park is located in the eastern part of Prospect Park on the northeast shore of The Lake, southeast of the Ravine District in Brooklyn, New York. It was built in 1905-07 to a classical design of Helmle, Hudswell and Huberty, protégés of McKim, Mead and White.</p><br>
<p>In September 1964 the Parks Department was within forty-eight hours of demolishing the Boathouse.</p><br>
<p>At the time the structure was underutilized; the boat concession only operated on weekends and the Boathouse was visited by fewer than ten people an hour, even on the busiest summer weekends.</p><br>
<p>The Boathouse shared many features with the McKim, Mead and White masterpiece Penn Station, whose recent demolition had been controversial. The resulting historic preservation movement generated public pressure to save the Boathouse. Though saved, nearly ten years would elapse before restorations would begin on the structure under Commissioner August Heckscher.</p><br>
<p>Further restorations were required in the 1980s under Commissioner Gordon Davis to repair damage from a leaking roof. After twenty years as a visitors center and park ranger headquarters, the Boathouse was restored for a third time in 2000. It now houses the Audubon Center, the Audubon Society&#39;s only urban interpretive center in the United States.</p><br>
<p>The Boathouse&#39;s fortunes over the last third of the 20th century parallel the larger, and still ongoing, recovery of the park. In the 1980s, the Parks Department began forming partnerships with privately funded, non-profit organizations to help relieve shortfalls in park management.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<p>The Boathouse was seen in Scorsese&#39;s movie: The Age Of Innocence (1993) as the Boston park where Archer Newland(Day-Lewis) meets Ellen Olenska(Pfeiffer)</p><br>
<p>Fiftytwo Ridge is a mountain ridge in east-central British Columbia, Canada, located just southwest of Battle Mountain at the southeastern end of Wells Gray Provincial Park.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Fiftytwo Ridge is a volcanic feature associated with the Wells Gray-Clearwater volcanic field. It is a subglacial volcano that formed in the Pleistocene epoch when this area was buried beneath the Cordilleran Ice Sheet during the Quaternary glaciation. The eruptions melted the ice, so the hot magma contacted with water and caused violent explosions. About 20 small craters can be found today. Some contain fine examples of scoria, an extraordinarily light-weight rock with numerous air-holes. When hiking here early in summer, some of the craters may be filled with runoff water (called maars) and are less obvious.</p><br>
<h2>Naming</h2><br>
<p>Fiftytwo Ridge has only been called that since 1952 when a biological study was conducted here by Ralph Ritcey and Pat Martin. The name has many different versions such as Fifty Two Ridge, Fifty-Two Ridge and 52 Ridge, but the correct spelling according to BC Geographical Names is one word, Fiftytwo Ridge. As early as 1935, it was known as Bull Ridge and the valley between it and Battle Mountain was called Bull Valley. Clearwater Valley ranchers Laurence and Charlie Ludtke often guided big-game hunters into these meadows, in search of the prized bull caribou.</p><br>
<p>The Flatiron is the name for an eroded volcanic outcrop in east-central British Columbia, Canada, located in Wells Gray Provincial Park.</p><br>
<p>The Flatiron is 90 m high, 500 m long and generally about 125 m wide. It is flanked by Hemp Creek to the west and Trout Creek to the east.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>About 200,000 years ago, a lake formed in the Hemp Canyonlands with its upper end near the meeting of Trout and Hemp creeks. The lake bottom was about 60 m above the present bottom of the Hemp Creek Valley. The surface of the lake was the rim of the Hemp cliffs a few kilometres south of The Flatiron. The lake was created by a blockage downstream on the Clearwater River, but its actual location is unknown, and this could have been an ice dam, a landslide or a lava flow. The Flatiron erupted into this lake and was once much bigger than today. This action is called a ponded lava flow. The lava used to extend right across the Hemp Creek Valley, but floods from melting glaciers carried away the lava and left The Flatiron as a remnant. The water flow might have been 100 times the size of Hemp Creek today. The lava that is exposed today cooled very slowly and formed into columns, one of the park’s finest examples of columnar basalt. The columns that make up the Flatiron have been falling away regularly and piling up at the base, so the Flatiron keeps gets thinner.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>A one-hour hike from Clearwater Valley Road (also called Wells Gray Park Road) leads to a viewpoint of the Hemp Canyonlands with the Flatiron in the distance. After another 30 minutes hiking, it is necessary to leave the trail and bushwhack to the base of the Flatiron. As the cliffs almost surround the Flatiron, the only access to the top is a scramble from the west side above Hemp Creek.</p><br>
<p>The Farwell Building is a commercial building and residential building located at 1249 Griswold Street in Downtown Detroit, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1974, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Farwell Building is an eight-story rectangular building built of brick, and designed in the Chicago school architectural style. The front façade makes extensive use of glass, and includes both horizontal and vertical elements. A horizontal frieze crosses the façade at the entrance level, and a second frieze decorated with triglyphs and metopes adorns the second story. Ionic pilasters stand at the corners of the building and flanking the central entrance. Iron grillwork decorates the entrance transom, and the interior features a Tiffany mosaic ceiling, brass elevator doors, and marble walls.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Farwell Building is named for the estate of Jesse H. and Emmer J. Farwell. The building was completed in 1915 from plans made by architect Harrie W. Bonnah. The decorative (and structural) ironwork was made by the Russell Wheel and Foundry Company of Detroit.</p><br>
<p>In 1956, the Farwell was significantly altered: the original terra cotta cornice with Pewabic tiles was removed, and significant changes were made to the ground level façade. Higgins Management Company purchased the Farwell during the 1970s and renovated the building for retail office space. However, since 1984, the building has been completely vacant.</p><br>
<p>In October 2009, the State of Michigan announced it was in negotiations to buy the building from the current owners through the federal Neighborhood Stabilization Program with a final sale price expected to be over US$3 million, less past-due property taxes owed on the building. In April 2012, Lansing-based Karp and Associates submitted a successful bid to restore the building and the nearby Detroit Savings Bank Building to house residential units, offices and retail space. Part of the renovations will include recreating the cornice removed in 1957.</p><br>
<p>The Jackson Falls National Register Historic District encompasses the historic village center of Jackson, New Hampshire. It consists of a cluster of buildings centered on the crossing of Jackson Village Road over the Wildcat River, extending on both sides of the river along Five Mile Circuit Road  and Carter Notch Road, both of which are part of New Hampshire Route 16B. Most of the properties in the district were built between the 1860s and the 1930s, and are reflective of the community&#39;s growth as a summer resort area. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Jackson was first settled in the 1770s, and was incorporated as "Adams" in 1800; it was renamed Jackson in 1828, after President Andrew Jackson. At first agricultural in nature, the area&#39;s scenic beauty began to draw artists and tourists. By the late 1840s a small tourist industry had arisen. Larger hotels began to be built in Jackson in the 1860s, with further growth spurred by completion of the Portland and Ogdensburg Railroad in the 1870s. The village center of Jackson Falls experienced its largest period of growth between 1880 and the 1930s.</p><br>
<p>The village of Jackson Falls consists of a mix of civic, religious, commercial, and private residential buildings. The most prominent building is probably the Wentworth Castle, which is on the hillside above the Wentworth Hall resort hotel complex. Completed in 1891, it was designed by New York architect William Bates. The district also includes Jackson&#39;s 1901 library building, old (1897) town hall, and a community church built in 1846-47.</p><br>
<p>Woodlawn Cemetery, located in Fairmont, West Virginia is an example of the rural cemetery. It was laid out by Tell W. Nicolet of the firm of Morris and Knowles of Pittsburgh, PA. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district. Today, the cemetery covers 42 acre and has over 15,000 burials.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The cemetery was established in the early spring of 1875. Joseph R. Hamilton was climbing the fence between his fathers farm and that of Norval Barns. The loaded rifle he was carrying accidentally discharged, killing him. His fathers decision to "bury him where he lay" led to the families establishing a small burying ground. They opened the fence line between their properties and enclosed about a quarter of an acre to use for family burials.</p><br>
<p>Ten years later, in December 1885, the Woodlawn Cemetery Company was incorporated and plots were offered for sale to the larger community. 5 acre were purchased from each of the land owners, Elmus Hamilton and Norval Barns. Many of the early leaders of the Fairmont community were laid to rest here. Among them is Francis Harrison Pierpont, the Governor of the Restored State of Virginia from 1861–1868, his wife Julia and three of their four children.</p><br>
<h2>Notable burials</h2><br>
<p>Boaz Fleming, the founder of Fairmont, is here with his wife, Elizabeth. Other members of his family are here as well, including Clarissa Fleming Hamilton, his grandson Elmus Hamilton, owner of the Hamilton farm, and great-grandson, Joseph R. Hamilton. Another descendant is Aretas B. Fleming, eighth governor of West Virginia. A lawyer, Mr. Fleming was among the men who created the Fairmont Development Company and worked to develop Fairmont, West Virginia.</p><br>
<p>James Otis Watson is considered the father of the bituminous coal industry in north central West Virginia. He and Pierpont owned the first coal mine to be commercially viable following the completion of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad linking Fairmont with the eastern seaboard markets. One of his daughters married Aretas B. Fleming. His sons, James Edwin Watson, Sylvanus Lamb Watson and Clarence Wayland Watson are also buried here.</p><br>
<p>A governor, a Congressman and a national Senator are rolled into one in Matthew Mansfield Neely.</p><br>
<p>The Edwards Plain–Dowses Corner Historic District is a predominantly residential historic district encompassing an area where light industrial activity took place from the late 18th century to the early 20th century. It extends along North Main Street between Eliot and Everett Streets in Sherborn, Massachusetts, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>Sherborn was a sparsely populated town until the time of the American Revolutionary War. The Edwards Plain area, in the south of the district, was probably named for Edward West, who was appointed the local schoolmaster in 1694. Dowses Corner, at the north end of the district, is named for Ebenezer Dowse, who settled in Sherborn after fleeing Charlestown before the 1775 Battle of Bunker Hill. Dowse became a significant figure in the local industrial pursuits, establishing an early tannery in the buggy lowlands behind his house. Members of the Dowse family built a number of the houses in the area, predominantly Greek Revival houses built c. 1840-60. Dowse&#39;s efforts were the beginning of a cottage industry in shoe-making which persisted into the early 20th century. Most of the buildings associated with this and other small industry have either been lost to fire, been converted to residential uses, or moved out of the area.</p><br>
<p>One of the more notable industrial buildings to survive is the only stone building in the district. Nathaniel Partridge in 1796 built a stone structure to house a factory for manufacturing edged tools, which still stands at 53-55 North Main Street, adjacent to the Federal-style Harvey Partridge House at 51 North Main. The Plain School (built 1834) at 60 North Street, is the only building in the district that is not now residential in use.</p><br>
