<p>Boston Manufacturing Company Housing are historic residential housing blocks at 380-410 and 153-165 River Street in Waltham, Massachusetts. The housing was for the Boston Manufacturing Company , the earliest modern manufacturing facility in the United States. The housing was built in the nineteenth century and the two blocks of buildings were separately added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>153-155 and 163-165 River Street</h2><br>
<p>These two buildings are located on the north side of River Street, between School Avenue and Willow Street a short way east of Waltham center. Both are 2-1/2 story brick buildings with mansard roofs providing a full third floor. They have symmetrical four-bay facades, with a pair of entrances in the center bays. Doors and windows are set in segmented-arch openings with brickwork hoods. The building at 163-165 retains the original slate of its mansard roof. These two buildings were built by the company about 1870, probably for upper-level employees, and are a contrast to wood-frame worker housing (now heavily altered) that stand behind them.</p><br>
<h2>380-410 River Street</h2><br>
<p>380-410 River Street consists of a pair of rowhouses located on the south side of River Street, between Jackson and Elm Streets. The eastern of them includes six units in a wood-frame structure, while the western one has ten units in a brick structure. Both are two stories in height, with gabled roofs. Entrances to the units are arranged in pairs, sheltered either by a hood supported by Italianate brackets, or by a portico supported by posts. These units were built by the BMC in the 1880s, as it expanded eastward. This type of housing was once quite common in the city, and these rowhouses are one of only two known groups to survive relatively intact (the others are on Lawton Place).</p><br>
<p>The Brigham House is a historic house at 235 Main Street in Waltham, Massachusetts. Built about 1893, it is an architecturally distinctive hybrid of Queen Anne, Shingle, and Colonial Revival styling. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Brigham House stands in eastern Waltham, on the north side of busy Main Street (United States Route 20), at that point mainly residential in character. It is set just opposite Gilbert Road, facing south on a small lot. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. It has the asymmetrical appearance and irregular roof lines typical of Queen Anne styling, but the elements assembled in that manner are predominantly Colonial Revival and Shingle. A central projecting section with a hip roof has an extended eave with modillions, and windows with diamond lights. The left side of the main facade has a roof line that descends to the first floor, with a bell-shaped gable dormer. A Colonial Revival entry porch projects from a left-of-center position; it is enclosed in paned glass, but has square corner pillars.</p><br>
<p>The land on which the house stands was in the early 19th century part of the Bright family estate. The family began seriously subdividing the estate for residential development in the early 1890s, and the lot for this house was sold in 1892. Ella and Elijah Brigham were the buyers; he was an insurance agent working in Boston. This was one of the last houses to be built on this stretch of Main Street before a post-World War I building boom.</p><br>
<p>The Building at 202–204 Charles Street in Waltham, Massachusetts is a well-preserved example of multi-unit residential housing built in the city in the early decades of the 20th century. It was built in 1913, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Charles Street is a secondary east-west road on the west side of downtown Waltham, running roughly midway between Main Street (United States Route 20) and the Charles River. 202-204 Charles Street is on the south side of the street, roughly midway between Prospect and Floyd Streets, in an area densely built with other residential properties. The main building is set near the street, with a five-bay garage at the rear of the property. The main building is 2-1/2 stories in height, of wood-frame construction, and is covered with a flat roof and aluminum siding. Despite the application of siiding, it retains a number of well-preserved Colonial Revival features, including pillared supports and turned balusters on its two-level porch, flanking projecting bays on both sides of the porch, and an extended cornice; modillions once found on the cornice have been removed. The two entrances are identical, with doors that have oval windows framed by sidelight windows.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1913 for Henry Milesky, a resident elsewhere on Charles Street, and has historically been a rental property. Most of its documented occupants have been in working-class professions.</p><br>
<p>The Central Square Historic District is a historic district encompassing the central town common of the city of Waltham, Massachusetts, and several commercial buildings facing the common or in its immediate vicinity. The common is bounded by Carter, Moody, Main, and Elm Streets; the district includes fourteen buildings, which are located on Main, Elm, Lexington, and Church Streets, on the north and east side of the common. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>Although Waltham was settled in the 17th century and incorporated as a town in 1738, it had no recognizable town center until the 1830s, when the nearby Boston Manufacturing Company gave the town the land that now serves as its central square. The area was further enhanced as a central location by the arrival of the railroad, and the construction of the Moody Street bridge across the Charles River, both in the 1840s. Waltham was incorporated as a city in 1884. Its City Hall, a 1924–26 Georgian Revival building designed by William Rogers Greely, stands on the common at the corner of Main and Elm Streets. The oldest municipal building in the district is the 1887 fire station at 25 Lexington Street; it is a brick Queen Anne structure designed by local architect Samuel Patch. It stands next to the 1890 police station building, designed by Hartwell & Richardson. A row of commercial buildings stand across Main Street, facing the common. Many of these were designed by architect Henry W. Hartwell, as was the Music Hall building at 15 Elm Street. Most of these buildings were built between 1880 and 1920.</p><br>
<h2>Waltham Common</h2><br>
<p>The common itself is a rectangular area about 2.4 acre in size, out of which a smaller rectangle has been cut where City Hall is located. It is planted with mature trees, and has a network of paths as well as four major monuments. The oldest is a granite obelisk with urn designed by George Meacham and placed in 1867. A statue of native son, Governor of Massachusetts, and American Civil War General Nathaniel Prentice Banks, designed by Henry Hudson Kitson was placed in 1909, and a copy of "The Hiker", a memorial to veterans of the Spanish–American War, designed by Kitsons wife Theodora, was placed in the early 20th century. Lastly, a memorial celebrating the citys centennial was placed in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Transportation</h2><br>
<p>Central Square is adjacent to the Waltham commuter rail station and is served by six MBTA bus lines:</p><br>

<p>The Charles Baker House is a historic house at 107 Adams Street in Waltham, Massachusetts. Built about 1880, it is one of the city&#39;s best examples of Stick style architecture, and a good example of worker housing built for employees of the Waltham Watch Company. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Charles Baker House is located one block east of the former Waltham Watch Company factory, at the northwest corner of Adams and Cherry Streets. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure with a cross-gable roof and clapboarded exterior. A gable end faces Adams Street, two bays wide, with a projecting single-story bay window in the left bay, its roof eave with small wooden brackets. The main roof has brackets at the corners, and Stick style woodwork in not just the main gable, but in the gables of smaller roof dormers and the projecting side gables. Single-story porches with spindled valances flank the Adams Street facade. Most windows are framed by moulding with shallow cornices above and tab feet below the sill.</p><br>
<p>The land on which the house stands was sold by the Waltham Watch Company in 1868 to Charles Baker. A house of different configuration is recorded as standing here in 1874; the present house appears on an 1886 map. It is a rare example of a worker&#39;s boarding house built for employees of the Waltham Watch Company. Charles Baker was a company employee of unknown position, and lived here until about 1912. He also owned a second house (119-121 Adams St.) nearby as a rental property.</p><br>
<p>The Waltham Public Library is the public library of the city of Waltham, Massachusetts. Its main location, at 735 Main Street, is in the Francis Buttrick Library, an architecturally significant Georgian Revival building built in 1915, funded by a bequest from Francis Buttrick, a major landowner in the city. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The Buttrick Library building is located on the north side of Main Street, between Exchange and Spring Streets. The front portion of the building, its historic portion, is a tall single-story brick structure, with round-arch windows and a projecting semicircular entry pavilion. The building is topped by a balustrade. Additions extend the building to the rear, providing space for modern stacks and services.</p><br>
<p>The Waltham Public Library was established in 1865 with a gift of 3,700 volumes from the Rumford Institute for Mutual Instruction, an 1826 organization established by the proprietors of the Boston Manufacturing Company as a service to its employees. It grew over the rest of the 19th century by the gifts of other collections, and was at first housed in the Welch Building at Charles and Moody Streets. In 1894, Francis Buttrick, then the city&#39;s largest landowner, bequested funds for the construction of a permanent home. The oldest portion of the building was designed by the Boston firm Loring & Leland, and was completed in 1915, it having taken twenty years to locate and acquire a suitable parcel of land. A gallery space was added in 1933, and a modern addition made to the rear later in the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The Charles Baker Property is a historic house at 119–121 Adams Street in Waltham, Massachusetts. Built about 1882, it is a well-preserved example of a period two-family residence built for workers of the American Watch Company. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Charles Baker Property is located one block east of the former Waltham Watch Company factory, at the northwest corner of Adams and Cherry Streets. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure with a cross-gable roof and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade has a pair of projecting polygonal bays rising two stories, and porches with Stick style decorative bracing on the left side where the unit entrances are located. Windows are topped by peaked lintels, and small decorative brackets are found at the corners of the roof.</p><br>
<p>The house was built c. 1881-83, probably by the American Watch Company, which then owned the lot. The lot was the site of Fuller-Bemis farmhouse, the main house of the farm that dominated Waltham&#39;s south side until the 1850s. The Watch Company purchased the farm in 1854, and retained ownership of this lot until the early 1880s. In 1886, the property was owned by Charles Baker, who also owned the house at 107 Adams Street and was a Watch Company employee. The house is a well-preserved example of a typical factory worker duplex of the period.</p><br>
<p>The Charles Byam House is a historic house at 337 Crescent Street in Waltham, Massachusetts. Built in 1886, it is a well-preserved example of a modestly scaled Queen Anne period residence. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Charles Byam House stands in southern Waltham, south of the former Waltham Watch Company factory, on the south side of Crescent Street. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a hip roof and clapboarded exterior. It has a three-part facade, with a projecting central section topped by a gable with a window in the point. The eaves have brackets at the corners, a detail repeated on the single-story porch that lines the front of the house.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1886 by Charles Byam, a foreman at the Waltham Watch Company, and is a well-preserved but modest example of Queen Anne styling. The land on which it stands was originally farmland from the Bemis family, purchased by the Waltham Improvement Company, a real estate development organization, in 1854. The lot was originally sold with restrictive covenants (now invalid, but common in the Company&#39;s sales) restricting ownership to Protestant citizens. The unidentified builder of the house is associated on a stylistic basis with several other houses in the neighborhood. The house remained in the Byam family into the 1920s.</p><br>
<p>The Charles Street Workers Housing Historic District is a residential historic district at 128–144 Charles Street in Waltham, Massachusetts. It consists of four houses on a single city block, all of which are well-preserved vernacular worker houses built in 1865. They are representative of the citys growth of the period, and typify housing built for the city&#39;s laborers. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The district is located on the south side of Charles Street, a predominantly densely-built residential street extending west from the city&#39;s Central Square. It consists of a single block of Charles Street, between Williams and Harvard Street, with four uniform houses on it. All are unpretentious vernacular 2-1/2 story wood frame buildings, with simple decorations, and only modest modern alterations. One of the buildings, that at 128-132 Charles, is a duplex; the others are single family houses. The styling of the houses is reminiscent of the Greek Revival, with only one of the three houses sporting a 20th-century porch.</p><br>
<p>The houses were constructed in 1865 by Edward Campbell, as part of a westward expansion of worker house along the street. The area in which they were built was populated mainly by Irish laborers, as evidenced by what is known of the owners and residents of these houses at the time, and by the use of Irish names for some of the area streets. Early occupants were described in city directories as laborers.</p><br>
<p>Beckwith Island is the eastern of three islands in southeastern Georgian Bay in Ontario, Canada. Its highest elevation is 226 m above sea level. Like its populated neighbour Christian Island to the west, and Hope Island to the northwest, the uninhabited island is part of an Ojibwa reserve. On the mainland, Cedar Point lies directly south of the island and Thunder Beach is located to the southeast of Beckwith Island. The island is a pristine, and ecologically sensitive island of over 800 acres , featuring sandy beaches and dunes, juniper bushes, as well as the rare and protected three-pronged awn grass, plus forests of oak, maple, birch and conifer trees and no development of any kind except for simple outhouses to serve boaters, campers and picnickers. Camping is permitted but you must obtain permission in advance from the local band council on Christian Island. The eastern side of Beckwith island is often a favourite place for boats to moor. Beckwith Island and the attached "Little Beckwith" are part of the Beausoleil First Nation.</p><br>
<p>There is currently no development on the island. There are two boat anchorage points. One on the north and another on the south side of the islands where the narrows of the two islands meet. Sandy beaches are at both anchorage points.</p><br>
<p>Mount Myōken is a 1,135.5 m mountain on the border of Yabu and Kami, Mikata, Hyogo, Japan. This mountain is one of Hyōgo 50, and a part of Hyonosen-Ushiroyama-Nagisan Quasi-National Park. The other name of this mountain is Mount Ishihara.</p><br>
<h2>Outline</h2><br>
<p>Mount Myōken is a mountain on the eastern edge of the Chūgoku Mountains. Nikkōin temple is located at the base of the mountain. Originally, the temple was halfway up the mountain,but the Haibutsu-Kishaku Order issued during the Meiji-era forced the move.</p><br>
<h2>Route</h2><br>
<p>This mountain has major two routes to the top. One is from Ishihara Bus Stop of Tantō Bus. The other is from Mount Sobu. From Ishihara Bus Stop, it takes about three hours to the top.</p><br>

<p>Loch Ness  is a large, deep, freshwater loch in the Scottish Highlands extending for approximately 37 km southwest of Inverness. Its surface is 52 ft above sea level. Loch Ness is best known for alleged sightings of the cryptozoological Loch Ness Monster, also known affectionately as "Nessie". It is connected at the southern end by the River Oich and a section of the Caledonian Canal to Loch Oich. At the northern end there is the Bona Narrows which opens out into Loch Dochfour, which feeds the River Ness and a further section of canal to Inverness. It is one of a series of interconnected, murky bodies of water in Scotland; its water visibility is exceptionally low due to a high peat content in the surrounding soil.</p><br>
<p>Loch Ness is the second largest Scottish loch by surface area at 56 km&sup2; after Loch Lomond, but due to its great depth, it is the largest by volume in the British Isles. Its deepest point is 230 m, making it the second deepest loch in Scotland after Loch Morar. A 2016 survey claimed to have discovered a crevice that pushed the depth to 889 ft but further research determined it to be a sonar anomaly. It contains more fresh water than all the lakes in England and Wales combined, and is the largest body of water in the Great Glen, which runs from Inverness in the north to Fort William in the south.</p><br>
<h2>Villages and places</h2><br>
<p>At Drumnadrochit is the "Loch Ness Centre and Exhibition" which examines the natural history and legend of Loch Ness. Boat cruises operate from various locations on the loch shore, giving visitors the chance to look for the "monster".</p><br>
<p>Urquhart Castle is located on the western shore, 2 km east of Drumnadrochit.</p><br>
<p>Lighthouses are located at Lochend (Bona Lighthouse) and Fort Augustus.</p><br>
<h2>Monster</h2><br>
<p>Loch Ness is thought by some to be the home of the Loch Ness Monster (also known as "Nessie"), a cryptid, reputedly a large unknown animal. It is similar to other supposed lake monsters in Scotland and elsewhere, though its description varies from one account to the next. Popular interest and belief in the animals existence has varied since it was first brought to the worlds attention in 1933</p><br>
<h2>Fish species</h2><br>
<p>The following fish species are native to Loch Ness. A number of others such as perch and roach have been introduced in the Loch or Caledonian Canal with various levels of success.</p><br>
<h2>Island</h2><br>
<p>Loch Ness has one island, Cherry Island, at the southwestern end of the loch, near Fort Augustus. It is an artificial island, known as a crannog, and was probably constructed during the Iron Age.</p><br>
<p>There was formerly a second island (Dog Island) which was submerged when the water level was raised during the construction of the Caledonian Canal.</p><br>
<h2>Hydroelectricity</h2><br>
<p>Loch Ness serves as the lower storage reservoir for the Foyers pumped-storage hydroelectric scheme, which was the first of its kind in the United Kingdom. The turbines were originally used to provide power for a nearby aluminium smelting plant, but now electricity is generated and supplied to the National Grid. Another scheme, the 100 megawatt Glendoe Hydro Scheme near Fort Augustus, began generation in June 2009. It was out of service between 2009 and 2012 for repair of the tunnels connecting the reservoir to the turbines.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Loch Ness lies along the Great Glen Fault, which forms a line of weakness in the rocks which has been excavated by glacial erosion, forming the Great Glen and the basins of Loch Lochy, Loch Oich and Loch Ness.</p><br>

<p>John Cobb died in an attempt at the water speed record when his boat Crusader struck an unexplained wake on the surface of the loch in 1952. His accident was recorded by the BBC reporters on site at the time. Nearby, there is a memorial to him erected by the people of Glenurquhart.</p><br>
<p>On 31 August 1974, David Scott Munro, of Ross-shire Caberfeidh Water Ski Club, became the first person in the world to water ski (mono ski) the length of Loch Ness. From Lochend to Fort Augustus and back, he covered the 48 miles in 77 minutes at an average speed of 37 mph.</p><br>
<p>In July 1966, Brenda Sherratt became the first person to swim the length of the loch. It took her 31 hours and 27 minutes.</p><br>
<p>Linthicum Heights Historic District is a national historic district at Linthicum Heights, Anne Arundel County, Maryland. It consists of a suburban community surrounding the intersection of Camp Meade Road  and Maple Road. The community is situated on a series of low hills about three miles south of the Patapsco River and includes 17 tree-shaded streets created originally as a planned railroad suburb on the lines connecting Baltimore, Annapolis, and Washington, beginning in 1908. The district consists of 254 contributing resources, including two churches, a cemetery, and a former commercial/residential building. Most of the housing was built prior to 1939 and include examples of the Bungalow, American Foursquare, Colonial Revival, Dutch Revival, and Tudor Revival styles.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>Williamsbridge Reservoir was a natural lake  measuring 13.1 acre just south of Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx, New York. It was shaped like a saucer and was normally 41 ft deep.</p><br>
<h2>History of reservoir site</h2><br>
<p>A site for the Montefiore Home, first organized in 1884, was acquired in the West Bronx, between Columbia Oval and the Williamsbridge Reservoir, in January 1910. On the plot a hospital for treating various diseases replaced the previous site of the Montefiore Home, a building at Broadway (Manhattan) between 137th Street and 138th Street.</p><br>
<p>In June 1928 a four-year-old boy, Frederic Fleishaus, of 3315 Rochambeau Avenue, the Bronx, drowned in Williamsbridge Reservoir. He gained access to the water through a small opening in an eight-foot fence which had been erected for protection.</p><br>
<p>The Williamsbridge Reservoir property came under the control of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation on June 27, 1934. A new sport and play area covering 20 acre, known as the Williamsbridge Oval Park and Williamsbridge Playground and Recreation Center, opened there on September 11, 1937. A Works Progress Administration project, the facilities cost $1,500,000 to build. It features a Beaux Arts landscape and Art Moderne recreation center.</p><br>
<p>Note: This includes</p><br>
<p>The Keeper&#39;s House at Williamsbridge Reservoir was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. Sixteen years later, the entire park was listed on the Register as well.</p><br>
<p>Fort Christanna was one of the projects of Lt. Governor Alexander Spotswood, who was governor of the Virginia Colony 1710-1722. The fort was designed to offer protection and schooling to the tributary Siouan and Iroquoian tribes, living to the southwest of the colonized area of Virginia. Located in what became Brunswick County, Virginia, near Gholsonville, the fort was completed in 1714 and enjoyed three successful years of operation as the westernmost outpost of the British Empire at the time, before being finally closed by the House of Burgesses in 1718. However, the demoralized Saponi and Tutelo continued to live on the allotted land, 6 miles square , into the 1730s and 1740s.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>After the Tuscarora War broke out in 1711, Spotswood conceived the idea of a fort where he would settle the Siouan and Iroquoian tribes of Virginia that had been Tributary since 1677. The fort would offer them protection from hostile tribes, act as a trading center, and also provide schooling to their children to learn English culture. In late 1713, he got his idea approved by the Burgesses; it was to be under the jurisdiction of the newly formed Virginia Indian Company, which had a monopoly.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1714 Spotswood himself visited the site and successfully persuaded the Siouan tribes, who included the Saponi, Tutelo, Occaneechi, and Nahyssan, to occupy the tract that was surveyed. However, the Iroquoian tribes in Virginia, the Nottoway and Meherrin, refused to take up their portion, saying they would not live with the Siouans. Spotswood even contemplated abducting them to make them live at the fort, but they eluded all efforts.</p><br>
<p>He named the fort "Christ-Anna" after Christ, and after Queen Anne, who died later that year. It was built according to state-of-the-art principles of fort construction at that time, in the shape of a pentagon, and a blockhouse with 1400-lb cannon at each of the 5 corners, 100 yards apart, so as to enable each to command within sight of the next two. Inside the fort was a school for Indian children, taught by a Charles Griffin, where they learned to speak and write English, and to read the Bible and Book of Common Prayer.</p><br>
<p>Lieut. John Fontaine, who spent some time there 1715-1716, left a detailed account of his observations on the Indians, and also recorded about 45-50 words and phrases of their Tutelo-Saponi language. He saw the fort at the peak of its success, and described hordes of "happy Indian children shrieking through the rain". Another visitor, Rev. Hugh Jones, reported that the 77 Indian students could read, write and say their catechisms tolerably well, and that the natives adored Griffin so much, they "fain would have chosen him for a King of the Sapony Nation".</p><br>
<p>Spotswood continued to take a keen interest and later started building his own house nearby, bringing his family there at one point in 1717.</p><br>
<h3>Decline</h3><br>
<p>The monopoly of the Virginia Indian Company on trading soon aroused the ire of private merchants such as William Byrd II, who had inherited his fathers lucrative Indian trade. While back in London, he lobbied the Lords of Trade, arguing that Christanna was an unnecessary expense, and calling on them to return to independent trade and dissolve the Company. Despite Spotswoods objections, they did so on November 12, 1717. In May 1718, a treaty was signed with the Iroquois of New York, whereby they agreed not to come east of the Blue Ridge, and the Burgesses thereupon voted to discontinue manning the fort. Mr Griffin remained until September, then transferred to become master of the Indian school at the College of William & Mary.</p><br>
<p>The Saponi and Tutelo remained on the tract for several more years, at a village called Junkatapurse (Tutelo: chunketa pasui, "horse&#39;s head"). They began moving elsewhere in small bands around 1730. The largest part of them moved to Shamokin, Pennsylvania in 1740, where they joined the Iroquois, and were formally adopted by the Cayuga nation in New York in 1753. Meanwhile colonists had begun moving to the lands around the fort in such numbers that in 1720, Brunswick County was formed there as a separate county.</p><br>
<p>The five large cannon once at the fort are supposed to have been buried in the well; its location is currently uncertain. A lesser cannon said to be from Christanna was for years in the front yard of a private home in the vicinity, fired every July 4 and Christmas, and in 1900, was moved to sit in front of the Christopher Wren Building at William and Mary. Another lesser cannon attributed to Christanna was taken to Lawrenceville, Virginia and fired to celebrate the election of Grover Cleveland in 1887, at which time it accidentally exploded; its remains in 1975 were said to be buried in the filled-in cellar of a former home.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, as a national historic district.</p><br>
<p>Maxwell Lake is a tarn located in the Eagle Cap Wilderness of Northeastern Oregon. It is situated near the North Minam Meadows and is 16 aerial miles from the town of Lostine, Oregon. It is known for its two small islands and typically successful fishing, which make it a popular day hiking and overnight backpacking destination. It is the 16th highest lake in the Eagle Cap Wilderness.</p><br>
<h2>Trail</h2><br>
<p>Maxwell Lake is one of the few lakes in the Eagle Cap Wilderness that has an exclusive trail. The trail, which is named after the lake, has the trail number 1674. It is 4 miles long (one way) and the USA Forest Service lists it as "More difficult". Less than half a mile from the beginning the trail crosses a small bridge. The trail then begins to switchback for several miles, crossing Maxwell Creek. Here the trail has no bridge and the climber is forced to find another means to cross. Though somewhat shallow in the summer and fall, Maxwell Creek can be fairly deep in the spring time. The trail straightens for the last mile, but gains elevation quickly. This part of the trail may be difficult for some climbers.</p><br>

<p>Ocean Hall is a historic house located at Bushwood, St. Mary&#39;s County, Maryland, USA The house is believed to have been built about 1670. Successive alterations were made to the initial structure in the early 18th, late 19th and early 20th centuries, when the exterior porches were added. Of the original house only the Flemish bond brick exterior walls remain.</p><br>
<p>It is believed that when the interior was rebuilt (or extensively altered) about 1725, the floor plan configuration was a hall and parlor, a two-room plan typical of this region throughout the 17th and early 18th centuries. Decorative details include paneling, molded chair-rails, and a Federal mantel.</p><br>
<p>Ocean Hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>St. Richards Manor is a historic home located at Lexington Park, St. Marys County, Maryland. It is a -story Flemish bond brick dwelling, with a steeply pitched gable roof, constructed before 1750 on the Patuxent River. Also on the property are two tobacco barns built about 1935, and a small pyramid-roofed concrete block pumphouse.</p><br>
<p>On December 16, 1652, "St. Richard&#39;s Manor" was re-patented to Luke Gardiner, heir of Richard Gardiner, because the original patent had been lost as a result of the internal strife with Ingle in 1645. Shortly afterwards /_that is in the 1650s _/ Richard Edelen was contracted by Luke to build a second house on the Manor. This house is still standing today on fifty-five acres of the original land patent. Richard Edelen built a second house called "Riverview" (circa 1659) for Luke Gardiner near St. Clements Island.</p><br>
<p>St. Richard&#39;s Manor was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Giant Forest Lodge Historic District in Sequoia National Park includes the remnants of what was once an extensive National Park Service Rustic style tourist development for park visitors. Also known as Camp Sierra, the district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in May 1978. Originally situated in the Giant Forest grove of giant sequoias, the district is notable for its nearly total demolition by the National Park Service to eliminate the impact of development on the Big Trees.</p><br>
<h2>Development</h2><br>
<p>The first development in the Giant Forest took place in 1899, when a tent camp was set up in the grove. A road reached the site in 1903, and more permanent development followed. The first lodge was built in 1915. In 1921 the Sequoia and General Grant National Parks Company erected the primary lodging area next to Round Meadow, the first area to be called "Giant Forest Lodge". The same year, Camp Kaweah was established to provide additional capacity. By 1926, a study commissioned by the Park Service indicated that the development was adversely affecting the trees. The following year the park superintendent, Colonel John White, first proposed the removal of the development. However, the concessioner was able to intervene with the director of the Park Service, and White was overruled. He was, however, able to impose limits on guest accommodations, the first such limits in the National Park system. In 1962 and 1965 two reports indicated that the hydrology of the area had been affected by development, and that the fire suppression made necessary by the proximity of buildings had created an unfavorable environment for new sequoia growth. Additionally, the influential Leopold Report on national park development, written by nature conservationist A. Starker Leopold, specifically criticized the Giant Forest development. By 1971 the park&#39;s master plan called for the reduction of human impact in the Giant Forest. By 1980 a consensus had developed for the relocation of the recreational facilities.</p><br>
<h2>Removal</h2><br>
<p>By the 1990s the Park Service had resolved to remove the development, and demolition began in 1997. It was completed in 2000 for the Giant Forest Lodge area with the removal of all buildings, roads, and infrastructure. New development was centered around the Gilbert Stanley Underwood Giant Forest Village Market building at nearby Camp Kaweah, which became the Giant Forest Museum in 2001. The facility is connected to the Giant Forest by shuttle bus.</p><br>
<p>The visitor accommodations were replaced by Wuksachi Village, located about five miles to the north and well away from the sequoia grove.</p><br>
<p>The demolition of the Giant Forest infrastructure is noteworthy as the most visible clash between the Park Service&#39;s role as a guardian of natural resources and its role as custodian of the National Register of Historic Places, when it had to determine which interest was more crucial.</p><br>
<p>Trinity Episcopal Church in Danville, Kentucky was one of the first churches organized in the Episcopal Diocese of Kentucky. Trinity Church is the oldest in-use church structure in Danville and the oldest continuously used Episcopal church building in the Episcopal Diocese of Lexington as well as the second oldest in Kentucky. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The origin of the Episcopal church in Kentucky dates to 1796 when Christ Church in Lexington was organized. It wasnt until 1809, however, that the parish was formally established when the first vestry was elected. In 1822 a second Episcopal church was established in Louisville, it too being named Christ Church. The building, which is now Christ Church Cathedral, was completed in 1824. In 1829 Reverend George T. Chapman, rector of Lexingtons Christ Church from 1820 to 1830, proposed the formation of a Diocese. In working towards this goal, Reverend Chapman visited Danville and organized a congregation. The group of local citizens who were instrumental in the formation of the new church were mostly physicians, lawyers, bankers, merchants, and landowners. Members of the committee formed to erect a church building included Dr. Ephraim McDowell and his wife, Sarah Shelby McDowell, daughter of Isaac Shelby, the first Governor of Kentucky. Another influential member and largest contributor to the church was James Birney, a wealthy merchant, who was the father of James G. Birney, the prominent abolitionist.</p><br>
<p>The new church building, completed in late 1830 or early 1831, was built by Robert Russel, Jr., a local brick maker and mason. Russel, a native of Virginia, settled in Danville in 1805. He built almost all of the early brick buildings in Danville, including Old Centre in 1820. Russel&#39;s fees must have been modest for the vestry minutes indicate that it was decided to begin construction as soon as $1,500 had been subscribed. The new building was consecrated on June 3, 1831, by the Reverend William Meade, then assistant Bishop of the Diocese of Virginia, who was to become one of the most influential leaders of the Episcopal Church. The new Kentucky Diocese, having at this time no bishop of its own, had invited him to visit Kentucky to perform such functions as ordaining new clergy, confirming laymen, and consecrating churches.</p><br>
<p>The first rector of the parish was the Reverend Gideon McMilan. In addition to his duties as rector of Trinity Church, Reverend McMillan regularly traveled throughout the surrounding area on horseback, establishing missions in Harrodsburg and Lancaster. Reverend McMillan&#39;s service to the church was short lived, for he fell victim to the cholera epidemic of 1833, after ministering to the needs of the community. He was buried along the south wall of the church, which is now covered by the chancel.</p><br>
<p>Trinity Church continued to grow and to hold regular services. In 1860, however, the church was severely damaged in a fire which destroyed most of the Danville commercial district. The day after the fire, the building was inspected and it was determined that the four walls of the church and the vestibule which remained intact, were structurally sound. A new roof and bell tower were constructed, as well as a recessed chancel. Also at this time the original window openings were replaced by paired lancet windows with wooden tracery and a quatrefoil design centered above. The remodeled interior was plain with a balcony and organ over the entrance, and the nave was covered with simple open-timber roof. Thus, after the restoration was completed in 1861, the church which had been constructed in a modified Federal mode, was transformed into a fine Gothic Revival structure. The church, which has remained unaltered, continues to be a good example of a Gothic Revival ecclesiastical design.</p><br>
<p>For several months in 1862 the newly restored church was used as a hospital for Union troops wounded in the Battle of Perryville, which took place on October 8, 1862. A drawing of the reception of the Union troops into Danville after the battle, which appeared in the November 8, 1862 issue of Harper&#39;s Weekly Magazine, clearly shows the outline of Trinity Church.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The original church structure consisted of a rectangular block with a two-story vestibule projecting forward from the central bay of the facade. The walls of the vestibule, facade, and sides were laid in Flemish bond with queen closers at the corners. Two rectangular openings, filled with clear glass and Venetian shutters, were spaced along the sides. In 1842 a cupola was added to the vestibule to house the church bell. In the interior of the church, the ceiling was supported by two rows of three Doric columns. In the rear of the church (north wall) was a gallery for the organ and choir.</p><br>
<p>In 1860, the church was gutted and the roof destroyed in a fire. After the fire it was determined that the vestibule and the four walls that remained standing were structurally sound and that it would be safe to rebuild upon them. The reconstruction plans, implemented in 1860, called for several alterations which transformed the church into a Gothic Revival structure. The chancel was recessed and three lancet windows, the central opening being taller and broader than the others, were added over the altars. Two narrow lancet windows, designed to light the choir loft, were added in the facade, as well as one in the bell tower. The original rectangular openings were replaced by paired lancets, surmounted by a quatrefoil in a circle. All the windows were filled with stained glass and decorated with wooden tracery, with stone sills below and a keystone above.</p><br>
<p>The original cupola was replaced by a bell tower and a tall octagonal steeple which is crowned with a cross. Narrow louvered lancet openings are located on the four sides at the base of the steeple. Triangular vents are placed in the middle of the tower.</p><br>

<p>The Giant Forest Village–Camp Kaweah Historic District is located in Sequoia National Park. It is notable as one of two registered historic districts in the park that were largely demolished as part of National Park Service efforts to mitigate the impact of park visitor facilities on the park&#39;s giant sequoia groves. They were in a vernacular National Park Service Rustic and American Craftsman Bungalow style.</p><br>
<p>Established in 1926 as a satellite facility for the main Giant Forest Lodge development, Camp Kaweah and Giant Forest Village provided lodging, concessions and camping for visitors to the Giant Forest grove. The construction of the Generals Highway gave impetus to new accommodations in the area. By 2001 the housekeeping camp facilities had been removed and the area converted to a day-use are.</p><br>
<h2>Camp Kaweah</h2><br>
<p>Camp Kaweah came first, starting as a frame tent camp in 1926. Permanent construction began that year. The permanent camp opened in 1927. The camp included 41 wood frame cabins and an office in an area composed mostly of firs and pines, with a single giant sequoia. The cabins were built between 1926 and 1940 with low shingled roofs. Most cabins had outdoor cooking porches covered with canvas flies. One cabin became an employee residence. The office was built in 1926 and enlarged in 1938. The L-shaped structure is divided into office space and a 16 ft by 52 ft hall-like space with exposed timber roof framing. The log frame is exposed on the exterior. The 10 ft by 12 ft office wing features a sitting porch. The cabins were laid out according to a plan developed by Park Service landscape architect Merel S. Sager. The lower portion of Camp Kaweah was built beginning in 1935 with more cabins, bringing the total count to about 140 units. It was not included in the historic district, nor is the eastern portion of the upper Kaweah area.</p><br>
<h2>Giant Forest Village</h2><br>
<p>Giant Forest Village was developed as a concession and service area. Temporary buildings were moved to the site in 1926. Park Service landscape engineer Daniel Ray Hull established the site, and collaborated with architect Gilbert Stanley Underwood to have Underwoods firm design the Giant Forest Market in 1928. Underwood designed the Eddy Photographic Studio in 1929. A ranger residence was designed in 1931 by Sager, and a comfort station was added in 1932. All were designed in a compatible rustic style, though Underwoods market building used squared timbers to economize. The Market building measures about 120 ft by 40 ft with gabled extensions on the ends that from the front imply an I-shaped plan. The front has a large band of windows and four pairs of doors. The comfort station matches the store. Other buildings, now vanished, included a gas station, a gift shop, a post office and other buildings.</p><br>
<h2>Change in use</h2><br>
<p>As a consequence of the decision to remove the Giant Forest Lodge development, itself a National Register district, the Camp Kaweah location was chosen to serve as a day-use-only visitor orientation facility. The Giant Forest Market, designed by Underwood, was rebuilt as the new Giant Forest Museum in 2001. The surrounding parking lots were built on the site of upper and lower Camp Kaweah, which were demolished. The comfort station and ranger residence remainA bus shuttle now connects the museum with the Giant Forest.</p><br>
<p>The visitor accommodations were replaced by Wuksachi Village, about five miles to the north and well away from the sequoia grove.</p><br>
<p>The Grant Depot and Water Tower  is a state historical site in Grant, Michigan. The railroad depot and water tower were built in 1891 by the Chicago and West Michigan Railroad, and within a few years became part of the Pere Marquette System. The water tower is believed to be the last original wooden water tower in the State of Michigan, and the site was added to the Michigan State Historical Registry on June 10, 1980.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>After being built in 1891, the station quickly became a very important part of the local enonomy. In terms of agriculture, around this time, Grant shipped a lot of produce by rail. In 1915, 10 to 12 cars of peaches a day were shipped, and later in the 1930s carloads of onions were shipped out from this station, earning Grant the title of “Onion Capital of the World.”</p><br>
<p>This station was also very important in regards to the lumbering industry. During the seasons of 1872-73, 9,000,000 boardfeet of logs came of out of Newaygo County, mostly from the Grant Station, at the rate of 100,000 a day. This was one of the first log trains in Michigan. By 1885 Andrew T. Squire, owner of the local saw mill and founder of Grant, was producing 1,000,000 boardfeet of lumber per year.</p><br>
<p>Until the late 1940s, there were two passenger trains, (each way) running everyday between Grand Rapids and Traverse City, through the Grant Depot. The last passenger train ran in 1963.</p><br>
<p>In 1979 the depot was rebuilt to serve as a restaurant. The agents office and waiting room became a dining room. The freight room, became a kitchen, and an addition on the east side serves as an additional dining room. This restaurant is still operational today.</p><br>
<h2>Water Tower Move</h2><br>
<p>Up until June 26, 2008 the City-owned water tower sat on 0.004 acre of CSX owned land. The City of Grant had been paying a lease for that land for many years and CSX railroad was not interested in allowing for a state historical marker to be placed. Therefore, it was decided to move the water tower 128 ft to the east, in front of the city-owned caboose. This would allow the city to stop paying the lease, a historical marker to be place, and a small park to be created at the site. This move cost the city $60,000, of which the Fremont Area Community Foundation awarded $50,000 in grants. The move attracted hundreds of on-lookers to the city including local television, and newspaper media. Prior to the move, The State Historical Commission was contacted, and they gave their approval and support for the project.</p><br>
<h2>State Historical Registry</h2><br>
<p>This site was added to the Michigan State Historical Registry on June 10, 1980. It was assigned ID# P24311.</p><br>
<p>The Woodland Public Library is the oldest, and one of the last functioning Carnegie-funded libraries in California. It is on the National Register of Historic Places and is a contributing property of the Downtown Woodland Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Woodlands library history began with ice-cream socials and book donations from community members, led by the woman in the community in 1874. In 1891 a $500 donation helped the communitys efforts and led to the establishment of a free public library held in a small area in City Hall. In 1903 a grant from Andrew Carnegie was received in the amount of $10,000 for the construction of a public library. Dodge & Dolliver of San Francisco (whose work included the San Mateo County Courthouse and St. Johns Presbyterian Church in San Francisco) was to design the first phase of the library. Dodge & Dolliver designed the building based on Mission Revival architecture even though James Bertram, Carnegies personal secretary, objected to their choice. William Henry Curson, the contractor for the Woodland Opera House, was the contractor for the job.</p><br>
<p>Between 1915 and 1979 an agreement was made between the Yolo County Library System and the City Library. The two organizations shared the same building for administrative operations but the Yolo County Library had a separate service establishment. This led to Carnegie donating $12,000 in 1915 to expand the building. A west wing was added, designed by W.H. Weeks, with an entrance on Court Street with a sign that said "County Library" while the original entrance on First Street said "City Library".</p><br>
<p>In 1927-1929 another expansion occurred, and in 1985 voters approved a $2.5 million expansion that included the construction of the Leake Room and the interior courtyard. When the additions were completed in 1988, the building was twice as large.</p><br>
<p>Mount Porndon is a 278 metre high volcano located 13 kilometres southeast of Camperdown in western Victoria, Australia.</p><br>
<p>Mount Porndon is on private land. There is a fire tower on the summit as well as several radio communications facilities. It is a composite volcano of scoria resting on lava disc and tuff. The area around Mount Porndon is known as the stony rises. Early settlers used the abundance of rock to build extensive stone fences in the surrounding area.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Mount Porndon is the central higher part of a volcanic complex including lava flows, tuff deposits and scoria cones and craters. The site covers a broad area including the major elements of volcanic sequence. A number of basalt lava flows extend from Mount Porndon forming rough stony rises, some of which reach Lake Corangamite. The younger of these flows formed an irregular lava disc roughly 3 km in diameter with a distinct and almost continuous perimeter in places forming a rocky wall 10 to 15 meters high. The stony rise flows have been dated at 300,000 years.</p><br>
<p>Overlying the lava disc is a thin layer of tuff. The main hills and cones were built from scoria eruptions which succeeded the phreatomagmatic stage after groundwater had been depleted. Small lava flows from some vents beneath the scoria are the last eruptive activity. The central cone of Mount Porndon has a crater 15 m deep and open to the west.</p><br>
<p>Christ Episcopal Church is a historic Episcopal church located at Chaptico, St. Mary&#39;s County, Maryland, United States. It was constructed in 1736 of Flemish bond brick construction with glazed headers, 60 feet long and 40 feet wide, with an original semicircular brick apse. In 1913, a three-story brick tower with octagonal belfry and spire was added to the west end of the church. The building was constructed under the supervision of Philip Key, vestryman, who was the grandfather of Francis Scott Key. The building was heavily damaged on July 30, 1814, during the War of 1812, when an admiral of the British fleet came ashore and took possession of the village of Chaptico. Surrounding the church is a cemetery with 18th, 19th, and 20th century markers, including a vault for the Key family. Christ Church Parish was one of the original 30 Anglican parishes in the Province of Maryland.</p><br>
<p>Christ Episcopal Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>St. Andrews Church is a historic church located at 44078 St. Andrews Church Road, California near Leonardtown, St. Marys County, Maryland. It was built in 1766 to serve as the parish church of St. Andrews Parish, which had been established in 1744. It is a rectangular brick box church laid in Flemish bond with a gable roof and round-arched windows trimmed with brick segmental arches. At two corners stand two-story square brick towers with a diminutive spire. Richard Boulton designed the church in 1766; he was also responsible for the outstanding carving and ornamentation at Sotterley. George Plater , who briefly served as Maryland&#39;s governor before his death, was an active parish member, serving twenty-eight years as a vestryman.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>St. Georges Episcopal Church is an historic church located at 44965 Blake Creek Road, in Valley Lee, St. Marys County, Maryland. It was built in 1799 on the same site as three other, earlier churches. It is a one-story, five bay, rectangular, gable-front, Flemish bond brick structure. The interior has been restored to its 1884 appearance. The church is surrounded by a graveyard, enclosed by a low brick wall. It is generally believed that St. George&#39;s is the site of the oldest Anglican church in Maryland whose parish is still in existence. William and Mary Parish, as it was originally known, was one of the original 30 Anglican parishes in the Province of Maryland.</p><br>
<p>The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>St. Ignatius Roman Catholic Church is a historic Roman Catholic church located at St. Inigoes, St. Mary&#39;s County, Maryland. It and its adjacent cemetery are situated on about two acres of land that are enclosed within a late 19th-century iron fence. The church was constructed between 1785 and 1787, with the sacristy added in 1817. The church walls are 21 inches thick, of brick laid in Flemish bond. Atop the roof is a small wooden belfry that in 1933 replaced a larger one in this same location.</p><br>
<p>St. Ignatius Roman Catholic Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>First Catholic parish in English speaking North America</h2><br>
<p>It is a direct descendant of Marylands first Roman Catholic Chapel at St. Marys City, whose communicants formed the first nucleus of American Catholicism. The Parish, then connected to the one in St. Mary&#39;s City Maryland also fell under the umbrella of the first establishment of religious freedom in America, by George Calvert and his sons who established the new colony as a refuge for persecuted Catholics.</p><br>
<h2>Colonial relics</h2><br>
<p>The church contains artifacts from the original "The Ark" and "The Dove" sailing ships, which bore the first settlers to the Maryland colony in 1633-34.</p><br>
<h2>Stained glass depiction of local Indian chief in battle</h2><br>
<p>The church also has a very old stained glass depiction of the local paramount Indian Chief in battle with rival Indians. That Chief later converted to Christianity and was a member of the parish in the 1640s.</p><br>
<p>The St. Bonaventure Monastery is a complex of religious buildings, built for the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, located at 1740 Mt. Elliott Avenue in Detroit, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>St. Bonaventure Monastery was established in 1882, one of a number of late 19th century Roman Catholic institutions established in Detroit. At the time, the Capuchin friars wrote to then-Bishop of Detroit Caspar Borgess, seeking permission to establish a community of the Order in his diocese. The bishop responded by suggesting that they could serve as chaplains for the Eastside Historic Cemetery District and build a monastery in the city. The friars accepted the suggestion and were granted permission to start working in the diocese. In 1882 they moved into a small house on the cemetery grounds until the following year, when the monastery, sited across the street, was habitable.</p><br>
<p>The monastery was originally intended to serve the area&#39;s Catholic clergy and churches, but also provided emergency aid to the poor. During the Great Depression, the monastery was a major source of relief for poor East-Side workers. By 1931 the monastery was providing as many as 3,500 free meals per day through its soup kitchen.</p><br>
<h2>Father Solanus Casey</h2><br>
<p>The monastery is also significant because of its association with Blessed Solanus Casey, O.F.M. Cap. Father Solanus was a Capuchin friar who served as the monastery porter 1924-1946, meeting visitors at the friary door. His body was clothed in a new religious habit, placed in a steel casket, and re-interred beneath the north transept at St. Bonaventure&#39;s, where prayers are offered for the intercession of Fr. Solanus. Fr. Solanus was beatified in Detroit on November 18, 2017.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>St. Bonaventure Monastery consists of three buildings: the 1883 Gothic-influenced monastery (completed in 1913), the 1908 Soup Kitchen, and the 1939 Third Order Hall. All three buildings are constructed of red brick on a hand-dressed limestone foundation with extensive limestone trim. The monastery complex also contains a tiny cemetery and a 1960 mission building.</p><br>

<p>The Frederic M. Sibley Lumber Company Office Building is an office building located at 6460 Kercheval Avenue in Detroit, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1989 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<h2>Frederic M. Sibley</h2><br>
<p>Frederic M. Sibley was born in Detroit in late October, 1883. As an adult, he joined his fathers lumber company and acted as treasurer until his fathers death in 1912, after which he assumed the presidency of the firm. In 1922, the Sibley Lumber Company employed 400 people and was the second largest lumber firm in Detroit.</p><br>
<p>Sibley married Mabel Bessenger in August 1910. They had five children: Josephine, Frederic Jr., Dorothy, Suzanne, and Joy.</p><br>
<p>Sibley is also known for his cooperation with August Fruehauf in developing the first semi-trailers to haul lumber. Sibley, approached August Fruehauf, his blacksmith about modifying a wagon to transport an 18 boat. Sibley wanted to use his Model-T roadster rather than a slow moving horse and wagon. August Fruehauf and his partner, Otto Neumann took several days to devise a solution. They removed the back seat of the Model-T to support the front end of the wagon and fashioned a 5th wheel coupling to attach the wagon to the back of the automobile. August called it a semi-trailer. Sibley was impressed with the solution and ordered additional semi-trailers for his lumber company. Henry Ford canceled the warrantee on the modified Model Ts. August Fruehauf turned this invention into a goldmine. The Fruehauf Corporation manufactured these trailers for many years afterward.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Frederic M. Sibley Lumber Company Office Building was constructed in a Neo-Classical style in 1925. The two-story building is red brick, trimmed with limestone, and the legend "F. M. Sibley Lumber Co." is carved in the limestone lintel above the entrance.</p><br>
<p>St. Francis Xavier Church and Newtown Manor House Historic District is the first county designated historic district in Saint Mary&#39;s County, the "Mother County" of Maryland and is located in Compton, Maryland, near the county seat of Leonardtown. The district marks a location and site important in the 17th century ecclesiastical history of Maryland, as an example of a self-contained Jesuit community made self-supporting by the surrounding 700 acre farm. The two principal historic structures were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. Archaeological remains associated with the site date back to the early colonial period, mid-17th century.</p><br>
<p>Saint Francis Xaviers Church is a frame, rectangular building with two octagonally shaped brick additions, located on a neck of land for accessibility to early worshippers arriving by boat. The center wooden section is understood to be the oldest part of the structure and was dated through dendochronology to circa 1731. The semi-octagonal brick vestibule dates to 1766/1767 and the semi-octagonal sacristy dates to 1816. The church has simple Federal woodwork, a mid-18th-century reredos, and an elegant triple-vaulted ceiling. The altar and reredos are crowned by a small dome. The reredos contains a large altar-portrait of the churchs patron painted by the Brother Francis Schroen, S.J. circa 1910. The church building continues to serve as the parish church, for the parish of Saint Francis Xavier, a parish of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington.</p><br>
<p>Newtown Manor House was originally constructed in 1789. It is a -story brick, five-bay brick house with a pair of interior chimneys at each gable end. The structure originally had a gambrel roof, which was raised and changed to its present shape in 1816. The house, which belongs to the parish, is currently unoccupied.</p><br>
<p>Cerro Catedral , also known as Cerro Cordillera, is a peak and the highest point of Uruguay, with an altitude of 513.66 m. It is located north of Maldonado Department, in the municipality of Aiguá, in a hill range named Sierra Carapé, which constitutes part of a larger range named Cuchilla Grande. Its name derived from the curious forms of the rocky elevations of its summit, which are very common in the southern part of this country.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Until 1973, Cerro de las Ánimas (formerly known as Mirador Nacional), with an elevation of 501 m, was considered the highest point of Uruguay. However, in that year, a group of scientists of the Servicio Geográfico Militar (Military Geographic Service) changed the measure of Cerro Catedral.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<h3>Location and geology</h3><br>
<p>Sierra Carapé, formed in Precambrian time, crosses the Maldonado Department from west to east and enters the Rocha Department. It constitutes the border between the departments of Lavalleja and Maldonado. Cerro Catedral, or Cerro Cordillera, is situated in the region of Las Cañas, in the 8th Judicial Section and the 9th Police Section of the Maldonado Department. Near Cerro Catedral there are the source of José Ignacio Stream (Arroyo José Ignacio), which runs from north to south, and the source of Coronilla Stream (Arroyo Coronilla), running to the northwest, which drains into Aiguá.</p><br>
<p>The hill is situated in an area of the range which its formation is mainly granitic and gneissic.</p><br>
<h3>Vegetation</h3><br>
<p>In the highest areas of Cerro Catedral, the vegetation practically does not exist, with the sparse appearance of a shrub called Myrtus ugni between the rocks. Above the altitude of 400 m, tough grasses, xerophile vegetation, Baccharis articulata and marcela predominate.</p><br>
<h3>Climate</h3><br>
<p>The climate in this locality is humid subtropical or oceanic (described by the Köppen climate classification as Cfb), with mild to warm summers and chilly to cool winters (with frequent frosts). Strong winds are a common occurrence. The precipitation is evenly distributed throughout the year and snowfalls are uncommon.</p><br>
<p>The Holy Trinity Church, also known as the Church of the Holy Trinity  is a church located at 325 Gold Street in Juneau, Alaska. The present building was built in 2009, replacing an 1896 structure which burned on March 12, 2006.</p><br>
<p>The old church was designed by architect George E. James in the Carpenter Gothic style, and was built by Foss and Olsen in 1896 to serve a mission congregation founded only the year before. Sometime before 1914 the church building was raised up to allow the addition of a basement. The parish hall built in 1956 did not continue the Carpenter Gothic architecture of the church itself. From 1918-1914, the church served as the pro-cathedral of the Episcopal Diocese of Alaska. On October 19, 1978, the church was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Engine House No. 18 is a fire station located at 3812 Mt. Elliott Avenue in Detroit, Michigan. It is also known as Engine Company No. 18 Fire Station. It is the third oldest existing  fire station in Detroit. The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Land for this Engine House was purchased in 1891 for $2100. The building was designed by the Detroit architects George D. Mason and Zachariah Rice and constructed by Vinton & Co. for $20,228.14.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Engine House is a two-story red brick building with trim of red-orange sandstone and salmon colored brick topped with a high double-pitch hip roof in the front and a lower roof in the rear. Dormers feature wooden cornices containing sculpted faces, serpents, and dragonheads. Two engine bays are located on the first floor, along with the station office, kitchen, and dining & recreation room. The sleeping quarters, officer’s room, locker room and bathroom are on the second floor. A hose-drying chamber stretches from the first floor to the attic.</p><br>
<p>A rear addition to the original 1892 building was constructed in 1949; the site also houses a one-story, brick storage building at the rear of the lot.</p><br>
<p>The Blue Hole of Santa Rosa is a circular, bell-shaped pool east of Santa Rosa, New Mexico that is one of the most popular dive destinations in the US for SCUBA diving and training. The Blue Hole is an artesian well that was once used as a fish hatchery. It is a clear blue body of water with a constant 62 &deg;F temperature and constant inflow of 3,000 USgal/min. While the surface is only 80 ft in diameter, it expands to a diameter of 130 ft at the bottom.</p><br>
<p>Since Santa Rosa, New Mexico is at an elevation of 4,616 ft, it is necessary for divers to use high-altitude dive tables to compute the dive profile and decompression stops when diving in the Blue Hole.</p><br>
<p>The pool is open for public use with no lifeguards on duty.</p><br>
<p>On March 26, 2016, 43-year-old California diver Shane Thompson, a Navy veteran from the ADM Exploration Foundation, was exploring passageways where he became trapped and accidentally drowned.</p><br>
<p>The St. Theresa of Avila Roman Catholic Church is a church located at 8666 Quincy Street in Detroit, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The St. Theresa of Avila Roman Catholic Parish Complex consists of the church, rectory, school, and convent. All of the buildings are essentially Neo-Romanesque in character, and are constructed of dark red brick trimmed with Indiana limestone.</p><br>
<p>The church is in the Italian Romanesque style, with Byzantine and Art Deco influences. It has a gable front facade with towers at the sides. The entrance is through a triple arched, two-story Romanesque arcaded portico. Above the entrance is a round window flanked with arched niches.</p><br>
<p>The school is a three-story I-shaped building; the rectory is a five-bay center entrance Colonial house with Romanesque Revival details. The three-story convent building, which was built during the Great Depression, features more modest ornamentation. A central pavilion containing the entrance divides the building into three elements.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The St. Theresa of Avila Parish was built as an Irish-American parish, built at a time when the prosperity of the community was such that this magnificent complex could be afforded. The need for this building reflects the population boom in the city brought about by the automobile industry.</p><br>
<p>The parish was closed in the 1980s; the Allen Academy, a K-12 charter school, now uses the school building.</p><br>
<p>Ironsides Island is an uninhabited rocky island in the Saint Lawrence River, and part of the Thousand Islands region near Alexandria Bay, New York. It is in both Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties. Most of the island lies in the Town of Alexandria, in Jefferson County, while its northeasternmost corner lies in the Town of Hammond, in St. Lawrence County. The island is located near Kring Point State Park.</p><br>
<p>The 30 acre island has 30 to 40 ft cliffs along its waterfront, and its vegetation is dominated by white pine trees. It was donated by former Readers Digest ad executive William Browning to The Nature Conservancy in the late 1960s to ensure protection of the islands great blue heron rookery. Over a thousand herons return to breed every April. It was declared a National Natural Landmark in 1967.</p><br>
<p>Prior permission from The Nature Conservancy is required to land on the island, but it can easily be viewed from the water.</p><br>
<p>St. Martin of Tours Episcopal Church is a historic stone Episcopal church building located at 2312 J Street in the South Omaha district of Omaha, Nebraska. Built in 1899 in the Late Gothic Revival style, it was designated an Omaha Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It was the first Episcopal church established in South Omaha when the town was being developed. It is the only surviving Episcopal church in this community, which was settled chiefly by Catholic immigrants.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Very Reverend Frank Millspaugh, dean of Trinity Cathedral, founded St. Martin in 1876. Millspaugh and his successor George Worthington founded most of the Episcopal churches in Omaha. St. Martin was the first Episcopal church built when the former independent town of South Omaha was new.</p><br>
<p>The church&#39;s architecture was influenced by the Oxford Movement, which revived elements of historical Christian church styles and worship of the Middle Ages. The limestone for the church was salvaged from the remains of the Ralston mansion of Dr. George L. Miller, which burned down in the late 1880s.</p><br>
<p>As South Omaha developed rapidly, attracting many waves of immigrants from Eastern and Southern Europe, the Episcopal church established new missions in the area. But, most of the immigrants were Catholic and established their own churches to continue their traditions. St. Martin of Tours is the only Episcopal church remaining in this area of Omaha. to</p><br>
<p>Shaarei Shamayim  has been the name of two Jewish congregations in Madison, Wisconsin. The first, dating to the 19th century but no longer in existence, built what is now the eighth-oldest synagogue building still standing in the United States. The second congregation, dating to 1989, is the sole Reconstructionist congregation in Madison.</p><br>
<h2>The First Shaarei Shamayim</h2><br>
<p>Madisons Shaarei Shamayim congregation was founded in 1856 by Jewish immigrants from Germany. In 1863, they built a synagogue that was designed by August Kutzbock, a recent German immigrant, in the Rundbogenstil style, a nineteenth-century German form of Romanesque revival. Kutzbock also used this distinctive style for the Carrie Pierce and Van Slyke Houses in the adjacent Mansion Hill district. The building now ranks as the eighth-oldest surviving synagogue building in the United States. The Panic of 1873 forced the lease of the building to a Unitarian congregation, and in subsequent years it was repurposed to house the Womens Christian Temperance Union, other churches, and a funeral home.</p><br>
<h2>Modern Use of the Building</h2><br>
<p>Gates of Heaven Synagogue was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970, and in 1971, thanks to the efforts of local citizens, the building was purchased by the city, restored, and moved to James Madison Park. Now located at the corner of Gorham and Butler Streets, the Gates of Heaven building is used for concerts, weddings, and other gatherings.</p><br>
<p>Since the early 1980s, Hannah Rosenthal has led High Holiday services at the site, with jazz musician Ben Sidran and vocalist Lynette Margulies providing liturgical music. Sidrans album Lifes a Lesson contains selections from these services.</p><br>
<p>In January 2008, with an average temperature of -10 degrees F outside, The Midwest Beat used the space to record their first full-length record, At the Gates. Later released on Dusty Medical Records, the entire session was recorded by Kyle Motor using an Otari MX-5050 half-inch tape 8 track machine.</p><br>
<h2>The Second Shaarei Shamayim</h2><br>
<p>The modern Shaarei Shamayim congregation was formed in 1989 by attendees of Rosenthal&#39;s High Holiday services. Since 2008, the modern Shaarei Shamayim congregation has shared the 1952 First Unitarian Society Meeting House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.</p><br>
<p>Dunham River is a river in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.</p><br>
<p>The river rises between the Durack Range and the O&#39;Donnell Range then flows north-west parallel with the Great Northern Highway to the east and the Bedford Stock Route to the west. The river then crosses the Great Northern Highway near Cabbage Tree Creek and continues north-west crossing the Victoria Highway and discharging into the Ord River west of Kununurra.</p><br>
<p>There are five tributaries of the Dunham; Cabbage Tree Creek, Pelican Creek, Macphee Creek, Rabbit Creek and Pumpkin Lookout Creek.</p><br>
<p>The river flows through one permanent waterhole, Flying Fox waterhole, toward the end of its journey.</p><br>
<p>The river is prone to flooding during rain events. In March 2000, the peak flow of the river was estimated at 2700 m s during floods.</p><br>
<p>The river was named in 1882 by explorer and Kimberley pioneer Michael Durack after the clergyman, Father Dunham of Brisbane, who in 1871 was the first priest to visit Cooper Creek in outback Queensland.</p><br>
<p>Pentecost River is a river in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.</p><br>
<p>The Pentecost rises in the Durack Range and flows north through El Questro Station where it joins the Chamberlain River, then continues north crossing the Gibb River Road, skirts the eastern edge of Drysdale River National Park and later discharges into the west arm of the Cambridge Gulf.</p><br>
<p>Tributaries of the Pentecost include the Chamberlain River, Salmond River, Gap Creek and Five Mile Creek. The Chamberlain and Salmond are both longer than the Pentecost.</p><br>
<p>The river is named after surveyor and geologist John Pentecost, who surveyed the river in 1882 on an expedition led by Michael Durack.</p><br>
<p>The traditional owners of the areas around the river are the Arnga peoples.</p><br>
<p>Moss Island is an island in Little Falls, New York, located between the Mohawk River and the New York State Barge Canal. It is composed of an igneous intrusion of syenite, and became an island when canal locks were built so boats could avoid the 40 ft falls. It is known for its large 40 - deep potholes as well as being popular with local rock climbers. It was declared a National Natural Landmark in 1976. Efforts by the local community to turn Moss Island into a New York State Park were begun in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Moss Island is 1,500 ft long and 625 ft wide. It is bordered by the Mohawk River on the north and the New York State Barge Canal to the south. It is covered in dwarf oak trees. Glacial striations are visible in some places. The southern cliff at its highest point is 45 ft tall. The cliff has an adjacent road and spans about three-quarters of the island.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The cliffs of Moss Island are composed of metasyenite. Syenite is an igneous rock, similar to granite, composed of crystals of quartz (SiO2), alkali feldspar (a continuous mixture from KAlSi3O8 to NaAlSi3O8), and plagioclase feldspar (a mixture from CaAl2Si2O8 to NaAlSi3O8), with small quantities of muscovite (common, white or potash mica), biotitic (black mica, an iron rich version of muscovite), and hornblende (a black to dark green crystal mixture of calcium-iron-magnesium silicate, aluminum-iron-magnesium silicate and iron-magnesium silicate). The prefix "meta-" indicates that metasyenite is a metamorphic rock. After forming as an igneous rock, the syenite was subject to massive heat and pressure, which caused the minerals to rearrange, but not melt.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first locks around the waterfall were created in 1793. A dry 19th century Erie Canal lock (Enlarged Erie Canal Lock #36) is located next to the southeastern service road. The current Lock 17 is one of the tallest locks of its type in the world and the largest in the New York State Barge Canal system. The lock uses a guillotine gate on its eastern side.</p><br>
<p>In 1974, the New York State Thruway was planning to build a bridge over Moss Island, but after negative publicity, it was rerouted around the island.</p><br>
<h2>Recreation</h2><br>
<p>Moss Island is known for its rock climbing. It also provides access to disabled fishermen. The island connects to Lock 17, and its operation can be viewed from the island. A walkway next to the guillotine gate is available to cross the canal. Admission to parking, the lock and Moss Island is free. The island is known for its circular rock formations, and the opposing side of the island is a popular rock climbing cliff.</p><br>
<h3>Rock climbing</h3><br>
<p>Moss island is frequently referred to as an outdoor gym. With a huge range of very easy to very hard climbs, and a very short approach Moss Island is a convenient place to climb. From the base it&#39;s no more than a 5 minute walk to set up an anchor. The cliffs are clean and have great protection with over 100 established routes ranging from 5.1-5.13. Many more popular routes are bolted for top rope. Goat Crack (5.2), a 45 ft slab, is a classic Little Falls route where many trad climbers do their first leads. The island has had several famous climbers climb here including Lynn Hill. Across from the island is an unmaintained cliff with a visible crossing crack Crucifix (5.8). Further down stream a former cement factory has the dihedrals, a 0.25 mile 100 ft face. This cliff is privately owned and not open to the public.</p><br>
<p>Mount Dana is a small stratovolcano of the Alaska Peninsula, United States, located northeast of Canoe Bay inlet at the head of Pavlof Bay. It was the source for a major eruption about 3840 years ago that produced a pyroclastic flow that filled valleys south and west of the volcano&#39;s crater and reached the sea at Canoe Bay.</p><br>
<h2>Geography and geology</h2><br>
<p>Dana is northeast of the Canoe Bay inlet, as it sits at the top of Pavlof Bay. It is 555 mi from Anchorage.</p><br>
<p>The United States has the most active volcanoes in the world, many of them geologically young. In Alaska, at least 50 volcanoes, including those in the Aleutian archipelago, have erupted in historical time. The state accounts for ~80% of the United States&#39; volcanoes, excluding the seamounts in the area, ~8% of world volcanoes, and most of these are located among the Aleutian Islands. The Aleutian Islands arc serves as the northern boundary of the Pacific Ring of Fire, where tectonic activity generates earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in masses.</p><br>
<p>Made up of intermediate composition calc-alkaline rocks, the volcano hosts remnants of an andesite-based dome, just off the western side of the crater and east of Knutson Lake. It resides on submarine sandstone and shale, timed at the Jurassic and Cretaceous eras. Rising 1,354 m, the volcano is topped by a crater 1.5 kilometers in height by 2 kilometers in width. To the southwest of the caldera, an exposed sector reveals a layer of sedimentary Mesozoic era stone.</p><br>
<p>Mount Dana is easily accessible from Canoe Bay, at any time of the year.</p><br>
<h3>Eruptive history</h3><br>
<p>While no recorded eruptions have taken place at the volcano, a flow of blocky lava and volcanic ash is evident on the side of the volcano, streaming into Canoe Bay. Cold springs and an enormous hill of tufa at the volcano also suggest that Dana erupted previously.</p><br>
<p>St. Charles Borromeo Roman Catholic Church is a church located at the corner of Baldwin Avenue and St. Paul Avenue in Detroit, Michigan. The church address is 1515 Baldwin Street; ancillary buildings are located at 1491 Baldwin Street  and 1480 Townsend Street . The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the late 1850s, Belgian Catholics immigrated to Detroit and settled in the eastside neighborhoods near Gratiot and Baldwin. In 1886, a parish dedicated to St. Charles Borromeo was established to minister to this congregation. A wood-frame church was constructed for the parish, and quickly expanded. As Detroit grew, the parish grew along with it, with French, German, Irish, Scotch, and English immigrant congregants in addition to the original Belgians. By 1920, the congregation numbered over 3000. By the 1930s, the school&#39;s population also included many Catholic children of Syrian and Italian immigrants.</p><br>
<p>In 1912, the two-story rectory and school was designed and built by Van Leyen & Schilling. In 1918, Peter Dederichs was awarded a contract to build an "edifice of Romanesque style for religious use". Just four years after the church was completed, it was expanded to meet the needs of the growing congregation.</p><br>
<p>The church is still used today, although the congregation has altered. The rectory serves its original function, and the school is leased by the Church of Messiah.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The St. Charles Borromeo parish complex consists of four buildings, three of which are historically significant: the church itself, the rectory, and the school.</p><br>
<p>The church is built with red-brown tapestry brick on a white Bedford stone foundation, with trim of the same stone. The church is built in a Latin Cross plan, 92 feet across and 180 feet in depth. The design is Romanesque with Arts and Crafts elements. The front facade is flanked by asymmetric towers with red tiled hip-roofs. The entranceway is within a two-story arched structure with columns on each side, above which is a large rose window. Rosettes are in the spandrels above the entrance arches, and green tile fills the spandrels and pediments of the front and side facades. The decorative brick pilasters around the central arch are derived from Prairie School or Arts and Crafts models.</p><br>
<p>The main altar is Baroque in style. The organ was built in two sections to clear the rose window above the main entrance.</p><br>
<p>The school and rectory were designed in the Prairie style with some Byzantine elements.</p><br>
<p>The St. Stanislaus Bishop and Martyr Roman Catholic Church is a church located at 5818 Dubois Street in Detroit, Michigan. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1898, the parish of St. Stanislaus was established to relieve the overcrowding in the Polish congregation of at St. Albertus. A church and school were purchased for the parish from the Protestant Bethel Church, and in 1900 a new elementary school was constructed. Reverend F. G. Zella was assigned as the first pastor. However, between 1905-1910 the population of the church doubled, and a new church was desperately needed.</p><br>
<p>In 1911, work began on a magnificent Baroque church with a lavish Beaux-Arts interior, which was completed in 1913. In 1921, a convent was built for the Felician Sisters who ran the school; seven years later, a high school was constructed. By the late 1940s, St. Stanislaus was the largest Polish parish school in Michigan.</p><br>
<p>After World War II, the demographics of the neighborhood changed as the Polish Catholics moved out of the city and into the suburbs; in addition, the construction of Interstate 94 split the parish and displaced a number of families. Enrollment in the parish school declined, and the grade school was closed in 1968, the high school in 1973, and the convent demolished soon after.</p><br>
<p>The parish underwent a resurgence in the late 1970s, but the 1989 reorganization of the Archdiocese of Detroit eliminated the parish. The Archdiocese sold the structure to the congregation of Promise Land Missionary Baptist Church who lost it through foreclosure in September 2012.</p><br>
<p>In January 2013, the church was for sale as-is for $79,000. It requires extensive work and several stained glass windows and other architectural elements had previously been removed. The school buildings house the Detroit Academy of Arts & Sciences and were not affected by the foreclosure and sale.</p><br>
<p>The Tower of Parata  is a ruined Genoese tower located in the commune of Ajaccio  on the west coast of the Corsica. The tower sits at an elevation of 55 m on a rocky promontory, the Pointe de la Parata, to the north-east of the Îles Sanguinaires archipelago.</p><br>
<p>The tower was built in 1550-1551 by Giacomo Lombardo. It was one of a series of coastal defences constructed by the Republic of Genoa between 1530 and 1620 to stem the attacks by Barbary pirates. The tower is 12 m in height and has a diameter of 7.3 m at the level of the roof platform. It contains two vaulted rooms, one above the other.</p><br>
<p>In Genoese documents the tower is called the Sanguinera di Terra. A similar tower which once sat on the highest point of the Grande Sanguinaire island was called the Sanguinera di Fuori or the Sanguinera di Mare. The Grande Sanguinaire tower was demolished in the 19th century when the existing lighthouse was constructed. A second small tower at the south-west end of the Grande Sanguinaire island has survived. In a Genoese document it is referred to as the torretta piccola (little tower). It is now called the Torra di Castelluchju.</p><br>
<p>The Tower of Campumoru  is a Genoese tower located in the commune of Belvédère-Campomoro  on the west coast of the French island of Corsica. The tower sits at an elevation of 78 m on the Punta di Campomoro headland which forms the southern limit of the Golfe de Valinco.</p><br>
<p>The tower was designed by Carlo Spinosa and built between 1585 and 1586 by the master-mason Giorgio Canton. It was one of a series of coastal defences constructed by the Republic of Genoa between 1530 and 1620 to stem the attacks by Barbary pirates. In 1992 the tower was listed as one of the official historical monuments of France.</p><br>
<p>Since 1986 the tower has been owned and maintained by a French government agency, the Conservatoire du littoral. The agency plans to purchase 132 hectare of the headland and as of 2011 had acquired 70 hectare.</p><br>
<p>The Tower of Castelluchju  is a ruined Genoese tower located in the commune of Ajaccio  off the west coast of the Corsica. The tower sits on the southern end of the Grande Sanguinaire, the largest island in the Îles Sanguinaires archipelago.</p><br>
<p>The tower was one of a series of coastal defences built by the Republic of Genoa between 1530 and 1620 to stem the attacks by Barbary pirates. The exact year when the tower was built is not known but it is mentioned in a report written in 1597 for the Genoese authorities by the engineer Britio Tramallo and the lawyer Gieronimo Bonaparte. The report gives the dimensions of three structures on the island: a chapel, a round tower and the surviving small square tower. The small tower (la torretta piccola) now known as the Tour de Castelluccio, is recorded as being 5.6 m in height with walls 0.63 m thick at the base reducing to 0.31 m at the top. The large round tower was 6 m in height and 7.75 m in diameter. It sat on the highest point of the Grande Sanguinaire island but was demolished in the 19th century when the existing lighthouse was constructed. In Genoese documents the large round tower was referred to as the Sanguinare di Fuori or the Sanguinare di Mare while the Tour de la Parata was the Sanguinare di Terra.</p><br>
<p>Dismal Lakes are a series of three interconnected lakes in the Canadian Northwest Territories located roughly midway between the Coronation Gulf and Great Bear Lake, east of the Dease River. The Teshierpi River discharges into the narrows between the second and third Dismal Lakes, and the third lake discharges into the Kendall River. The lakes were named by explorer Thomas Simpson.</p><br>
<p>Two miles west of the western lake is Sandy Creek, which flows south into the Dease River. The west end of western lake is surrounded by bare hills covered in sharp broken rock, and it is from this barren area that the lakes get their name. Three small brooks enter the lake at this end, one from the south, and two from the west. Approximately six miles from the western end of the lake it narrows to half a mile, and on the other side of these narrows the lake is surrounded by rounded slopes covered with grass and heaths. There is a shallow sandbar extending across the eastern end of the lake.</p><br>
<p>The narrows between the first and second lakes are a favored crossing-place for the caribou. The narrow river is confined between steep gravel hills and has a fairly strong current.</p><br>
<p>The center lake is hemmed in by mountains. On the north side the Coppermine Mountains rise in terraces to nearly one thousand feet. There are some small spruce in a cove on the north shore. On the south side of the lake is Teshierpi Mountain, the southern-most spur of the Coppermine Mountains, rising approximately 800 feet. At the east end of the lake is a shallow sandbar which extends across the width of the lake, followed by a series of small willow covered islands.</p><br>
<p>The narrows between the second and third lakes is a short river with a sandy channel. The Teshierpi River joins this channel from the south.</p><br>
<p>The eastern lake is the smallest of the three, approximately three miles long and a mile wide. It is surrounded by gently rising grassy shores and, at a distance, mountains. There is a shallow sandbar extending across the eastern end of the lake. The third lake discharges into the Kendall River, which flows southwest into the Coppermine River. The extreme end of the third lake is sparsely wooded with small spruce, which extend down the Kendall.</p><br>
<p>The Dismal Lakes are one of the historical homes of Nagyuktogmiut, a Copper Inuit subgroup.</p><br>
<p>Tharp&#39;s Log is a hollowed giant sequoia  log at Log Meadow in the Giant Forest grove of Sequoia National Park that was used as a shelter by early pioneers. The log is named after Hale Tharp, who was described as the first Non-Native American to enter the Giant Forest.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Tharp had arrived in 1852 in the goldfields around Placerville, becoming a cattleman rather than a miner. Tharp moved to the area of the Kaweah River in 1856, and with guides from the Potwisha people of the area he explored the mountains above. Tharp went back in 1860 with his two sons. They climbed Moro Rock and made an encampment near Crescent Meadows. It was not until 1869 that Tharp moved a cattle herd into the Giant Forest area.</p><br>
<p>Tharp established a small summer cattle ranch at Giant Forest and used a fallen log as a cabin. The log was hollowed by fire through fifty-five feet of its seventy-foot length. A fireplace, door and window exist at the wider end, with a small shake-covered cabin extension.</p><br>
<p>John Muir described it as a "noble den".</p><br>
