<p>The E. A. Durgin House is a historic house at 113 Summer Street in Stoneham, Massachusetts. The two-story wood-frame Second Empire style house was built c. 1870 for E. A. Durgin, a local shoe dealer, and is one of Stoneham&#39;s most elaborately styled 19th century houses. Its main feature is a square tower with a steeply pitched gable roof that stands over the entrance. The gable of the tower is clad in scallped wood shingles, and includes a small window that is topped by its own gable. The house has a typical mansard roof, although the original slate has been replaced with asphalt shingling, with a cornice that is decorated with dentil molding and studded by paired brackets.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Onslow Gilmore House is a historic house at 477 Main Street in Stoneham, Massachusetts. Built about 1875, it is one of the few surviving Italianate houses of many that once lined Main Street south of Central Square. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. It now houses professional offices.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Onslow Gilmore House stands on the west side of Main Street (Massachusetts Route 28), between Linden and Gerry Street. Just to its south stands the nearly identical Clara Buswell House. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with an L-shaped floorplan that includes a porch in the crook of the L. Although the house has been resided, it has retained some of its Italianate detailing on the porch and front bay window. The porch is supported by bracket square posts, with valance-like woodwork between them, and the front-facing polygonal bay window has a cornice decorated with paired brackets. Narrow round-arch windows, also a typical Italianate feature, are found in the gables, and the building retains its slate roof. The house lot also retains original stone curbing and posts at the sidewalk edges on both Main and Linden Streets.</p><br>
<p>The house was built by Onslow Gilmore, a local businessman involved in real estate, insurance, and banking.</p><br>
<p>The Stoneham Public Library is the public library of Stoneham, Massachusetts. It is located at Main and Maple Streets.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The library was founded in 1859 by a committee of leading citizens, initially renting space near the intersection of Main Street and Montvale Avenue. In two years the library had accumulated nearly 1,500 volumes, most donated by older private library groups. As the library expanded its holdings over the following decades, it relocated several times to ever-larger spaces. By 1878 the collection had grown to over 5,000 volumes.</p><br>
<p>In 1903 the town was awarded a grant of $15,000 by philanthropist Andrew Carnegie for the construction of a permanent library building. This resulted in the 1904 construction of the modest Classical Revival building that forms the heart of the library complex at Maple and Main Streets. As originally built, this was a single story building made of Roman brick, and capped by a hip roof. Its main entrance was slightly recessed in a square archway flanked by pilasters and topped by an entablature. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, and was included as a contributing property to the Central Square Historic District in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The library&#39;s services, in addition to its circulating book collection, include access to online databases. The library is a member of the North of Boston Library Exchange (NOBLE), through which cardholders can access resources of other libraries in the region.</p><br>
<p>The Stoneham Firestation is a historic fire station at Central and Emerson Streets in Stoneham, Massachusetts. The two-story red brick Renaissance Revival building was built in 1916, and continues to serve as the town&#39;s central fire station. Its most prominent feature is its four-story hose drying tower, which is reminiscent of Italian Renaissance-era towers. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, and included as a contributing property to the Central Square Historic District in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and setting</h2><br>
<p>The Stoneham Firestation is prominently located adjacent to Central Square at the heart of the town&#39;s central business district. It is an L-shaped brick and masonry structure, two stories in height, with a flat roof that is obscured from view by a low parapet. The building is Mediterranean in style, primarily because of the four-story Tuscan tower that towers over it. There are narrow windows in the tower at the third level, above which is an elaborately decorated cornice. The fourth stage is open, with arched openings on each side and square piers at the corners. This is topped by a shallow-pitch tile roof with an dentillated cornice.</p><br>
<p>The station was built in 1916, and continues to serve as the towns central fire station. It has three equipment bays at the front, with office space in the rear portion of the ell. The tower was a common feature of early 20th-century fire stations, which required space for hoses to dry. This building, whose architect is unknown, is one of the towns finest Renaissance Revival buildings.</p><br>

The building is currently the headquarters of and.</p><br>
<p>Xiaoguwei, formerly known in English as French Island, is an island in the Pearl River Delta of China&#39;s Guangdong Province. It is now administered as part of Xinzao , a town in Guangzhou&#39;s Panyu District. The Guangzhou Higher Education Mega Center now occupies the entire island.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Xiaoguwei is about 17.9 km&sup2;.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>During the Canton trade, Xiaoguwei was used by French crews for repairs and burials. It lay on the southeastern side of the Huangpu or "Whampoa" anchorage. French access to Guangzhou was, however, frequently blocked by the British Navy amid its colonial, revolutionary, and Napoleonic Wars.</p><br>
<h2>Transportation</h2><br>
<p>Xiaoguwei is connected with Luntou in Haizhu District by tunnel. Bridges on the Nansha Port Expressway, a toll road, links it to Henan Island (Haizhu District) in the west and the rest of Panyu District to the south. A third bridge connects it to Haizhus Yingzhou Ecological Park and a fourth to Huangpu Districts Changzhou Island in the northeast.</p><br>
<p>The Guangzhou Metro has two stations on the island, the Higher Education Mega Center North and South Stations of Line 4.</p><br>
<p>Dozens of bus routes cross the island and connect its universities with downtown Guangzhou, the most important of which is Bus 381, which connects every university to the two subway stations. There are regular buses and express commuter buses using the toll roads and having fewer stops. Many of the express buses connect different campuses of the island&#39;s universities. In addition to these routes, some universities offer their own shuttle services for their faculty and staff.</p><br>
<p>Nereo Cave  is a huge underwater sea-cave situated on the north-west of Sardinia in the Coral riviera of Alghero, Italy. The name was given by the discovers in honour of the mythological figure Nereus, who is often billed as the Old Man of the Sea, father of the Nereids. The site is under the high limestone cliffs of Capo Caccia, 100 metres north of the famous Neptune&#39;s Grotto.</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>The cave is considered the biggest marine cave in the Mediterranean Sea. With the around 10 entrances, arches and tunnels, it is possible to make dives from 0 to 35 m, through long and large tunnels, air chambers and different ways. The walls are covered with red coral and yellow leptosamnia.</p><br>
<p>With the other cape of Punta Giglio and the Porto Conte Bay, the cave is part of a Marine reserve set up in 2003. Its flora and fauna are typically Mediterranean including groupers, lobsters, congers and moray eels, and thriving crustacean life.</p><br>
<p>Tivoli is a historic home located at Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It is a random stone ashlar masonry structure built about 1855 and consisting of a three-story, symmetrical Italianate main block, with a contemporary two-story, "T"-shaped service wing. It contains the administrative and clinical offices, the infirmary, and dining hall of the Woodbourne Center. It was the summer residence of Enoch Pratt, who purchased the property in 1870 and died here in 1896. It was also a home of Charles S. Abell, one of the owners of the Baltimore Sun Papers and whose wife gave the property to Woodbourne in 1925.It currently serves as the administrative building for the Woodbourne Center, a mental health treatment center for young adolescents.</p><br>
<p>Tivoli was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Lispenard–Rodman–Davenport House is a historic residence dating back to the early 18th century located on the Davenport Neck peninsula in New Rochelle, New York. The house is the oldest residential structure in New Rochelle. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1708 Antoine Lispenard bought from Jacob Leisler&#39;s son a half interest in the large peninsula, or "neck", jutting out from the mainland between New Rochelle Creek and Long Island Sound. Six years later he bought the other half. Across the inlet he built a dam and a tidal gristmill. Each incoming tide filled the millpond behind the dam, and then, as the tide ebbed, the water was released through a millrace to turn the mill wheel. Nearby the mill, on the neck itself, Lispenard built his home, a stone house of one-and-a-half stories, with the front eaves extending to form the roof of a wide porch.</p><br>
<p>In 1732 he sold his property to Joseph Rodman who later doubled the size of the house. By 1776 the house and Neck had passed to John R. Myers who owned it for the duration of the American Revolutionary War. During this brief period the house was used by the British as a hospital for their wounded soldiers.</p><br>
<p>In 1784 the property came into the possession of the Davenport family, and so is currently known as Davenport Neck. Generations of the Davenport family, and other owners after them made further changes to the house, so that the original structure built by Antoine Lispenard and Joseph Rodman is largely invisible. In the 1860s, the original roof was replaced by a modified mansard, topped by a cupola. Restoration by the late Louis Ferguson managed to reveal and preserve several elements of the original structure such as the hand-hewn beams of its frame and the lime mortar made from local oyster shells, used to cement its stone wall. Other features of the house include 20 in walls, 16 in pine floorboards and a 5+1/2 ft fireplace in the kitchen. Several Lispenard family grave-sites are also located on the property.</p><br>
<p>During the War of 1812, guards of the local militia were stationed in the neck to prevent a landing by the British fleet blockading the Sound. An incident erupted as the result of a relatively innocent encounter between an English landing party in search of fresh food and American sentries. Additional men were moved in and quartered in barns on the neck. The ensuing events, renowned locally as the Battle of Davenport&#39;s Neck, involved a false alarm that caused the entire militia to flee the area mistakenly believing they were under attack. In 1814, Newberry Davenport divided the neck between his two sons, Newberry Davenport, Sr. and Lawrence Davenport. Lawrence erected a house on his section in 1816, later known as Davenport Grange and the old Lispenard–Rodman House became the house of Newberry, Jr. This began a process whereby both branches of the family sold large plots of acreage to wealthy persons who established handsome homes and estates on the neck. About this time, Newberry Davenport, Jr. would have added the kitchen wing to the old house, continuing the stone fabric and gable roof of the main house. The grade level of the land around the house may have begun to be heightened at this time as access to the original basement kitchen was closed-off. There is no other evidence of the house changing significantly at this time. Newberry Dayenport, Jr. died in 1863, leaving his house and remaining estate to his two unmarried children, Lawrence Montgomery Davenport and Anna Davenport. Based on the financial successes of their predecessors, the later Davenports enjoyed a comfortable leisurely lifestyle, traveling to Europe, providing community services and participating in the sophisticated social circle that had enveloped around the prominent estates built in the neck. Lawrence M. Davenport had Alexander Jackson Davis design the neighboring San Souci. By 1865, he had sold it to Mrs. Anthony Walton White Evans, who hired Davis to design additions in 1871. The Davenports continued to sell property to the growing number of people searching for country seats on Long Island Sound.</p><br>
<p>Sometime after Newberry Davenport&#39;s demise the house was dramatically altered to conform to more of an estate taste with the addition of a gambrel-roofed second floor, porches and interior changes. The roof top ventilator was a functional part introducing the then modern idea of healthful living into the venerable structure. The principal (sound-side) rooms on the interior were embellished with new trim in a restrained manner. Windows were extended to floor level on the piazza and most sash were replaced with casements with an unusually configured muntin pattern. The rear and kitchen rooms remained essentially unaltered in the transformation. The property had been reduced in size to only a few acres as a result of the sale of waterfront lots immediately before the house to Adrian Iselin, a New York financier, and Clarksen N. Potter, former Congressman. The land level may have been further built up at this time and driveways rerouted.</p><br>
<p>When Anna Davenport died in 1913, Adrian Iselin&#39;s daughter Georgine acquired the property and lived there occasionally for the next thirty years. Colonial Revival style paneling and trim in the parlor and hall were added during her occupancy. With her residence, the house ceased to evolve and became a local historic relic.</p><br>
<h2>Site detail</h2><br>
<p>The house stands slightly in the western edge of what would have been the highest rise of ground of Davenport Neck, formerly known as Leislers or Le Comptes Neck. Long Island Sound, roughly 150 yards to the east, was one of its sea views. To the west, the Lispenard mill, built shortly after the house, stood at the end of what is now called Titus Mill Pond and still separates the neck from mainland. Half of this original pond was filled in, for the creation of athletic fields and a causeway across the Mill Pond in the early 1950s. The small promontory on which the house is sited may have been created with earthen fill in the nineteenth century. Lawns, distinguished by mature plantings, extend to the boundaries. Dry laid stone retaining walls create terraces west and south of the house. An early well house remains east of the house near an 1800s kitchen wing that contributes to the significance of the property. In 1968, a 1750s frame barn was moved from a neighboring Rodman family property to a site west of the house and has been adapted for use as a residence.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The Lispenard–Rodman–Davenport House is architecturally significant as the physical manifestation of the two-hundred-year evolution of an important regional house form and a residence of three families prominent in the history of New Rochelle. At each of its three major architectural stages, the house embodies distinctive characteristics of its type, period and method of construction. The house evolved from a pioneer stone structure built by a Huguenot close to the end of the seventeenth century to a mid-eighteenth century southern New York Dutch vernacular farmhouse type, and finally to a Victorian period suburban country seat inspired by a romantic Picturesque taste. These stages of development reflect the changing lifestyles and design taste in New Rochelle as it grew from a coastal settlement to a maritime center and residential satellite of New York City and convey a sense of the area&#39;s history over two centuries.</p><br>
<p>Additional significance is derived from the association of occupants of the house with the history of Davenport Neck. The Lispenard family was part of the group of Huguenot refugees who established New Rochelle in the late seventeenth century. Antoine Lispenard, the builder of the initial house, was the son of an important emissary of the English colonial government. He erected a dam between Davenport Neck and the mainland and established the first grist mill in New Rochelle. The property was sold to Joseph Rodman, two of whose children had married into the Lispenard family. Rodman further developed the milling business and was a member of the growing Quaker community that was expanding along the Sound and contributing to the industrial and mercantile sophistication of the area. However, the occupants with the longest tenure and most dramatic impact on the property were the Davenports. Within the 129 years of their ownership, the farmhouse was completely transformed into an elegant country seat and the farm was subdivided into independent waterfront estates owned by Davenport descendants and others. The Davenports participated in local commerce and government and were agents in the change experienced in the growing nineteenth century community.</p><br>
<p>Lion Brothers Company Building  is a historic factory located at 875 Hollins St, Baltimore, Maryland 21201. It is a multi-level building that once housed the operations of the Lion Brothers embroidery company. The original building was constructed in 1885 and expanded several times over the subsequent 75 years. In 1958 the Lion Brothers moved their production facility to another location allowing Marcus & Farber and Globe Screen Printing to move in. The building has been vacant since 2002 and Cross Street Partners has plans to restore the building as a local innovation center.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Lion Brothers Company was established in 1899, and originally located in a loft building at 109 South Charles Street. At first, the company produced a wide range of products including blouses, skirts, and sailor caps. It was one clothing factory among many in an extensive garment industry in the western portion of downtown. Their factory was destroyed in the 1904 Baltimore Fire, causing them to relocated to 875 Hollins St. At the time, the building was occupied by the John Cowan livery stable and hall. Cowan was an undertaker with a funeral home across the street at 1901 Hollins Street.</p><br>
<p>Lion Brothers purchased the livery building in 1911, roughly the same time that all operations were concentrated on Hollins Street and the company was no longer producing finished clothing, but instead specializing in embroidered emblems. The location of the company in the Poppleton area of West Baltimore was a departure from other garment related industries centered in the downtown area. This location had several advantages: (1) it was removed from the heavily built up downtown area that had suffered the devastating 1904 fire; (2) an ample working-class labor pool surrounded the factory; (3) it was close to the factory’s owners’ residences located in the vicinity of Eutaw Place; and (4) the production of embroidered emblems and insignias was a distinct specialty that did not require immediate proximity to other garment-related businesses.</p><br>
<p>The need for uniforms in the World War I era helped spur the growth and expansion of this company. By 1920, the company had outgrown the original three story building. Instead of relocating, they expanded to the north, eventually occupying nearly the entire block. An article in the Baltimore Evening Sun of January 14, 1920 announced the construction of the 1920 building, which doubled the plant capacity. The expansion made it the largest embroidery factory south of New York. Lion Brothers also purchased four sixteen-ton Sauer power looms for the enlarged facility for $72,000, nearly three times the cost of the new building.</p><br>
<p>The prominent Baltimore architectural firm Smith & May designed the new building, which was built by the Price Construction Company at an estimated cost of $25,000 and was ready for occupancy in June 1920. The ground floor was used primarily for manufacturing equipment, while the upper floor was used for drafting and design, and hand embroidery, taking full advantage of the natural lighting provided by the large exterior windows and roof monitors.</p><br>
<p>Within the next thirty years, the factory expanded three times. In 1935, an addition along Hollins Street virtually duplicated the 1920 addition. The 1983 addition on Boyd Street was similar to the earlier additions, but lacked the ceramic block insignia ornamentation and expansive column spacing of the earlier building. In 1948, an office and warehouse addition departed form the earlier design. This addition was announced in the July 1948 edition of Baltimore Magazine.</p><br>
<p>In 1958, the company moved to a six-acre site in Owings Mills in Baltimore County. By that time, the company was the largest manufacturer of embroidered emblems in the world and employed 250 people, and remained under the ownership of the Lion family. After Lion Brothers moved to Owings Mills, the building sold in 1961 to Marcus & Farber, a clothing manufacturer. The painted signs on the chimney identify this firm. In 1978, the building was sold to Leon Zimmerman, owner of Globe Screen Printing. In 2002, Globe vacated the building and move to Woodlawn in Baltimore County.</p><br>
<p>Lion Brothers Company Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>In 2015, Cross Street Partners in affiliation with the University of Maryland BioPark and Innovation District planned to redevelop the structure for office and institutional space. In 2017, the University of Maryland, Baltimore County Intermedia and Digital Arts Graduate Program became one of the tenants of the complex.</p><br>
<p>The Hans Schuler Studio and Residence is a historic home and artist studio located at Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It is an eclectic brick building constructed in two stages. The studio is one story high with a recessed skylight, and was designed by Baltimore architect Howard Sill and constructed in 1906; the residence is two stories tall plus a high, steep mansard story which was added in 1912. It combines elements from various fashionable styles and incorporating as ornament the work of sculptor Hans Schuler , for whom the building was constructed. It currently houses The Schuler School of Fine Arts and The Schuler Gallery.</p><br>
<p>The Hans Schuler Studio and Residence was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The LeDoux/Healey House is located on Deer Hill Road in Cornwall on Hudson, New York, United States. It was built around 1890 for a daughter of Lyman Abbott who was a summer resident of the area. It is considered a good example of the Shingle style and was renovated and expanded by later owners. In 1982 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The house is situated near the top of Deer Hill, a wooded area that is the highest point in the village. There are views to the Hudson River. It is a two-story hip-roofed shingle-sided frame building with polygonal and gabled dormer windows on its upper story. The west facade has a full-length stone veranda with shingled pillars, leading to an enclosed porch on the southern end. On the east, a small hipped roof overhangs an original Dutch door. Many original finishings and trim remain inside as well.</p><br>
<p>It was built around 1890 by the local firm of Mead and Taft as a summer residence during a time when Cornwall was becoming popular with New York City residents as a place to escape the heat in the summer. The architect is unknown. Its second owner greatly expanded it into its present form. Afterwards it became part of an estate. The carriage house renovated and expanded into a separate residence in 1972. It has remained a private house throughout its existence.</p><br>
<p>Lenore Lake is a partly saline lake in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada. It is part of the Lenore Lake Basin, which includes several saline lakes  as well as the freshwater St. Brieux Lake and Burton Lake. The basin has no natural outlet. Lenore Lake was designated a migratory bird sanctuary in 1925 and sustains a habitat for walleye, whitefish, perch and northern pike.</p><br>
<h2>Environmental concerns</h2><br>
<p>In recent years, water levels in the basin have risen to historic levels. Nearby Houghton Lake, a highly saline body of water, has drained water into Lenore Lake. To prevent the highly saline water from damaging the fish habitat in Lenore Lake, Environment Canada ordered the permanent closure of a culvert between the two lakes on May 10, 2010.</p><br>
<p>In 2009, Saskatchewan&#39;s Ministry of the Environment issued fish consumption guidelines for walleye and northern pike taken from Lenore Lake, due to the level of mercury detected in the fish.</p><br>
<p>Cronk ny Arrey Laa is a hill in the south west of the Isle of Man. It may be confused with a hill of a similar name in the parish of Jurby, further north along the west coast of the island.</p><br>
<p>At 437 m it is the second highest hill in this part of the island, after the South Barrule, 2 miles (3 km) to the east. It is in the parish of Rushen, although the boundary with the parish of Patrick is only about 200 metres to the north of its summit.</p><br>
<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>Its name means Hill of the Day Watch due to it having been used as a look out post for invaders during the time of the Viking invasions.</p><br>
<p>The mountain is also known locally as Cronk ny Irree-Laa, meaning hill of the rising day or dawn. It was said that when the sun broke over this hill, it was a sign to the herring-fishers to shoot their nets.</p><br>
<h2>Features</h2><br>
<p>Its steep western slope rises directly out of the sea in a cliff.</p><br>
<p>The area surrounding it has also been described by Trail Magazine as "some of the wildest terrain on any British coast path". and by Manx National Heritage as "amongst the most spectacular to be seen anywhere in the British Isles."</p><br>
<p>However, the summit is only about 500 metres from the main road between Port Erin/Port St Mary and Peel, and may be climbed as part of an easy day walk between those places. The summit is on the long distance path, the Raad ny Foillan.</p><br>
<p>The summit is one of the few places anywhere with views of what Manx people call "the six kingdoms" (Mann, England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and Heaven), with some adding a seventh "kingdom", Neptune (the sea). The boggy slopes are home to unusual plant species such as the carnivorous sundew.</p><br>
<h2>Pilgrimage site</h2><br>
<p>This is an ancient place of pilgrimage. Two particular sites on the slopes of Cronk ny Arrey Laa were visited: the "Chibbyr ny Vashtey" (well of baptism) and the Manx Keil (chapel) at Lag ny Keeilley on the steep western face.</p><br>
<p>National Enameling and Stamping Company is a historic factory complex located at Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It was constructed in 1887 to serve as the works of the Baltimore branch of the nation&#39;s largest tinware manufacturer, the National Enameling and Stamping Company . The densely packed complex fills an almost five-acre site and consists of 17 interconnected buildings and one structure that vary in height from one to five stories. The complex was organized to house three primary functions in discrete sections: the manufacture of tinware, the manufacture of enameled and japanned wares, and storage, warehousing, and distribution. The plant ceased production of tinware and enameled wares in 1952.</p><br>
<p>NESCO owner George Worth Knapp lived nearby at the Hilton estate and dairy farm near Catonsville, Maryland purchased in 1917.</p><br>
<p>National Enameling and Stamping Company was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>Procter and Gamble Baltimore Plant is a historic factory complex located at Locust Point in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It is a compact industrial complex built by the national corporation Procter & Gamble comprising five major three-story brick buildings spread over 10 acre. These major buildings are the Process Building , the Soap Chip Building , the Bar Soap Building , the Warehouse , and the Tide Building .</p><br>
<p>Procter & Gambles late 1920s decision to locate its second east coast soap manufacturing plant in Baltimore reflects the strengths of Baltimores industrial infrastructure in the early 20th century. Their choice of sites is particularly telling in light of Procter & Gamble&#39;s unique strengths as a corporation. Founded in 1837 as a family partnership, Procter & Gamble by the beginning of the 20th century had developed into a major USA corporation. Procter & Gamble pioneered practices such as radio and television advertising, application of technology developed by in-house laboratories, market research, brand-management systems, promotion from within the organization, employee profit-sharing, and rationalized production schedules. The company has long been known as an innovative, well-run entity that developed and refined methods that defined mid-20th century American corporate culture.</p><br>
<p>Material published in 1955 and 1964 provides an indication of the companys impact and operations. On the occasion of their 25th anniversary in 1955, Procter & Gamble placed an advertisement that touted the companys impact on Baltimore: Better Business! Most of the dollars that Ivory brings to Baltimore in P&G Payroll and plant-operating expenditures are quickly passed on to local business. Whenever possible Procter & Gamble buys the supplies and services it needs here in town. Better Jobs! Employees at Procter & Gamble are able to help make better jobs for others because they enjoy unusually steady jobs themselves -- are year- round customers for local business of all kinds. Procter & Gambles famous employment plan guarantees eligible employees 48 weeks work each year - - in addition to profit- sharing and pension benefits. Better Living!Tax money paid by P&G and other leading local industries benefits the entire community. It helps provide better schools and parks, greater fire and police protection.</p><br>
<p>By 1990, the Procter & Gamble Baltimore Plant was producing only soaps like Ivory and Camay, and synthetic liquid detergents like Joy, Dawn, and liquid Cascade. In 1993, Procter & Gamble set aside reserves to fund a major restructuring of the corporation, including plant consolidation. On January 13, 1994, they announced that the Baltimore Plant was one of four that would be closed.</p><br>
<p>Procter and Gamble Baltimore Plant was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The Metropolitan District Commission Pumping House is a historic water pumping station, adjacent to Spot Pond in the Middlesex Fells Reservation, on Woodland Road in Stoneham, Massachusetts. Built in 1901 by the Metropolitan District Commission , it is one of Stoneham&#39;s finest examples of Renaissance Revival architecture. The building  was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, and included in the Middlesex Fells Reservoirs Historic District in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Spot Pond was designated as the public water supply for Melrose, Malden, and Medford in 1870, with a dam at its southern end enlarging a natural body of water. In the 1890s it was made a centerpiece of the Middlesex Fells Reservation, and about 1900 its water supply function was taken over by the MDC. This Romanesque Revival building was designed by Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge and completed in 1901, as part of a general expansion of water service in the area, and was placed on the former summer estate of Charles Copeland. It is built of yellow brick with limestone trim. It has quoined corners, and features rusticated arched windows. It was extended with a side ell in 1923. In 1975 the building was extensively damaged by fire. Its tile roof and clerestory were lost, replaced by the present asphalt shingle hip roof.</p><br>
<p>When built, the building housed three steam-powered engines capable of pumping 90 million gallons per day; one of these machines was moved here from the Mystic Pumping Station in Somerville. These engines were replaced between the late 1920s and 1950s with large diesel engines. Spot Pond has been relegated to emergency service by the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, successor to the MDC. The pumping station now delivers water to area communities from a covered tank elsewhere in the reservation.</p><br>
<p>The Charles Wood House is a historic house at 34 Chestnut Street in Stoneham, Massachusetts. It is one of the most elaborate Italianate houses in Stoneham. The 2.5 story wood frame house was built 1875 for Charles Wood, but its occupation remains unknown. Its basic plan is an L shape, but there is a projecting section on the center of the main facade that includes a flat-roof third story turret, and the roof line has numerous gables facing different directions. There are porches on the front right, and in the crook of the L, with Stick style decorations, the cornice features heavy paired brackets, some of its windows are narrow rounded windows in a somewhat Gothic Revival style, and the walls are clad in several types and shapes of wooden clapboards and shingles.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, where it is listed at 34 Chestnut Street. The property is also a contributing resource to the Nobility Hill Historic District, listed in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Newton Lamson House is a historic house at 33 Chestnut Street in the Nobility Hill section of Stoneham, Massachusetts. Built c. 1887, it is one of Stoneham&#39;s finest Queen Anne/Stick style houses. It has a rectangular plan, with a gable roof that has a cross gable centered on the south side. The gable ends are clad in decorative cut shingles, and the gables are decorated with Stick-style vergeboard elements. Below the eaves hangs a decorative wave-patterned valance. The porch has turned posts and balusters. It is further enhanced by its position in the center of a group of stylish period houses, including the Sidney A. Hill House and the Franklin B. Jenkins House.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, and included in the Nobility Hill Historic District in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Millard–Souther–Green House is a historic house at 218 Green Street in Stoneham, Massachusetts. Built c. 1700, it is one of the oldest buildings in Stoneham. It is a two-story timber-frame structure with an asymmetrical four-bay facade. The entry is in the second bay from the left, with the slightly off-center large brick chimney behind. It has an added rear leanto section, giving it a classic saltbox profile. The window openings appear to be original in terms of size and position, a rarity for Stoneham&#39;s 18th-century houses.</p><br>
<p>The house was likely built by Thomas Millard, who sold it to the Souther family in 1725. It was later sold into the locally prominent Green family, and has long been a local landmark.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Nobility Hill Historic District is a residential historic district roughly bounded by Chestnut and Maple Streets and Cedar Avenue in Stoneham, Massachusetts. The district includes a number of high quality houses representing a cross section of fashionable housing built between 1860 and 1920. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Nobility Hill is roughly defined as a rectangular area bounded on the north and west by Cedar Avenue, on the south by Maple Street, and on the east by Chestnut Street. The area is located a few blocks west of Main Street and Stonehams Central Square. Maple and Chestnut Streets are both roads laid out early in the 19th century as through streets. The early significant development in this area was made by some of Stonehams wealthiest residents (thus giving it its name), notably John Hill and H. H. Mawhinney, both owners of shoe factories, and C. W. Tidd, owner of the Tidd Tannery. The land that made up Hills estate stands outside the district, on the south side of Maple Street, while Mawhinneys was located on the east side of Chestnut Street, where several houses now stand within the district. The Tidd estate was located in the area mostly occupied by Cedar Avenue and Poplar Street. Neither the Tidd nor Mawhinney estate houses survive, although stone walls and a gate survive from Tidd&#39;s, incongruously set in front of mid-20th century ranch houses.</p><br>
<p>The earliest architectural style to appear in the district is the Italianate, as typified in the house at 35 Chestnut, built about 1860, and a trio of houses at 9, 11, and 13 Cedar, built about 1870. Probably the finest example of the style in the district is the Charles Wood House at 34 Chestnut. The best example of Second Empire architecture is the c. 1870 Lorenzo D. Hawkins House at 1 Cedar. Stick style and Queen Anne houses are probably the most numerous in the district, with particularly fine examples in the Sidney A. Hill House, Newton Lamson House, and the Franklin B. Jenkins House, all in a row at 31-35 Chestnut. The latest building to contribute to the area&#39;s significance is the Dutch Colonial at 45 Maple Street; it was built about 1915.</p><br>
<p>The Warren Sweetser House is a historic house at 90 Franklin Street in Stoneham, Massachusetts. It is one of the finest Greek Revival houses in Stoneham, recognized as much for its elaborate interior detailing as it is for its exterior features. Originally located at 434 Main Street, it was moved to its present location in 2003 after being threatened with demolition. The house was found to be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, but was not listed due to owner objection. In 1990 it was listed as a contributing resource to the Central Square Historic District at its old location. It was listed on its own at its new location in 2005.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Sweetser House is located at the northeast corner of Franklin Street and Dale Court, a short way east of the center of Stoneham. Franklin Street is a major east–west through street connecting Stoneham to neighboring Melrose. The house is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a front-facing gable roof and a modern concrete foundation. Most of the house is sheathed in clapboard siding, but the front is entirely finished in flushboarding, as is part of the right side. The corners of the building are pilastered, with an entablature that encircles the building. The front facade, facing south, has a single-story hip-roof porch extending across its width and around to the right, supported by Doric columns. The facade is four bays wide, with full-length windows on the ground floor and smaller sash windows above. There are two sash windows in the fully pedimented gable end. The porch on the right side ends in a projecting section that houses the main entrance and a stairwell. Each side of the roof has a single gable-roofed dormer.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the house consists of a mix of Greek Revival elements overlaid by Victorian and Colonial Revival alterations, most of which date to the buildings conversion to a duplex in the 1890s. Room dividers with leaded glass and wooden spindled screens were added to the downstairs rooms, and similarly styled elements were overlaid on some windows. A complex bookcase system was added to separate the two public parlors.</p><br>
<p>The house originally stood at 434 Main Street, a short way south of Stonehams Central Square. It was built on that site in 1842 by Warren Sweetser, a prominent figure in the towns economic life in the 19th century. Sweetser owned a local dry goods retail store, and served for many years as the town postmaster. He was also involved in a small scale in the towns cottage shoemaking industry, which dominated its economy. Because Stonehams economy grew slowly during the time the Greek Revival was in vogue, this house is one of its few high-style houses in that style.</p><br>
<p>After Warren Sweetser died in 1890, his heirs converted his house to a duplex, adding the entrance tower to the right, the dormers on the roof, and a modern service ell to the rear. The house was sold out of the Sweetser family in 1929, and was eventually converted to commercial use, given its proximity to Central Square. In 1999 it was purchased by a developer, who announced plans to raze the building and redevelop the site. The town located a preservationist will to buy and move the structure, which was moved to a temporary location later that year. It was moved to its present location in 2000, although the lot is too small to accommodate the 1890s service ell, which was demolished.</p><br>
<p>The R.P. Turnbull House is a historic house at 6 Pine Street in Stoneham, Massachusetts. The ornately decorated Italianate house was built c. 1865 for R. P. Turnbull, a partner in the Tidd Tannery. The main block of the house follows a typical Italianate three bay plan with a large central cross gable section on the roof. The central entry is sheltered by an elaborately decorated porch, and the flanking bay windows are topped by roof sections with decorative brackets. The main cornice is studded with paired brackets, and the gable ends have decorative shingle work around round-arch windows, with some Stick style decorative woodwork at the point of the gable.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Caleb Wiley House is a historic house at 125 North Street in Stoneham, Massachusetts. Built c. 1826, this 2-1/2 wood frame house is one of Stonham&#39;s best-preserved late Federal period houses. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Caleb Wiley House is set on the north side of North Street, a major east-west route through residential areas of northwestern Stoneham, amid 20th-century residential houses that are mostly on smaller lots. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame house, five bays wide, with a side-gable roof, twin rear-wall chimneys, clapboard siding, and a granite foundation. Window and door surrounds are simple, with the second-floor windows butting against the cornice, a typical Federal period feature. Its front door is sheltered by a portico that is early 20th century in appearance, and has flanking sidelight windows. A screen porch is attached to the left side, and a modern addition is attached to the rear.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1826 by Caleb Wiley, at a time when North Street was lined with larger properties mainly in agricultural use. The original 47 acre lot of this house has long since been subdivided into residences, but this property retains mature plantings, and the main house is relatively little-altered since its construction.</p><br>
<p>The Williams–Linscott House was a historic First Period house at 357 William Street in Stoneham, Massachusetts. The oldest part of the house was said to date to c. 1712, but it is unclear to which part of the house this referred, on account of major alterations the house in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is believed to have begun as a four-room two-story structure built around a central chimney. This underwent significant alteration during the Federal period, including replacing the center chimney with smaller side chimneys, and the construction of four more rooms in front of the original four. Sometime around 1850 Micah Williams, a prosperous farmer, again refashioned the house in the then-popular Italianate style.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>Paulo Afonso Falls (Portuguese: Cachoeira de Paulo Afonso</p><br>
<p>) is a series of waterfalls on the São Francisco River in the north-east of Brazil adjacent to the city of Paulo Afonso. They stand up to 275 ft high. Upstream of the falls, a hydroelectric dam, the Hidrelétrica de Angiquinho (the first hydroelectric plant in northeastern Brazil)</p><br>
<p>blocks the flow of the river. Prior to the damming of the river, the average water flow over the falls was over 100,000 cuft/s, and floods exceeded 500,000 cuft/s.</p><br>
<p>The falls consist of a steep rapid that descends approximately 80 ft and then drops a main plunge of 260 ft into a narrow gorge.</p><br>
<p>The Paulo Afonso Hydroelectric Complex that grew from the original plant was known as Complexo Hidrelétrico de Paulo Afonso in Portuguese, or locally simply as Paulo Afonso.</p><br>
<p>Wikipédia (Portuguese): Complexo Hidrelétrico de Paulo Afonso</p><br>
<p>This, and later plants, such as the Hidrelétrica de Xingó downstream, near the town of Piranhas, Alagoas,</p><br>
<p>provide much of the region with electric power.</p><br>
<p>Boxhill, also called Winkworth, is a Georgian Revival house in Glenview, Kentucky, a small city east of Louisville, Kentucky. It was built in 1906 or 1910 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>As with other nearby mansions such as Lincliff, Boxhill reflects a period of Louisville history around the turn of the 20th century where wealthy Louisvillians built showcase homes along the Ohio River above Downtown Louisville. The 29 remaining mansions constitute the largest such collection along the 981-mile long river, and are among the best-preserved collections of turn-of-the-century estates in the United States.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>William E. Chess, president of the Chess and Wymond Cooperage Company, built Boxhill on a 75 acre tract on the Ohio River that he bought in 1906. The house, located on a bluff above the river, was completed by 1910. The Georgian revival house is reputed to have been designed by Boston architect Joseph E. Chandler. The landscaping, including elaborate gardens and a long tree-lined mall leading from the road to the house, is thought to have been planned by Bryant Fleming, a landscape architect from Buffalo, New York.</p><br>
<p>Chess daughter, Mary Grace Chess Robinson, took over the property in 1917. She and her husband, Avery Robinson, vice-president of a cordage mill, lived on the estate until 1923, when they sold it to Henning Chambers, a brokerage firm executive. Portions of the original estate were sold off during the 1950s. In 1956 sidelights and a cast-iron balcony were added to the houses entry and a second story was added to a wing.</p><br>
<p>In the early 1970s Robert and Shirley Alexander from Chicago bought the property. In 1977 they were murdered in Boxhill by their stepson. He was diagnosed a schizophrenic and found incompetent to stand trial for the murder. As the mansion had been the site of a grisly double homicide, the bank which came to own it found no buyers despite offering it for sale for over three years. In 1980, Helen Combs, a veteran contractor who had restored dozens of older mansions in Louisville, purchased it for $355,000. She described the restoration process as unique, even for her, saying "The windows were out, plastic was over them, there was no furniture.... We got to this one room and opened the door, and saw big red cabbage roses on the walls, red carpet, red bedspreads and red lamps that glowed."</p><br>
<p>Combs intended to live in the house but her husband, former Kentucky governor Bert T. Combs, balked at the idea, referring to it as the "murder house". She sold the house in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Union Meeting House is a historic church at 2614 Burke Hollow Road in Burke, Vermont. Completed in 1826 as a worship space for four congregations, it is a well-preserved example of vernacular Federal architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Union Meeting House is located on the east side of the rural village of Burke Hollow, on the north side of Burke Hollow Road east of the village&#39;s central intersection. It is a 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. A three-stage square tower rises near the front of the roof, with a pilastered belfry stage topped by a narrow spire. The front facade is three bays wide, with a pair of entrances flanking a raised Palladian window. The entrances are each framed by pilasters and topped by corniced entablatures, and there are half-round fanlight windows above them, at the same level as the equivalent element of the central window. The interior retains many original 19th-century features, including box pews, and a pulpit placed at the front of the building instead of the more common rear.</p><br>
<p>The town of Burke was chartered in 1782 and first settled in the 1790s. Early religious meetings were typically held by itinerant ministers in private residences and barns, and there was early disagreement about which denomination an officially settled minister should belong to. Church and state were officially separated in Vermont in 1806. In 1825 a union committee was formed by local Baptist, Congregationalist, Methodist, and Universalist groups to oversee construction of this building, which was completed in 1826. All of the original congregations either died out or abandoned the building by 1870. The building, a good example of vernacular Federal period architecture, was included in Herbert Wheaton Congdons important Old Vermont Houses, in which he described the evolution of meeting house forms in rural Vermont. Local philanthropist Elmer Darling established a trust fund for the buildings restoration and maintenance on the 100th anniversary of its construction.</p><br>
<p>Calvary Episcopal Church, located at 102 North Second Street at Adams Avenue, in Memphis, Tennessee, in the United States, is an historic Episcopal church, founded August 6, 1832 by the Rev. Thomas Wright. The nave  is the oldest public building in continuous use in the city of Memphis and was designed by Calvary&#39;s second Rector, The Rev. Philip Alston. There were several later additions: a tower in 1848, the chancel in 1881, the Parish Hall in 1903, and the Education Building in 1992. As Calvary Episcopal Church and Parish House, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Parish Information</h2><br>
<p>Calvary is an active parish in the Episcopal Diocese of West Tennessee.</p><br>
<p>Current clergy are as follows:</p><br>
<p>The education wing houses the Calvary Place Child Care Center, which serves working parents in downtown Memphis. Since 1928, the volunteer-run Waffle Shop has provided downtown Memphians with a simple weekday lunch during the season of Lent. The profits support outreach ministries of congregations throughout the city.</p><br>
<p>Douglass Place is a group of historic rowhouses located at Baltimore, Maryland, United States. Built in 1892, it represents typical "alley houses" of the period in Baltimore, two narrow bays wide, two stories high over a cellar, with shed roofs pitched to the rear. Italianate influence is reflected in their segmental-arched window and door openings, and in the simple molded sheet metal cornices which crown the buildings. Frederick Douglass  constructed the five buildings as rental housing for blacks in the Fells Point area of Baltimore, where he had resided from the 1820s to 1838. The site was the location of the Dallas Street Station Methodist Episcopal Church, which he had attended while living in the area.</p><br>
<p>Douglass Place was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>Lelång Lake is Swedish lake in Bengtsfors municipality in the province of Dalsland and Årjäng municipality in the province of Värmland.</p><br>
<p>The lake is of an elongated shape and stretches from Lennartsfors in the north to Bengtsfors in the south, a stretch of approximately 40 km. The lake can be reached by three sets of locks. The one located at Lennartsfors connects it to Lake Foxen, the one at Gustavsfors to Lake Västra Silen and the one at Bengtsfors to Lake Bengtsbrohöljen. In addition to this the lake stands in open connection to Lake Ärtingen 5 km (3 Mi) North of Bengtsfors. Lake Lelång forms part of Dalsland Canal.</p><br>
<p>The lake contains numerous species of fish, such as perch, pike, Salvelinuschar, salmon trout, burbot, atlantic salmon, bream, eel and minnow.</p><br>
<p>A canoeing competition named Dalsland Kanotmaraton + is staged every year on Lake Lelång and other lakes in the vicinity.</p><br>
<p>Montgomery Ward Warehouse and Retail Store is a historic warehouse and retail building located at Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It is a mammoth 8-story  concrete structure and is roughly shaped like a squared-off number "4." The front features a penthouse tower at the main entrance bay with a balcony and capped by a flagpole. The building houses over 1,200,000 ft&sup2; of floor space flooded by light from approximately 1,000 large multi-paned, steel frame windows. It was built about 1925 as a mail order and retail warehouse for Montgomery Ward adjacent to the railroad switch track and was one of nine large warehouses built by them in the United States.</p><br>
<p>From 2001-2002, the vacant warehouse was revived as an office building by Himmelrich Associates, Inc. for tenants including: the Maryland Department of Environment, M&T Bank, as well as other tenants.</p><br>
<p>Montgomery Ward Warehouse and Retail Store was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>

<p>The Selenter See is the second-largest lake in the North German state of Schleswig-Holstein, after the Großer Plöner See. It lies at an elevation of and has an area of 22.4 km².</p><br>
<p>The Selenter See, which lies near the village of Selent in the district of Plön, is 34 m deep. The lake drains into the Baltic Sea through the Hohenfelder Mühlenau, only 10 km long, to the north and by the Salzau to the northwest.</p><br>
<p>The formation of the Selenter See goes back to the ice sheets of the Weichselian glaciation, which hollowed out a basin and simultaneously formed ridges of terminal moraine up to 132 m high in the east and 90 m high in the south. From a geological point of view the lake is a so-called "tongue basin lake" or Zungenbeckensee.</p><br>
<p>The lake is well-known inter alia for plentiful supply of fish such as eel, perch, pike, and large and small whitefish and large quantities of roach.</p><br>
<h2>Bird reserve</h2><br>
<p>There is a 3,060 hectare bird reserve called the Selenter See-Gebiet which covers the lake and its bordering reed beds and carr areas as well as the Gottesgabe Wood. It is an important breeding, moulting and resting area for numerous birds including the kingfisher, bittern, whooper swan, goosander, great crested grebe, crane and sea eagle. The reserve is managed by a charitable organisation, the LLUR.</p><br>
<p>Griebnitzsee is a lake in the western outskirts of Berlin, the capital city of Germany. At an elevation of 29.4 m, its surface area is ca. 0.592 km². The lake forms the border between the German states of Berlin and Brandenburg. It is bordered in the north by the Wannsee district of Berlin, and in the south and west by the Babelsberg district of Potsdam in Brandenburg.</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>At its eastern end, near Kohlhasenbrück in Berlin, the Griebnitzsee receives water from the Teltow Canal. One third of this water flows into the adjacent Griebnitz Canal and through a chain of lakes towards the Großer Wannsee. The remaining water flows through the Griebnitzsee to its western end, where it flows into the River Havel near Potsdam.</p><br>
<p>The length of the Griebnitzsee is navigable, and forms part of the Teltow Canal route that links the River Havel with the River Spree and the Oder-Spree Canal, bypassing the reach of the River Spree through central Berlin. The navigable Griebnitz Canal provides an alternative link from the Griebnitzsee to the River Havel via the Großer Wannsee.</p><br>
<p>During the time of the Berlin Wall, the border between Berlin and East Germany ran down the middle of the lake. A patrol path existed for border guards along the southern shore. After German reunification, this path became a public lake-side promenade.</p><br>
<p>The Windgfällweiher is a reservoir between the Titisee and the Schluchsee in the south of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is located within the High Black Forest and lies in a hollow formed by ice age glaciation between the villages of Altglashütten, Falkau and Aha on the territory of the municipality of Lenzkirch.</p><br>
<p>The lake lies in a trough that runs from the Seebach valley in the northwest to the Schluchsee in the southeast and thus crosses the generally northeastward-running streams in the area. This remnant of a former valley is followed by the Three Lakes Railway that was built between 1920 and 1926 and by the transfer channel (Überleitungskanal), built in 1932 and belonging to the Schluchseewerk, which takes water from the Seebach valley via the Haslach valley to the Schluchsee Basin.</p><br>
<p>North of the low-lying watershed in this trough, between the Haslach in the north and the Ahabach in the south, now drowned by the impounded Schluchsee, the glacier of the last ice age carved out a basin, in which a small bog lake formed, the natural precursor to today&#39;s reservoir. This was enlarged in 1895 by the former Falkau Screw Works (Schraubenfabrik Falkau) with a dam in the north and the water surface raised by about 6 metres. At the same time the lake, which had only hitherto been fed from the east by the Kähnerbächle, was given another inflow in the form of a small leat (Hangkanal) from the southwest. Since 1932 the Windgfällweiher has been incorporated into the transfer of water from the Seebach to the Schluchsee (covered leat) and drained since then in the opposite direction i.e. to the south. The water is led via a ditch over the low watershed, initially as the Windgefällbach and later, the Schwarzach, into the Schluchsee.</p><br>
<p>Since 1950 the lake has been protected. In 2002 an angling and fish consumption ban was announced, because PCB had been discovered in the sediment depositions on the bottom of the lake.</p><br>
<p>On the wooded eastern shore of the Windgfällweiher, a lake barely touched by the streams of visitors to the area, lies a rather less picturesque bathing beach with a listed building.</p><br>
<p>The Windgfällweiher, together with the Schluchsee and Titisee, contributed to the name of the Three Lakes Railway.</p><br>

<p>Eastern Female High School, also known as Public School No. 116, is a historic female high school located at Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It was built in 1869-1870 and is typical of the Italian Villa mode of late 19th-century architecture. It is a two-story brick structure that features a square plan, towers, and bracketing. Eastern Female High School was founded in 1844 and was one of the pioneer high schools in the country devoted to secondary education for women. It was designed by Baltimore architect Colonel R. Snowden Andrews . In 1907 the high school moved to larger quarters, and since then a grammar school has occupied the building.</p><br>
<p>Eastern Female High School was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.</p><br>
<p>McKims School, also known as McKims Free School, is a historic school located at Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It is an archaeologically accurate Greek-style building. The front façade is designed after the Temple of Hephaestus, or Temple of Theseus, in Athens, Greece in granite. Six freestone Doric columns, 17 ft tall, support the entablature and pediment. The sides were derived from the north wing of the Propylaia on the Acropolis of Athens. The building site was funded by Quaker merchant Jon McKim who funded a trust for poor students managed by his son Isaac after his death in 1819. It was designed by Baltimore architects William Howard and William Small and erected in 1833. It served as a school and youth training center until 1945, when the building was adapted for use as the McKim Community Center. In 1972 the building was sold by trustees to the city.</p><br>
<p>McKim&#39;s School was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>It is included in the Baltimore Heritage Walk.</p><br>
<p>Wildcliff, also referred to as the Cyrus Lawton House, is a historic residence overlooking Long Island Sound in New Rochelle in Westchester County, New York. This 20-room cottage-villa, built in about 1852, was designed by prominent architect Alexander Jackson Davis in the gothic revival style. The home was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 31, 2002.</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>Designed in 1852 by Alexander Jackson Davis, one of the preeminent American architects of the nineteenth century, the house was sited to take full advantage of the dramatic views of the water. Davis’ original plan envisioned the family sitting on the villa’s front porch and looking out over the spectacular scenery. The beauty of the house and its site were accented by the progression of the entry drive. The visitor originally entered the property from the north along a private road. The curving drive ascended toward the house, proceeding toward Echo Bay and curving around to the front door. The family who first commissioned the design was one Cyrus Lawton, a close friend of Mr. Davis. Mrs. Lawton was a member of the prominent Davenport family, for whom the entire area is named, and the house was a wedding gift to the couple.</p><br>
<p>Wildcliff was erected in the early 1850s, during a period when New Rochelle was beginning its transformation from a rural farming community into a residential suburb. Improvements in transportation permitted affluent families to build homes in New Rochelle and commute to work in nearby New York City. The land along the scenic north shore of Long Island Sound was especially sought after and many of Davis designs were built here. His smaller homes were called "cottages", and the more substantial ones "villas", however the terms were frequently combined. Among their typical features were prominent, steep-roofed gables, with elaborately carved bargeboards under their eaves. Wildcliff is one of two "cottage-villas" built by Davis on New Rochelles waterfront peninsula Davenport Neck, the other being "Sans Souci" (or Davenport House).</p><br>
<p>After Cyrus Lawtons death in 1902, the property was inherited by his son Newberry Lawton Davenport. It was later purchased by Julius and Clara Prince who moved into the home in 1914. Clara Prince donated Wildcliff to the City of New Rochelle in 1940 with the hopes that it would be used as a natural science museum. Clara Princes obituary, "Mrs. Julius Prince". The New York Times, September 14, 1941, pg.49, notes that she was a "philanthropist who had given generously to educational projects" and that she was especially known for the donation of Wildcliff to New Rochelle in 1940, ten years after the City had tried in vain to purchase the property. It has since been used for a variety of purposes including a youth museum and performing arts center. Around 1970 a wing housing a theater was added at one corner of the house but the main structure remains intact.</p><br>
<p>Since late 2010, the local organization Jen&#39;s Community at Wildcliff has been working with the City of New Rochelle and its citizens to bring awareness to the building and to create a preschool and education center.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Wildcliff is a 2½-story house faced primarily in rubblestone of various colors. These stones give the picturesque design a natural quality, as if the building were rising out of the landscape. For a house in the Northeast, Downing prescribed a design with high roofs, thick walls, warm rooms, and chimneys. The original front façade of the building was on the southern portion of the present house facing Long Island Sound, now partially obscured by the out-of-character one story addition used as a theater. This facade originally had a 2½-story central gable with a pair of windows on the first</p><br>
<p>story looking out over the water. In the mid 1860s Davis designed additions to the house in the same style with special efforts made so that the changes would be as inconspicuous as possible. Bargeboards and other ornamental details match exactly and stonework was laid so that there would be no sign of the joint between the old and new sections.</p><br>
<p>Later owners Julius and Clara Prince were responsible for the second major expansion to the home which was done in the half-timbered Tudor style. The additions consisted of the construction of a porte-cochere, a new entrance on the south facade of the home, and the conversion of the original entrance into a long, twelve-part window.</p><br>
<p>The original plan of the house can still be read on the interior. To the south is the original library and entrance hall, now combined into one space. On the upper floors are bedrooms with steeply sloping walls reflecting their locations within the gables. The attic retains some original floorboards and four paneled doors with original knobs. The interior retains much of its historic plan and some historic fittings, but much of the interior detail has been lost.</p><br>
<p>Mallik Island  is one of the uninhabited Canadian arctic islands of Qikiqtaaluk Region, Nunavut, Canada. It is located in Hudson Strait between Baffin Island&#39;s Foxe Peninsula and Dorset Island. Mallik Island and Dorset Island are joined together by sand and boulders. Cape Dorset, an Inuit hamlet, is approximately 4.5 km away.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Mallik Island has varying elevations, the western portion being the highest at 274 m above sea level. In addition to low mountains, there are waterfalls and crystalline lakes.</p><br>
<h2>Fauna</h2><br>
<p>Beluga whales, caribou, peregrine falcons, polar bears, seals, and snowy owls frequent this area.</p><br>
<h2>Flora</h2><br>
<p>Its habitat is characterized by rounded hills and low tundra valleys, and includes tundra wildflowers.</p><br>
<h2>Territorial park</h2><br>
<p>Mallikjuaq Territorial Park spans both Mallik Island and Dorset Island. It is notable for its Thule culture, Dorset culture, and Inuit archaeological sites dating back as far as 3,000 years. From Cape Dorset, at low tide, the hike to Mallikjuaq Park takes approximately 45 minutes. It is also reachable by boat.</p><br>
<p>Otter Lake is a lake in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada. It is located 50 miles  north of La Ronge, Saskatchewan and is accessible from Highway 102. The lake is part of the Churchill River system. The Churchill River runs through the lake. It is approximately 10 miles long and 9 miles at its widest point.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>The hamlet of Missinipe is located on the western shore of Otter Lake while Grandmothers Bay Reserve #212 is located on the north shore of the lake. The lake is on the north side of Lac La Ronge Provincial Park and one of the parks four RV parks is located on the east shore. Two of the streets in Missinipe are part of the RV park. Missinipe is the Woodland Cree name for the Churchill River.</p><br>
<h2>Fish species</h2><br>
<p>Fish found in the lake include walleye, sauger, yellow perch, northern pike, lake trout, rainbow trout, lake whitefish, cisco, burbot, white sucker and longnose sucker.</p><br>
<p>Dorset Island or Cape Dorset Island is one of the Canadian Arctic islands located in Hudson Strait, Nunavut, Canada. It lies off the Foxe Peninsula area of southwestern Baffin Island in the Qikiqtaaluk Region. It is serviced by an airport and a harbour.</p><br>
<p>The island was named after the statesman Edward Sackville, 4th Earl of Dorset.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The island is 4 mi long and 2 mi wide, with its highest elevation 220 m above sea level.</p><br>
<p>On the southern end of Dorset Island, at an elevation of 243 m above sea level, the mountain, Cape Dorset, projects into the Hudson Strait. It is part of the Kingnait Range (Kingnait, in Inuktitut, means "high mountains"). The cape represents the southern tip of the Foxe Peninsula. On September 24, 1631, Captain Luke Foxe named the landform "Cape Dorset" to honor his benefactor, Lord Chamberlain, Edward Sackville, 4th Earl of Dorset.</p><br>
<p>Kingnait Hill, at 208 m high, is located on the island&#39;s north-west side. The shorter Eegatuak Hill is located 0.7 mi north of the cape, on its eastern side, rising 99 m above sea level, and exhibiting a distinctive bowl-shape surmounted by a cairn.</p><br>
<p>Mallik Island, directly to the north, is joined to Dorset Island by sand and boulders. A natural harbour exists in the peninsula formed by the southeast side of Mallik Island and the northwest side of Dorset Island with prevailing northwesterly winds at 10 to 15 knots, stronger in September and October. The anchorage may have heavy swell conditions and there is frequent fog during the navigation season of early August through mid-October. Ice break-up is around mid-July, and freeze-up occurs in early November. Winter ice thickness can be up to 1.2 m.</p><br>
<p>There are several other islands within 10 km, including Okolli Island and Sakkiak Island.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1913, a trading post was established on the island by the Hudson&#39;s Bay Company. A Roman Catholic mission was located on Dorset Island during the period of 1938 to 1960.</p><br>
<p>The first discovery of the remains of Dorset culture was on Dorset Island. An ancient Paleo-Eskimo people, they flourished in this area for about 2,000 years, during the period of 1000 BC through 1100 AD. Present-day Dorset Islanders, Inuit who descend from the later Thule culture, refer to Dorset culture people as tuniit in their legends.</p><br>
<h2>Community</h2><br>
<p>Across from Mallik Island, on the northern side of Dorset Island is located the Inuit hamlet of Cape Dorset (also named Kingnait). It is approximately 7.2 mi north of the mountain cape bearing the same name. Because the people of this community are known for their artisanship, including drawing, printmaking, and carving, the community of Cape Dorset is commonly referred to as the "Inuit art capital".</p><br>
<h2>Wildlife</h2><br>
<p>The island and its surrounds are frequented by Arctic wolves, polar bears, and Arctic fox, as well as caribou and Arctic hare. Seals appear regularly, as do beluga whale during their migration through by the island in October and April.</p><br>
<p>Peregrine falcons, snowy owls, ptarmigan and ducks abound. Ornithologists consider the islands cape a major entry way to the nesting area of the blue goose. In 1929, it was the departure point for naturalist Dr. J. Dewey Soper in his quest for locate the blue gooses Foxe Basin nest area.</p><br>
<p>Mallikjuaq Territorial Park spans both Dorset Island and Mallik Island. Notable for its Thule culture, Dorset culture, and Inuit archaeological sites that date back as far as 3,000 years ago, it is reachable by foot from Cape Dorset at low tide, or by boat.</p><br>
<p>Hendler Creamery is a historic industrial complex in Jonestown, Baltimore, Maryland. Since it spans an entire block it has addresses at 1100 E. Baltimore St. and 1107 E. Fayette St. "The Hendler Creamery is historically significant for its contribution to the broad patterns of history in three areas of significance: transportation, performing arts, and industry."</p><br>
<h2>Varying usages</h2><br>
<h3>Construction and architect</h3><br>
<p>The Hendler Creamery consists of two adjacent building complexes. The original 59,340 ft&sup2; three-story brick Richardsonian Romanesque building was constructed as a cable car powerhouse in 1892, replacing five old houses on the site. This use necessitated massive arched doors and a mezzanine floor. The construction is of red face brick with red mortar joints and Potomac red Seneca stone trim, and contains much architectural detailing. The front on East Baltimore Street includes four large contiguous Romanesque Revival half-round arched openings with four pairs of rectangular window openings directly above these. In reviewing plans for the building, the Baltimore Sun wrote at the time that it would be one of the most prominent structures in that part of the city and continued, "Economy, durability and simplicity are the controlling motives of the design, and a practical power-house, with a proper regard for architectural proportions and effect, without unnecessary ornamentation, is expected to be the result."</p><br>
<p>Additions were built in 1915-20 and 1949. It is also connected to a one-story brick building built in the 1960s. The second building complex is a 33,504 ft&sup2; brick warehouse structure built from 1923 to 1927.</p><br>
<p>The architect was Jackson C. Gott, a Baltimore-based architect who is survived by eight buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In the same year the Jonestown cable-car powerhouse was built, Gott also designed the currently named Charles Theatre building on North Charles Street, also for the Baltimore City Passenger Railway. It too served as a cable-car powerhouse, in this case for the BCPR&#39;s 2.2 mile Blue Line, which ran north-south, essentially along Charles Street, from South Street to 25th street. In the 1890s Gott further designed two other well-known extant Baltimore buildings: the Maryland Penitentiary, now the Metropolitan Transition Center (1894), and the Southern District Police Station at 28 E. Ostend St. (1896).</p><br>
<h3>Cable-car powerhouse</h3><br>
<p>As a cable-car powerhouse for the Baltimore City Passenger Railway Company from 1892 to 1898, the building played an important role in Baltimore&#39;s transportation history as cable-car mass transit was developed to replace the horse-car. According to the Maryland Historical Trust, the building powered the run of cable from Gay Street to North Avenue, using two Reynolds compound non-condensing Corliss steam engines, 24" + 38" x 60". These propelled a sheave which pulled a continuous loop of cable and moved the car at a speed of around 11 MPH. Just like a subway line today, this line was designated by a color, the Red Line, and ran from North Avenue, down Gay Street, around to Baltimore Street, Bank Street and Patterson Park. The total mileage was 10.7.</p><br>
<p>Electric cars began replacing cable cars on the Red Line on August 30, 1898 as a more economical and faster means of mass transit. Cables were removed immediately, but the expense of extracting the underground pulleys, sheaves and other fittings was too much, and in most instances they were just covered over as streets were resurfaced. With the switchover, The Baltimore City Passenger Railway Company was absorbed into Baltimore&#39;s trolley monopoly, United Railways and Electric Company, and power was generated at the Pratt Street Power Plant. UREC held onto the building for a few years, using the rear half as a "trouble station" for trolleys and renting out the front to the US Navy (Maryland) Naval Reserves for use as a drill-room.</p><br>
<p>In all, the two Baltimore cable-car companies, Baltimore Traction Company (BTC) and Baltimore City Passenger Railway (BCPR), built six powerhouses, three each. This was a very significant capital expense for an enterprise that only lasted from 1891 to 1899. Of the three and a half surviving powerhouses, the Hendler Creamery is the only one listed on the National Register. As mentioned above, another Gott designed powerhouse survives today as the Charles Theatre (BCPR), while the third totally extant powerhouse (BTC) lies three blocks south at 1110 East Pratt Street. The latter was most recently used as the Pratt Street Garage of the Baltimore City Department of Solid Waste. It is now boarded up and waiting some kind of adaptive re-use. It stretches a full block, between East Pratt and Granby Streets, and is surrounded by Albemarle Square, a 15 block area that revitalizes both a public housing project and the surrounding neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>While not having the architectural flair of Stanford White&#39;s nine-story Beaux-Arts Cable Building on Broadway (Manhattan) in New York City, the Hendler Creamery is one of the absolute gems of the American cable powerhouses that have survived. For the most part these structures evidenced utilitarian, warehouse style construction, which can be seen clearly in the extant LaSalle Street Cable Car Powerhouse.</p><br>
<p>The only other architecturally significant Baltimore cable-car powerhouse, the former Baltimore Traction Companys Druid Hill Avenue powerhouse and car burn, lost half its structure in 2005 in a spectacular 5 alarm blaze. It is a massive Victorian Romanesque-style brick-and-stone structure. The Epworth Powerhouse (BTC) on Mosher Street in West Baltimore had been torn down years before (see drawing below in gallery). It is a lesson in a sites metamorphoses: going from a church to a powerhouse to a dry cleaning plant, and finally, after demolition, to a high-rise apartment building today. The last powerhouse (BCPR) on South Eutaw, south of West Baltimore, succumbed long ago to the pressures of urban redevelopment.</p><br>
<h3>Yiddish theatre</h3><br>
<p>After the replacement of the cable car by electric trolleys, the Hendler Creamery was then converted into a performance space by Baltimore-born James Lawrence Kernan (1838-1912). He was a theater manager, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, who earlier in his life had fought for the Confederates, been captured and held as a prisoner till the war&#39;s end at the brutal Point Lookout Prisoner-of-War Camp at the confluence of the Chesapeake Bay and Potomac River. Returning to civilian life, among other ventures, he started a combination hotel and German Rathskeller and founded a hospital, which survives today as the University of Maryland Rehabilitation & Orthopaedic Institute.</p><br>
<p>Under Kernans ownership, a second floor, containing an auditorium and dressing rooms, was installed above the first-floor engine room. He named it the Convention Hall Theater. It operated primarily as a Yiddish theater from 1903 to 1912, serving the largely Jewish immigrant population. Some of the citys earliest motion pictures were also shown here by Kernan. Yiddish theater was first performed in Baltimore in the mid-1880s at Concordia Hall, an aristocratic club of Baltimore German Jews. It burnt down in 1891.</p><br>
<p>The buildings conversion to a theater links it to Baltimores early-20th century performing arts history, which includes melodrama, movies, opera, vaudeville, as well as the Yiddish theater.</p><br>
<h3>Hendler Ice Cream Company</h3><br>
<p>The buildings most important and longest historical legacy came when it was purchased by the Hendler Ice Cream Company in 1912 for $40,000 and converted to the countrys first fully automated ice cream factory.</p><br>
<p>Besides producing one of Baltimores favorite brands of ice cream, it played a major role in the development of the nations ice cream business. Many important pioneering industry innovations were developed over the next 50 years in this building, including new kinds of packaging; the blade sharpener, which produced smoother ice cream; and fast freezing, which allowed ice cream to be frozen with a liquid cream texture. The adjoining building at 1107 East Fayette Street, built in the 1920s as part of the Hendler Creamery complex, is also significant, notably in the creation of one of the nations first ice cream delivery systems by refrigerated truck. As the Maryland Historical Society noted in a blog posting, The Velvet Kind: The Sweet Story of Hendlers Creamery, "The ice cream was virtually everywhere in Maryland, as it was distributed to over 400 stores at the company’s peak, which kept the production lines humming. The factory ran six days a week with vanilla ice cream being made almost everyday. Vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry were production mainstays, but the creamery dabbled in more exotic flavors as well. Hutzlers department store sold several varieties, including ginger and peppermint. For the Southern Hotel, Hendlers supplied a tomato sorbet which was served as a side dish rather than dessert. The eggnog ice cream was produced each year at Christmas time. Hendler made with real rum, was a major hit. The factory also cranked out other holiday-themed products, such as an Independence Day treat made with vanilla, strawberry, and blueberry ice creams and a Mother’s Day cake topped with a silk screen of James McNeill Whistler’s portrait of his mother."</p><br>
<p>The creamery closed in the 1970s. The nearby Jewish Museum of Maryland has an extensive archive of Hendler Company and family memorabilia.</p><br>
<h2>Historic preservation designation</h2><br>
<p>The Hendler Creamery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>Reuse</h2><br>
<p>Following a fourth incarnation as a warehouse and city social services agency, the Hendler Creamery buildings are, as of the spring of 2014, being planned for refurbishment. The Commercial Group, a Maryland-based real estate and construction company, bought the building in 2012 for $1.08 million, and is planning a $45 million adaptive re-use, featuring 276 units, along with up to 11,000 sq ft of retail. The project includes exclusive amenities such as multiple outdoor courtyards, a pool deck overlooking the Baltimore skyline, basketball courts, and a yoga studio. Kirby Fowler, president of Downtown Partnership of Baltimore Inc., said redevelopment of the Hendler building would be the next chapter in a decade-long revival for Jonestown. “When you think about what that area used to be like 12 years ago, we’ve gone lightyears toward improvement,” Fowler said. “Albermarle Square is this incredibly progressive mixed-income project that came as the result of some HUD money and federal support, and it’s really helped expand Little Italy and Fells Point further north. There’s already progress heading in that direction, and this just continues that.”</p><br>
<p>Baltimore City officials have said that they view this location—two blocks east of the iconic Shot Tower, seven blocks west of the bustling campus of The Johns Hopkins Hospital and nine blocks north of the contemporary mixed-use development project Harbor East—as critical to attractively tying together the Hopkins medical facilities and Downtown Baltimore.</p><br>
<p>Central Island, also known as Crocodile Island, is a volcanic island located in the middle of Lake Turkana in Kenya. It is also the location of Central Island National Park, which is governed by the Kenya Wildlife Service.</p><br>
<p>It is composed of more than a dozen craters and cones, three of which are filled by small lakes. The two largest lakes partially fill craters up to a kilometre wide and about 80 m deep, the floors of which are near sea level. The highest point on the dominantly basaltic island reaches 550 m, about 190 m above the lake surface. An E-W-trending chain of small explosion craters cuts the eastern side of the 3-km-wide island. Several small islands to the SE represent partially submerged crater rims, and other cones and lava plugs lie beneath the lake surface near the island.</p><br>
<p>The youngest Central Islands tuffs and lavas may be as young as Holocene (Karson and Curtis, 1992). Fumarolic activity is concentrated along the NE-to-SE rim of the central crater, and sprays of sulfur from the fumaroles were observed by visitors in the 1930s. In 1974 intense emission of molten sulfur and steam clouds were seen from the mainland.</p><br>
<p>Maltby Lake is located on southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia. It is located 10 km north of Victoria, British Columbia in the Tod Creek Watershed. The lake is the headwaters for the watershed, which eventually feeds the world class Butchart Gardens.</p><br>
<p>Maltby Lake is a pristine freshwater source in the middle of a semi rural developing area on the Saanich Peninsula on Vancouver Island. The lake and the surrounding area of pristine land hosts an abundance of wildlife, exotic aquatic life (including freshwater jellyfish) and one of the largest Douglas fir trees in the Greater Victoria area.</p><br>
<p>For almost a century, until 2008, the lake and surrounding lands had been owned by a single extended family, which developed the property minimally. The first dwelling, an 1860s hunting cabin turned farm house, still stands. Motorized watercraft have been banned by the family since the &#39;50s; the lake provides a potable drinking water source for the few residents there. As land taxes continue to rise (in the order of 500x in the last 40 years), the owners endeavour to maintain this idyllic setting.</p><br>
<p>Maltby Lake is the most important water body in the Tod Creek Watershed and possibly on the entire Saanich Peninsula. It contributes to the catchment area of Tod Creek which is estimated to be 22.8 square kilometers (8.8 square miles). Maltby Lake, Prospect Lake, Durrance Lake and Quarry Lake are all in the Tod Creek drainage area.</p><br>
<p>Several studies have been conducted on the lake, including a Camosun College environmental study, a PhD on frogs and an ongoing study on the hydrology and hydrogeology of the lake.</p><br>
<p>Little Montgomery Street Historic District is a national historic district in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It is composed of approximately 15 19th century brick houses, some of which are double, that line the 100-block of West Montgomery Street and the northwestern portion of the 800 block of Leadenhall Street. All the buildings are small in scale and of brick construction, abut the sidewalks, are closely spaced, and are generally two to three stories high with two-bay façades. Nine of the structures are "half houses" that are only one room deep with a single pitch roof. The district is associated with a working class urban community where, throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries Baltimore’s native poor, struggling German and Irish immigrants, and freed southern blacks lived side by side competing for the same space and the same railroad and port-related jobs.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Loft Historic District North is a national historic district in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It includes 12 large 19th-early 20th century vertical brick manufacturing buildings centering on Paca, Redwood, and Eutaw Streets near the University of Maryland Campus in downtown Baltimore. Most of the buildings are still used for manufacturing purposes, although a few, including the Heiser, Rosenfeld, and Strauss buildings, have been converted into loft apartments or offices. They are representative of Romanesque, Victorian, and early modern industrial architectural design. It was in this area that Baltimore’s garment industry grew to national importance.</p><br>
<p>The Loft Historic District North was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>Dundalk Historic District is a national historic district in Baltimore, and Baltimore County, Maryland, United States. The district is a cohesive unit made up of residential, commercial, and institutional buildings with structures that generally date from 1910-1940. Major architectural styles represented include Period Revival  and Art Deco/Streamline Moderne. The District includes 962 resources contribute to its significance. It includes the only two housing developments built by the United States Shipping Board Merchant Fleet Corporation  in Maryland during World War I and reflects experimentation with Garden City planning ideals. Many of the buildings within the District represent the work of noted Baltimore architect Edward L. Palmer, Jr.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>John Sutton Hall is the of Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Constructed between 1873 and 1875, the building was the first constructed for the Indiana Normal School. In 1903, the building was named after John Sutton, the first president of the school&#39;s Board of Trustees. Sutton Hall was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>John Sutton, a merchant from Indiana, Pennsylvania, purchased land to establish a normal school to train women to become teachers. In 1873, construction of the building began. The Main Building was designed by James W. Drum, who also designed the original Indiana County Courthouse and the St. Bernards Roman Catholic Church. Construction was completed in 1875 with a final cost of $141,115, including furnishings. In the schools early years the building functioned as the entire school, containing classrooms, dormitories, an infirmary, a dining hall, and a gymnasium. In 1903, the building was officially named after Sutton. That same year, the north and south wings were extended to the west, and Thomas Sutton Dining Hall was added adjacent to the main building. In 1920, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania assumed control of the school. The name was changed to in 1927. It became Indiana State College in 1959. The college achieved university status in 1965 and became Indiana University of Pennsylvania. As more buildings at the school were constructed, activities were decentralized from Sutton Hall.</p><br>
<p>Sutton Hall was originally scheduled for renovations in the 1970s, but the Pennsylvania Department of Education advised that available funds would be insufficient to support the renovation and the $16 million library the university was planning. The decision to demolish the building was made in 1974.</p><br>

<p>Crab Island is a roughly 40 acre limestone island situated in Lake Champlain just outside Plattsburgh Bay in the town of Plattsburgh in Clinton County in upstate New York. During the War of 1812, the island was utilized as a military field hospital for convalescent soldiers as well as both British and American casualties of the Battle of Plattsburgh. The island is the site of a mass grave believed to contain the remains of roughly 150 of those casualties.</p><br>
<p>Crab Island is infamous locally for its poison ivy, which grows abundantly on the island. Its name is thought to come from the large amounts of "crabs" (referring to fossilized shells, trilobites, and other fossils) found along the island&#39;s limestone shoreline.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>The naval battle</h3><br>
<p>Crab Island played an important role during the September 1814 Battle of Plattsburgh. On the morning of September 11, 1814, the tiny island served as the southern end of Commodore Thomas Macdonough&#39;s battle line. Macdonough had moored his ships end to end between it and Cumberland Head to the north, forming a line across the entrance to Plattsburgh Bay. Macdonough strategised that this arrangement of his warships would either force the British to engage his anchored squadron immediately after rounding Cumberland Head, which would give him the advantage, or force them to sail farther south around Crab Island at his rear. In this case, the British ships would then come within range of the guns of the American fortifications ashore. To assist in this, a battery of two 6 lb cannon were also placed by the Americans on the northern tip of Crab island and were manned by a crew of convalescents from the field hospital. During the nearly two and a half hour action, an 11-gun British sloop, the H.M.S. Finch, commanded by Lieutenant William Hicks, ran hard aground on a reef just to the north-east of the island and became engaged in a fierce cannon duel with the Crab Island battery. Lieutenant Hicks would later recall that his crew "had the pleasure of killing or wounding every man at the guns on shore and silence them."</p><br>
<h3>The hospital</h3><br>
<p>The military hospital on Crab Island was first established around September 6, 1814, just prior to the Battle of Plattsburgh. The hospital consisted mainly of rows of "tents" quickly constructed of boards and canvas and several hastily built log structures. Convalescent or invalid soldiers who were unable to fight were initially evacuated to the island before the commencement of hostilities to prevent them from becoming caught up or overrun by the fighting ashore. Many of these were later transported in bateaus from Crab Island to a larger hospital at Burlington, Vermont, 25 mi across the lake. The islands hospital was placed under the direction of a USA Army surgeon, Doctor James Mann. At the time, the number of invalids on the general hospital reports alone numbered 720 men. Following the naval battle, as the nearest point of land to it, the Crab Island hospital absorbed the dead and wounded of both fleets. The dead, including those that died on the island and those that washed ashore, numbered 150. They were buried shoulder to shoulder in three long trenches to the south of the hospital. The bodies of officers killed in the battle, including one initially buried on Crab Island, all received military burials in Plattsburghs Riverside Cemetery, while the enlisted men were left in the mass graves out on the island. Crab Island is purported to be one of the only places in the world where both British and American soldiers were buried indiscriminately in the same graves. The actual site of the graves on Crab Island was never marked, and the exact site of their graves has never been established. Ninety-one of the deceased are known by name.</p><br>
<h3>Aftermath</h3><br>
<p>Following years of effort by numerous Plattsburgh citizens, money for a proper memorial on the island was appropriated by Congress in the early 1900s. In 1903, a 100 ft iron flagstaff, designed to be reminiscent of a ship&#39;s mast, was erected. This was followed in 1908 by the construction of a 50 ft granite obelisk, known as the Crab Island Soldiers and Sailors Monument, which included commemorative bronze plaques on each face. A series of inter-connecting gravel paths were cleared allowing access for visitors and a wharf was built to accommodate boats. A full-time caretaker was hired to live in a small cottage on the island and in 1909, by act of Congress, the island was officially renamed Macdonough National Military Park.</p><br>
<p>By 1930, the island had been mostly abandoned. The one and only caretaker had left in 1915 and the caretakers cottage burned in 1929. The island remained mostly devoid of activity until the 1950s, when United States Air Force personnel stationed at nearby Plattsburgh Air Force Base began a project of clearing portions of the island for a base recreational area. This initiative also proved short lived. In 1967, the Government auctioned the island off as surplus property, despite the presence of graves, monuments and a National Military Cemetery. Crab Island changed private hands several times throughout the proceeding decades and was only saved from development by the efforts of a vigilant few who succeeded in changing the islands zoning regulations.</p><br>
<h2>Crab Island State Park</h2><br>
<p>In 1988, the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation created Crab Island State Park after acquiring the island in order to prevent private recreational development of the site.</p><br>
<p>The state had initially attempted to purchase the property in 1986, however they were outbid at that time by Roger Jakubowski, a New Jersey businessman who was actively purchasing large amounts of Adirondack property during the late 1980s. Jakubowski hoped to operate the island as a recreational venture, and planned to offer boat tours, picnic and barbecue facilities, and camping.</p><br>
<p>These uses were viewed as being detrimental to the historic and cultural value of the island, and public outcry led to New York State using eminent domain to appropriate the island in January 1988. The state ultimately paid Jakubowski $210,000 for the island, $20,000 more than he spent two years prior. In 1991, Jakubowski sued New York State for $1.5 million in damages relating to the seizure of Crab Island. The case was settled in 1994 for an undisclosed amount.</p><br>
<p>Although New York State has no plans to officially develop Crab Island State Park, A bronze plaque placed at the foot of the flagpole memorializes the names of the American dead buried on the island.</p><br>
