<p>Polventon Bay , Mother Ivey&#39;s Bay, or Mother Ivy&#39;s Bay is a bay and bathing beach on the north coast of Cornwall, United Kingdom. The bay is on east side of the headland, Trevose Head and within the parish of St Merryn. The South West Coast Path, which follows the coast of south-west England from Somerset to Dorset follows the cliff above the bay.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The name Mother Ivey&#39;s Bay first appeared in 1870 and is named after a local wisewoman and white witch.</p><br>
<p>An auction for the ″Mother Ive Pilchard Fishery″ was held, on 30 September 1879, at the Western Hotel, St Ives. The sale was described as a going concern and included a nearly new, stone-built, slate-covered fish cellar with nineteen sleeping-berths, two seynes, two seine-boats, about thirty oars, horses, forty pilchard hogsheads, 170 tons of French salt, etc. The reserve price of £490 was not met.</p><br>

<p>The DeFreest Homestead is a historic house and barn located in the Rensselaer Technology Park in North Greenbush, New York, United States. The homestead and surrounding land are owned and managed by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. It was the original home of Philip DeFreest, one of the first Dutch settlers to arrive in the mid-18th century. The land includes historic buildings typical of a working Dutch farm: a farmhouse restored in 1984 to house the park’s administrative offices, and a Dutch barn.</p><br>
<p>The DeFreest House was built around 1765, partially constructed of European brick used as ballast in Dutch fur trading ships that sailed up the Hudson. Between 1630 and 1850, Dutch barns dominated the landscape in the Hudson Valley. They were distinguished by their H-shaped structural frame. The DeFreest barn was constructed around 1820 of thick, 50-foot beams of hemlock more than a hundred years old when hewn, and wood re-used from earlier structures on the site. The house and surrounding homestead were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<p>The DeFreest Homestead has been the interest of honorary trustee C. Sheldon Roberts (RPI class of 1948), and wife, Patricia. Roberts was one of the founders of Fairchild Semiconductor.</p><br>
<p>A donation from the Roberts family allowed for a renovation to make the historic barn into a modern classroom for local schoolchildren.</p><br>
<p>Patricia Roberts recalls, “I can remember first seeing the DeFreest House at the end of a muddy path and realizing that it must be saved in order to preserve our past but also, as importantly, to become the centerpiece of the Technology Park. We also recognized that the nearby Dutch barn could serve a similar purpose by preserving some of its history and giving it a new purpose — to become a launch pad for our children’s future.”</p><br>
<p>Phnom Kulen, also romanized as   is a mountain range in Siem Reap Province, Cambodia.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Rather than a hill range, Phnom Kulen is an isolated chain of small mountain plateaux of moderate height lying south of the Dângrêk Mountains. The range stretches for about 40 km in a WNW - ESE direction and is located some 48 km north of Siem Reap.</p><br>
<p>Its highest point is 487 m and its height is quite regular, averaging 400 m all along the range.</p><br>
<p>Geologically Phnom Kulen is formed of sandstone. It was important as a quarry in Angkorian times, the major quarries being located in the southeastern angle of the massif.</p><br>
<h2>Protected area</h2><br>
<p>There is a sanctuary in the area, Phnom Kulen National Park, straddling the districts of Svay Len and Va Rin. Its purpose is recreational and scientific in order to preserve the natural scenic features of Phnom Kulen mountain, like some famous waterfalls.</p><br>
<p>The park is located about 48 km to the north of the provincial town of Siem Reap.</p><br>
<h2>Tentative List entry for World Heritage nomination</h2><br>
<p>This site was added to Cambodia&#39;s national Tentative List for World Heritage on September 1, 1992, to be nominated under World Heritage criteria (v) and (vi).</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Phnom Kulen mountain range is located 30 km northwards from Angkor Wat. Its name means "mountain of the lychees". There is a sacred hilltop site on top of the range.</p><br>
<p>Phnom Kulen is considered a holy mountain in Cambodia, of special religious significance to Hindus and Buddhists who come to the mountain in pilgrimage.</p><br>
<p>It also has a major symbolic importance for Cambodians as the birthplace of the ancient Khmer Empire, for it was at Phnom Kulen that King Jayavarma II proclaimed independence from Java in 804 CE. Jayavarman II initiated the Devaraja cult of the king, a linga cult, in what is dated as 804 CE and declaring his independence from Java of whom the Khmer had been a vassalage state (whether this is actually "Java", the Khmer chvea used to describe Champa, or "Lava" (a Lao kingdom) is debated, as well as the legend that he was earlier held as a ransom of the kingdom in Java. See Higham&#39;s The Civilization of Angkor for more information about the debate). During the Angkorian era the relief was known as Mahendraparvata (the mountain of Great Indra).</p><br>
<p>Kbal Spean is known for its carvings representing fertility and its waters which hold special significance to Hindus. Just 5 cm under the water&#39;s surface over 1000 small linga carvings are etched into the sandstone riverbed. The waters are regarded as holy, given that Jayavarman II chose to bathe in the river, and had the river diverted so that the stone bed could be carved. Carvings include a stone representation of the Hindu god Vishnu lying on his serpent Ananta, with his wife Lakshmi at his feet. A lotus flower protrudes from his navel bearing the god Brahma. The river then ends with a waterfall and a pool.</p><br>
<p>Near these mountains is Preah Ang Thom, a 16th-century Buddhist monastery notable for the giant reclining Buddha, the country&#39;s largest.</p><br>
<p>The Samré tribe was formerly living at the edge of Phnom Kulen, quarrying sandstone and transporting it to the royal sites.</p><br>
<p>The Khmer Rouge used the location as a final stronghold as their regime came to an end in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Sights</h2><br>
<p>Chup Preah is a stream flowing into the mountain’s valley. Ku Len Mountain has two waterfalls. The first is between four and five metres high and 20 to 25 metres wide. The second waterfall is 15 to 20 metres high and 10 to 15 metres wide. These sizes apply to the dry and rainy seasons.</p><br>
<p>Preah Ang Thom houses a large statue of Buddha. It was built in the 16th century and is eight metres high. Preah Ang Thom is the sacred and worshipping god for Ku Len Mountain. There are also two large Cham Pa trees nearby. Besides Preah Ang Thom, Chhok Ruot, footprints of Preah Bat Choan Tuk, Peung Chhok, Peung Ey So and Peung Ey Sey, can also be seen.</p><br>
<p>The Linga is along the river of Siem Reap and has a lot of figures of Yoni and Linga spreading out at the bottom of the river.</p><br>
<p>The Terrace of Sdach Kum Ling has a small brick-built ruined temple in its centre. It was covered by lava for hundreds of years.</p><br>
<p>Slavens Cabin, also called Slavens Roadhouse and Frank Slaven Roadhouse, is a public-use facility in the Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve in Alaska. The cabin is located on the Yukon River, 42 mi southeast of Circle, Alaska, and 138 mi northeast of Fairbanks, Alaska. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Miner Frank Slaven began excavations at nearby Coal Creek in 1905 and built the roadhouse in 1932 with several friends. The roadhouse was used until the 1950s and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. It also is included in the Coal Creek Historic Mining District, which is itself listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The cabin was restored in 1993 for use as a visitor contact area and public use facility. A separate public-use cabin also was built in 1993 at the location.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story cabin built of 10 in hewn spruce logs. The original 21 x portion of the roadhouse, 19 ft tall, was probably built with a 16 ft overhang to the south. This portion was later enclosed.</p><br>
<p>The complex also is an official "dog drop" along the 1,000 mile Yukon Quest International Sled Dog Race route.</p><br>
<p>Lemah Mountain is a mountain peak in the Snoqualmie Crest, a part of the North Cascades Mountains, of the Washington state. It is located approximately 7.7 mi from the city of Snoqualmie Pass. Most noted for its five distinct summits, its name, Lemah, comes from the Chinook Jargon word Lemah, in turn derived from a French word, le main, meaning "hand". Lemah Mountain, like all of the Cascade Range, is approximately 15,000 years old, formed by rocks crumpled into mountains by the Cascadia subduction zone where the Juan de Fuca and North American plates meet.</p><br>
<p>The mountain has five separate summits, the highest of which is more than 7,480 ft above sea level. Lemah One (6,960), Lemah Two (7,280), Main Peak (7,512, also called Lemah Three), Lemah Four (7,200) and Lemah Five (7,040&#39;) make up these peaks. Each summit has an individual ascent path. Main Peak, the highest of the five towers, was first ascended in 1923.</p><br>
<p>The Lemah Glacier rests on the east slope of the mountain, and is mostly divided into three remaining sections. Lemah Creek, a stream named after the mountain, drains this glacier and eventually meets the Cooper River. Burnt Boot Creek drains another flank of Lemah Mountain, and it is a tributary of the Cooper River as well. On the western flank of Lemah is a small lake called Avalanche Lake.</p><br>
<h2>Ascents</h2><br>
<p>Lemah Mountain&#39;s main summit was first climbed by Wallace Burr and party on July 7, 1923.</p><br>
<p>Lemah One (6960&#39;), also called Lemah Thumb and Iapia Peak, was first climbed on the 1925 Mountaineer outing.</p><br>
<p>On the eastern spur of Lemah Two, there stands two rock towers, the lower of which is the more massive. The upper tower (7000&#39;), also known as Goatshead Spire, was first climbed on August 8, 1982 by Donald Goodman and John Mason.</p><br>
<p>Mount Blum, or Mount Bald, is a 7,685 ft summit of the North Cascades range in Washington state, on the western edge of North Cascades National Park. It is the highest summit of a string of mountain peaks located east of Mount Shuksan and west of the Picket Range. Two small active glaciers rest on its northern flank. Mount Blum was named after John Blum, a United States Forest Service fire patrol pilot who crashed nearby in 1931.</p><br>
<p>Six small glacial-fed tarns, called the Blum Lakes, occupy successive bowls on the southeast side of the mountain. Several other ice sheets are spread across cirques and basins on Mount Blum and neighboring peaks. Blum Creek, a stream named for the mountain, drains north and west off Mount Blum and flows into the Baker River, which in turn flows into the Skagit River. The Baker Lake reservoir, one of a series of reservoirs that impound the lower Baker River, touches Mount Blum at its far northeastern segment. Lonesome Creek and Scramble Creek also drain valleys east and north of Mount Blum, respectively. Steep cliffs and drop-offs in the valleys produce some extremely tall waterfalls, such as 1,680 ft Blum Basin Falls.</p><br>
<p>Skiing is an occasional activity on the slopes of Mount Blum. Despite the popularity of the sport, Mount Blum is nearly surrounded by trail-less wilderness, except the southern ridge that connects to Mount Hagan.</p><br>
<p>Mount Blum is composed of extremely firm granite. This intrusion is common throughout the range, and is much stronger than the looser rock that makes up Mount Shuksan and the Picket Range.</p><br>

<p>Mount Shuksan</p><br>
<p>Mount Terror</p><br>
<p>Mount Prophet</p><br>
<p>Mount Triumph is a summit in the North Cascades range of Washington state. Located approximately 5.5 mi west-northwest of the town of Newhalem, it was named by Lage Wernstedt, a surveyor with the USA Forest Service. A significant peak in North Cascades National Park, Mount Triumph is one of its "outstanding sights" and is well known among regional climbers for its lack of easy climbing routes to the summit. Despite its moderate elevation, its local relief is dramatic. With the terrain deeply dissected by the valleys of Bacon Creek on the west and Goodell Creek on the east, it rises 1 mi in less than 2 mi on the latter side.</p><br>
<p>The mountain is extremely rugged and one author describes it as "a rock thumb with near-vertical to overhanging faces on three sides."</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The mountain lies completely within the drainage of the Skagit River, Bacon Creek and Goodell Creek being tributaries of the Skagit. Two small glaciers are found below the east face and north faces, both of which are receding. The south ridge of Mount Triumph ends at a minor peak that has been called Thornton Peak (6,935 ft). On its south flank is a deep cirque that hold the Thornton Lakes, a chain of three lakes at 4,486 ft to 5,040 ft, the source of south-flowing Thornton Creek, another tributary of the Skagit River.</p><br>
<p>Mount Triumph is composed of old orthogneiss. Neighboring Mount Despair is an exposure of light grey granodiorite, part of the great pluton of the Chilliwack batholith, which is visible west of the Thornton Lakes. East of the lakes are dark amphibolite, orthogneiss and mica quartz schist.</p><br>
<h2>Climbing</h2><br>
<p>The easiest route to the summit is on the west. It is rated and can be dangerous when wet. The approach is by means of the Triumph Pass climber&#39;s route. The northeast ridge is more difficult at class 5.5, but is a notable climb on generally good rock. It is approached by means of the Thornton Lakes Trail. A scrambling route from Thornton Lakes Trail leads to the summit of Trappers Peak (5,966 ft) which provides good views of Mount Triumph.</p><br>

<p>Bestumkilen is a bay in Lysakerfjorden in the inner Oslofjord of Norway.</p><br>
<p>Located west of the Bygdøy peninsula and east of Vækerø, it is bordered by the islet Killingen in the southwest and the mouth of the river Hoffselva at Sjølyst in the northeast. It was formerly known, together with Frognerkilen, under the name Ladegaardsfjordene. This stems from older times, when Bygdøy was an island, named Ladegaardsøen. Bygdøy later became a peninsula due to post-glacial rebound, separating Bestumkilen from Frognerkilen. Propositions to reconnect Bestumkilen and Frognerkilen through a canal were made in 1928 and 1937, but not carried out.</p><br>
<p>The rowing club Bestumkilen RK and the canoeing club Oslo KK are based in Bestumkilen. There is also a harbor for leisure boats.</p><br>
<p>Pendleton Historic District in Pendleton, South Carolina is a historic district which is located mostly in Anderson County, South Carolina and partly in Pickens County, South Carolina.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. The historic district includes the town of Pendleton and its immediate surroundings plus a large tract west towards Lake Hartwell to include the Hopewell Keowee Monument and the Treaty Oak Monument. The entire historic district covers an area of over 6,300 acre.</p><br>
<p>It includes Woodburn, Ashtabula, and Old Stone Church and Cemetery, which are listed individually on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>Prior to the establishment of the Pendleton Historic District, parts of the district&#39;s area were in Oconee County, but that area became part of Pickens County.</p><br>
<p>Weißer See  is a lake in the Weissensee district of Berlin, Germany. Its surface area is 8.3011ha  and volume 360,606m. With a depth of 10.64m  it is one of the deepest areas of water in Berlin. Its dimensions are approx. 300m East-West by 350m North-South.</p><br>
<p>The lake and its surrounding landscape were shaped by the Weichsel ice age. It is embedded in the ground moraines of Niederbarnimer. During the melting of the ice a huge block of ice remained; when it subsequently thawed it created what is known as a kettle hole. This was the origin of today&#39;s Weisser See. Over the centuries settlements developed around the lake, mainly based on agriculture; the oldest known settlement dates from the 13th century.</p><br>
<p>During the past 150 years, through development of the near shore, the water balance and catchment area have been increasingly disturbed.</p><br>
<p>As a reminder of the cultural heritage of the Sterneckerschen establishment (Weissensee Castle), there still exists the Strandbad Weissensee (Weissensee bathing beach), dating from 1912. In addition to its role as a bathing and recreation area, the Weisser See also functions as an overflow lake for the Weissensee storm sewers. The water level in the lake is regulated by the Berlin water company and measured at the bathing place. During times of low rainfall water from nearby sources can be pumped into the lake underneath the observation deck. Since the expense of the pumping is met by the surrounding district of Pankow, this additional water supply is limited by financial considerations. Notable in the Weisser See is a centre fountain of considerable height, which with the help of the Young Pioneers Diving Club is put into operation each year.</p><br>
<p>The Weissensee Park surrounds the lake. On the banks of the lake there is a boat rental station and the historic Milchhäuschen (small milk house), a café that was well known in DDR times.</p><br>
<p>Walking Box Ranch, 7 mi west of Searchlight, Nevada in the Mojave Desert, was founded in 1931 by Rex Bell and Clara Bow as a working 400,000 acre ranch. The ranch covered 160 acre at the time it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 30, 2009. The ranch includes four buildings</p><br>
<p>Over the years, Rex and Clara entertained many notable Hollywood figures, including Clark Gable, Carole Lombard, Errol Flynn, and Lionel Barrymore.</p><br>
<h2>Later History</h2><br>
<p>The Walking Box Ranch was purchased by Bell from the Rock Springs Cattle Company. The company owned 1,000,000 acre in the Mojave Desert.</p><br>
<p>The Nature Conservancy purchased 151,331 acre of land that surrounded the Walking Box Ranch in June 1994.</p><br>
<p>The Walking Box Ranch was purchased by Las Vegas Gaming Investments in 2000 for $950,000.</p><br>
<p>Listing on the National Register of Historic Places was one of the goals set out in April 2006 by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and the Bureau of Land Management, co-managers of the property. The listing was awarded on January 30, 2009.</p><br>
<p>Sunfish Pond is a 44 acre glacial lake surrounded by a 258 acre hardwood forest located on the Kittatinny Ridge within Worthington State Forest, adjacent to the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area in Warren County, New Jersey. The Appalachian Trail runs alongside the western and northern edges of the lake. It was created by the Wisconsin Glacier during the last ice age. The lake was declared a National Natural Landmark in January 1970.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The land was purchased by Charles C. Worthington who used the forest as a deer hunting preserve; the lake supplied water to his mansion.</p><br>
<p>In 1965, there was a plan to create a reservoir which would have covered the lake. Casey Kayes, a local custodian, led 655 people on a hike to protest the plan. Further hikes and letter campaigns caused the power companies that owned the land to donate it to the state in 1966. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas mentioned the lake in his dissenting opinion in the Sierra Club v. Morton case.</p><br>
<h2>Flora and fauna</h2><br>
<p>The lake is surrounded by stands of mountain laurel, sheep laurel, and Cunila origanoides. Nearby are fields of Symphoricarpos orbiculatus. The lake itself also has Drosera rotundifolia growing near the edge.</p><br>
<h2>Visiting</h2><br>
<p>Sunfish pond is a popular hiking destination. Several trails reach the lake, including the Appalachian Trail which runs alongside the western and northern edges of the lake. It is the southernmost glacial tarn along that trail.</p><br>
<p>The shortest distance to the lake is 1.5 miles from a trail head on Old Mine Road. The trails are steep and rocky in places. There is no swimming in the lake. There is a Leave No Trace campground a quarter mile away, but proper food precautions must be followed since black bears are active in the area.</p><br>
<p>There is a collection of ad hoc primitive rock artworks (cairns) along the northwestern shore.</p><br>
<p>Torsburgen, Tors borg or þors borg  are the remains of an ancient hillfort in Kräklingbo on the Swedish island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea. The fort is approximately 1.2 km&sup2, was constructed in the 1st-4th century and in use until the 12th century. Situated on a plateau hill it is protected by high cliffs and wall sections, almost 2 km long in total. The fort is featured in the Gutasaga. The plateau is also a nature reserve.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Torsburgen is situated on, and encompasses the whole of, an eponymous plateau hill in the central east part of Gotland. With 10 - steep cliffs in the west, north and east, it rises above the surrounding flat landscape.</p><br>
<p>There are several caves in the cliffs along the northwest side, the deepest is the Burglädu (Gutnish for "Castle barn") at 16 m. Another is Linnaeus&#39; Cave, named after Carl Linnaeus who visited the hillfort in 1741. There is also the Rindarhulet. Rindi is Gutnish for ivy, a common plant on Gotland, and hulet means "the hole".</p><br>
<p>The hill and the surrounding area used to be covered with dense coniferous forest. Most of the forest was destroyed during the large Kräklingbo fire in the dry summer of 1992. Nevertheless, the area has given life to a wide variety of fire-dependent fungus, plants and insects, some of which are endangered species. Torsburgen has been ravaged by fires before. On his visit to the hill, Linneaus noted that the plateau was almost void of trees. He was probably referring to the great fire of 1655, which ravaged the Alskog, Ala, Ardre and Kräklingbo sockens.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The hillfort was originally constructed at the beginning of the 1st century AD. Reinforced during the 4th century, it was in use until c. 1100 AD. and it could have been providing refuge to the entire population of Gotland that is calculated to be between 6,000 and 10,000 in the early medieval period.</p><br>
<p>The fortification is approximately 1,300 x (E–W). On top of the wall was a palisade of logs. The limestone used for building the wall was quarried on site at a small quarry in the north part of the plateau. It has been estimated that the wall would take 3,000 men a year to build. Very little archaeological work has been done on Torsburgen, most of it is unexamined. Only four small metal objects have been retrieved during a minor excavation in connection to a restoration of the stone work at Ardre luke in 1983.</p><br>
<p>There are several openings in the walls, in Gutnish called luke (lucka), each with its own name:</p><br>
<p>Tjängvide like</p><br>
<p>Hajdeby luke</p><br>
<p>Glose luke</p><br>
<p>Ardre luke</p><br>
<p>Halsgårde luke</p><br>
<p>Ala luke</p><br>
<p>It has been suggested that Torsburgen was part of a defense system for lighting fire beacons on the many hill forts and plateau hills on the island, to warn the population about approaching enemy ships.</p><br>
<p>Torsburgen is the third largest hillfort in Scandinavia.</p><br>
<h3>Guta Saga</h3><br>
<p>In the exodus story of the Guta Saga, the mythological history of Gotland, a third of Gotland&#39;s residents once temporarily settled themselves in Torsburgen after they were ordered by the local government to move due to overpopulation concerns. These residents were eventually forced to leave Gotland altogether; they subsequently settled in Fårö and Hiiumaa before finally moving through Russia to Greece, where they became the descendants of the Goths.</p><br>
<h2>Nature reserve</h2><br>
<p>In 1994, Torsburgen was designated as a nature reserve. The reserve comprises the whole plateau and the area immediately surrounding its base, which translates to 158 hectare. The flora includes a number of plants that are rare in Sweden, such as hard shield-ferns, scorpion senna, Orobanche alba and the Pulsatilla vulgaris gotlandica; all of which survived the fire in 1992. On 30August 2005, the nature reserve became a Natura 2000 protected area. A number of endangered species of plants and insects on the IUCN Red List have been found within the area.</p><br>
<p>Adele Island is an island located in the Indian Ocean approximately 104 km North of Ardyaloon off the Kimberley coast in Western Australia.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The island is fish-hook shaped and has a length of 2.9 km and a width of 1.6 km and a total area of 217 hectare. It is low-lying and surrounded by extensive sandbanks lying over a limestone platform forming a large lagoon.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Nicolas Baudin named the island in 1801 as part of his expedition around Australia. The name of the island was first charted on the Freycinet Map of 1811. It was declared a Nature Reserve in 2001 in recognition of its status as a bird breeding sanctuary. Since then the Department of Environment and Conservation has embarked on a campaign to eradicate the island of the Polynesian Rats that are a constant threat to the native seabirds.</p><br>
<p>An acetylene-powered lighthouse was built on the island in 1951 it was later upgraded to solar power in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Birds</h2><br>
<p>The island is classified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area for its seabirds and waders. As well as breeding cormorants and Australian pelicans, globally important bird species breeding or staging on the island are lesser frigatebird with 2000-5700 breeding pairs, brown booby with 1500-8500 breeding pairs, grey-tailed tattler with up to 5500 individuals, and red-necked stint with up to 4100 individuals.</p><br>
<p>Camden Sound is relatively wide body of water in the Indian Ocean located in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.</p><br>
<p>Camden Sound is bounded by the Bonaparte Archipelago to the east, the Buccaneer Archipelago to the west, and Montgomery Reef to the south. There is no road access and the nearest town is Kalumburu, 268 km to the east.</p><br>
<p>Camden Sound was discovered by Captain Phillip Parker King on HMS Bathurst on 15 August 1821. He named the sound Camden Bay after John Pratt, 1st Marquess Camden.</p><br>
<p>Camden Harbour was a short lived settlement within the sound.</p><br>
<p>The area is a drowned valley in the western end of the MacDonald Range, the islands that are found within the sound are remnant emergent features formed by basalt and sandstone formations.</p><br>
<p>Camden Sound includes Augustus Island, at its northern extent, Champagny, Byam Martin and the Heywood Islands to the West, Bumpus Island, Rice Rocks, Sampson Inlet, Deception Bay and Prior Point to the South. As with the rest of the Kimberley coast, the area is marked by an extreme tidal variation of up to 11 m on a spring tide.</p><br>
<p>The area has received worldwide recognition as a crucial breeding and calving area for the Breeding Group D population of Humpback Whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) – at approximately 22,000 individuals, the world&#39;s largest Humpback Whale population. The calves are suckled in the warm, tropical waters for several months until they gain the strength for the journey back to the Antarctic for summer feeding. Camden Sound is rich in other cetaceans including the Australian Snub-fin dolphin (first described as a separate species in 2005), Blue Whales, Pygmy Killer Whales, Pilot Whales and Bottlenose Dolphins. In addition, the area is surrounded by fringing reefs with hard and soft corals, turtles, molluscs, fish and marine invertebrates.</p><br>
<p>In October 2009, Donna Faragher, Western Australias Environment Minister, announced that Camden Sound would become the Kimberleys first Marine Park, largely in recognition of the areas status as nursery and breeding area to the worlds largest population of Humpback Whales.</p><br>
<p>The Camden Sound Marine Park was the first of four new marine parks announced under the Kimberley Science and Conservation Strategy, and covers an area of 7,062 km&sup2;. The park is the second largest in Western Australia after Shark Bay and links to the Prince Regent National Park. The area includes Montgomery Reef, Champagny Island and St George Basin.</p><br>
<p>The marine park will encompass several different zones, including a whale sanctuary zone of approximately 1,067 km&sup2, two sanctuary zones comprising about 20% of the marine park area around Champagny Islands and Montgomery Reef, a pearling industry zone and general use zones. Another 48% of the park will be closed to trawling and 23% of the park closed to commercial fishing.</p><br>
<p>The marine park recognises two broad themes:</p><br>
<p>Habitat - comprising both geomorphic habitat (such as rocky shores and platforms) and biological habitat (such as seagrass)</p><br>
<p>Species of special conservation interest - comprising those species which are listed as having special conservation status (such as humpback whales) as well as species which are extracted for human use (such as targeted finfish).</p><br>
<p>Three native title claims have been registered in the area of the marine park by the Dambimangari, Uungu and Mayala native title groups. The Dambimangari claim lies over the majority of the park, with the Uungu claim overlying a small portion of the St George Basin, and Mayala at the southwestern end of the park.</p><br>
<p>The Elks Building is a historic building at 1218-1222 Hancock Street in Quincy, Massachusetts. The Colonial Revival building was designed by J. Williams Beal, Sons, and built in 1924. It is one of the city&#39;s more elaborate privately owned Colonial Revival buildings. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Elks Building is set on the east side of Hancock Street, the main thoroughfare through downtown Quincy. It is a three story brick structure, with limestone trim. The ground-floor retail spaces are faced in limestone, flanking a recessed entrance framed by Doric columns and topped by a wrought iron railing. The second floor has four round-arch windows, with limestone sills and keystones, flanking a central Palladian window flanked by paired pilasters. The third floor, separated from the second by a limestone stringcourse, has ten small windows grouped in pairs. Above that, a modillioned cornice is topped by a wooden balustrade.</p><br>
<p>The local Elks chapter was established by local businessmen in 1905, and first met in a variety of other meeting halls. Its first dedicated space, located on Foster Street, was built in 1907. As part of an urban redevelopment in the 1910s, the city demolished a number of wood-frame commercial and residential buildings along Hancock Street, and the Elks had this building put up in that area in 1924. It was designed by J. Williams Beal, Sons, a local architectural firm that designed several other prominent buildings in the city, including the Granite Trust Company and the Bethany Congregational Church. The building underwent a major rehabilitation in the 1980s, in which its storefronts were restored to their original appearance.</p><br>
<p>The Granite Trust Company is a historic commercial building at 1400 Hancock Street in Quincy, Massachusetts. The Art Deco building was designed by J. Williams Beal, Sons, constructed in 1929, and is ten stories tall. It was built for the Granite Trust Company , whose predecessor, the Quincy Stone Bank, was the community&#39;s first commercial bank. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Granite Trust Company building stands prominently in Quincy&#39;s downtown, at the southeast corner of Hancock and Chestnut Streets. The ten-story structure is faced in limestone and granite, and consists of a large base three stories in height, from which the central tower rises, the topmost levels stepped back in size from the intermediate ones. The ground-level storefronts are finished in granite, while the upper levels are finished in limestone. While it has some decorative elements, including panels of decorative stonework, most of its style comes from its vertically-oriented massing, including pilasters between some of the bays on the lower section, and the flattened pyramidal caps at their tops.</p><br>
<p>The Quincy Stone Bank was founded in 1836, and was the citys first commercial bank. It was notable at the time as the first commercial bank in the nation to raise capital via a public stock offering. In 1865 it received a national charter, and was reincorporated in 1912 as the Granite Trust Company. The bank commissioned the construction of this building, completed in 1929, as its headquarters. The building was designed by J. Williams Beal, Sons, Boston architects credited with a number of Quincys high-profile buildings.</p><br>
<p>Furnace Brook Parkway is a historic parkway in Quincy, Massachusetts. Part of the Metropolitan Park System of Greater Boston, it serves as a connector between the Blue Hills Reservation and Quincy Shore Reservation at Quincy Bay. First conceived in the late nineteenth century, the state parkway is owned and maintained by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation  and travels through land formerly owned by the families of John Adams and John Quincy Adams, passing several historic sites. It ends in the Merrymount neighborhood, where Quincy was first settled by Europeans in 1625 by Captain Richard Wollaston. The road was started in 1904, completed in 1916 and added to the National Register of Historic Places  in 2004.</p><br>
<p>Furnace Brook Parkway approximately bisects central Quincy on a southwest–northeast line, following closely the courses of Furnace Brook and Blacks Creek, the estuary into which the brook flows, crossing them several times. For the majority of its length it is two lanes undivided, with the exception of directional lanes at a traffic circle (called a "rotary" in New England) where it meets Interstate 93.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The parkway takes its name from the course of the stream it follows, Furnace Brook, which begins on the eastern slopes of the Blue Hills and meanders for about four miles from southwest to northeast through the middle of Quincy, ending where it meets the Atlantic estuary known as Blacks Creek near Quincy Bay. The brook was named in the seventeenth century for its proximity to the Winthrop Iron Furnace, also known as Braintree Furnace, the first iron blast furnace established in what would become the United States. The furnace and forge operation was started in 1644 by John Winthrop the Younger in the North Precinct of Braintree, which became the separate town of Quincy in 1792.</p><br>
<h3>Design</h3><br>
<p>The use of the land adjacent to Furnace Brook was first conceived by landscape architect Charles Eliot, who had apprenticed with Frederick Law Olmsted and later assumed leadership of Olmsteds design firm in 1893. Olmsted had been responsible for the development of Central Park in Manhattan and, with Eliot, had worked to create Bostons Emerald Necklace, a string of connected parks and waterways. Eliot was instrumental in the founding of The Trustees of Reservations and the public Metropolitan Parks Commission in the 1890s and envisioned an expansion of the parks network to areas surrounding Boston.</p><br>
<h3>Construction</h3><br>
<p>Funding for the proposed parkway along Furnace Brook was passed by the Massachusetts General Court in 1901. The proposed route of the parkway was soon also scheduled for use in directing a portion of a major sewer line from Boston to Nut Island at the end of Hough&#39;s Neck in 1902. The western part of the parkway was both planned and completed first, with plans for the section from Wampatuck Road to Hancock Street submitted in 1903. Construction of the roadway began in 1904, with a major component, a granite-faced concrete bridge carrying the Granite Branch of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad over the parkway route completed in 1906. Subgrading of the road surface from the Blue Hills Reservation to Adams Street was also completed at that time. Construction of the roadway from Blue Hills to Adams Street and most of the land acquisition required for the continuation of the route to Quincy Shore was completed by January 1908.</p><br>
<h3>Completion</h3><br>
<p>Further land acquisition and construction continued through the next several years. Also during this time new structures began to appear along the route, with a notable section of Colonial Revival-style triple deckers being added by 1910. Work on a stone and concrete bridge carrying the parkway over Blacks Creek began in the fall of 1915. Construction was finished later the next year and the completed Furnace Brook Parkway was officially opened for public travel on November 18, 1916.</p><br>
<h3>Post-completion</h3><br>
<p>Following completion of the parkway the speed limit was set at twenty miles per hour. This has been increased to the current limit of thirty miles per hour; a previously legislated restriction against the placement of advertising signs along the road has always been enforced. A gas station at 507 Furnace Brook Parkway was added in 1929, but has been replaced by a newly constructed dance studio (2011-ish).</p><br>
<p>The parkway route has been the same since completion in 1916, with the exception of one major interruption caused by the construction of the Interstate Highway System in the 1950s. Exit 8 of the Southeast Expressway, which carries Interstate 93 along with USA Route 1 and Massachusetts Route 3, was constructed over the right-of-way of the former New York, New Haven and Hartford rail line in 1956–57. The old Granite Branch railroad bridge was demolished and a portion of the parkway was replaced with a large rotary and system of ramps to serve the limited access expressway. In 1997, the southbound exit ramp from the expressway was moved 1,500 ft north to handle expected long queues of exiting dump trucks moving dirt excavated from the Big Dig construction project. The dirt removed was used to fill former granite quarries and create the land now occupied by the Granite Links at Quarry Hills golf complex located north of the parkway on Ricciuti Drive, which ends at the expressway southbound exit ramp for Furnace Brook Parkway.</p><br>
<h2>Route description</h2><br>
<h3>Blue Hills to Adams Street</h3><br>
<p>Furnace Brook Parkway begins at the east end of Wampatuck Road, one of the Blue Hills Reservation Parkways, located at the gated northeastern entrance to the Blue Hills Reservation at Bunker Hill Road in West Quincy. The reservation gates at this intersection are open during the day and closed from 8 PM to 7 AM. From Bunker Hill Road the parkway travels east to northeast for 1,300 ft before merging with Willard Street, formerly a northern segment of Massachusetts Route 37. The two roads enter the Furnace Brook Rotary as they meet amid single-lane directional roadways. Rotary traffic proceeds counterclockwise, with ramps entering and exiting the Southeast Expressway on either side of the limited access highway; Furnace Brook Parkway exits on the northeastern side of the rotary after passing under the expressway. Traffic traveling westbound on the parkway around the rotary is carried above the expressway on a bridge where it meets exiting southbound expressway traffic in a cross weave.</p><br>
<p>Beyond the rotary the parkway proceeds through a four block long commercial district, the only commercial presence on its length except for two gas stations. Although its general course is to the northeast, upon crossing Copeland Street here, it takes a wide swing to the northwest. Near Cross Street, it passes within 250 feet of the Winthrop Iron Furnace, which ultimately gave it its name. Between Cross and Quarry Streets, the Boston (northern) side becomes open land with the brook running down the middle of the open area, while the south side is residential. At Quarry street, its course is due north, and from here it goes generally northeast. From Quarry Street to Adams Street it is residential on both sides.</p><br>
<h3>Between Adams and Hancock Streets</h3><br>
<p>From Adams Street to Willow Avenue, the north side is the Furnace Brook Golf Course and the south is residential. Inset into the golf course is the Charles A. Bernazzani Elementary School. In this section, just west of Willow Avenue, the brook passes under the parkway to the south. From Willow Avenue to Newport Avenue, the north side is residential and the south side is occupied by the Rice Eventide Nursing Home, two residences, and the largest portion of Adams National Historical Park, including the Old House, the home of the Adams Family from 1788 until the early 20th century.</p><br>
<p>In the next block the parkway crosses under the MBTA Red Line and the Greenbush and Old Colony MBTA commuter lines, which parallel Newport Avenue. In this area the road has residences on the north and Furnace Brook on the south.</p><br>
<h3>Hancock Street to Quincy Bay</h3><br>
<p>On the southeast corner at Hancock Street is the Quincy National Guard Armory. South of the armory lies the Dorothy Quincy Homestead, a National Historic Landmark and the Dorothy Q Apartments, an NRHP site. In the section from Hancock Street to Southern Artery (Massachusetts Route 3A) the parkway crosses Blacks Creek at the point where the brook flows into the estuary. On the north side here is Merrymount Park and the Blacks Creek estuary, while the south is residential.</p><br>
<p>The last major section is from Southern Artery to Quincy Shore Drive. Here Furnace Brook Parkway traverses the northwest edge of Merrymount, the site of Quincy&#39;s founding in 1625. Beyond here, the view opens on the left to a panorama north across the creek and marshes to Quincy Bay and the Boston Harbor Islands beyond. Furnace Brook Parkway ends at the intersection with Quincy Shore Drive, with traffic crossing the drive continuing onto Shore Avenue.</p><br>
<p>Blue Hills Parkway is a historic parkway that runs in a straight line from a crossing of the Neponset River, at the south border of Boston to the north edge of the Blue Hills Reservation in Milton, Massachusetts. It was built in 1893 to a design by the noted landscape architect, Charles Eliot, who is perhaps best known for the esplanades along the Charles River. The parkway is a connecting road between the Blue Hills Reservation and the Neponset River Reservation, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>The parkway&#39;s northern terminus is a six-way intersection in southern Mattapan, a neighborhood in the far south of Boston. The junction includes River Street (which passes through the intersection), Cummins Street, Blue Hill Avenue, and the access road for the Mattapan MBTA station. Both Blue Hill Avenue and the parkway are designated Massachusetts Route 28 at this intersection. The parkway almost immediately crosses the Neponset River and then into Milton. The Truman Parkway branches west, and Blue Hill Avenue branches to the southwest (designated Massachusetts Route 138), and a short distance later Brook Road carries the Route 28 designation off to the east. It passes through a residential area, crosses Pine Tree Brook, and soon reaches its southern terminus, a rotary intersection (this is not a rotary any longer, it is a regular 4-way intersection with overhead stoplights as of at least 2015) with Canton Street and Unquity Road (the latter being listed as part of the Blue Hills Reservation Parkways). The parkway is about 1.5 mi long.</p><br>
<p>The parkway was laid out in 1894, and was one of the first connecting parkways designed by Eliot and the Olmsted Brothers. Land acquisition began in 1896, and construction took place in 1898. The Neponset River bridge was built 1901-03 Its major features include the Neponset River bridge, a granite-faced triple arch structure carrying six lanes of traffic. The complex of junctions on the south side is landscaped with a series of median islands and miters. The roadway is eight lanes in this area, allowing for turning lanes, and there is a c. 1823 granite mile marker in the grassy area on the west side of the roadway. South of the Truman Parkway interchange the road becomes six lanes, which reduce to five (two south and three north) after the Brook Road junction. The roadway for the southern stretch is canopied by trees that line the center median strip and the sides.</p><br>
<p>Brookwood Farm is a historic farm on Blue Hill River Road in Canton, Massachusetts. Some of its fields, but none of the buildings, are in Milton. It is owned by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and managed by the Department of Conservation and Recreation.</p><br>
<h2>Property</h2><br>
<p>Its oldest building, the Old Barn was built in 1690. The Cape Cod style house located on the street was built in 1800. The larger house, set about 1,500 feet (500m) back from the street, converted from a hunting lodge in 1954, has been considered for a Governor&#39;s Mansion. There are also several outbuildings. All of the buildings, except the Old Barn, are suffering from a lack of funding for their upkeep.</p><br>
<p>The farm comprises about 70 acres (30ha), about half in woods and the balance in fields. There are three ponds. It is bounded on the south by Route 128 / I-93, on the east by residences, on the west by property owned by Meditech and on the north by Blue Hill River Road (which is called Hillside Street in Milton). Across Blue Hill River Road is Great Blue Hill.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Its historical owner was General Samuel Parker, best known for his role in suppressing the 1919 Boston Police strike.</p><br>
<p>The farm&#39;s most recent private owner was Henry Saltonstall Howe, an insurance executive, who bought it in 1951, built the house, and lived there as a bachelor gentleman farmer until his death in 1994. He had donated the property to the state with a life estate in 1976, so on his death it passed to the management of the Metropolitan District Commission which later became the Department of Conservation and Recreation.</p><br>
<p>In 2006, the DCR granted a permit to Brookwood Community Farm, Inc., a non-profit, to organically farm 1 acre for food and flowers. That has continued through 2010.</p><br>
<p>The farm was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 25, 1980. The barn was added separately at the same time.</p><br>
<p>The Brush Hill Historic District is a residential historic district along Brush Hill Road in Milton, Massachusetts. It extends on the north side of the road from Dana Avenue to Brush Hill Lane, and on the south side from Bradlee Road to Robbins Street. Shortly before settlers migrated to Brush Hill in the 1650s, a significant forest fire struck the area causing trees to die and leaves to fall. When the settlers arrived, the hill was covered in brush, hence the name. The district includes a representative cross-section of residential development from c. 1670 to the late 1940s, and includes Milton&#39;s oldest house, the Robert Tucker House, at 678 Brush Hill Road. Brush Hill is one of the three main hills of Milton; Milton Hill, Brush Hill, and the Blue Hills.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Comfort Station is a historic "sanitary" on Blue Hill Avenue in Milton, Massachusetts. It is located in the Blue Hills Reservation, managed by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation.</p><br>
<p>Although finely detailed by Stickney & Austin in Swiss Chalet style, this is a very simple building, built in 1904 for a single purpose which it still performs today. It is approximately 35x22 feet(10x7m), divided approximately half and half between mens and womens toilets which sit on a terrazzo floor about five feet (1.5m) above grade. Two handicapped accessible toilets were added on the east (back) side during an extensive refurbishing in 2008. It is well preserved, with most exterior parts either original or carefully matched to the original.</p><br>
<p>It was originally adjacent to a trolley rest stop, but the trolley and the restaurant pavilion are long gone. It now serves visitors to the Department of Conservation and Recreation&#39;s Trailside Museum and people climbing Great Blue Hill, at whose base it sits. The Trailside Museum is owned by DCR and operated by the</p><br>
<p>Massachusetts Audubon Society through a 5-year permit agreement.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 25, 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Eliot Memorial Bridge is a footbridge which was built in 1904 in memory of Charles Eliot, landscape architect to the Metropolitan Park Commission. It is located on the Skyline Trail near the summit of Great Blue Hill in the Blue Hills Reservation, south of Boston, Massachusetts. Eliot was a driving force in the establishment of many of the Greater Boston area&#39;s early parks, including the Blue Hill Reservation. The bridge was built out of locally-quarried granite, and completed c. 1905-06. Built into its structure are a bench and commemorative plaque. The bridge, which crosses a small ravine, is a remarkably large and sturdy structure for the location.</p><br>
<p>The Great Blue Hill Observation Tower, known locally as Eliot Tower, a 35 ft stone structure, was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). Its rubble stone base is joined to that of the bridge and the two appear now to have been built together. The tower offers view over about 270°, including all of Boston, Boston Harbor, and much of the South Shore.</p><br>
<p>The two lie near the 635 ft summit of Great Blue Hill, a few hundred yards from and a little below the Great Blue Hill Weather Observatory, which is at the top of the mountain. The view from the observation tower toward the Observatory and its forest of radio, TV, and microwave antennas, is obscured by trees.</p><br>
<p>Both the bridge and tower were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>Gov. Thomas Hutchinson&#39;s Ha-ha is a historic ha-ha at 100-122 Randolph Avenue in Milton, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<p>The ha-ha (a sunken wall which permits unblocked views, while still serving functions of a wall such as delineating a border and preventing livestock from crossing) was constructed by then-Acting Governor Thomas Hutchinson in the early 1700s, when the land was part of his extensive Milton estate. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, and is a contributing property to the Milton Hill Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The ha-ha, which is of modest size, is now on the grounds of St. Michaels Church at 100 Randolph Avenue, approximately one block from Governor Hutchinsons Field, a property of The Trustees of Reservations. Park on the street and walk in the driveway to the left (north) of the church. The ha-ha, with a descriptive sign, is on the right before the bend of the driveway.</p><br>
<p>Milton Cemetery is a historic cemetery at 211 Centre Street in Milton, Massachusetts. Established in 1672, it is the town&#39;s only municipal burying ground. There are three distinct sections to its 102 acre grounds: the original burying ground, a tract of 3 acre which was in use between 1672 and 1854, a "new" section, laid out in 1854 in the rural cemetery style which was fashionable in the 19th century, and a "modern" section, established in 1945.</p><br>
<p>It was founded in 1672 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. Among those interred in the cemetery are:</p><br>
<p>Dennis Miller Bunker, American Impressionist Painter</p><br>
<p>James A. Burke, United States Representative from Massachusetts</p><br>
<p>Elbie Fletcher, Major League Baseball player</p><br>
<p>Edward A. Gisburne, United States Navy sailor and Medal of Honor recipient</p><br>
<p>Nathaniel Carl Goodwin, actor and vaudevillian</p><br>
<p>Howard Deering Johnson, businessman and founder of the Howard Johnson&#39;s restaurant and hotel chain</p><br>
<p>Wendell Phillips, abolitionist, advocate for Native Americans, and orator</p><br>
<p>Steve Trapilo, player in the National Football League</p><br>
<p>Paul H. Weinert, United States Army soldier and Medal of Honor recipient</p><br>
<p>The Milton Centre Historic District encompasses the traditional civic heart of Milton, Massachusetts. The district is located on Canton Avenue between Readsdale Road and Thacher and Highland Streets, and includes municipal buildings, churches, and residences, most built in the 18th or 19th century. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Milton Centre is located on a prominence known local as Academy Hill. The town was settled in 1633 as part of Dorchester, and was separately incorporated in 1662. Its first meetinghouse was built on Milton Hill, but Academy Hill was selected in 1727 (after many years of controversy) as the site of the towns third meetinghouse. The fourth meetinghouse, built in 1788, is now the First Parish Church, and is the oldest surviving building in the center. The towns economic activity was focused along the Neponset River, and the town center remained relatively rural until the 19th century, when Milton Academy was founded and located on land to its east. This was joined by the First Congregational Church in 1834, and a new town hall in 1837. The site of that town hall is where the present town hall (built 1970) is located.</p><br>
<p>The historic district consists of eleven historically significant buildings, set on about 23 acre of land bisected by Canton Avenue, between Readsdale Road and Thacher and Highland Streets. The districts civic buildings also include the town library, and two of its oldest surviving fire station buildings, including a rare example of an early chemical fire engine house. It also includes an 1811 powder house, which stored munitions during the War of 1812, and monuments commemorating the towns contributors to national efforts in the American Civil War and World War I.</p><br>
<p>The Railway Village Historic District is a historic district encompassing a densely populated, predominantly residential, area of eastern Milton, Massachusetts. The 30 acre district lies roughly between East Milton Square and the town line with neighboring Quincy. The area&#39;s significant growth occurred after the 1826 construction of the Granite Railway, which transported stone from the nearby granite quarries to the Neponset River. This resulted in the movement to the area of stone workers and related interests. The principal thoroughfare of the district is Adams Street; the district extends along Pierce Street, Granite Place, and Washington Street, and includes properties on intervening and connecting streets.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<p>The Suffolk Resolves House is the building where the Suffolk Resolves were signed on September 4, 1774. The Resolves were an important predecessor document to the Declaration of Independence. At that time, it was owned by Daniel Vose, who at his marriage had combined two existing buildings to make one house. The two parts are shown in the two gallery photographs.</p><br>
<p>To prevent its demolition in 1950, Dr. and Mrs. James Bourne Ayer moved it from its original location on Adams Street (where Citizens Bank now is) to its present location. They had it restored by William Morris Hunt and later gave it to the Milton Historical Society, for which it serves as headquarters.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 23, 1973.</p><br>
<p>The Arcade Building is a historic commercial building at 314–320A Harvard Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. Built in 1926, it is a two-story cast stone structure, with an interior arcade lined by small shops. It is the only arcaded commercial building in Brookline. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Arcade Building is located on the south side of Harvard Street, a major north–south route through eastern Brookline. It is on the west side of Coolidge Corner, one of the towns major retail areas. It is a two-story commercial structure, built out of concrete and cast stone. The front facade is topped by a precast concrete frieze, with Gothic spires above at the bounds of the buildings five bays. The interior of the building consists of a long two-story skylit atrium that is flanked by small shops on two levels. The interior retains many of its original features and fixtures.</p><br>
<p>The Arcade was built in 1926 by a local real estate developed named Johnson, to a design by George N. Jacobs. It is the only building of its type in Brookline, reminiscent of (but on a much smaller scale than) the Westminster Arcade, the nation&#39;s first enclosed shopping arcade, in Providence, Rhode Island. At the time of its construction, that part of Harvard Avenue was undergoing a rapid transition from a predominantly residential area to a more densely-built commercial area. The building continues to house retail spaces and professional offices.</p><br>
<p>The steamboat Bertrand, carrying cargo up the Missouri River to Virginia City, Montana Territory, sank on April 1, 1865, after hitting a snag in the river north of Omaha, Nebraska. Half of its cargo was recovered 100 years later. Today, the artifacts are displayed in a museum at the DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge near Missouri Valley, Iowa. The display makes up the largest intact collection of Civil War-era artifacts in the United States.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Bertrand was launched in Wheeling, West Virginia in 1864. It measured 161 ft long, with a beam of 32 ft; its total burden was reported as 251 tons. A shallow-draft vessel, it drew only 18 in when light, and perhaps no more than twice that when loaded.</p><br>
<p>Sources differ on the ownership of the Bertrand, but it probably belonged to the Montana and Idaho Transportation Line, based in St. Louis, Missouri. The firm was owned in part by John J. Roe of St. Louis.</p><br>
<p>On April 1, 1865, under the command of Captain James Yore, the steamboat struck a submerged log in the Desoto Bend of the Missouri River, about 25 mi upstream from Omaha, Nebraska. In less than ten minutes, it sank in 12 ft of water. No people died, but almost the entire cargo was lost; the estimated value of vessel and cargo combined was $100,000.</p><br>
<p>Over 100 years later in 1968, private salvagers Sam Corbino and Jesse Pursell discovered the wreck in the DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge, managed by the Department of the Interior. Since the boat was found on government property, the men had to comply with the Antiquities Act of 1906. They had to give all of the artifacts to the USA Fish and Wildlife Service for permanent preservation. The boat was excavated and over 10,000 cubic feet of cargo (over 500,000 artifacts) were recovered from the hold. This time capsule of life in 1865 is on display at the museum of the DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge near Missouri Valley, Iowa.</p><br>
<h2>Transportation systems and the Montana Territory</h2><br>
<p>The Bertrand was part of a large water-based regional trading system that developed during the mid to late 19th-century. Only since 1859 had steamboats been traveling up the Missouri River to Fort Benton, Montana Territory. When gold was found in the Alder Gulch Claim in Montana in 1863, streams of hopefuls migrated to the area from other states; they created one of the most prosperous frontier cities: Virginia City, Montana Territory. Within a year of the find, more than 35,000 people would be living within a 10-mile radius of the discovery point.</p><br>
<p>J.J. Roe and his partners entered the shipping business in 1864, creating a line to ship goods up the Missouri River to the frontiers of the Montana Territory. J.J. Roe & Co. also invested in the Diamond R Transportation Co., which established a system of ox trains to bring goods to more remote locations some hundreds of miles from the river. Prospectors and settlers created the demand for the goods that the steamboats were able to bring up the Missouri. By 1867, there were 113 different businesses registered in Virginia City to provide goods and services. Soon, the Alder Gulch Gold Camp grew into one of the largest frontier gold towns. It would prove one of the largest gold payoffs from the Rocky Mountains. The Missouri River was a major transportation route that sustained these Montana gold mines and the budding cities.</p><br>
<h2>Fur trade</h2><br>
<p>The river route was integral to the fur trade between St. Louis and the Indian country that provided the furs, which had been going on since the early nineteenth century. J.J. Roe & Co. consistently took goods upriver, and brought furs and other extractive materials back down the river. On one trip in 1865, the ship unloaded in St. Louis with 260 packs of furs.</p><br>
<p>The trip from St. Louis to this new Montana Territory took about two months and was often dangerous, due to encounters with the local Sioux Indians, but the profits were well worth the hardships. J.J. Roe entered the market with other merchants, businessmen and salesmen in this period, all earning their profits from supplying the demands of the settlers for consumable goods. This was an incredibly profitable economic niche on the frontier.</p><br>
<h2>Excavated artifacts</h2><br>
<p>The cargo found on the excavated Bertrand provides a unique glimpse into the material life of Virginia City, Montana Territory. The steamboat was full of clothing, tools, food and various consumer items on their way upriver. The ship’s cargo amounted to roughly 283 cubic meters. The collection includes: dried and salted beef, mutton and pork; oysters; pepper sauce; strawberries, peaches and peanuts; mustard from France; many bottles of whiskey including bourbon; brandy and brandied cherries; and medicine bottles. There were over 3,000 textiles and clothing items, including gloves, hats, trousers and 137 men’s coats in seven different styles. Household goods included mirrors, clocks and silverware; and there were various building supplies for the growing town. The largest consignment of the goods was bound for the Vivian and Simpson retailer in Virginia City. They would have also been sold from log cabin stores in the surrounding towns, including that of Frank Worden, the founder of Missoula.</p><br>
<p>Many of the goods were beyond the expectations for a primitive mining town. The ship also carried everything necessary to mine the Montana claim, including blasting powder, pickaxes and shovels. All the goods were fully insured, and the insurance company ultimately reimbursed the merchants for their losses. The men and women on the frontier were not totally isolated from the rest of the country and its consumption and fashion habits, but appear to have been relatively integrated and informed. The artifacts from the Bertrand represent the evidence of what kinds of goods flowed from St. Louis to the Montana territory during this important period of American state formation. More generally, water travel and the development of the steamboat played a major role in the settlement and development of America.</p><br>
<p>In 1974, samples of canned food from the wreck, including brandied peaches, oysters, plum tomatoes, honey, and mixed vegetable, were tested by the National Food Processors Association. Although their appearance, smell and vitamin content had deteriorated, there was no trace of microbial growth and the food was determined to be still safe to eat.</p><br>
<p>Mount Warburton Pike is a mountain on Saturna Island in the Gulf Islands of British Columbia, Canada. It is the highest summit in the Gulf Islands, other than Saltspring Island, and is part of the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve.</p><br>
<h2>Name origin</h2><br>
<p>The mountain is named for Warburton Pike (1861–1915), who alienated land on Saturna in 1886 and whose ranch included the mountain. Pike was an explorer, sportsman and author and wrote a book on his experiences in the Canadian North, The Barren Ground of Northern Canada. Pike&#39;s death was untimely and tragic. After returning to Britain to enlist for World War I and, being refused because he was too old, committed suicide. The summit and a rock in Active Pass were named for him, and a memorial was erected at Porter Landing in the Dease Lake region, where he had ventured in his years in B.C. The monument was donated by his friends Osborne Beauclerk, 12th Duke of St Albans and Marshall Latham Bond.</p><br>
<p>Mount Jurupa is the highest point of the Jurupa Mountains, located in northwestern Riverside County, California. The summit is just south of the Riverside – San Bernardino county line. A hiking trail leads to its summit, which offers panoramic views of Riverside, Fontana, San Bernardino, and Moreno Valley.</p><br>
<p>In a small canyon at the base of the mountain is the Jurupa Mountains Cultural Center, a non-profit educational facility that includes nature trails, gardens, and an Earth Science Museum.</p><br>
<p>The name can be traced to the Jurupa land grant dated September 28, 1838. Before the secularization of the missions, Jurupa was the name of one of the Mission San Gabriel ranchos. Jarupa was probably a Serrano or Gabrielino Shoshonean name.</p><br>

<p>The Bylot Sound is a sound in the North Star Bay, Qaasuitsup municipality, NW Greenland.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>This channel separates Saunders Island and Wolstenholme Island from the Greenland mainland. Its minimum width is 6 km, between Wolstenholme Island and the mainland point at its southwestern end. There is a tombolo named Uummannaq on the mainland shore at the eastern end of the sound by the former settlement of Pituffik.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>This strait was named after 17th-century English navigator Robert Bylot, who led two expeditions to find the Northwest Passage.</p><br>
<p>In the winter of 1849-50 under Commander James Saunders the North Star got frozen-in in the sound during an Arctic expedition to search and resupply Captain Sir James Clark Ross venture, who in turn had sailed in 1848 trying to locate the whereabouts of Sir John Franklins expedition.</p><br>
<p>While his ship was trapped by ice Commander Saunders named numerous landmarks in that area.</p><br>
<p>In 1968 a B-52 bomber carrying four thermonuclear bombs crashed in the ice of the Bylot sound spreading contaminated material over the whole sector.</p><br>
<p>The abandoned Inuit settlements of Narsaarsuk and Pituffik were located on the shores of the sound. Thule Air Base is currently the only inhabited place in the area.</p><br>

<p>The Byers–Evans House Museum is a historic house museum in Denver, Colorado, United States.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Byers–Evans house was built in 1883 by William Byers, the founder of the Rocky Mountain News and was sold to William Gray Evans in 1889. It is an Italianate style house which had several additions made to it over the years. William Evans lived in the home with his wife Cornelia Lunt Gray and their four children, John, Josephine, Margaret and Katharine. William&#39;s mother, Margaret Patten Gray Evans, former first lady of Colorado, moved into the home in 1900 with her unmarried daughter, Anne Evans. Members of the Evans family continued to live in the home until 1981.</p><br>
<p>The house was donated to the Colorado Historical Society in 1981, along with the entire contents of the house. The house has been restored to the 1912–1924 period and includes approximately 90% of the original furniture, glassware, china, and other household items belonging to the Evans family.</p><br>
<h2>Byers–Evans House Museum</h2><br>
<p>The Byers–Evans House Museum is located in Denver, Colorado, at 1310 Bannock St, directly behind the Denver Art Museum. Guided house tours are offered; the museum may not be viewed by self-guided tour. The museum is administered by History Colorado.</p><br>
<p>The Beacon Street Historic District is a historic district running most of the length of Beacon Street in Brookline, Massachusetts, roughly from Saint Mary&#39;s Road, near Kenmore Square, to Ayr Road near Cleveland Circle. It includes a small number of properties on adjacent streets, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>Beacon Street in Brookline was built in 1850-51 as an extension of the road over the mill dam that was constructed across the Back Bay of Boston, running from the end of Mill Dam Road to Cleveland Circle. The area remained predominantly rural, with small clusters of housing in the Cleveland Circle and Harvard Street areas. In the 1880s industrialist Henry Whitney, a Brookline resident, conceived of the Beacon Street corridor as a broad boulevard, lined with housing, with a streetcar line running down the middle, and began purchasing land. He retained Frederick Law Olmsted and John Charles Olmsted, noted landscape designers who were also Brookline residents, to design the boulevard. When the streetcar line (now the MBTA Green Line "C" branch) went into service in December 1888, it was the second non-experimental electric streecar service in the nation, after the Union Passenger Railway of Richmond, Virginia.</p><br>
<p>Most of Beacon Street is lined with multi-story residential housing, and is still roughly in the form envisioned by Whitney and the Olmsteds. Clusters of commercial development have supplanted some of the housing in the Coolidge Corner, Washington Square, and Cleveland Circle areas, but the roughly 2 mi stretch of road largely retains its residential character.</p><br>
<p>The Beaconsfield Terraces Historic District is a residential historic district at 11–25, 33–43, and 44–55 Garrison Rd. and 316–326, 332–344, and 350–366 Tappan Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. It encompasses a collection of architecturally distinctive row houses that were built between 1889 and 1892 by a single developer, and represent a unique early success in condominium ownership. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Beaconsfield Terraces are roughly centered on the junction of Tappan Street and Garrison Road, a short way west of Brookline&#39;s Washington Square. Three of the six buildings line the west side of Tappan Street, while the other three line the north side of Garrison Road. A seventh building, not included in this historic district, fronts on Beacon Street, and is included in the Beacon Street Historic District. The oldest of the buildings, 350–366 Tappan, was built in 1889 out of yellow brick and stone, and has Chateauesque styling, a style used in four of the six buildings. These buildings feature steeply-pitched roofs, round-arch entranceways, corbelled brickwork decoration, gabled wall dormers, and polygonal window bays. One building has a distinctively Flemish character, with buttressed wall gables, and limestone pinnacles. The last two buildings are Georgian Revival, with red brick exterior and entrance porticoes with Corinthian columns.</p><br>
<p>The Terraces were designed by the Boston architectural firm of Fehmer and Page for the developer, Eugene Knapp, who had seen developments involving condominium ownership in England, and sought to recreate them here. He purchased land from the Henry Whitney (the principal developer of Beacon Street, and oversaw this development, which included (in addition to the row houses), a park, stables, casino (playhouse), and playground. Of his original development, only the row houses survive, the remaining land having been redeveloped into other uses. The development was an immediate success, attracting some high-profile residents, including William Shreve of Shreve, Crump & Low. Knapp was financially overextended by the development, and eventually sold his interest back to Whitney.</p><br>
<p>The William Ingersoll Bowditch House is a historic house at 9 Toxteth Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. It is a good example of vernacular Gothic and Greek Revival architecture, built c. 1844-45 as part of one of Brookline&#39;s earliest formal residential subdivisions. William Bowditch, the first owner, was an active abolitionist who sheltered fugitive slaves as part of the Underground Railroad, and was a member of the Boston Vigilance Committee. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 17, 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The William Ingersoll Bowditch House stands in a residential area northeast of the commercial area of Brookline Village, on the east side of Toxteth Street near its southern end. It faces west toward Linden Square. It is a 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, with an L-shaped plan, cross-gabled roof, and clapboarded exterior. A single-story shed-roof porch is located in the crook of the L. The windows under the porch are of full length, and the main entrance, also under the porch, has flanking full-length sidelight windows. Window openings are framed by drip moulding, and the roof is adorned with dormers that have steeply pitched roofs in the Gothic style.</p><br>
<p>The Linden Square area was subdivided in the 1840s by Thomas Aspinwall Davis on family farmland, its layout designed by Alexander Wadsworth. This house was built on land from several parcels in the subdivision in 1844-45 for William Ingersoll Bowditch, who lived here until 1867. Bowditch was active in local politics, serving on the board of selectmen and as moderator of the town meeting. Before the American Civil War he was an ardent abolitionist, serving on the Boston Vigilance Committee, which assisted fugitive slaves. Bowditch is documented to have sheltered at least one fugitive couple, and also hosted the son of John Brown.</p><br>
<p>The Brookline Town Green Historic District encompasses the historic colonial heart of the town of Brookline, Massachusetts. Centered on a stretch of Walnut Street between Warren and Chestnut Streets, this area is where the town&#39;s first colonial meeting house and cemetery were laid out, and was its center of civic life until the early 19th century. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The area that is now the town of Brookline was known as Muddy River in the 17th century, after a crossing point of the eponymous river. The town was incorporated in 1705, and the site for its first meeting house and cemetery were chosen near what was at the time its geographic center. Brookline is unusual in Massachusetts in that its first meeting house still survives: it is a stone structure built in 1717, now serving as the parish hall of the First Parish Church on Walnut Street. The towns Old Burying Ground, located at Walnut and Chestnut Streets, was also laid out at that time. When the Worcester Turnpike (now Massachusetts Route 9) opened in the early 19th century, the towns civic focus moved to Brookline Village. Later in the 19th century, the surrounding farmland was subdivided and fashionable residences were built.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is bounded on the east by Kennard Street, Chestnut Place, and a portion of Chestnut Street, and on the south by Codman Place, part of Walnut Street, Welch Road, and Warren Street. The western boundary is part of Lee Street between Warren and Dudley Streets, and the northern border skirts the southern edge of Reservoir Park and then runs along Massachusetts Route 9. Notable residential properties include the Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site. The district abuts the Green Hill Historic District to the south and east.</p><br>
<p>Brookline Village is one of the major commercial and retail centers of the town of Brookline, Massachusetts. Located just north of Massachusetts Route 9 and west of the Muddy River, it is the historic center of the town and includes its major civic buildings, including town hall and the public library. The commercial spine of the village, extending along Washington Street from Route 9 to the library, is a historic district listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Brookline Village Commercial District.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Brookline Village was the first significant site, known as Muddy River, of colonial settlement in what is now Brookline, due to the crossing of the Muddy River, which provided overland access between Boston and Cambridge (then little more than a village at what is now Harvard Square). The village grew from this beginning to become Brooklines first major economic center. In the 19th century commercial activity was concentrated on Boylston, Washington, and Harvard Streets, and grew with the construction of what is now Brookline Avenue, and the arrival of the rail line that now serves the MBTA. The railroads arrival spurred one of the earliest "streetcar suburb" residential subdivisions in the Linden Street area by Thomas Aspinwall Davis.</p><br>
<p>Brookline Village was once known as Punch Bowl Village, named after the Punch Bowl Tavern, and for a time was part of Roxbury, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<h2>Culture</h2><br>
<p>The neighborhood includes a variety of commercial businesses and eateries.</p><br>
<h2>Public transportation</h2><br>
<p>Brookline Village is served by the MBTAs Green Line D-train at the Brookline Village station, with service to downtown Boston. The area is also served by the MBTAs bus service.</p><br>
<p>The Building at 30–34 Station Street in Brookline, Massachusetts, is a historic mixed-use residential/commercial building. It was designed by architects Winslow & Wetherell with elements of Colonial Revival and Georgian Revival style, and was completed in 1893. It is one of the first examples in Brookline of a mixed-use building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Station Street is a short commercial street in Brookline Village, paralleling the tracks of the MBTA Green Line "D" Branch between Washington and Kent Streets. 30-34 Station Street is on north side, roughly midway on the block and opposite the Brookline Village station. It is a four-story building, built out of brick and covered by a flat roof. The ground floor houses four storefronts articulated by cast iron columns, and the upper floors have eight bays, four of which consist of projecting polygonal bays. It has a deep bracketed cornice, and a band of dentil brickwork between the first and second floors. The building, then as now, housed stores on the first floor and residences above.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed by Winslow & Wetherill, a Boston architectural firm, and completed in 1893 for Arthur Cobb, a Boston merchant and real estate developer. Cobb&#39;s other Brookline properties included a stone rowhouse on Walnut Street and a second commercial block with six storefronts on Station Street.</p><br>
<p>The Lewis Cabot Estate was a historic estate at Warren and Heath Streets in Brookline, Massachusetts. The estate, developed in 1894, was one of few surviving turn-of-the-century properties of the Boston Brahmin Cabot family, and a prominent local example of Jacobethan architecture with landscaping by Frederic Law Olmsted. The remnant portion of the estate was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985; the main house has since been demolished.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Lewis Cabot Estate was located in the suburban residential area of southern Brookline, at the southwest corner of Heath and Warren Streets, and originally consisted of more than 30 acre of land. The estate included a large 39-room mansion house, a carriage house, and a separate servants quarters. The house had elaborate Jacobethan style, including Flemish curved gables with bargeboard, half-timbered stucco sections, and a wrought iron porte-cochere.</p><br>
<p>The main house was built in 1895 by Lewis Cabot, son of Samuel and Eliza (Perkins) Cabot, on land he had bought in 1881. The house was designed by Cabot in collaboration with R. Clipston Sturgis. The estate was landscaped by the Olmsted Brothers firm, whose offices were nearby. Henry G. Lapham, who acquired the estate in 1914 after Cabot&#39;s death, subdivided the grounds, but retained the main house and 12 acre. His daughter sold the house in 1942 to the Discalced Carmelite Fathers. The property was listed on the National Reigster in 1985; the buildings have since been demolished.</p><br>
<p>The Candler Cottage is a historic house at 447 Washington Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. Built about 1850, it is one of the town&#39;s few examples of Gothic Revival architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Candler Cottage is located northwest of Brookline Village, on the east side of Washington Street near its junction with Greenough Street. It is set back from the street on a fenced lot surrounded by large multiunit residential buildings. It is a 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a side gable roof and clapboard siding. It has two gabled projecting sections flanking a central entrance sheltered by a hip-roofed porch. The gables have Gothic bargeboard decoration with drop pendants, and there are finials on the roof. The porch is supported by bracketed posts, with Chippendale-style Chinese screens between some of them. The front porch is probably a later addition, and the back of the house shows evidence of reconstruction after a fire.</p><br>
<p>The cottage was built c. 1850, for Mrs. John Candler, who moved to Brookline with her two sons in 1849 after her husband died. Both sons became merchants operating in Boston; John was also politically active, serving in the state legislature and several terms in the United States Congress. The house is one of a small number of Gothic Revival cottages in Brookline.</p><br>
<p>The Isaac Child House is a historic house at 209 Newton Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. With a documented history dating to the 1790s, it is one of Brookline&#39;s few surviving 18th-century houses. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Isaac Child House is located the suburban residential portion of southern Brookline, at the northwest corner of Newton and Clyde Streets. Its lot of over 3 acre, surrounded on two sides by The Country Club, has been subdivided and includes three other houses. The house is a 3-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof that has clipped corners. A transverse two-story ell projects to the north (rear), with a single-story ell continuing beyond that.</p><br>
<p>It is unclear exactly when this house was built; it contains beams that may have been reused from an early 18th century house that was probably in this site, but there is no documentary record of a house here until the 1790s. The land has been in ownership since the mid 17th century, when it belonged to Griffin Bowen. It is surmised that Isaac Child, his grandson, may have built the oldest portion of this house as early as 1714. Its upper floors include heavy timber framing, wide wooden floorboards, and batten doors with strap hinges, all characteristic of First Period construction. The house was extensively altered in the 1870s, literally raising up the old structure and building a new first floor underneath. It has seen only relatively modest alterations since then.</p><br>
<p>The Timothy Corey House No. 1 is a historic house at 808 Washington Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. Built in 1806, it is a good example of vernacular Federal architecture, and was home for over a century to members of one of the town&#39;s most prominent early families. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Timothy Corey House No. 1 is located in Brookline&#39;s Corey Hill neighborhood, on the south side of Washington Street just west of its junction with Downing Street. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure with a side gable roof and clapboarded exterior, set back from the road on a rise with a low stone retaining wall at the sidewalk. It is five bays wide and two deep. A single story open porch extends across the front, which was probably added c. 1920, with a covered portico above the center entrance.</p><br>
<p>This house was built c. 1806 for Deacon Timothy Corey, cofounder of the first Baptist Church in Brookline. The Corey family were prominent landowners in the area, for whom Corey Hill is named. The family had owned land in this area since the 1760s, and ran a successful farm and orchard. The house passed out of the family in 1919, when Timothy Coreys spinster daughter Abie willed it to a local church. It is one of the towns few reminders of a once agrarian past.</p><br>
<p>The Timothy Corey House No. 2 is a historic house at 786–788 Washington Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. Built in 1843, it is one of Brooklines few stone houses. It is a vernacular Greek Revival in style, and was home to members of one of the towns most prominent early families. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 17, 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Timothy Corey House No. 2 stands in Brookline&#39;s residential Corey Hill neighborhood, on the south side of Washington Street at its southeast corner with Downing Street. It is a 2-1/2 story structure, built out of fieldstone and covered by a gabled roof. The gable ends, also finished in stone, are fully pedimented, and the roof is pierced by two interior chimneys. It has a five-bay front facade, with a center entrance sheltered by a 20th-century portico.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1843 for Deacon Timothy Corey; his first house stands nearby at 808 Washington Street. The house is locally distinctive for its construction material, since stone has historically been rarely used in house construction in the area. Stylistically it is a vernacular interpretation of the Greek Revival. The house was built on land that was in the Corey familys hands since the 1760s, and was supposedly built on the site of the house built by Timothy Coreys father.</p><br>
<p>The Cottage Farm Historic District encompasses a residential area in eastern Brookline, Massachusetts, known for its association with industrialist Amos Adams Lawrence . Laid out in the 1850s and centered around the junction of Essex and Ivy Streets, it features high-quality housing on large lots, built between the 1850s and 1910s. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The area that is now Cottage Farms was in the 17th century part of a large meadowland owned by jurist Samuel Sewall, bounded on the north by the Charles River and the south by the Muddy River, west of the latter&#39;s mouth. In the early 19th century, this property was acquired by David Sears, who built a house in the Cottage Farm area in 1844 for his son Frederick. Amos Lawrence acquired the Cottage Farm tract from Sears in 1850, built a house for his family in 1851, and began subdividing and building out the property. Three of the early houses, including that of Lawrence, are notable English Gothic Revival stone buildings, including one designed by architect George Minot Dexter as his own home. Later houses were built in popular architectural styles.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is bounded on the north by Dummer and Mountfort Streets, on the west by Amory Street, on the south by Beacon Street, and on the east by St. Marys Street. The district excludes properties on the latter two roads. The southwest portion of this area is mainly openspace, with a playground and conservation area surrounding Halls Pond. There are 75 historically significant buildings on 67 acre. Most of them are residential, with a shared setting and scale. Some are institutional buildings, including those of the New England Hebrew Academy, but even these are not out of scale with the residences.</p><br>
<p>The Cypress–Emerson Historic District encompasses a residential area on the west side of Brookline Village in Brookline, Massachusetts. Centered on Waverly and Cypress Streets, and including Emerson Park, this area was developed in the post-Civil War era, its growth matching that of the commercial areas of the village. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Brookline Village, originally known as "Muddy River" in colonial days, developed in the mid-19th century into the town&#39;s main commercial center. The area on the east side of Harvard Street commercial district was developed beginning in the 1840s by Thomas Aspinwall Davis, but the area to the west remained mainly farmland until after the Civil War. Cypress Street, an early road dating to the early 18th century, was widened in 1856, and the stretch between Davis Avenue and Washington Street was lined with houses in the 1880s, seven built by a single developer and reflecting similar Queen Anne and Second Empire styling. Waverly Street and Emerston Street were also developed in the 1870s and 1880s, on land belonging to Moses Jones and Elijah Emerson. Houses belonging to the Emerson family house original stood on the land that is now Emerson Park; they were moved to 72 Davis Avenue and 74 White Place after his heirs sold the town the land for the park.</p><br>
<p>The historic district consists of a section of Cypress Street roughly between Davis Avenue and Waverly Street, and a section of Waverly Street between Cypress and Davis, including Emerson Street and the Emerson Gardens park. Notable residences in the district include 109-111 Davis Avenue, which was the home of Charles Rutan, one of the principals of Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge; Rutan designed this house as well as two others on nearby Elm Street. The oldest house in the district, which predates its subdivision, is the 1827 Greek Revival house at 78-80 Waverly Street.</p><br>
<p>The Robert S. Davis House is a historic house at 50 Stanton Road in Brookline, Massachusetts. Built about 1859 for the scion of a locally prominent family, it is one of the town&#39;s best-preserved examples of Italianate architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Robert S. Davis House is located in a residential area between Brookline Village and the town high school, at the southeast corner of Stanton and Greenough Streets. It is a 2-1/2 story wood-frame house, three bays wide, with a side-gable roof, twin interior chimneys, and a cupola. It has well-preserved Italianate styling, including corner quoins, deep eaves with dentil moulding and paired brackets, heavily capped windows on the first floor, and a central gable on the main facade.</p><br>
<p>The land on which this house was built belonged to Robert Sharp Davis, Sr. a descendant of Ebenezer Davis, who owned land in Brookline since the mid-18th century. It was built for Davis son, also named Robert Sharp Davis, and is one of four similar Italianate houses in the immediate area. It is particularly rare as a well-preserved example of the classic Italianate box-like house with a central gable; most of the towns other Italianate houses outside this grouping are L-shaped in layout. The elder Davis&#39; brother was Thomas Aspinwall Davis, who owned land on the other side of Brookline Village, and served as Mayor of Boston.</p><br>
