<p>The Edward Devotion House is a historic house at 347 Harvard Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. Built about 1745, it is one of the town&#39;s few surviving 18th-century structures, and is of those the best preserved. The house is owned by the town and administered by the Brookline Historical Society as a historic house museum. The home also serves as the headquarters of the Brookline Historical Society. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Edward Devotion House is located on the north side of Harvard Street, a major north-south roadway dating back to early colonial days. It is set west of Coolidge Corner, one of Brookline&#39;s major commercial centers, and is nearly surrounded by the Edward Devotion School, a public elementary school. The house is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, three bays wide, with a gambrel roof that is extended at the rear by a leanto section, which extends beyond the left facade in a "Beverly jog". It has a brick central chimney, and entrances in the left bay of the main facade and in the jog. The main facade entrance is flanked by pilasters and topped by an entablature and triangular pediment.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1745 by Solomon Hill on land he had purchased from Edward Devotion, Jr., that had been in his family since at least 1645.</p><br>
<p>The house has been maintained by the Brookline Historical Society since the Society&#39;s founding in 1901, and now displays objects of Brookline history and the Devotion family.</p><br>
<p>The Alfred Douglass House was a historic house at 76 Fernwood Road in Brookline, Massachusetts, United States. It was built in 1910 as servant quarters for the Fernwood estate of Alfred Douglass. It was a prominent surviving example of Jacobethan architecture in Brookline, and an unusual surviving outbuilding from one of the town&#39;s early 20th century country estates. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. It has since been demolished and replaced by new construction.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Alfred Douglass House stood in southern Brookline&#39;s Buttonwood Village area, in the northwest corner of the former Fernwood estate. The estate has been subdivided, and this house would have been accessed via the main drive through the former estate (now Fernwood Road), and was set near the northwest corner of the property. It was a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a stuccoed and half-timbered exterior. Its front facade was characterized by three large gables, decorated with Gothic bargeboard, finials and drops, and had a main entrance under a gabled hood with large brackets.</p><br>
<p>The house was designed by Charles Patch, and built in 1910 for Alfred Douglass, a retired New York merchant. Douglass had purchased the country estate from Caroline and William Gardiner; she was the daughter of Thomas Handasyd Perkins, whose estate was next door. This house served as the servant quarters for his Fernwood estate house. It was enlarged in 1930 by Sidney W. Winslow Jr and converted from a duplex to a single family residence. His son lived there for several years.</p><br>
<p>The Dutch House is a historic multi-unit residential building at 20 Netherlands Road in Brookline, Massachusetts. This four-story brick building was originally built as an exhibition hall at the 1893 Worlds Fair in Chicago, where it served as the Dutch Cocoa House. It is a close copy of the Franeker City Hall in Franeker, Netherlands. The door frame, embellished with stone animals, is a replica of the Enkhuizen Orphanage. The buildings interior is highly ornate, with massive ceiling beams and Flemish wooden panels. The original dining room included classic blue and white Delftware tiles, some more than 300 years old. The exterior has a high mansard roof that extends over two floors, and has stepped gables. The windows include more than 12,000 individual lights of leaded green glass.</p><br>
<p>The building was erected at the World&#39;s Fair by the Van Houten Cocoa Company, and was one of the few privately built fair buildings to win a medal. After the fair ended, the building was purchased by Brookline resident Charles Brooks Appleton, who had seen it there. The building was dismantled brick by brick and reconstructed at its present location, although some of its brickwork was covered by cement in imitation of stonework. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. Netherlands Road was named in honor of the house. Because it was built by the Netherlands and is a copy of a Dutch building, it is considered one of the finest examples of Dutch High Renaisssance styling in the nation.</p><br>
<p>The General Simon Elliot House is a historic house at 61 Heath Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. Built in 1824, it is one of the town&#39;s oldest examples of Greek Revival architecture, owned by several prominent residents. 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 General Simon Elliott House is located on a residential street in Brookline&#39;s Woodland-Heath area, at the western corner of Heath Street and Reservoir Road. A low stone wall runs along the street-facing edges of the property. The core of the house is a 1-1/2 story wood frame Greek Revival cottage, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. Although the modern main entrance is on the left side as seen from the street, the original main entrance was on the street-facing south facade, sheltered by a single-story Greek Revival porch. The current main entrance is at the center of the left facade, sheltered by a rectangular Colonial Revival portico. Stylistic alterations to the exterior include Gothic-arched details, steeply pitched gabled dormers, and Colonial Revival window framing.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1824 by General Simon Elliot, a Scottish immigrant who served in the American Revolutionary War. Elliot was a prominent local merchant as well as a mill and factory owner, whose daughter married Thomas Handasyd Perkins, and whose granddaughter married into Boston&#39;s prominent Cabot family. It is the oldest Greek Revival house in Brookline.</p><br>
<p>Fernwood is a historic estate house at 155 Clyde Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. Built in 1909, it is a distinctive example of Jacobethan architecture, and one of a few surviving country estate houses of the early 20th century in the town. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Fernwood main house is located in southern Brookline&#39;s Buttonwood Village area, in the northeastern part of the former Fernwood estate. The estate has been subdivided, and this house is accessed via the main drive through the former estate (now Fernwood Road). It is a 2-1/2 story masonry structure, with brick walls and limestone trim. It has bands of sash windows with rectangular lights, parapeted gables that are steeply pitched, and round-arch doorways. The interior of the house is framed with steel beams, and contains no wood finishes.</p><br>
<p>The land of the Fernwood estate was owned in the late 19th century by Thomas Handasyd Perkins, whose own estate was next door. This land he gave to his daughter Caroline and son-in-law William Gardiner. It was purchased in the early 20th century by Alfred Douglass, a retired New York merchant, who tore down the existing house and had Fernwood built. The estate house was designed by Charles Patch, and the landscaping was done to a plan by the Olmsted Brothers. The houses Jacobethan or Tudor Revival style was quite popular at the time. Douglass only briefly lived on the estate, forced to sell in the 1910s by financial reverses. The Fernwood estate was subdivided later in the 20th century, including splitting off the servants quarters.</p><br>
<p>Fire Station No. 7, also known as the Washington Square Station, is a historic fire station at 665 Washington Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. Built in 1898, it is an architecturally eclectic mix of Dutch and Renaissance Revival styles. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. It presently houses Engine 3 and a paramedic ambulance.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Fire Station No. 7 is located near the commercial village center of Washington Square, on the north side of Washington Street roughly midway between Beacon and Fairbanks Streets. It is a 2-1/2 story masonry structure, built out of brick with stone trim. Its distinctive facade features include a Dutch Revival stepped gable, window and doorway arches with alternating stone and brick voussoirs, and a square Italianate hose drying tower. It has three equipment bays, two of which retain their original arched tops, while that on the left has been squared to admit larger modern equipment.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed by Boston architect and Brookline native G. Fred Crosby, and went into service in 1898. It was described at the time as being state of the art, and is the only one of the town&#39;s fire houses that has Dutch Revival features. Its original wooden doors were replaced in 1947, and the left equipment bay entrance was enlarged in 1951.</p><br>
<p>The Fisher Hill Historic District encompasses a residential area in central Brookline, Massachusetts. The area was subdivided and built out beginning in the 1880s, with landscaping design by Frederick Law Olmsted and John Charles Olmsted. The district is bounded on the west by Chestnut Hill Avenue, Baxter Road, and Channing Road, and on the south by Massachusetts Route 9. Its eastern boundary runs along Buckminster Street to Dean Road, joining the northern boundary of Clinton Road, running between Dean Road and Chestnut Hill Avenue. Prior to its development in the 1880s, Fisher Hill had a relatively small number of landowners. Some of them banded together, hiring the Olmsteds to design a subdivision plan for the entire district. Lots were sold to wealthy individuals, who built fashionable houses, often designed by architects. In 1914 a restrictive covenant was entered into by a significant number of property owners, restricting their properties to strictly single-family residential uses.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Fisher Hill Reservoir and Gatehouse are a historic element of the public water supply for the Greater Boston area. The reservoir was located on Fisher Road between Hyslop and Channing Roads in Brookline, Massachusetts, and is now the site of Fisher Hill Reservoir Park. It was built in 1886-87 as an early component of the Boston Water Board&#39;s expansion of its high service system. The gatehouse may have been designed by Arthur Vinal, who also designed the high pumping station at Chestnut Hill Reservoir. It is a two-story Richardsonian Romanesque structure, with its first floor finished in stone and its second in brick. Brownstone trim is used on the windows and corner quoins, and the voussoirs which form the arches on the first floor. There are pipes to the reservoir and down to Chestnut Hill, and gates for controlling access to local the distribution network. The building was taken out of service in the 1950s.</p><br>
<p>The reservoir and gatehouse were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Peter Fuller Building is a historic commercial building located at 808 Commonwealth Avenue in Brookline, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>This five-story limestone-faced building occupies a prominent position on Commonwealth Avenue near the south end of the BU Bridge. It was designed by the prolific architect Albert Kahn, a noted designer of industrial buildings, and built in 1927 for the Cadillac Auto Company. It is one of the few Boston-area buildings designed by Kahn, who did extensive work designing automobile-related industrial facilities in the American Midwest. This building stood at what was then a gateway position leading to a row of automotive dealerships along Commonwealth Avenue, and was designed to be a local flagship showroom for the luxury Cadillac line.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 17, 1985.</p><br>
<p>The John Goddard House is a historic house at 235 Goddard Avenue in Brookline, Massachusetts, USA. The two story wood frame house was built in 1767 by John Goddard, a farmer. It is one of the few 18th-century houses in Brookline, important for the role it and its owner played in the American Revolutionary War during the Siege of Boston in 1776. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Goddard House is set on the north side of Goddard Avenue, opposite the northern border of Larz Anderson Park in southeastern Brookline. It is a roughly square wood frame house, with a hip roof, central chimney, and a three-bay facade with a projecting gabled vestibule. The interior retains period fixtures, including wall paneling, doors, and hardware.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1767 by John Goddard on land originally purchased by his grandfather Joseph. Goddard, a teamster, was active in local civic affairs, notably serving in the Massachusetts Provincial Congress prior to the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War in 1775. Goddards property was one of several places in Massachusetts used by rebellious colonists for the storage of munitions (probably in the barn, since demolished). During the Siege of Boston, Goddard acted as wagon-master to the Continental Army during the Fortification of Dorchester Heights, a nighttime act that required the wagons to be rendered as quiet as possible to avoid notice. Goddard refused George Washingtons offer of continued service in the military effort.</p><br>
<p>The Green Hill Historic District encompasses historical cross-section of residential housing in Brookline, Massachusetts, dating from the 18th century into the mid-20th century. The district includes properties on Warren, Cottage, and Fairmount Streets, and on Sargent Road, centered on the junction of Warren and Cottage Streets. The oldest houses  date to the mid-18th century, and were originally modest Georgian or Federal structures. During the 19th century the area was populated by the summer estates of some of Bostons leading merchant and business families, including members of the Cabot and Perkins families. During the later 19th and early 20th centuries some of Brooklines largest and most architecturally interesting homes were built in this area.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>Hammond Pond Parkway is a historic parkway in Brookline and Newton, Massachusetts. The road, built in 1932, extends 1.75 mi from Beacon Street in Newton to Horace James Circle in Brookline, where it joins the West Roxbury Parkway. It was designed by Charles Eliot and the Olmsted Brothers to provide a parkway setting that provided access from Brookline, Newton, and the western portions of Boston to the southern parks of the Emerald Necklace. The parkway was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>The roadway is generally four lanes of paved asphalt. From its northern end at Beacon Street in Newton, it passes through a conservation area consisting of the Hammond Pond Reservation and the Webster Conservation Area, crossing the MBTA Green Line "D" Branch, formerly the Highland Branch of the Boston and Albany Railroad, along the way, before reaching a junction with Massachusetts Route 9, roughly its midpoint. It passes under Route 9, and then enters Brookline. The area around Route 9 is built up, with shopping malls on either side of the parkway just north of Route 9, and a mix of civic and residential construction just to its south. Beyond this area in Brookline, the parkway passes through a residential area of larger homes with expansive lawns. It then enters Horace James Circle, a junction with the West Roxbury Parkway, Newton Street, LaGrange Street, and Hammond Street.</p><br>
<p>Land acquisition for the parkway began in 1914 based on designs that were drafted in 1913. Additional land was acquired in 1920, and again in 1930-31. The northern section, between Beacon Street and Route 9, was built in 1931, and the southern section was completed in 1932. Construction was by the M. McDonough Company, and cost over $216,000. Only minor changes have been made to the parkway since its construction. The parkway construction included two significant bridges: the Route 9 overpass, and the bridge which passes over the railroad tracks.</p><br>
<p>The Hotel Adelaide is a historic apartment house at 13–21 High Street in the Pill Hill neighborhood of Brookline, Massachusetts, United States. Built in 1875, it is one of the earliest known examples of a duplex-style apartment house, in which the individual units occupy space on two floors, connected by a private staircase. The building and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Hotel Adelaide is set at the southwest corner of High and Walnut Streets, at the base of Pill Hill, a neighborhood of fashionable Queen Anne houses. It is a long three story brick structure, with sandstone trim. Notable exterior features include beltcourses of stone between the floors, and narrower stringcourses of stone at the base of the windows, with decorative stone hoods over the windows. A portion of the building at the southern end has a curved bay section and separate entrance, and is topped by a mansard roof; the function of this part of the hotel is unknown, but was an original feature.</p><br>
<p>The building was built in 1875 by Eben Wright, a real estate investor from Nahant, who owned this property and the nearby Hotel Kempsford. The building was designed by Brookline architect Obed Smith, who described as innovative the internal layout of the units, with two floors separated by a private staircase, in an 1884 publication. The style would later be emulated in other Brookline apartment houses including the Building at 30-34 Station Street.</p><br>
<p>The Thaddeus Jackson House is a historic house at 15 Alberta Road in Brookline, Massachusetts. Built in 1820, it is one of Brookline&#39;s older surviving houses, unusual because it was built in the Georgian style, then already out of fashion. 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 Jackson House is set on the north side of Alberta Road, in an area now completely surrounded by residential development in southern Brookline. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with clapboard siding and a side-gable roof. A leanto section (probably original) extends to the rear, giving the house a colonial New England saltbox profile. Other features more typical of 18th century construction that were repeated here include placement of the window tops near the eaves, and the simple center doorway surround.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1820, and is one of Brookline&#39;s older surviving homes. Its styling is essentially late Georgian, unusual given its construction late in the Federal period. Thaddeus Jackson, the builder, was the son of Abraham Jackson, a local blacksmith.</p><br>
<p>Thaddeus Jackson was also a successful blacksmith. He married Lydia Woodward, daughter of Caleb Woodward and Hannah Chever, on 14 October 1773 in Brooklines First Parish Church. They had nine children together, including Lydia Jackson Farwell, the founding mother of Ischua, New York. Jackson also served as a private in Capt. Thomas Whites (Brookline) company of militia, Col. William Heath&#39;s regiment, in the Battles of Lexington and Concord that began the American Revolutionary War.</p><br>
<p>Linden Park is a small municipal park at Linden Place and Linden Street in Brookline, Massachusetts, USA. The triangular park was created in 1843 as one of several parks in the Lindens subdivision of the area by Thomas Aspinwall Davis, which was the first residential subdivision created in Brookline. In addition to generous setbacks, the deeds for the lots of this subdivision contained covenants excluding the sale to "Negroes or natives of Ireland".</p><br>
<p>The park and neighborhood were designed by Alexander Wadsworth, and the park was originally held in common by the surrounding property owners. The park is now partially surrounded by wrought iron fencing, and has grassy areas and a playground.</p><br>
<p>The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Pill Hill Historic District is a historic district roughly bounded by Boylston Street, Pond Ave., and Acron, Oakland and Highland Roads in Brookline, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The district, which is mainly residential, was developed in the mid-19th century for an upper-middle class professional population. Commuter railroads connecting Brookline to Boston opened in 1848, making the town attractive for working professionals who wished to live in a more open suburban area. Several major Boston architects designed homes in the district, including Robert Swain Peabody, Walter H. Kilham, Ware & Van Brunt, and William Ralph Emerson. By the 1880s, a significant number of doctors had settled in the district, giving it its current name. Dr. Walter Channing, one of the doctors living in the district, established one of Bostons earliest womens hospitals; his efforts inspired Brookline&#39;s Free Hospital for Women, which moved to Pill Hill in 1895.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<p>Reservoir Park is a historic park on Boylston Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. Its principal feature is Brookline Reservoir, formerly an element of the public water supply for neighboring Boston. The reservoir was built in 1848 as the main terminus of the now-defunct Cochituate Aqueduct, which delivered water from Lake Cochituate in the western suburbs. The reservoir covers 21.1 acre, and is roughly kidney-shaped. A gravel path extends around the perimeter of the reservoir. The park is bounded on the north by Boylston Street , on the west by Lee Street, on the south by Dudley Street, and on the east by Warren and Walnut Streets.</p><br>
<p>There are two structures in the park. At the western end of the reservoir stands the Influent Gatehouse, the endpoint of the Cochituate Aqueduct. This is a modest utilitarian structure built out of dressed granite, about 11 ft by 12 ft and 11 feet in height. Its interior houses equipment for managing the flow of water from the aqueduct into the reservoir. The Principal Gatehouse, in contrast, is a more elaborate structure. It is located at the northeastern end of the reservoir, and is a two-story building partially buried in the embankment. It is built, like the Influent Gatehouse, of dressed granite, but was designed to be a public space. Its main facade has Renaissance Revival elements within a Greek-style temple front. The corners of the building have quoins in a paler shade of stone, and there is a course of that same stone in between the two floors. It has a gabled roof with a fully pedimented gable end, decorated with dentil stonework. The facade is three bays wide, with a centered entry on the lower level. The entry is recessed behind an arch that is flanked by round columns supporting an entablature. The entry is flanked by small elongated round-arch windows. The upper level consists of three larger equal-sized round-arch windows. The upper level of the building also has a facade facing the water; this also has three round-arch windows.</p><br>
<p>Because the Principal Gatehouse was intended as a public space, its interior was also finished, unlike that of the Influent Gatehouse. The walls were plastered, and there were stairs, constructed of wrought iron, which were used to reach a platform giving a view of the water. These staircases are believed to the oldest surviving example of wrought iron stairs intended for public use in the United States. (They are predated by surviving stairs in lighthouses and a prison, and by public stairs in other countries.) The building&#39;s roof is also believed to be the only surviving period roof supported by wrought iron trusses.</p><br>
<p>The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. The architectural significance of the gatehouse and its status as the best-preserved element of the Cochituate Aqueduct were recognized in its designation as a National Historic Landmark in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The Ritchie Building is a historic industrial building at 112 Cypress Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. Built in 1883 by Edward Samuel Ritchie, it is a fine example of the Panel Brick style, and is further notable as the factory space in which Ritchie manufactured a nationally-distributed line of navigational instruments. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Ritchie Building is located on the east side of Cypress Street, north of Massachusetts Route 9 and south of the MBTA Green Line "D" Branch, just east of the Brookline Hills station. It is a four story rectangular brick structure, with a hip roof. The first floor is below the street level, which was raised in order to bridge the railroad tracks, and the main entrance is now on the second level. The second level is finished in stone, resembling a raised basement level, while the upper floors retain their original modest Panel Brick features, including segmented-arch window openings and a corbelled cornice.</p><br>
<p>Edward Samuel Ritchie founded his navigational instruments company in the 1850s, and had, by the 1880s, established a main office in Boston and a manufacturing facility near Harvard Square in Cambridge. He built the present facility in 1883, not far from his home on Lincoln Street, when he was unable to expand the Cambridge space. It was one of the first industrial buildings to be built in Brookline. The business, whose customers notably included the United States Navy, was operated by Ritchie and his successors at this site until the 1950s. The building has since been rehabilitated for use as office space.</p><br>
<p>Saint Mary of the Assumption Church, Rectory, School and Convent is a historic church complex at 67 Harvard Street, and 3 and 5 Linden Place, in Brookline, Massachusetts. It was the first Roman Catholic church in Brookline, and the first in the nation to bear the name. Most of its buildings were built between 1880 and 1906, and are reflective of the growth of the area&#39;s Irish immigrant community during that time. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The Saint Mary of the Assumption complex occupies a parcel of land on the northern fringe of Brookline Village, bounded by Harvard Street, Linden Place, Hurd Road, and Homer Street. The church stands at the northeast corner of Harvard and Linden, with the other buildings arrayed to its north and east. The church is a red brick Gothic Revival structure with brownstone trim, featuring a tower that is 146 ft in height. It has a basically cruciform plan, with a rounded apse and the tower set at the southwest corner of the crossing point. The main entrance is at its southern end, and has two arched doorways and a niche above for a statue of the Virgin Mary. The interior walls are lined with Kilkenny marble and onyx, and the altar of Caen stone with marble trim.</p><br>
<p>The rectory is a 3-1/2 story Panel Brick structure with a steeply-pitched slate roof. The school is an H-shaped 2-1/2 story structure, built like the church in a Gothic Revival style. Its entrance is in the center portion of the H, under a Tudor arch.</p><br>
<p>The buildings of the complex, except for the convent, were built between 1880 and 1906; the convent is a c. 1843 Greek Revival house moved from the Linden Place area in 1899, and then enlarged and finished in brick. The parish, established in 1852, was the first in Brookline. Its buildings were designed by Peabody and Stearns</p><br>
<p>Saint Paul&#39;s Church, Chapel, and Parish House are a historic Episcopal Church complex at 15 and 27 Saint Paul Street and 104 Aspinwall Avenue in Brookline, Massachusetts. The Gothic Revival church building was designed by Richard Upjohn and built in 1851-52, and is the oldest surviving religious building in the town. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Saint Pauls Church complex stands at the junction of Saint Paul Street and Aspinwall Avenue in eastern Brookline, roughly halfway between the commercial centers of Coolidge Corner and Brookline Village. The church is a basically rectangular structure, oriented with its long access east-west, with a tower projecting from the northwest corner. Its main entrance is on the long southern facade, near the western end, set in a Gothic-arched opening in a projecting section with a steep gabled roof. The buildings walls are puddingstone, and the main roof, also gabled, is made of polychrome slate. The building exhibits classic elements of the Gothic Revival, including lancet-arched windows, tripartite windows with tracery, and elaborate stonework in the tower.</p><br>
<p>The Episcopalian congregation for which it was built was established in 1849 by William and Augustus Aspinwall (the latter donating the land on which the church was built). Richard Upjohn was retained in 1850 to design the building, which was completed two years later. The chapel, also an Upjohn design, was built in 1858 and enlarged in 1880 to a design by Peabody and Stearns. The parish house was designed by Julius Schweinfurth and built in 1895. The church was gutted by fire in 1976 and was rebuilt in 1979-80. The church is the oldest religious building in Brookline.</p><br>
<p>Sargents Pond is a man-made 3 acre pond on Sargent Road in Brookline, Massachusetts. The pond was created by Charles Sprague Sargent  in the late 1870s as a centerpiece of his familys extensive Holm Lea estate. Sargents estate has since been subdivided, but the roads giving access to it run along the estates original alignments, and are private roads. Sargent landscaped the estate using similar principles to those he applied at the Arboretum, with vistas and a variety of trees and shrubs. The pond was created by damming a brook. It still has naturalistic plantings around it, although some Sargent&#39;s rhododendrons  have died.</p><br>
<p>The pond (along with its immediately surrounding grounds) was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Second Unitarian Church is a historic church and synagogue building at 11 Charles Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. Built in 1916 for a Unitarian congregation, it was acquired by the innovative Reform Jewish Temple Sinai congregation in 1944. It is a high quality example of Colonial Revival/Georgian Revival architecture, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Temple Sinai building is located on the north side of Charles Street, a side street just south of Beacon Street on the west side of Coolidge Corner. The building&#39;s lot originally fronted on Beacon Street, but has been subdivided. The building is a two story brick structure, with a front-facing gable roof, Greek temple portico, and tower with octagonal cupola. The building corners have brick quoining, and it has round-arch windows capped by limestone keystones.</p><br>
<p>The building was erected in 1916 by the Second Unitarian Church, a congregation established in 1896 that had been meeting at a shared chapel in the Longwood area. The building was designed by Boston architect Edwin J. Lewis, and is based on the Christ Church in Alexandria, Virginia. In 1944 the building was purchased by Temple Sinai, a Reform Jewish congregation established in 1939. That congregation was the first new Reform congregation to be founded in the Greater Boston area in 84 years, and is credited with introducing a number of changes to the worship and governance practices of Reform congregations, including equal seating for all congregants, and the right of women to vote in its organization.</p><br>
<p>The Strathmore Road Historic District is a residential historic district on Strathmore Road and Clinton Path in Brookline, Massachusetts. It consists of six brick apartment blocks, four of which lie on Strathmore Road, and two of which lie on Clinton Path. The two streets form a loop just south of the westernmost portion  of Beacon Street, and abutting the MBTA Green Line yard at Cleveland Circle. The district is reflective of the area&#39;s growth as a commuter suburb following the development of the rail line along Beacon Street , and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>Beacon Street and the rail line were extended to Cleveland Circle in the 1880s, and the area was soon developed to provide housing for commuters into Boston. Charles Newhall and George Johnston were two major developers whose projects line Beacon Street, and who were responsible for the development of Strathmore Road as well. This development took place between 1904 and 1908. The buildings are 3-1/2 story brick buildings, most designed by either James Hutchinson or Murdock Boyle. Five of the six buildings were built by Johnston; only 1 Clinton Path was built by Newhall. They are built with consistent setbacks, large enough to provide each building with a small front yard, and with sufficient space to allow for the planting of trees.</p><br>
<p>The basic styling of most of the buildings is either Federal or Classical Revival. Typical features include limestone wedges above the windows, and cornices with dentil molding and modillions. Two of the buildings (40 Strathmore and 1 Clinton) are Romanesque in style, using rusticated brownstone and with round-arched entries.</p><br>
<p>Walnut Hills Cemetery is a historic cemetery on Grove Street and Allandale Road in Brookline, Massachusetts. It encompasses 45.26 acre, with mature trees and puddingstone outcrops, and was laid out in 1875 in the then-fashionable rural cemetery style. Many past prominent citizens of the town, including noted architect H.H. Richardson, are buried here. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Walnut Hills Cemetery is located in southern Brookline, south of the junction of Grove Street and Allandale Road. Its main entrance is at that junction, with a secondary entrance a short way to the west on Grove Street. It is flanked on the south and west sides by residential areas. Covering about 45 acre, the cemetery is characterized by rolling hills, with occasional steep slopes, and mature plantings. Paved and unpaved roads and paths wind through the cemetery, following the contours of the terrain.</p><br>
<p>The cemeterys built features include its receiving tomb, built in 1901 to a design by Alexander Wadsworth Longfellow, Jr. The cluster of utility buildings, including a stable and shed, were designed by Guy Lowell (who is interred here) and built in 1901; Lowell is also the likely designer of the superintendents cottage that stands near the secondary entrance.</p><br>
<p>In 1874 the town of Brookline authorized the purchase of 30 acre for a new cemetery, as its Old Burying Ground was filling up. The town retained two landscape gardners, Ernest Bowditch and Franklin Copeland, to oversee its layout. Most of the design for its network of lanes and paths is credited to Bowditch. The cemetery was enlarged by 1 acre in 1918 and 14 acre in 1926 to reach its present size. The first parts of the cemetery to be filled have mostly granite headstones, often with symbolic figures. In 1886, the cemetery laid down strict new rules, requiring use of slate and enforcing dimensional restrictions. These rules were later relaxed to allow for the use of dark Quincy granite, and then other forms of granite.</p><br>
<p>Several individuals of local and national importance are buried here. H.H. Richardson, an architect of national stature and a Brookline resident, is buried here, as is Guy Lowell. Charles Sprague Sargent, another Brookline resident buried here, was the founder and first leader of Boston&#39;s Arnold Arboretum. John Charles Olmsted, the son of noted landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted and a noted landscape architect in his own right, is buried here.</p><br>
<p>West Roxbury Parkway is a historic parkway running from Washington Street in Boston, Massachusetts, where the Enneking Parkway runs south, to Horace James Circle in Brookline, where it meets the Hammond Pond Parkway. The parkway serves as a connector between Stony Brook Reservation and Hammond Pond Reservation . West Roxbury Parkway was built between 1919 and 1929 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. The parkway is distinctive in the roadway system developed by the Metropolitan District Commission beginning around the turn of the 20th century in that it was built in collaboration with the City of Boston, and is maintained by the city.</p><br>
<p>At the northern end of the Stony Brook Reservation, the parkway runs through Bellevue Hill Park. The boundary roads of Bellevue Hill Park (Bellevue Hill Road, East Border Road, and West Border Road), which flank the parkway, are also listed as contributing properties to the West Roxbury Parkway.</p><br>
<p>The West Roxbury Parkway also intersects with the Veterans of Foreign Wars Parkway.</p><br>
<h2>Construction history</h2><br>
<p>Although land was taken for the construction of the parkway as early as 1894, construction did not begin on its southernmost section until 1919, when the section from Washington Street to Belgrade Avenue was built. It was extended to Centre Street in 1920, providing access via that road to the Arnold Arboretum, one of the city&#39;s objectives in the development of the parkway. The segment to Weld Street was completed in 1924, and the last section, to its terminus at Newton Street in Brookline, was completed in 1929. In 1924 construction of Bellevue Hill Road (originally called West Border Road) was completed.</p><br>
<p>During the 1930s four rotaries were built on the parkway in order to improve traffic flow with the major cross streets: Centre Street, the VFW Parkway, Grove Street, and Newton Street in Brookline. The last of these is considered a part of the Hammond Pond Parkway, and does not contribute to this parkway&#39;s historic designation.</p><br>
<p>Engine Company No. 2, is a firehouse located at 1313 Washington Street in Hoboken, Hudson County, New Jersey, United States. The firehouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 30, 1984.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Hoboken Land and Improvement Company donated a piece of land on July 18, 1889, for the construction a firehouse. The firehouse was designed by French, Dixon & DeSaldern in the Romanesque Revival style and was built in 1890. The firehouse was restored outside and modernized inside after a severe fire occurred in the 1980s. The firehouse currently houses Engine Company 5 and Ladder Company 1 of the Hoboken Fire Department. The firehouse was also featured in the 2008 video game, Grand Theft Auto IV.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The firehouse is a three story example of Romanesque Revival style, with Richardsonian Romanesque influences. The main building material is tan stretcher bond brick. Bands of sandstone horizontally</p><br>
<p>span the facade. The engine door has cast-iron pilasters on either side. A tower extends to four stories on the southern side of the building. The mansard roof and tower roof are covered in orange terra cotta-colored pantiles.</p><br>
<p>The Keuffel and Esser Manufacturing Complex is located in Hoboken, Hudson County, New Jersey, United States. The western concrete building with the four-sided clock tower was built in 1906 and opened in 1907, after the previous building was destroyed by a fire in 1905. Keuffel and Esser manufactured instruments for the architectural, engineering and drafting professions at the complex from 1907 to 1968. In 1975 the building was converted to housing. The western half of the complex became known as Clock Towers, while the eastern half of the complex  was converted into residential apartments in 1984 and became what is now called the Grand Adams Apartments. The complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 12, 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Buildings at 1200–1206 Washington Street, also known as the El Dorado Apartments and the Yellow Flats, are a historic district located in Hoboken, Hudson County, New Jersey, United States. The buildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 9, 1987.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the 1890s, They are located between 12th Street and 13th Street on the eastern side of Washington Street, a commercial district with many retail stores and restaurants. The five-story complex is roughly 2 blocks south of Weehawken Cove, the former site of the Hudson Tea Building, and 2 blocks west of the Hudson River. The entire complex is the full length of Washington Street between 12th and 13th Streets, with several rows of apartments wrapping around the corners of both streets, and in total the Yellow Flats contain 174 living units. The addresses listed under the National Register of Historic Places are specifically 1200, 1202, 1204 and 1206.</p><br>
<h2>Famous residents</h2><br>
<p>Although she was considered to be one of the wealthiest women of her day, Hetty Green, the "Witch of Wall Street" To avoid establishing a residency permanent enough to attract the attention of tax officials in any state, Hetty took up several residences in Hoboken and Brooklyn Heights, which has resulted in a discrepancy between whether or not she lived in the apartments listed under the National Register of Historic Places. At the Yellow Flats, she listed her buzzer as C. Dewey, the name of her pet Skye terrier. It was also reported that she lived as a guest of the Yellow Flats buildings&#39; janitor, Jacob Van Twisk.</p><br>
<p>At the end of his career in 1905, Blind Tom Wiggins, one of the most famous musical performers of his day who played at the White House for President James Buchanan and was highly regarded by Mark Twain, moved into an apartment in the Yellow Flats. Several years later, he died at the home of neighbor Mrs. Eliza Bethune Lerche.</p><br>
<p>The Whisky Creek Cabin is a rustic log cabin located in southwest Oregon along the section of the Rogue River that is designated as a National Wild and Scenic River. It is the oldest remaining mining cabin in the Rogue River canyon. The Bureau of Land Management purchased the cabin and surrounding property in 1973. The Whisky Creek Cabin is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Whisky Creek Cabin was built in about 1880 by an unknown miner. The original structure was very basic, consisting of four walls, a dirt floor, and wooden shake roof. A flume ditch was constructed near the cabin around 1890 to provide water for hydraulic mining on Whisky Creek. The flume begins about one half mile up the stream from the cabin and ends at the gully behind the tool shed. In 1905, the flume was extended to a point about 50 ft above Whisky Creek bar. This flume ditch also provided drinking water for the cabin.</p><br>
<p>The first recorded mining claim on Whisky Creek was filed by P.H Rushmore in 1917. Rushmore sold his claim to Cy Whiteneck a year later. Whiteneck lived at Whisky Creek for the next 30 years. During that time, he improved the original cabin by laying a wooden floor and adding a second room. He also constructed several work sheds near the cabin. Over the years, Whiteneck used hydraulic mining methods to extract gold from the creek, but never got rich.</p><br>
<p>In 1948, Whiteneck sold his claim to L. M. Nichols and his wife. In 1957, Nichols hired Lou Martin to be the property’s caretaker. Martin continued to mine Whisky Creek during the sixteen years he lived there. He also improved the site. Martin built a solar-heated shower adjacent to one of the sheds and added a large walk-in pantry next to the cabin. Martin also constructed a cable car to haul firewood across the creek. To accomplish that, he strung half-inch steel cable 480 ft across the creek, and tightened it with a system of hand-winches and pulleys. Martin remained the on-site caretaker until 1973 when the property was sold to the Bureau of Land Management.</p><br>
<p>In 1973, Bureau of Land Management installed interpretive signs at the site and opened the cabin to the public for self-guided tours. Because of cabin’s unique heritage as the oldest surviving mining cabin in the Rogue River Canyon, the Whisky Creek Cabin was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 5 September 1975. The historic area cover 20 acre and includes the cabin and one additional contributing structure.</p><br>
<h2>Structure</h2><br>
<p>There are two sheds on the site. There is a large tool shed just behind the cabin. A power generator shed is located a short distance north of the cabin. There is a unique solar-heated shower, built by the cabin’s last resident, located between the tool shed and the cabin.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>The Whisky Creek Cabin historic site is located in the Rogue River canyon in southern Oregon. The cabin’s elevation is approximately 640 ft above sea level. It is an isolated site within the Rogue National Wild and Scenic River corridor, surrounded by the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest.</p><br>
<p>The Whisky Creek Cabin can only be reached by floating down the Rogue River or by hiking the Rogue River canyon trail. From the trailhead at Grave Creek, it is a three-mile (5 km) hike to the cabin along the Rogue River National Recreation Trail. The cabin is approximately one quarter mile up Whisky Creek from its mouth on the north side of the Rogue River. Information on the river trail is available at the Smullin Visitor Center at the Rand Ranger Station. There is also a boat ramp a Grave Creek. Rogue River float permits are can be obtained at the Rand visitor center as well.</p><br>
<p>Whisky Creek Cabin is a popular stop for both hikers and boaters. There is a primitive campground located at the mouth of Whisky Creek. There are public restrooms at the campground. Water is available from Whisky Creek; however, some form of water purification is recommended before drinking. Leave no trace procedures apply while camping and cooking along the wild and scenic river corridor. Fire pans are also required within 400 ft of the river.</p><br>
<p>Anchuthengu , formerly known as Anjengo or Anjenga, is a coastal town in the Thiruvananthapuram District of Kerala.</p><br>
<p>The town contains old Portuguese-style churches, a lighthouse, a 100-year-old convent and school, tombs of Dutch and British sailors and soldiers, and the remains of the Anchuthengu Fort. Kaikara village, the birthplace of the famous Malayalam poet Kumaran Asan, is located nearby. Temples in the area are Sree Bala Subrahmanya Swami Kshethram and Parambil Sree Bhadrakali Yogeeshwara Kshethram.</p><br>
<p>Anchuthengu is about 36 km north of Thiruvananthapuram. The nearest airport is Trivandrum International Airport. Kadakkavur Railway Station is 2 km away.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Anjengo is located in an oxbow at the mouth of Parvathy Puthanaar canal. Originally, it was an old Portuguese settlement between Kollam and Thiruvananthapuram, and near Varkala. In 1694, the Queen of Attingal granted the British East India Company the right to establish a factory and a fort at Anjengo, which became the Company&#39;s first trade settlement in Kerala. The Anjengo Fort was erected in 1694-8. It was an occasional port of call for East Indiamen. The fort played an important role in the Anglo-Mysore Wars of the 18th century but, by the 19th century, the fort was considered an unnecessary expense. The EIC abandoned tt, and the factory, in 1813. In the 19th century, the town remained known for its excellent ropes (manufactured from the local palms) and also exported pepper, homespun cotton cloth, and drugs.</p><br>

<p>The Mönchsberg, at 507 m above sea level, is one of the five mountains in the city of Salzburg, Salzburgerland, Austria. It is named after the Benedictine monks of St Peter&#39;s Abbey at the northern foot of the mountain.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The Mönchsberg shapes Salzburg&#39;s historic townscape with its long drawn back consisting of conglomerate (Nagelfluh). The massif is a solidified river crushed stone, deposed as a delta into the interglacial see (Mindel-Riss Interglacial), which was not cleared away thereafter by the glaciers protected from the hard limestone of the adjacent Festungsberg and so remained.</p><br>
<p>Water ingressing into numerous bursts and cleavages can lead to falling stones and demolition of whole rock sections: In the early morning of 16 July 1669 tons of rock fell off the mountain on the Gstättengasse street below, killing about 230 citizens in their sleep by destroying two churches, a seminary and 13 houses. Since then there is the office of a Bergputzer (mountain inspector), filled by mountaineers who regularly and since 1778 annually dispose loose rocks and prove the condition of the mountain surface to examine. Thus a new disaster could be prevented.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Driven into the walls of rock above of the St Peter&#39;s Cemetery, established about 700, are Early Christian hermitages, called Katakomben (catacombs), which however never were funeral places.</p><br>
<p>Already from 1137 to 1143 the Archbishop of Salzburg had the Stiftsarm branch of the Almkanal built through the mountain, in order to lead the waters into the city. This early adit system can be visited during the annual Almabkehr in September.</p><br>
<p>The Sigmundstor (colloquially Neutor) city gate, a 131 m long tunnel with elaborate Baroque portals, was built from 1764 to 1766 through the mountain at the behest of Archbishop Sigismund von Schrattenbach; it is today one of the oldest street tunnels in Central Europe. Large air-raid shelters in the mountain were built during World War II. After 1970 some of these were enlarged to an underground car park for more than 1400 vehicles.</p><br>
<h2>Mönchsberg today</h2><br>
<p>The Mönchsberg plateau offers a small-scale change of forests and meadows and therefore is a popular local recreation area for the Salzburg citizens and tourists. Castles on the Mönchsberg include:</p><br>
<p>The Johannesschlössl, rebuilt by Archbishop Wolf Dietrich Raitenau around 1590, since 1926 a guest house of the Catholic Pallotine order.</p><br>
<p>The archiepiscopal Marketenderschlössl, also held by the Pallottines and since 1960 a study centre run by the University of Redlands, California</p><br>
<p>Schloss Mönchstein, which had been held by the Benedictine University of Salzburg, has been a hotel since 1948.</p><br>
<p>The Kupelwieserschlössl, where the Austrian writer Peter Handke lived from 1979 to 1988. He described a walk over the Mönchsberg in his novella Nachmittag eines Schriftstellers (“afternoon of a writer”).</p><br>
<p>Furthermore several historic fortifications offer panoramic views over the city, to the Untersberg, the Berchtesgaden Alps and the Salzkammergut mountains:</p><br>
<p>The Richterhöhe, which makes an excellent prospect on the south of the city and the mountain chain of the alps behind it. The fort structures are documented were first documented in 1278. Prince-archbishop Paris von Lodron strengthened it during the Thirty Years&#39; War.</p><br>
<p>The Bürgerwehr was established about 1487/88 with 4 towers as part of the city walls and was extended with another 4 towers after 1500.</p><br>
<p>The Müllner Schanze with the military towers of the Augustinerpforte and Monikapforte were built by Archbishop Paris von Lodron in the years 1621 to 1644 as a three-step fortress and a part of the new city wall.</p><br>
<p>The Humboldtterrasse, a fortification structure also erected under Paris von Lodron, offers a unique panorama toward the Salzburg old town. It was originally called Klausenkavalier and is today named after Alexander von Humboldt, who allegedly once called the areas of Salzburg, Naples and Constantinople the “most beautiful on earth”.</p><br>
<p>The top of the Mönchsberg since 2004 is the second location of the Salzburg Museum of Modern Art. It used to be the site of the Grand Café Winkler, a popular restaurant destination, and the Salzburg Casino. Since 1890 visitors can reach the place with an elevator in the mountain. The panorama terrace adjacent to the museum is a much visited point with a view all over the old town.</p><br>
<p>Not only due to Peter Handke&#39;s stay, the Mönchsberg is frequently called the “mountain of writers”: It plays a significant role in the autobiographic work of Thomas Bernhard, but often not in the positive sense. It applies to him as „the suicide mountain“. The Austrian author Gerhard Amanshauser also was among the inhabitants of the Mönchsberg. In his autobiography “as a barbarian in the Prater” the mountain and the near Festungsberg is important.</p><br>

<p>The Hunter River is a river in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.</p><br>
<p>The headwaters of the river rise below Donkins Hill. The river flows in a south-westerly direction until it discharges into Prince Frederick Harbour then York Sound and the Indian Ocean.</p><br>
<p>The river was named in 1820 by the explorer Philip Parker King aboard the Mermaid while making charts in the area. The river was named after the surgeon on the Mermaid, James Hunter.</p><br>
<p>The river has two spectacular waterfalls, the Hunter Falls and Donkin Falls, both of which drop 90 m. Also a large and unique rock formation can be found at the mouth of the river.</p><br>
<p>The area is popular with tourism companies and several wilderness cruises operate in the area.</p><br>
<p>Steenkampsberg  is a South African mountain plateau in the Dullstroom - Belfast district of Mpumalanga Province. The plateau consists largely of high-altitude grassland, ranging between 1700 and 2274 metres, broken by rocky outcrops.</p><br>
<h2>Ecology</h2><br>
<p>The plateau has extensive tracts of unspoilt habitat, supporting a large diversity of mammals, birds and plant life. The common tree fern Cyathea dregei occurs along watercourses and streams, while overgrazed mountain slopes and eroded ravines are often dominated by Leucosidea sericea.</p><br>
<p>The area is home to more than 150 bird species, a large number being endemic. The wetlands of the region shelter all of the three endangered South African species of crane - blue, crowned, and wattled. Two of the wetlands, Lakenvlei, 8 km north-east of Belfast, and Verloren Valei, 9 km north of Dullstroom, are of particular importance for the survival of these species.</p><br>
<p>Waterbirds, such as heron, rail, crake, Egyptian goose, spur-winged goose, kingfisher, coot, sacred ibis and whiskered tern, make up a large proportion of the birdlife. Open grassland species include lark, pipit, cisticola, finch, bustard, bald ibis and francolin. Raptors in the area include steppe- and jackal buzzard, snake eagle, long-crested eagle, Fish eagle and secretary bird. Mammals include a few antelope species such as the oribi, grey duiker, mountain reedbuck, grey rhebuck and steenbok. Also occurring are serval, civet, Southern African wildcat and caracal. Black-backed jackal, brown hyena, aardwolf, porcupine, bushpig and aardvark are nocturnal and rarely seen. Both otter species, the Cape clawless otter, and the smaller spotted-necked otter are to be found throughout the plateau. Their diet includes the introduced rainbow trout and accordingly they are regularly poisoned, trapped or hunted by trout fly-fishing resorts and trout hatcheries who feel their livelihood threatened.</p><br>
<p>Rainbow trout have had a seriously detrimental impact on native fish species in the headwaters of streams draining the Steenkampsberg.</p><br>
<h2>Land management</h2><br>
<p>The area is covered by some 150 privately owned farms.</p><br>
<p>Raccoon Island is an island on Lake Hopatcong in New Jersey, comprising about 50 acre with mixed private homes and lots. It is part of Jefferson Township, in Morris County, New Jersey.</p><br>
<p>Seasonal (April–October), limited schedule ferry service provides access to the island by car or light truck. With this limited accessibility, few people live year-round on the island, but during the summer months many families from the surrounding area temporarily "relocate" and commute to their work from there. The homes range from small cottages that were built from the 1880s onwards, to more contemporary and remodeled homes with sizable lots. There is no public land on the island.</p><br>
<p>In the late 19th century paddle-wheel boats used to provide transportation links from mainland railway stations to resort hotels and campsites on the island. It was a summer tourist destination for New York City residents (45 mi east) before expanded auto and air transportation made more exotic travel feasible.</p><br>
<h2>Bridge and Ferry History</h2><br>
<p>In the past Lake Hopatcong was two separate lakes known as Big Pond and Little Pond. After development began in the 1880s a bridge was built serving the island to the mainland. The Chincopee Bridge was opened in 1891 but collapsed in 1899. A new bridge was planned and approved in 1928, but the great depression halted that project. In 1932 a ferry service was started to serve the island from Chincopee Road, continuing to today.</p><br>
<p>Rodman Reservoir, or Lake Ocklawaha, is an artificial reservoir located on the Ocklawaha River in Putnam County and Marion County in north central Florida. The reservoir, located about 15 miles southwest of Palatka, is approximately 15 miles in length, covers 9,500 acres and is located between State Road 19 on the east and State Road 315 on the west. It is also a premier largemouth bass fishery for Northeast Florida.</p><br>
<p>Before the USA Army Corps of Engineers created the reservoir, they used a mammoth machine called the crusher-crawler to clear sections of the forest along the Ocklawaha&#39;s wooded riverbanks. Upon closing Rodman Dam and flooding the reservoir in 1968, the crushed trees floated up to the top of the reservoir.</p><br>
<p>The earthen dam and reservoir were the first of a set of two dams and reservoirs that the Corps planned to build along the Ocklawaha River to facilitate navigation along the Cross Florida Barge Canal. However, in 1971, due to the successful efforts of environmentalist Marjorie Harris Carr and Florida Defenders of the Environment (FDE), President Richard Nixon halted construction of the canal. Carr worked until her death in 1997 to preserve and restore the Ocklawaha River.</p><br>
<p>A four-gate spillway (Kirkpatrick Dam) controls the water levels of the reservoir. The reservoir from its headwaters at Eureka Dam to Paynes Landing consists of flooded woodlands. The transition section from Paynes Landing to Orange Springs consists of flooded standing timber and areas of floating vegetation. The pool section from Orange Springs to Kirkpatrick Dam, including the river channel and the extant Cross Florida Barge Canal, consists of floating and submersed vegetation, dead standing timber and submersed and partially submersed trees and stumps. The discontinued Barge Canal and the existing river channel have water depths up to 30 feet deep. Submersed vegetation (hydrilla, coontail and eel grass) is common in the pool section of the reservoir. Drawdowns are conducted every three to four years on the reservoir for aquatic plant control and fish and wildlife habitat enhancement.</p><br>
<p>Rodman Dam was later named the George Kirkpatrick Dam to honor the Florida state senator who was one of the dams biggest proponents. As of 2014, FDEs campaign for a free-flowing Ocklawaha River is in its fifth decade.</p><br>
<p>Tsala Apopka Lake is a chain of lakes located within a bend in the Withlacoochee River in Citrus County in north central Florida. This area is known historically as the Cove of the Withlacoochee.</p><br>
<p>Tsala Apopka Lake is composed of a number of lakes, swamps and marshes interspersed with islands, with a total open water surface area of about 19,000 acre. It is spread through an area of about 63,000 acre, bounded by State Road 200 to the north, State Road 48 to the south, the Withlacoochee River to the east, and US 41 to the west. About one-quarter of the area is in mesic hammocks or live oak scrub. Modern water control structures divide the chain of lakes into three pools, Floral City, Hernando and Inverness. Historically, water flowed between the Withlacoochee River and Tsala Apopka Lake through wetlands. The main source of water flow into the chain of lakes today is through canals from the Withlacoochee River into the Floral City Pool. Water from the Floral City Pool flows partly into the Inverness Pool, and partly back into the Withlacoochee through canals. Most of the outflow from the Inverness Pool goes to the Hernando Pool, and thence into the Withlacoochee River. Tsala Apopka Lake lies in an area that has been labeled by geologists as the Tsala Apopka Plain of the Western Valley and the Tsala Apopka Basin of the Ocala Uplift Physiographic District.</p><br>
<p>The Cove of the Withlacoochee was occupied by Indigenous peoples of Florida for many centuries. As of 1984, 30 archaeological sites had been identified in the area, with evidence of occupation by people of the Deptford, Weeden Island, and Safety Harbor cultures. The de Soto expedition crossed the middle section of the Cove in 1539 before reaching the Timucua town of Ocale. The Duval Island archaeological site (8Ci5), at the southern end of the Cove, is a likely location for the town of Tocaste named in the chronicles of the de Soto expedition. Another archaeological site, Tatham Mound (8Ci203), contained burials of a few people killed by sword blows, and of at least 77 individuals who apparently died at close to the same time, perhaps from an epidemic disease introduce by the de Soto expedition. The area supported a large Seminole population before and during the Second Seminole War. The Wild Hog Scrub archaeological site (8Ci198) has been tentatively identified as Powells Town, Osceolas home at the beginning of the Second Seminole War. The Cove was a focus of military activity in the first year of the Second Seminole War, with large USA forces attacking the Seminoles there in December 1835, February–March 1836 and October–November 1836.</p><br>
<p>Gleniffer Lake also known as Gleniffer Reservoir</p><br>
<p>is an artificial lake in central Alberta, Canada created in 1983</p><br>
<p>It lies at an elevation of 945 m, and is approximately 7 km long and 2 km wide. The lake is south of Highway 54 and east of the Cowboy Trail, 36 km west of Innisfail, Alberta and 36 km east of Caroline.</p><br>
<p>The lake has a surface of 17.6 km&sup2, and a watershed of 5,610 km&sup2;. It has an average depth of 11.6 m, and reaches a maximum of 33 m.</p><br>
<p>Gleniffer Lake has day-use areas, cottages, a campground and resort developments including Carefree Resort and Gleniffer Lake Resort.</p><br>
<p>The lake reservoir is a source of drinking water for the surrounding area.</p><br>
<h2>Dickson Dam</h2><br>
<p>Dickson Dam regulates the flow of the Red Deer River to control for floods and low winter flows, to improve quality of the river, to create a recreational resource and to provide a reliable, year-round water supply sufficient for future industrial, regional and municipal growth.</p><br>
<h2>Gleniffer Reservoir Provincial Recreation Area</h2><br>
<p>Gleniffer Reservoir Provincial Recreation Area is a popular recreational area with a beach, various fishing areas, boating, camping and resorts. In the summer of 2009, consolidated six provincial recreation areas at Dickson Dam and around Gleniffer Lake (Dickson Dam - Cottonwood Provincial Recreation Area, Dickson Dam - Dickson Point Provincial Recreation Area, Dickson Dam - North Dyke Provincial Recreation Area, Dickson Dam - South Dyke Provincial Recreation Area, Dickson Dam - North Valley Provincial Recreation Area, Dickson Dam - South Valley Provincial Recreation Area) into one provincial recreation area renamed Gleniffer Reservoir Provincial Recreation Area. Motorboating, waterskiing, swimming, and sailboarding are allowed. There are rainbow trout in a trout pond. Pike, Walleye, Rockies, and Brown Trout are also found nearby.</p><br>
<p>Gleniffer Reservoir Provincial Recreation Area has trout ponds including one at Dickson Point which is popular for ice fishing.</p><br>
<h2>Environmental concerns</h2><br>
<h3>Pipeline leaks</h3><br>
<p>Increased water flow of the Red Deer River system during heavy rainfall in June 2008 eroded supporting soil, freely exposing a section of Pembina Pipeline Corporation&#39;s Cremona crude oil pipeline to the Red Deer River currents. About 75 to 125 barrels of crude oil flowed upstream from the breakpoint under a Red Deer River channel, leaving an oily sheen on Gleniffer Reservoir and 6800 kilograms (15 000 lbs) of oil-soaked debris.</p><br>
<p>The pipeline, leased to Pembina, was built in 1959.</p><br>
<p>The remediation was not completed until 2011.</p><br>
<h3>Rangeland pipeline incident</h3><br>
<p>Heavy rains in early June 2012 caused a similar but larger leak on a Plains Midstream Canada 46-year-old pipeline at Jackson Creek which spilled approximately 1000 and 3000 barrels (160,000-475,000 litres) of light sour crude into the Red Deer River.</p><br>
<p>The Rabbit Islands  are a group of small uninhabited Turkish islands in the northern Aegean Sea. They are situated approximately four nautical miles  off the mainland coast of the Turkish province of Çanakkale, 6 mi north of the island of Tenedos , and 8 mi south-west of the entrance of the straights of the Dardanelles. The largest islet of the group, called Tavşan adası or Rabbit Island proper, is some 2 km long and 600 m wide. To its south are three small rocky islets called Pırasa, Orak and Yılan.</p><br>
<p>The Rabbit Islands gained some political and strategic significance in the early 20th century, because their territorial waters are important for the control of the entrance to the Dardanelles. They were assigned to Turkey in the Treaty of Lausanne, where they are mentioned in Article 12 along with the nearby larger islands of Tenedos and Imbros (Gökçeada), as the only Aegean islands to be retained by Turkey that are more than three miles (3 mi)away from its mainland coast.</p><br>
<p>Today the islets are a popular spot for diving enthusiasts.</p><br>
<p>Augustus Island, locally called Wurroolgu, is an island off the Kimberley coast of Western Australia, within the Shire of Wyndham-East Kimberley.</p><br>
<p>The island is 22 km in length and has a maximum width of 16 km with a total area of 190 km&sup2; and has an irregular shape. It is at the Southern end of the Bonaparte Archipelago.</p><br>
<p>The island is found approximately 120 km north-east of Bardi.</p><br>
<p>Although most of the islands in the Kimberley are unallocated DEC crown land, Jungulu is one of the islands near the former Kunmunya Mission which</p><br>
<p>are included in Reserve 23079 for Use and Benefit of Aborigines.</p><br>
<p>The island is uninhabited and contains no known feral animals.</p><br>
<p>Many flora and fauna were isolated from the mainland when sea levels rose and many populations are found intact on the island. The island provides ideal habitat for the Nabarlek, also known as the Little Rock-Wallaby, with the weathered sandstone forming deep fissures.</p><br>
<p>The golden bandicoot is another vulnerable species that is resident on the island, the last recorded sighting being in 2003. This species favours the Warton sandstone and the heathland on dissected sandstone.</p><br>
<p>The Sedili Besar River  is a river in the eastern region of Johor, Malaysia.</p><br>
<p>The mouth of the river is situated at the northern end of Teluk Mahkota bay, and empties into the South China Sea.</p><br>
<p>The Tanjung Sedili Bridge spans the river near its mouth close to the village of Tanjung Sedili. It spans 600 metres across the river and links the coastal regions to the north and south of the river. Its construction was completed in around 2006.</p><br>
<p>The word "sungai" (also spelt "sungei") is the geographical term for "river" in the local Malay language, whilst the word "besar" means large. At the southern end of Teluk Mahkota bay is a smaller river known as Sungai Sedili Kechil. The word "kechil" means "small" in the Malay language.</p><br>
<p>Mara Lake is a lake in the Shuswap Country of the Southern Interior of British Columbia, Canada, located immediately south of the community of Sicamous and to the north of the community of Enderby. It is the outlet of the Shuswap River, which begins in the Monashee Mountains to the east. Its own outlet is Sicamous Narrows, which is a short canal-like stretch of water connecting to Shuswap Lake and passing beneath the Trans-Canada Highway and the Canadian Pacific Railway mainline at Sicamous. All are part of the drainage of the South Thompson River, which begins at the outlet of Little Shuswap Lake.</p><br>
<p>The lake is navigable from Shuswap Lahich is a popular boating area, and in addition to Mara Provincial Park its shores include the Mara Point Site of Shuswap Lake Marine Provincial Park.</p><br>
<h2>Name origin</h2><br>
<p>"After John Andrew Mara, an Overlander of &#39;62; born at Toronto; had store at Seymour on Shuswap Lake in 1865, later at Kamloops; merchant, miller, steamship operator, promoter of Kootenay Steam Navigation Company and Shuswap & Okanagan Railway (CPR, Sicamous-Okanagan Lake), MLA, 1871 - 86 (Speaker, 1883 - 86); MP, 1887 - 96. Retired to Victoria, where he died February 11, 1920, aged 79."</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>An Internment camp was set up at Tents and Bunkhouses in Mara Lake from June 1915 to July 1917.</p><br>
<h2>Nearby community</h2><br>
<p>The Sicamous region also sees many tourists every summer. Approximately 90% of the population of the nearby community of Swansea Point is seasonal, with thousands of visitors each summer during the months of July and August.</p><br>
<p>Birkenhead Peak, commonly known as Mount Birkenhead and sometimes Birkenhead Mountain and also Mount Birken, 2506 m  prominence: 1781 m, is a mountain in the Gates Valley region of the Lillooet Country of the South-Central Interior of British Columbia, Canada. Located approximately midway between the towns of Lillooet  and Pemberton-Mount Currie, the mountain&#39;s very high prominence separates it from the adjoining Cadwallader Range by the pass between Blackwater Creek and Birkenhead Lake.</p><br>
<p>The mountain was named by Hudson&#39;s Bay Company explorer and trader A.C. Anderson on an exploration of the route in 1842 in honour of the crew of HMS Birkenhead; nearby Seton Lake was named in honour of one of its crew who was his school-friend.</p><br>
<p>The community of Birken is located at its southwest foot, Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park and the lake of the same name are on its northwest. It is framed on its north side by Blackwater Creek, a tributary of the Gates River, and on its southwest by the valley of the Birkenhead River.</p><br>
<p>Old Main, built in 1886, was the first and is the oldest remaining building on the University of Wyoming campus, in Laramie, Wyoming. The building currently houses University administration.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Old Main was built as a result of the University Bill, passed by the government of the Territory of Wyoming. In a compromise among territorial legislators, Laramie was given the University, Cheyenne was given the capitol, and Evanston was given $10,000 to build an insane asylum.</p><br>
<p>All three cities were at the time fast-growing centers in their area connected by the railroad.</p><br>
<p>Territorial Governor Francis E. Warren appointed three Laramie residents to a building commission (J.W. Donnellan, LeRoy Grant and Robert Marsh) and allocated $50,000 to build the first University Building in the Wyoming Territory.</p><br>
<p>The building commission contracted Frederick Hale to design and Cook and Callahan to construct the building.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and construction</h2><br>
<p>Frederick Hale began his career as an architect in Denver around 1890. After designing Old Main early in his career, Hale moved to Utah where he proceeded to become an important figure in Salt Lake City architecture. Hale’s portfolio included are the David Keith Mansion, the Downey House, the Haxton Place, and the Markland/Walker House, all built on Salt Lake City’s historic Temple Street. He also built the A.O. Whitmore Electric Automobile Building in Salt Lake City.</p><br>
<p>Old Main was built in the Romanesque Revival style. The heavy stone construction, the axial nature, the use of symmetry, the use of the arch, and the rectangular footprint displayed at Old Main are all strong characteristics of Romanesque construction. The primary stone used is rough-cut sandstone quarried from east of Laramie. The trim stone is Potsdam Sandstone quarried from the Rawlins area. This stone is smooth in texture providing contrast to the native sandstone.</p><br>
<p>Being the first University building in the Wyoming Territory, Old Main needed to be a monumental structure, so Hale designed symmetrical building with a central spire. The spire served as both a focal point for the structure and a signal of importance to anyone passing by.</p><br>
<p>Rather than designing a building similar to university structures of the East, Hale designed Old Main in the context of Wyoming. The rough-textured body of the building represented the developing frontier, while the minimal usage of classical decoration symbolized the emerging sophistication of the Wyoming population.</p><br>
<p>The cornerstone was laid on September 27, 1886 by the Masonic Order. Construction was completed on September 1, 1887; just in time for classes to begin on September 6, 1887. When opened, Old Main was called the University Building because it housed the entire university: classrooms, labs, administration, maintenance, an auditorium and a library were included, plus a two-story, 500-seat auditorium on the second level that quickly became the entertainment center for Laramie.</p><br>
<h2>Later changes</h2><br>
<p>The central spire was removed in 1916 due to structural concerns, completely changing the character of the structure, and resulting in a somewhat awkward central section (now hidden by two large spruce trees). After the campus expanded the building was renamed the Language Building.</p><br>
<p>The auditorium was reduced in size during a 1936 renovation and then completely removed in 1949. This remodeling drastically changed the building&#39;s interior and did not match the original style. The auditorium was replaced by a large central staircase and two stories of office space still in use today. The 1949 remodeling also officially changed the buildings name to Old Main. The office of the president was remodeled at this time and remains much unchanged today.</p><br>
<p>Originally the entrances to Old Main were elevated above ground level so that visitors would ascend to the first floor before entering the building; they were modified in 1949 so that visitors now enter down to the basement level.</p><br>
<h2>Context</h2><br>
<p>Two Wyoming structures which could most be considered contemporary to Old Main are the Union Pacific Train Depot (1886) in Cheyenne, and the State Capitol building (construction began in 1887) also in Cheyenne. At the time of construction, Old Main would have had a similar level of importance to the Wyoming Territory as the other two structures. Because of their importance to the history of Wyoming and their architectural significance, these two buildings are now listed with the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Together these three structures show that the 1880s were a time of excitement, growth, and change. Shortly after the construction of Old Main, the state of Wyoming was accepted to the union in 1890.</p><br>
<h2>Influence</h2><br>
<p>Old Main had a strong influence on the direction of architecture on the University of Wyoming campus. It heavily influenced later campus construction, visible from the similar use of native stone on virtually every building and the similar three portal design used on buildings such as Half Acre Gymnasium. University structures built today use modern construction techniques and materials such as steel but still incorporate a rough-cut sandstone façade, resulting in a uniform architecture throughout the campus.</p><br>
<p>Bay Shore Post Office, the USA post office in Bay Shore, New York, is located at 10 Bay Shore Avenue just north of Main Street. It serves the ZIP code 11706, as well as Kismet, Saltaire, Dunewood, Fair Harbor, and Point O&#39;Woods, on Fire Island.</p><br>
<p>Bay Shore Post Office was designed by Louis A. Simon and artist Wheeler Williams. Unlike Simon&#39;s work on the Post Office buildings in Northport, Riverhead, and Westhampton Beach, Bay Shore Post Office was not designed in conjunction with the United States Treasury Department.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988, unlike other Simon-built Post Offices in Suffolk County that were added in 1989.</p><br>

<p>Middle Sister Island is a 9.5 acre island in Lake Erie. Along with West Sister Island  and East Sister Island, it is part of the Pelee Archipelago in the western basin of Lake Erie, and is considered to be the "most natural and undisturbed" of these islands.</p><br>
<p>The island is currently for sale with an asking price of $888,888.</p><br>
<h2>War of 1812</h2><br>
<p>The island was a staging area for William Henry Harrison&#39;s USA troops, just prior to the invasion of Canada and the Battle of the Thames.</p><br>
<h2>Flora and fauna</h2><br>
<p>Guano from the Lake Erie population of double-crested cormorants is interfering with tree growth in the Carolinian forest on this island and the nearby East Sister Island and Middle Island.</p><br>
<p>The John Quincy Adams and Elizabeth Young House, also known as the John Quincy Adams Young House, is a historic American saltbox house built in 1869 in the USA state of Oregon. It is located in the unincorporated Cedar Mill area of Washington County, Oregon, near Portland, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>John Quincy Adams Young and his wife Elizabeth Young settled in the area in 1862 and built a log cabin. In 1869, they built a new home, followed by another larger one built in 1873. Young served as the first postmaster of Cedar Mill starting in 1874. He named the community after the cedar trees in the area and for the mill he co-owned. The post office was located in the 1869 house, with the family living across the road in a newer home. Young remained as postmaster until 1882.</p><br>
<p>The house and a half acre of land surrounding it have been owned by the Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District (THPRD) since 2005. The group was also attempting to raise $650,000 to completely restore the home and allow it to be opened up to the public.</p><br>
<p>Wallum Lake is a 322 acre lake that lies in Burrillville, Providence County, Rhode Island and Douglas, Worcester County, Massachusetts. It is adjacent to Douglas State Forest and Wallum Lake Park.</p><br>
<p>There are two paved boat ramps: one at the north end off Wallum Lake Road, Douglas, Massachusetts, the second at the southern extreme in Burrillville, Rhode Island. A study reported ten species of fish, based upon a 1994 summer sampling. Largemouth bass, yellow perch and bluegills are common. Additional species present included pumpkinseed, chain pickerel, landlocked alewife, brood salmon and eels. Licenses from either state are valid, but Rhode Island regulations apply.</p><br>
<p>Wallum Lake has been stocked with rainbow trout and brown trout. Rainbow trout are stocked on a put-and-take basis, and the state of Rhode Island has stocked numerous landlocked salmon and occasionally broodstock salmon.</p><br>
<p>Mynydd Carn-y-cefn is the name given to the broad ridge of high ground between the Ebbw Vale and the valley of the Ebbw Fach in the Valleys region of South Wales. It lies within the unitary area of Blaenau Gwent, formerly Monmouthshire.</p><br>
<p>The broad-topped ridge runs NNW-SSE and achieves a summit height of 550 m at a point crowned by a trig point at OS grid ref SO 187084 between Ebbw Vale and Blaina. It is a Marilyn with a prominence of 176 metres.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>The entire hill is composed of sandstones and mudstones dating from the Carboniferous Period. There are also numerous coal seams within the sequence, most of which have been worked. The upper part of the hill including the summit plateau is formed from the Pennant Sandstone, a rock assigned to the Carboniferous Upper Coal Measures.</p><br>
<p>The flanks of the hill owe their steepness in part to the action of glacial ice during the succession of ice ages.</p><br>
<p>There are also 3 other hills surrounding Mynydd Carn-Y-Cefn which are Coity Mountain and Mulfran. You can also see Pen y Fan from the summit.</p><br>
<p>There are numerous landslips on the flanks of the ridge, notably above Blaina.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>A minor public road runs along the western edge of the plateau. Most of the ridge has been mapped as open country under the CRoW Act thus giving a right of access to walkers. There are a number of public footpaths and other public rights of way across and along the ridge.</p><br>
<p>The Enfield Shaker Museum is an outdoor history museum and historic district in Enfield, New Hampshire in the United States. It is dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of the Shakers, a Protestant religious denomination, who lived on the site from 1793 to 1923. The museum features exhibitions, artifacts, eight Shaker buildings and restored Shaker gardens. It is located in a valley between Mount Assurance and Mascoma Lake in Enfield.</p><br>
<p>One of the buildings, the Great Stone Dwelling, was the largest residential building north of Boston and is the largest Shaker building. When the Shaker community closed, most of the land that made up the Enfield Shaker Village was sold to the Missionaries of La Salette. The state owns 28 acre and 13 buildings, which is now the Enfield Shaker Museum.</p><br>
<h2>Shakers</h2><br>
<h3>Village history</h3><br>
<p>The Shakers, or United Society of Believers in Christ&#39;s Second Appearing, settled on the site in 1793 along Lake Mascoma on up to 1,200 acre. A meetinghouse was built May 1793 and a residential building was constructed in 1794. Subsequent buildings were made of granite with advanced stone masonry techniques, which was revolutionary for that time period. There were 132 members of the village by 1803, and by 1840 there were nearly 300 people.</p><br>
<p>Within the village was the largest Shaker dwelling and the largest residential dwelling north of Boston, the Great Stone Building. Built from 1837 to 1841 for the Church Family, it had four full stories and a total of six stories. Men and women lived in the building, but entered doors specific for their gender to separate quarters. It was designed by Ammi Burnham Young, who created the designs for the second state capitol in Vermont and was the first supervising architect for the United States Treasury. The granite stonework on the exterior and the slate roof were constructed by stonemasons from Boston. The Shaker brothers constructed the rest of the building themselves.</p><br>
<p>In 1849 the Shakers built the half-mile long Shaker Bridge that crossed a narrow portion of Lake Mascoma to the railroad line. In 1870 the elaborate Victorian and Shaker architectural Ministry shop was built to house the community&#39;s religious leaders. To support itself, the community made brooms, buckets, spinning wheels, tubs, dry measures and shirts. It also made and sold applesauce, maple syrup, herbs, medicines and seeds.</p><br>
<p>Like other Shaker communities, the Enfield Shaker village declined throughout the second half of the 19th century. In 1923, they closed the Enfield Shaker village and moved to the Canterbury community in central New Hampshire.</p><br>
<p>Much of the village property was sold in 1927 to the La Salettes. The site is listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places as the Enfield Shaker Historic District.</p><br>
<h3>Museum</h3><br>
<p>Since 1986, the Enfield Shaker Museum has worked to preserve the Shaker heritage of the site without neglecting the 20th century history of the village. The Great Stone Dwelling houses the gift shop and the primary exhibition space. The museum is open 7 days a week, offering tours of the site, and offers overnight stays in the original Shaker bedrooms of the Great Stone Dwelling.</p><br>
<p>There are 13 remaining Shaker village buildings and gardens on 28 acres, which can be seen during a self-guided walking tour. The village museum is owned by the state of New Hampshire.</p><br>
<h2>Missionaries of La Salette</h2><br>
<p>In 1927, the site was sold to the Missionaries of La Salette, who converted the site into a seminary for the Catholic priesthood, school and conference site.</p><br>
