<p>Walker Center  is a skyscraper in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States. It was opened on December 9, 1912; taking a little over a year to be built. At the time of its completion, it stood as the tallest building between Chicago and San Francisco . It was originally constructed as the headquarters for Walker Bank, founded by the Walker brothers: Samuel, Joseph, David, and Matthew. The basement originally contained the vault for the bank, as well as a barbershop, florist, cigar store, and other shops. The main floor contained the bank, and upper floors were used as office space. It was designed by the St. Louis, Missouri-based architecture firm Eames and Young.</p><br>
<h2>Weather Tower</h2><br>
<p>The Walker Center is topped by a 64-foot weather tower, which gives a weather forecast based on the color of the lights. The weather tower was taken down in the 1980s due to a city ordinance but replaced in 2008. The meaning of the tower colors are:</p><br>
<p>blue: clear skies</p><br>
<p>flashing blue: cloudy skies</p><br>
<p>red: rain</p><br>
<p>flashing red: snow</p><br>
<p>The Keeseville Historic District is a historic district listed on the National Register of Historic Places containing 142 historic structures in Keeseville, in Essex and Clinton counties in New York, in the United States. The buildings, built between 1820 and 1936, are concentrated on the streets near the Ausable River, which runs through the center of the village.</p><br>
<p>The district contains well-preserved examples of industrial and commercial buildings, working-class houses, entrepreneurs residences, and two historic bridges spanning the Ausable River which divides the village and is the border between Essex and Clinton counties. Keesevilles architectural heritage includes regional examples of Classical, Gothic Revival, and Italianate design, many designed and built by noted local craftsmen Seneca and Isaac Perry, along with more modest structures; many of the structures are built of local river sandstone. In its historic setting and in the quality and variety of its historic structures, the Keeseville Historic District typifies the Adirondack water-powered mill community of the period 1820-1890.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>White River Junction Historic District is a historic district in the unincorporated village of White River Junction, within the town of Hartford, Vermont. It was first listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, and its boundaries were increased in 2002. It originally encompassed the central portion of the village&#39;s business district, and was then expanded to include a broader array of resources.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The village of White River Junction is located in central eastern Vermont, at the mouth of the White River where it joins the Connecticut River. First settled in the 1760s, it was from the 1840s to the 1960s the most important railroad junction in northern New England, providing an interchange point between the Boston and Maine Railroad (originally known as the Connecticut River Railroad), the Vermont Central Railway, which served Burlington, the Passumpsic Rivers Railroad, which served Newport, the Northern New Hampshire Railroad, serving Concord, New Hampshire and Boston, Massachusetts, and the Woodstock Railway, serving Woodstock, Vermont. Its central business district is located southwest of a bend in the Vermont Central tracks, which roughly parallel the White River as it enters the Connecticut. Over the period of its economic height, the business area grew, mainly to the west and south, with residential areas in the surrounding uplands and across the White River. The village&#39;s economy declined after railroad service was reduced in the mid-20th century.</p><br>
<p>When first listed on the National Register in 1980, the historic district encompassed a portion of the central business district, oriented around the junction of Main and Gates Streets, extending only to Currier Street and across the railroad tracks to the historic passenger depot, which now serves Amtrak&#39;s Vermonter service. In 2002, its boundaries were enlarged to include most of the business district along with some immediately adjacent residential areas. The central portion of the business district is populated by mainly brick buildings, two and three stories in height, while its outlying areas (for example, further out on South and North Main Street), buildings are less densely spaced, and include some wood frame commercial buildings. The expanded historic district also includes the surviving railroad bridge across the White River, the 1884/1895 high school building located on the north side of the White River, and the Progressive Market, an important surviving example of a local ethnic market building.</p><br>
<p>Šator is a mountain in the Dinaric Alps, in the western regions of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The name šator means "tent". The highest peak Veliki Šator is 1,872 m above sea level. Dimensions of the mountain are some 15 km in the west–east and 10 km in the north–south direction.</p><br>
<p>The mountain area includes a lake, rich flora and fauna, numerous geomorphological and hydrological phenomena, as well as the aesthetic appearance in general.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Šator rises some 1000 meters above high plains and enormous karstic fields which surround it. These plains are among highest and most spacious karstic fields in the Dinaric Alps and certainly in Bosnia and Herzegovina.</p><br>
<p>On the south is Livanjsko Polje field located some 700 m above sea level, which is over 50 km long. Šator rises from its north - north-west end.</p><br>
<p>In the opposite direction, south - south-east, are Mount Staretina, peaking at 1,675 m above sea level, and Mountain Golija, 1,890 m above sea level. These mountains divide the Livanjsko field from the Glamočko Polje field.</p><br>
<p>To the east is a huge grassy plain, which is around 1,000 m above sea level. To the north is deep valley where the Unac River emerge and Župica Lake. On the north-west is an 1,100 m grassy plateau, and a 1,656 m mountain of Jadovnik.</p><br>
<p>The spacious and grassy Grahovsko Polje field is on the west, with an altitude above sea level of around 900 m meters. At the middle of the Grahovsko field is a small town of Bosansko Grahovo at an altitude around 861 m above sea level, a place which is a main approach to Šator. This whole area is bounded with a long mountain chain, which includes the peaks of Dinara on the border with Croatia.</p><br>
<h2>Peaks</h2><br>
<p>Šator peaks start rising with a sort of plateau 1,500 m meters above sea level, at the end of the dense forests of beech, fir and spruce. Those 5 peaks have a shape like tent and form a 10 km string in east–west direction. That is almost perpendicular to most of Dinaric Alps mountains, which stretch in southeast–northwest direction.</p><br>
<p>From a distance the whole mountain gives the impression of tent and that is how it got its name (šator=tent).</p><br>
<p>The highest peak, on the western end, is Veliki Šator (Veliki Šator=Great Šator) which rises to 1,872 m above sea level, while somewhat isolated, on the eastern end, is Mali Šator (Mali Šator=Little Šator), slightly shorter at 1,768 m. Two of the remaining three peaks exceed 1,750 m above sea level, while the third, the neighbor of Mali Šator, exceeds 1,800 m above sea level.</p><br>
<h2>Flora and fauna</h2><br>
<p>South slopes of Šator are grassy, in spring covered with carpets of flowers. On the opposite, north side are steep cliffs and scree slopes (also: talus piles) and karst depression with lot of dwarf pine.</p><br>
<p>Šator and area around the mountain were enormous pastures for thousands of cattle, which were driven from as far as Dalmatia, but are now almost depopulated.</p><br>
<h2>Tourism</h2><br>
<p>Šator is a tame mountain in general, in a sense, and therefore more suitable for family trips instead of serious mountaineering. A mountain road that reaches Šatorsko Lake at 1,488 m above sea level, grassy slopes, carpets of flowers and dense forests make this mountain attractive for visitors.</p><br>
<p>Vernon County Courthouse is a historic courthouse located at Nevada, Vernon County, Missouri. It was built between 1906 and 1908. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>The current Vernon County Courthouse was the third one to be built in Nevada; the first was a two story building one block west of the present day courthouse. In addition to the court, it was also used for church services.</p><br>
<p>At the outbreak of the Civil War, the population of Nevada was 425. The first courthouse was burned during the Civil War. On 2 May 1863, a group of pro-Union militiamen from neighboring Cedar County stormed the courthouse, only to be killed by the Vernon County defenders. When the Union men did not return home, a larger militia force rode on Nevada. They gave the inhabitants 15 minutes to gather their belongings, then burned the entire town to the ground.</p><br>
<p>Within the courthouse on the arched walls outside the courtroom, beautiful painted murals of the prairie have long been hidden beneath layers of paint and need to be recovered. Also on the property is the contributing granite and bronze William Joel Stone Monument (1934-1935), a memorial to Missouri politician William J. Stone (1848-1918).</p><br>
<p>This building was sold, by auction, for $35,000, in June 2012.</p><br>
<p>The Conygar Tower in Dunster, Somerset, England was built in 1775 and has been designated as a Grade II listed building.</p><br>
<p>It is a circular, 3 storey folly tower built of red sandstone, situated on a hill overlooking the village. It was commissioned by Henry Luttrell and designed by Richard Phelps and stands about 18 m high so that it can be seen from Dunster Castle on the opposite hillside. There is no evidence that it ever had floors or a roof.</p><br>
<p>The name Conygar comes from two medieval words Coney meaning rabbit and Garth meaning garden, indicating that it was once a warren where rabbits were bred for food.</p><br>
<p>In 1997 a survey carried out by The Crown Estate identified cracks in the walls which were repaired in 2000.</p><br>
<p>The Luttrell Arms in Dunster, Somerset, England was built in the late 15th century and is located in the centre of the medieval town of Dunster. The building has been designated as a Grade II* listed building since 22 May 1969. The original building has been enlarged over the years by addition of further wings. It is now used as a hotel.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Luttrell Arms occupies the site of three ancient houses recorded from 1443, when two of them were conveyed to Richard Luttrell by William Dodesham. There is no indication as to the age of these houses at the time, or what part, if any, they take in the building we see today. The building was formerly a guest house for the Abbots of Cleeve Abbey.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Luttrell Arms is a Grade II* listed building and was constructed in the late fifteenth to early sixteenth centuries, with some later additions and alterations. It is built of rubble stone with a slate roof. The original part of the house consists of three storeys, while the porch, at the centre of the front, is two storeys high. Wings of lower height were added to left and right at later dates, and a wing at the rear of the main part once served as the hall. The main doorway has a carved stone heraldic emblem above the outer door opening, moulded stone copings and a saddle stone at the gable. The windows on the main wings are sash windows with glazing bars, mostly single width, but double width to the right and left of the porch. The leaded casement-type windows on the porch have moulded stone mullions. The interior features include a four-centred stone door frame, an oak door frame, an open fireplace, large moulded oak ceiling beams and exposed rafters. A ground floor room has a seventeenth century plaster ceiling and an upper floor room has an open roof of timber with moulded arch braces and purlins.</p><br>
<h2>Luttrell Arms Hotel</h2><br>
<p>The building is now a hotel with twenty-eight bedrooms. In 2016 it was awarded Inn of the Year by The Good Pub Guide, which mentioned the "thoughtfully furnished bedrooms", some of which have four-poster beds, and "stunning architectural features".</p><br>
<p>Thurston County Courthouse in Pender, Nebraska is a Late Victorian style building. It has also been known as 2nd Thurston County Courthouse and Pender School. It was built as a school in 1895 and was converted to a courthouse in 1927. Architect J.F. Reynolds of Sioux City, Iowa designed the conversion.</p><br>
<p>The 1927 conversion created permanent courthouse space adequate for the court, which was desirable to settle dispute within the county about the county seat&#39;s proper location. Pender, established in 1884, has always been the county seat of Thurston County, established in 1889, but during the early 1900s the town of Walthill struggled to obtain the seat instead. The First Thurston County Courthouse (also NRHP-listed) had inadequate space and the county leased additional space from the nearby Palace Hotel. As part of promoting a county seat change, Walthill proponents sued the county commissioners to dispute the leasing arrangement in a case that won in a lower court and then went up to the Nebraska Supreme Court, which upheld the leasing arrangement and reversed the lower court decision. Walthill also pursued a petition drive which failed after Pender advocates established that there was fraud in obtaining signatures. The controversy included other charges back and forth, and went on during 1909 and 1910.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The William Taylor House in Resaca, Georgia is a historic home, built in 1913, that is used as the town hall of Resaca. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>The house was deemed significant for its association with William Taylor, veteran of the American Civil War. And it was also deemed significant for its architecture, as a good example of a central hall plan house.</p><br>
<p>William Taylor lived in the house for the last 30 years of his life. In 1938, at age almost 90, he attended the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, where he was among 60 veterans from Georgia, and among the seven of those who fought for the Union.</p><br>
<p>Taylor was likely born on August 25, 1848, and he died November 10, 1944 and is interred at the Resaca First Baptist Church cemetery beside his second wife Laura.</p><br>
<p>Loch Dhu is a house in northwestern Berkeley County, South Carolina about 7 mi east of Eutawville, South Carolina. It was built around 1812-1816. It is located close to Lake Marion about 1.3 mi north of South Carolina Route 6 on Loch Dhu Lane. It was named to the National Register of Historic Places on July 13, 1977.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The plantation house was probably built by Robert J. Kirk, who was a planter. His son, Philip C. Kirk, inherited the plantation. The 1860 Agricultural Census listed 550 acre improved and 260 acre unimproved. He planted cotton, corn, and sweet potatoes. Philip Kirk also served in the South Carolina General Assembly from 1854 to 1864. He was a surgeon in the Confederate Army and used his plantation to nurse wounded soldiers.</p><br>
<p>When Lake Marion was constructed, many old plantation homes were lost to the waters. The Hanover House was moved to Clemson due to its architectural significance. Loch Dhu was on higher ground and survived. It is now on a hill with Lake Marion behind.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>It is a two-story clapboard house with a hip roof. It was built around 1812. The house has a brick foundation and a one-story porch. It has two interior chimneys.</p><br>
<p>The front has two closely spaced doors that enter different rooms. There are two nine over nine lights on each side. The upper story has five nine over nine lights. The middle window is off center. All the windows on the front elevation have shutters. The side elevations have three nine over nine lights on each level. The lower windows have shutters. The rear elevation has a modern, two-story addition. The clapboard siding has been bricked over.</p><br>
<p>The interior plan has four rooms on both levels. The first story has a drawing and dining on the front and smaller rooms in the rear with no central hallway. The upper floor has four rooms with a central hall. The floors in the house are original. The drawing and dining rooms have wainscoting, which is stained in the dining room and painted in the drawing room.</p><br>
<p>Additional pictures and a sketch of the first floor plan are available. The old separate kitchen, barn, and smokehouse remain.</p><br>
<p>The Blakeley Building is a historic commercial building at 475-479 Essex St in central Lawrence, Massachusetts. It is the only well-preserved 19th century remnant of a streetscape that extended for the entire block. The four story Classical Revival building was built in 1898 for Richard Barlow, at that time completing the block between Franklin and Hampshire Streets. Since then, the other buildings have either been demolished and replaced, or have been altered substantially. Construction is predominantly in brick, with granite and metal trim elements. The building houses retail establishments on the ground floor and office space on its upper floors.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>Torre Egger is one of the mountains of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field in South America. It is located in a region which is disputed between Argentina and Chile, west of Cerro Chalten . The peak is between Cerro Torre, the highest in a four mountain chain and Cerro Stanhardt. It is named after the italian alpinist Toni Egger , who died while attempting neighboring Cerro Torre.</p><br>
<h2>First ascent</h2><br>
<p>In 1976, John Bragg, Jim Donini and Jay Wilson from the United States climbed Torre Egger by climbing first to the col between the peak and Cerro Torre, the Col of Conquest, and then up the ridge to the peak. The ascent was hampered by bad weather and took from December 1975 to February 22, 1976 when the 3-person team summitted.</p><br>
<h2>Other ascents</h2><br>
<p>1986 Psycho Vertical (Southeast Face) (UIAA ED+ VII+ A3 90deg, 950m) Janez Jeglic, Silvo Karo, Franc Knez (Yugoslavia), December 7, 1986.</p><br>

<p>In January 2008, Rolando Garibotti and Colin Haley made the first complete traverse of the entire massif, climbing Aguja Standhardt, Punta Herron, Torre Egger and Cerro Torre together. They rate their route at Grade VI 5.11 A1 WI6 Mushroom Ice 6, with 2,200 m total vertical gain. This had been "one of the world&#39;s most iconic, unclimbed lines", first attempted by Ermanno Salvaterra.</p><br>
<p>Ammerdown House in Kilmersdon, Somerset, England, was built in 1788. It has been designated as Grade I listed building.</p><br>
<p>It was built as a country house with stables and an adjacent formal garden within landscaped parkland in emparked landscape by James Wyatt for Thomas Samuel Jolliffe. The house has been handed down through the Jolliffe family to William Jolliffe, a politician, who was made Baron Hylton in the mid-19th century; the house was enlarged in 1855 & 1877, with further alteration to the west front being undertaken in 1901, possibly by Sir Edwin Lutyens.</p><br>
<p>A pair of lodges, gate piers and gates, associated with Ammerdown House, which were also built in 1788–94 by James Wyatt, are Grade II* listed buildings and on the English Heritage Heritage at Risk register. Since 1973 the stables have been significantly altered and converted into a study centre.</p><br>
<p>The orangery and walled garden were built around 1793.</p><br>
<p>In 1853 John Twyford Jolliffe & Thomas Robert Jolliffe, the children of the builder of the house, Thomas Samuel Jolliffe, built a 150 ft high column, known as the Ammerdown Park Column, Ammerdown Lighthouse or the Jolliffe Column. It was a near replica of Eddystone Lighthouse with a glass dome or viewing lantern which could be illuminated. It is a Grade II* listed building.In the late 19th century a local quarry owner, John Turner of Faulkland, took out a lawsuit against his neighbour Hedworth Jolliffe, 2nd Baron Hylton who owned Ammerdown House in Kilmersdon. When Turner lost he erected a tower of around 180 feet (55 m) high to rival the column at Ammerdown, with a dance hall and tea garden at the base. When Turner died in 1894, Lord Hylton bought the structure to demolish it. The base and dance hall were converted into workers cottages and eventually demolished in 1969.</p><br>
<p>The gardens include gothic fountains and statues surrounded by mature yews nearly 4 m high, hedging, Portugal laurels and honeysuckles trained over wired umbrellas. Spring colour is provided by daffodils, cowslips and magnolia with roses, dahlias and wild orchids flowering in the summer. The gardens are listed, Grade II*, on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of special historic interest in England.</p><br>
<p>The current residents of the house are Andrew and DIana Jolliffe, the son and daughter in law of the 5th Baron Hylton, the current Lord Hylton. The family estate covers many of the villages around including Kilmersdon, although much of the former residential property of the estate is run by a charitable housing association set up by the current Lord Hylton.</p><br>
<p>Notion or Notium  was a Greek city-state on the west coast of Anatolia; it is about 50 km south of Izmir in modern Turkey, on the Gulf of Kuşadası. Notion was located on a hill from which the sea was visible; it served as a port for nearby Colophon and Claros, and pilgrims frequently passed through on their way to the oracle of Apollo at Claros. There are still remains of the defense walls, necropolis, temple, agora, and theater. The ruins of the city are now found east of the modern town Ahmetbeyli in the Menderes district of Izmir Province, Turkey.</p><br>
<p>The earliest reference to Notion is in Herodotus, who includes it among the cities of Aeolis (of which it is the southernmost): "Kyme, which is called Phriconis, Larisai, Neon-teichos, Temnos, Killa, Notion, Aigiroëssa, Pitane, Aigaiai, Myrina, Grynei" (I:149). Its proximity to the Ionian city of Colophon needs explanation; we may "suppose either that the Ionian settlers negotiated their rights of passage up to their inland site or more probably that they reached it originally up one of the other river valleys." Robin Lane Fox, discussing the early rivalry between the cities, writes:</p><br>
<p>Relations between Colophon and nearby Notion were never easy and their bitter rivalry may help to explain the story of a quarrel between the two prophets at Claros. The Aeolian Greeks at Notion had a special relationship with Aeolian Mopsus, but the Ionian Greeks at Colophon had a special relationship with Calchas. It was, then, particularly appealing for the Aeolian controllers of Claros to claim that Mopsus had outwitted Calchas and caused his death on the site.</p><br>
<p>H. W. Parke suggests that in the seventh century BC "Claros was in the control of Notion, which must have remained a small Aeolian town dominated by its more powerful inland neighbour, but also protected by it against the threat of Lydia. Notion itself was not big enough to send out colonies on its own." Persia conquered Colophon and Notion in the mid-sixth century BC, but they were liberated in the Greco–Persian Wars and joined the Delian League separately (Colophon paying three talents a year, the smaller Notion only a third of a talent).</p><br>
<p>During the first years of the Peloponnesian War, Notion was split into factions, one of which called in mercenaries under Persian command; the Athenian admiral Paches ruthlessly restored the pro-Athenian faction to power, "and settlers were afterwards sent out from Athens, and the place colonized according to Athenian laws" (Thucydides III:34). Thereafter it served as an Athenian base. In 406 BC it was the site of the Spartan victory at the Battle of Notium. By the late fourth century BC it was joined in a sympoliteia (federal league) with Colophon and "by the Roman period the name of Notion dropped out of use completely."</p><br>
<p>The Broadway Tower, located in the Enid Downtown Historic District in Enid, Oklahoma, was constructed in 1931 by McMillen and Shelton Construction Company. The Broadway Development Company hired George Ernst von Blumenauer of Enid, and the Oklahoma City firm Layton, Hicks, and Forsythe to design the building, in the Art Deco style.</p><br>
<p>In 1943, Mr. Garrison Munger, Sr. purchased the building. It remained in his family&#39;s ownership until 1981. It is currently owned by Tower Investment Company and Oklahoma partnership. The building is the tallest in Enid at 14 stories tall. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Broadway Tower currently houses the East Village Lounge: Cigars and Jazz, a dentist office and hotel rooms under construction.</p><br>
<p>After a fire destroyed the original Garfield County Courthouse, the Broadway Tower became a temporary courthouse location from 1932-1936.</p><br>
<p>The Spenser Mountains is a topographic landform in the northern South Island of New Zealand. Located at the southern end of the Nelson Lakes National Park and north of the Lewis Pass they form a natural border between the Canterbury and Tasman regions. Several peaks are named after characters in Edmund Spenser’s allegorical poem, The Faerie Queene. Many of the early explorers were evidently literate men. For example, Frederick Weld  named Lake Tennyson; William Travers  named the Spensers and Faerie Queene; Julius Haast named Mt Una.</p><br>
<p>Within the range prominent peaks include Mount Una and Mount Humboldt. The Spenser Mountains are the northern limit of the glaciers within the Southern Alps.</p><br>
<p>Much of the forest cover is beech/podocarp with understory of a variety of ferns and shrubs; Crown Fern, Blechnum discolor is one of the dominant understory ferns.</p><br>
<p>The Church of San Pedro el Real , also known as San Pedro el Viejo is a small medieval church in central Madrid, Spain.</p><br>
<p>The initial structure was built in the 14th century, but extensive renovations were performed, and a new facade and portals added in the 17th and 19th centuries. It may have begun as Benedictine monastery, although the Bell-tower has Mudéjar qualities, and resembles a minaret; however, present tower seems to have been worked on in the 14th century when Madrid was firmly in Castilian hands. It was originally built by King Alfonso XI to celebrate his victory in the Battle of Algeciras in 1344.</p><br>
<p>The church contains the tombs of Kings Alfonso I of Asturias and Ramiro II of León. San Pedro also contains the statue of Jesus known as Jesús el Pobre, or Jesus the Poor, sculpted by Juan Astorga in the late eighteenth century.</p><br>
<p>The church is located at Calle Nuncio, 14, near the Plaza Mayor.</p><br>
<p>The Conklin House, the Johnson House, and the Kee House in Chandler, Oklahoma are</p><br>
<p>Colonial Revival houses from the pre-statehood era of Oklahoma that are recognized as significant by the "Territorial Homes in Chandler" MPS.</p><br>
<h2>Conklin House</h2><br>
<p>The Conklin House in Chandler, Oklahoma is a Colonial Revival house that was built in 1905. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 as part of multiple property submission for "Territorial Homes of Chandler".</p><br>
<p>It is a 2.5-story house with a large two-story balconied portico with pedimented roof, and a veranda supported by Tuscan order columns. One of the oldest houses in Conklin, it was regarded to be the "most impressive" in Chandler before Oklahoma&#39;s statehood and in early statehood years. It was built for E.L. Conklin, a leader in Chandler active in the Union National Bank of Chandler who also served as agent to the Sac and Fox Indians.</p><br>
<h2>Johnson House</h2><br>
<p>The Johnson House is a two-story white clapboard house, also with a pedimented two-tier portico. The columns supporting the pediment are Ionic order. It also has a veranda around two sides of the house, supported by five single-story Tuscan order columns.</p><br>
<h2>Kee House</h2><br>
<p>The Kee House was built in 1898. It has a two-story balconied porch and stained glass windows. It has polychromatic walls, including red brick on the first floor level and fish scale pattern wood shingles on the second. It was originally the home of United States Marshall Kee, then William Tilghman, and later A.E. Patrick, J.W. Adams, and P.D. Erwin.</p><br>
<p>Hacienda Santa Rita is located in the municipality of Guánica, Puerto Rico. It is also known as Casa Madre y Noviciado de las Hermanas Dominicas de Patima and was built in 1800 by Don Mariano Quinonez.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>It consists of buildings of a former sugar plantation, "Hacienda Desideria", including a main house and slave quarters.</p><br>
<p>During the Spanish–American War in 1898 the building was used by the Spanish military and then by the Americans. Generals Guy Vernor Henry and A. Garreston stayed at the house.</p><br>
<p>From 1953 on it was used by, and from 1962 owned by, the Dominican Order of Our Lady of Fatima. The main house has been used as a convent and novice house.</p><br>
<p>Mercado de las Carnes , also known as La Plaza de los Perros , but formally, Plaza Juan Ponce de León&#39; , was the first building in Puerto Rico to mix social and architectural elements via the pedestrian mall concept. The historic Art Deco architecture structure is located in Ponce, Puerto Rico, and dates from 1926. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The Plaza was rebuilt in 1992, under the administration of Mayor Churumba. It is located in the alley connecting Mayor and Leon streets, in the block between Estrella and Guadalupe streets. The Plaza and the alley are one and the same.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Ponces Plaza de los Perros (English: Plaza of the Dogs), receives its name from the packs of stray dogs that gathered there to feed on the discarded meat scraps. A product of the rapid urban growth experienced in the city during the early 20th century, the Plaza was built in 1926 to relieve the overcrowded farmers market ("Plaza del Mercado") and provide an adequate market place for perishable meat products.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>Located across the street from the old Plaza del Mercado (Farmers Market) the Plaza de los Perros serves as an urbanistic and commercial compliment to the market place. Occupying a long, narrow lot, previously belonging to two back-to-back structures, the meat market connects two of Ponces busiest commercial streets, Mayor and Leon, providing mid-block circulation to the main market by means of the pedestrian mall concept so popular today. Of significance is the adaptation of such innovative concepts to traditional social and architectural elements (the farmers&#39; market and Moorish detailing), representing the contemporary modernistic trends in architecture. The double-function of such a traditional space was an innovation in Ponce and in Puerto Rico as a whole.</p><br>
<p>Of great importance is that the buildings design bears the signature of Rafael Carmoega, one of the most established Puerto Rican architects of the 20th century. A graduate of the Cornell University School of Architecture and subsequent director of the Architectural division of Puerto Ricos Department of the Interior, Carmoega also designed the Capitol Building, the University of Puerto Rico Main Campus at Rio Piedras, the School of Tropical Medicine, and the Mayaguez City Hall, all listed on the National Register, in addition to other significant buildings. In his interest to preserve Hispanic traditions in the wake of the recent change of sovereignty from Spain to the United States, Carmoega utilized the Spanish Baroque and Neo-Mudejar vocabularies in his designs, emphasizing the use of glazed, mosaic tiles in many buildings. The Plaza de los Perros is a fine example of this latter style, incorporating glazed mosaics, horseshoe arches, and galleries in a mosque-like space for commercial usage.</p><br>
<h2>Physical appearance</h2><br>
<h3>Overall</h3><br>
<p>The old "Mercado de las Carnes", or Meat Market, occupies a narrow through-lot connecting Mayor and Leon streets at the center of the block between Estrella and Guadalupe streets. In plan, the concrete, wood, and sheet-metal structure consists of an elongated quadrangle created by galleries opening onto an attenuated interior court. The neo-mudejar and Art Deco decorative facades appear to be independent of the actual utilitarian structure inside, as they shift slightly in opposite direction off the central court axis to accommodate the mall.</p><br>
<h3>Façade</h3><br>
<p>The east and west facades are identical, each consisting of a rectangular mass of approximately 20 ft in height and 30 in width, which defines the major façade element. This rectangle is divided into five ground-storey bays: a series of three central bays flanked by slightly narrower wall areas. The bays are defined by a series of four vertical buttress-like piers which extend slightly above the ridge of the building.</p><br>
<h3>Entryways</h3><br>
<p>The three central bays form the frontispiece of the facade, each of similar dimensions and created as an access to the interior court. Each bay contains a horseshoe arch approximately one-half the height of the facade and almost the full width of the bay. Above each arch, a decorative spandrel panel contains glazed mosaic tiles in intricate Moorish patterns. Within each bay, a horizontal band stretching between the concrete piers separates the spandrel area from the parapet above. The parapet is completely solid above the central bay, whereas the parapets of the flanking bays are articulated with open, semi-circular concrete forms. At this level, the concrete piers are decorated with vertical rectangular panels of glazed multi-colored mosaic tiles.</p><br>
<p>The bays flanking the frontispiece are solid and without articulation, although the southern bay has been punctured at ground level by wide, wooden doors as access to a street-side refreshments stand. A concrete cantilever shades the entrance and a vertical sign above announces the name of each business.</p><br>
<h3>Interior</h3><br>
<p>At the interior court, a series of simplified, square, Tuscan columns creates a gallery enclosing individual market areas within each bay. The stoa-like galleries are sheltered by a wood and sheet-metal roof pitched inward toward the court. Additional continuous wood and sheet-metal eaves, stemming from the colonnade and suspended by link-chains from the architrave provide shelter within the court for those doing their shopping.</p><br>
<h3>Alterations</h3><br>
<p>This property has remained basically unaltered all elements described contribute to the structures value. The only alteration is the refreshments stands sign and the covering of the upper part of the stand&#39;s arch which are non-contributing elements.</p><br>
<p>The Manor Farmhouse in Meare, Somerset, England, was built in the 14th century as the summer residence of the Abbots from Glastonbury Abbey and is now a farmhouse. Along with its outbuildings the farmhouse has been designated as a Grade I listed building.</p><br>
<p>A building on the site in the late 13th century had a hall and south chamber, however little remains from the fabric of this building and the current structure was erected in the 14th. A chapel and cellar were included for the monks by Adam of Sodbury who was the abbot from 1323 to 1334. Richard Beere added further rooms in the early 16th century. The surrounding land provided an orchard and herb garden. There were four fish ponds. The nearby Abbot&#39;s Fish House was built around the same time as the house. The fish ponds surrounding the Fish House were recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 when they were tended by ten fishermen. The fishponds, which were connected with drains and gullies were up to 30 m long and 5 m wide. These were connected to the Meare Pool and the River Brue. At one point 5,000 eels were caught each year. Pike, Bream and "white fish" were also caught.</p><br>
<p>The two-storey building has a porch over the moulded doorway. The main hall was east of the entrance doorway and porch. The wing to the rear contains a large room on the upper floor, which contains a large stone fireplace with a stone hood. A stone figure in robes and mitre appears above the porch which is believed to represent Abbot Richard Whiting, who presided over Glastonbury at the time of the Dissolution of the Monasteries under King Henry VIII of England, and was imprisoned in the Tower of London and executed on Glastonbury Tor in 1539. He is considered a martyr by the Roman Catholic Church, which beatified him on 13 May 1895.</p><br>
<p>Mells Manor at Mells, Somerset, England, was built in the 16th century for Edward Horner, altered in the 17th century, partially demolished around 1780, and restored by Sir Edwin Lutyens in the 20th century. The house, along with the garden walls, has been designated as a Grade I listed building, and is closely associated with the adjacent Church of St Andrew. The gardens are listed, Grade I, on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of special historic interest in England.</p><br>
<p>The building was originally much more extensive than its current appearance, including a north wing, with two thirds of the building being demolished around 1780. It was then used as a farmhouse and subsequently as a school for boys undertaking holy orders.</p><br>
<p>Mells manor was purportedly procured by Jack Horner upon discovering the deed in a pie given to him to carry to London by Richard Whiting, the last Abbot of Glastonbury. This act is supposedly referenced in the popular nursery rhyme Little Jack Horner. An alternative and more likely explanation is that the manor was bought from the King&#39;s Commissioners in 1543.</p><br>
<p>The house was visited by Charles I and his troops in 1644.</p><br>
<p>In 1724, Thomas Strangways Horner moved out of the manor house in the village and commissioned Nathaniel Ireson to build Park House within Mells Park.</p><br>
<p>The park is bordered by the Mells River.</p><br>
<p>The house is a residence of the Earl of Oxford and Asquith.</p><br>
<p>The John Hendricks House and Dutch Barn is located along Old Post Road in Staatsburg, New York. It is a late-18th-century stone house that once served as an inn along the Albany Post Road.</p><br>
<p>A Dutch barn on the property also dates to that era. It underwent a number of renovations and additions in the Picturesque mode in the 19th century. The house was restored to its original appearance in the late 20th century. In 1984 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Property</h2><br>
<p>The two buildings are located near the west boundary of a wedge-shaped 30-acre (12 ha) lot between Old Post Road, US 9 and Hughes Avenue. Its west (front) facade is opposite Margaret Lewis Norrie State Park. The barn is located just to its southeast. The only other building on the property is a house on Hughes. It is modern and considered non-contributing.</p><br>
<p>The house itself is built into a gentle slope. It is a rectangular building, five bays wide by two stories tall. The west and south sides (visible from the road) are faced in stucco; the other two retain their original fieldstone. It is topped with a gabled roof from which four brick chimneys rise.</p><br>
<p>The west elevation features a two-story porch supported by six pillars. Its upper story has a balustrade. All doors and windows have simple wood trim. On the east is a partially enclosed one-story frame wing. Its southern three bays have a porch with a miter-arched frieze and square columns.</p><br>
<p>Inside the house has many original finishings, including its flooring and Federal mantels. The center-hall floor plan remains intact, with some features suggesting early use as an inn. The main room is divided by what appears to be a bar, and the north room contains some aspects of the original beehive oven.</p><br>
<p>To the southeast of the house is the Dutch barn. It retains its original 18th-century form but has had some later additions, such as cross-gabling, a hip-roofed cupola, board-and-batten siding and quatrefoil windows. Small oculi are located in the gable apexes, and a similarly sided and fenestrated frame wing extends from the southwest corner.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Hendricks bought the property and built the house around 1785, when the Pawling Patent was first subdivided. Local tradition holds that it was an inn for travelers using the Albany Post Road, and the layout of the first floor provides some support for this.</p><br>
<p>On Hendricks&#39; death in 1815, the property was acquired by George Lamoree, a major speculator in land in the area during the early 19th century. At the time it was over 90 acres (36 ha). His heirs sold the property to William Dinsmore in 1884. He added it to his large estate and remodeled the barn to match those at his main farm complex further north.</p><br>
<p>By the mid-20th century the house had become vacant. A succession of owners in the century&#39;s later decades restored it to its original appearance.</p><br>
<p>St. Lukes Episcopal Church is an historic Carpenter Gothic–style Episcopal church building located at 219 Chunns Cove Road, in the Chunns Cove neighborhood of Asheville, North Carolina. Built in 1894 at a cost of $728, St. Lukes was designed by E. J. Armstrong, a member of the congregation. The first service was held on September 17, 1894.</p><br>
<p>On September 30, 1997, St, Luke&#39;s was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1847, the Reverend Jarvis Buxton came to Asheville, then a community of about 800 people, to become the Rector of Trinity Church. A missionary-minded priest, the Rev. Buxton was responsible for beginning the work of the Episcopal Church in Chunns Cove, Beaverdam, West Asheville and Waynesville. St. Luke′s Episcopal Church was designed by E. J. Armstrong, a member of the congregation, and built in 1894, at a cost of $728. The first service was held on September 17, 1894.</p><br>
<p>In the 1940s, the Reverend James B. Sill obtained two (or possibly three) stained–glass panels, or ″lights,″ that once been installed in St. Chrysostoms Chapel in New York City. (The chapel, built and maintained by New York Citys Trinity Chapel, had been demolished in 1929 because it had sustained structural damage from a nearby subway.) The distinctive style of the stained glass leads this researcher to conclude that the glass was designed and manufactured in the late 19th century by Heaton, Butler and Bayne of London. One of the lights is installed in St. Luke&#39;s but another is broken—perhaps during the journey to western North Carolina—and is being stored at the church.</p><br>
<p>From an item published in the Asheville Citizen, dated January 11, 1942:</p><br>
<p>"WINDOW PRESENTED ST. LUKES—The Rev. J. B. Sill, rector of St. Lukes Episcopal church, Chunns cove, inspects the stained glass window which was presented the church by the vestry of Trinity church, New York city, in memory of his father, the Rev. Thomas Henry Sill. The window, which was taken from St. Chrysostams chapel, owned by Trinity, shows Christ blessing little children. The elder Sill was vicar of St. Chrysostam&#39;s for many years before it was torn down. The window will be dedicated at 3 p. m. today by Bishop R. E. Gribbin."</p><br>
<p>The original deed for the land was professionally restored by licensed archivists in 2013, and that document now hangs in the climate-controlled parish house. A framed color facsimile hangs in the nave of the church, because that building is subject to greater temperature fluctuations.</p><br>
<h2>Present Day</h2><br>
<p>St. Luke&#39;s is a small but active parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Western North Carolina. The Rev. Patty Mouer has been the rector since December 4, 2004.</p><br>
<p>Holy Eucharist services are held at 8:00 am and 10:30 am; studies and classes begin at 9:00 am; and a coffee hour follows the later Sunday service. A healing service is held on Wednesdays at 12:15 pm. Special services for church holy days are also held throughout the year, most notably during Lent, the Easter Season, the Christmas Season and others, as noted on the church website and its Facebook page. The parish house is located just north of the church, where adult education classes and childrens bible studies are held; the rectors offices are also there.</p><br>
<p>In keeping with the Episcopal Diocese of Western North Carolina′s commitment to social justice, St. Luke′s parishioners serve the larger community in many ways. (Note: The Episcopal Diocese of Western North Carolina has historically practiced a higher churchmanship than most dioceses in the Fourth Province, and especially the other two dioceses in the state.) St. Luke′s allows the use of its parish-house basement for more than one dozen 12-Step recovery meetings per week, though these meetings are strictly independent and have no affiliation with or endorsement from the church.</p><br>
<h3>Stewardship</h3><br>
<p>One boundary of the church property lies along Ross Creek, a tributary to the French Broad River. Since the late 2000s, parishioners have been removing invasive plants (mainly kudzu) from the creek′s banks. In 2012, the church partnered with RiverLink to install native plants that help filter pollutants from rainwater as it runs off roofs and roadways on its way to Ross Creek. An info kiosk, installed by a local Scout troop, describes the project and recognizes St. Luke′s involvement of other eco-partnerships.</p><br>
<p>Today, the ongoing work to keep back the kudzu, its environmentally friendly plantings, and low-impact artificial lighting (despite significant development in East Asheville over the last few decades) has earned St. Luke′s the honor of being certified in the &#39;s F.A.I.T.H. program (Fellowship Actions Impacting The Habitat). The NCWF ″recognizes and certifies places of worship of all denominations that meet the requirements for a wildlife–friendly habitat. The certification celebrates the beauty and importance of nature and focuses on shared responsibility of wildlife stewardship.″ Black bears and wild turkeys are sometimes seen along the western boundary, heading to or from Ross Creek.</p><br>
<h2>Cemetery and labyrinth</h2><br>
<p>A consecrated cemetery and the Garden of the Resurrection, a cremains burial area, lie just west of the church, near the western property boundary. Simple carved gravestones, cut from local stone, date from the mid–19th century to the present day.</p><br>
<p>A low-profile labyrinth, outlined in smooth river stones, was installed on the grounds in 2014.</p><br>
<p>Congregation Magen David Synagogue is a historic Sephardic Syrian-Jewish synagogue located in the Bensonhurst neighborhood of Brooklyn, Kings County, New York. Erected in 1920-1921, the synagogue was at its height of popularity during the 1940s, 1950s, and early 1960s. The synagogue is still in continual use for daily and Shabbat prayers. It is a two-story, Romanesque Revival style brick building on a raised basement. It features a variety of brick designs and stone details, round arched windows, and a red terra cotta clad tile roof.</p><br>
<p>In 2001, the building was declared a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. By 2004, the building was certified and listed with the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Welty&#39;s General Store was first established in a log cabin just outside the town of Dubois, Wyoming in 1889 by Frank A. Welty. The store was placed next to the homestead cabin of his father, Dr. Francis Welty. In 1897 George Hays and Huey Yeomans built a general store in Dubois. Welty purchased the store in 1898 and moved his operation into town, dismantling the first store and appending it to the new store. Both buildings were of log construction with an earth roof.</p><br>
<p>An addition was built in 1915 out to the street. In 1922 more frontage was added, with a log portico at the entrance. Further additions in the 1950s expanded the wings to provide more sales space. A steeply-pitched log-framed roof was added to the front at this time, while the sod-roofed portions remained.</p><br>
<p>Weltys was a general mercantile store, providing a broad range of merchandise to an isolated community. It also provided other services, functioning as the post office and Dr. Weltys medical office until Dr. Weltys death in 1919. Weltys was a John Deere dealer and stocked farm and ranch supplies. After his passing, the store was operated by his son, Frank A. Welty Jr.</p><br>
<p>The store was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. It is operated by the founder&#39;s grandson, Frank A. Welty III.</p><br>
<p>The Vicarage built in 1889 is an historic house located at 150 Circle Drive, in DeFuniak Springs, Florida in the United States. Also known as McLendon House, it is located next to St. Agatha&#39;s Episcopal Church. It is a contributing property in the DeFuniak Springs Historic District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 28, 1992.</p><br>
<p>Built in 1889, it was one of two identical frame Florida vernacular houses which stood side by side on Circle Drive. Its twin to the left has since been moved to a different location on the drive. It went through a succession of private owners, some of whom used it as a boarding house for visitors to the DeFuniak Springs Chautauqua. St. Agatha&#39;s Episcopal Church, which had built in 1896 to its right, bought it for use as a vicarage in 1977 using funds given by Violet Horn McLendon of Marianna. The second floor serves as the private quarters of the vicar and family, while the first floor rooms and kitchen are shared with the congregation which use them as its parish hall.</p><br>
<p>The Hume School is an 1891 former school building in the Arlington Ridge neighborhood in Arlington County, Virginia. It is the oldest school building in Arlington County It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 and is also a designated Arlington County Landmark. It has been the home of the Arlington Historical Society since 1960. The Hume School is currently operated as the Arlington Historical Museum by the Arlington Historical Society. It has over 4000 artifact representing all of the history of Arlington, VA. The museum is open on Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.</p><br>
<h2>The building</h2><br>
<p>The Queen Anne-style building was designed by B. Stanley Simmons, a Washington architect. Its design reflects the changing thoughts around the importance of education and larger schools. Frank Hume, a Confederate veteran of the Civil War and local civic leader, sold his property to the county for $250 and donated some additional land for the playground. It was an active public school from 1891 until it closed in 1958. A community campaign ended with the building being deeded to the Arlington Historical Society in 1960. They later purchased additional property behind the building to ensure views toward Washington and prevent development.</p><br>
<h2>Arlington Historical Society</h2><br>
<p>The Arlington Historical Society was founded in September 1956. It moved into the Hume school in 1960 and began an extensive restoration before opening the building as a museum in the early 1960s. The AHS continues as a non-profit organization supporting research, preservation, and education efforts related to the local history of Arlington County, Virginia. The Ball-Sellers House was donated to the Arlington Historical Society in 1975 for preservation and interpretation.</p><br>
<p>On Feb 15th, 2011, Arlington County announced that the 2011-2012 vehicle decal sticker will feature a photo of the Hume School taken by Wakefield High School junior Maya Giacobbe as part of a contest</p><br>
<p>The Old Deanery of Wells Cathedral in Wells, Somerset, England, dates from the 12th century. Along with the gatehouse and boundary walls has been designated as a Grade I listed building.</p><br>
<p>The 12th-century building, on Cathedral Green was largely rebuilt in the late 15th century by Dean Gunthorpe. It was further remodelled and the south range refenestrated by Dean Bathurst in the late 17th century. The two storey south front of the building looking out over the green to the cathedral has six bays which contain 17th century sash windows.</p><br>
<p>It is no longer the home of the Dean and now serves as offices for the Diocese of Bath and Wells and provides a resource centre for Christian Education for the diocese. Extensive rebuilding work since 2000 has included the insertion of an oak staircase and addition of a first floor above the education department.</p><br>
<p>William Turner when he was dean between 1551 and 1568, established a herb garden. The garden was recreated between 2003 and 2010.</p><br>
<p>St John&#39;s Priory in Wells, Somerset, England, from the 14th century. Along with its boundary walls and railings it has been designated as a Grade I listed building.</p><br>
<p>The initial development was as a hospital for poor, aged and sick men by 1210. The original foundation was by Jocelin of Wells, after his consecration in 1204, along with his brother Hugh of Wells.</p><br>
<p>It was made into a priory in 1350 providing accommodation for a prior, chaplain and ten brothers, which lasted until the dissolution of the monasteries when it had an income of £40 per year. It then became crown property until 1575 when it was given to Sir Christopher Hatton and later became the property of Baron Brooke.</p><br>
<p>Land was donated to St John&#39;s in both 1667 and 1716.</p><br>
<p>The former priory building may also have been used as a guest house for visitors to Wells Cathedral and the Bishop&#39;s Palace. There was a cemetery associated with the building. The history of the buildings is set out in 33 deeds including one from 1738 which is displayed in the dining room.</p><br>
<p>The land surrounding the priory was disturbed and remaining archaeological remains destroyed around 1850 when new roads and a school were built on the site. This also involved demolition of some of the building. In the 1860s the building was owned by the Lovell family.</p><br>
<p>The two-storey stone building was an open hall but a first floor corridor and bedrooms have been added. The roof is supported by cruck trusses and purlins. Dendochronology has shown the wood used for the roof was felled in the winter of 1313 to 1314.</p><br>
<p>At 1,132 m sea level the Großer Riedelstein is the highest point on the Kaitersberg mountain ridge in the Bavarian Forest in southern Germany. Its rocky summit is decorated by a stone monument in memory of the poet, Maximilian Schmidt, known as "Forest Schmidt" .</p><br>
<p>In summer the Großer Riedelstein is a favourite hiking destination with its beautiful panoramic views in all directions. In the winter a ski lift brings skiers from the Ecker Saddle to just beneath the summit. Several hiking trails lead to the top, including those from Thalersdorf, Arnbruck and Arrach. In addition the E6 European long-distance trail passes over the Großer Riedelstein en route from Bad Kötzting to the Großen Arber.</p><br>
<p>Not far from the summit there is an important climbing area, the so-called Rauchröhren. To the south is the Kleiner Riedelstein, 1,042 m.</p><br>

<p>Cohasset is a house in northeastern Hampton County, South Carolina about 5 mi north of Hampton, South Carolina near the unincorporated community of Crocketville. It was built about 1873. It is north of USA Route 601. It was named to the National Register of Historic Places on July 24, 1986.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built William James Gooding in northern Beaufort District prior to the formation of Hampton County. Gooding was a farmer and also held a number of political offices including a representative from Beaufort District to the South Carolina General Assembly, sheriff of Beaufort District, treasurer of Beaufort County, and treasurer of Hampton County. In 1879, he had 100 acre under cultivation out of 950 acre. He grew cotton, corn, sweet potatoes, oats, rice, and sugar cane. Tenants also cultivated some of his land.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>It is a two-story weatherboarded Carolina I-house with a side-gabled roof. It was built from pine grown on the farm and sawed in Gooding&#39;s sawmill. The house has a raised basement with brick foundation in common bond with Flemish bond stenciling. It has two interior, corbeled chimneys. A one-story, shed roof porch extends across the front facade. The porch has six solid posts and a railing with turned balusters.</p><br>
<p>The front elevation has five bays with the center door with sidelights and two six over six lights on each side. The second story has five six over six lights. The center window has sidelights. There are louvered shutters on the windows of the first and second floors. The raised basement has a center door with sidelights and four over four lights aligned with those on the main level. These windows have batten shutters.</p><br>
<p>There is a one-story gable-roofed appendage perpendicular to the left elevation at the basement level that serves as the kitchen. On the rear elevation at the main level, there is a one-story, shed roof appendage with a center porch flanked by enclosed rooms.</p><br>
<p>The interior plan is one room deep, two rooms wide characteristic of an I-house. The two rooms on the first floor are on either side of a central hall. There are two small service rooms behind the main rooms. The basement has brick paver flooring and low ceilings. The two rooms on this level are the dining room and a quilting room. They have plain mantels and horizontal flushboard paneling. The second floor has a small room opposite the central window.</p><br>
<p>The house is an excellent example of a 19th-century Carolina I-house. There is also a picture of a surviving tenant house.</p><br>
<p>The Mittagstein is a 1,034 m mountain peak which rises in the middle of the Kaitersberg in the Bavarian Forest in southern Germany.</p><br>
<p>On its forested summit is a chapel built in memory of those who have fallen in war. There is also a rocky viewpoint with views into the Zeller Valley and across to the Großer Riedelstein. Some distance below the highest point is the Kötztinger Hütte belonging to the Bavarian Forest Society (Bayerischer Wald-Verein), which is open during summer months and offers overnight accommodation.</p><br>
<p>Numerous hiking trails climb the Mittagstein, for example those from Hohenwarth, Bad Kötzting, Bärndorf and Steinbühl. A favourite of hikers is the walk along the length of the Kaitersberg ridge from Bad Kötzting following E6 European long distance path which crosses the Kreuzfelsen, the Mittagstein, the Rauchröhren and the Großer Riedelstein to Ecker Saddle.</p><br>
<p></revision></p><br>
<p>The Kreuzfelsen is a 999 m high rock outcrop, that forms the western cornerstone of the Kaitersberg mountain ridge in the Bavarian Forest in southern Germany. From the giant cross on its summit the view sweeps down into the Zeller Valley and over to the town of Bad Kötzting and also far over the western part of the Bavarian Forest.</p><br>
<p>Below the Kreuzfelsen is "Highwayman Heigls Cave" (Räuber-Heigls-Höhle), the hideout of a 19th-century robber. Numerous trails lead up to the summit cross, the most well-trodden being the E6 European long distance path which runs from Kötzting past the nearby Kötztinger Hütte cafe and the Riedlstein to the Großer Arber.</p><br>
<p>On the Kreuzfelsen there is an extensive range of worthwhile sport climbing routes, that are well-secured and can be negotiated using top roping.</p><br>
<p>The Benner House is located on Mill Street in the village of Rhinebeck, New York, United States, just off USA Route 9. It was built by a German immigrant, Johannes Benner, in the 1730s. It is the oldest house in the Village of Rhinebeck.</p><br>
<p>It is a rare example of a one-room-plan stone house in the Hudson Valley built to German traditions, rather than Dutch. It is the sole house with that floor plan remaining in Rhinebeck. In 1987 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>It is located at the oblique intersection of Mill Road and Route 9 on the southern fringe of the village. The northern (rear) facade is oriented diagonally to Mill Street, making it prominently visible to southbound traffic leaving Rhinebeck on the highway. Its lot is mostly wooded, with an open area to allow a view of the road and the valley from the front. A modern frame garage is at the northwest corner of the lot. It was built in 1938. It is not considered a contributing resource to the Register listing.</p><br>
<p>It is a -story rectangular home with a gabled roof. An asymmetrically placed Dutch door is located in the south (front) facade, with flared stone lintels like the windows nearby. It is behind a shed-roofed porch with a shallow-arched frieze and square columns that spans the entire facade. On the north is a gabled frame wing with a more moderately pitched roof, exposing the two attic windows above it on the main block.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Johannes Benner/Bender emigrated to the Hudson Valley from Upper Bavaria with his parents and brother sometime in the early 18th century. Local tradition holds that he, or a member of his family, built the house around 1740, although no records have been found confirming this. Johannes Benner leased the land from Henry Beekman. It is further believed that the first meetings of the local Methodist church were held in the house half a century later, in 1791–92. The earliest deed known shows the house owned by an S.S. Myers in 1797.</p><br>
<p>By 1850, locally prominent landowners the Livingston family owned the house, using it as a support building for their nearby Grasmere estate. At one time it was believed to be a writing school. In 1874, Ann O Brien purchased the house. She died in 1900, and the property passed to her son, Civil War Veteran, Thomas O Brien. In 1946, Thomas O&#39; Brien died. The property then passed to his two daughters, Ann Gregory and Mary Sullivan. It later passed through several other owners into the late 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The October 26, 1929, edition of the Rhinebeck Gazette describes bins found in the top story or garret of the house. These were traditionally used to store grain out of the reach of pilfering Indians. However, there are more practical reasons that local grain was stored in the garret of the house. It was more secure from rodents in the barn and would have been a dryer atmosphere, because even when heat was not required, a fire for cooking was always burning in the fireplace.</p><br>
<p>The Astor Home for Children building, home to Astor Services for Children & Families, is located on Mill Street  in Rhinebeck, New York, United States. It is sponsored by Catholic Charities in the Archdiocese of New York, and provides mental health services to children on an inpatient and outpatient basis.</p><br>
<p>The institution began in 1904 as Holiday Farm in nearby Rhinecliff. In 1914, Vincent Astor hired the New York City architectural firm of Albro & Lindeberg to design the present building for the facility, which bought the land and moved in. Catholic Charities took over ownership upon Astor&#39;s death three decades later. In the mid-20th century, major additions were made to the property, but enough of its original buildings remain for it to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Property</h2><br>
<p>The Astor Home is on an 18.4 acre parcel, bounded on the east by Route 9 and on the south by Landsman Kill. It is gently undulating and mostly wooded. Two of the five buildings and structures on it, the home and a guest cottage, are considered contributing resources to its listing on the National Register.</p><br>
<h3>Main building</h3><br>
<p>A short circular driveway leads from Route 9 to the parking lot, where the main building&#39;s northern entrance facade dominates. It is an H-shaped two-story building with a steeply pitched cross-gabled slate roof. It has many distinctive Jacobean features, such as vertical emphasis via the roof gables from which rise brick chimneys with corbeled chimney pots. There are projecting end wings and classically inspired door and window decoration trimmed in stone. The main entrance is located in a portico with four Corinthian columns supporting a full entablature done in bas-relief.</p><br>
<p>On the rear, two-story wings project from the southeast and southwest corners. The east has a brick and stucco wing with decorative brickwork in a diagonal pattern above the first story. There are two wings on the east, both later additions of brick and concrete. A chapel and another, smaller wing are attached to the corners of one. All the wings on this elevation are considered non-contributing since they were added in the mid-20th century.</p><br>
<p>The buildings interior has been extensively modified over the years to serve the facilitys needs. It retains little of its original floor plan.</p><br>
<h3>Outbuildings</h3><br>
<p>Near the west wing are the two non-contributing buildings on the property, both modern garages. A swimming pool, likewise too new to be contributing, is located to the south of.</p><br>
<p>Several hundred yards to the south of the main building is the other contributing resource, the guest cottage. It is a clapboard-sided frame two-story house on a stone foundation built into a hillside so that only one story is exposed on the north (rear) facade. Its gabled roof has overhanging eaves. A two-tiered porch runs along the entire south facade.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Alice Morton, daughter of former state governor and USA Vice President Levi P. Morton, founded Holiday Farm in 1904 as a home for convalescing children. Ten years later it bought the current property for $1 after another wealthy and prominent part-time resident of the area, Vincent Astor, hired Albro & Lindeberg to design the building. At that point the property consisted of the home, with only its east wing, and the guest cottage, possibly used as a staff residence.</p><br>
<p>At some point later, the facility was renamed the John Jacob Astor Home For Convalescent Children. In 1945, Catholic Charities took over operation of the home. Seven years later, in 1952, they decided to change the focus of the program to children with emotional problems. The two west wings were added in 1954 and 1963 respectively to facilitate this new mission. Vincent Astor died on February 3, 1959.</p><br>
<p>In 1966 the home opened an outpatient facility in Rhinebeck. Eight years later, in 1974, it became one of the first mental health facilities in the country accredited by the Joint Commission, and in 1978 began operating Head Start in Dutchess County. The Astor Learning Center, a private school for children with emotional problems, was opened on the grounds in 1980. In recognition of this expanded programming, the new name was adopted in 2009.</p><br>
<p>Franklin Hall in Goodwell, Oklahoma, USA, was built during 1909-10 by a local contractor that has been used in various ways for housing throughout its history. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007 with alternate name Girls Dormitory/Boys Dormitory.</p><br>
<p>It is a 37 ft by 80 ft concrete building with a moderately sloped hipped asphalt roof, and has no architectural style. It was built as part of seeking the state legislature&#39;s approval for an agricultural high school to be located in Goodwell, along with two church buildings. The school was approved and was named the "Panhandle Agricultural Institute", later renamed to "Panhandle Agriculture and Mechanical College" and eventually, in 1974, to Oklahoma Panhandle State University.</p><br>
<p>Originally the building housed students, faculty, and the president of the school and his family. It became the Girls Dormitory soon, with men housed in tents nearby. In 1914 a second residential building, also named Girls Dormitory and later named Earle Hall, was built and housed the girls plus the president and family. The Franklin Hall building became the Boys&#39; Dormitory and was renamed to Franklin Hall in the mid-1920s. After World War II, it was converted into 12 apartments for married students, and occasionally faculty. Eventually it became housing for honors students. Building code deficiencies led to the building being mostly vacant from 2004 to the time of its NRHP nomination in 2007.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant for its association with higher education. The building is the only building surviving from the time of the school&#39;s founding.</p><br>
<p>Frisco Station in Idabel, Oklahoma is a train station that was built in 1912 by the St. Louis–San Francisco Railway. It replaced an earlier frame structure that had been constructed in 1902. It was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Today it is the headquarters of the Idabel Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The building footprint is 102 feet long by 24 feet wide. The walls are red brick, and the entire building is covered with a clay tile roof. The roof has eyelid dormers on the north and south faces. A notable feature is that the eaves have an unusually wide 8 foot overhang beyond the walls, because of the relatively high rainfall in this part of Oklahoma. It cost $10,000 to construct in 1912, and was built by the E. M. Vanderslip and Company of Oklahoma City.</p><br>
<h2>NRHP listing</h2><br>
<p>At the time the NRHP application was submitted, the station was still owned by the Frisco Railroad, which was using the building as a freight office with a one-man staff. However, the company was already planning to close the office, in which case it would demolish the structure to eliminate future maintenance costs. The Idabel Chamber of Commerce has moved into the building since then.</p><br>
<p>The McCurtain County Historical Society argued to be the center of commercial and social activity for Idabel for 40 years, being the host of four passenger trains daily and also of freight trains, while there were no other common carriers serving Idabel. "Idabel" itself is named for Ida and Belle Purnell, daughters of a railway official.</p><br>
<p>The Prairie County Courthouse of Des Arc, Arkansas is one of two county courthouses in Prairie County, Arkansas. Des Arc is one of two county seats, and De Valls Bluff, the other also has a courthouse. The one in Des Arc is located downtown, at Court Square and 2nd Streets. It is a handsome two story brick building with Georgian and Italian Revival features, designed and built in 1913, after the city&#39;s second county courthouse was destroyed by fire. It was designed by R.P. Morrison and cost $27,500.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>

<p>The Orpheum Theater in St. Louis, Missouri is a Beaux-Arts style theater, built in 1917. It was constructed by local self-made millionaire Louis A. Cella and designed by architect Albert Lansburgh. The $500,000 theater opened on Labor Day, 1917, as a vaudeville house. As vaudeville declined, it was sold to Warner Brothers in 1930, and served as a movie theater until it closed in the 1960s.</p><br>
<p>It was restored as the American Theater in the 1980s and was listed under that name on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. It was later sold to local businessmen Michael and Steve Roberts, who renamed it the Roberts Orpheum Theater. The Roberts brothers sold the theater in 2012, and it closed. The Chicago developer, UrbanStreet Group, plans to restore the theater.</p><br>
<p>The Marriott St. Louis Grand Hotel is located in the Washington Avenue Historic District in Downtown St. Louis, Missouri. The hotel was renovated in 2015.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Hotel Statler St. Louis was designed by George B. Post & Sons and was built in 1917 as part of the Statler Hotels chain. It was the first air-conditioned hotel in the United States. Statler Hotels was bought by Hilton in 1954, soon after the hotel became The Statler Hilton St. Louis. It was sold to Towne Realty Company of Milwaukee in 1966 and renamed The St. Louis Gateway Hotel. The hotel was sold to Denver businessman Victor Sayyah and St. Louis politician Peter J. Webbe in 1981 for $3.2 million. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The hotel closed for a renovation in 1986, but caught fire on February 12, 1987 and never reopened. The fire was determined to have been deliberately set.</p><br>
<p>The hotel sat empty for over a decade, until the city government pushed for its renovation as part of a 1000-room hotel to serve the adjacent America&#39;s Center. Cleanup work began on the hotel in November 1999 at a cost of $5 million. The hotel was then renovated from 2000 to 2002 by Kimberly-Clark and Historic Restoration Inc. at a cost of $265 million. At this time, a new addition was constructed to the east. It was originally to have had 38 floors but was eventually reduced to match the height of the existing hotel. The hotel was renamed the Renaissance St. Louis Grand Hotel.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was foreclosed on by its bondholders in 2009, after it failed to generate enough revenue to cover interest payments. The hotel was sold in 2014 to Haberhill Inc. and was renovated from November 2014 to August 2015 at a cost of $30 million. At the completion of the work, it was renamed the Marriott St. Louis Grand Hotel.</p><br>
<p>The Kings Tableland is a plateau, located in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia. The Tableland is an eroded remnant of a sandstone layer that is approximately 1,000 m AMSL, situated immediately south of Wentworth Falls. The Tableland is the major southerly spur of the main spine of the Blue Mountains Range and forms the beginning of the Southern Escarpment, an unbroken series of tall sandstone cliffs which fringes the Jamison, Megalong, Kanimbla and Hartley Valleys.</p><br>
<p>Situated to the west of the locality of Blue Labyrinth, Kings Tableland extends from Bodington Hill south to McMahons Lookout and further about 4.8 km. The plateau was named by Governor Macquarie after King George III.</p><br>
<h2>Indigenous significance</h2><br>
<p>A portion of the Kings Tablelands has been gazetted as a camping and meeting place of significance for the Aboriginal Gandangara people. The conserved area includes a sandstone rock platform with extensive grinding and other grooves, a shelter with rock art that has been recorded as being the oldest Aboriginal site in the Blue Mountains region and containing unique vertically engraved depictions of kangaroo and bird tracks.</p><br>
<h2>Modern developments</h2><br>
<p>A road from Wentworth Falls runs north and south along the plateau to the current lookout area of McMahons Point. Before the construction of Warragamba Dam the track continued down the escarpment along a track all the way to the Cox&#39;s River area in the Burragorang Valley. There is a track descending from the western edge down into the Jamison Valley, originally leading to the old (now abandoned) sewerage works below the cliffs at Katoomba. The abandoned Queen Victoria Hospital is also located on Kings Tableland.</p><br>

<p>Stoney Creek Independent Presbyterian Chapel of Prince William Parish or Stoney Creek Presbyterian Chapel is a chapel in southeastern Hampton County, South Carolina, United States in the unincorporated community of McPhersonville, South Carolina about 4 mi west of Yemassee. In the USGS Geographic Names Information System, it is called McPhersonville Church. It was built about 1833. It is one block north of Pocotaglio Road  on State Highway 25-286. The chapel is only antebellum structure in McPhersonville. It was named to the National Register of Historic Places on May 22, 2002.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1743, a group of local residents established a non-Anglican Stoney Creek church near the unincorporated community of Pocotaligo on Pocotaglio River. The minister was William Hutson, who was a disciple of George Whitefield. In 1785, this was incorporated as the Independent Presbyterian Chapel of Prince William Parish.</p><br>
<p>Before the Civil War, many rice-planters from Prince William Parish built summer homes on McPhersonville, which was then in Beaufort District. This enabled them to stay at somewhat higher ground during the hotter months of summer with malaria-bearing mosquitoes. In 1832, some planters set aside about 1 acre for the construction of a summer chapel.</p><br>
<p>The chapel was used as hospital and campsite by the Union Army. The parent Stoney Creek Presbyterian Church on the Pocotaligo River was dismantled for use in the construction of a bridge and other structures.</p><br>
<p>After the war, the congregation used the summer chapel in McPhersonville. The congregation eventually diminished and was dissolved in 1967. The chapel was assigned under the custody of the First Presbyterian Church of Beaufort.</p><br>
<p>It was used as a filming location in 1993s Forrest Gump. It stood in for the Four Square Baptist Church where Gump prays with the choir for shrimp.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The chapel is a simple, Greek Revival structure with gabled roof. Its facade faces southwest. It has a rectangular plan with a semi-hexagonal bay in the rear. The rectangular portion of building is about 40 ft long, 24 ft wide. There is a front portico that is about 11 ft long and 24 ft wide with four Doric, solid heart pine columns that rest on wooden plinths. There is a simple pediment on the front facade. There are central arched doors flanked by four over four light windows topped with two light semi-elliptical transoms. There is a round stained glass window above the doorway. The side elevations have five bays with four over four windows with similar semi-elliptical transoms. The rear bay has two smaller four over four windows. All these windows have arched, louvered shutters.</p><br>
<p>An octagonal steeple with arched six light windows on four sides over the portico was added in 1890. The steeple is topped with a wooden finial.</p><br>
<p>The interior has plain plaster walls, its original wooden pews, and wide pine floors. A two-tiered platform is at the rear. A Farrand & Votey pump organ is in front of the rear door. It is screened by a paneled balustrade topped with a privacy curtain hung from turned posts that extend above each end of the balustrade. There is painted communion table in the front. Electrical lights have replaced the original kerosene hanging lamps.</p><br>
<p>A sketch of the floor plan and front and side elevations have been published.</p><br>
<p>The Gov. Thomas Bennett House is a National Register property located at 69 Barre St. in Charleston, South Carolina. It was built in approximately 1825 on land which had once belonged to architect and builder Thomas Bennett, Sr. . It was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Thomas Bennett, Sr.s son, Thomas Bennett, Jr. (1781-1865), took over his fathers lumber and milling business but was also active in state and local politics. He was superintendent of Charleston, South Carolina; a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives (and was its speaker from 1814 to 1818); a member of the South Carolina Senate; and governor of the state. After his term as governor, Thomas Bennett, Jr. undertook the construction of this notable house on land which originally overlooked the rice and saw mills which he owned.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Medora Site  is an archaeological site that is a type site for the prehistoric Plaquemine culture period. The name for the culture is taken from the proximity of Medora to the town of Plaquemine, Louisiana. The site is in West Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana, and was inhabited from approximately 1300 to 1600 CE. It consisted of two mounds separated by a plaza. In the winter of 1939-40 excavation of this site was undertaken by the Louisiana State Archaeological Survey, a joint project of Louisiana State University and the Work Projects Administration. It was directed by Dr. James A. Ford, and George I. Quimby. The excavations of the site were instrumental in defining the characteristics of the Plaquemine period and culture.</p><br>
<h2>The Medora site</h2><br>
<h3>Location</h3><br>
<p>The Medora Site is located in West Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana adjacent to Bayou Bourbeaux (or Bourbeau or Bourbaux) on the flood plain of Manchac Point (also called Australia Point). Manchac Point is a hair-pin bend of the Mississippi River. Bayou Bourbeaux, a point stream which flows away from the river to the west, drains the back slopes of the natural levees that border Manchac Point, and connects with Bayou Gross Tete. The land surrounding the site is wet and subject to annual flooding, being only twenty feet above sea level. The site is part of the Medora Plantation, after which it is named, and had been cultivated for many years prior to the excavation.</p><br>
<h3>Date</h3><br>
<p>It was possible to date the site by geological and archaeological means and obtain an estimate of the period of time in which the site was occupied. According to the Louisiana Geological Survey abandoned river course maps of Harold Norman Fisk, a meander of the Mississippi River began migrating from north to south across the area now occupied by Manchac Point at stage 9 (900 CE). The land of which Manchac Point is composed was not built up behind the meander until the beginning of stage 13 (1300 CE), meaning it was not suitable for habitation until then. And since all artifacts found at the site were from the Plaquemine period and not the succeeding Natchez period which begins in 1700, the dates for occupation are approximately from 1300 to 1600 CE.</p><br>
<h3>Mounds</h3><br>
<p>The main part of the Medora Site is a pyramid and plaza arrangement. Mound A is a platform mound about 125 ft to 130 ft at the base and 10 ft high. The sides sloped inward toward the top, which is flat, except for a conical projection 25 ft in diameter in the northeast corner of the summit that raises the gross elevation to 13 ft. It was probably surmounted by a square or rectangular temple. About 400 ft to the southeast of Mound A was a low mound about 100 ft in diameter and 5 ft high, designated Mound B. Although it has been modified by plowing and flood waters, and is now only about 2 ft high. It was flat-topped, with an irregular oval outline. Its pre-mound surface was found to have a wall-trench structure, probably a house or temple. The floor contained patches of burned clay and fragments of charcoal. At the center there was a rounded fire basin 2 ft in diameter and six inches deep, lined with burned clay. The mounds were composed of gray clay and brown silt, applied basket load at a time. Between Mounds A and B was a plaza about 400 ft long and 200 ft wide. Its west side bordered Bayou Bourbeaux.</p><br>
<h2>Artifacts</h2><br>
<h3>Pottery</h3><br>
<p>About 18,508 pottery sherds were obtained from the Medora Site, classified into more than twenty different pottery types. About 90 per cent were classified as the Addis Plain variety, although Plaquemine Brushed; Manchac Incised; Hardy Incised; Medora Incised; Harrison Bayou Incised; Evangeline Interior Incised; Australia Interior Incised; L&#39;Eau Noire Incised; Dupree Incised; Lulu Linear Punctated; Chevalier Stamped, Coles Creek Incised, Larto Red Filmed, and Pontchartrain Check Stamped were also present.</p><br>
<p>The pottery of the Medora Site was uniform in paste characteristics, soft, clay-tempered, and poorly fired, with the exception of a few shell-tempered sherds. The color generally ranges in grays and tans, with a smooth surface finish that feels soft and chalky to the touch. Although the vast majority of the pottery was plain, about 10 percent had decorative elements applied. The designs were usually simple arrangements of lines, made by incising, engraving, brushing, and punctating, with incising and brushing the most common technique. A few of the type L&#39;Eau Noire Incised have complicated curvilinear elements. The designs are usually placed on the exterior vessel wall, mostly confined to the rim. The most common vessel forms were jars and bowls, with some cups and carinated bowls.</p><br>
<h3>Stone</h3><br>
<p>Although more than 18,000 pottery sherds were found, only seven artifacts of stone were found at the Medora Site. Reddish pebbles of flinty stone were found in Mound A, even though they do not naturally occur in the vicinity of the Medora Site. They must have been brought there, possibly from the Natchez, Mississippi vicinity. Only three projectile points of chipped flint were found at the site, although several objects of polished greenstone and sandstone were found. Two ovate-oblong greenstone celts and a sandstone discoidal were found in the fill of Mound A. A spoon-shaped object of ground and polished greenstone was found in the fill Mound B. A discoidal was probably used in the well-known game of chunkey, which was played by almost all of the historic Indians of the Southeast. It is very likely that chunkey was played ceremonially in the plaza of the Medora Site. A cylindrical earspool of fired clay with flat faces and straight sides was found in Mound A. It was 3 cm in diameter and 1.8 cm thick, with engraved geometric designs composed of a circle and curvilinear elements.</p><br>
<h2>Excavations</h2><br>
<p>The land is part of the Medora Plantation, after which the site is named, and had been cultivated for many years prior to the excavation.In the winter of 1939-40 excavation of this site was undertaken by the Louisiana State Archaeological Survey, a joint project of Louisiana State University and the Work Projects Administration. It was directed by Dr. James A. Ford, and George I. Quimby. The excavations of the site were instrumental in defining the characteristics of the Plaquemine period and culture. Permission to investigate this site was given by the owner of the land, Mr. W. L. Grace, Jr., of Plaquemine, Louisiana.</p><br>
<p>The Randolph County Courthouse is located at the southwest corner of Broadway and North Marr Street in downtown Pocahontas, the county seat of Randolph County, Arkansas. It is a two story brick and concrete Art Deco building, designed by Eugene John Stern and built in 1940 with funding from the Works Progress Administration. The primary construction material is buff-colored brick, but its raised central section is faced in gray concrete, which is also used in banding around the sides of the building. The central section has an arcade created by four tall fluted square pillars with capitals reminiscent of Corinthian design. The building replaced the old courthouse, an 1870s Italianate building that now houses other civic offices.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>West Point Rice Mill is a former rice mill building in Charleston, South Carolina. It is at the City Marina at 17 Lockwood Drive. West Point Mill was one of three large rice mills in Charleston in the 19th century. This building was constructed in 1861 to replace a rice mill that had burned the previous year. It was named to the National Register of Historic Places on January 20, 1995.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1840, Jonathan Lucas III built a four-story brick, steam-powered rice mill on the Ashley River. This mill burned on November 20, 1860.</p><br>
<p>Construction of a new mill began quickly. Although hampered by the Union blockade, the mill was capable of full operation in late 1863. When Charleston was occupied by the Union Army in 1865, the mill was used as a food distribution center. Its neighbour the East Point Rice Mill had been rebuilt in the mid-1840s by engineer James McLaren and the Scottish merchant James Robb. The mill passed to Robb&#39;s sons James Jr and William on his death in 1859.</p><br>
<p>After the Civil War, the mill resumed operations and its production increased. In 1886, it suffered damage from the 1886 Charleston earthquake. Brickwork was damaged and the gables were brought down. At some point before the 1920s, the entire roof was replaced except for the kingposts and trusses.</p><br>
<p>In 1890, the three Charleston mills produced over 97,000 barrels of rice. Competition from western rice growers and a number of hurricanes caused rice production in South Carolina to fall. In 1888, West Point Mill Company purchased a share of Chisolms Mill. In 1894, West Point and Bennetts Mill combined and bought Chisolms Mill, which was closed. Rice production continued to fall. West Point Mill was closed in 1920, and the company began to sell its assets. Around 1925, the mills steam engine was sold to the Henry Ford Museum. The mill&#39;s property was sold to the City of Charleston in 1926.</p><br>
<p>In 1930, the USA Post Office indicated its desire to build a seaplane base for mail service at the site. Although this was never accomplished, it planted the idea of a seaplane terminal at the site.</p><br>
<p>In 1933, the Civil Works Administration started building the Municipal Yacht Basin. Later that year, the building was leased to American Bagging Company as a depot and warehouse for jute imported for its plant on Meeting Street.</p><br>
<p>The City of Charleston continued to explore opportunities for using the building as a seaplane terminal. In the spring of that year, flights from Germany to Charleston were proposed. In early 1937, the Works Progress Administration started work to convert the mill building into the James F. Byrnes air terminal. Pan American World Airways hired the New York firm of Delano and Aldrich to plan for a passenger station. Reconstruction efforts were carried out on the exterior and first two floors.</p><br>
<p>With the start of World War II in Europe, transatlantic service was abandoned. The City competed for a naval seaplane base, but it went to Jacksonville, Florida. The building was occupied by the Charleston District of the Civilian Conservation Corps. In 1941, the building was taken over for the administration of the Charleston Area Inshore Patrol of the Sixth Naval District. In 1946, it became the headquarters for the Sixth Naval District Mine Craft Base. It was used by the USA Navy through the 1950s when it was transferred to the USA Army Corps of Engineers. From 1966 to around 1986, the Trident Chamber of Commerce was located in the building along with some commercial tenants. After that, the building was again vacant.</p><br>
<p>In the fall of 1989, the building suffered from a fire with significant damage to an addition. Then Hurricane Hugo damaged the roof. After repairs, it was leased to the Bennett-Hofford Company. The restoration received one of the Preservation Society of Charleston&#39;s Carolopolis Awards in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The original building is 142 ft long and 42 ft wide with a gabled roof. Although it was the largest of the Charleston rice mills, it lacked the architectural detailing of the other two buildings. The Flemish bond brick building is three and one-half stories above ground level. There are eleven bays along the west or Ashley River elevation. The center three bays project slightly forward. It has a Palladian style with stuccoed Doric pilasters demarking the three bays of the main portico on the west elevation and pilasters on the either side of the last bay of both the east and west elevations. There are pairs of pilasters at the end of the north and south elevations. Two-story wings that are 36 ft long and 26 ft wide extend from the outer bays of the east elevation. The mill had two octagonal smokestacks on its east side.</p><br>
<p>The earthquake bolts installed in after the earthquake in 1886 are still visible on the building and its wings. The damaged gables were patched with roofing materials.</p><br>
<p>The renovations starting in 1937 were relatively minor on the exterior and major for the interior. The smokestacks were removed and a new entry was built on the east elevation. The ground level was rebuilt on a concrete slab. The gable brickwork was restored, but the brickwork was poorly matched. Demilune windows were put in the gables. Oculus windows were put in window openings on third level of the central gable on the west side. Cast-stone sills were installed in the first-floor windows. Only the first and second floors were completed.</p><br>
<p>After 1946, a first floor lobby was constructed in front of the central bays of the west side. This had a balcony on its roof with iron railing. After the 1989 fire, the balcony railing was removed and the west elevation rebuilt with three arched openings.</p><br>
<p>An elevator was installed in the 1960s on the east side entrance.</p><br>
<p>After the damage from Hurricane Hugo, the roof was replaced with standing-seam copper. Four shed dormers were added to the west side of the roof.</p><br>
<p>Additional pictures are available.</p><br>
<p>The Töss Valley  is a valley and a region of the canton of Zürich in Switzerland.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The valley embraces parts of the Zürcher Oberland including the districts of Hinwil, Pfäffikon and Winterthur, in addition to parts of the Zürcher Unterland (lower Töss valley).</p><br>
<p>Usually Tösstal is the name of the upper Töss valley, i.e. its narrow, valley-like area in the southeast of the city of Winterthur. The river Töss rises at Tössstock mountain (el. 1,154 m) flows along the valley including the municipalities and villages of Steg, Lipperschwändi and Wellenau (villages of Fischenthal), Bauma, Juckern, Blitterswil, Saland, Tablat, Wila, Turbenthal, Zell, Rikon, Kollbrunn, and Sennhof near Winterthur. The Tösstal is a popular recreation area and well known for hiking tours in the surrounding mountains as Schnebelhorn and Hulftegg pass, and for skating and biking along Töss.</p><br>
<p>The lower Töss valley includes the widely flattened parts in the west of Winterthur; it compromises the quarters of Winterthur called Töss and Wülflingen, the municipalities Neftenbach, Pfungen, Dättlikon, Embrach, Rorbas, Freienstein and Teufen where the Töss joins the Rhine at Tössegg.</p><br>

<p>The Tchefuncte Site (16ST1) is an archaeological site that is a type site for the prehistoric Tchefuncte culture period. The name is pronounced Che-funk&#39;tuh. It is located in the southeast section of Fontainebleau State Park near Mandeville, St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana.</p><br>
<p>The site was inhabited from 500 BCE to 1 CE during the Tchula period. Major excavations were directed by Clarence Johnson in 1938 and Edwin Doran in 1941.</p><br>
<h2>Site description</h2><br>
<p>The Tchefuncte Site is located in the marsh a half-mile north of Lake Pontchartrain in extreme eastern Louisiana.</p><br>
<p>The Tchefuncte Site originally contained two oval-shaped shell middens, designated Midden A and Midden B. Midden A is about 52 meters long, 15 m wide, and 1.5 m thick. Midden B was approximately 46 m long and 33 m wide, but it is no longer in existence. The middens were composed mainly of shells of the brackish-water clam Rangia cuneata. At the time of the occupation just to the east of the site was a large bayou of fresh water emptying into the lake, and shortly after the occupation it shifted its course to a point about three quarters of a mile farther east.</p><br>
<h2>Excavations</h2><br>
<p>The site was partially destroyed by commercial dredging before 1938. In 1938 construction crews wanted to use shell from the middens for road construction. Before this was done, Clarence Johnson, a historian for the Civilian Conservation Corps directed excavation of the north half of Midden B. The south half had already been destroyed by the commercial dredging. Johnson then turned his material and notes over to the Louisiana Archaeological Survey in Baton Rouge.</p><br>
<p>In 1941 further excavations of Midden B and Midden A were under the direction of Edwin B. Doran, Jr. The results of these investigations were published in 1945 by James A. Ford and George I. Quimby, entitled "The Tchefuncte Culture: An Early Occupation of the Lower Mississippi Valley". This monograph used information from the Tchefuncte Site and other Tchefuncte culture sites (e.g., Little Woods (16OR1), Big Oak Island(16OR6), Copell (16VM102), and the Lafayette Mounds(16SM17)), and demonstrated that the site was occupied primarily by Tchefuncte cultural groups (c. 500 BCE to 1 CE) and helped establish Tchefuncte as the type site for the culture.</p><br>
<p>In 1986, Richard Weinstein and Charles Pearson of Coastal Environments, Inc., and Dave Davis of Tulane University excavated portions of Midden A as part of a field school for the Louisiana Archaeological Society. In 2000, archaeologists from the Regional Archaeology Program mapped the site for a National Register of Historic Places nomination.</p><br>
<h2>Tchefuncte culture</h2><br>
<p>The Tchefuncte culture lasted from 600 BCE until 200 CE. Long-distance trade was much less important than during the preceding Poverty Point culture, but a trade network still existed between Louisiana, western Mississippi, coastal Alabama, eastern Texas, Arkansas, and southeastern Missouri. Their houses were probably temporary circular shelters having a frame of light poles covered with palmetto, thatch, or grass mixed with mud.</p><br>
<h3>Food</h3><br>
<p>The Tchefuncte Culture people were primarily hunter-gatherers who lived in small hamlets in the Lower Mississippi Valley and Gulf Coast region between 1000 BCE and 200 CE. They lived in coastal areas and lowlands, usually near slow-moving streams. Their main food included a variety of seafoods, included clams, alligators, fish, but surprisingly not crabs or crawfish which were likely to have been available and abundant. They also hunted deer, raccoons, and some migratory birds.</p><br>
<h3>Pottery</h3><br>
<p>The Tchefuncte culture were the first people in Louisiana to make large amounts of pottery. Ceramics from the Tchefuncte culture have been found in sites from eastern Texas to eastern Florida, and from coastal Louisiana to southern Arkansas. Pottery was made by coiling clay into shape and then smoothing it to form a container. Many shapes of pots were made, characteristically with "footed" bases. Vessels often featured designs created by pressing fingernails, twigs, or tools into the surface. After decorating, the pots were fired by slow baking. The use of a temper in the pottery to strengthen and keep it from cracking or shrinking unevenly had not yet been developed. The development of ceramic technology led to improved food management, better storage and cooking techniques. Ceramic pots also allowed stewing and other new cooking techniques to be experimented with and developed for the first time.</p><br>
