<p>Pena  is the biggest Šar river in Polog, after the Vardar River. It is the biggest Vardarian tributary from the Šar lakes.</p><br>
<h2>Spring and pouring</h2><br>
<p>The spring of Pena starts in the region of Čabriolica and Borisloica, high on the Šar Mountains, 2,500 metres above sea level. At first, there are two small rivers that merge at the villages of Vešala and Bozovce.</p><br>
<p>Going through the center of Tetovo it hangs up in the Polog valley and near the village of Saraḱino it flows into the Vardar.</p><br>
<h2>Characteristics</h2><br>
<p>The springs of the river are on 2,500 metres above sea level and is 27 km long. In its river-bed pour 12 other rivers. The most important of these include the Karanikolovska River, the Przhina, the Vejčka, the Lesnhička, and the Brodečka.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The Pena River is important for the city of Tetovo not just as a symbol of the city, but as economic object as well. From touristic view the river with the wild mountainous flow and beautiful waterfalls it attracts a lot of tourists. From economic view the river is important because on her are built four hydrocenters, one of which was the first in Macedonia.</p><br>
<p>In 1979, after torrential rains, the river overflowed and caused flooding in Tetovo.</p><br>
<p>The Maples is a historic house located on 108 Montgomery Street in Rhinebeck, New York, United States. It was built in the 1830s in the Greek Revival style. Three decades later its exterior was remodeled, adding some decoration in the Picturesque mode.</p><br>
<p>It is currently used for medical offices, taking advantage of the proximity of Northern Dutchess Hospital across the street. In 1987 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Property</h2><br>
<p>The Maples is located on a grassy 1.7 acre lot, with tall shade trees, on the residential west side of Montgomery Street in the northern portion of the village, just across from the hospital complex. There is a shed to the rear, and a laid stone wall along the front of the property. Both are considered contributing resources to its listing on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>The main house is a two-story, five-bay frame building on a raised fieldstone foundation. The gabled metallic roof has cornice returns and is pierced by four chimneys at the corners. The eastern (front) facade has a full-length flat-roofed veranda with cornice bracketry and scroll-sawn segmentally-arched knee braces. Small Palladian windows are located in the gable apexes on the north and south, with two quarter-round attic windows on either side.</p><br>
<p>On the west is a large two-story wing added later. It has a gabled roof of lower pitch than the main block, and bracketed cornices on the north and south elevations. A small one-story shed-roofed wing projects from the north.</p><br>
<p>The main entrance is centrally located, a recessed and paneled door flanked by fluted pilasters with Doric capitals. It leads to a center hallway where some original trim remains, including a late Federal mantelpiece in the southeast parlor and original woodwork on the windows. A curving stairase, also original, leads up to the second story. Most of the interior has been remodeled into office space and examining rooms.</p><br>
<p>Outside, the shed to the southwest is a flushboard and clapboard-sided one-story frame building. Its gabled roof is trimmed with a scalloped pattern. The stone wall in front with central gate posts is also an original feature of the property.</p><br>
<h2>Some History</h2><br>
<p>There is little in the historical record on the houses builders and original owners. Local tradition has it that a farmhouse stood on the site in the early 19th century when it was sold to a Jeffrey H. Champlin. The houses construction date is established by its cornerstone. In 1850, a map of Rhinebeck shows Champlin still owning the house.</p><br>
<p>In 1867, an H.E. Welcher is listed as the owner. It is believed that he was responsible for the Picturesque exterior renovations, a common trend in Rhinebeck at the time. Among the documented later owners was William Vincent Astor.</p><br>
<p>Additional Information that may be helpful in tracing the ownership of The Maples:</p><br>
<p>The Maples, the former gracious home of William Astor, father of John Jacob Astor, a circa 1833 Greek Revival building listed on National Register is located in Rhinebeck village.</p><br>
<p>"We aren’t sure when Jeffrey Hazard moved from Rhode Island to Dutchess County, New York. His father, Thomas, is said to have moved there sometime after 1878, which would have been before the end of the War when Jeffrey was still a youngster. Some records claim that Jeffrey’s twins, George and Ellis, were born in Rhode Island, which would mean he was still there in 1802. Other records say they were born in Rhinebeck, New York, where they family settled and lived out their days. That suggests he could have moved to New York many years earlier."</p><br>
<p>Jeffrey Hazard was about 23 years old when he married a 17-year-old named Delight Wilbour (or Wilbur, or Wilbor). Again, records are in conflict about whether Delight and her younger sister Prudence were born in Rhode Island or Dutchess County. The year after the marriage, Delight died (1795). It is possible her death was related to childbirth, but we do not know. The following year, Jeffrey married her sister Prudence, who could not have been more than 17 herself at that time.</p><br>
<p>When Jeffrey and Prudence’s first baby was a boy, they named him Hazard. He would father nine children and live to the age of 72. When Hazard was 2½, a baby sister was born. I like to think it was her mother who gave her the name Delight in honor of her lost sister—not Jeffrey naming his daughter after his first wife. Three and a half years later, in November 1802, twins George and Allis joined the family. A brother John was born in 1808.</p><br>
<p>We have the following account from Bob Champlin about Jeffrey:</p><br>
<p>"Jeffrey became a wealthy man in Rhinebeck and was made a Trustee of the Rhinebeck Methodist Church on June 2, 1829…. In the late 1700s, built an estate referred to over the years first as the “Old Homestead” and later as “The Maples.” The property was located along the Old Post Road north of the village and consisted of 135-150 acres plus the mansion. Jeffrey sold it to a Mr. Upton who in turn sold it to Henry Welcher, who sold it to John van Wagner, who sold it to John Woods, who sold it to John Wilbour Champlin (son of Jeffrey). The property then passed from Champlin hands for good when John sold it to Mr. Griffen Hoffman. He sold the land to a Mr. Ingalls, who later sold it back to him. Hoffman then sold the property to William Astor whose son, legendary financier John Jacob Astor, once wrote that as a small boy growing up in Rhinebeck, he had often fantasized being wealthy enough to be able to own this building—and he eventually did.</p><br>
<p>This gives us an idea of the childhood of the five children growing up in the town of Rhinebeck on the east side of the Hudson River. When they reached adulthood Hazard married Mary Ann Plass, and George married Susan Underwood. Both Delight and Allis married men whose last names were Champlin. John married someone named Jane Van Allen, but that is all the information we have about him, other than his buying the family estate back at one point.</p><br>
<p>Additional Notes of Ownership:</p><br>
<p>On Section 22, Portion of Dutchess County, 1891 Map by Watson & Co. shows "The Maples" owned by William Astor, born 1829 and died 1892. At some point, between Wm. Astors death and the death of Lorenzo Deckers death, 1900, the property was sold to Decker.</p><br>

<p>ROVERE, Richard</p><br>
<p>Political journalist Richard Rovere, born in Jersey City, New Jersey (May 5, 1915), also owned The Maples, where he raised his family. In 1944, he was hired by The New Yorker, where he would remain for the rest of his life. Each month, he wrote the column called "Letter from Washington" from his home in Rhinebeck, New York.</p><br>

<p>RHINEBECK, NEW YORK, JUNE 18, 1959</p><br>
<p>The Gazette received an advanced copy of Richard H. Rovere&#39;s latest book, "Senator Joe McCarthy," from Harcourt, Brace and Company, Inc. The book Is both an analytical biography and a memoir, as well as a commentary on the American political scene. Mr Rovere, who was often an eyewitness observer of the events he describes, lives at 108 Montgomery Street in Rhinebeck.</p><br>

<p>Zimmerberg  is a mountain and a region located in the district of Horgen in the canton of Zurich, Switzerland. Its name bases on the Old High German word zimbar in the meaning of lumber.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Zimmerberg mountain is located some 15 km in the southeast of the city of Zürich, between Langnau am Albis in the Sihl Valley (German: Sihltal) and Rüschlikon and Horgen on the Lake Zurich, overlooking Sihl valley, the Albis hills, Lake Zurich and Pfannenstiel. Points of interest include Hüttnersee and, on the neighbouring Albis chain, Albishorn (909 m), Bürglen mountain (914.6 m), the observation tower near Schnabelburg, the Albis Pass, Felsenegg and the extensive woods known as Sihlwald. Sihl river borders Zimmerberg on its southern side, on the northeastern side it is bordered by the Lake Zürich. The area is wooded, but also has extensive fields, some cultivated. Being near the city Zurich, the area is a known recreation area.</p><br>
<p>The area alongside Lake Zürich had been formed as the left moraine of the Ice Age glacier, the bed of which is now the Lake Zürich and the valley of the Sihl river. The soil is mostly a conglomerate of gravel, some of it large, and glacial loess.</p><br>
<h2>Region Zimmerberg and other meanings</h2><br>
<p>The term "Region Zimmerberg" usually refers to the mountain, the area and plateau between Kilchberg–Richterswil–Samstagern on Lake Zürich and partially to the Shil valley. This region includes the municipalities of Hirzel, Horgen, Hütten, Kilchberg, Oberrieden, Richterswil, Rüschlikon, Schönenberg, Thalwil, Wädenswil, and in the Sihl Valley the communities of Adliswil, Langnau am Albis and Sihlbrugg.</p><br>
<p>Zimmerberg is also used for many organizations on the left shore of the Lake Zurich, such as the Regional Hospital Zimmerberg (German: Spital Zimmerberg) in Horgen or Zimmerberg bus line (Zimmerbergbus) provided by the Sihltal Zürich Uetliberg Bahn. The Zimmerberg, a small motor ship of the Zürichsee-Schifffahrtsgesellschaft, is named after the mountain.</p><br>
<p>Zimmerberg Base Tunnel is a railway tunnel divided into two parts: The first is about 10 km long and links Zürich and Thalwil; the second part will bring the length to about 20 km linking Zürich and Zug.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Alamannic grave mounds have been found on the Zimmerberg.</p><br>

<p>John A. Rowland House in the City of Industry, California was built in 1855. It was the home of pioneer John A. Rowland, of the Workman-Rowland party, co-leader of the first American band of settlers to reach Southern California in 1841. John A. Rowland built this home for his second wife, Charlotte M. Gray.</p><br>
<p>The John Rowland House is noteworthy for being the oldest surviving brick structure in Southern California. Built in 1855, the Greek Revival architecture style was used by John Rowland. Victoria, his daughter of the second marriage, inherited the home and in 1879 married Capt. John W. Hudson. The latter&#39;s daughter inherited the property and in 1920 married William Dibble of the Oakwell Rancho in Covina. It is undergoing many improvements in preparation for future reopening (the interior is currently closed due to earthquake damage).</p><br>
<h2>Public access</h2><br>
<p>The John A. Rowland House is maintained by the. Due to ongoing restoration efforts, the house and adjacent property are currently closed to the public. LPVHS occasionally conducts tours for local schools.</p><br>
<p>The name Taposiris Magna denotes the name of a city as well as a temple of the same name at the same location established by the Pharaoh Ptolemy II between 280 and 270 BC. According to Plutarch the temple denotes the tomb of Osiris . After Alexander conquered Egypt in 332 BC and established his city  the city of Taposiris Magna became a center for religious festival of Khoiak. In 1798 after Napoleon landed in Egypt he conducted a survey of the architecture of the city of Alexandria and Taposiris Magna. After the Ottoman Empire took occupation of the city in 1801, the governor Mohammed Ali decided to rebuild the modern city of Alexandria atop the ruins of the old city. In the twentieth century excavations of the site were started under the Italian Governor Evaristo Breccia. Calisthenis states that Alexander the Great visited the city on his way to the Oasis of Siwa, which gives credence to the theory that there must have been a town here in the Hellenistic period.</p><br>
<h2>Role in trade</h2><br>
<p>The city stood on the navigable arm of the now dried out bed of the ancient Lake Mareotis. The size of the lake raises the possibility that the harbor played a role in the trade between Egypt and Libya. Traders from the west could use water transportation to the harbor and then take a caravan route. Similarly trade from Libya could be shipped aboard boats to Taposiris and transported to interior cities of Egypt, The wine produced in this part of Egypt was also famous during this time.</p><br>
<h2>The Temple and the Lighthouse</h2><br>
<p>Atop the Taenia ridge, an outcropping of limestone which separates the sea from Lake Maerotis, stand two monuments that were partly restored in the 1930s. One is a tower that has been used in the reconstruction of the lighthouse of Alexandria and the other is the remains of a temple of Osiris that is also believed to be the last resting place of Cleopatra.</p><br>
<p>In the most scholarly study of the tower yet conducted, it was concluded that "The Tower of Abusir" was definitely not a lighthouse or even a watchtower. It was probably constructed during the Ptolemaic reign after the Pharos was built and was only a funerary monument.</p><br>
<h2>Other structures in the area</h2><br>
<p>Both private and public buildings have been found in the neighborhood along with cisterns and churches. The necropolis shows a variety of burial styles from sarcophagi or pyramids to columns or pilasters. This ancient settlement was occupied from the second century BC to the seventh century AD.</p><br>
<h2>Recent Excavations</h2><br>
<p>Various archaeologists have been working on the site from 1998. In 2010 archaeologists discovered a huge headless granite statue of a Ptolemaic king, and the original gate to a temple dedicated to the god Osiris. According to Dr Zahi Hawass the monumental sculpture, which is a traditional figure of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh wearing collar and kilt, could represent Ptolemy IV, the pharaoh who constructed the Taposiris Magna temple. The team also found limestone foundation stones, which would once have lined the entrance to the temple. One of these bears traces indicating that the entrance was lined with a series of Sphinx statues similar to those of the pharaonic era. Behind the temple, a necropolis was discovered, containing many Greco-Roman style mummies. Early investigations, said Dr Hawass, show that the mummies were buried with their faces turned towards the temple, which means it is likely the temple contained the burial of a significant royal personality, possibly Cleopatra VII.</p><br>
<p>The expedition, started in 2002 as a self-funded expedition by Dominican lawyer Kathleen Martinez, has found 27 tombs, 20 of these are shaped like vaulted sarcophagi, partly underground and partly aboveground. The remaining 7 consist of staircases leading to simple burial chambers. Inside these tombs, the team has found a total of 10 mummies, 2 of them gilded. The discovery of this cemetery indicates that an important person, likely of royal status, could be buried inside the temple. The style of the newly discovered tombs indicates that they were constructed during the Greco-Roman period. Martinez states that the expedition has excavated a temple at Taposiris Magna dedicated to the goddess Isis, and discovered coins depicting the face of Alexander the Great. They have found a number of deep shafts inside the temple, three of which seem to have been used for burials. It is possible that these shafts were the tombs of important people, and the team’s leaders believe that Cleopatra and Mark Antony could have been buried in a deep shaft similar to those already discovered inside the temple.</p><br>
<p>Martinez said that the expedition has so far found a beautiful head of Cleopatra, along with 22 coins bearing her image. The statue and coins show her as a beauty, contradicting the idea recently suggested by an English museum curator that the queen was quite ugly. The finds from Taposiris reflect a charm that could have captured the hearts of Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, and indicate that Cleopatra was in no way unattractive. Moreover, the features of the sculpted head show no sign of African ancestry, contradicting a recently advanced theory. The team has also found many amulets, along with a beautiful headless statue dating to the Ptolemaic Period. Among the most interesting finds is a unique mask depicting a man with a cleft chin. The face bears some similarity to known portraits of Mark Antony himself.</p><br>
<p>A radar survey of the temple of Taposiris Magna, west of Alexandria, Egypt, was completed the previous month as part of the search for the tomb of Cleopatra and Mark Antony. The Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) expedition excavating the temple and its surrounding area was headed by Zahi Hawass, at the time, Secretary General of the SCA, and Kathleen Martinez, a scholar from the Dominican Republic.</p><br>
<p>In 2012, it was discovered that the ruins had also been affected by the Second Battle of El Alamein. The team had found several unexploded bombs as well as charred remains of Italian and New Zealand soldiers within its tunnels. As of 2013, the excavation had been halted but Martinez was later given permission to continue her work on the site.</p><br>
<p>In a 2015 television documentary called "Cleopatra&#39;s Lost Tomb" (shown October, Channel 4 in the UK), Martinez said that she was sure that they were close to finding the tomb there, possibly in a corner of the site where two likely tombs deep underground had been discovered. It was hoped that work to investigate the likely tombs would commence when the official digging season opens in 2016.</p><br>
<p>Lewis Jones House, in Centerville, Indiana, also known as The Stephen and Betty Jones House, is a historic farmhouse in Centerville, Indiana, in the United States. It was built in 1840. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Lewis Jones</h2><br>
<p>Lewis Jones moved to Center Township, Wayne County, Indiana with his parents in 1814. In April 1822, he traveled from Centerville, to Cincinnati, Ohio, to Indianapolis, Indiana making the first mail delivery from Centerville to the state capital. Jones was a farmer, raising fruit, and was a founding member of the Wayne County Horticultural Society, which preceded the Indiana Horticultural Society by three years. Jones died in 1877. His family is buried in Crown Hill Cemetery in Centerville. After Jones&#39; death, the home was owned by the Dunbar family, who were involved in the early lumber business in Centerville.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>Architecturally, the farmhouse is a "good example of an early Center Township farmhouse and of a style that is typical of its time in Wayne County," according to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The house is designed in the Federal architecture style. There are three parts to the house: the main part, the gable roof wing, and the story frame. The main part is 2 1/2 stories high with a "common bond brick building with a five-bay facade and a side gable roof." The gable roof wing connects to the main part from the west side. It was originally built as a kitchen. The story frame extends from the east side of the main part. It was built in 1955 and remodeled in 1974-78.</p><br>
<p>The main entrance to the house is located in the main part, in the middle lower part of the front facade. The main part has the majority of original parts from the 1840 house. It has the original four-panel wood door, a four-light transom, a smooth stone sill plate and a lintel. The windows are double hung and have 12 plates in each section, as well as sills and lintels. It has a chimney on each side of the house. The exterior has a molded cornice and a frieze. The roof is made of slate and it is believed that the roof slate was replaced in 1860. The walls of the main part have a small square attic vent on each side.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the main part has two rooms on the first floor and two on the second. The rooms on the west side are larger than the rooms on the east side. Each of the four rooms has a fireplace. In the western room on the first floor, cupboards flank the fireplace. In the opposite room is a staircase which ascends into a bedroom above.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was submitted for consideration for listing on the National Register of Historic Places by Stephen and Betty Jones, the owners of the house, in 1981.</p><br>
<p>Lincoln School is a historic school building in Huntsville, Alabama. Built in 1929 as part of the Lincoln Mill Village, the school became part of the city school system in the 1950s. The city sold the building to a private school in 2011. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Lincoln School was built in 1929 by the owners of the Lincoln textile mill to serve the children of the mill village. The mill opened in 1900 and was purchased in 1918 by William Lincoln Barrell. The first school in the village was a five-teacher school completed in 1923. As the mill grew, the school was expanded in 1925. By 1929, the first school was overcrowded again, and a larger, three-story structure was completed at a cost of $60,000.</p><br>
<p>Although the mill owned the school, the Madison County Board of Education provided teachers and administration. When it opened, the school had grades 1 through 9, adding grades until the first twelfth grade class graduated in 1935. In the mid-1950s, the mill had closed and the village was annexed into the city limits. High school and middle school students were reassigned to other schools in the city school system, and Lincoln continued to operate as an elementary school until 2010.</p><br>
<p>Despite its lower-class student body, Lincoln Elementary was one of the highest-performing schools in the state, winning state and national recognition. Huntsville City Schools also used Lincoln to train teachers at other schools. The building was sold in 2011, and a private, church-backed school, Lincoln Academy, began operating the following year.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The building is three stories, with a partially sunken first story, and constructed of cast reinforced concrete. The style is similar to that of the main mill buildings, but with Beaux-Arts details. The front and rear of the building have large, multi-pane windows separated by thick concrete columns. Its oversized structural elements led the maintenance staff to say that the building "could probably be rolled end-over-end without hurting it much". The central portion of the façade is raised six feet to add visual emphasis and provide a higher ceiling for the third floor auditorium. The roofline terminates with a stepped parapet. The center section is flanked by two second-floor entry porticos, each supported by four Tuscan columns. Each floor has a central hallway with classrooms on either side, with restrooms on the ends. The third floor has a large auditorium in the middle with original incandescent lights, that has been converted into a library.</p><br>
<p>Lincoln School in Canton, Missouri is a former school for the African-American children of Canton and surrounding areas of Lewis County, Missouri. Built in 1880, it served the community until 1955 when it closed in the aftermath of the landmark Brown v. Board of Education ruling by the USA Supreme Court. The school was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Currently only the exterior is available for public viewing.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The education of African-American children in the Canton area dates to 1866 when the former post office was converted into classrooms. Students in grades 1 through 8 were the primary focus, but some adults also attended. The school only lasted one year, however, as the Canton Board of Education could no longer afford the five dollar monthly rental on the building nor the fifty dollar per month salary of S.S. Sellers, the schools first teacher. A second effort was made in 1868 in a different location and a lower teacher salary. By 1870 the school had taken up residence in Cantons African Methodist Episcopal (AME) church. In an effort to provide at least some education opportunity to former slaves, adults were again allowed to attend provided they pay a dollar per month tuition.</p><br>
<p>The construction of a new school for Cantons white students in 1871 pointed out the glaring contrast in quality of educational facilities and caused resentment in the towns African-American community.</p><br>
<p>Bids were requested soon after the election, the winning bid of $700 by J.S. Eaton being accepted. The finished structure was 42 feet by 24 feet, constructed of red brick walls 13 in thick, set on a foundation of limestone blocks in ashlar. Outside ornamentation was limited, with a wooden floor interior. Due to repeated flooding by the nearby Mississippi River, the wooden floor became unusable and was later replaced with concrete. The school was constructed on land originally set aside as a public park. Indeed, today the surrounding area is known as Martin Park. Lincoln School&#39;s first teacher was M.L. Clay, hired at a salary of $35 per month. In addition to educating children during the day, at his own expense Clay taught night classes for adult African-Americans.</p><br>
<p>Teacher turnover was high throughout the history of Lincoln School, the exception being the schools first teacher of African-American race, Charles W. Lear. Mr. Lear taught for thirty-two of the schools seventy-five years of existence.</p><br>
<p>After 1955 the Lincoln School was used as a storage facility by the Canton R-5 school district and fell into a state of considerable disrepair. That began to change after its inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places on February 10, 1983, and further after the district donated the school to the City of Canton in 1995. In recent years a non-profit community group, Lincoln School Restoration Association, has taken over management and restoration efforts at the school. A commemorative plaque now adorns the exterior and an interpretive sign in front provides a brief history of the school. No public access is available at this time due to ongoing restoration. In popular culture, Lincoln School was the basis for the fictional Douglass School of Nutbush, Missouri in author Eleanora Tates series of childrens stories. Ms. Tate, a Canton native, attended first grade at Lincoln School in its final year of operation.</p><br>
<p>E.V. Spence Reservoir  is an artificial lake located west of  the town of Robert Lee, Texas. The reservoir was impounded by the creation of Robert Lee Dam in 1969, with the support of the Upper Colorado River Authority, to provide a reliable water supply for Robert Lee and the surrounding communities in Coke County. The lake also serves as a recreational venue for fishing, boating, and swimming. Robert Lee Dam is managed by the Colorado River Municipal Water District.</p><br>
<h2>Fish populations</h2><br>
<p>E.V. Spence Reservoir has been stocked with species of fish intended to improve the utility of the reservoir for recreational fishing. Fish present in the lake include striped bass, largemouth bass, white bass, and catfish.</p><br>
<h2>Severe Drought</h2><br>
<p>In July 2011, the reservoir&#39;s level had sunk to less than 0.76% full — effectively dry. Severe drought conditions and record summer high temperatures in the area caused the Colorado River Municipal Water District to stop any further water withdrawals from Midland, Texas and surrounding communities. If the reservoir empties, the formerly reliable water source from the reservoir will need to be supplanted by trucking in water from other sources to supply the town of Robert Lee.</p><br>
<p>By September 2012, the lake reached its lowest level of 0.19% full, less than 1,000 acre-feet of storage, and an elevation of 1810.14 ft above datum, which was 87.86 feet below full. The lake would recover rapidly to nearly 6% capacity after a major rain event in September 2012. As of May 2015, the lake was 4.4% of capacity. Up from 2% in May 2014. As of June 2016, the lake was 10.4% of capacity.</p><br>
<p>Worth County Courthouse in Northwood, Iowa was built in 1893 in a Romanesque style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places  in 1981. It was constructed in brick and features a small tower. The building was enlarged and remodeled in 1938.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first courthouse was built in 1879 with a contributed total of $5,075 with construction finishing in 1880. Before the courthouse was finished, it was agreed that the land upon which the courthouse was built could be subdivided among the people who participated in the erection of the courthouse if the land went back to the original owners and that the only way that the courthouse can be moved is if there is a written majority consensus from the contributors to move it. The first courthouse was made out of bricks and was considered plain and only $4,400 of the contributed sum was used to build it.</p><br>
<h2>Current courthouse</h2><br>
<p>Built following an election which resulted in Northwood remaining the county seat and completed in 1893, the current courthouse is made out of brick and has a base made out of limestone. It includes a small tower with no clock. Out of the donated $5,000 only $4,594 was used to build the courthouse. The first tower was replaced and the entire courthouse renovated in 1938. A Civil War cannon is on the grounds of the courthouse that was erected by the Worth County Sesquicentennial Commission in 1996. The carriage of the cannon was manufactured at the Northwood Foundry while the rest of the cannon was manufactured at the Fort Pitt Foundry. The cannon is an 1861 columbiad. The cannon used to be located on the north bank of Shell Rock River. An expansion of the courthouse in 1990 included new offices, a new jail, and a conference room.</p><br>
<p>St. Mary&#39;s Catholic Church is a historic Catholic parish church in the city of Delaware, Ohio, United States. Constructed in the 1880s, this grand building is home to a congregation established in the middle of the nineteenth century. Its grand style has long made it a community landmark, and it was named a historic landmark in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Parish history</h2><br>
<p>Delawares first Masses were celebrated by travelling priests in the homes of the citys few Catholics, most of whom were Irish or German immigrants. The members built the first St. Marys Church in 1850, but six years passed before Archbishop Purcell appointed the first priest to serve as the pastor. This man, Casper Wiese, quickly founded a parish school and bought a piece of land for use as a parish cemetery. A series of short-tenured pastorates followed Wieses four-year time; the longest, that of Henry Fehlings, ended during the process of regional reorganization following the creation of the Diocese of Columbus. Fehlings&#39; pastorate saw the parish expand outward from its small frame building: a brick addition to the church was constructed in 1865, a nearby store was purchased and converted into premises for the parish school, and a nearby house was purchased and converted into a rectory. By 1880, the parish had reached a membership of approximately seven hundred. In 1886, the present house of worship was constructed on William Street near downtown.</p><br>
<p>Today, St. Mary&#39;s remains an active component of the Diocese of Columbus. It is one of three parishes in Delaware County, along with St. Joan of Arc in Powell and St. John Neumann in Sunbury.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>St. Mary&#39;s is a brick structure supported on a foundation of limestone and covered with a slate roof. Designed by Adolphus Druiding, the building is a Gothic Revival structure dominated by a pair of towers on the facade. The towers sit on either side of the gabled main portion of the building; the tower on the right, as seen by a person facing the building, is substantially taller than the tower on the left. Six ogive windows pierce the side, one per bay, while individual and paired windows are placed on various heights in the towers; clocks are set in the taller tower, and both are topped with tall spires that can be seen throughout Delaware. Extensive and ornate detailing is present, including numerous wood carvings, elaborate stained glass in the windows, and decorative placement of bricks. Inside, columns separate the nave from the side aisles, and the two altars are built of wood that has been both painted and carven. The extensive artisanship of the church makes it differ greatly from the rectory; although three stories tall and built of brick, it is far plainer than the church.</p><br>
<h2>Historic site</h2><br>
<p>In 1980, St. Mary&#39;s Church and its rectory were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of their historically significant architecture. They together comprise one of seventeen National Register-listed locations in the city of Delaware, along with places such as the Delaware County Courthouse downtown and Selby Field on the Ohio Wesleyan University campus.</p><br>
<p>The Frank Memorial Synagogue is a synagogue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, named after philanthropist Henry S. Frank.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The synagogue was built in 1901 on the grounds of the Jewish Hospital of Philadelphia, now the Albert Einstein Medical Center.</p><br>
<p>The architect, Arnold W. Brunner, was inspired by the recent publication of images of several Roman-era synagogues in Israel, particularly the handsome and largely intact synagogue at Kfar Bar&#39;am. Several synagogues had been studied by the British Palestine Exploration Fund and illustrations were published in the Jewish Encyclopedia.</p><br>
<p>The Frank Memorial synagogue replicated the round arch of the door of the standing ruin at Kfar Baram, and the lintel from the smaller synagogue at Kfar Baram that is now in the Louvre. The inscription on the lintel is taken from that inscription and reads, in Hebrew, "Peace be upon the place, and on all the places of Israel." Over the door is a seven-branched Menorah in a wreath, copied from the ancient Nabratein synagogue. The synagogue&#39;s floors are set with mosaics, although it was built before mosaic synagogue floors had been discovered in ancient synagogues in Israel.</p><br>
<p>The supervising architect was Frank Furness, who had been the principal architect of the Jewish Hospital since 1871.</p><br>
<p>The Nabratein synagogue  is an ancient synagogue and archaeological site in the upper Galilee, in a pine forest northeast of Safed.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Naburiya was a Jewish village in the Galilee during the First and Second Temple periods. Neburaya is believed to be identical with Nabratein, a location north of Safed where Eleazar of Modi&#39;im and Jacob of Kfar Neburaya, a compiler of the Haggadah, are buried. The excavated remains of the Naburiya synagogue indicate that it is one of the oldest in the Galilee. The original synagogue was enlarged during the third century and destroyed in the Galilee earthquake of 363.</p><br>
<p>The final, and much larger, synagogue building was constructed in the late 6th century reusing stones from the earlier building. The year of its construction is known from the inscription over the main door, now displayed at the Israel Museum: “Built four hundred and ninety four years after the destruction of the Temple under the leadership of Hanina ben Lizar and Luliana bar Yuden.” The building stood until 640 CE. The façade was partially reconstructed by the Jewish National Fund and the Israel Antiquities Authority.</p><br>
<p>The seven-branched Menorah surrounded by a wreath over the door of the Henry S. Frank Memorial Synagogue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is copied from the Nabratein synagogue.</p><br>
<p>The Anglican Church of St. Mary and St. Peter in Winford, Somerset, England, dates from the 15th Century. It has been designated as a Grade II* listed building.</p><br>
<p>The main body of the original church was rebuilt in 1796 however the tower, which was built around 1437, survives.</p><br>
<p>The church consists of a nave, chancel and north and south aisles along with the four-stage west tower which is supported by set back buttresses and has a small polygonal stair turret from the roof. Around the tower is a trefoil-headed parapet with corner crocketted pinnacles and gargoyles on the corners. The tower has six bells. These were re-tuned in 2006.</p><br>
<p>The interior holds a font and wooden pulpit. There is some stained glass which is decorated with heraldic shields and a canvas coat of arms beneath the tower. An unidentified monument and a Shire Monument dating from around 1764 in the churchyard are also listed.</p><br>
<p>The parish is part of the benefice of Winford with Felton Common within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.</p><br>
<p>At, the Wilseder Berg is the highest point on the Lüneburg Heath in North Germany. Due to its position in the middle of the nature reserve Lüneburg Heath it is a popular tourist destination, especially in the period when the heather is in flower.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Wilseder Berg is part of a nature reserve within the Lüneburg Heath and lies near the villages of Wilsede and Bispingen in the Heidekreis. The hill was formed during the penultimate ice age, the Saale glaciation, and was part of a terminal moraine. It has a broad plateau and a flat summit. Around it lies a varied landscape of hollows, valleys and small ravines. The surrounding area has leached, gravelly-sandy soils with layers of hardpan, covered by open sand, large areas of heathland and extensive coniferous forest. The heathland is grazed by a variety of moorland sheep, known as the Heidschnucke.</p><br>
<p>The Wilseder Berg lies on a watershed, from which several headstreams emerge, such as those of the Este, Luhe, Wümme and Böhme. Some of these streams feed the river system of the Weser, others flow eventually into the Elbe.</p><br>
<p>There is a stone on the summit plateau on which there is a metal cone engraved with the directions and distance of neighbouring hills and towns, near and far.</p><br>
<h3>Totengrund and Steingrund</h3><br>
<p>The best-known valley in the vicinity of the hill is the Totengrund hollow, several hectares in area, south of the museum village of Wilsede. It is an old dead-ice kettle hole with sides up to 40 metres high, covered in heather and juniper bushes. The name means "dead ground" and was probably so called because of its very infertile, i.e. dead, soil, because the valley is very dry. The Totengrund became the heart of the present-day nature reserve when Egestorf priest, Wilhelm Bode, purchased it in 1906 with donations. There is a controversy involving current plans to build seven wind turbines of a height in excess of 180 metres (over 600 feet) near Behringen. These would be visible from the Totengrund and according to local environmentalists spoil the view.</p><br>
<p>Another nearby valley is the Steingrund, which is covered thickly with stones deposited during the ice age and is a typical heathland dry valley.</p><br>
<h2>Triangulation station</h2><br>
<p>In 1820 George IV of England, who was also the King of Hanover, tasked the Professor of Astronomy and Director of the Observatory at Göttingen University, Carl Friedrich Gauss, to survey the Kingdom of Hanover. Gauss used the summit of the Wilseder Berg, amongst others, as a triangulation station for his land surveys. Other central triangulation points were the Falkenberg (150 m above NN) to the south and the Haußelberg (118 m above NN) to the east.</p><br>
<p>Part of the triangulation network, depicting the Wilseder Berg, was represented on the reverse side of the 4th series of 10 Deutschmark banknotes.</p><br>
<h2>Tourism</h2><br>
<p>The picturesque landscape is popular with tourists. There are horse-drawn carriages for hire to the Wilseder Berg from the villages of Oberhaverbeck, Niederhaverbeck, Undeloh, Döhle or Sudermühlen and it can also be reached on foot from Volkwardingen.</p><br>
<p>On a clear day the TV tower at Hamburg can be seen on the horizon. There are also scenic views over the heath towards the west and north.</p><br>
<p>The Church of St Mary in Bruton, Somerset, England was largely built in the 14th century. Like many Somerset churches, it has a very fine tower; less usually it has a second one as well. It has been designated a Grade I listed building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first church on the site was founded by Ine of Wessex in the 7th century, which grew into an Augustinian priory, becoming Bruton Abbey shortly before the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The church was within the grounds of the abbey so strictly a chapel of it, but always in effect the parish church of the town, with an office and what was perhaps a schoolroom in the north tower above the porch.</p><br>
<p>The Bruton branch of the Berkeley family have a long association with the town and the church. William Berkeley left Bruton for America becoming colonial governor of Virginia. The church has links with Bruton Parish Church in the restored area of Colonial Williamsburg in Williamsburg, Virginia, USA.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>It has two towers, the larger of which dates from after 1485, and is the furthest south of a type called the "Mendip towers". It is 102.5 ft high. This is the west tower; the older north tower is unusually placed over the church porch.</p><br>
<p>The north aisle and tower, and the crypt under the chancel, date back to the early 14th century and are the oldest remaining parts of the church, followed by the south aisle and then the early 15th-century nave. The clerestory and roof are from 1506-1523, and the former screen, now by the north tower, Jacobean of 1620. The chancel was rebuilt in 1743 by Nathaniel Ireson for Sir Charles Berkeley as a shallow tunnel vault with Rococo styling, another unexpected note.</p><br>
<h2>Parish</h2><br>
<p>The Bruton and District benefice, of which the parish of Bruton with Wyke Champflower and Redlynch is a part, also includes: Batcombe, Brewham, Lamyatt, Pitcombe, Shepton Montague and Upton Noble.</p><br>

<p>The Tremper Mound and Works are a Hopewell (100 BCE to 500 CE) earthen enclosure and large, irregularly shaped mound. The site is located in Scioto County, Ohio, about five miles northwest of Portsmouth, Ohio, on the second terrace floodplain overlooking the Scioto River. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>Site description</h2><br>
<p>The Tremper Works include a large earthen enclosure in the shape of a flattened oval. Measuring 480 ft by 407 ft, the oval was entered through an opening in the southwestern part of the enclosure. At the center of the oval is a large, irregularly shaped mound. Believed by some to be an effigy mound built in the shape of an animal, although there has never been any conclusive proof of this.</p><br>
<p>The site was surveyed in the 1840s by Charles Whittlesey for E. G. Squier and E. H. Davis, and an engraving was included in their book Ancient Monuments of the Mississippi Valley. The site was excavated by William C. Mills of the Ohio Historical Society in 1915. He discovered numerous postmolds at the base of the mound, revealing the outline of a wooden structure 200 ft long by 100 ft wide. The pattern showed that there had been a large building with several smaller chambers at its eastern end.</p><br>
<h2>Pipes</h2><br>
<p>Another significant discovery made at Tremper were more than 500 objects that had been deliberately broken and left in one of the eastern chambers. The objects included 136 smoking pipes made of catlinite or pipestone. Ninety were effigy pipes sculpted in the shapes of animals, notably bears, wolves, dogs, beavers, cougars, otters, turtles, cranes, owls, herons, and hawks.</p><br>
<p>It had been thought that the material used to make the pipes had been quarried from Ohio pipestone outcrops across the Scioto River from Tremper, but new tests have shown that the majority of the pipes were made from Sterling pipestone from northwestern Illinois. Many of the Tremper pipes are on display at the Ohio Historical Center in Columbus, Ohio.</p><br>
<p>The Anglican Church of St Mary the Virgin in Chard, Somerset, England dates from the late 11th century and was rebuilt in the 15th century. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building. Due to the effects of a leak in the roof it was added to the Heritage at Risk register in 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Perpendicular cruciform church has an aisled nave and north and south porches. The north transept has an oak roof, which was refurbished in 1975. The south transept contains the organ, built in 1883. The church used to have galleries. The Fawcus chapel in the north aisle, dedicated to a local physician, includes the Brewer Memorial.</p><br>
<p>The west tower was built between 1505 and 1520 and contains a peal of eight bells, of which two were made in the 1790s by Thomas Bilbie of the Bilbie family in Cullompton. The three-stage tower has moulded string courses and an angle stair turret in the north-west corner. The clock chimes each quarter-hour in a setting often known as Chard Chimes.</p><br>
<p>There is a church room built in 1827.</p><br>
<p>In 2011 an examination of the church&#39;s financial situation led to the use of cheaper communion wine and a proposal to turn off the floodlights that illuminate the church at night.</p><br>
<p>The parish is part of the benefice of Chard, St. Mary with Combe St Nicholas, Wambrook and Whitestaunton within the deanery of Crewkerne and Ilminster.</p><br>
<p>Preston Overlook is a historic scenic overlook in Preston, Minnesota, United States. It was built in 1937–38 by the Minnesota Department of Highways under the program of Federal Relief Construction in Minnesota.</p><br>
<p>The overlook was a product of its times: the Great Depression led United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt to create the New Deal, a complex package of economic programs initiated to help the economy recover and put people to work. The overlook was a project of one such plan, the National Reemployment Service. The original idea came from the Preston Women&#39;s Civic Improvement Club, which had lobbied for highway beautification. A site was chosen on the highest point on the bluffs above the Root River, 90 feet below. The overlook was designed by Minnesota landscape architect Arthur R. Nichols in the Rustic Style. The mosaic patterned wall and flagstone walk consist of limestone quarried from below the overlook.</p><br>
<p>The Preston Overlook was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>The Church of St Catherine in Drayton, Somerset, England dates from the 15th century. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.</p><br>
<p>St Catherine&#39;s exterior is blue lias and golden hamstone. It was restored in 1855 by Maurice Davis of Langport and again in 1896.</p><br>
<p>The 15th-century cross in the churchyard has a sculpture of St Michael with a sword and shield in the act of vanquishing a dragon.</p><br>
<p>In 2002 plans to put a new floor in the tower provoked objections from parishioners and was eventually resolved by the Ecclesiastical Court.</p><br>
<p>The rectory, known as Drayton Court, which dates from the early 19th century, is now a private house.</p><br>
<p>The parish is part of the benefice covered by the Langport Area Team Ministry within the deanery of Ivelchester.</p><br>
<h2>Stained glass windows</h2><br>
<p>The Royal Chapel of St. Anthony of La Florida  is a Neoclassical chapel in central Madrid. The chapel is best known for its ceiling and dome frescoes by Francisco Goya. It is also his former burial place.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The structure was declared a national monument in 1905.</p><br>
<p>On every June 13, the chapel becomes the site of a lively pilgrimage in which young unwed women come to pray to Saint Anthony and to ask for a partner.</p><br>
<h2>Frescoes</h2><br>
<p>The frescoes by Goya were completed over a six-month period in 1798. The frescoes portray miracles by Saint Anthony of Padua. On the main cupola of the chapel Goya depicted Saint Anthony raising a man from the dead and exculpating his father, who had been falsely accused of his murder. Instead of portraying the scene as occurring in thirteenth-century Lisbon, Goya relocated the miracle to contemporary Madrid.</p><br>
<p>The Anglican Church of St Vincent at Ashington in the civil parish of Chilton Cantelo, Somerset, England is from the 13th century. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.</p><br>
<p>The church was built of local stone with Hamstone dressings and has a clay tile roof. It is a small two-cell church with a nave, supported by offset buttresses and a chancel which underwent Victorian restoration. The western bell turret was added after the construction of the church.</p><br>
<p>The interior includes Jacobean furnishings. There are box pews and a pulpit with a tester from the 17th century. The baptismal font is octagonal.</p><br>
<p>The parish is within the benefice of Chilton Cantelo, Ashington, Mudford, Rimpton and Marston Magna within the deanery of Yeovil.</p><br>
<p>Yuchanyan Cave is an archaeological site in Daoxian County, Hunan, China. The site yielded sherds of ceramic vessels and other artifacts which were dated by analysis of charcoal and bone collagen, giving a date range of 17,500 to 18,300 years old for the pottery. The pottery specimens may be the oldest known examples of pottery.</p><br>
<p>The cave yielded fragmentary remains of 2 or more ceramic vessels, in addition to large amounts of ash, a rich animal bone assemblage, cobble and flake artifacts, bone tools, and shell tools. The artifacts indicate that the cave was a Late Paleolithic foragers&#39; camp. Here we report on the radiocarbon ages of the sediments based on analyses of charcoal and bone collagen. The best-preserved charcoal and bone samples were identified by prescreening in the field and laboratory. The dates range from around 21,000 to 13,800 cal BP. The age of the ancient pottery ranges between 18,300 and 15,430 cal BP. Charcoal and bone collagen samples located above and below one of the fragments produced dates of around 18,000. These ceramic potsherds therefore provide some of the earliest evidence for pottery making in China.</p><br>
<p>The Rogers Commercial Historic District is a historic district in the central business district of Rogers, Arkansas. When it was first listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988, it was known as the Walnut Street Historic District; this was changed when the district was enlarged in 1993.</p><br>
<p>The original 1988 boundary of the district included buildings on two blocks of Walnut Street, between Second and Arkansas Streets, and encompasses a cluster of predominantly commercial buildings built between 1885 and 1912. These buildings were predominantly Italianate commercial masonry buildings. In 1993 the district was enlarged to include two blocks of First and Second Streets, between Walnut and Poplar Streets, which also included historically significant commercial buildings constructed up to 1943. This enlargement included the previously-listed former Rogers Post Office Building, Lane Hotel, Applegate Drugstore, and Bank of Rogers Building. This enlargement included a wider variety of architectural styles, notably the Colonial Revival styling of the old post office, and Spanish Colonial Revival of the Lane Hotel. The district was further enlarged in 1998 to include 120 South Second Street, and in 2002 to include the Victory Theater. In 2012 it was enlarged yet again, adding the 200 block of West Elm Street.</p><br>

<p>The Eureka Springs Historic District is a historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. Its boundaries are those of the city of Eureka Springs, Arkansas at the time of its listing, specifically augmented in 1979 to include its historic railroad depot. Much of the city was developed between 1880  and 1910, when the area was the center of resort activity taking advantage of the many natural springs in the area. About 20% of the city&#39;s buildings were built in the 1890s and have a significant element of either Queen Anne or Second Empire styling, while its commercial buildings tend to have Romanesque and Italianate details. The city is one of the best-preserved turn-of-the-century resort communities in the region.</p><br>
<p>The Sioux County Courthouse, located at the northeast corner of Main and 3rd Streets in Harrison, is the center of government of Sioux County, Nebraska. The courthouse was built in 1930 to replace the countys first courthouse, an 1888 building that had fallen into poor condition. Architect E.L. Goldsmith of Scottsbluff designed the courthouse in the County Citadel style, a Classical Revival-influenced design used in six Nebraska courthouses. The courthouses design features six fluted pilasters on the front facade and a central entrance with a round arch. The front side of the building also includes a lintel above the doorway, moldings with decorative capitals around the entrance, and a cornice with the inscription "Sioux County Court House".</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Neher–Elseffer House is located on USA Route 9 a short distance north of its intersection with New York State Route 9G in Rhinebeck, New York, United States. It is a frame house built in 1746, one of the rare pre-Revolutionary frame houses in the Rhinebeck area. Its current appearance reflects renovations made circa 1800, and the interior was altered in the 1830s.</p><br>
<p>It is currently owned by the town and used for storage. In 2000 it was damaged in a fire, leading to some additional renovations and repairs. In 2003 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The house is on a 2.5 acre wooded lot on the east side of Route 9, the remainder of the much larger original farm. It is a one-and-a-half-story, five-bay clapboard-sided frame house on a stone foundation. The main block is 40 ft long by 35 ft wide. A 12-foot-square (4 m) one-story flat-roofed wing projects from the south.</p><br>
<p>Its gabled saltbox-profile roof is surfaced in seamed metal with a shallow cornice at the front. Siding on the front is modern plywood, installed after the original facade was destroyed in a fire. The main entrance is located in the center. It leads to a central interior hall with large rooms on either side and a matching exit in the rear. A staircase to the second story is also in the rear.</p><br>
<p>The interior rooms are currently vacant, used for storage. An original mantelpiece and fireplace were located in the north end, but these have been removed and boarded up due to the damage caused by the fire. The second story has also been severely damaged. The basement retains the most original character of any room in the house.</p><br>
<p>There is one outbuilding on the property, a three-bay gabled barn to the east. It is considered to be a contributing resource to the Register listing since it is built around the remnant of an original Dutch barn. Among those remnants is the center pole, which an inscription dates to 1770. There are also the remnants of another barn and well to the rear.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first owner associated with the house was Franz Neher, one of the original Palatine German settlers of the area. He had come to New York from Birkenfeld with his father, Karel, as a boy in the 1710s. Karel&#39;s name appears on tax records in the area until his death in 1733. Franz is listed as the resident of the house on a contemporary map published by a local church. He served as a captain during the French and Indian War and later appears to have taken up shoemaking as a trade.</p><br>
<p>In 1762 the records of local landowner Robert Livingston show that a Ludowick Elseffer became the lessee of the property, then 48.5 acre in size. His descendants would own the property until its last resident, Karen Losee. They modified the exterior around 1800, and renovated the interior in the 1830s, moving the staircase further back and plastering the ceilings, which previously exposed rafters. In 1872 the south wing was added, the last significant change to the house.</p><br>
<p>After it became vacant, it was damaged by a fire in 2000. The front facade had to be resided, and the north chimney and its fireplace and mantel were removed and boarded up. These actions further compromised the heavily damaged second story.</p><br>
<p>The property was later donated to the local Quitman Resource Center, which plans to restore the house and use it as a museum. In 2002 it received a grant from the Preservation League of New York State to do a historic structure report on the house. Two years later, in 2004, it received a $25,000 matching grant from the state to restore the rear wall and do archaeological research.</p><br>
<p>The Sioux County Courthouse is a Richardsonian Romanesque courthouse in Orange City, Iowa, the county seat of Sioux County, Iowa. Designed by Wilfred Warren  Beach, it was built from 1902 to 1904.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Sioux County was organized on January 20, 1860, on land occupied by the indigenous Sioux until they were forced to abandon it under the terms of the fourth Treaty of Prairie du Chien in 1830. The original courthouse was a log structure on the Big Sioux River in the hamlet of Calliope, Iowa (now part of Hawarden). That building was part office, part residence, and part fort, but in 1869–1870 the White residents of Calliope fled to Sioux City, Iowa, 40 miles to the south, temporarily abandoning the log courthouse during renewed armed Native American resistance to the newcomers. The courthouse was sold off soon after the Whites returned, when after a referendum in 1872 the county seat was moved to Orange City. Sioux County had no central county offices until the present courthouse was finished over 30 years later.</p><br>
<p>With the approval of a bond issue, Sioux County selected W.W. Beach (1872–1937) as its architect. Beach had been born in 1872, the same year that the county seat was moved to Orange City. His birthplace was Alton, in Sioux County, just three miles east of the new county seat. Beach had established his architectural practice in Sioux City only in 1899, with his first major commission being the Main Hall (later Lewis Hall) for Morningside College in that city. By the time the Sioux County Courthouse was completed, Beach had hired promising young William L. Steele (1875–1949) as his draftsman, and the two would later form a brief partnership.</p><br>
<p>Construction on the courthouse began in June 1902, but the construction company went bankrupt, delaying completion until October 1904. Just five years later, lightning destroyed the top of the tower in 1907, and it was replaced with a hip roof and a 10-foot-tall cast bronze statue personifying Justice (Vrouwe Justitia).</p><br>
<p>The clock mechanism was built by E. Howard & Co. and was originally weight-driven, requiring staff to "wind" the clock frequently. As electricity became prevalent, the clock was converted to use an electric motor, making it easier to maintain and more accurate. Most of the original clock was preserved during this upgrade.</p><br>
<p>The building was extensively renovated in 1976–1982, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Beachs design is classic, muscular Richardsonian Romanesque, an architectural style developed by Henry Hobson Richardson. Although of high quality, its timing is unusual, since that style was associated with the late 1880s rather than the early 20th century. More typically in Iowa or nearby South Dakota at this time, public buildings were done in a classical revival style, influenced by the Worlds Columbian Exposition, held in Chicago in 1893. However, two nearby South Dakota counties had built Richardsonian Romanesque courthouses just prior to this time: Union County (Elk Point, 1898) and Lincoln County (Canton, 1899).</p><br>
<p>A deep rusticated arch forms the principal entrance at the base of the courthouse central tower, which is six stories tall. Doors and windows appear to be cut deeply into the dark red sandstone, and the effect is heightened by the light buff sandstone trim.</p><br>
<p>The Mallory–Neely House is a historic residence on 652 Adams Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee, USA. It is located in the Victorian Village district of Memphis. It has been identified as one of numerous contributing properties in the historic district.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Around 1852, the mansion was built in the Italianate style as an early Victorian villa. From 1852 until 1969, the mansion was home to the families of Isaac Kirtland, Benjamin Babb, James C. Neely, Daniel Grant, and Barton Lee Mallory.</p><br>
<p>In the 1880s and 1890s, the house was extensively renovated. During the renovation, the original two and one half stories of the building were extended to three full stories and the tower of the building was enlarged. After the renovation, the house consisted of 25 rooms. The Neely family decorated the mansion in the Victorian style, with parquet flooring, ornamental plasterwork, and ceiling stenciling.</p><br>
<p>In 1969, the last resident of the mansion, Daisy Neely-Mallory, died at age 98. According to her wish, the house was deeded to the Daughters, Sons, and Children of the American Revolution.</p><br>
<h2>Museum</h2><br>
<p>In 1972, the Victorian Village district of Memphis was listed in the National Register of Historic Places. In 1973 the mansion was adapted for use as a house museum, featuring furnishings of the Victorian era.</p><br>
<p>In 2005, the Mallory–Neely House was closed to the public due to the need for expensive renovations and funding problems of the City of Memphis. the house is open to the public. It was reopened in early November 2012 in a special ceremony for VIPs. It reopened to the general public a week later on November 11, 2012. The house has been stabilized and re-roofed with slate tiles and full copper trim. The house has had numerous additions to make it accessible under Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) rules. As of November 4, 2012, the public is admitted on Fridays and Saturdays. A ramp allows entry to the first floor. The carriage house serves as the ticket office, and is also the venue for a 20-minute video about the museum.</p><br>
<p>The Magevney House is a historic residence on 198 Adams Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee, USA. It is located in the Victorian Village of Memphis and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is one of the oldest residences remaining in Memphis.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the 1830s, the Magevney House was built by Eugene Magevney as a clapboard cottage. Magevney was born in Ireland in 1798 to a Catholic family. He immigrated to the United States in 1828 and settled in Memphis in 1833, where he was a pioneer teacher and civic leader. He died in the yellow fever epidemic of 1873.</p><br>
<p>During the late 1830s and early 1840s, three important events in Memphis religious history took place in the cottage. In 1839, the first Catholic mass in Memphis was celebrated in the house. In 1840, a priest officiated at the first Catholic marriage in the city. In 1841, the first Catholic baptism of Memphis was performed at the Magevney homestead.</p><br>
<p>In 1941, the descendants of Eugene Magevney gave the property to the City of Memphis, which adapted and operated it as a house museum. In 1973, the Magevney House was listed in the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>From 2005 to 2009, the house and museum were closed to the public. The Pink Palace in Memphis reopened the Magevney house, available to the public on the first Saturday of each month from 1pm-4pm. Admission is free. The Magevney House is part of the Pink Palace Family of Museums.</p><br>
<p>BancCentral National Association  is a commercial bank based in Alva, Oklahoma. It was built in 1901 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. It had been owned and operated by the Myers family since 1919.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Alva National Bank was established in 1899. Officers of Alva National Bank in 1907 were George A. Harbaugh president, and J.H. Schaefer, vice president. During the years between 1907 and 1913, the Alva Security Bank purchased Alva National Bank with Harbaugh as bank president.</p><br>
<p>In August 1913, G.A. Harbaugh, E. Anderson, T.F. Fennessey and H.E. Noble, owners of Alva Security, organized a new banking institution under the name Central State Bank. The newly named bank continued to operate at the location of the former Alva Security Bank. Central State Bank was considered a "state bank," the deposits were insured by the Depositors Guaranty of the State of Oklahoma. On October 31, 1917, Central State Bank absorbed the Woods County Union Bank. Harbaugh and George Meade had controlling stocks of the Union Bank at that time.</p><br>
<p>In 1919, W.D. Myers purchased a large interest in the bank, becoming the President, a role he held until his death in 1951. In 1951, Gertrude Myers became chairman of the board and CEO of the bank, and her brother, W.D. Myers, Jr., became President. W.D. served as President until his death in 1987. William R. Buckles was elected President of the bank, and was named CEO following Gertrudes death. At the time of Gertrudes death, L.W. became Chairman of the Board and served until his death.</p><br>
<p>The Woodward County branches of NationsBank were acquired by CNB on March 13, 1998. That bank had gone through a series of purchases and mergers beginning with the sale of the Bank of Woodward to Bank IV in Wichita, Kansas on May 28, 1993. Kyle D. Hughbanks was named President and CEO.</p><br>
<p>In 2009, the bank caused controversy by demolishing a parking garage that reportedly contained hundreds of bats, mostly Mexican free tail bats.</p><br>
<p>In 2010, Northwestern Oklahoma State University named its new baseball stadium after Myers Jr. and his daughter Lillie Myers.</p><br>
<p>In March 2012, the bank changed its name to BancCentral National Association (BancCentral, N.A).</p><br>
<p>The former First Church of Christ, Scientist, is an historic Christian Science church building located at 700 22nd Street, Rock Island, Illinois, United States. Designed by architect William C. Jones of Chicago in the Palladian style, it was built between 1914-1915. Its exterior walls are of brick covered by Bedford limestone. Its superimposed front portico is supported by six 2 story columns with egg-and-dart capitals. Its dome actually consists of 2 domes: an outer dome and an inner dome which are separated by a space for lighting fixtures and maintenance. The inner dome consists of some 8,000 colored fish scale glass panes on a wooden support structure. The inner dome is similar to the inner dome of First Church of Christ, Scientist in Kalamazoo, Michigan, which was designed by William C. Jones in 1913.</p><br>
<p>The church building, the second one built in Rock Island by the congregation, It is one of 4 churches in the district and the only Palladian building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first Christian Science church in what is now called the Quad Cities was First Church of Christ, Scientist, Davenport, Iowa. Due to the difficulty in traveling to Davenport, the Rock Island members of the Davenport church in 1895 began holding Friday night testimony meetings in rented halls in Rock Island, first at the Industrial Home Building at 3rd Avenue and 21st Street and then at the Swedish Baptist Church at 5th Avenue and 21st Street. In April 1896 they acquired a lot on 23rd Street south of 8th Avenue and began construction of their own building which would seat 700 people. In October 1896, they formally withdrew from the Davenport church and organized First Church of Christ, Scientist, Rock Island, Illinois.</p><br>
<h2>Current status</h2><br>
<p>First Church of Christ, Scientist, Rock Island, is no longer an active Christian Science church. The building sat empty for about 15 years before being purchased by David and Marsha Karpeles in 2011. It is now a location for their Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum.</p><br>
<p>The Sherman County Courthouse, at 630 O St. in Loup City, Nebraska, is a historic Beaux Arts-style county courthouse that was built in 1920. Serving Sherman County still, it is a 60 x building, topped by a cornice, and above that, mutules and a parapet.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first Sherman County Courthouse, financed by $5,000 in bonds, was built in 1874, the year after the county was created. However, the courthouse burned down on the day of its dedication. A second courthouse was made of brick and was built in 1878, using some of the surviving wall of the first building. The Burlington and Missouri River Railroad donated $1,200 to the county for the construction of this second courthouse.</p><br>
<p>The third and current Sherman County Courthouse opened in 1921. It is tan brick with terra cotta trim and was financed by a special tax levy which began in 1916 and raised $102,640 by the time building&#39;s completion. The courthouse was designed by Henningson Engineering Co., and built by John Ohlsen and Sons, who also owned a brickyard.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse square was the scene of a riot on June 14, 1934 (the "Flag Day Riot"), and a subsequent trial. The riot marked the end of the Farm Holiday Movement in Nebraska. The Farm Holiday Movement was an agrarian farmer&#39;s movement in reaction to poor agricultural conditions in the 1930s. In the riot, the well-known national labor figure Ella Reeve "Mother" Bloor and other activists, including Communists, were arrested. Bloor recounted the affair in her 1940 autobiography, We Are Many, and "the arrests, trial, and subsequent appeals were reported nationally."</p><br>
<p>The Chautauqua Auditorium, built in 1903, is a large historic icosagonal  wooden chautauqua meeting hall located at Forest Park and North East 9th Street, Shelbyville, Illinois, United States. On January 30, 1978, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>It is the largest building of its kind anywhere in the world. The building was constructed by a local bridge builder and designed with a unique system of structural support. Because of this, there are no interior pillars to block the view of the stage.</p><br>
<p>The large stage features three female Grecian statues representing Art, Music and Drama. These statues were works from renowned Illinois artist and Shelbyville native Robert Root.</p><br>
<p>In 2009 Landmarks Illinois declared it one of the 10 most endangered historic places in Illinois. The building is in need of extensive repairs which are estimated to cost $1,750,000. The city of Shelbyville which owns the auditorium has threatened to tear it down if repairs cannot be made within 2 years. The is working on funding for a four-phase renovation project.</p><br>
<p>The Mulberry River Bridge, also known as the Silver Bridge and the Wire Ford Bridge, is a historic bridge Pratt through truss bridge northeast of Pleasant Hill, Arkansas, now a neighborhood of the city of Mulberry. The bridge  normally carries Wire Road/Center Point Road across the Mulberry River. The bridge has three spans, set on metal caissons filled with concrete, and has a total length of 342 ft. Each span measures 105 ft, and has a deck width of 12 ft and a vertical clearance of 13 ft. In 1927 it was rebuilt when two of the three spans were washed out by the Mulberry River. The bridge is the last known multi-span Pratt through truss bridge in the state.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<p>Zoo Lake is a popular lake and public park in Johannesburg, South Africa. It is part of the Hermann Eckstein Park and is opposite the Johannesburg Zoo. The Zoo Lake consists of two dams, an upper feeder dam, and a larger lower dam, both constructed in natural marshland watered by the Parktown Spruit.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The land was originally part of the Braamfontein farm, and was bought by banker and mining magnate Hermann Eckstein for potential exploitation of minerals. The plantation was started in 1891, and about three million trees were planted in the area. The forest became a favourite recreational spot for the wealthy Randlords and their families. About 10 years after Eckstein died, in August 1903, the Mayor of Johannesburg, W. St. John Carr, received a letter from his business partners (the firm Messrs. Wernher Beit & Co and Max Michaelis) with an offer of 200 acres of freehold ground for the Johannesburg Town Council to build the Johannesburg Zoo and the Herman Eckstein Park. The rest of the Sachsenwald land was developed into the present-day Johannesburg suburbs of Saxonwold and Forest Town.</p><br>
<p>An artificial lake was added to the Park in 1908. It also boasts the Coronation Fountain, a "musical fountain" and a Johannesburg heritage symbol, which was built in 1937 to commemorate the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. When Johannesburg celebrated its 70 birthday in 1956, as part of the city&#39;s celebration Margot Fonteyn danced Swan Lake with the Lake as a backdrop.</p><br>
<p>The gift of land was made under the condition that the facilities were to remain open to people of all races, which was unusual in Colonial South Africa. The multi-racial nature of the Park endured throughout the Apartheid era. Later Wernher, Beit and Company would donate further land for a carriage way around the park, for carriage drives or walks and they streets would become known as Upper and Lower Park Drives.</p><br>
<h2>Amenities</h2><br>
<p>Zoo Lake is a popular spot for picnicking, walking dogs, jogging and canoeing. There are also small boats available for hire. Zoo Lake has ducks and other waterfowl, which roost in an island at the centre of the lake, and feeding these birds (although officially discouraged) is a common family activity. However the water enters the Lake after passing through the grounds of the Zoo next door, and it is currently too polluted to permit angling or swimming. Efforts are underway to implement a sustainable eco-friendly filtration system.</p><br>
<p>The Park has restaurants, and is the venue for the annual Jazz on the Lake festival, Carols by Candlelight events and the Artists under the Sun open air art exhibition.</p><br>
<p>The precinct includes the Zoo Lake Bowling Club, the Zoo Lake Swimming Pool and the Zoo Lake Sports Club, and it is close to the South African National Museum of Military History.</p><br>
<p>The Myer House is a historic farmhouse in Washington Township, Franklin County, Ohio, United States. One of the area&#39;s older agricultural buildings, the house has seen few changes since its mid-nineteenth-century construction, and it has been designated a historic site.</p><br>
<p>The Myer House is a brick building with a stone foundation, a metal roof, and various elements of stone. Constructed in 1850,</p><br>
<p>Few modifications have been made to the house since it was erected. Prominent among the few exceptions was the addition of extra rooms: a rear wing, one and a half stories tall, was attached to the original two-story house long after the original building was completed. In 1979, the house&#39;s well-preserved historic architecture led to its addition to the National Register of Historic Places; it was part of a large multiple property submission by which many buildings in Washington Township, Dublin, and nearby parts of Columbus were listed on the Register together.</p><br>
<p>Old Main is a red-roofed Victorian Gothic building on the campus of Texas State University. Situated at one end of the quad, it was Texas State&#39;s first building, built in 1903, and remained the only building on campus until 1908. Old Main was added to the National Register of Historic Places  in 1983. It currently houses the offices for the School of Journalism and Mass Communication as well as the College of Fine Arts.</p><br>
<h2>Design and construction</h2><br>
<p>E. Northcraft designed the building for Southwest Texas State Normal College (now Texas State University) in 1902. When construction began, multiple loads of concrete were poured for the foundation which disappeared into the ground. A cave under the site of the building was discovered and had to be plugged before the foundation could really be set.</p><br>
<p>Contractors for the Old Main Building were Francis Fischer & RC Lambie of Austin, Texas.</p><br>
<p>Once other buildings began opening on campus to hold classes, the building was used as the university&#39;s administration building.</p><br>
<h2>1972 - Present</h2><br>
<p>In 1972, the interior of the building was renovated and the chapel ceiling was restored. Following completion of this work the building was rededicated and officially became "Old Main." During this renovation, the auditorium on the second floor was partitioned into smaller rooms.</p><br>
<p>In 1988, a renovation added a floor at the balcony level. This renovation maintained the ornate ceiling which was visible on the new third floor. The most recent renovations in 1993 and 1994 restored the original color and style roof of the building.</p><br>
<p>Today, Old Main at Texas State holds the College of Fine Arts and Communication along with the School of Journalism and Mass Communication.</p><br>
<p>A $3.5 million restoration and repair on Old Main&#39;s roof was completed in January 2014 with most of the work being done in 2013. Scaffolding was removed on January 17, 2014. The project included replacement of the roof and minor structural repairs to roof substrate and damaged/deteriorated wood framing members.</p><br>
<p>Lake Wamala is a freshwater lake in Uganda. Its wetlands contain endangered species of birds and animals including the sitatunga . The lake is of traditional and cultural significance to the people of Buganda in Central Uganda.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The lake is shared by the districts of Mubende, Mityana, and Gomba in the Central Region of Uganda. The road distance between downtown Mityana and Kalyankoko, Kimuli, Mityana District, on the eastern shores of Lake Wamala is approximately 17 km. The coordinates of Lake Wamala are 0°2044.0"N, 31°5316.0"E (Latitude:0.345545; Longitude:31.887778).</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>Lake Wamala covers an area of approximately 250 km&sup2;.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>More than 4,000 years ago Lake Wamala was part of Lake Victoria, but has since receded into its current state. One apocryphal myth supposes that Lake Wamala derives its name from a King Wamala, the last monarch of the Bachwezi dynasty and that King Wamala disappeared into the lake at a site near Lubajja fishing village called Nakyegalika and his spirit resides in the lake.</p><br>
<h2>Flora and fauna</h2><br>
<p>The vegetation surrounding Lake Wamala is dominated by papyrus, other floaters, and water-based vegetation. There are also trees such as Raphia and other palms. A variety of animal species such as sitatunga, wild pigs, hippopotamus, bushbuck, waterbuck, vervet monkey, baboon, guinea fowl, and turaco live near the lake. Existing fish species include tilapia, catfish, and lungfish.</p><br>
<h2>Fishing patterns</h2><br>
<p>During the 1960s and the early 1970s, Lake Wamala was an important source of both fresh and smoked fish sold locally and in the big towns in Central Uganda. Due to mismanagement and uncontrolled, unregulated commercial fishing on the lake, the fish were depleted in the mid-1970s. Climate change has also worsened the lake conditions, to the detriment of the local fishermen and their families.</p><br>
<p>Two of the highest waterfalls in Bulgaria are located near the town of Vratsa, North-West Bulgaria. One is named Skaklia and the other one Borov Kamak. Skaklia  is the name of two different waterfalls in Bulgaria. The one near Vratsa is 130 metres high  and is located 1.5 kilometres south of the town behind the Kaleto hill top {{coord|43|10|57|N|23|32|59|E|type:waterbody_region:BG}}. It is considered one of the highest waterfalls in Bulgaria and on the Balkan peninsula. Nevertheless, this remains a debatable question in Bulgaria until today, as this is a semi-active waterfall, not a constant one  unlike the 124.5 metres high Raysko Praskalo  also situated in Bulgaria. Water falls from the vertical Skaklia cliff when there is heavy raining or after the massive melting of snow at the end of winter or early spring, otherwise little water can be seen from farther distances. When active, however, the waterfall is easy to recognize from tourists standing many kilometres away from it, especially if they approach it from the north-west parts of Bulgaria. In the waterfall area a lot of remains from the ancient Bulgarian village Patleina have been found. Beautiful throughout the entire year it overlooks the town of Vratsa and the Vratsa lowlands. The waterfall is a summit spot of different goat routes. The Skaklia cliff itself is situated in a difficult to reach area and regardless of its clear visibility from the city, remains a difficult spot to reach by the majority of the tourists visiting Vratsa.</p><br>
<p>Borov Kamak (Боров Камак) or literally translated in English “Pine stone” is another beautiful waterfall that graces the mountainous outskirts of Vratsa {{coord|43|9|7|N|23|30|16|E|type:waterbody_region:BG}}. The waterfall is in Vratsa mountain, which is part of the famous Balkan mountain range. Borov Kamak is 63 metres high and is an affluent to the river Leva, running through the central parts of Vratsa. It is also part of the Vratsa Balkan Park, being one of the main tourist attractions and a much easier place to reach than Skaklia. The waterfall has been famous among tourists in the past couple of years due to the activities of the Vratsa Balkan Park officials and different tourist associations. Co-operating on making the waterfall more popular and easy to reach they create a tourist route that easily leads to its location. When people take the road leading up to the peaks of Vratsa mountain and after reaching a relatively high point of their travel, a turning to the left depicts one of the most beautiful sceneries of the Borov Kamak waterfall.</p><br>
<p>The John Guild House, now known as Manoa Valley Inn, at 2001 Vancouver Drive in Honolulu, Hawaii, was purchased in 1919 by John Guild, a Honolulu businessman. It had been built four years earlier by Iowa lumber dealer Milton Moore and has been refurbished and restored several times over its lifespan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>The house was purchased in the 1980s by Honolulu businessman Rick Ralston (the founder of Crazy Shirts), who restored it in 1982 for use as a bed and breakfast under the name John Guild Inn, later Manoa Valley Inn, the name under which it still operates. In 1990, the Nakamitsu Corporation purchased and further refurbished it.</p><br>
<p>The three-story gabled cottage near the campus of the University of Hawaii at Manoa contains eight guest rooms furnished with fine antiques. Among its architectural features are multiple extended gables with decorative buttresses, a porte-cochere in the same style on the valley side of the house, and a broad, sheltered lanai with a view over the city on the sea side of the house.</p><br>
<p>In 2007, the current owner and operator of the Manoa Valley Inn put it up for sale at $4.2 million for the half-acre lot and 4,424 ft&sup2; house. She decided to sell it after the external chimney was badly damaged in the earthquake of 15 October 2006. The rest of the house was undamaged.</p><br>
<p>The Portsmouth Earthworks are a large prehistoric mound complex constructed by the Ohio Hopewell culture mound builder indigenous peoples of eastern North America . The site was one of the largest earthwork ceremonial centers constructed by the Hopewell and is located at the confluence of the Scioto and Ohio Rivers, in present-day Ohio.</p><br>
<p>The majority of the mound complex site is now covered by the city of Portsmouth in Scioto County, Ohio. Several individual sections of the complex have been included on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Originally, the Portsmouth Earthworks consisted of three sections extending over twenty miles of the Ohio River valley, crossing from Ohio to Kentucky in several places. It was surveyed and mapped by E. G. Squier in 1847 for inclusion in the seminal archaeological and anthrolopological work Ancient Monuments of the Mississippi Valley.</p><br>
<h3>Portsmouth Earthworks, Group B</h3><br>
<p>The northernmost section was made up of a number of circular enclosures, two large horseshoe-shaped enclosures, and three sets of parallel-walled roads leading away in different directions. One set of walled roads extends across the Ohio River into South Portsmouth, Kentucky to the southwest to Portsmouth Earthworks, Group A. Another set of walled roads lead to the southeast where it also crossed the Ohio River and lead to Portsmouth Earthworks, Group C. The third set of walled roads lead to the northwest for an undetermined distance, and may point to Tremper Mound and Works, some 5 miles away. The City of Portsmouth maintains a public park which includes one of the remaining horseshoe-shaped enclosures, known as Mound Park, it is the only publicly accessible part of the complex. Under the name Horseshoe Mound it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h3>Portsmouth Earthworks, Group A</h3><br>
<p>Also known as the Old Fort Earthworks (15Gp1) it is a series of rectangular enclosures near South Portsmouth in Greenup County, Kentucky. Group A is a large square enclosure with two series of parallel walls extending from the northeast and southwest corners. The Old Fort Earthworks consist of several sites, including the Old Fort Earthworks (15Gp1), Mays Mound (15Gp16), Hicks Mound (15Gp265), Stephenson Mound (15Lw139), and several other unnamed mounds and enclosures. It is also the location of Lower Shawneetown, a protohistoric/historic Fort Ancient and Shawnee settlement and colonial trading post which are all part of the Lower Shawneetown Archeological District, along with the Thompson and Hansen Sites</p><br>
<h3>Portsmouth Earthworks, Group C</h3><br>
<p>Also known as the Biggs Site (15Gp8), Group C was a large series of concentric circles surrounding a central cone mound, believed to have been built by the Adena culture. This section of the earthworks is located in Greenup County, Kentucky several miles to the east of South Shore, but connected to Group B by a causeway.</p><br>

<p>The Dovecote in Dunster, Somerset, England was probably built in the late 16th century. It has been designated as a Grade II* listed building and Scheduled Ancient Monument.</p><br>
<p>It is situated on Priory Green opposite the Tithe Barn and close to the walls of the Priory Church of St George. It is approximately 19 ft high and 19 ft in diameter,</p><br>
<p>There is no documentary evidence for the dovecote&#39;s date of construction but it some of the architectural features suggest it may have been as long ago as the 14th century. It would originally have belonged to the Benedictine Priory of Dunster which was a cell of Bath Abbey. Domestic pigeons were kept to provide squabs a luxury food from the breast meat of young pigeons. From the 12th century until 1619, only lords of the manor and parish priests were allowed to keep them. The priory was abolished in the dissolution of the monasteries in 1539, and property belonging to it was sold to the Luttrell family of Dunster Castle.</p><br>
<p>In the 18th century the floor level and door were raised among several major alterations. The lower tiers of nest holes were blocked to protect against brown rats which had arrived in the Britain in 1720 and reached Somerset by 1760. A revolving ladder, known as a "potence", was installed to allow the pigeon keeper to search the nest holes more easily. In the 19th century two feeding platforms were added to the axis of the revolving ladder. When the ladder was installed in the 16th century the base rests on a pin driven into a beam on the floor. The head of the pin sits in a metal cup in the base of the wooden pillar, which means the mechanism has never had to be oiled.</p><br>
<p>When the Dunster Castle estate was sold the dovecote was bought by the Parochial church council and opened to the public. Extensive repairs were undertaken in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Morton Theatre, located in downtown Athens, Georgia at 195 West Washington Street, is one of the first vaudeville theatres in the United States uniquely built, owned, and operated by an African-American. In 2001, its location was termed Athens&#39; "Hot Corner". The Theatre currently operates as a rental facility that hosts a wide range of dramatic, musical, and dance performances as well as special events.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Morton Building was built in 1910 by Monroe Bowers ("Pink") Morton, a prominent, local, African-American business man. He owned over 30 buildings, the Morton being the largest. At one time the Morton building formed the core of the downtown Black business district. Many of Athens Black doctors, dentists, and pharmacists practiced in the Morton Building. Among these were Dr. Ida Mae Johnson Hiram, the first Black woman to be licensed to practice medicine (dentistry) in the State, and Dr. William H. Harris, one of the founders of the Georgia State Medical Association of Colored Physicians, Dentists and Druggists. The theatre was opened on May 18, 1910 for vaudeville acts and those of local, regional and national performers. Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Bessie Smith, Louis Armstrong and Ma Rainey performed at the Morton during its heyday. During the 1930s, the theatre was modified to become a movie house. In 1954, a small fire broke out in the projection room. After a fire marshals inspection, the 500-plus seat theatre was padlocked for failing to offer adequate emergency exits. Various street level businesses continued their operations. In 1980, using a combination of state and federal funds, the building was purchased by the nonprofit Morton Theatre Corporation. Local bands such as Dreams So Real, The B-52&#39;s and R.E.M. occasionally used the building for rehearsal space and filming music videos. In 1987, the citizens of Athens-Clarke County came to the rescue of the Morton through the passage of the Special-purpose local-option sales tax referendum that included the rehabilitation of the theatre. In 1991, ownership of the building was handed over to the Athens-Clarke Unified Government. In the fall of 1993, followed by the signing of a management agreement between the Athens-Clarke Unified Government and the Morton Theatre Corporation, the theatre was re-opened. The government provides staff and operating support to enable the theatre to function as a community performing arts space, while the non-profit Morton Theatre Corporation develops programming and manages facility rental policies and procedures.</p><br>
<p>Käferberg  and Waidberg  are the summits of a wooded mountain respectively chain of hills overlooking the inner city of Zürich, Zürichsee, Albis chain and Uetliberg, as well as the Limmat Valley and the Zürcher Unterland in Switzerland.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Käferberg (Swiss German: Chäferberg meaning mountain of beetles) and Waidberg (mountain of meadows) are the peaks of a longish mountain in the north of the Limmat valley. It is located in the Zürich districts of Höngg, Wipkingen and Affoltern, between Bucheggplatz and ETH-Hönggerberg, known as Science City, and the western Hönggerberg heading on the northern border of the Limmat valley to Würenlos. In the east, Käferberg is bordered by a small mountain pass between Bucheggplatz (472 m) and Milchbuck (476 m) at Zürichberg, leading from the city of Zürich to the Glatt valley. In the north, the region is bordered by the Glatt, Wehn and Furt valleys.</p><br>
<p>Its highest point (Waidberg) is about 200 m above the Limmat valley. From northwest to southeast, Käferberg-Waidberg is part of a chain of peaks respectively mountains: Hönggerberg (541 m), Käferberg-Waidberg, Zürichberg (676 m), Adlisberg (701 m), Öschbrig (696 m), Wassberg (715 m), Forch mountain pass, Guldenen (778 m) and Pfannenstiel (873 m).</p><br>
<h2>Points of interest</h2><br>
<p>It is a picturesque location, and the upper southwestern side is also the location of restaurants overlooking the city of Zürich and the Limmat valley. The upper area of the mountain is mostly woodland and a popular recreational area with picnic sites, in addition there are hiking routes heading from Bucheggplatz to the canton of Aargau and a Vita Parcours. Rarely to find in the urban area of Zürich are Centaurea, Salvia pratensis, Knautia and Sand Lizards on the southwestern upper hill. Schrebergärten are typical for the southern and northern upper parts, too. The Wärmebad Käferberg is located in the south nearby the city hospital Waid (Waidspital) and a Deer inhabit.</p><br>
<p>Another restaurant, a Tennis club and a small TV tower are situated within the woodland at Waidberg summit, nearby the former Freibad (public open air bath) Waidbad which is now a popular pic-nic site, too. The area is used for recreation and sport on a clearing not far from the ETH-Hönggerberg. There was a project to renew the Waidbad as a site of wellness, to integrate the area in a so-called "forest spa" including indoor baths, sauna, cafeteria, complete infrastructure and attractive outdoor grounds.</p><br>
<h2>ETH Zurich "Science City"</h2><br>
<p>Science City is a campus of the ETH Zurich located on the eastern Käferberg slope respectively on western part of the Hönggerberg hill (officially the campus is named "ETH Hönggerberg", too). ETH Zurich declares it as vision of a university campus and a "City district of brainstorming culture" which will transform the ETH site into a place with greater quality of life through a variety of measures. It is also declared as a platform that will make it possible for the ETH Zurich to realize future projects that are based on the pioneering and symbolic development of future living and cognitive space.</p><br>
<h2>Transportation</h2><br>
<p>The tram numbers 11 and 15 to Bucheggplatz, tram 13 alongside the southern area to Frankental as well as the bus line 80 Oerlikon–Altstetten–Triemli, bus line 38 (Höngg), trolley bus line 46 (City–Rütihof) and bus line 69 (Milchbuck–Hönggerberg) run up to different parts of the mountain area.</p><br>
<p>The 2,119 m long Käferberg Tunnel runs under a shoulder of the hill, carrying trains, including those of S-Bahn Zürich lines S5, S6, S7 and S16, between Hardbrücke and Oerlikon stations.</p><br>
<p>In September 2014 a study was published for the construction of a new rail tunnel and underground station serving the ETH Hönggerberg "Science City". The new tunnel would run directly between Hardbrücke and Regensdorf stations, as opposed to the indirect route via the existing Käferberg Tunnel and Oerlikon station that is currently used by service S6.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In addition to a total of 15 bastions and Letzinen (palisades) outside of the Fortifications of Zürich, in the 17th century the area was part of the so-called third fortifications of the city of Zürich. Since 1907, the houses "Zur Waid" served as Krankenheim, a small public hospital. The so-called Waidgut was rebuilt in 1918 as an urban nursing home which is since 1962/3 the care center Käferberg. As part of the incorporation of the former municipality Höngg, the forest area on Käferberg owned by the citizens was sold in 1934 to the city of Zürich as well as the other areas of the former urban forest located there. Even today, there are large, contiguous agricultural land in the immediate neighborhood of the "Science City".</p><br>

<p>The Alfred Hocking House  at 1302 Nehoa Street in Honolulu, Hawaii was built in 1903 for Alfred Hocking, founder of the Honolulu Brewing and Malting Company. It was designed in Queen Anne style architecture by E.A.P. Newcomb, a nationally known architect newly arrived in Hawaii, in partnership with the much younger but well-connected local architect C.W. Dickey. It was listed on the Hawaii and National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>Even after Alfred died in 1936 and his wife in 1940, the property remained in the Hocking family until 1947, when it was bought by Dr. and Mrs. Edmund Lee. After Dr. Lee died, the house was known by the name of his widow, Rose Chang Lee. By the time she died, it was badly in need of repair. Honolulu entrepreneur Rick Ralston, founder of Crazy Shirts, then bought and restored it so successfully that it won the "1985 Award for Ground-Up Restoration" from local architects. Ralston also installed new plumbing and air-conditioning, and later sold it to a local developer whose children attended nearby Punahou School. In 2006, after they had gone off to college, he put the house on the market for $5.5 million.</p><br>
<p>The name Graystones comes from its exterior walls of 21-inch slabs of hand-cut bluestone, complemented by white latticework and green and white awnings over the large wraparound porch. Inside, the house offers living space of 8,210 ft&sup2, including seven bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, with a grand staircase, high ceilings, chandeliers, hardwood floors, redwood wainscoting, Palladian windows, claw-foot bathtubs, and even a fern grotto with tropical flora and a trickling stream off the dining room.</p><br>
